STAY AWAY! Object Salon don't promote a service if you don't have qualified stylists. I had an appointment with Miki for the Japanese hair straightener treatment and I was basically told by the stylist that she wasn't "comfortable" anymore, so she cancelled 5 minutes before my appointment. If the lack of professionalism by the stylist and everyone involved is a reflection of the salon's experience and work, I would not trust this place with your hair. Stay away, find another salon that will appreciate your business and not waste your time. read more

This review is for Nana, I recently moved out of LA but prior to that I had been going to Nana for over a year and a half. When it comes to hair cuts & color im extremely picky. She does an AMAZING balayage, highlight, root lift, trims what ever you need she does it to perfection. And her prices are extremely reasonable. I didn't realize how good I had it until I moved out of LA and spent $400+ attempting to get the quality color Nana does & it still wasn't as good. Ill be flying back to LA just to see her. I highly recommend her to anyone! xx read more

Object Salon - Hair By Nana - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

From making the appointment to checking in, this place is IT. Natsumi is absolutely incredible. Friendly, efficient and gives a stellar cut. The overall vibe of the salon is emanating that everyone knows what they are doing. It is very clear that those who work there are experts at their craft. I highly encourage people to come here. read more

Nana did an awesome job with my bob and hilights! I was very nervous cutting my hair so short as bobs can sometimes read as either very old or very young, but she nailed the shape and I feel so modern and chic. I will def be back. Thank you!! Also: salon is modestly decorated, prices are reasonable, and you can tip on the card. There are several coffee options on the block for a post-chair refreshment. Great place to walk around and collect compliments on your new hair! read more

I came in for a "fun color" with Mia. She did an amazing job! I've gotten so many compliments on my hair color. I came in for a consultation with her. I was deciding between red and blue. I already had some red in my hair, so she suggested that I stick with the red. I showed her some pictures of the shade of red. She said that it wouldn't be a problem to do a burgundy red. I thought that it was helpful that she was willing to do a color consultation. She suggested that I do a balayage as this makes it easier for upkeep when my hair starts to grow out. I think that she used olaplex to help keep my hair strong through the bleaching and dying process. She did bleach it a bit, then dyed it with two different colors. The first red processing gave it a rose-gold color. She thought that it might be nice to make it a bit deeper, so added a bit of purple burgundy. I absolutely loved the finished color! Mia was amazing at both listening to what I wanted, but also giving great suggestions. I'm so happy with the final product! read more

I love Noa and her attention to detail with color / partial highlight. The salon is calming, clean, and quiet.

The gentleman who did an all over color was very kind and I like the espresso color I requested. However, on the phone they told me for an all over color and trim that the price would be $190. I was charged $250 and with tip paid $300. I asked why it was more expensive that the price I was given on the phone and they said the blow dry. If they charge $60 for a blow dry, I would have expected to have my hair parted and a round brush used but I had to go home and re-do my hair. Overall, I'm happy with my experience with the cut, color and company read more

Absolutely love my hair and great experience from start to finish. I showed up pretty early, and they still sat me right away. From the service setting up my appointment, to the head massage you get during the shampoo, you feel taken care of. I got an appointment with Mia for cut and balyage. I showed her a couple of pictures and she gave me exactly what I wanted. She was super nice and professional, and also finished really fast. I'll definitely be back! read more

I've had long hair all my life, and I was slowly getting sick of the length (it doesn't help that I just became a mom, and yanking on hair appears to be my infant's primary field of expertise). I wanted a radical change, a bob (ahem, mom haircut, ahem), and wanted to find the best place for it knowing that a crappy crazy haircut would kill me. I scoured Yelp for various salons, looking specifically for short haircut reviews. Let me tell you, SoCal women LOVE their long wavy haircuts. Short haircuts are few and far between. In the end, I ended up choosing Object Salon. It didn't hurt that I'm Asian, and they're Asian, which means they are probably really familiar with my hair type and texture. So I called one morning, was able to book an appointment for the same day. I was assigned to Nana when I got there and she was able to see me right away. She was a total pro - eased my fears about chopping off 7 inches, gave me a great wash, and when she got to work she asked me throughout what my thoughts were on it so she could make adjustments as necessary, and ultimately ended up doing such an AMAZING job! So here's a rare short hair review, LA women - go here. One of the best haircuts of my life, bar none. I keep getting compliments every where I go, and I already can't wait to go back! This is definitely the salon I'm going to keep returning to. Thanks Nana!! read more

