She worked with me to make sure length was what I wanted, which I really appreciated. I was really happy with how my hair came out! Definitely took into account all of my ideas, hair routine, and inspo. The salon is cute and clean. It's well-organized, and the stylists all seem happy to be there. Gabrealla had great product recommendations, and they keep products they use in stock. I went on a Thursday afternoon and was able to find street parking close to the salon. I've been looking for a go-to salon in LA, and I think this is it! Definitely recommend Gabrealla :)

When I made my appointment at Miakel Bishay Salon, I specifically requested to be paired with…read moresomeone experienced in cutting long bobs because I knew the style I wanted required skill and precision. I wanted a shorter bob in the back and longer in the front. Since this salon is expensive, I trusted that I would be in professional hands. Unfortunately, my experience with Mitra Jam was extremely disappointing and honestly devastating. The first time she cut my hair, it did not look anything like the haircut I asked for. When I explained that I did not like how it looked, she cut even more trying to "fix" it, and it ended up way too short while still not looking like the style I wanted. I also mentioned that I wanted some volume removed from my hair, but instead of blending it properly, she started cutting random chunks throughout my hair. Now, weeks later, I still have pieces sticking out that are barely about an inch long. There is no way to blend them or style them naturally. I literally have to use gel just to keep those pieces down because they stick out everywhere. I truly believe that if someone is not experienced or confident doing a certain type of haircut, they should not perform it. It is honestly unbelievable to pay this much money and leave with your hair completely ruined. Despite everything, she was kind and told me that if I wanted her to fix anything, I could come back. But realistically, she cannot uncut my hair. I normally do not leave negative reviews, but this experience genuinely affected me and I would not want someone else to go through the same thing.

BEWARE!! I've been hesitant to write this review, but it's been a long time coming…read more This salon requires a fairly large deposit when you book your appointment, usually 3-4 weeks in advance. The problem is that when you check out after your service, they charge you the full amount again, as if no deposit was ever paid, seemingly hoping you've forgotten about it. Then, on top of that, you're expected to leave a tip. This happened to me multiple times. At first, I thought I was just forgetting because I hadn't kept track of my deposits. But on my last visit, I took a screenshot of my deposit confirmation before my appointment. When it was time to pay, the cashier insisted I pay the full balance with my card. I only brought enough cash to cover what I knew was the remaining balance plus my tip. When I showed them my deposit receipt, they suddenly changed their tune. Their reaction made it seem like they knew exactly what had happened. Please keep track of your deposits if you choose to visit this salon. Screenshot your confirmation and verify that your deposit is deducted from your final bill before paying. I can't say whether this has happened to anyone else, but based on my own experience, I believe I was overcharged multiple times. Had this not happened, I would have remained a loyal customer. Instead, I feel like I lost hundreds of dollars that I worked hard to earn.

I had booked her last year around November/December, but I totally kept changing dates due to just having a very busy work/mom schedule. Well the time came and Nancy was so kind to remind me about my appointment. I finally was free and went ahead and got my hair done. It came out soooooo amazing! So many compliments too. When I walked into the salon one the hairdressers greeted me warmly and guided me to sit where Nancy normally works with her clients. I felt really warm vibes immediately. Once Nancy arrived (I arrived extra early) she began her magic. But during the process, the gentle approach and her attentive ability to communicate and lather my hair gently sold me. Usually you're used to being splashed here and there, well my experience with other hair dressers. I was surprised I didn't get much water in my ears which is a problem for me since I have ear sensitivity and I'm just used to getting ready and embracing for the worse. I didn't get a wet back at all and I didn't feel rushed ever. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Do you know how hard it is to find a hair dresser with great hospitality service? Yeah this one is a gem. I really recommend stopping by or booking with Nancy. 1000/1000.
