51 year-old straight man here. Been coming to Margan with my daughters for 15 years. I won't let anyone else touch my shoulder length hair as it's a key asset to my whole style. She always does a beautiful job layering my cut and I get compliments often. She's remarkably fast and is reasonable in her fees. I've paid 2x the price for a lesser quality cut. My girls still come to her when they are home from school. Studio is clean and upbeat and very dog friendly. read more

Panache - Two weeks after a cut. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I requested an appointment with short notice and they squeezed me in with Michael on a Sunday afternoon. The hair washing alone was amazing! It was probably the best scalp massage I've ever experienced. Michael knew exactly how to style my hair with no instruction from me. He is a real pro! I wish I lived closer, I live in Santa Cruz. Part of me would be willing to fly down to Santa Monica just for Michael to do my hair! read more

I recently went in for highlights, and I couldn't be happier with the results. She perfectly matched the natural color, and they look so natural and vibrant. I highly recommend Panache to anyone looking for an excellent hairstylist who really cares about their clients. Quiet location, easily accessible parking. read more

Omg!! My new favorite salon in Santa Monica. I moved from Azusa in December, and I am too far to go to my old stylist. I found Panache through Yelp, and I couldn't be happier with my hair!! I went in for a shampoo and styling. I like to get my hair straightened for special occasions, and Margan was fantastic!! She made my hair look so soft, sleek, and stylish. She was so nice and paid attention to how I wanted my hair. When I called, they quoted me at $65+ depending on hair type, length, thickness, and it was $65 without tip. I am definitely bringing in my sister for a haircut and I will be coming back for a haircut soon! read more

This was the first time I've ever colored my hair and I was very nervous. I almost backed out. Luckily Margan was kind and super patient with me. She did such an incredible job! I LOVE MY HAIR! Those are words I never thought I'd say before Panache is a really bright, clean, beautiful salon. I can't wait to come back! read more

Margan is an absolutely AMAZING hair colorist!! She truly cares about your hair, takes her time and is meticulous! I was with my old colorist for over 30 years when the vax took him from us and he no longer can work...very sad. I went to someone else until I finally found Margan! What a hidden gem. If only everything in life could be so easy...you find someone amazing at what they do, one less problem to worry about. Also re: the dogs, this salon is blessedly dog friendly...Margan has a sweet, small dog, so does Michael and I am allowed to bring my big (but very friendly) dog in there. If you hate dogs you probably should find a different salon. read more

Best new salon. So clean and beautiful. The owner Margan, is amazing at cuts and colors as well as the best Keratin treatments ever!

I absolutely LOVE going to Panache salon. I actually followed by longtime stylist, Michael there (didn't love his previous salon) and so happy he landed there. It's bright and clean and beautiful! And I get to bring my dog with me (who is very well behaved). Michael has always been so dog friendly and it adds such a great touch to the whole salon experience. Highly recommend Panache and Michael Okin! read more

I went to Panache salon yesterday October 17. 2024. I was very disappointed. I was greeted with DOGS barking at me and everyone in the shop yelling at the dogs. I couldn't hear anyone was saying. I walked inside and smells like an Animal Shelter. I could not hear anyone and no one can hear me. They did not even realize I walked in. They were very unwelcoming. I was glad to leave at peace. I did not get a hair done at a business that is like an Animal Shelter. The dogs all over the shop barking making loud barking and grawling noises. read more

I have taken my kids to Panache for years, since it was on Montana Ave. Marjan, the owner, has always been kind, generous and friendly. When my kids were young, they dreaded getting their haircut, but Marjan always helped them through it with her sweet and lovely nature. Most importantly, she gives THE BEST haircuts. I won't take my son any place else! read more

Quick service. Not a major wait. Attentive hairdressers. Large & clean with nice music.

When I first walked in the salon it was like a dream come true. Margan, my stylist, welcomed me with open arms and greeted me. She led me to her cutting station where we discussed what I wanted done today and together we planned out a new hairstyle that would bring life back to my hair. As she started worked on my hair, I noticed myself getting more happy. Margan is such an amazing person because not only does she do great work but she also provides a safe and clean environment for her clients to get their hair done. read more

I got my hair highlighted and cut today at the outdoor studio - it was incredible!! It was so relaxing and I'm OBSESSED with my hair. I just moved to Santa Monica a month ago and was nervous about finding a great hair stylist, but I can safely say I found one! I will be going back :) read more

Buyer beware. Wow. Drove a half hour for my son's haircut that we booked online a week earlier and our selected, usual stylist, Margan, was not even in that day. Michael rescheduled us for two days later. I called to confirm the appointment for today, and Margan said there was no such appointment on her calendar on either day and to bring proof that I had made an online appointment. Really? Offered $10 off; 'we have overhead'. No thanks. I have overhead too. Plenty of stylists that will show up for a scheduled appointment. Bummed. read more

I've known Sir Michael OKIN longer than my first wife and my final child - and they love the new salon too! As a stylist OKIN is all parts artist, wizard and priest - somewhere between Picasso and Dolly Parton. A haircut that looks like magic from Day ONE to whenever the next appointment comes is why OKIN is The type of barber anyone can sit-down for. read more

Margan is an incredible hair stylist! I've been getting Brazilian blowouts from her for a number of years and her treatment actually works on my hair! I had searched for years in LA and couldn't find someone who had a product that was effective. She's so great that I followed her from her last hair studio to her new location on Santa Monica Blvd. I highly recommend if you're looking for someone for a keratin type treatment! read more

Margan is the best! she has such a special touch with hair cuts and color. definitely recommend.

After 12,000 miles of business travel, let's just say my hair was lookin' rough. I made a last minute appointment with Neena at Panache Coiffure for a wash and blowout before my husband's birthday party. To start: the wash and head massage felt incredible on my scalp. The best part of the entire experience was that she took her time. I never felt rushed. She used all the curlers, the clips, the special blowdrying tricks. And what happened when I asked for a voluminous blowout with some extra hhumphhhh? I got voluminous, sexy, humph-y hair! Hair is so personal, so it was meaningful to me that she actually listened and responded accordingly. I walked out of the salon feeling like a million dollars and had walked in feeling like a can of tuna. Thank you, Panache! read more
