If I could I would give this place zero stars. I went in with high hopes to get my hair cut short. My hair dresser was Nayeli and she looked about 20 years old. When I showed up I was expecting to have my hair cut by Samatha as that's who I was originally booked with via confirmation text. That wasn't a big deal so I thought.. I explained to nayeli what kind of cut I wanted as well as the dye of my money pieces not to forget I showed her pictures as well. She first cut my hair dry to a perfect length originally then she began to dye my money pieces I told her specifically I wanted them to the root which she did not do also completely missed a portion of my hair in the front. I came in with my hair boxed dye because I haven't got it professionally done since the start of Covid so I completely understood that my hair wouldn't lift as much as I hoped the first time. But then she took me to the sink and probably left me in there unattended for half hour the only reason she came back to wash my hair out from letting it tone a little bit was because my aunt who was with me told her to. She came back then told me we were gonna trim my hair and I would be all set. I told her okay I did not want my hair to be blow dried because I was already so upset with the dye and she goes on to say " well it's my work at the end of the day so I would like to finish" and that's when I was in complete shock and she began to chop and chop my hair to almost a pixie cut which is what I DID NOT WANT. Then her hands began to shake as she realized that I was becoming more upset she went on to say " if you have a problem with the cut you can come back and have it fixed" and I was nearly in tears by then ignoring her. I told her it was much shorter than I asked for she then said " well at least hair grows back". After that I ended up walking out of the salon looking like Willy Wonka LITERALLY. I ended getting my money refunded which was the least she could do after her unprofessional comments. Moral of the story is even though you are a licensed stylist does NOT mean you should be doing hair. I would never recommend anyone to go to Nayeli so save yourself before it's too late read more

I got my hair done by Angela for the first time last week and it was an awesome experience! I just moved here and was nervous about getting my hair done by someone new, but I can't recommend Angela enough. I had a partial with neutral blonde babylights and Angela transformed my tired hair into a mane of silvery babylights. She was also super easy to chat with, checked in to make sure everything was exactly what I wanted, and gave the most amazing scalp massage! Can't wait to go back :) read more

I have been going to Salon Cheval for about 1 year and 3 months now. The place is modern and airy. lots of open space. Usually I dont have to wait more than a few minutes and they always have coffee, water and sometimes cookies or breads. Thwrw is a small table for kids to sit and be occupied while mom get their hair done. I, My daughter, grandson and granddaughter all get our hair done by Angela. She is a doll! She always has helpful suggestions and is not afraid to tell me if she thinks something will not look good. I originally went to her only for a cut, but when i found how reasonable the color treatments are i was sold! i went from black to almost blond from October to March. I will be back to go platinum. I have asked other hairdressers foe this before and not one would even consider it. Thanks Angela for being my go to gal! read more

I have been going to this salon for a little while now ( a year or so) and i really think it is a marvel to have a salon that both men AND women go to (obviously there are tons of unisex salons. in fact, I don't thnk i have ever heard of a salon that isn't unisex.) and feel comfortable. great staff. fun, friendly atmosphere. this is the kind of place where it's a great spot for locals, but if you are in the area, and you stop by, they will make you feel right at home. read more

I had the best experience with Lindsey Madsen! I came in to fix my hair and she did so much more then that! You really can tell the difference from someone that knows how to do hair and someone that enjoy her clients and becomes their solution and at the same time building trust which is definitely harder, but it all came so easy for Lindsey! Again thank you so much! read more

If I could give a zero, i would. I thought they did walk-ins, which they do, but apparently the people standing around talking were to busy to cut my hair.... Will never give them by business again... read more

Don't go here. My best friend always hypes this place up I decided to try it and I regret it 100%. They botched tf out of my hair. I asked for long layers and the stylist did the complete opposite. I have a million different layers in my hair I look like a scene girl. Definitely need to order extensions to try to cover this shit up read more

Amazing amazing amazing. All the stylists are great with clients and know their services.

