This is a long overdue review for this salon! I started coming here after my hair was damaged by another salon. I was booking hair treatments every other month, blow outs, toners. All via text Someone would always get back to me right away and book me. I haven't gone back in a while but I think it's time to. They have great service!! And super cute stuff for sale. I came in about a week ago and they have sooooo many goodies!! Will be coming back for hair treatments soon! read more

As much as I've been trying to not shop, I just can't help but stop in this hair salon/gift shop! They have the cutest little hair clips, as well as some really nice bath products, among other things! I just love this place! Shout out to Rose for her excellent customer service! read more

The best salon in Hermosa. I used to see Tanna but then switched to Janice when she moved away, and I couldn't be happier with my highlights and cuts. She even cuts my daughter's hair (which isn't easy.) I always find something cute to buy in the boutique when I'm shopping for gifts for others, too. 5 stare read more

Janice is the best. I switched to her a few years ago after my stylist moved, and I've never been happier with my hair. She knows exactly what to do to modify a photo of a style to make it suit my hair type. Scheduling is painless. Front desk staff is always friendly. And they sell the cutest merch. I love going there! read more

Parking is pretty challenging. The vast majority is metered parking with a max of 2 hours so you have to constantly check on your vehicle orrrr you will be Cited. Luckily the kind staff will more than gladly run outside for you to add more money in your meter. (Thanks ladies!) Appointment can easily be made via online or by telephone. I've been here twice for color and cut. Each time I came I was paying approximately $200 so total about $400 for both sessions plus tip. I was super excited to visit this salon. I had found them on Instagram and had read the views and I was 100% committed into trusting someone with my hair. I figured an upscale salon would provide upscale results....about that..... I first came in August 2019. (Mind you ive had horrible hair experiences years prior) I told the hair stylish I wanted ombré balayage hair. My natural hair color is dark brown Note: * I understand it's not going to be hella light instantly after one time at the salon * Anyways My hair dresser took about 4 hours putting foil on my head and doing her whole hair stylist stuff and I ended up with highlights. I'm not a hair expert but highlights is super different than balayage. My hair looked about the same. If I were to stand in the sun maybe you could tell it was a bit lighter. But nothing worth ppl noticing. (My own boyfriend couldn't tell the difference). However I loved the hair stylist personality and I trusted her and was told lightening my hair is a process and to come back in 6 weeks. So I paid. Tipped about $60 on top of the $200 I paid. Annnnnnd scheduled my appointment for 6 weeks. I bought hair products and did my best to take care of my hair. Throughout the time. 6 weeks later in September 2019 I came back. Hoping to get the results I wanted. Same thing. Got my hair bleached again. And noticed i did notice it was significantly a little lighter. (Not the results however a little lighter) And once again I was told come back in a few weeks. As the days went by my started to feel like a rubber band. It felt stretchy and brittle. (I asked myself was this normal?) The texture of my hair was harsh and would easily tangle. It started to feel rough and dry like Hay. As the weeks went by I started noticing my hair was starting to get really weak and breaking off. I felt like I was going bald and I constantly used hair mask and products recommended. after days of hiding my hair in a scarf or hat I went to a new hair stylist to get a hair cut sincey hair was uneven, dry and not cute AT ALL. So I went to a NEW hair stylist AT A NEW salon I found online. I was praying the same thing wouldn't happen in this salon. I met with the hair stylist who has about 25 years of experience and she told me my hair had been over processed and needed hair treatment. She grabbed a mirror and showed me. The back of my hair had a Ton of broken pieces. And there was different spots of hair color. Some platinum blond. Some brownish and some yellow. None of it was the same Shade of blonde. My hair was extremely damaged and needed a couple inches trimmed. So after chopping a few inches of my hair now I need to pay for color treatment due to the over processed hair that gave me a chemical cut. Sooooooo the moral of the story is I got a bad hair job. Pros: staff members are polite and friendly Cons: over paying to have your hair ruined. I unfortunately won't be going back to Mimosa. It's sad to say. I hate giving bad reviews. But now I have to go else where and pay for the damage done. read more

Janice is amazing! I was looking for a great hair stylist and colorist. She did a phenomenal job at picking the right color and haircut that works best for my face.. read more

Someone I work with recommended this place for blonde hair. Was super interested after seeing pictures as this would be alot more convenient that the salon I went to before covid. They dont have any kind of online appointment booking system so I called them a few times this afternoon and no one answered and there is no answering machine. I then texted the number they said to text for booking and followed up with another text a couple hours later. Never heard back. Will take my business elsewhere. read more

