Michi has moved- 2222 Pico Blvd in Santa Monica. I will follow her, and so should you, because she performs miracles. read more

Michi is AMAZING! I highly recommend her services. She is thoughtful, creative, and her suggestions are on point. She really worked with me to create the best cut and color possible. I will be a long time client! read more

Just had my hair straightened by Michi today and I LOVE it as usual. I have been getting my hair straightened by Michi since 2007 and I will follow her anywhere! My hair is soft and silky and not at all damaged. No weird chemical smell either. Michi performs miracles, especially since my hair is also colored and highlighted, its AMAZING that she can perform a straightening treatment on top of all that and not damage a single hair! I love Michi :) (and her sweet pug too). As far as price goes, you get what you pay for. Japanese straightening isn't cheap, but its well worth it. I usually park across the street at the park, even though it says 2 hour parking, I've been there for longer and never had a problem. read more

I've been treating my hair with Japanese Straightening for over two years. Michi is amazing and my hair looks great. Her studio is very comfortable, and while she takes care of your hair you can catch a movie. Even though this kind of hair treatment is pretty expensive she is not overpriced at all. Highly recommended! read more

I met Michi over 15 years years ago when she was just starting out as a stylist and I could tell from my 1st appt that she was super talented but she was also one of the nicest people I've ever met. I have the worse coarse, thick, dry, damaged red hair that is going gray fast. Michi was able to match my natural hair color from when I was a kid and she used a special straightener product from Japan, which at the time was a brand new product. The results were amazing and I have yet to find another stylist who can do what she does for my hair. It's the healthiest it's ever been and I owe it all to her talented hands. read more

Michi is amazing!! I travel from Florida to California just for her straightening services! I've tried all different straightening types and her is by far the best! The Japanese straightening lasts almost a year, and my hair air dries with NO frizz! She can also add in curls if you want, but I prefer completely straight! The chemicals she uses are safer than most other treatments and my hair always comes out looking incredibly healthy! Michi takes her time to ensure that your hair is just the way you want it! read more

So so happy I went to Michi! I wanted to wait a week before posting a review to see the condition of my hair after body straight treatment. I can now say 110% I LOVE the result. I got my hair straighten a looooong time ago when I was younger and remembered the experience to be painful. With Michi, not only was it fast (less than two hours, shoulder length hair), but it was quiet relaxing. Don't think twice about coming here, it is definitely worth every $$$. I will definitely be back when my hair grows out! Thanks Michi!! read more

Michi truly is as good as it gets. I have been going to her for about 5 years now and I trust NO ONE else with my hair! The Japanese Straightening has changed my life in more ways than one and Michi brightens my life with her cheery presence and professional styling. I love her so much that I moved to NYC and flew back to LA just to go to Michi. She makes you feel like a VIP when you get your hair done - she's got a private room with a DVD player, so bring your movies! Honestly, I wouldn't hesitate for one second to rec commend Michi for hair straightening, cut, color, etc. Go to her! You won't regret it and you will be so grateful to have Michi in your life! read more

Michi did an incredible job, so happy with how it turned out! This is my first time seeing her. Found her here on Yelp and decided to see her based on reviews. She does a consultation first to look at your hair so she can give you a quote. The straightening is usually done in a separate appt as you have to do hot oil treatments (coconut oil or vitamin E were her suggestions) at home a few times beforehand to help your hair be in the best condition possible. It's really expensive, but she's a perfectionist and does it right. My understanding is that price varies based on difficulty of hair. The product also does not have formaldehyde in it, which was super important to me as with Brazilian blow outs in the past, it was unbearable to go through that process with the smell. I appreciated the fact that she really took her time and made sure that every part of my hair and strand was perfectly straight. My hair in front was just slightly wavy, so not as difficult. But, the back of my head and inner layers were much more curly, so it took a few times with the product she uses to make sure it came out straight. It took almost 6 hrs for my hair, longer than originally anticipated, so make sure to allow a full day as until the process actually begins, it's difficult to pin point how your hair is going to take the chemical. After washing my hair for the first time, it was so awesome to see how fast it was to do my hair. I let it air dry half way and then blew dry with my fingers and a little with a paddle brush. No straightening iron required! I've gotten on a bunch of compliments on how shiny my hair is. Having 2 young children, it's a life saver as a I have zero time these days to fuss with my hair. read more

I wish I could give Michi a 6th star! I have been one of Michi's clients for many years because she does absolutely fantastic work. I will NEVER go to anyone else for hair straightening. Michi uses the best products, unlike other salons that use straightening solutions that contain toxins such as formaldehyde. Michi's products are safe and many of them are organic in addition to smelling great. While her products are awesome, what really sets MIchi apart from others who do Japanese hair straightening is her meticulous attention to detail and her commitment to keeping your hair in the best condition possible; my hair always looks healthier and shinier than when I walked in. Also, Michi has a great studio in Santa Monica now, which is very relaxing and comfortable. It feels like you're going to a good friend's loft to hangout instead of sitting in a bustling, gossipy salon where you can get a headache from smelling all of the chemicals being used. She also has free underground parking for her clients, which is a huge bonus in LA. Bottom line: Go to Michi if you want fabulous, straight hair. Trust me, she is worth every penny! read more

Life-changing! I have thick, coarse, frizzy hair and I was looking for a treatment that offered results like the Brazilian Blowout, but without the formaldehyde. Michi worked her magic with the new "Body Straight" treatment and I LOVE it. The process smoothed out my hair, making it totally manageable and relaxed enough to have the option of blow drying it straight, air-drying it, or creating soft, beachy waves. Michi really takes the time upfront to listen to your needs and understand what you want and don't want. She totally "gets it"! Such a rare gem - I'll definitely be returning for more treatments! Thank you Michi! read more

