I showed up today, after confirming that they were taking appointments. While restrictions have been lifted and people can be in the same place with social distancing guidelines, the receptionist sent me outside in 100 degree weather to wait. I'm not sure why, I had a mask on. I asked if I could use the restroom and she showed me where the key was. I have never been here before and found myself wandering around a hallway outside the salon, not having any idea where it was. I had just driven an hour to get here. So I used the restroom and then went out and sat in my car for 20 minutes and had to call to see when I could come in. THEN....when I was in the chair, another one of the clients walked in and just sat down. Not sure why the rules didn't apply to her. She wasn't asked to wait outside. I wouldn't come back here. I really loved the hairdresser Susie and I am thrilled with my hair, but to be asked to wait outside on a day where it's 100 degrees, when it's not busy and there are safe places to sit inside, is ridiculous. Then don't be open or let your clients know. Being sent to wait outside like a dog sucks. ------------------------------------------------- I'm deleting a star based on the salon response. No acknowledgement that they had others waiting and were OUT OF COMPLIANCE and no sincere apology, especially from the owner. I own two business and operate 3. Never would I talk to a customer, a new customer and not MY customer that way. Rude. read more

TODAY Me: Hi, I'm Annie. I'm from Yelp. Your name was all over it :-D Christine: Hi! That's so funny, lots of people are coming to me from Yelp! So look, I'm a cynic. After seeing her name in most of these posts, I had my own little conspiracy theory going on...but it's TRUE! She knows hair and has saved the day for me. (Through my prying I learned this is her 18th year doing hair!) I printed out pictures of a textured haircut to replace my overgrown, style-less look with. She looked at them and knew exactly what to do. I asked for the weight to be cut out of it, since I have so much freaking hair. I wanted a lighter feel, something I could tease with texture for a funky sexy look I asked her to keep my length, which is at the middle of my back. Girls, how many times have you asked this only to find all your hair chopped off in the end?? She TOTALLY saved my length, and managed to texture the hell out of it. It looks awesome. My haircut was $50 which is very reasonable! I will be back to her for sure. I hate to keep tooting the Christine horn because there's probably other great stylists there but check out the picture I added, she rocked! For all you girls that are traumatized by bad haircuts, try her out. The salon has high ceilings and is very classy. It's behind Marie Callendars on Tampa. Feelin' extra fly today 8-) read more

Christine is THE BEST hair stylest out there!! She not only does my hair but now she does everyones hair I know! And everyone has such a different look and style, I think she may have magic fingers or scissors!! I HIGHLY recommend her! Profiles also carries great Aveda products and pretty accesseries too. Thanks Christine!!!! See you soon read more

I have curly hair, and after reading the amazing reviews of Christine I thought I would try her out. I came in with my dated, limp, shapeless mop of curls and walked out with an AMAZING cut. The thing about Christine is that she has excellent style and taste. I could tell she knew exactly what needed to be done to revive my curls and told her to "go crazy" and do what she thought needed to be done. She told me she would flat iron my hair in the end in order to texturize it properly. I asked her if it would be ok to come back for some touch up snips if it turned out that the haircut wouldn't sit right curly later on. (some parts of my hair are curlier then others creating an uneven look with some cuts) With out a pause she agreed. Heavenly. I can't say how many "straight cuts" end up looking horrible on me later when the curls return. Turns out it's the best haircut I have had in years, styled curly or straight. I would recommend her to anyone. So relieved to finally have found a gem in the SFV. Going to tell all my friends about her. Good price too. Thank you Christine! p.s. they accept payment by cc but do not prefer to have tips paid that way. read more

Chose Profiles Salon because of the Yelp reviews (although I admit that some seemed too good to be true). I discovered that all the positive reviews were on point. Cheryl "got" me and - more importantly - she understood my hair! She gave me a soothing wash, a blow dry that didn't add to the frizzy tendencies of my hair, and she gave me the best salon style I've had; it was exactly what I wanted! And, extra thanks for the helpful tips so that I can achieve the same soft curls on my own. Thank you! I'll be back again. read more