I had my hair done by Lauralai for the first time today and I am so, so, so happy! I've been looking for a new colorist for about two years now. You would think this shouldn't be that difficult but after trying three different salons in the Southbay, I FINALLY found my new home for hair. She was able to start the improvement process of a poorly executed color and cut in just one sitting, I'm already MUCH closer to my proper color and cut. Her colleague Chia was the sweetest as well and I couldn't have felt more at home. These two ladies work so well together and gave me a killer blow-out finish and beach wave curl. read more

I am overdue to write a review for Mimosa and my amazing long time hairstylist Lauralai. Since the first time I went to her for balayage and all my hair care needs I have never been disappointed. Even months after a service my hair still looks amazing in between visits. She just gets it!!!! Sadly, we moved out of the area to San Diego County but I would still make the drive to get my hair done by Lauralai! She is so talented and treats your hair like a work of art!! It's the best when you encounter someone who is so passionate for what they do. Don't miss out if you can get on her schedule. read more

Let me just start off by saying that everyone that works here is amazing. From the second you check in to the second you check out! I have been going to Mimosa for a few years now and I have not been disappointed. I am currently having my hair done by Saudi, she is very knowledgeable and accommodating. I also appreciate her being realistic with my hair goals! Super important quality in a good hair dresser!!! Anyway, my hair always looks amazing and I have sent over family and friends. And now we all have great hair! I've also been getting my brows done with Julie, I can't ever go with anybody else! I trust her with my face 100% I love Mimosa! The owner, the front desk, and everybody else! Good vibes all around xx read more

I've hesitated for a while and felt conflicted about writing this review but here it goes. I came to Mimosa because a stylist was highly recommend to me by a close friend. I met with the stylist at the end of December 2021 and we had a consultation, she wanted me to get my hair cut prior to getting color done by her, so we set up a meeting with another stylist for the cut, and the color was to be done two days after the cut. This appointment was set about two weeks out from the initial meeting. So I went and got my hair cut, and because of complications with covid, my color appointment had to be canceled and I wasn't going to be able to be seen for about a month and a half out. I waited, I said ok no problem and waited because I finally felt like I had found the one since I unfortunately have had major complications with my hair in the past. Fast forward to my appointment date, my appointment was scheduled for 11 am and they moved me up to 10 am I say great! In earlier, out faster right? Wrong. I have very short hair, just below my chin, sits on my neck and my hair has never taken longer than 3 hours even when I had hair down to my chest it just hasn't. We talk over what I want, I gave the most thorough explanation like literally could not make it any more straight forward and we had inspo pics of what I wanted my hair to look like. I am a brunette and know I will not be platinum over night but when I tell you that my hair looks NOTHING close to what we discussed and the photos I showed.. I was there for 8 hours. I don't understand what took 8 hours but that's how long I was there for. She also took two other clients while she was doing my hair. I personally felt like she did not manage her time properly what so ever and I was upset that she was taking other people while working on me, further delaying my appointment that I had been waiting for almost two months at that point... At the end of it I was super frustrated and just left. Tried to make the most of it at home. Here's where I get really irritated, I texted her the next day, really trying to express that I was appreciative of the work that she had done, but it wasn't what I wanted at all and if there was anything we could do to fix it. She basically dismissed my text message and said if it was the tone I was upset about we could schedule to strip it out. I did take a day or two to respond to her because I was stuck at work, but once I responded I said okay lets try that, and also asked when we should be booking the next appointment out. She never responded to me. So after a few days I manage to get in contact with her boss through a third party, and the boss responds back that she "offers you to come in and strip the color out and retuned so it's just blonde if you want to do that".... which was what the stylist had literally texted me but again no one was going through and making an appointment with me. I basically felt like they were just dismissive of my situation and not really caring to be bothered. I took the tone out myself and, my hair looks blonder where it was already blonde but other than that, I don't know what she spent 8 hours doing because my hair is extremely dark, she barely brought the blonde up, and I can't wear my hair picked up because its too dark underneath. I give it two stars because I like the place, love the guy who cut my hair, and I get that things happen, but again the reason I'm leaving the review now is because a month later I still hate my hair, I spent $430 to hate my hair. When a salon is that expensive and their stylists pride themselves in their work, there shouldn't be a lack of urgency to get back to their clients and dismiss text messages. Even if they tried to fix the situation now, I wouldn't go back, maybe just to get my hair cut from the one guy but probably not. Sorry. read more

There's a deal going on right now: 3 brazilian waxes for $99! No expiration dates either! It's such a great deal because Brittany and Gina are amazing! They both use hard wax instead of the strips, which I think is way better. I've never had problems making appointments and there's free parking in the back. read more

