I enjoyed my two prior cuts from this salon. However, this time I noticed she was distracted and went against my wishes. I requested twice with her to not use sheer scissors but she still did so. She acknowledged both times that she wouldn't. Yet, in the end she still did. She was distracted speaking to a friend in the salon and I wonder if that threw her off on what we had initially agreed with. I still called her out on it but she claimed it wouldn't damage anything because she was doing the ends a bit. My reason behind it was based on my hair type being very fine and sheer scissors ruin my ends. I was really disappointed in her not listening and also hate the way my hair feels so thin now. This is a horrible haircut. Sadly I don't know if this hairstylist can multitask and I would not recommend. read more

This place is so amazing! The owner is really nice and she is so skilled cutting women or men's hair. I really recommend this place for any kind of hair needs. read more

Very knowledgeable and professional! I recommend to perm and cut. Reasonable prices and cute dog at the front.

Rude MFers answered the phone. Female, then Male. He made a rac_ist comment. Never go there. NEVER. Can't believe they can stay in business in a multicultural neighborhood. Went to the restaurant and coffee shop next door, then saw this place because I needed a hair cut. Called to make an appointment. But, the way they spoke to me was excessively rude enough. Such arrogant Mfers. read more

Great and sincere service. Top quality haircut customized to your own style. Appointment recommended!

I've been coming here since I was a child. Ive left amazing reviews, loved the place and recommended it to ALL of my friends in ktown. BUT NOT ANYMORE! On the 16th of March I went in for a keratin straightening treatment, at the end of the treatment I was in love with how my hair felt and how it looked. However after following all the instructions and not washing my hair for three days, my hair dried after the shower and it wasn't straight. Instead I had horrible wavy hair. I called numerous times and left several voicemails however they never called me back. I went in today to go speak to them and see what they could do for my hair seeing that they had not met my expectations nor their guarantee. However today I was just told that he could just straighten my hair and that was it and that his treatment would only be 80% effective. I've trusted them with my perms, straightenings, C-curls. I will no longer be recommending this place. I will have to search for a new salon. read more

There is two artists here. One lady and a guy but i dont know his name even I have known him for years now. That's my bad. :p Any ways he knows really well about colors and he explain everything so well. Also the price is very reasonable without damaging your hair! That is why I keep comming here to get my hair color done. They always keep up with new good products and staffs are very tentative! I really love my hair done here couple of days ago. Posted some pics . read more

Scissors Sketch - I love how they worked on my hair color!!:) - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I'm a $10 haircut guy so I usually go to barbershops. But sometimes it's nice to go to a hair studio that pays attention to the details. If you're the type of person who's very particular about how your hair is done, this is your spot. You'll be asked to go back into a room and change into a robe - I think it's to prevent hair from getting into your shirt. The jist of it: a Korean man and woman and do a tag-team number that includes shampoo, haircut, and styling. The mini-TV experience is pleasant. Be warned that if you make an appointment, don't be late cause they will call you out on it. Better to just do a walk-in. read more

Take your money somewhere else. This place has no concept of aesthetics. If you tell them you don't like the cut they will blame it on your hair instead of fixing the problem. If you look at the pictures, their techniques are so outdated and their work product stiff. When I expressed my dissatisfaction of my side bang, instead of resolving my issue, the guy with the red curly hair said "you tell us what we can do and we will do it." HELLO!? That's why I am spending money at your salon - obviously I don't know what to do and I was seeking a professional! What kind of idiotic customer service is that?! I thought I was getting my hair done, but I ended up getting mud thrown in my face and insulted. Take your money somewhere else. read more

I've been going here for years now - I don't even know how many. At least 4, but probably more. Sarah and Thomas are absolute jewels. Sarah is like a surgeon with hair-cutting implements! My original visit I had shoulder-length hair which Sarah transformed into what I believe is called an A-bob. Absolutely gorgeous! I maintained that style for a year or two and then decided to grow my hair out for one "last hurrah" (I'm 63) and have been going in to get trims - (which are actually cuts because I forget and wait so long to go in). My hair looks and feels like silk when I leave. Such a treat. Almost forgot - I also got a Magic Straight treatment a couple of years ago that was amazing - no fighting with my flat iron until it grew out. I never feel rushed and they are always so friendly and kind. I would not hesitate to recommend them, they are the best. read more

