I came in yesterday to get a balayage done on my HEALTHY hair yesterday and within 5 hours JESSICA completely MELTED my hair OFF!! Started off the consultation explaining my hair had been bleached once before and I went to a salon to dye it black. **Back story I did the bleach in October dyed it black in November and have been letting it fade out since then.** I explained all of this to JESSICA THE OWNER OF THE SALON and she assured me she would be able to do a balayage and take me to blonde. SO I TRUSTED EXACTLY WHAT SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS GOING TO DO. She started sectioning and applying bleach on my hair at 2:30 and past 4 pm I have pictures of my hair still covered in bleach sitting in the chair as she added more heat to my hair!! SHE LEFT THE BLEACH ON FOR 2 hours!! This is where my hair started to fall out. I began taking pictures and panicking. I started taking pictures of my hair down the drain in the sink and began HOPING and PRAYING my hair wasn't damaged. Before taking me to the chair she told me "I'm going to need to start treatment on my hair immediately" and TRIED to promote her promo code to use. (I'm a content creator) and then told me "when I shower don't pull at my hair...." Now she's taking me to the chair SHE TOLD ME "don't look in the mirror because I don't want you looking at the color yet because it's not the color yet." HIDING MY HAIR HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF!!! I looked down at the ground to CLUMPS of my hair GUMMY on the floor and as she started cutting and brushing my hair just melting in her hands and all over me. At this point I needed to see it and she was trying to blow it out but my 24 inch hair had been melted away to my shoulders. I CRIED "WHERE DID MY HAIR GO?" To her reply " what do you mean I didn't cut a lot off." I told her to stop working on my hair and she told me no payment for the damage and breakage she caused to my hair. I went home devastated and my hair is falling out and breaking. I HAD BEEN GROWING MY HAIR OUT FOR 3 years!! And all of the progress I had been having with my hair completely gone. My hair is unevenly all around my head... my ENTIRE HEAD is unevenly patchy and EVERY PART SHE BLEACHED IS GONE!!! My hair isn't even blond it's patchy brown!! The damage to my hair is so extreme that I'm going to be reaching out to the California board of barbering and cosmetology and Better business bureau. I WILL BE PRESSING CHARGES! read more

PLEASE BEWARE!! OF THIS SALON!!If I could give 0 stars I absolutely would. I had the displeasure of going into this salon and getting my hair BURNT OFF. The stylist should've communicated the damages and tried to prevent this but NO! Instead she took it upon herself to completely fuck up my hair TWO WEEKS before my birthday. I will sue this lady and I hope her cosmetology license gets revoked. I am in shambles and nobody should ever feel this way! Absolutely HORRIBLE !!! read more

Ok so I followed her on Instagram for a while before making an appt because a friend went to her and she did not disappoint!!! Mind you it's a small salon and I wasn't familiar with the area I was supposed to be there at 3pm I told her I was going to be there earlier but of course got lost and arrived @3:30 she was not upset she was so sweet and we discussed my haircut and style before anything she gave me the price upfront she takes cash/Zelle cards and she did such a beautiful job I seriously love my hair it was damaged and dry before and she made it look so beautiful and healthy!! Will definitely keep going to her she does amazing work!! read more

Im not one to leave so many reviews I'm not upset either . The reason I'm writing is to share my experience . I'm a stay at home mom and haven't gone out much anymore or gone to a salon anymore and I decided I wanna start trying again to keep up with nails and hair. My friend called before I came to ask about how much it would be for ombré hair . We sent pictures of our hair she said around 160 . She said depending how long our hair was maybe a bit more or less. So I get there and she is very friendly and takes me in right away she helped choose a color and I agreed. Very excited I sit down she's getting her tools she said she has to add 30 more for a treatment she was gonna add on the dye. She asked if it was fine I said umm she's like u need it it's great for your hair . I pretty much felt like I had no choice and agreed. I ask so how much is my total with that treatment she said 260! When in my head it was 160 + 30. By then she's preparing everything so I feel embarrassed to up and leave. I text my friend the price and she decided not to show up to her appointment because that was way more then we were told. This is the owner of the shop too. Well I'm getting my hair bleached I'm put in the chair with the heater on my head not sure what it's called while she had lunch. The heater turns off like 10 min later she comes washed my hair and said your hair was starting to break we took it off right in time . I have no idea what breaking hair was. So she dyes it brushes it and does Some waves it looks nice took pictures of it . I'm about to pay and she brings me all these products to buy from her. I'm like um how much ? She's like 20 38 and some other price I can't remember . I was like which one do I need most I don't have that much money as it was I went thinking I was paying 160 turns into 260 plus 30 so I'm at 290 . She hesitates a bit said I guess this one u Can come back for the rest. It was 20 so I paid 310 plus tip because I believe in tipping. I think like 15-20 tip. I got so many compliments my friend said I should thank her because it looked so nice I was happy but felt a little ripped off. But hey I never go to a salon I was like ok fine so I thanked her on Instagram. No one ever knew how much I paid . So my hair is looking good that day I go out and I'm happy the next morning I shower and see all the damage that was done . My hair was fried and still is . My hair has never been as messed up and damaged as it is now . It feels like a Dolls hair really hard and dead. It's horrible! I paid 330 dollars to mess up my hair . I hate it ! Never in my life has my hair been this way . I wanna cut all the damaged hair off but I would end up with a mans hair cut . So now imma wait for it to grow out more so when I cut it then it won't be so short. It was a waste of money for me this is my experience. So 2 weeks later I decided to use the shampoo I bought from her and it isn't even the same color ! So the shampoo died my hair silver when my hair was ash! I had some silver streaks. I didn't even know there was hair dye shampoo. But this wasn't explained to me. The girl who did this was the owner and I think she was just in a hurry. But if someone goes to your shop and you see they're a little confused and clueless about hair you shouldn't take advantage of them . Hey and say I paid 320 thinking I was gonna Pay 160 ok fine! But don't mess up my hair! I know she knew my hair was done for I mean she's the expert she's the one with a salon for years now. If you messed up it's fine! Things happen ! I know! But you should've pulled me aside and told me what was happening with my hair. I would've totally understood. Maybe look for a solution together. But she instead fixed it pretended it was fine and tried to sell me more stuff. I'm sorry but me and my friend will never go here again and I don't recommend it because if anyone there is in a hurry I would hAte for anyone to go through what I went through . read more

