    My finished hair :)
    Ashley L.

    WOW. JUST WOW. When I say I wish I could give 10 stars I'm not exaggerating, and I hardly ever write reviews. I had completely virgin hair before coming to Seola. I decided to finally go blonde from brunette on impulse. I saw that Seola specializes in coloring and also more importantly for me, asian hair as well. It's so hard for me to find someone that does my hair well as I am extremely picky and very selective with who gets to work on my hair. I was super excited but honestly I am 100000x more happy with the results than I had imagined I would be. The cut and the color came out immaculate! She was also sooo extremely patient with me and explained the entire process so I appreciate that, especially since I didn't know much at all about coloring. Super helpful! Found my hairstylist and colorist FOR LIFE!! Couldn't thank her enough! xx

    You can see the time stamps on our convo.  She didn't even respond to the last message.

    I had made an appointment with Sarah almost 3 weeks ago. I confirmed with her the night before at 6pm and she confirmed. Come today the day of my appointment, she canceled claiming that she's "too sick". I follow her on Instagram (which I'm sure she wasn't aware of) and saw that she just posted and had herself eating in Joey's DTLA. I'm really annoyed and upset because I took off work, and set up a nanny to get my hair done and for whatever reason she canceled last min. I even asked the night before if we were still on. (See attached screen shot) So unprofessional and such a waste of everyone's time and money being "so sick" I think it's sketchy that she only accepts cash too.

    My before and after pictures say it all. My hair was a hot mess. The color from the previous job was all sorts of wrong and my hair was not in the best shape. Normally my hair is very healthy but after all the bleaching and salt water, Sarah warned me there was a chance of breaking. Luckily my vitamins kicked in and voilá, no breakage. If you need a lot of work, expect to be out of commission for 6-8 hours. Luckily there are plenty of restaurants in the same mall if needed. As others have mentioned, Sarah's tips are very helpful. Simple fixes like how to curl correctly or mixing purple shampoo with normal shampoo. Happy to have found her and remember cash only.

    Blonde ombré with minimal damage, love it so much!

    If you are looking for the best colorist in LA, look no further! Seola/Sarah is just genius at what she does. She can be as classic or creative as you want, is extremely detailed and devotes a lot of energy to making sure your hair turns out beautifully. The color is multidimensional, complex, fresh and flattering, supported by a wonderful flowy cut that gives your hair lots of swing and shape. In the end, you'll end up with something very pretty and fun, just as hair should be! Her practice is to give you a sustainable, low maintenance style so you only need to see her once every few months. It may not feel like it's more cost and time efficient when you're handing over your cash at the end of an all-day session, but trust me, I did the math and this really is a better deal all around. I was expecting amazing results based on her instagram, and she didn't disappoint. She has a scientific approach to hair, plus she gives you useful, practical advice on daily care. She shares great tips that are simple, straightforward and easy to follow. Grab a spot at Seolahair now while it's still possible to get appointments with her. She will be too famous one day soon and seeing her will become much harder. :)

    My hair was so damaged from previous salon to a point they couldn't even fix it. I visited 3 different salons in Korea and 2 different salons in Los Angeles. 4 of them rejected me and 1 of them told me that they will only do it if I sign the waiver. On the other hand, sera took a look at my hair, gave me the same reason why other salons rejected me but she said she will try her best to make it happen. As you can see the process photo, that's how she made it happen. She was extremely patient and very attentive. I'm 100% satisfied with the result and I get so many compliments everyday! Can't wait to go see her for the next touch up session!!!

    Sarah is by far the best colorist I've been to. I got full head highlights from her almost a year ago (May 2018) and still get compliments on the color. For reference, I'm Asian and have dark hair with red undertones - the blond in my hair still looks ashy and the blending is still amazing. The picture attached is from then. This weekend I went back and got a haircut from her and she killed it again! I love my haircut and will be back to get fresh color in a few months (before the summer wedding season). Can't wait!

