Mia is amazing! It was my first time going to this salon and I had a great experience with my balayage. Mia took the time to understand exactly what I was going for and patiently worked through the details of how to achieve it. She totally delivered, best hair coloring experience I've had, and was super lovely to talk to as well. Got compliments on my hair the rest of the day, highly recommend! read more

Meg is awesome!! Since moving closer to West LA, my typical salon in Studio City has been much harder to reach during peak traffic. Decided to give this place (and Meg) a try and was not disappointed. I came to Meg for a much needed cut & toner. She listened to the details of how I wanted my hair and DELIVERED! Outside of that, she's an awesome person to talk to & getting my hair done with her felt like I was just hanging out with a friend. While I still love my old salon and appreciate the work they do, I'm so glad I found Object Salon as a feasible option while living in this area. PARKING: Didn't see a parking structure, but was able to find free street parking around the area. Just pay attention to street signs. read more

Object Salon - toner & cut by Meg - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I have been a customer of this salon for many years. Often recommend it to friends or moms on face book groups when someone is looking for a place. I really love Meg who cuts my hair. However, salon shows no flexibility at all when it comes to cancelation policy. My appointment is Wednesday. I called on Monday to cancel due to illness of my 2 yo. (but salon was closed; I also sent email at night to follow up not realizing they were closed) When I called on Tuesday morning a lady said she would still charge me $50 cancellation fee. I find it absolutely unacceptable since I tried calling/emailing on Monday. $50 is a lot of money. I am a regular customer there and I always tip at 20% usually more. Maybe this is something owners/managers can discuss because this in my opinion should not have happened. read more

This was my first time to Object Salon and Noa was so wonderful! She checked in with me throughout the haircut, making sure I was liking what she was doing. She was so kind and bubbly! She really paid attention to how I wear my hair daily. Will definitely be coming back! read more

If I could give 10 stars i would! I came in with a horribly botched haircut from a different salon. Noah was an absolute angel and completely saved my hair!! I had to facetime everyone I know afterwards to show them how great of a job she did at fixing my hair.... All collectively agreeing she did a fantastic job. I will recommend everyone I know to come here. Ahhh! Thank you so much Noah! read more

Had a couple services here with a couple different stylists and have to say, everyone has been super nice. Very gentle and nurturing vibe with the services. Both stylists were very eager to listen and check in to make sure they were providing what I wanted. It ended up feeling more like a spa day than some other salons that feel quite hectic, or god forbid those times where I'm left feeling like I got what the stylist wanted, not what I wanted. read more

I've been going to this salon with my wife for years. Masa is the man and I am always happy with my cuts. The staff are friendly and the space is clean and inviting. Prices are what prices are, but there are more places that have higher prices and lower value. Easy booking online. Parking is a little washy, but it works. read more

Miki is the best, I cannot recommend her enough! I have long thick hair and went through 4-5 other stylists before being lucky enough to find her. Seriously for someone who doesn't "do" their hair often, she cuts it so well that I don't even have to. I get so many questions on what I do to my hair and literally all credit to her she just works her magic. Go to Miki, you won't regret it! read more

Probably the best partial highlights I have ever seen. The salon is minimal in design but inviting. Everyone who works there was lovely. The real star is the quality of the hair colorist. Amazing blonde highlights that look so natural and vibrant. Thank you!!! read more

Got my hair cut by Meg today and she was great! Very communicative and talked to me throughout my cut to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. She also recommended me some new products to try. Definitely recommend read more

Mia is the girl! My first haircut with her and she gave me exactly what I wanted. She's also funny and super cool to talk to. I will be seeing her from now on read more