Object Salon - Me, minus 7 inches of hair (I've never had hair even close to this short!). Nana is magical! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I got a cut with Nana after seeing good reviews for her and the salon. I showed Nana a picture of the haircut I wanted to emulate to help with direction and I also explained with words to make sure it was super clear what I wanted. Basically, I wanted to cut my long hair into a shoulder touching lob with a few short layers towards the bang area. Nana ended up shaving my neck hair off, and cutting/buzzing my hair off all the way to near my ears!!! She cut the hair closest to my neck to half an inch long. It's not even on either side, but I didn't tell her because I could barely speak when it was all done. I've never felt so horrible during or after a haircut. I've never cried about a haircut until this experience. I still cry when I look in the mirror, and it's been almost 2 months. I have to go to a new salon and get it fixed. I paid Nana over $70 for that cut. read more

I read reviews for Miki and decided to give it a shot. I needed a root touch up, color correction and a cut. My last stylist left me very brassy and I wanted the ballayage to be more neutral. There's still some work to do, but I'm very happy with the outcome. She also took great care not to stain my skin since I have a dark base and stain easily. Her consultation and work was very thorough. Highly recommend. Thanks Miki! read more

Super disappointed. I've been here twice, and this would have been my third time. I made an appointment a week prior and confirmed with a lady over the phone. I show up, and the front desk gal says I'm not in their system, nor is my appointment anywhere to be found. I moved my entire schedule around just so I could make this, and the best they could do was ask me to come back later in the evening or wait around for an hour for the stylist to potentially come in early (not even guaranteed). Clearly no one has time for this, including me, so I left. I won't be returning. read more

Mia did such an amazing job with my hair! I always hate bleaching my hair because of the damage it does. But for some reason, my hair came out healthier! I didn't really know what I wanted exactly but explained to her what I was looking for and she was able to figure out exactly what to do. I called and searched so many places this past week and finally found this salon with reasonable price points. Thank you, Mia!! I finally found a local stylist that I'll be going back on a regular basis! read more

Meg did a great job adding light ash brown highlights and avoiding, as much as possible, brass or red/orange hues. Most importantly, she listened and understood exactly what I wanted. Thanks Meg! read more

I recently saw Mia after reading many great reviews. I have to say I was beyond pleased - she did such an amazing job! I decided to chop my long hair off and was nervous, skeptical and all that in between. Mia talked me through her recommendations and gave me advice based on what would look best for the way I typically wear my hair (air dry with no product). I decided to trust her and I am so glad... the end result looks great and I wish I had cut it sooner! The salon is great. It's a beautiful space in a good location with plenty of parking. The vibe when you walk is laid back and trendy. I would definitely recommend Object Salon for anyone on the west side looking for a stylish, affordable cut. read more

Object Salon - Cut by Mia! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I've been coming to Object Salon about once a month for the last 10 years. Kazu and Emma previously cut my hair and did a fantastic job. Masa cuts my hair now and he's simply the best. Attentive, consistent, professional and just a pleasure to converse with! read more

I had an appointment and confirmed the day and the time with the staff(Noa). Later, I asked her about paying method and she asked me to pay by cash. When I was on my way to the salon for the appointment I received an email from her that she had taken an appointment with another person at the same time. Her excuse was that I hadn't responded after she told me to pay by cash. She was very rude about it and apologized after I argue about the appointment. It was really unprofessional, and I'm very disappointed with my experience. read more