Elise did my hair Exactly how I wanted it! This was my first time going to her and she did awesome I highly recommend her. She left my hair feeling extremely healthy! She also knows what she is talking about when it comes to your hair Also, staff is super nice and welcoming! A+++ read more

Came here for the first time yesterday and saw Angela and I will definitely be back!! I asked for a balayage but had never really had my hair lightened before (My hair is dark brown) so she sat down and explained everything to me before getting to work. I was definitely nervous but so excited. She even told me how my hair would lighten based on the color of my eyes! What really blew me away was that when she went to rinse my hair she gave me the most RELAXING head massage of my life. I could have fallen asleep right there it was incredible. My hair came out flawless too, it has never looked this good. Angela is a color wizard I swear. THANKS ANGELA!! - In cases you missed the hint go see Angela, she'll rock your hair world - read more

GREAT experience, amazing quality work. Elise is great, she knows exactly what you're looking for and does an amazing job! read more

Salon Cheval is by far one of the best salons I have ever been to! Great space, great stylists, great prices!

If you want to walk out of the salon looking fabulous, this is your salon. Samantha is very professional and knew what would look good without an explanation from me. I had brassy highlights and she covered them with a warm caramel color and covered my grays without a hitch! She offered me coffee or water even though I had my own. Samantha's head/neck massage almost put me to sleep. Ive already made an appointment for next month. read more

Salon Cheval - Samantha cut and colored my hair to perfection! I'm definitely going back! - Hair Salons Near Me - Whittier, California

I LOVE this salon. I always get my hair cut by Samantha, she is AMAZING. Every time I get my hair cut I get exactly what I want. Samantha is super friendly and amazing at her job, I highly recommend going to her. I live in SF and will wait until I can come down to get my cut here. The salon itself has parking in the back, and a very upbeat environment. They have water, a keurig, and snacks. Come here!! read more

Oscar was 30 minutes late and never apologized. I asked for highlights and a dark gray color and cut. He said I would have shiny silver highlights "as the color faded." Instead, I got overly bleached hair with a brassy brown and NO highlights. The cut was almost exactly what I said I didn't want. I paid $200 to get my hair crispy and the wrong color -- really, the worst salon experience I've ever had. read more

The staff here is very professional. I love the feel of this place. It is very open and very modern. I Drive pretty far to get here and it's totally worth it. My stylus is Diana and I absolutely love her. I have never left this place feeling that my hair didn't come out exactly the way I thought it would. read more

This was my first visit to Salon Cheval and I was very impressed. The outside is totally deceiving. It looks like it would be small and probably not too nice, but once you walk in, it's a totally different story. The place is huge...very open with plenty of space between each station. The feel if very relaxed but still modern and "hip." I gave this place 5 stars not because of the actual building itself, but because of the service i received. I made an appointment with Dianna and she was great. I wasn't too sure as the to the style i wanted, all I knew is that I wanted something different (maybe a little bit lighter in color and a tiny bit short in length). We went over colors and she actually showed me pieces of colored hair. That was great because she placed them by my face to see which colors would complement me best. Once we got the colors down, we went over pictures of different haircut styles. She then offered me a cup coffee and a declisous pastry and we begun. About 2 and a half hours later, I had great color and a very nice cut. I am so glad that I went to her. I will for sure be going back to her again. read more

I have been going to Salon Cheval for over two years now. I have made the transitions of having black brown hair to now having almost golden blond. I was a super scary decision to make at first and especially thinking about who would I ever let touch my hair. I was recommended Diana through family and since going to her I have not gone anywhere else and I have trusted no one else with my hair. Diana is absolutely amazing and I am beyond happy with the results I have gotten. No only are the stylist great but the salon itself is super cute and really clean inside. Everyone there at the salon is very nice and inviting, i have not run into anyone who seems mean. I have had all great experiences at Salon Cheval and I would definitely recommend other people to come here. read more