Brittany is awesome!! If you're looking for a brazilian wax she's your girl! She's fast. Efficient! And the process is actually painless. She can have you in and out in LESS than 30 minutes. I would have no problems recommending her to all my friends. The salon is nice. And... there is parking at the back of the salon. Well.. there's a small parking area with four parking spots. read more

Updating my review due to what I've noticed. I got my haircut on Sunday the 20th of Dec at 10:30am. As soon as the curls in my hair fell, my friends and I saw that my hair was uneven. We parted my hair directly down the middle and saw that my right side was much longer than the left side. I'm currently trying to figure out how to attach the photo. Super disappointed at this, embarrassed my hair was butchered and I'm now afraid to get my hair fixed at the salon. I paid such a high price and shouldn't be receiving this quality hair cut. read more

Paul does my hair at Mimosa. Look at the photos, how cute is he?! He cuts so expertly, they call him Edward Scissorhands. I get color too, and it never turns brassy, always holds up well. And.....I have fun chatting with Paul, he's an all-around cool, nice guy. To top it off, Mimosa carries my beloved line of Kerastase. I have no need to go anywhere else. read more

I've gotten my hair done with Saudi twice now. She's amazing! She knows what she's doing and she really pays attention to what her clients want. The atmosphere of the salon is great and the prices are fair. Saudi really takes her time while working on my hair to make sure it's exactly what I want. We started with brightening my hair and then put some color into the second time. read more

SO bummed they don't offer spray tanning anymore!! They were my favorite by far. They used to have such a good deal too. :-(

Came into Mimosa to get a Shellac manicure for the 1st time. I was test-driving before my wedding in a month. Liz is the "nail professional" and did an amazing job ! I thought it was be very tedious and time-intensive, but it was really fast. My nails look beautiful, so I will definitely come back. The only draw back on the Shellac process is that you are limited in the color selection. Hopefully in the future they will come out with more colors. read more

NO TIP ON CREDIT CARD; CASH TIP ONLY. Update: I came back to LA and had Brittany for eyebrows wax and Ashley for lowlight (for the very first time in my life). This service/review is based on June 13, 2012. Let me give you a bit background about me. I'm in my mid-20s; asian with hair length down to my bra line. I have medium hair thickness with some strain of hairs that is ultra thick. Prior coming to Ashley at Mimosa for the lowlight, I went to get consultation at four different places. Therefor the price here is very reasonable. My lowlight cost $145 (this is all over the hair). Plus they are having a deal 50% off highlight/coloring/lowlight for Southern CA resident (this is as of June 13, 2012). I love my lowlight and I received a lot of great compliments from my friends and family. The reason why I give 4.5 with the satisfaction for my lowlight is there is a bit damage and frizzy on my front side which is noticeable for me and small part on the bottom of the hair didn't turn out as nice as the others. But it's all good, the overall i love it. I'm glad it didn't turn out crazy or wild. It's very natural blending in to my current dark brown hair. Thank you Ashley for making this a great first time experience. The only thing this place didn't accommodate with the lowlight was deep hair conditioning, but Ashley did trim my hair bang for me w/o additional cost. :-D Was very kind of her. (side note: deep conditioning is $20 additional which is reasonable price). One thing about this place I noticed is when they are working with one client - in between time, they don't go and work on another client and have someone else check the hair for the stylist. I noticed that action happened pretty often at some salon. Here, Ashley spend so much making sure I feel comfortable, and spend time on my hair to make sure I am satisfy and happy with the result. Thank you again. Rose (I think), at the front desk is a sweetheart. She greet with you a smile and offers you water regardless how long you are staying there for. She make you feel comfortable. About my eyebrows wax- no complaint; was painless and wonderful with Brittany. ($15 eyebrows wax - definitely a reasonable price) RATING (1-5 ; 1 is the lowest): cleanliness: 5 (including restroom) service (in general)- 5 service - lowlight w/ Ashley: 5 satisfaction with my first time lowlight- 4.5 service- eyebrows wax w/ Brittany: 5 Something small on a side note: Hair wash station have a leg resting chair so you are not in an awkward position. This is good for those who have back problem or/and pregnant. But of course, good for anyone in general because it's relaxing. I thought that was very considerate of the salon. Will I be back? YES! :-D But i'm unsure about the lowlight because i'm on a budget, but if they have the special 50% off again, then yes hehehe. I'm a sucker for a great deal (of course the result and service have to be good). Otherwise I still would be back here for my eyebrows wax with Brittany. read more

I love love love Saudi!! I came in looking for a change in my hair and she was able to accomplish exactly what I was hoping for. She worked with my color damaged hair and made it look better than it has ever looked. It'll take one more session for me to achieve the lightness I truly want but I am 100% content with what she did for me. Highly recommend coming to her if you're hair has previously been colored! :) read more

Lindsey is magical! I love my haircut, and she showed me how to style it. She's absolutely lovely and did an amazing job! Thank you!