TL;DR Best haircut of my life. Come here if you feed off the flattery of others like I do. Marie was my stylist and she gave me short hair for the first time in my adult life. I am now a member of the exclusive (LOL JK) Cool Girls With Lobs Club. TBH I didn't know what I want when I came in. I'm one of those people who go through life unprepared for anything and usually I suffer for it. But not this time!! I've had 11 (ELEVEN) compliments so far, which is the most # unsolicited compliments I've received from haircut. I told Marie I prefer to live a low maintenance life (more out of laziness than self~ confidence~~) so Marie suggested a shoulder-length lob and showed me pictures online. I think if I had been more awake and alert, I would've chickened out but I had just gotten back from Vegas the night before so I was pretty laissez-faire about the whole thing. So it went: shampoo, head massage, cut (!!! so many inches holy) with wet hair, blow-dry, more cut and layering for texture on dry hair, and curl. She was super sweet throughout, and laughed at all my shitty jokes too! A+ experience. The whole process took 1 hour and came out to $65, or $52 with the first time customer discount. I love that Marie took the time to demonstrate how to style my hair to look like the photos she showed me. It wasn't too hard actually, I was able to replicate the look at home even with my graceless hair curling skills. I also super appreciate that she didn't push any of the salon's products on me, even though I asked about them and gave her plenty of opportunity to do so. She gave me product recommendations based on my hair type and lifestyle (aka lazy), and even told me if I really wanted the salon brand I could find it online for cheaper. She was just so so sweet and looked out for me more than she needed to, you know? If you're uncertain about coming here, I hope I can convince you to. I've run the gamut of haircuts, from your risky $15 Chinatown budget cut to the $300+ cut from an in-demand Hollywood stylist. This one is t h e b e s t. read more

It's an emotional minefield for a woman trying to find these three things in life; a good lover, a good mechanic, and a good hair stylist. Thank God for me, one out of three ain't bad! I can't say enough great things about Masa and the entire team at Object Salon. So often these places can be pretentious and unwelcoming, especially to a first-time client. But from the initial first phone call to make my appointment to the moment I left, everyone was warm, gracious and helpful. So, the cut. My hair had gotten down to my waist, and although I wanted to keep as much length as possible, I also wanted it to have movement, look healthy, and be relatively easy to style. Yeah, basically I wanted a miracle. And Masa delivered, exponentially. I'd been through a very dark period, lost someone I loved to sudden death, and was just working my way back, beginning with this cut. He only took four inches, but it might as well have been 20 pounds of sadness. I looked in the mirror and saw myself again. It feels wonderful to have a stylist in my corner again, who is an amazing artist, and a gifted professional. It's nice to know that at least THIS search is over. read more

Beyond glad I found this place. For it being located in Santa Monica, this place is beyond affordable. Prices are decent (with an extra 20% off for new customers), plenty of free street parking within walking distance, and everyone is super kind and time efficient. I've only gotten my hair done by Nana, and I've been nothing but pleased! She does exactly what I ask, and doesn't feel the need to converse the entire time (which is my preference). Always look forward to coming here! read more

Object Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Do not come here!!! I got my hair done last week here. I was here about six hours for just a root touch up and an highlight and the stylist kept toning my hair four times because it kept coming out wrong I was so frustrated and was not happy at all and now my hair is falling out and I am so unhappy! I wanted to write a yelp review because I keep calling and no answer I messaged them on Instagram and no answer. I want you to see how bad it is! I want a refund this is not okay people come to the salon to look better than what they came with and I came out worse!! So mad I want a refund and I am being ignored everywhere read more

Kelli is a hair game changer!!! We had to reschedule a few times, and I wondered if it was a sign, but then I remembered I don't believe in signs, and am so glad I waited until she was available! I have naturally curly hair, and have been through the roller coaster of bad hair cuts and different hair cutting styles. Dry, wet, dry and wet, individual curl, you name it, I have been disappointed in the result of it. I had resigned myself to always have meh-fine haircuts, found a place for $100+ haircuts that were fine, until I needed to find a new salon in Santa Monica. Enter Kelli. So appreciative of fellow yelpers who called out her curly hair skills. She is so freaking good. She was able to keep the length while adding new shape and life to my curls, without the dreaded shelf look of the wrong kind of layers. I am now a Kelli convert, and cannot recommend her enough, ESPECIALLY if you have CURLS. Natural curls 4L. read more

This was my first time at Object Salon and I'm so happy with the result! Miki did an amazing job with my haircut and balayage.

Will definitely be coming back! read more

Mr. Masa did an amazing job on my balayage and haircut. Def the most affordable dye/cut I've had in LA (and since I dye my hair blonde, I have been to A LOT of salons), and it looked great! I felt listened to, and I will definitely be going back. read more

Masa is incredibly gifted. I drive over an hour to see him. He knows exactly what to do with my long hair. The salon has a happy vibe to it.