The main and only hair designer cuts your hair with care and graciously for the first time. Then after second visit, she cuts hair with less care and messes up your hair. She charges $5 more if she uses scissors and $5 less if she only uses razor. read more

Wow! Called this afternoon, got an appointment 2 hours later, and with minimal explanation, Sarah new exactly what I wanted! It's hard to find a stylist who can cut my bob the way I want it, but I'm so happy with the fade and meticulous attention Sarah paid to my bangs and the graduation on the sides. She even used a serum that smoothed and glossed my hair like Louise Brooks. Takes covid safety measures seriously, and makes sure guests are comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

My daughter an I have been going to this salon for over 10 years. I get my hair colored, cut and conditioned by Sarah, who is the owner. My daughter always gets her hair straight permed, until recently wherein she got the Brazilian blowout. Prices are reasonable and service is always the best. Sometimes, the only thing I am having a hard time with is explaining how I want to style my hair. But Sarah's husband speaks very good english and he translates. We travel a long ways from the valley to L.A., so that just goes to show how much we like going to this salon. They also give you free coffee or tea. And they are very clean. read more

I thoroughly loved my experience at this salon! The atmosphere was friendly and every single member of the staff was helpful in deciding on my new hairdo! We came up with a plan from a picture and the haircut/style exceeded my expectations! I will use this salon again in a heartbeat! read more

Let me preface this by saying that this was the 2nd time I've paid for a haircut in over 15 years. I'm a stingy, self-reliant bastard, so hair clippers are my best friend. I decided to stop here on a whim, and I am glad I did. At first I figured it may be a boutique hair salon for the ladies, but the gentleman who ushered me in reassured me that they do men's cuts as well. Amazing value, for $20 I got a mad decent haircut, shampoo + conditioner. The stylist asked me a few questions on how she should proceed, and then she started to cut and clip away with confidence. I was out the door in about 12-15 minutes feeling so fresh and so clean. read more

2nd visit and they seem very unprofessional and not very customer service oriented. Took several revisions to get the cut right despite showing pictures and giving clear instructions. Each time I ask them to make the correction the main barber seems to have an attitude about it. Not very welcoming will go elsewhere. read more

They did a really good job with cutting my hair! I'm in love with my new haircut! They really paid attention of my concerns, so I recommand this place! The only drawback : I wish my hair was a little bit more straight and less volumed, because now i still have wavy hair but I guess it's the Keratin Straight treatment so if you want straight hair I recommand you the Magic Perm (more "Japanese-style") Good place and good prices ! read more

I came back 2 months after my Magic Straight to do the hair color. Jina, (I finally remembered her name) was very careful not to get my post magic straight hair damaged and she also managed to bring out the color I want. The rest of the staff are very friendly and they offer snacks (they gave me a slice of cake baked by one of the staff) and coffee/tea while my hair is being processed. One more thing I like about this salon is that they are cheaper than other salon but the quality is a lot better than the expensive ones. They will not pressure you to buy their products and they will tell you how to take care of your hair. I will be back to do my Magic Straight RETOUCH. Yes, they do a retouch, unlike other salons who insist doing hair straightening on the whole hair all the time. Aside from retouch is cheaper than having the whole hair straightened, it also saves your hair for being too much processed, and magic straight is permanent you don't need to do it over again. read more

I called to book an appointment at 1:30. I came in at 1:31 and they were eating lunch. They asked me to wait for 5 mins. 1:50 they started to seat me. I thought it will be my turn and then they asked me to wait for another 5 mins. And they were still eating slowly during my wait time. I SPENT 30 mins SEEING THEY EATING!!!!!!!! They really don't value my time and THEIR SERVICE SUCKS!! DO NOT COME. read more