I've been going for months looking for a curly cut certified stylist. I finally found someone who does an amazing job. I have very curly hair and I struggle to have nice curls. So thanks to Saudi who I truly trust to cut my curly hair, I've been having the nice curls ever since she cut it. She also told me about two techniques to do with my hair and it has worked since then. My first curly cut was October 2019 and I just went back again February 2020. Only because my hair grows fast and I loved how my short curls look. I highly recommend Saudi if you are looking for someone to cut your curls. I have been very happy with my curls every since then. She's amazing and very nice. read more

I scheduled my first appointment at Mimosa with Lauralai for a haircut and color consultation. She did a fantastic job on my haircut - several inches off, fresh 'do, fresh look, and so happy with her thoughts and feedback along the way. I'm excited for my color with her that is scheduled this week. read more

I walked by one day and saw the salon and decided to schedule a Brazilian wax because they had a good deal going in, and almost no negative reviews about the brazilian. But now looking back, the reviews about the Brazilian wax service is really spread out over the years. I had Julie today, whom the salon told me was the only one who does Brazilian waxes there anymore. She wasn't friendly like some reviews mentioned, but she wasn't nasty either. It just seemed like she was in a real rush, and I felt rushed. She didn't really talk to me, so I tried to start conversations with her, so that I could keep my mind off the waxing pain. During the wax, it hurt like sh*t - I haven't gotten a Brazilian for awhile so I know it should hurt. But I asked Julie where to pull my skin taut (like where she was going to wax next) so that I can minimize the pain. My past waxers usually put me at ease, and told me different ways I could help to minimize the pain. Julie didn't oblige, so it was just fast ripping over loose vagina skin- ouch my goodness! Whatever. I got home and tweezed some extra small hairs I had (because I was trimming and the hairs were too short to wax, this should be normal).. and I noticed in the mirror, ALOT of long hairs and short hairs in the crooks and crannies.. and on the face of the va-jayjay.. ALOT. Also, she didn't completely wax the back all the way up. Ew. So sorely disappointed! TMI? I spent 45 minutes plucking on my own, and it's pretty hard to do that down there. read more

My worst experience I have ever encountered in my 74 yrs going to a salon happened at Mimosas in Hermosa Beach, Ca. The Owner, Rose called my daughter telling her they wouldn't honor her appt because she had missed twice her appt without calling. She didn't even ask her why and told her she could come in as a walk in ,however didn't say they would have time to do her hair. I'm widow of 5 years and live / my daughter and I've had health issues she takes care of me. I don't have a crystal ball to let people know I'm sick. We also live and own property in Hermosa Beach for over 50years and therefore support the mom n pop businesses locally. Rose , the owner obviously dosen't need the money or dosen't have social or personal skills to appreciate her businss. Including her Customers... Juanita read more

I'm from out of town, but I was visiting a good friend who highly recommend mimosa to me. I stopped in for a brow wax and was booked with Julie. Julie had a consultation with me and mentioned what would be best for my brows and face shape, so we went more with waxing and less trimming. We chatted a bit about plans for the weekend, she was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. My brows looks amazing! When I'm back in town I will definitely be back! read more

I e been going to Mimosa for years. The women who work here are always exceptional and professional. I love how my hair looks when I leave. I especially love Alicia. The owner, Rose, is a constant fixture here. She is always friendly and greeting everyone by name. She works so hard to keep everyone happy. The last time I was there, she spent the entire time spraying, wiping and cleaning the entire salon. She is doing an excellent job of keeping everyone Covid safe. read more

Saudí is my go to! I have very curly hair so I'm really PICKY with letting people work on it. She's the second person in 26 years who I trust with dying my hair.

I always look forward to getting my hair done with her because I feel so much more confident and prettier after! read more

Lauralai did an amazing job on my hair! She did a gloss and haircut. She has been doing my hair for 7 years now and I recommend her to everyone I know because she really listens to what you want to do with your hair and follows through. She's such a sweetheart, her coworkers are extremely nice and present good vibes throughout this salon. read more

Great salon. Most places in South Bay seem to require weeks to a month's notice to book an appointment and have extremely limited hours (which limits options for working professionals). I have seen two or three different stylists and they have all done a lovely job. Parking is indeed challenging but it is on the main HB strip so it's what you should expect. read more