THIS IS FOR MIMI. But first - the discovery. As any female, or diva dude knows.... finding a salon to trust your beautiful locks with, is a nerve racking ordeal. I've had ONE bad hair cut and that was one too many. So, I did a lot of research before I came to Object Salon. I noticed on the yelp reviews that a lot of asians come here. So, being asian, I figured, why not? Plus, I was leaving on vacation and they were able to accomodate me last minute which was a HUGE plus. Arrived there, and immediately the "EXPERIENCE" began. They took me to the dressing area where I put on my robe thing... offered me coffee/tea/water while I waited. Then, Mimi came to me and sat with me, and we discussed what I wanted to do. This was very much like a consultation. She touched my hair, we discussed what I wanted and she shared what would work and what didnt... we looked at pictures on both our phones to confirm what I wanted... LOVED the fact that she CONFIRMED and MADE SURE and TRIPLE CHECKED what I wanted before we got started. Throughout the entire process (I did a cut and single color) Mimi was extremely attentive, constantly asking me if things were alright. When she would trim my hair, she made sure the length was ok, before she continued. Basically for the entire 3-4 hours I was there, I felt like I was truly cared for. Mimi stayed REALLY late to take my appointment, we ended up being there till about 9pm. I really appreciated that, and what's even more amazing is that even though everyone else left, the salon was closed, at NO point did Mimi seem rushed to get out of there. She took her time, and ensured that I got what I wanted, and more! End result - my hair is fabulous. I've gotten numerous compliments on the color, and I will DEFINITELY return to Mimi. xoxo! read more

All of the rave reviews you will read about Mimi are absolutely true. To me she is simply--the One. I've looked for her for most of my life--that hairdresser you swear loyalty to because she will make sense of the collection of celebrity hairstyles you've saved on your phone, and then interpret that to a cut and style that actually fits your face shape; that colorist who can comprehend an illusive gradient you can only explain as "black roots to blonde tips but between blonde and an ash blonde," and then can actually achieve it! The stylist who will look at you when you ask for a loose perm and quite sweetly say, after a pause..."Yes we can do it, but I don't recommend it." Honest. Skilled. Generous. Mimi is..the One. This past Thursday was my third visit with Mimi and she never disappoints. I come proof with pics below of the ombre she magically blended with my old yellowish/blonde ombre which she had also done a year prior. it was tricky business mixing ashy blonde with the yellow blonde, but she pulled it off and I am in love with it. Mimi follows the same meticulous process: After mixing, applying, and heating the dyes, she washed my hair--complete with scalp massage--then trimmed my long layers to a healthy length while my hair was wet, blow dried it into big curls with a rolling brush, and then trimmed my hair AGAIN while it was dry. Just when you think it's over, she then takes an extra 30 mins to curl my hair with a curling iron and finishes off the look with style and spritz of hair product. 4 hours of attention and care. I felt so spoiled. I brought my bf who had mid-length curly locks that needed a restyle. He opted to go short--about a 2-3 inch length--and it hasn't looked this good in years. At this point he only trusts Mimi with his curls. My Ombre was 150, hair cut was 60; Bf's cut was 50. For 2 people it was altogether only 260! That is 2 cuts, 1 Ombre, 2 Shampoos/Scalp Massage, 2 Styles/blow dry. Easily could cost double in other Santa Monica salons. But then again, other salons don't have Mimi. read more

I have been coming to Object for ages. I really want to compliment the salon on their COVID procedures --I felt very safe the entire time. Clients are generously spaced out, no one is lingering, masks are required at all times, temp checks, and everything is constantly disinfected. Now what you actually care about. Mia is the goddess of color. Only problem is that she is so good and blending balayage that your roots grow in so natural so you delay touch ups. Or in the case of quarantine people think you have done ombré recently. Seriously, lazy hair ladies, you need Mia in your life. I can't do justice at the color wizardry that she performs. read more