Don't waste you're time here and GOD knows they WILL waste your time for sure! I swore I'd never go back to this place a few years ago when I was waiting for 3 HOURS for My appointment. I never even got my hair done that day and just left in tears because I felt stupid being so patient for so long and when I saw them accept a girl that just walked in and left me Still waiting thats when I lost it and left. Today because my husband and I were desperate to get our hair cut I just decided to book an appointment to get both of our hair cut together since we have a baby at home we figured killing 2 birds with one stone would be more efficient. Silly me for thinking anything changed. We made our appointment for 1 and we walk in and there are 2 customers and only 2 stylists. 1 barely getting her hair washed and the other barely laying down the foil in the others hair. I wouldn't have been pissed if these women were close to being done but it was easy that it was clearly going to be an hour or 2 before they would even take us. WHY GIVE ME AN APPOINTMENT AT 1 if youre not going to at least start on me by 1:30?? (I should say 1 but I'm being generous) Our kid is waiting at home and we have a lot to do. We don't have time to WAIT ON THEM. I don't understand why they would offer me a booking if they CLEARLY had clients who were going to take a while. This is ridiculous. If you're not a buddy of someone there be prepared to wait MULTIPLE hours. They should learn that instead of just booking appointments mindlessly maybe they should take a moment to consider how long an appointment will actually take so they don't have people waiting forever. I've worked in customer service so I understand how things can get but this is clearly just a case of poor booking read more

I've been going to this place for over 2 months now. Juan is the best! He has super reasonable prices and his blend is amazing. He got me from a blonde to a whole platinum grayish blonde and I've gotten so many compliments since I've been coming to him. He's blessed my hair. Never going to anyone ever again. He is the best. Look him more on IG: @jm_obsessed BTW he's super fast to respond! I trust him w my hair more than anybody I've ever been to. read more

I booked with Juan and moved my schedule around only for him to not show up to my appointment. I called and texted and no response. I booked at 10 and he replied 11-ish said he was sorry and he overslept. He offered to rebook but this is very much him. 3 years ago I booked him and he made me wait almost 1 hr before he worked on my hair. I waited because it was my 1st time getting my hair done in a salon and i was excited. I hoped this time would be different, but he lacks time management and professionalism. Not to mention he took 5 days to return my $75 deposit. read more

The salon is really dirty they don't got paper towels when you wash your hands they're brushes are really old and The materials they use and are super cheap nothing named brand they charge you a lot they don't even put it they ruined my hair the worst experience I've ever had doing my hair honestly read more

Took my girl to get her hair and her eye lashes done and mannn let me tell you... Jessika hooked it up. Got my girl looking right !

They burnt, correction, FRIED my hair and made my hair green! They convinced me I could go from red to blonde in one session without damage (paid extra for "Olaplex") and ended up ruining my hair. I had long hair and walked out with super short, damaged, tainted hair! They charged me $300 and didn't even bother to apologize for destroying my hair. I was devastated and disappointed. It's terrible how careless all the staff there was, and how horrid my hair turned out. I would never recommend this place, not even to my worst enemy! read more

Love, love my hair!! Thank you Jessika, received great compliments for my hair. Very knowledgeable and professional and will be returning soon read more

Jessika is simply amazing! It was my first time going to this salon and she did an amazing job in explaining the process of an Hombre Balayage hair treatment and together we agreed on what worked best for my hair. She has a great personality is as talented as they come! I am definitely coming back and highly recommend this place! read more