I have been to this salon twice (just cut, no color) with two different stylists, Masa and Meg, and both were great experiences! Masa helped give me a good trim and plenty of long soft layers in my hair. I was going for a 90s look (long layers framing the face, fullness at the ends) and he executed the layers really well so that there was a lot of movement when I blow dried my hair. Apparently he has helped to mentor several other stylists there. He clearly has a ton of experience and knows what he's doing! He was also super friendly and nice to talk to. Meg more recently took me from drab grown-out hair to a blunt shoulder-length cut. She knew going shoulder-length was a big change for me, so we spent about 20 minutes just talking through different options for length, layers, shape, etc. which I really appreciated. She helped work with the pictures I provided, and my own concerns, to come up with a plan for my hair. She also showed me how to blow-dry it at home for the best results. The salon itself is clean and pretty, plays great music, and has friendly staff. Also, the prices for cuts are extremely affordable!! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I have FINALLY found an amazing stylist! Mayu is an exceptionally talented hairdresser. She listened to me & immediately understood what I wanted and just did it! That simple! She fixed my hair and gave me the exact cut and color I've been trying to get for some time!! I haven't loved my hair in a long while and now I do & it's all because of Mayu! She will be my forever stylist!! Thank you! read more

I've been going to Object Salon for almost a decade now to get my hair cut and occasionally colored, but more recently I've been getting my eyelashes extensions done with Mayuu. I've been a client of Mayuu's for a couple years at another salon but when she made the switch to Object Salon I knew I had to follow her there! She does an amazing job. Really clean, meticulous and quick! I've been to maybe six or seven other eyelash technicians before Mayuu and she's by far the one I feel most comfortable with. My natural eyelashes are pretty much straight, short stumps and she manages to make them look beautiful and natural. read more

Object Salon - Eyelash extensions by Mayuu - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

New hair, new me! Friendly, personable and professional, Rion took amazing care of me in the chair today and I could not be happier with how my hair turned out! 12+ inches later, and I'm LOVING how amazing it looks! Started with a clean robe, wrapped and ready to go for each client. Then moved along to a relaxing shampoo and chop! My hair was down to my butt and getting way too difficult to maintain and i figured it was time for a change. Rion walked me through the process before actually cutting it to ensure I wanted to continue with so many inches and recommended donating it! Wigs for Kids will be receiving my braid soon. The salon itself was spacious and sparkly clean and booked by appointment only. They sanitize before and after each client and take your temperature upon arrival so I felt comfortable and safe in a sanitized environment! The chairs are already spaced out pretty far from each other so there's no concern about social distancing here! I will definitely be coming back to Rion next time I need a cut! She did an amazing job, as she does on all of her clients. Do not hesitate to book her! Thank you Rion :) read more

I've been getting my lashes done here for a while and Mayuu is the best! She's so sweet and talented and does an amazing job every time!

I've been growing out some bad highlights I received elsewhere almost 9 months ago and wanted a very subtle, warm balayage just on the top to blend that line where the highlights started, but also keep it easy to maintain. Marie did a fantastic job - it turned out even better than I thought it would and I didn't even have that great of a sample photo to show her. Will definitely be back. read more

1. I make the appointment with the stylist Mia. Just want let ppl know that, if you come over late longer than 10 minutes, you need to pay for 100% the service fee as the cancellation fee (yes, in a high traffic area and they do not have their parking area) . This is the first time I heard that the cancellation is 100% of the service fee :) My hair cut is around $100 You should be really confident about your driving skill and confident in predicting the west la traffic before you make the appointment with them :)) Check the screenshot. 2. Their appointment system seems always meet problems. One year before, I also experienced they make a wrong day appointment and call me blamed me I miss the appointment. It turns out just wasting the time and suffering to deal with the stylist and this salon. read more

After finally getting in touch and getting a haircut. I want to update my review. I very much enjoy the experience and results I get with my favorite go-to hairstylist. Definitely worth giving them a chance. read more

