[Review #751] 2023-037 After 20+ years with my hair stylist/colorist, Shirley, I haven't done much with my hair since her retirement about a decade ago. I've been butchering my hair myself & occasionally using packaged dyes since then. I don't have any girlfriends who uses a local stylist, & I used to trek to Sherman Oaks for my gal. I wanted someone closer for me, & possibly my teenage who's interested in hair fashion as well as color; though I'm holding off on that for a couple of years until she's in high school. I thought I would try Groupon for a trial run of my next permanent stylist so I'm not paying full price in case it doesn't work out. Salon Farouk popped up on my feed for a "one single process color with shampoo & blow-dry"... what caught my eye was the model's hair -- rich, gorgeous locks. While I needed a haircut more than I need my hair colored, I wouldn't mind covering my grays that somehow exploded almost overnight during COVID-19 lockdown. I paid for the deal in spring & promptly forgot about it until I received a reminder of its upcoming expiration in 2 weeks. I called in & spoke with a friendly voice, Norma, & booked my appointment just days before the expiration. Although Salon Farouk is located on busy PCH, they have a private lot so no parking issues here. The salon has plenty of stations & 3 hair washing stations; the space is clean, open, & bright. Stylist Norma Abdous was stationed by the door, finishing up on a blowout for her client. I got seated in a couple of mins., then perusing their color portfolio to figure out my color. I was debating on a mahogany, dark blue or purple (dark so it matches my black hair but a pop of color in the sun); I picked blue-black. I was covered with a cape, & Norma carefully greased my hairline around to my nape before painting my hair. She was about 2/3s done before running out of color. I'm kinda surprised since I've lost about 1/3 of my hair during lockdown. ＼(｀0´)／ Maybe I have more hair than what the rubber band shows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The painting took about 45-mins., which was fairly quick; my norm when I had more hair was ~75-mins. I guess the coloring process has advanced, only waited 30-mins. before getting shampooed. WARNING... do not wear earrings as they might come off during the wash! Mine did, luckily it was large enough to be caught by the drain catch. Semi-rookie mistake since it's been awhile I visited a hair salon. The color process with shampoo & blowout took almost 2 hours, way faster than my younger visits. Norma did a wonderful job in taking care of my grays. I'll be back to consult with her for my 13 YO after her current cut grows in, & when she's ready for the world of hair fashion. read more

Salon Farouk - Brown highlights in black hair! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

My stylist was Tiffany, I found her on Instagram. She mostly posts her color transformation but the only way you can get even vibrant color is if you know how to safely and even do bleach. So i trusted her with my virgin black hair. And she successfully took me back to my favorite blonde It took a couple hours but totally worth it. My hair is still strong and healthy and luscious. Disclaimer: my hair is very thick, handles bleach very well and i have had blonde before so I knew what to expect. Please do not book her thinking you will get the very same results, everyone's hair is different but she will work with you to discuss what your goals are, realistic expectations and time. Tiffany is sweet and was wonderful to talk with throughout the 5 hours I was in her chair. She doesn't double book herself so she can commit time and attention to each client. Highly recommend and expect to be going back for my touch ups :) read more

I had my first appointment at the salon today and Tiffany was my stylist. She is a great conversationalist, made some awesome recommendations that I said yes to, and I walked out of the salon with fantastic looking hair! I already made my follow up appointment with her in a couple of months and we have a new game plan for my style. Also found out from her Instagram that she is great at doing funky hair colors and rainbow/unicorn hair. I'm so excited I finally found a new stylist! I will be recommending her to all of my girlfriends and will most likely be taking my daughter to her for cuts, as well! PS. COVID protocols were always followed and the salon is very clean and spacious, great for the social distancing. read more

Started coming here like maybe in 2017? Came in for a Brazilian blowout from Norma. Stellar job, so I came back and asked about a cut an color and she referred me over to Tiffany. This is where I found my go to girl. She's the only one allowed to cut or color my hair from now on. If you are still an emo kid at heart, she got you. If you want beautifully bleached-HEALTHY hair, she got you. She gets just as excited over your hair vision as you and manifests it into a reality . She also does a beautiful job on Brazilian blow outs too. Ask for my girl Tiffany . read more

I found Farouk after a terrible experience at another salon that required color correction. Fast forward 15 years later and I'm still a client along with my 3 daughters! Farouk is the master of his craft! He's an expert colorist and creates the perfect and most natural looking highlights. What I like most is Farouk always pays attention to the health and condition of my hair and provides conditioning treatments in between coloring and Brazilian blow outs. My hair is healthy and soft and I always get compliments about my hair color and cuts! read more

Needed a quick blowout, and Tiffany didn't disappoint! Full service salon, and very friendly! Thanks Tiffany!

