I've been coming to Bryan Cummins for a few years. NO one else is allowed to touch my hair! For years I suffered bad haircuts and was traumatized. Everyone was scissor happy and would love to chop off all my hair. I would let it grow for months and the cycle continued, until I was visiting LA and had a friend who swore by Bryan. I knew she would never steer me wrong and booked an appointment. It was love at first styling chair. Not only did he make my hair look amazing he kept the length! FINALLY! Now, I travel from San Francisco to LA when I need my hair touched. No lie. Anyone with long hair who has been traumatized by past stylists need to come see Bryan. And he's super sweet. Can't get any better that him! PS - I've never colored my hair (ever), but he's also a genius with color. I've seen it. read more

Salon Sin É - Cut by Bryan Cummins. Love him! - Hair Salons Near Me - Studio City, California

Let me start off by saying that if I have pride in one thing it's my hair. My hair is amazing. Who keeps it that way? Bryan Cummins. So, I'm a natural redhead. But last year I bleached it then dyed it pink while living overseas. Also while overseas, I had two different stylists attempt to dye it red. I looked like freaking Melisandre from GoT. Works for her sure, but sure as hell not for me. Bryan was recommended to me by another redhead. We do NOT steer each other wrong. I get compliments on my hair all the time AND everyone thinks it's natural. Why? Because Bryan is amazing. My profile pic? A super spendy headshot and obviously Bryan was the one I went to to make sure my hair was up to par. read more

Salon Sin É - Fresh off the press! - Hair Salons Near Me - Studio City, California

Salon Sin É is great--good location and super-friendly folks, but the reason I go there is Bryan. I've been following Bryan around LA for more years than I care to count. He does a fantastic job with my hair and bonus!--he's fun to hang out with. He's a genius with color, and he highlights my boring dirty blond/mousy brown to a gorgeous blond that I get tons of compliments on. His cuts are great--if you want something specific, he'll make it happen; if you don't know what you want, he'll delight you with something fun and flattering. Over the years, I've tried both and I have to admit he usually picks better than I would've! If you're wavering at all on what you want, I recommend defaulting to him. You won't be disappointed. Bottom line, I'm always happy when I leave and I've had some laughs and probably learned a thing or two in the process. read more

Hi Meggie, just read this article online and I really just wanted to say thank you for doing such an amazing thing! You are very inspirational and kind! May God bless you! read more

Salon Sin É - Hair Salons Near Me - Studio City, California

I have been a client of Bryan Cummins for more than six years and I honestly can't imagine letting ANYONE else touch my hair. He has a voracious passion for what he is doing and really understands the science behind color. In the time that I have known him I've had countless treatments including a Brazilian Blowout (which I'm obsessed with) and balayage coloring and always walk away thrilled and stunned. Beyond his amazing conversation skills, what I love most about Bryan is that he has NEVER been pushy when it comes to a treatment or style. I have girlfriends who see stylists who push product or extensions - you name it - and I haven't ever had a moment like that with Bryan. One last note, he's been cutting my fiances hair and it has never looked better. The man has cowlicks, curls, and thickness like you wouldn't believe and it's no small feat trying to get it tamed and looking hot! read more

Thank you Yelp for introducing me to Bryan Cummins. He has glowing reviews from clients..... for a reason! He's incredible. If you want compliments on your hair, come to him. He's exactly who I was looking for, as I needed a new, sexy Upgrade. I love my hair and have already been to him twice. He's a true artist. He's also really sweet. I felt comfortable the second I met him. He's a friend you haven't yet met, and he loves dogs- Another plus. The salon is also very laid back. Very down to Earth and not pretentious. A Relaxing and comfortable environment. read more

Salon sin É is great! It's in a nice location and a lovely salon. The reason I go is for Bryan!! He is amazing!! I can tell you in all honesty he is the best stylist in Los Angeles!! He is so knowledgeable and professional. He does wonders with you hair, he is so skilled with color and cuts. I have a small child and haven't done my hair in ages, he transformed it and made it look so beautiful and feel wonderful too! I am so impressed with his skill! He really knows how to find the perfect tone and color to compliment your skin tone. Do yourself a favor and come in and see him, you will be so happy you did!! read more