    I am so luck to have found Sarah! I recently moved from Orange County to Koreatown and was in search of a new stylist. Sarah was an angel from heaven! Sarah was great about giving a consultation over email which I really liked, it gave room to no surprises. I can honestly say I received from Sarah the best haircut I've ever had. She didn't rush and spent a lot of time ensuring a perfect haircut. I also LOVE how she styled my hair, I try to get as many pointers as possible. We plan on taking my hair blonder soon, and I can't wait to see what kind of magic she works.

    Gaby G.

    Wow! I cannot stress how great Sarah is with her work. She knows what is good for your hair and what isn't. I went in there with roots and dye at the bottom of my. She let me know what her concerns were with my hair, and made sure I understood what the possible outcomes would be. The end result is just AMAZING! I absolutely love my hair. She not only knows what she's doing, but she is also super sweet. Sarah, I have found my new hair colorist in Cali. Thank you so much! Xx Please see before and after!

    I met with Sarah last summer and at that time, I was open to trying a new look. It's really difficult to find a skilled hair colorist who truly understands what you're looking for and can actually give you that look you had described. Sarah is amazing. Very knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. I really liked that she took the time to ask me what I wanted and gave me honest feedback. She walked me through each step and explained thoroughly the process. You can really see the amount of effort she puts into perfecting her work. I have naturally dark hair and Sarah was able to give me this seamless ombré. A beautiful sunkissed beach look, perfect for summer. I LOVED it. I was getting endless compliments from everywhere. I came back to her again in September to get a warmer color for winter. There's no other hair colorist I would trust. I HIGHLY recommend her. Her work is top notch. Thank you Sarah!

    I am so so happy with my new hair! SeolA is very thorough and made sure that every strand of hair was perfect. We've always had great conversation while she does my hair and I've received many compliments since she's colored my hair. Honestly, I don't do much to my hair at home and it still looks amazing! Thank you always for making my hair look great! You are a beauty magician

    Kim K.

    Wowowow is all I can say. Sarah is incredibly talented and I'm so happy I found her. I went into my appointment with a few pictures, but didn't know exactly what I wanted. I gave her the complete reigns to make a drastic change and I couldn't be happier with the results. She is super knowledgeable and thoroughly explains everything from the coloring process to how to properly curl your hair. Sarah is super sweet, welcoming and comfortable to talk to. I had such a great experience and would highly recommend anyone to her.

But when he asked me what hair cut I wanted and showed him a picture of a burst fade Mohawk and he proceeded to ask have you had this haircut before. Then I showed him a picture of me with the haircut I wanted (which was a burst fade Mohawk) and he proceeded to say "is that really you". This was at the beginning of the hair cut. Mid way he asked a second time if I had ever had this hair cut before which I answered yes. Also at the beginning he had mentioned how much are we taking off the top. I mentioned just a little bit and we can work our way down. When it came to cutting the top I feel he had gone too low. At that point I just wanted to get out of the chair. I waited 2 days to post this just to see if my hair needed to settle in since I went from a wild lions mane to what ever this short hair cut I have now. But no matter how much I attempt to style my hair it just looks dumb. My feedback to Hin is if you aren't confident in cutting someone's hair then please just say so. Or if your specialty is clean cuts then tell your client so they can make the decision of sitting in the chair. I may come back to try with someone else to cut my hair since I feel the people here have some skill.

When I first walked in, I thought, "ah this really is a no frills hair salon," and I'll admit I was a little nervous since it was my first time and I didn't know what to expect. As soon as I sat down, my nerves went away. Yuji was so gentle and attentive, and I felt really well taken care of. My appointment lasted about an hour and included a wash and cut. Parking is validated for up to two hours, which is definitely enough time. I was so happy with my results. I truly don't know how Yuji creates such magic with his hands! I'll be coming here from now on for my haircuts. Please show Yuji and Hair Craft your support by leaving a generous tip. An establishment like this that truly gives you high quality results for such a generous price deserves to be met with gratitude and good tips. Too many salons are charging an arm and a leg for a basic trim these days, and Hair Craft is not one of them. There were only 1-2 stylists working during my visit, so please be patient and make sure to book at least three weeks in advance. When I booked, they were already scheduled out for three weeks, and I overheard them telling other callers the same thing. Thankfully, it was absolutely worth the wait. I can't wait to come back and will definitely be booking with Yuji again. Thank you Hair Craft for such a wonderful experience!!!