I came to Object Salon to have my hair done by Mimi, at the recommendation of a friend. I saw my friend's hair, which was a soft ombré (balayage), and I knew that's what I wanted as my very first dye job. (Virgin hair, baby!) I felt more comfortable having my hair dyed for the first time by someone who was recommended. Mimi was very detail oriented and made sure she did what I wanted. She was clear, gentle, and very thorough. She's also very personable, so it was easy to have a conversation throughout the process. More importantly, she knows how to work with Asian hair and knows which styles would look good for Asian faces. (My last stylist butchered my hair and gave me a cut that was very harsh and unflattering for my face shape.) Needless to say, Mimi fixed the atrocity that was my original haircut. Long story short, my hair looks amazing!! I can't stop staring at it. My fiancé loves it too. I can't wait to strut around work with my new hair. Highly recommend going to Object Salon, specifically to see Mimi and have her work her magic. I will be going back for sure. read more

Object Salon - Bayalage (soft ombré) by Mimi - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I just got back from Object Salon for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience! I had Risa and she was so nice and sweet! She was extremely talented, patient, and thoughtful when it came to giving me advice for my style. I was looking for a hair cut and ombre - the only problem was that my hair had been permed a few months ago. She let me know that there are risks with bleaching your hair after perming which I really appreciated. After a bit of debating, I knew I still wanted to try it...and thank goodness we did because it turned out amazing! Risa gave me the perfect ombre, and it looked shinier than ever. She took excellent care of me for 3.5 hours. In the end, she even walked me to my car to make sure I didn't have a parking ticket. Excellent salon and staff! I'm so happy with my new hair :) read more

Today was the very first time in over ten years where I had my haircut finished in a salon versus shaving my head every week at home. I have been growing my hair since February and today, April 20th, I scheduled my hair appointment at this salon recommended by a friend of mine. I spoke with the friendly receptionist that scheduled me today with Mia, who is quite skilled and was listening to my concerns. Well, let's just say, this salon has a lifetime client and I will definitely remain loyal wth Mia! I am Korean-American so my hair is straight to naturally-wavy so my hair is a struggle and Mia completely gave me a handsome haircut with amazing scalp treatments and hair grooming products that are reasonable and work exactly for my hair! After a few hours of the completion of my hair cut, I have been outside in the windy day and my hair still looks amazing!!!!! The environment of this salon is really calming and all the staff are very friendly, too! They have complimentary tea and coffee while you wait - though as I was early, I didn't even have to wait an entire minute. Wow! First impressions are the most important and I am definitely happy and excited to return for another cut! Thank you to this wonderful salon and especially to Mia!!! read more

I came here because my usual place was all booked up and I really needed a haircut fast. My stylist was Kana, and she was absolutely amazing. This was the longest and most meticulous haircut of my life, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I felt like she took care of every single piece of hair to make it just perfect. She was literally making last minute adjustments as I was getting out of my seat. Service was impeccable. Usually, I'm not happy with my haircuts and it takes me a few days to get into them. This time, I was instantly pleased. No adjustment period. It just looked good, and continued to look good. For $50 it's a bit steep (especially since I need haircuts about once a month), but it's well worth it. read more

I paid for half my service online when I booked an appointment for today. They sent four confirmation texts, all from different numbers, and did not answer their salon phone when I called to confirm. I am outside the salon now blowing up their phone (no one answers and it seems to be disconnected), the door is locked, and lights are out inside. I understand some businesses re-close due to Covid but at the very least do not charge my credit card and not indicate in your salon's voicemail that you are closed. Very, very frustrating. read more

Looove Mari! I have had many bad hair stylist but here the service is good and the results are great! Extra bonus for me it's only 2 miles away from me! This review is so overdue, I now live 52 miles away and still go to see Mari. She tells you what you need to do without upsale-ing you. Plus she's super fun to converse with and provides recommendations to the style that you want. I've gone to so many where they disregarded what I wanted and I would always have to fight for what I wanted, here she would make recommendations and suggestions to what your thinking of so you can make the final decision- after all I am paying for the service and it is my hair?! Anyhow my niece and I even visited two additional times to get our hair colored balayage style - loved it and it was so pleasant to know that we were shuffled around, the salon does a great job with the appointment settings and ensures that your stylist is focused on you from start to finish :), love it here and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a salon that cares. read more