I randomly chose Salon Sin E as my first haircut experience after recently moving to the area. The owner, Maggie, warmly greeted me and we chatted over tea while Ryan finished with his client. After a thorough consultation, Ryan walked me through each step during the cut and followed up with some good styling tips. Clean facilities, educated staff, and awesome customer service made my experience memorable. And I like my haircut! read more

I found Sin E through Yelp and because they had such good reviews I decided to give them a chance... My usual stylist (whom I have been going to for 11 years) moved out of the state so I was very nervous trying out a new place... BUT my experience at Sin E was AWESOME and all of the positive reviews are accurate!!! I booked my appointment with Ryan and he was ready for me when I walked through the door... the ambiance in the salon was relaxing and chic... Ryan sat me down and consulted with me about my hair, what I wanted, what I liked... and off he went... EVERYONE in the salon works together like a well oiled machine and EVERYONE in the salon was super courteous and the whole experience from the moment I walked in until the moment I left, was awesome... I left in just over two hours after a cut, color and style... and I could not have been happier... we were thinking about adding some highlights to the color and Ryan had already mixed it up, but after looking at it and discussing with me we both agreed the color he put on would look better without the highlights... and HE was the one who suggested it!!! I LOVE that they aren't there to push things on you just because it will increase their sales... THESE are the types of people you can trust with your hair! And I will definitely be making future appointments with them! p.s. when I got home, my husband stared at me and said, "Damn, Baby... I haven't seen your hair look this hot in... I don't know when!" read more

I had a wonderful experience here! I colored my hair for the first time and was a little nervous to do it, but I'm so happy with how it turned out. Bryan really listened to what I wanted and even took the time to meet with me beforehand to go over everything and answer questions. So awesome. I'm glad I found this place! My new go-to salon. read more

Salon Sin É - Hair colored and styled by Bryan Cummins. - Hair Salons Near Me - Studio City, California

I'm so glad I tried this place because I finally found my hair stylist! I've been going there for 2 years now. Ryan knows exactly what cut looks good for me, and his cut lasts about 8 weeks. (I do have long hair) What I love about it is that his cut looks good effortlessly. Of course "the day of" looks good because he styles it nicely, but I can just blow dry it at home and it looks good. I get more compliments about my hair now, and I love it! I also was never told by a hair stylist to uncross my legs during the cut because it tilts the straight line. Hair cut is a serious business! ;-) Both Maggie and Ryan are friendly and professional. I've never got a cut by Maggie, but I'd assume she's as good as Ryan. The environment feels urban yet inviting, and it's a treat for me to go there! read more

I haven't had my hair cut at a salon in about three years - I've been having a friend cut it for me. I heard about this salon and it's reasonable prices so I decided to check it out. The salon is bright and clean and the staff is really friendly. I had my hair cut by Ryan but not before I had the most relaxing shampoo/wash experience of my life - it was virtually a scalp massage. I don't know exactly how much time went by because I started falling asleep. After a grueling week of finals, it was just the thing I needed. Ryan did an amazing job. I generally don't spend a lot of time styling my hair so I needed a cut/style that I could just blow dry and walk out the door with. He listened to what I wanted and he delivered. Check plus! In addition, the products used at this salon have a light and fresh fragrance. I received many compliments on the style and scent of my hair (as strange as the last part may sound it's true). There are other perks to this salon besides the great and relaxing services it provides. It's location is just as wonderful as the salon itself. It is located next door to Artisan Cheese Gallery and across the street from a Trader Joe's. I suggest making an afternoon of it by visiting the salon, getting an amazing panini next door, and do some grocery shopping before heading home. Could a visit to Salon Sin É get any better? read more

I just got the best haircut in all my 43 years of hair growing. Maggie is amazing. Not only did it look fantastic in the salon, it still looks incredible after I simply washed it and walked out the door. I mean, we all look great when the blow dryer clicks off and the chair spins around to the mirror. It's after that first shampoo at home when truth comes out. Happy to say I'm just thrilled. It's exactly what I wanted and needed. How often can you say that? And as if that weren't enough, free parking! No more running to the meter in a backwards cape with foil in your hair looking like a deranged superhero! I look forward to our next appointment, Maggie! read more