It was my very first time with The Hideout Salon and not only was he understanding of any scheduling rearrangements we had to make, he also made sure to make it a point that we would be setting enough time aside for what we would anticipate needing so that when the time came, there would be zero rush along with top quality service which makes a huge difference in customer experience compared to factory booking which sacrifices quality, time, and attentiveness for squeezing in numbers, and as clients we all greatly appreciate this! While I was waiting Allie was very sweet and settled me in/welcomed me and offered me something to drink. The decor of the place felt very cozy and cute. If youre a dog lover you'll also be very happy to probably see a friendly cute Lil doggo named Carl (Karl?) comfortably shimmying his way around the shop (and if youre scared of dogs dont worry, he really just does his own thing Lol). Hes So darn cute and floofy. I came in for both a color and a consultation for a potential cut. Because I sometimes tend to notice/look at details that others may want to gloss over or perceive as me overanalyzing, it felt really difficult for me to explain to others how my recent haircut from another place just a month or two ago had specific lengths and cuts in specific areas going around my whole hair that had left my previous haircut feeling kind of "off" in certain ways and that I felt was giving my hair the very slight illusion of looking shorter than it actually really was and a little "choppy" in some areas, which then had an effect on how it framed my face/widened it instead of helping elongate it. But when I explained it to Daniel, he totally got it and even held up the individual sections that he agreed were causing those effects, why it was creating the effect that it was and how we would resolve it. I was so happy that he not only truly acknowledges and makes it important to understand where his clients are coming from (whether its concerns or goals etc) but that he also has such skill and knowledge to be able to fully do so and hit the nails right on the head. The color was also beautiful as well and because I wanted something that was healthier than permanent that would also give my hair a healthier appearance (ie shine, softness, gloss etc) he recommended the demi and also mentioned that it would make it easier down the road for me to go lighter if I ever wanted to. The color blended and matched so well with the rest of my hair and everything from the cut to the color made me feel like all of my goals were achieved. Everything Daniel did with my hair left me feeling so *Bonita*, and he was just such a joy to work with and an awesome person all around. Thank you Daniel for this lovely experience :) -------------------------------- Parking: Since the salon is in the heart of Downtown, its best to try and arrive a bit earlier than your appointment time and to be prepared for alot of one way streets and quickly turning into the available open public parking lots closeby before passing the salon (to avoid having to go further down in a circle to get back to the parking again). I believe there are 2 or 3 lots before you pull up to the salon that have big signs that say public parking. If youre driving towards the direction of the salon, out of the 3 the first one youll pass is just self-service/pay which was the one I parked in, and the other two have attendants as you pull up to the salon. Im not sure if both of those allow open access to all, so i will find out the next time I go again :) The front of the salon itself can be very easy to miss so just make sure to park before you even pass it on your GPS and youll see a small little sign over a door that says the Hideout salon when you walk up. There will be a door code for you to enter so just ask the salon for the door code in advance so that youre all set to go when you get there as well :)

I trusted his judgement, his suggestions, and his overall vision for my hair, and I'm so glad I did. This is the first time in my life I've walked out of a hair appointment with my expectations truly exceeded. I left The Hideout completely blown away by the results and didn't feel the need to tweak, adjust, or "fix" anything afterward, which is rare. Even the blow-dry/silk press combo lasted a full week. Daniel is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely lovely to spend time with. I've absolutely found my stylist and will 100% be back.