When I called to make an appointment for hair and makeup for my wedding day, I asked how much it would cost. The receptionist told me $55 for hair and makeup, unless I decided not to get false eyelashes - then it would be $50. I said, "It's the same price for the practice run and the day of the wedding?" because I had assumed it would be cheaper for the practice run. She said yes. I said okay. I made appointments for the practice run and the wedding day. I'm not going to write the woman's name who did my hair and makeup, because she was really nice. I liked her as a person. However: 1. She tried to talk me out of teasing my hair so it would have volume at the crown, and I had to ask her to do it several times before she would. When she finally did, it came out lopsided. I thought the reason she was resistant to it was that she personally thinks teased hair looks bad, but after I see how it came out, maybe she's resistant to it because it's hard for her to do. 2. I told her my wedding was going to be outdoors in the afternoon and stressed it needed to look good in natural sunlight. When I walked out of the salon and looked in the mirror, my face was a noticeably darker shade than my neck and chest. 3. In the car on the way home I noticed my eyeliner was smudged, even though I hadn't touched my eyes. It smudged from me moving my face. I'd expect a makeup artist to use smudge-proof eyeliner for a wedding. 4. In the car on the way home I noticed the false eyelashes were placed too high on my eyelids. Imagine a row of false lashes, then a gap, then my real eyelashes. I was really unhappy with the price bait-and-switch, so when I called to cancel my wedding day appointment, I told the receptionist about how frustrated I was about the unclear pricing. She defended herself by saying the prices are listed in the salon and on the website. I told her I believed the receptionist when she told me it was $55 for hair and makeup, so I did not separately look up the price to verify that the receptionist was telling me the truth. That's not something I should have to do. If EACH service costs a certain amount, the way to communicate that is by using the word EACH. If BOTH services cost one amount, the way to communicate that is by using the word AND. "Hair AND makeup for $55" means BOTH for $55. The receptionist should have said, "Hair and makeup EACH cost $55, unless you don't get false eyelashes, and then the makeup is $50." I'm disappointed I wasted an afternoon and over $100. read more

I went for the first time. Loved every moment! Samantha cut my hair and she did such a good job. I loved her customer service. I was able to share how I wanted my hair and showed her some images. She cut and styled my hair. What I loved about her was that she asked how I felt about my hair. I know it sounds funny but it's actually a really good question that I've never been asked at any salon I've been too. read more

I, like most people am very protective of my hair. I hate when I go to a salon and it seems like the stylist are not listening to what I want. I am very pleased that this was not the case at Cheval. I had an appointment with Cydnee and she was awesome! She really listened, and gave me the perfect cut for my lifestyle and routine. Just what I wanted,and with little matinence ;) I will definitely be back to Cydnee, she is skilled and kind. read more

I found this place by reading these reviews on here so I have to be honest. I scheduled an appointment which included a hair cut. At the end of my process, I was told there was no time for the cut because my application took longer than expected?? I felt bad but who has the time for another day to come back in and sit for another appointment. I was going to have a brand new color on top of out grown, out layered hair? I ended up getting the cut but I felt like there was tension after that.. The next client came in for their appt. And it was a simple haircut also? I spent nearly $200 for my services and $50 of that was for this haircut. My hair was simply blow dried straight by someone else all together. I'm a little disappointed. This was not cheap visit what so ever and I was expecting a little more from a higher end salon. I don't think I will be back. read more

I've never been the type of guy to come to a salon to get my haircut, but I was recommended this place by a friend so I decided to check it out. The first thing I noticed about Salon Cheval was its style, it has a hip feel with a cool mix of modern and vintage decor. Well to the haircut...my stylist was Sheila and to get to the point, she was awesome! She knew exactly what I was going for and gave me the best haircut I ever had. She is personable and funny and made me feel real relaxed in the chair. Throw in a wash and some advice on hair product and this was easily the best haircut experience I ever had. I definitely recommend Salon Cheval and Sheila to anyone looking for a great haircut! read more