Yahoo!!! A NYC quality salon here in L.A. Maggies' last salon was in NY, but she's since moved out here & recently opened her salon. Get in now while you can, bound to book up quickly as word spreads! Maggie really took the time to listen to me, added her professional advice and it turned into a win-win haircut, color & blow dry! Also provided is an Irish cup of tea & stopping in next door at the artisan cheese shop is a must! Come hungry & shaggy, leave feted & coiffed ;-) read more

I'm giving 5 stars, but I'm really giving the recommendation to Bryan Cummins. The salon itself is nice and convenient to where I live and work, but I would honestly follow Bryan anywhere in the city. Maybe even to Orange County. Yes, that's how much I love him. Bryan gives the most GORGEOUS highlights and makes my dirty dishwater blonde hair sunny and beautiful. No one realizes that I get it highlighted, and I get compliments all the time. He also gives a great cut. And he's sweet and easy to talk to, to boot! True love, people. I also convinced my husband, who has curly, difficult hair that has been BUTCHERED countless times by less competent stylists (I'm looking at you, Rudy's Barbershop employees), to go to Bryan, and his hair looks great. Bryan, you are amazing!!! read more

Had my hair done one more time after my initial experience. Maggie still did a really good job. Unfortunately my low-paying job cannot afford maggie anymore. $150+ every 6 weeks is just too much for this poor girl. read more

The stylist I was using unfortunately passed away :-( So in my search for a new person to trust with my hair, I happened to pass this place a couple of times. I was looking for a place that was moderately priced but wouldn't compromise the quality of the cut. I found it here. My stylist was Ryan. He listened to what I wanted and we developed a long term plan to repair my dye-job-damaged hair. The salon is clean, the staff is friendly, prices are totally reasonable. The cut was natural and Ryan is very intuitive and conversational; I immediately felt comfortable. Definitely recommend this spot :-) read more

I came to Maggie 2 months ago after learning that her business supports the local elementary school. I was totally blown away by her style, her service and the entire environment. This salon feels hip and urban without being pretentious. Maggie was the right mix of chatty, witty, sassy and serious. She listened to my requests, she offered her advice and ended up giving me a fabulous new look. She corrected my color, she shaped my hair to fit my head and jawline and then she taught me how to style it. Totally cool! After 2 months I am still looking great and can't wait to come in for another visit. read more

I have been seeing Maggie for about a 2 years now and everytime she does my hair it is fantastic. Everyone at the salon is personable and friendly and I truly enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. I feel a million times better every time I walk out with exactly the cut and style I've asked. She also has given me great product recommendations for continuing my hair care at home! read more

All the stylist at this salon are super sweet and welcoming. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and asked if I wanted anything to drink coffee water etc but the reason for my visit was BRYAN CUMMINS! I came to see Bryan C and he is amazing at what he does he truly is a hair GOD the most amazing colorist ever and will fix your bad hair. He gave me the most beautiful Sun kissed hair ever I wish I would've found him sooner because it would've saved me a so much money, time and unnecessary haircuts! He fixed my bad balayage job that I got from someone else and made it into a super natural sun kissed sombre. Don't hesitate to make an appointment with him he is truly the best at what he does!!! He is super sweet And super reasonable with his prices! Don't wait on making an appointment with him I swear he will get really big on social media all his work is amazing much better then other famous social media stylist and to top it all off he truly cares about the HEALTH of your hair! He believes that a key to a beautiful color should be paired with healthy silky hair. Follow him on social media his work speaks for itself @cutcolorcreate read more

Salon Sin É - Bryan Cummins amazing coloring skills! - Hair Salons Near Me - Studio City, California

My first visit to Salon Sine and I'm already a huge fan. I saw the positive reviews on Yelp and figured I'd give the salon a try. So glad that I did! Maggie did my cut and color. She rehabbed my hair cut (I had some ill advised and badly cut layers) and asked me a lot of questions to really figure out what I wanted for my color. She was patient with me with my limited adjectives (dark, warm, chocolaty, warm...) and figured out exactly what I meant. I love my color and love my cut! Plus - everyone was really friendly and they made me feel welcome. It wasn't the "too cool for school" vibe that so many salons on Ventura have. I will be back for sure. read more