Profiles Salon - Soft curls! - Hair Salons Near Me - Northridge, California

This salon was incredible. I was running a few minutes late and when I called, they had no problem. Once I got there, Cheryl greeted with a smile and comforting attitude (which made me feel better even though I was late). Cheryl was sure to ask exactly how I wanted my hair to be cut and reassured me that she is a conservative cutter (which alleviated some anxiety since I've had terrible hair experiences before). She was patient and very talkative, she also took her time with me. I really appreciated this because some stylists just want to get as many people in their chair as possible, but Cheryl was sure to be 100% focused on my wants and giving me a great salon experience. The salon was well kept, even though it was undergoing remodeling - it was nevertheless in great shape. Clean, bright and upbeat! Cheryl mentioned the next time I go in, it would look completely different. For a cut with a blow dry, it was $50 and I was there for about 2 hours. ***Be sure to bring cash/check for tipping*** It was a little difficult to find the salon with the parking; if you are driving from Business Center, you will make a left into the building lot (labeled 19350) but continue on the narrow street and you will drive past it, but once you park, at least you will know which suite it is! I would recommend this salon and Cheryl to anyone looking for a fun and fresh place to relax, be treated with respect and be surely taken care of. read more

Arpi is Amazing!!! She has worked with my hair for nearly four years and it is healthy, thick and strong. She does the most amazing hair color. read more

Profiles Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Northridge, California

Arpi is a lifesaver! I had the misfortune of trusting the coloring of my virgin, grizzled hair to a local stylist, who assured me of great results. She botched the color job, and I was referred to Arpi by my mother, whose color Arpi does beautifully. Arpi effected nothing short of alchemy on my hair color, taking it from abysmal to amazing! She's as sweet as they come. The assistants are also a pleasure. And the salon atmosphere was wonderful, very homey and friendly! Absolute thumbs-up for Arpi and Profiles! Highly recommended, especially to men who are looking to diminish or optimize their gray! read more

Cheryl was on-time, professional, and a good listener -- about hair and in general. Parking is easy. Reasonable (for the SFV) prices. I'll return. Okay, it's been a month since I wrote the above review (but forgot to post it). Went back and felt well taken care of. Just know that things don't move fast around there...need to leave time for hair color, I know, but more than two hours (which did not include a cut or a blow dry??) I'm planning to return a third time...and will update as relevant. read more

I month ago a paid a lot at a different salon to get my hair done and it didn't come out like I had envisioned. I thought I would grow to like it but decided I couldn't go walking around unhappy about my hair. So I did a yelp search and found Profiles. Everyone on here raves about Christine so I asked for her but she was not available. I decided to give it a try anyway and scheduled with Alfred. Alfred did a superb job! My hair came out just like I wanted! He listened to my concerns and wants and got it perfect! I will definitely go back. I cannot tell you how many stylists have not gotten the color I wanted and some of them have even given me rationales for why it can't be done. Well, Alfred proved them wrong. I also liked that he didn't try to push products on me like most other places do. The only reason this place didn't get 5 stars from me was because the receptionist could take more ownership of her post. As the face of the salon and person 1st time clients like myself come into contact with initially, it would be great if she welcomed you and made you feel comfortable. It was another stylist, who noticed this was not done, that offered me coffee, magazines, and showed me where to get changed. Also, it would be helpful for the salon to indicate cash tips only on the website. They charged it for me as a first time customer but i am worried Alfred may not see it for a while as the receptionist mentioned something about taxes. read more

I stumbled onto this place randomly and I've been hooked ever since. Albert is AMAZING! He's such a great personality and the first time I went to him I felt like he'd been doing my hair forever! Prices are more than reasonable and you get the feeling that most of the clients have been coming here for awhile. I love Profiles. read more

Love this salon and love Arpi!! Truly talented, and extremely sweet! I've been going to her for years! She takes the time to listen to what her clients want and she always delivers. The whole staff is very sweet, from the receptionist to the other stylists. Just an all over, really good vibe!! read more

I used to live in Northridge but now live in the IE but have family in the SFV so as often as I visit, when I need a haircut I always make it a point to go to Profiles. Having been a client for years, Arpi understands my needs as far as a haircut goes. If you cut one side of my hair too short it comes out looking like I stuck my finger in a light socket. Having said that, I never need to worry about how my hair will come out because I can honestly say that I have never received a bad haircut at Profiles. If you're looking for a professional, you've come to the right place! read more

Best salon in the valley! Arpi the owner is very nice, and Alfred is not just a stylist, but a friend!! Not just leaving me with awesome hair, but listens to all my problems!!! I would recommend Profiles Hair Salon to everyone! read more

Ban does my highlights and haircut! She does amazing work! I would highly recommend ban, even for a blow dry! I don't trust just anyone with my hair. I am so happy with my color!! Go to Ban! read more

Cheryl did a great job cutting my hair. I usually hate getting new hair cuts because sometimes stylists want to cut my hair the way they want to but Cheryl listened and asked questions throughout the process. She did exactly what I wanted. Didn't seem to get offended when I asked her to touch up here and there. Will come back and refer. read more