I made a mistake on my last review, and I apologize, I thought I pressed 5 stars , but I guess I only pressed 4,if there were 10 stars I would have pressed that. Salon Farouk is by far the best salon around . Everyone is unbelievably friendly, they make you feel like you're part of the family. As far as my hairstylist Tiffany, she is absolutely wonderful, she is so accommodating, always has a smile on her face, even with her mask on. Again I cannot say enough about Salon Farouk, everyone always has a smile on their face, I have never been to a salon where all the stylists love their job because they are treated with respect, and kind loving people. Thank you for being the lovely people you are. Believe me, you won't be disappointed in this clean, sanitized and respectfully covid free salon. My love and grateful thanks to you all. By the way, if I didn't say I highly recommend Salon Farouk, I am now! P.S....You will not be disappointed with any stylists there, I have watched everyone do hair, and all of them are very good, if you want a good colorist that specializes in all colors, mine happens to be purple , Tiffany is the best. read more

In response to the negative review that Brenda left, I was there when she stormed in and yelled at my stylist, Tiffany. She was 20 minutes late, and Tiffany was just finishing up my hair. Tiffany was very professional and went to go try and let her know how much longer it would be. The owner was also very professional and took her right away, but she kept yelling at him and being awful. I even heard her yelling at him from behind the store! On a MUCH lighter note, Tiffany made my hair BEAUTIFUL!!! My hair is so soft, vibrant, and it felt like it didn't take that long as a whole. I blinked and then BAM! My hair was green!! After the horrendous experience of seeing Brenda verbally harass both the owner and Tiffany, it didn't ruin my experience. I still left satisfied with my hair and would absolutely go back again to Tiffany! read more

Five stars all the way ! Please please please please see my girl "Tiffany". She has been the only person hair dresser that I have gone consecutively to see over the year.

Everything from cut, to color , to style, and very good venting session for all my girls that need a stress reliever. BUT BOYS SHE LOVES DOING ALL GUY CUT AND COLORS! So don't feel left out read more

I've been a client of Farouk's for many years. he and Norma are delightful , professional and fun. very honest in explaining what can and can't be done with certain type hair. Farouk treats all with the utmost respect. he's worked very hard building his business since immigrating to the US. Norma is the sweetest and an asset to the Salon! Highly recommend Salon Farouk. read more

Tiffany is the best! I had gotten her the first time through chance; I was supposed to see someone else. I was so happy that I have for the first time in my life been loyal to a stylist. I have liked some in the past, but I usually go where the wind blows. We have done some fun colors that I never thought I'd do. I finally took the plunge and have loved every change. I have gotten a Brazilian blowout, multiple colors, bleaching, multiple haircuts and have been happy with all. She always discusses her recommendations and goes over the prices before she starts anything, but it is a no pressure environment. I do feel like if you're going to splurge on your hair, take the recommendations and do it right to make it last longer and keep your hair healthier. But if I wanted to cut down the cost a bit, no pushback, no pressure. And, the salon clearly has protocol so I have always felt safe to go, even during this time. SO glad they were able to reopen! read more

I love them. I've been going to Norma for a few years now. She's amazing. I look forward to seeing her. I go in to get a Brazilian blowout. She's amazing at it. And it leaves my hair great. Helps with frizz and to calm your hair a bit. Strongly recommend Norma. She's so friendly read more

Tiffany has been cutting and coloring my hair for years and is the only one I trust. She gave me the confidence and made me feel secure enough to try a full head of pink hair. The color came out amazing and lasts forever and my hair is still super healthy. I was worried about bleaching my hair because it's naturally curly and Tiffany did an amazing job protecting my locks and my curl pattern. I can't wait to try more colors. read more