Reading the reviews here I'm glad my appointment didn't get moved or cancelled at the last minute, since I flew in from Seattle to get this haircut. My stylist was punctual and attentive and the hair washing felt so nice! She also imparted some fun stories about haircutting during the appointment. I asked for suggestions for a hairstyle that could frame and slim my face, since this is the first time I'm getting my hair cut short in awhile and there's been times where the shorter haircut makes my head look more oval in a horizontal rather than vertical direction . We ended up cutting about 6 inches of my hair off and putting in a lot of layers underneath the outer longer hair, and I'm not sure if this was the best approach for my thick, straight, and already very voluminous hair. I feel that this look makes my face look wider than it already is. I can't wait for this haircut to grow out! read more

My first time here, a nice shop in a trendy area. I was greeted nicely and "Chocky" my hair stylist cut my unimaginable hair. I had long stragly hair, and i asked him to cut it to shoulder length. My hair grows like a weed. It now looks so healthy and beautiful. Nothing fancy but beautiful!!! Hes such an amazing person, a worldly man. Ill be back to get pampered. read more

Had an appt with Rion at 10 today. She wasn't there. Waited for 20 mins and asked the staff to contact her only to find out she didn't know about the appt. They said she can come in 15 mins. I had to be out by 11:30 and it didn't seem like that could happen if I waited, so I canceled. I had to shuffle my schedule to make time for this, it's very disappointing. Unprofessional! read more

I have been going to Object Salon for some 25 (maybe more?) years now, even followed them across town when it became (in LA-speak) "geographically undesirable" for me, because Hiroshi (the owner) is so good. He consistently gives me great haircuts (I have shorty, wavy hair, so a good cut is really important); plus the salon itself is a soothing space, immaculately clean, and always welcoming. The hair wash is a treat unto itself, including a wonderful head and neck massage. A number of my friends also go to Hiroshi--one with long and very curly hair, others with straight hair and/or who color their hair--and everyone loves the results. I cannot recommend Object Salon and Hiroshi highly enough. read more

This was my first time getting a balayage, so I was a bit nervous about what to expect and/or what would happen if the colors were too light. However, my stylist, Miki, listened to what I wanted and offered her input and recommendation as well before we agreed on something that would look best for my skin tone (light-medium Asian skin tone with warmer undertones) and hair texture (extra fine dark brown/black). She also showed me some faux hair color swatches and how she planned to color/bleach my hair. The swatches also helped make sure the colors would compliment my skin tone. She walked me through the steps of what she would be doing and was very patient in coloring my hair. She would always check in to see if I needed refreshments. When it came time to wash, condition, and shampoo my hair, she was very thorough, and even gave me a nice neck massage during the wash session. Afterward, she took her time to blow dry my hair and curl it to really showcase how the new colors of my hair would frame my face. The results of Miki's coloring/bleaching were beautiful- not too light, but light enough that the brown-ish hues peaked through and if my hair were to grow out, it would look very natural. For my appointment, the whole process from consultation to me walking out the door with beautiful balayage hair was less than 3 hours. Overall- I would highly recommend to others who are looking to get a balayage. Miki really knows how to work with fine Asian hair. I would definitely come again for my next appointment. Atmosphere and decor- very minimalist, simple, and clean. Customer Service + Availability - great! I had asked for a price quote and booked my appointment via the Yelp app, all within 2 days. My appointment was the same week. Price - very fair. I quoted a few other salons before deciding on Object Salon. Other places quoted me at a higher price point, or time needed for appointment (6 hours/session) and/or required cash only payment. read more

wow.... just wow! no words at the moment : ) My husband (and me of course) loves my new look, the amazing job that Natsumi did is just amazing. The results are wonderful, I just love the way my hair looks & feels now, Natsumi brought it back to life. Natsumi is dedicated and has a great way to spot and bring the best out of your hair. She knows & understands which color and cut will will highlight your face. In LA, hands down, she's the best stylist I have visited in a long time. highly recommended..... see you soon friend! read more

Object Salon - just gorgeous! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