I really wanted to like this place, the stylist there were very friendly. Although, I arrived 15 min prior to my appointment time and want seen until 3 hours after my appointment time. My original appointment was cancelled because the stylist left his keys at friends house. Now for the hair, they fried and ruined my mom's hair, she wanted burgundy highlights and got plain burgundy color. As for my hair, I was going for shoulder length hair, I had a picture, with a wave to it. I need up a bob and tight curls. I was very unhappy overall. read more

I've been coming here for over 4 years now and not sure why I haven't written a review yet lol! I come here for everything whether it's updo, makeup, color and cut. Everyone loves my read hair so much, one time I tried to change it up they demanded my hair go back the way it was because my red is beautiful! I also come here twice a week for a blow dry and they always do an amazing job. I get asked constantly where do I get my hair done, I literally carry cards and tell them the prices are awesome as well. Jessika the owner is a sweetheart. She always make sure she's involved in what is going on and everyone is happy and if not is quick to correct it. Brought my mother-in law here last Saturday, Jessica H. did her hair and she absolutely loved it. Can't say enough good things about these ladies and this salon! read more

Great customer service, Jessie was such a friendly and helpful girl . I definetly recommend her . She's the best ! read more

I love the vibe of the place and the stylist are great. Lifetime customer I am gonna be. 7 rejections and back to blonde. It was a process to get my hair like this. Jessica is very honest, instead of taking my money she told me your hair is too damage. I want you to leave with all your hair instead of being bald. First, I didn't know my hair was damaged after getting my highlights. I wasn't notified. Second, my hair was so damage if I was to do the blonde, there was a chance I would lose my hair. Third, it took me 7 times of making appointments and trying 3 different hair treatments to get my hair healthy again. Life lesson: never dying my hair with the box again. Never trust anyone to do your hair. So it takes time be patience and follow everything that is recommend to do if you have damage hair. #hairtreatments #7rejections #7months read more

Just finished getting my hair done by Jessika and I love it. My firts time and definitely not my last, she was very welcoming and her prices are very reasonable. Thank you for taking me on such a short notice l, it was a great experience. read more

Love the ambiance! I've intentionally made my way around with all three stylist and they have all given me great results!! Let me stress the fact that I know I'm a very critical customer when it comes to my hair. I know I'm picky!! I'm also a creature of habit so now that I've found this hidden gem in South Gate I will be sticking to it. From having gone through different shades of hair, Bobs to extensions, KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR and ask questions when in doubt. I've seen this awesome trio make miracles of every hair type. Amongst their awesome skills with hair, they are phenomenal with make-up!! read more

This happened in November 2018 and I'm just writing this down now bc other people should know what they are getting themselves into. The owner of this place completely fried my hair off. My hair fell off when she was washing off the bleach. She had left me under the heat for over 30 min while she was on her phone, distracted . I went in to touch up my blonde and I came out as a bald bi**h. She apologized and told me that she was gonna take care of me until my hair grows back. She installs tape ins to cover my baldness In the back. It was baddddd. My real hair didn't match the extensions so you were able to tell the difference. Each month when I wanted to go in so she can raise the extensions she made it difficult to be seen, as she wasn't making any money from me I wasn't priority. I decided to pay $300 elsewhere to get sewn ins instead and to be treated as a paying customer. My hair has yet to pass my shoulders , it's so short and choppy. Jessica was nice but don't go in there if you love your hair. Bleaching my hair with her is my biggest regret. Losing your hair is like losing your identity. Growing out your hair is a pain. Wish I would've read the reviews from this place before I went in. read more

Jesse burned my scalp, destroyed my hair, & pulled my hair out with his hands, he should not be allowed to touch anyone else's hair. He was so rough that he lifted me off the seat by pulling on my hair several times. Even though I complained several times he kept doing it. My hair was cut round on one side & longer and chopped on the other . He doesn't know what he's doing and I should have noticed this when I first walked in & saw a lady walk out of there with orange hair while Jesse complemented her on her "copper color" he will end up destroying the reputation of that salon. read more

Never disappointed when I come here. The salon has a great vibe! Jessika has never let me down when it comes to getting the color I want!

I am naturally blonde and been dying my hair black for about 2-3 years now. I have decided to start taking the black out of my hair and i remembered my sister went to this local spot and got a really great haircut. So i decided to make an appointment. I needed to have my hair bleached, then dyed, washed and cut. Upon bleaching it was discovered that my hair turned more onto the red side so i couldnt go back to blonde tones just yet. But my stylist, jessica H. was on point and knew what she was doing. We went with a copper color and i will start working my way into the lighter colors. Tho my hair was bleached it doesnt feel damaged or dry at all. Furthermore my haircut was amazing also. She is a very attentive stylist and she listens to her customers very well i got exactly what i wanted and i couldnt be happier...i am one picky lady with my hair so i will definitely be returning to Jessica H. BTW all that only cost me 180...which is very reasonably priced considering the length of my hair and all that i had done. read more