I've been a client of Michi since 2004 when I first tried the Japanese straightener. I tried the Brazilian straightener in between but I will say I prefer Michi's knowledge, experience and patience over the Brazilian. Michi has resurrected my hair after the Brazilian which made my hair completely frizzy and unmanageable. If you don't want to go completely straight, Michi has a relaxer and a smoother which make your hair straight but not completely straight. I have the privilege to say I've tried both of them and was extremely happy with the final result. I give Michi 5 stars for turning my natural wave to straight locks without really having to blowdry. read more

I've been a client of Michi for 15 years and she is an artist. Michi can work with any hair type and create masterpieces that you can do yourself. I have thick, heavy hair and she creates body and movement making me feel like a new woman after our visits. I'm extremely particular about my hair. Michi listens, looks at your facial structure and will show you pictures of her vision. She's also an amazing colorists who cares about the health of hair which is important to me as well. After every visit I have at least 10 people who comment on my hair. Michi is top notch, one of kind and worth every dollar spent. read more

I love going to michi. She's at a salon on robertson but she's in the back- in a private room w/ glass walls. So, you can see what's happening in the salon but with the door closed it's quiet. I bring my laptop and get work done during highlights. Her cuts are amazing- it grows out perfectly. I've never had compliments on my cuts before going to Michi. I love her highlights too- I've also gotten tons of compliments on my color. She will always ensure your blonde looks natural. read more

Getting the Japanese hair straightening treatment from Michi is the best decision I've ever made when it comes to my hair. I used to have super curly hair. Throughout the years it became more frizzy and wavy on the top and super curly and unmanageable on the bottom. I was worried initially since I am a swimmer and am in the chlorine 5 days a week but there has been no problem. Michi is amazing. She takes so much pride in her work, looks at each strand to make sure it is right and is an overall awesome woman to be around. The treatment is amazing because it makes my hair super soft, airs dries how I want it, there are NO chemicals and I only have to come back every 6-8 months to touch up my roots. I am a customer for life! read more

I just got home from my first root touch-up with Michi and once again she's done an amazing job!! If Yelp had 10 stars I'd give her all of them! I came across Michi's website about 2 years ago when I was looking to do a japanese straightening treament on my VERY curly hair. I went in for a consultation and by the end of it Michi told me I had to wait until my hair grew out some. You see, I had recently had other hair processes done, like highlighting so my hair wasn't a good candidate at the time for her treatment. I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of time Michi spent with me on the consult - she asked questions about the exact processes I had done in the past, what chemicals were used, etc. She meticulously analyzed my hair, feeling for strength, thickness, and amount of curl. I was sad at the time I couldn't immediately do the treatment but oh so grateful that Michi was honest with me. Most hair dressers aren't as experienced as Michi and would have just done the process in order to make the money. Michi sent me home with some special hot oil treatments and a regimen to get my hair in healthy shape! A year and a half later, I was back at Michi with my fingers crossed that my hair had grown out enough. It had! We set a date and just like my consult, Michi was meticulous about the process - it's clear there's a real science to japanese hair straightening! I have now gone through the initial first treatment and my first touch up (4 months later). My hair is healthier than it's ever been and dries perfectly straight! Seriously, it's like magic! I wish Yelp had a photo option so I could share a before and after picture, and you could see just how great of a job she's done! I LOVE Michi and you will too! read more

About 13 years ago Michi changed my whole life through my hair, she is absolutely the best! A friend and co-worker introduced us and bought me my first Michi cut and color after I had nearly destroyed my hair. It was on the verge of literally falling out and Michi brought my hair and me back to life. It is not just getting a cut and color with Michi, it is hairapy. Her calming energy and amazing personality make you leave your troubles at the door and focus on you. Every time I walk out of her door I feel like a superstar. The best part is that my hair is so well done, it looks natural, not processed and colored. Michi cares for your hair and matches your hair to your personality with both cut and color. She is so much more than a hair stylist or colorist. I really do not have enough words to describe what an amazing person she is or how amazing the experience of her doing your hair is... you just need to go and experience it yourself! read more

This is my fourth straightening service with Michi and I'm delighted with her work. I had not been back in a couple of years because life gets in the way... in the mean time I tried the Brazilian blowout which didn't last long nor did it smooth out my hair the same way. I also tried a straightening service with someone else and noticed damage to my ends. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to back with Michi. My hair feels new again. I'm forever grateful for your professional work. read more

Michi is the best! She has transformed my frizzy hair into perfectly straight shiny hair that I always get compliments on. I have been going to Michi for 8 years and my hair is perfectly healthy. She uses all organic and safe products. She is awesome! read more

I've been her client for many years. She is a Japanese straightening specialist. She also provides many more treatment. Please check out her site. I received deep conditioning with scalp massage using oil that is mix of all organic natural herbs. I was losing a lot of hair when I wash. Result was immediate. Amount of hair I lose dramatically decreased. I have also been receiving hair color that ingredients are all natural without ammonia and harmful chemicals for couple of months now. Amount of hair I lose is much less compare to when I was receiving color that contains ammonia and other chemicals. Bottom line, she is very knowledgeable about hair therefore she knows how to treat it. My hair is much healthier since I started to receive all natural hair color and shampoo and conditioner she recommended to me. She is very health contentious. She does not use hair products that contain harmful chemicals. read more