I get my hair cut here all the time (prob every 20 days lol), been going for years and they always do a great job. Even if I want to try something new, I like the honest feedback Sarah gives me. She will always tell you if something will work or if it might not work the way you think. They don't just start cutting and tell you it looks good at the end. You show them a pic or tell them what you want and they tell you what they have to do and how it might look at the end (regardless they always do a great job). Plus I love the fact that they offer free instant coffee or tea if you have to wait. read more

The worst place I have been to in my whole life. How do they call themselves professional. It was the worst hair cut ever, uneven and very choppy. There were one Male and one female who seemed to be in their late 40s. The female cutter had an attitude up to kazoo just for asking a washing before cutting which is the correct procedure. As if that was unbearable enough she barely cut any off and charged $35. Not to mention the man dropped the towel then picked it up and used it on my hair. They so lucky that I didn't report them to Divison of consumer affairs. read more

I've been to a lot of hair salons but i was very impressed with scissors sketch and now its the only place i like going to. Prices are fair, service is kind, and the hair cuts are very professional. When i went there last i tried out the Brazilian hair straightening and was very impressed at first i thought Sarah(the owner) was just trying to sell me some fad, but after trying it out i was amazed how it looks and most important how it feels. It lasts longer and my hair doesn't feel like it was blow dried to ash. I would definitely recommend this place because you get what you pay for and its worth every penny. Try it out they wont disappoint. read more

I went to Scissors Sketch and had a wonderful experience. Having just moved to the neighborhood I was nervous about where to go for hair color. I have been working with a stylist in Chicago for months to get the color I wanted. I went in to ask if they could match the color and without hesitation, he brought back a swatch and said "this is it." I scheduled an appointment for a cut and color right away. The color and cut was very reasonably priced and I was treated well from the moment I walked through the door. A perfect color match and very kind service. I will be making this place my go-to salon in LA. read more

I'm always scared to try new haircut places, but I came here on a whim a couple of months ago for a haircut. I told the lady what I want (3 inches off with layers with razoring) and I got exactly what I asked for. It was actually better than what I was expecting! :) It's usually rare for hair stylists to cut my hair in a way that shows/creates volume (thanks to the asain straight hair) but she did it! The great thing about the haircut was it grew out nicely. Thank you and I will be back soon! I just wish I took down the stylist's name. read more

I've been coming here for hair cuts for past 2 years. Not for the quality, but for the price. $15 for a haircut from same person for past year. I my last visit i paid with Credit card, but the guy charged me $20. I asked if the price went up, but he says it read more

I've been to this salon many times, and love this place. I have been recommending this place for years and really do offer the best service for decent prices. It's unisex, and they take kids too. They even still do perms! I haven't had one since the 80's, but maybe they're for you. Anyways, I just went recently and saw that they have individual TV monitors you can watch while your getting ur haircut or whatever. Plus free coffee. I love free. read more

Beautiful haircut no matter who does it. If you are getting color or highlights, ask for Michelle. She is off on Mondays.

I got my hair straightened here with what they called a Magic Straight. They were so nice and respectful. They did a great job and it lasted for almost 2~years. my hair was so manageable and smooth looking. When my new hair grew in it was very healthy and strong. I took a while to post this review cause i had not expected it to last so long, but it did and i have no lasting bad side effects. In fact my hair is in such great shape now that I don't even have to straighten it at all. very happy with the service and I highly recommend it. read more

I have been coming here for a year now. My first visit was for Magic straightening and they did an amazing job! My next visit was a few months later and was for a birthday treat for myself. I got a hair cut and color which turned out great!!! I never had my hair dyed before and i was so afraid that they might screw it up, but they didn't. I walked out of the salon, happy and very much glad that I went there. I live around the area which is another plus. I will be visiting soon for another magic straightening and hair cut. read more

