I'm new to the area and it's always so hard to find a good new place to get exactly what you are looking for. I decided to book a hair cut and color service with Faith and it was hands down the best decision ever! She is so nice and I loved her energy! She not only nailed the color and cut but she went above and beyond listening and suggesting things that could help my hair issues. The before and after is insanely beautiful and I felt amazing leaving through those salon doors. Loved being in her chair and 1000% will rebook with her!! read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Dustin Hollenbeck for the past couple of years and I'm impressed every single time! My hair is the healthiest it's been in years. I have very long, thick hair, and Dustin always follows exactly how much I want taken off while adding the perfect amount of layers. I don't style my hair much, so it's easy for layers to look choppy, but with Dustin my hair always looks fuller, healthier, and has so much movement even without styling! He also has a great personality, and I always enjoy chatting with him during appointments. I've followed him from another salon and now drive quite a distance to see him, and it is so worth it! Highly recommend Dustin! read more

I have been going to Joey since last summer and I will never see anyone else! He is extremely talented and professional and has given me the best confidence with my hair. No exaggeration I get compliments on my haircut weekly even at the 10 week mark when I am due for a trim/touch up. He listens to what you want and is very helpful in figuring out what will work for you. I've never been able to find a hairdresser that I love and want to continue to see and he is worth every penny. The salon itself is beautiful and fun to visit. read more

Whether the stylist is kind or the environment feels comfortable is not the point. At the end of the day, I paid $600 for a result--and the result was not there I expressed that I was unhappy, and instead of fixing it immediately, I was told to wait 1-2 weeks to fit their schedule. That is not acceptable at this level. A correction should be handled promptly, not when it's convenient. I ended up going back to my previous stylist, who fixed my hair properly and made time for me right away. That's the difference. Also, charging $150 for a blow-dry that didn't even look professionally finished is unacceptable. I clearly explained what I wanted, showed reference photos, and asked for a basic service: blend my roots, manage my gray, and avoid a solid blonde look. Instead, I walked out with my gray hair looking even more visible than before. This was a waste of time, money, and effort. I will not be not returning read more

JILLIAN! She maintains an extremely high level of quality and professionalism that I think speaks to her as a person and a stylist. She ensures you leave her chair 100% satisfied every time. I love her and I love my hair. I had been getting my hair done for years by another stylist who has since departed, who recommended Jillian to me when I decided to go from copper to blonde. Another colorist said I wouldn't be able to maintain my length and be blonde, but that was not the case! I am no stranger to the process, as I have colored my hair both at home and professionally many times in my life. Jillian did a gradual color in order to maintain the integrity of my hair, and even after the first appointment it looked great. I now have the long, blonde, HEALTHY, hair of my dreams. She now colors and cuts me. I will never go to anyone else. Society has all around fantastic staff, period! read more

Society Salon is one of those places that always makes you feel special and I truly mean always. From the moment you walk in, it feels like it's your day. They absolutely understand customer service, and on top of that, they are incredibly talented when it comes to hair styling and color. I've come here for everything: color, haircuts, and blowouts, and I've never once left disappointed. Every visit feels thoughtful, intentional, and personalized. My most recent visit was for my birthday, and they went above and beyond. They surprised me with a birthday drink and a cupcake which was actually delicious and it honestly meant so much. Those little details make all the difference. Society is a memorable place filled with great, positive energy and so much love. You don't just leave with great hair you leave feeling celebrated. read more

God, my hair smells good. I was driving from the Bay Area and I was in NEED of a hair treatment. I was suffering from dandruff and itchy scalp and it was making me feel horrible. Every time I put a new black shirt on, the first thing I notice are small flakes that were fallen on the shoulders of my shirt. It was so frustrating to experience this for many months, I HAD to pull the trigger to book a scalp scrub treatment. As I was on Yelp looking for a good hair salon, Society was the first salon I clicked on. Praying that they had any openings within the next hour, I was lucky to find an opening and I claimed it immediately. The parking wasn't hard to find. Once I walked into the salon, I was greeted by a friendly gentleman who was determined to make sure I felt welcomed. I wasn't sure what his name was, but all I have to say is he was very nice and informative. After speaking with him about my appointment, he told me to go to a closet and pick out a robe to wear for my service. I asked what the robe was for and he said that it's just to protect my clothes so I thought this was pretty cool because this was the first salon I've been to that has taken into consideration of clothes getting damaged from getting hair serviced and styled. After grabbing my robe and sitting down to wait for my hairstylist, a man named Jacob approached me and greeted me. He was extremely friendly and we hit it off immediately. I expressed my concerns, which includes dandruff, dry scalp, and to not brush my hair too hard and he 'understood the assignment'. Jacob recommended me to try a couple products to help with my dry scalp and even introduced to me a lavender calming spray for my scalp which I immediately bought right after my appointment. Jacob and I were talking throughout the whole entire appointment and he made me feel very comfortable. Loved his energy and definitely coming back to see him when I'm out here again. read more

Michael Michael Michael, my hair angel! I've been transformed. I feel younger and prettier. The precision and craftwork put in to my transformation was top notch, it feels so natural and dimensional in the color tones, and even when I wear it up, it's got this glistening warm vibe that brightens my face. I've never had a hair color bring out and match my eye color before! I'm already booked for an upkeep in three months because I loved Michael's expertise with my hair. The salon was a delight, they had me put on a robe cover right away and I had no wait time to Michael's chair. They also were keeping watch that my beverage was quickly refilled, the cookies were an adorable touch although I couldn't eat them I felt respected and appreciated while being there for my transformation. And parking wasn't much of a hassle either! Also, dog friendly! Services Hair coloring Requested style I let him do his magic, he had 100% decision making of what to do; I think it's best to let the craft expert do their artistry. Specialties He's a color artist!

