Blonde balayage by Cassie
Annie B.

I have been going to Cassie since 2017!!! She cut me a cute lob while I was still in school. She gave me a professional brown balayage when I first passed the bar and became a baby lawyer. Then she helped me go blonde during the pandemic. Now I'm a mom and shes given me easy to maintain cuts that are just long enough to keep tied up! My hair is constantly tied up, so she gives me the perfect bangs and whispys so I don't look like a founding father. She's taken care of me and my hair at every stage of my life! I can't thank her enough for making me feel amazing every time I'm in her chair. It's also been amazing to see her take a leap of faith and open her own salon. It is everything she's about in one place. She's done more than open a salon, she's gone beyond and done the mental and emotional labor to create a space that can really support hair artists. It's never easy doing something different and going against the grain. I'm so proud of her!! Come get a cut/color with Cassie, come work with Cassie. You won't regret it. I'm about to see her again next Friday!

everybody pls go and book with Mia right now. probably one of the most talented and friendly hairstylists I've ever met. i walked in super nervous and right as i sat in her chair i felt like she's been my friend for 5 years. not only did she save my hair, she transformed it and i got a good yap session out of it too. the whole salon is a complete vibe and every employee in there is super friendly. Mia did her big one !! thank you again girl, i will definitely be coming back

Hector totally got it and did an amazing job. The thing that impressed me most is I wanted highlights without bleaching my hair, and he made it happen. Every other place said I had to bleach it. The salon is super clean, bright, and has a great vibe. Everyone there is really kind and helpful. Yeah, I had to wait for an appointment and send pics beforehand, but it was 100% worth it. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great stylist!

I recently reached out to this salon but, from what I gathered, is down to one stylist now--Hector…read more It seems the space isn't a fully staffed salon anymore, and the page hasn't been updated to reflect that. I was asked to send photos of my hair and then told that Hector is booked out for months. It would have been better to be upfront about that from the start instead of feeling like I was being screened as a new client. A friend of mine has seen Hector for years and recommended him, which is why I wanted to try. I initially hoped to see another stylist at the salon, but soon learned that that team member is no longer there. If the salon updates its information and availability, it would help set expectations for future clients.

Compared to the other studios I've been to, they are the most consistent, honest, and detailed. I have never walked out of this studio unhappy with how my hair looked, even if it deviated a bit from what I originally wanted. In the most recent time I went, I was absolutely blown away with how my hair turned out! So much that I think I will continue asking for this color for years to come, maybe until my hair can't handle it anymore lol I've been going to Romi for a few years for color and haircuts and I deeply appreciate how much attention to detail she has. In my case, she had noted down the colors that I've had before and uses that as a point of reference for my session. This is so helpful, especially since I don't remember what I asked for months prior. Since I liked my most recent color so much, I can walk into the studio with full confidence that I can ask for the exact same thing again because she has it noted down somewhere. Thank you Romi!!

Then a good friend of mine who has been going to Arty for a while now recommended me to try them. So I went in today for the first time and had an amazing experience. Yumiko san was very professional, warm and kind. She took her time to cut, fix my hair problems and styled it nicely. Place is super clean and relaxing. Thank you so much, Yumiko san for your wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back.

A shoulder cut can quickly look crazy on me (mullet alert) but she was able to perfectly layer my hair with some face framing bangs to come out perfectly balanced.

From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!