Salon Farouk - Rose gold hair. Thank you Tiffany! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Getting my hair cut here was something of an odd experience: I got to town badly needing a haircut and after a quick Yelp search I called and was given an appointment with Farouk the next morning. Yay! When I arrived he greeted me and introduced me to one of his other stylists and asked if it was okay if she cut my hair. Sure, no problem! There were good reviews of everybody here. Farouk then proceeded to get out his cell phone and talk to someone the entire time I was getting my hair cut. While sitting on the couch in front. To me this was entirely unprofessional, but to each his own. The awkwardness continued when one of the other stylists sat down behind the front desk and appeared to glare at my stylist the entire time. Or me, I'm not sure. But every time I looked up into the mirror this lady was staring one of us down. It was weird. Honestly the entire salon seemed on edge. Nobody seemed to want to acknowledge each other; I felt like I had walked into a room after a big fight. I was relieved when I could get out of there. The cut itself was fine, nothing spectacular but looked good and has grown out well. I would probably give the salon another chance were it not for the ambiance. I left feeling much more stressed out than when I arrived. read more

I had such a great experience with Tiffany Marie. She was very sweet and easy to talk to. I absolutely love the way my hair cut came out. I gave her ideas and she went all out and did and amazing job. Thank you Tiffany! 10/10 recommend and will come back again read more

Salon Farouk - Hair cut - Hair Stylists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I found a great groupon deal for cut, color and style and decided to promptly make an appt. I was about 10mins to my appt, and there was no one at the front desk to greet me..5-8mins later the owner asks if I've been helped and I say no. He quickly apologizes and introduces me to my stylist, Martin! We sit down and discuss what I want. He doesn't offer too many suggestions, but hands me a book of color options. Martin was straight to the point and not too talkative. He worked quickly through my hair and I must say he did A GREAT JOB! . He explained step by step what he was applying to my hair and told me how much he would take off. When he was styling and blow drying he did another check and trimmed off a bit more. I was more than satisfied with my results! read more

Salon Farouk - Hair by the wonderful Martin! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

The best salon for styling, color, highlights & friendly professional service! You will not be disappointed.

Good parking, very clean, nice, large room. Most importantly great haircuts from nice, friendly, owners.

WORSE SALON EXPERIENCE EVER!!! I booked an Appt. via Groupon weeks ago. I just arrived for my service...They saw I was a black and said oh our treatment won't get your hair straight. It will only take the freeze out. It won't help you. You should get your money back from Groupon. Do not go to this racist place!! They went out of their way to make sure I knew people with my texture of hair was not welcomed there. They said I should have told them about my hair on the phone and should have Goggled the service. My hair gets very straight with a blowout and flat iron. Surely Brazilian and or Keratin treatments work just fine on my hair texture...plus I've had a variety of those services before. But because of the owner and stylists negative attitude pre judging me based on my race, they instantly did what they did then when off to help others leaving me sitting there in shock. I was trying to figure out...oh my gosh..this appt has been scheduled for weeks. This was the one opening in my schedule for a hair appt. now I was humiliated and had to leave without getting my hair done, and my money was tied up in Groupon so no quick solution. This is no way to treat a customer! So learn to TREAT ALL CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME LEVEL OF RESPECT! STOP YOUR RACIST BEHAVIOR!!!! And stop false advertising! I'm fully educated. You are STILL making assumptions and trying to shift the blame onto your customer! At this point...Whatever dude read more

Amazing haircuts! I've been going to Farouk for 13 years! Always love how I look and feel when I leave. Thank you! read more

Salon Farouk - Hair Stylists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I would highly recommend this salon especially with cutting layers. They emphasize in techniques & they take their time in listening to what you want -- which I value the most! Farouk was on the spot when I showed him the hairstyle I wanted via pic. He is by far a pro in what he does. After spending trips to 4 different salons in Playa vista, manhattan and culver, they could never cut what I was asking for. Finally, I found a professional and I plan to make Farouk my permanent professional stylist! Thank You, Farouk! read more

What a AMAZING place I discovered with the help of my daughter. LUI is absolutely amazing. I had such a horrible experience before I came here. LUI fixed that really quick. He really made my hair BEAUTIFUL. I couldn't be happier. He not only ess able to accommodate me after my terrible experience but was so helpful in getting my hair back to where it should be. He also did a Brazilian blowout on my hair and it is so soft... I'm so thankful abd highly recommend Lui ........!!!! GO SEE LUI!!! read more

I have been coming to Farouk for over 11 years. He does the best cuts and color I have ever had. Norma does my Brazilian blowouts and I love them! I highly recommend them for any services. I come for blowouts too for special occasions and am always happy. Salon Farouk is the place to go for all your hair needs. My whole family comes here. Mom, sister, brother in law, niece, and nephew. He and Norma are the nicest people and I love supporting family businesses. read more