This is just a note for those looking for a curly hair cut ... Kelli doesn't work here anymore. I made an appointment anyways, and had my hair cut by Chocky. It looks amazing straight, but as usual just ok when curly, definitely not terrible (which is always a possibility for curly hair) but nothing to recommend. There didn't seem to be anyone else there who was a curly hair expert. But very friendly vibe, nice clean salon. read more

This review is for Mayu! :) Mayu was AMAZING!! I have dark brown Asian hair with very grown out balayage and wanted a lighter natural look. Mayu was so patient with all my questions and it turned out so beautiful!! I'm obsessed with it and I constantly get compliments on it even weeks later. Mayu did a phenomenal job working with my natural face shape to make the perfect face-framing highlights. I feel like I get a confidence boost each time I look in the mirror now! If you're browsing Yelp reviews looking for a stylist for the perfect beachy balayage, look no further - Mayu is your gal. I didn't think that I could go as light as I wanted in one session, but she was able to pull off a miracle and still keep my hair super healthy! Not to mention Mayu is the sweetest person ever. I had so much fun and I'll definitely be coming back! :) read more

Object Salon - Balayage and haircut by Mia - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Hiroshi cuts and keeps my hair looking good. He is a true hair artist. I highly recommend him and trust him.

As much as I would love to support local businesses, I don't want to deal with this salon. The service is inconsistent. One haircut my daughter had there was great, the other with another master was bad. She cried afterwards. I need to take her somewhere else now to fix it if possible. The worst part in addition to the inconsistency in skills amongst the masters is the draconian cancellation policy. They claim that some booking require elaborate preparation and therefore if you cancel in less than 48 hours they will charge the full price. My pre-teen daughter had a simple haircut scheduled with nothing that required any preparation. But when something came up and I left a message the evening before the appointment and then called again early morning to see if I can shift the late appointment appointment to either a different time or a day. I was told that I would be charged no show/late cancellation fee. And their kid's haircut is $70 each time, though the website states start with $60.. This is not a good customer service. I've never seen a business that is not willing to work with the client on rebooking the appointment especially the one that's a quick kids haircut!!! Greedy is what this business is. I will never be back. read more

This salon is a joke they have a booking engine you are required to make booking by stylist by availability 3-6 weeks out THEN a week later they call to say the stylist will be on vacation you seek to get another stylist to do half the service you originally booked, you schedule this instead THEN the day of the service they call to say they will switch me to a 3rd stylist...Hell NO! This isn't tire service it's hair... never again! read more

Website still takes money even though store has been closed. This is nothing less than a SCAM Update: They replied by saying i'm probably talking about another business due to my word choice. This remains the correct business, with the same problems. Your salon is NOT open and your website STILL makes reservations, taking money from costumers. That is a SCAM. read more

Great staff and great haircut! I was nervous to do a big chop and get a bob, but it turned out great. Would come back and recommend to friends! read more

Masa Kobayashi is an artist! All my life I have had negative experiences with getting my hair cut but he just styled it and also game me a beach wave perm. It is excellent! I love it and I'm so happy! read more

I've been looking for a great salon in Los Angeles since I moved back here 3 years ago. They were able to accommodate me just a few days before my appointment. Mister Masa cut my hair and he did such an excellent job! He looked carefully at the photos I showed him and knew I wanted volume without me saying anything. He even asked for my input to make sure I was getting what I wanted. And the head massages are to die for! Definitely coming back here for my root touch up and next haircut! read more

Thank you Mia!! My hair is naturally black, fine, and very straight. I came in for balayage and a haircut to add dimension to my blunt cut long bob that had grown out.

I had a horrible experience here. I came in bright blonde and left almost black because my stylist messed up the toner. I asked for a shadow root and honey blonde balayage. It came out a brassy brownish color with grey undertones. She even tried bleaching it out even though I didn't want to add any more bleach to my hair because of the damage. I'm sorry but this place ruined my hair and I am still sad about it. read more