I've been going back to Oscar for about a year and a half now! He did balayage last January and it looked natural and the color was beautiful. It's faded out a bit but has maintained a really good color. He's also awesome with styling my hair, even with it being so long! Definitely recommend this salon as a whole and Oscar. They said they would be moving in a few weeks so keep an eyes out for that read more

Dianna is a miracle worker. I went to Salon Cheval after a disastrous experience at another hair place where the lady literally cut my hair into two or three tiers (her idea of layering, I guess). I went in expecting that my hairdresser would have to cut my hair even shorter to even out the horrible "layers" and start all over. But Dianna somehow worked her magic, keeping my hair long while softening the effect of the tiers. I can't believe my hair came out this great. Thanks so much Dianna! read more

This place is awesome! Really a comfortable atmosphere with nice people. Lauren is the best and always does such a great job with my hair! ‍

I've been coming here for almost a year now. Cydnee is the stylist I see. She does a great job with my hair. A friend of mine sees the owner here for her hair and is always pleased with her service. What I like about this place is that they take a lot of care and time with my hair. I really appreciate that. Cydness also gave me some good tips too regarding how to manage and style my hair. Parking is behind the building and accessible off of Central or if you go through the US Bank parking lot. read more

I've been growing my hair out for 2 years now but decided it was time to chop it off a couple days ago. I made my appointment online and it was confirmed within a few minutes. Place is cute, staff was friendly and ohh they have coffee. Which is always a plus. Got my hair cut by Lindsey and loved it. It's a little pricey but worth it. read more

Love this place! I moved to Whittier a few years ago and have bounced around a few salons trying to find the right fit. I found a home at Salon Cheval. I've had a few appointments with Elise and it's been a great experience every time. Elise takes the time to find out what you really want and then delivers 100%, giving hair tips and girl talk along the way. Good vibes, warm welcome, GREAT haircut, competitive prices - need I say more? Elise will make you look and feel beautiful. What are you waiting for?? read more

This was my first trip to Salon Chavel. As a man, I'm always skeptical about getting a haircut at a salon and not a barber shop. But I can tell you that I had a wonderful experience! My haircut was done by a new stylist name Gia. She was very professional and made sure she understood what I was looking for, I can be very picky. On top of the atmosphere, getting my hair washed before a haircut was something I'm not used to at a barber shop but I really liked it! My haircut was perfect and the cherry on top was introduced me to a new hair paste that I really liked! 5 stars Gia and Salon Chavel! You have a loyal customer in me. read more

I love Vanessa at Salon Cheval. I changed stylist/salons since my haircut was always the same, even though I would bring different pictures. When I first met Vanessa, she was friendly and talked to me about my hair type, style I wanted, etc. I was in hair heaven. Not only did Vanessa do my hair for my wedding, she managed to help me achieve a lighter color on my long, thick dark brown hair. It looked amazing and healthy considering she had to strip my color off. She took her time and researched how to do this without damaging my hair. It was beautiful. I am now back to my natural hair color and with the aid of Vanessa I have managed to keep it healthy and long. The salon itself is very friendly and professional. Great atmosphere for a salon. read more

Elise beautifully colors hair. If you ask her, she will share her expertise on the molecular structure of hair color types/ calibers (which I found 'tres interesant'). I've come to this welcoming salon over the years and have been helped by many stylists, from hair cuts, to updos, and of course, color. I am always able to get in to see a stylist on time, per my time needs, and get what I need done in a decent time frame. These things are important, because this hasn't been the case for me at other salons, where a stylist may be over scheduling several clients at a time and generally unavailable when I need them. Right now I'm sporting black hair and bangs with long straight hair. In time, I will pick Elise's brain for new suggestions, I'm sure. For now, I'm rocking the do! read more