So happy I found this salon! I had my hair colored by a salon close by and I was really disappointed with the results. I called Salon Farouk as I saw that color correcting was one of their specialties. I was seen same day for a color consult and they also fit me in for the treatment same day! Both Farouk and his wife Norma are absolutely amazing and make you feel like family! Absolutely top notch customer service! It's exactly what you would expect a 5 star salon to be: amazing results, very reasonably priced, outstanding customer service! I have also had haircuts done by Tiffany and she is very talented and I couldn't be happier! So glad I found my forever salon! Thank you all, can't wait for my next visit!! read more

BRAZILIAN WITH NORMA WAS HANDS DOWN THE HIGHEST QUALITY I HAVE EVER HAD! I have gotten the Brazilian blowout done a bunch of different times by numerous different people and Norma's process was a game changer for me. She took her time (approx 2.5 hour) applied the product as if she was dying my hair a new color , parting and painting through each and every strand of hair. She also used the official Brazilian Blowout flat iron that was made by the company for stylist doing Brazilian. In addition to being a Certified Brazilian blowout specialist (keep in mind not all hairstylist are certified) She takes annual refresher courses put on by the Brazilian blowout company to keep current with updates and new products the company releases. Anyhow I found out all these great things by talking and getting to know Norma while she did my hair. I actually found a special she was having through a discount company but just called her directly and of course she honored the special which was Coincidently the best price I have ever paid for a blowout. Just refreshing to find someone in this day and age who is still willing to do an honest quality job . Needless to say , I will be back for my next blowout!! Thank you Norma ! read more

I looked at the reviews and wondered if this was the salon for me, an older lady. Yes, it was (and is!) Farouk is a master colorist, covers the gray and leaves my hair natural looking and healthy. And the haircut was great too. He actually LISTENS, and is an interesting and friendly person. Norma is lovely as well. Highly recommended! read more

They are so friendly and everyone is full of smiles, you can tell it's a great place to not only work but a wonderful experience. Tiffany does my hair, she gives me a great haircut and her coloring skills is impeccable. Tiffany is so easy to talk to and full of life. I always leave smiling. I have gotten so many compliments on my color, ( purple) people stop me all the time, no matter where I am, and I'm so surprised how many men of all ages tell me how much they love my hair. I'm a very happy camper. I love you Tiffany, thank you!!! read more

Farouk is terrific I am always grateful he can fit me in for appointments...even at the last minute. I started going to Farouk during Covid at the recommendation of a mutual friend. He actually started cutting my hair in his back yard salon while businesses were closed Best feedback I can give is my wife loves the way he cuts my hair 5 stars read more

Farouk is a master colorist and does an outstanding highlight! I have been going to him for years and even though I moved from the area, I drive over 2 hours to have him do my highlights. I appreciate his attention to detail, professionalism and I love visiting with him and his wife, Norma. Love Salon Farouk! read more

I saw Tiffany for a color. She was informative and gave me an amazing color! Saw Norma for my Brazilian blow out. She was great!!!!! I've been getting this treatment for ever! And I've never had someone be so gentle with my hair! My hair feel so healthy. Love them! They were all very informative and treated me like family. I will be back!! read more

It's been a month since I had a haircut and hair color in Farouk hair salon. And what can I say? I'm highly recommend this salon to everyone who want to receive a professional experience and feel happy with results! I'm absolutely satisfied with my new color and length of my hair. I also noticed that the quality of my hair improved. Farouk such a professional. He will set up a consultation for you before your appointment to make sure that he understand exactly what you want. And will pick the best solution personally for you! His wife will make an appointment for your convenience. Awesome customer service. Will definitely come back! Thank you Farouk! read more

I'm sincerely surprised that this place has 5 stars, but it's probably for the stylists work. Because the customer service of the owners pretty much lack etiquette and sincerity. First of all, I booked an appointment a week in advance. The owner's wife booked it. So I go to my appointment and they don't have me in their schedule. They kept going back and forth with me on this instead of honoring what I'm telling them. They make me wait 45 minutes and while I wait, the owner keeps telling me we usually charge for long or thick hair. Who does that? My hair cut, color, and blow out were nice, but I've had better. Go to The Loft instead in Manhattan Beach. read more