I really like going to Scissor Sketch to get the Japanese hair straightening. I went there for the first time about a year ago and went back again this week for another treatment. I have very thick, long, frizzy hair and I LOVE the Japanese straightening because it makes my hair sleek and smooth and it lasted a whole year. The whole treatment took about 3.5-4 hours for me but there are portable DVD player at each station so I was able to watch movies and whatnot to pass the time (really nice touch to the salon). The salon itself is really nice and everyone is very friendly and accommodating, I felt taken care of the entire time I was there even when the salon got busy. The prices are great also!! I will definitely be going back and would recommend to anyone especially for straightening!! read more

I've been trying to find a right person and I finally found one. I went there since one of my co-worker told me they are very good. So when I walked in I was introduced to a stylist name 'Jina' and guess what !!!! I love how she cuts my hair~ I finally found the right person!! I live about 40 minutes away from LA but I would rather go there instead of messing up my hair around here!! ^^ read more

This is the second time I went to Scissor Sketch for Japanese hair straightening. I decided to wait until I washed my hair and did it myself before writing this review. They did a fantastic job! This time the owners did the job and I was much more satisfied than the first time. They took much longer to do the process. In fact, it took so much longer, I had to leave after they finished the straightening to pick up my daughter because I thought, based on the previous time, I would be on time to get her. This was not the case! They did such an intense treatment, that I realized I was going to be late. They let me leave and come back with child in tow to complete my haircut. They are very friendly and have great prices, too! read more

I'm usually a barber shop kind of guy and have been for years. The only reason I stopped by the salon was because of my friend insisting I get a more updated haircut. I should've done this years ago. Awesome haircut! read more

Sarah, owner of Scissors Sketch who was head stylist of major TV broadcasting of Korea, has been styling my hair for years. She is great personal and talented to create my short hair looks chic and sophisticates. Her latest techniques of cutting is from Vidal Sassoon since she is learning all the time even she has 25 years salon experience. I believe she took care of lots K-POP stars, TV actors and actress of their style. Lee Young Ae was also one of her patron. Sometime I do ask her for a digital perm which able to have textures on my hair . She makes me a look more elegant. She is totally talented. Give her an opportunity for your hair. read more

This is my favorite hair salon to do Japanese hair straightening in Los Angeles. They are friendly, especially Sarah. I originally have thin kinky, frizzy and curly hair. But she always remove those and turns it completely straight. Making it silky and smooth with a glossy appearance. I definitely recommend this place. My hair is smooth and looks great! read more

Showed them pic what I wanted. Appeared understood what I wanted. At the end of service, totally opposite looking what I asked for. Blamed me choose wrong style for me. Also blamed my hair is too fluffy. read more

I hate paying for hair cuts and usually don't mind doing it myself. One day I ended up walking around my neighborhood and saw this salon in a plaza. Spur of the moment type of thing. I ended up getting half of my head shaved, which did need some explaining but the stylist was very nice and so was the receptionist who also sometimes helps out with blow-drying your hair. I went back a few months later to get a trim and they remembered me! Always a fun thing. A FEW more months later and I end up back at Scissor Sketch after I cut my hair myself for a touch up. I decided on getting a Brazilian blowout after having my hair deemed "too damaged" for the Magic Straight. Thank god. I don't know the exact ingredients that went into my hair but considering that it was only about 90 minutes and did not choke the air I breathed, I assume it was formaldehyde free.. I had a different stylist this time but she was absolutely attentive and very sweet. A pleasant experience all three times, in the span of about a year or so. read more

I got the most jacked up haircut here back in October (yea a little late on the review). When the woman who cut my hair was finished, I pointed out a few areas that I thought needed help and upon seeing her "fix", I decided it would be better to walk away while I still had some hair. Epic fail. I have no idea how others got 5 star service here. *tear* read more

Sarah and Thomas are the best! They're officially my go-to people for haircuts in LA. Very low price but they do my hair with such care. Thomas was concerned about the dryness of my hair so he took time to explain how to adjust my shampoo/conditioner routine so I have healthier hair in the long run. read more

The best hair salon in Los Angeles. Look no further from hair cuts to products to a fantastic staff and beautiful salon. I love this salon. Ten stars! The staff is extraordinary and the finest. read more