This salon is great. Madeline toned my hair and put a smoothing product in it. She showed extensive knowledge in color correction and maintenance of healthy hair. She was very professional and kind. She is an expert in a lines and short cuts. I would suggest Madeline to anyone who is looking for a professional cut and color. I will definitely be returning! I would totally follow her Instagram to see all her beautiful hair ideas @madeline.richard read more

I love these guys. Truly. I moved to LA five years ago and visited a handful of other salons before settling on Sine. These guys love their craft, want you to look your best, but also want your hair to stay healthy over the long term. They're not going to flat iron you (unless it's what you really want) just because it's a quick styling fix...they're invested in doing what's best for the health of your hair and I know from experience not all stylists take that approach. I also love that Sine is zero pretense. It's people who care about taking good care of you and your hair, minus all the attitude that you get from so many other salons where sometimes it feels as though the staff cares more about what they look like than what you're looking like. So if you want to step into an over-blown scene, maybe this isn't the place for you. If you want talented professionals in a personal, down-to-earth salon, then this is the place. I've been seeing mainly Ryan for the past four years and he is a doll and a perfectionist in the best sort of way. Maggie and Autry are also just lovely - you really can't go wrong. Oh...I also love the Unite line they use - great stuff! read more

I absolutely love Bryan. He knows blondes like no other. Helps that he specializes in blondes. I work in the entertainment industry and can't afford a bad hair day. Thanks to bryan it hasn't happened yet. Highly recommend him. read more

Ryan did my hair yesterday and it looks fantastic! Very welcoming people working there, atmosphere is very warm and friendly. From my first few minutes you can see that the professionals know what they're doing! read more

Ryan is an amazing stylist. He took care of my hair for 2 years while I lived in Studio City, before I moved to Santa Monica. I can't say enough about the great work he does. He's very particular in getting the perfect cut and his hair cuts look great growing out. Plus I have curly hair but he knows how to cut it so it looks great straight or curly. Maggie is also fantastic at color - she recommended highlights that I loved and I've been wearing for the better part of a year. Five stars all the way. I wish you guys would come to the Westside! read more

I go to Salon SinE for Bryan Cummins, who is an absolutely incredible artist with color. He spent hours on my blah hair and turned it into a work of art. He used a process called balayage, which makes the color look natural, gradual, and flat-out gorgeous. Bryan is a painstaking artist and a wonder to watch. His cuts are fantastic, too. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is a true wizard with color and also just a really wonderful person. GO SEE BRYAN and make yourself gorgeous! read more

I have been going to Maggie at Salon Sine for 3 years now! This review is to highlight their new location (Not so new anymore) : ) The parking is convenient and free. The space is bright, clean and comfortable. I just love it. read more

Salon Sine is wonderful. The establishment is very clean and spacious. What a great shop! Maggie did a fabulous job on my hair. Loved the hot towel treatment as well. Overall, I was very impressed of the service I received. Thanks again Maggie! read more

I got a Groupon for Salon Sin E, so of course, that was the first perk: discounted hair service! Another perk is the location. However, parking in that area isn't ideal, but there's free public parking right up the street at Vons/CVS, so that's my suggestion. It's less than a 3-minute walk. Maggie is great. Her tongue is as sharp as her wit, which is always a refreshing treat (if you're into dry humor), and she'll definitely keep you on your toes. She's also great with hair, and while she'll give you her opinion, she'll ultimately let you make the final call, minus that feeling of guilt and shame you get with other stylists. Unfortunately, I can't speak about the pricing, as I got the Groupon. However, it mayyyy be a little out of my price range, which is a sad thought :( But I will visit at least one more time to find out what the full price of my styling needs are, and then make the decision then. Go to Salon Sin E. It's all good. read more