This salon is so cute! I love their decor - the cafe tables in the waiting area are adorable! I made an appointment to see Cheryl and she did a wonderful job cutting my hair. I'll definitely be going back to her. I was so happy that I referred her to my husband as well. She gave him the best cut he's had in years! Go see Cheryl! read more

I followed my stylist Janine Leskowitz to Profiles. She's awesome and deserved to make a move to a clean, comfortable, classy place. Who knew this little gem was sitting in Northridge next to Marie Calendar's? Janine is a color genius (goddess? I think she'd enjoy that title) and does amazing hair cuts. I love the relaxing atmosphere, even when the salon full. I always feel welcomed and appreciated. Keep it up, Profiles! Janine, you're the best! read more

Nice salon and the people were nice but the worst haircut I've ever had. It was a disaster. I requested someone who knows curly hair and I was referred to the owner. It turned out terrible and took months to grow out. Update- just now seeing owners response. Sorry and no offense but indeed you cut my hair and yes, it was awful. I did not mention your name because I didn't remember it. read more

I have naturally curly hair that has a mind of its own and used to do whatever I *didn't* want it to do. Not anymore! Christine is AMAZING and has tamed the wild locks on my head. I've been going to her for years and now visit about once every six weeks for color and a trim. I've recommended her to friends who all loved her work, and I would *highly* recommend her to anyone with curly hair. read more

Don't know why we've never reviewed this spot.. My fiancé has been going to Darlene for years now for cuts and color. She was actually the first one she went to when she first decided to go blonde (from dark-dark brown). Dar could see that she was a bit hesitant/scared about such a drastic change, that she recommended she highlight her hair first, to see if blonde is really something she'd be happy with... Anyway long story short, that fist "blonde" job was maybe three years ago, her most recent was this past Saturday and she still feels as happy as she did the first time she went to Dar! So much so, that this last time she went was actually a surprise, but she knew she was in great hands so she told her to just "do what she thought she needed". And Dar did just that and gave her a great new look that my fiancée loves and would not have came up with on her own. This is one service I don't mind paying for! The salon itself is a beautiful place.. A little hard to find, perhaps, for first timers but it's nothing a little call for directions can't fix! read more

I've had three haircuts in the past year and the last one was with Profiles. Alfred was my stylist and I must admit that I was apprehensive at first. If you ever just saw him on the street, you wouldn't think he did women's hair. Despite any superficial doubts you may have about him though, he has given me the best haircut I have ever had in my life. I came in with some pictures and he copied them pretty accurately. From there he made sure to take into consideration any other additional thoughts I had and by the end of the session I was really happy. To be honest, for the cleanly and charming environment that the store provides and the quality of service, I didn't think they were overpriced at all. I will be going back for any future cuts! read more

Um Susie is the best. She is literally so skilled with highlights and balayage. She created such a beautiful, natural, blended look. Her cuts are pretty sweet too. I like when she does dry cuts because she can really see how my hair falls when it's dry. There have been so many people I know that have referred me to her. I am so glad I gave her a try and impressed every time I go. read more

Susie is the BEST hair stylist ever!! She has been doing my hair for over 15 years.... salon is always clean with friendly staff!!! No complaints! read more

I called a week ago to make an appointment some lady said I wasn't allowed to they were busy. So I called again 2 days later same thing. I called again today to said if I could make an appointment or consultation I was just told the price a color would be and she hung up. Safe to say I need to find someone and somewhere else to so my hair read more

I havent had a facial in a while and was referred to Andrea by a friend. She has the best looking skin I've ever seen!!! Definetly having her touch my face. Considering I have Acne im always insecure about anyone looking at my face let alone touching. . She was so easy going and took care of all my problematic areas. She has a client for life. I cant wait til the next facial. Thank you Andrea!!! read more

Jenn has been, hands down, the best professional hair dresser that has ever colored, cut and styled my curly looooong hair!! Weather I wear my hair up, down, straight or curly it always looks and handles great. She knows what she's doing. I'd never go anywhere else...she's the BEST! She is worth the drive. And...if you need your eyebrows waxed or shaped (or anywhere else waxed) she knows what she's doing. Flawless! Great super clean salon too! read more

i went to profiles for the first time yesterday to get the keratin treatment & had a great experience. Cheryl did a great job she was very sweet, professional & thorough. The entire staff were really nice & the salon is very clean. Cheryl also trimmed my bangs which is always scary but she did exactly what i wanted. i would definitely go back there even though they are a little bit expensive but at least you get your moneys worth! read more