Signed me up for phone spam - Now getting texts from different places I went to this salon. I was fairly happy with my experience. The cut was ok and the atmosphere was fine. That was great and all. I was going to give them 3 to 4 stars. Yesterday, I noticed a text from them from some third party service that lets me track my appointments. Let's see, I didn't ask for that. I don't live in the area and don't have any other appointments. To boot, now I'm getting spam texts from unrelated parties. I've never had this before on my number. I'm also on the national do not call list. You can see the FCC's guidance below, but they should not be sending these. I called the salon to complain. Their response? Oh you can just opt out. Picture how useless your phone would be if ever person to whom you gave you number or email address added you onto a spam list. Sorry, but I didn't ask for this and it's BS to expect me to opt out of it. Under the FCC's rules, texts and commercial email messages may be sent to your mobile phone if you previously agreed to receive them. For texts that are commercial, your consent must be in writing (for example, in an email or letter); for non-commercial, informational texts (such as such as those by or on behalf of tax-exempt non-profit organizations, those for political purposes, and other noncommercial purposes, such as school closings) your consent may be oral. Great job. You had a customer who was happy with his service and now you've made an enemy. Next time, how about you idiots just do the sensible thing and ask, "Do you want to be signed up for our text reminder service?". You won't piss off customers that way. read more

Best brazilian wax EVER! I've been to both Gina and Brittany multiple times and they are the best. Brittany did my first brazilian wax (extremely intimidating) and made the experience as comfortable and painless as possible. Both Gina and Brittany are meticulous and make sure they get every last unwanted hair, you'll walk out feeling baby smooth! For first time clients the offer half off their brazilian wax (originally $45 each, so $22.50) which makes trying out Mimosa a no-brainer. They also offer 3 brazilian waxes for $99, with no expiration date! Overall, the best brazilian wax ever coupled with friendly and experienced staff makes Mimosa the go-to salon in Hermosa! read more

The hair stylist and manicurist are great. Don't get me wrong. It's the management that sucks here. Twice they have cancelled appointments on me with no notice. The first time, they did call me but I was at work and since I didn't have their number saved in my phone, I didn't answer the random number that called. But they couldn't be bothered to leave a message that my hair stylist had to go home sick. Just leave a message. It's easy. The second time I had an early appointment right when they opened. I got there three minutes early and it was dark inside and no one was there. I went to get a coffee and came back 15 minutes later to them telling me that I couldn't take my appointment because I was late. Considering every time I go there I usually sit there waiting for 15 minutes anyway, I seriously didn't see what their deal was. I got there three minutes before my appointment and the place wasn't open. I called and got no answer. No one bothered to call me when I was apparently a no show. Like I said, I like their stylists but the management combined with the fact that I do think they are a tad over priced....I'm probably going to be shopping around for a new place to go. I like the girls I go to but I feel like I can find people that are just as good minus the hassle. read more

Getting a bikini wax is never an easy thing. And when you're distracted with the thoughts of having your most sensitive area ripped to shreds, it's somewhat difficult to appreciate all the aspects of what makes these places worth coming to. Yet I must say... this was by far the best waxing experience I ever had. They take walk-in's! No more hustling around Pink Cheeks schedule. Parking... meters right out the front door, up the street, around the block, in the plaza...need I go on. Service and ambience was friendly and serene. The torture chamber had a chandelier above the bed; nice touch in addition to the twinkle pain stars I'd be seeing soon. Experienced waxer. I can't emphasize this enough. I once had a woman in France who was so inexperienced I thought I was in a bad scene from Pulp Fiction. So in other words...God Bless Gina for being so good I was done and over before I started thinking to myself, "WHY THE HELL DO I DO THIS!" And the best part - I paid $40 for a Brazilian plus a $10 tip. They have great specials! Pink Cheeks - kiss goodbye. I've found a new spot and they're much cleaner than you. Oh, and their wax is better. read more

I have been going to Mimosa salon for about four years now. Between my hair, nails, and eyebrows, I am there about every other week, that's a lot! In all that time I have never left feeling anything but great! Tanna has always done my hair; I get highlights, cut, and sometimes hair strengthening treatments. I'm always super pleased with the results. Tanna is very meticulous in her work and it always shows. She also cuts my husbands hair every month. She's super sweet snd fun to chat with, and I prefer her blow outs to any Dry bar. Julie waxes my brows and is a master of her art. My eyebrows have never looked better, and right on trend. Liz does my gel mani and pedi! She's very good and gentle. My gel always lasts the full two weeks and cuticles look great. Everyone at the salon is very friendly. The front desk girls are very polite and the owner Rose always knows you by name. I don't make a lot of recommendations with my name attached to it, but in this case I'm confident in doing so. read more