This review is long overdue! I'm remembering this place as I am lin need of a cut and looking forward to returning. Maggie and Ryan were fantastic - genuinely nice people with a huge talent for cuts, color, and styling. I came here after a friend said it was the best salon experience she'd had in LA. I've been looking for a salon to go to regularly for years and have not been completely satisfied.. But Maggie and Ryan did not let me down. I get nervous with my head in other people's hands - but not here! I trusted their skills and let them do their thing and my hair turned out great. Thanks Maggie and Ryan! I'll be back! read more

I had the worst coloring issue after some extreme bright colored fun hair. It had every shade you could think of somewhere in it, and I had been turned down by a few stylists before finding this salon. Bryan cummins was able to fix my coloring issue and revitalized my hair to look amazingly healthy and beautiful again. It gave me my confidence back! I would recommend him to anyone! read more

Great cut by Maggie! I love it. Went back for color and she did a great job making sure my hair is healthy! I highly recommend Salon Sine!

This place is fantastic. Not only is Maggie one of the most hospitable people on Ventura Blvd. but her skills and knowledge in the business are abundant. I've been twice already and have left very pleased with the results of my visits. Days after I get a cut at Salon Sine I have always received many compliments from friends and co-workers on my hair!! Also, the hot towel treatment and head massage from Kallie are BIG pluses to the experience at Maggie's!! read more

It was my birthday and I was walking past Salon Sine, when I made an impromptu decision to get my hair cut. Maggie (the owner) greeted me warmly and said that Ryan, the other stylist who works at the salon, would be cutting my hair. The entire staff seemed genuinely interested in me, and made me feel welcome. Ryan did a great job on my cut, and spent a lot of extra time putting it in rollers, to create a special look for my upcoming night out - free of charge. As my service wrapped up, Maggie walked in with a cupcake, complete with a birthday candle, and they sang "Happy Birthday" to me. They sure knew how to make a girl feel special!I had a great experience and won't be going anywhere else for hair services - as far as talent & personality goes - Salon Sine can't be beat! read more

Great place!! I have not had my hair cut in a salon for years because I dont trust them. Well I found this place on YELP and everyone had great reviews so I went to it last night. WOW Ryan is the best! He did a great job and listened to exactly what I wanted!! I highly recommend going there! Price was so reasonable and the place was clean and welcoming! Dene read more

Some of these negative reviews truly do not belong. This salon is worth checking out if you are new to the neighborhood or just want to explore your salon options if you haven't done so in while. I discovered Salon Sine when I moved into the neighborhood. I remember it being the highest rated salon in my area so I had to check it out. It wasn't until today's haircut that I realized I have been going now for over 3 years!! Unlike most hair salons, everyone works as a team to give customers a better experience. During this time, I have found Maggie, Ryan, and Autry exceptional in taking care of my needs as a customer. For example, I am always asked whether I want any water or coffee. When my stomach rumbles since I have not eaten all day, they ask whether I would like them to order me any food from the delicious shop next door--Get the Maggie special!! On my first visit, Ryan asked whether I parked in the meter while Autry cut my air. I answered yes and he asked me where I parked so he could go check on the meter for me; I had parked at a meter because I was running late. Ryan actually went out an extended my time without me asking and the parking meter maid came by 5 minutes later and ticketed the guy in front of me. Now on to the hair! I have cowlics...and lots of them in the front and the rear. It always takes a haircut or two for a new stylist to excel at cutting my hair. I have been extremely satisfied every time I have been. Even the one time I was disappointed that I didn't ask them to cut it short enough, I called in and asked whether they could see me again two days later. They said to come in and they cut it no questions asked and it was evident they were more interested in me being happy about my haircut than the time they were putting into it. read more

I simply can't express how genuinely grateful i am to Maggie and her team. If it weren't for this woman and her patience and generosity, I probably wouldn't have any hair left on my head right now. I came to her with extremely long yet extremely damaged, over-processed hair (it was basically cotton candy) and literally gave me a tiny trim and yet saved all of it with patience, wisdom, and skill like I've never seen. Its actually starting to resemble something like a healthy head of hair again which is nothing short of a miracle. read more

My hair was severely damaged and multicolored. Maggie transformed my hair all into one color, the color I wanted and looking healthier than ever. It's a wonderful feeling having beautiful hair and having the hair that I have always wanted. I feel fortunate to have found Maggie. Thank you very much. read more