I had my hair done by Cheryl! She is sweet and most importantly she is a good stylist. I wasn't too sure how i wanted my hair cut but i did know what i wanted my hair to accomplish once i styled it. Cheryl right away knew what she needed to do to my hair. I have long hair and she was able to cut my hair and still let me keep my length! She's wonderful!!!! The salon was very clean and organized. The only reason i didn't give them 5 stars was due to the price! I'm used to paying $20 for hair cuts at other places, but at this piece you truly get what you pay for! read more

If you are in need of an amazing stylist and a place where you will feel welcomed- this is the place! Darlene is amazing, just had my hair did and I feel like a million bucks! I love her so much and she is soo talented! You can trust she will do an amazing job and you'll feel like you just spent some time with a old friend.. read more

Cheryl is a wonderful hairstylist. I've been going to her for approximately one year. If you want to have a great haircut she's the one. I highly recommend her. Larry read more

I was getting ready to donate my hair and was so nervous before the big cut. I made an appointment same day with Cheryl and am so happy that I did. My hair looks great! She took the time to talk to me about exactly what I wanted before she made the cut. Cheryl did a great job, she took her time and made sure everything looked perfect. I will definitely be back in six weeks. If you want your stylist to listen to you and use her professional knowledge and skill to give you a great cut go see Cheryl. Salon Note: The salon was very nice, and everyone was super friendly from the minute I walked in. They also carry a lot of cute accessories my mom couldn't resist while I got my hair done. Great place, very professional, highly recommended! read more

My Wife and I are loyal customers to Farah. My Wife has some health issues so she is not always able to make her scheduled appointments. We always call and Farah is very understanding. Farah always does a superb job on my hair and my Wife is always happy with her color, cut and style. We consider her a good friend and I certainly recommend her. read more

I moved to LA about 2 years ago and for the first year had the worst luck trying to find a quality salon with competent stylists in the Valley. Then I finally found Profiles. Now I've been going for almost a year and have been very satisfied every time. It is a very nice atmosphere and everyone there is friendly. My main stylist is Cheryl...who has given me three cuts, one highlight and actually did my updo for my wedding: All of which were perfect. I have had a haircut by Alfred as well, who is quite exceptional as well. Profiles has my business for good! read more

Alfred is amazing! I just had too much fun while I was getting my hair done. And He did a perfect job!

A co-worker recently recommended Christine and the reviews on YELP supported the claim! I had my hair colored and cut this past weekend by her, and I was extremely pleased. Christine has a warm aura about her! She listened attentively, and shared her vision for what is now a satisfied client! read more

I went there for the first time last weekend to get my hair dyed and cut. Cheryl did a great job. I absolutely love the color and the cut is exactly what I wanted. I have very thick, wavy and damaged hair and she knew exactly how to handle it. The salon is very clean and nice. The only negative for me is the price, I am not used to paying so much for hair, however, when comparing with other salons in the area, it was reasonable. Altogether, my services were $115 (without tip). Cheryl really took her time with my hair and made sure to get it right. I really appreciated her wanting her work to be perfect. So with the amount of time and effort that was put into it, I would definitely go back. read more

Cheryl cut my hair a couple months ago and she was so great. She really listened to what I wanted, and the cut came out perfectly. I usually go into haircuts expecting to be a little disappointed, because it's difficult to be exactly on the same page, but somehow she knew intuitively what I wanted after very little explaining. And on top of everything, she's just a super sweet and friendly person! Thanks again! read more

Profiles is a wonderful place - a diamond in the rough Valley. I usually don't enjoy getting my hair cut - I have thick, curly hair and very damaged from the sun and seawater. I probably go to a salon 1-2 times a year so it can be embarrassing to show up to someone and say "FIX THIS PLEASE". I moved to the Valley a few years ago and found this place via YELP - I haven't gone anywhere since. I have had 3 different people there and each of them has done a wonderful job. They don't pressure you to buy products, upsell their service, gossip, ask about boys, or make comments like "a girl has to choose between her tennis shoes and high heels." They are very friendly people and I've recommended to my friends with similar hair types - they've all enjoyed their experiences. My most recent experience was with Cheryl - she was very warm, did exactly what I wanted, and knew exactly how to tame my hair. We had great conversations! She cut my hair and two of my friends in the same evening. She didn't rush through anyone, she gave us all different looks, and was so sweet to us. I highly recommend this place to all hair types and warm atmosphere. I do request that they stop using styrofoam cups though.... consider other less wasteful products to serve to customers. read more

Great experience. Saw Cheryl for a haircut and she was great. Listened to what I had to say and I even showed her a picture of what I was looking for. She took her time and gave me a haircut that was pretty close to the picture. Overall great experience, really clean salon, will definitely be going back. read more