Update, I just left yet another west coast trip and as I sit here on the plane I'm still feeling so fabulous and fresh from seeing Jillian. She just gets it. The color, the cut, everything always looks so natural and effortless. Not only is she incredibly talented, she's also the sweetest and makes the whole experience so fun and relaxing always remembering how much I love the peppermint tea I always leave Society feeling like the best version of myself. Also, shout out to Joseph for a warm welcome and chatting about the cold weather we're missing back home... I am already looking forward to my next visit which hopefully is soon ‍ read more

I'm a regular at the salon and love the "everyone is welcome here" culture. From the moment I walk in until I leave, it's going to be a pampered experience. My regular stylist is Hannah for haircuts and blowouts and always leave feeling special. She listens to my ideas and gives sound advice to make my vision reality. Yesterday, Amel worked her talent and skill to give me the transformation I envisioned. When we had the consultation the week prior, she was honest and didn't over promise what could be achieved. Amel worked her skill on my mousie greying hair, and turned it into beautiful and stunning platinum highlights. I'm beyond thrilled with the result and loved working with Amel and her assistant Faith. read more

This is my go to salon in LA and Jillian is the best of the best! I fly back from the east coast every couple months just to get my cut and color done by her because I don't trust anyone else. I found her several years ago when I was still a bleach-and-tone blonde and had let my roots grow out a little too much... she took such good care of me in what I can only describe as a Moment of Need and got me back to a beautiful icy blonde. She's since shepherded me through many hair evolutions, from blonde to hot pink to strawberry blonde to brunette, and she really knows how to cut the perfect precision bob. Not only is she incredibly skilled, she's also so sweet, warm, and easy to talk to. She really makes the time spent sitting in the chair fly by. I can't recommend her highly enough! I also feel so supported and held when I'm greeted by Joseph at reception, I really feel like I'm home! Thank you Jillian + team!!!!! read more

AMEL MATHIS.....an absolute goddess, visionary and complete creative that made me feel right at home. This was a luxury hair experience that also--(thanks to Amel) felt like I was just meeting up with an old friend, even though I had never met her before. On top of this, she knew exactly what to do with my porous, naturally curly hair and NAILED the color. I will be recommending her to everyone I know, and to be honest it was one of the best few hours away from work I'd had in quite a long time. read more

Amel has an extraordinary amount of expertise in coloring hair. She understands the products well, and is always able to achieve the right color and tone depending on what I've requested. I've been coming back for 5 years because finding a colorist who can consistently create a beautiful blonde is rare! She is also a lovely person whom I always look forward to catching up with! read more

I've been coming to Amel for 2 years now and she has absolutely SAVED my hair!!! I first came in with over processed, brittle and blotchy highlights and she was able to not only color correct my hair for the blonde of my DREAMS, but ensure my hair stayed healthy, shiny and thick! I trust no one else with my hair! She always gives me consistently beautiful results! 12/10!!!! read more

After a lot of research, I came across Amel -- and I am so glad I did. I have long, thick, voluminous hair, and after a series of treatments that just didn't give me the results I was hoping for, I knew I needed a real transformation. When I came across Amel's profile, her work immediately caught my eye. Her styling, her technique, and the reviews made it very clear she knew exactly what she was doing. I felt like she was the right fit for my hair type, and I took a chance -- best decision I've made in a long time. From the moment I sat in her chair, Amel was nothing short of extraordinary. She took so much time to actually listen -- to understand not just what I wanted, but WHY I'd been unhappy with my hair for so long. No rushing, no brushing off my concerns. Just pure patience and genuine care. Her assistant Michael was equally wonderful and the two of them together worked absolute magic on my hair. Amel is truly an alchemist. The way she worked with color, texture, and technique is unlike anything I've experienced. She doesn't just cut and style -- she transforms. And she won't let you leave until YOU are happy. That alone says everything! I walked out feeling like extremely happy with my new hair. I have beautiful, healthy hair again and I'm so happy! read more

I've been seeing Jillian for years now, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair We've done every color imaginable over the years, and she's a true expert, especially when it comes to grey blending. She always keeps it soft, natural, and perfectly tailored so it grows out beautifully every time. My color has never looked better or more effortless. And her blowouts? Always flawless. Smooth, bouncy, and long-lasting! She somehow gets it perfect every single visit. Beyond her talent, she's just the best to sit with, consistent, professional, and always makes you feel taken care of. If you're looking for someone you can stick with long term, Jillian is it read more

I came in last week for a cut and color with Joey K. and let me tell you that I CANNOT WAIT to go back in 10 weeks again! He is so great at what he does and I left feeling so happy with my hair, listened to, and like he had taken such great time and care with me. As well, the whole process felt not only friendly but top-tier, the space was beautiful and parking was easy. Loving my new salon and my stylist Joey! read more

Oh My WOW - I've never felt more confident walking out of a salon. Michael really listens and understands what I want, and somehow makes it even better. My hair has never looked or felt this good. If you're looking for someone who cares about both the health and style of your hair, he's the absolute BEST!! Not to mention, the staff are very friendly and make sure I feel right at home. Follow up appt. is booked and I'm ready. read more

(Result was great but read through) Finally!! Jen was amazing from start to finish. It was my first time seeing her, and from the beginning she made me feel like she really cared about, and took the time to understand, what I was trying to achieve. Friendly, engaged, and honestly, the best hairdresser I've been to in a while! After visiting two others after moving to L.A. and being left disappointed -- I finally found my go to!! I'm sure she's amazing with any look, but if you're looking for someone to do your blonde, look no further. She is a master at it. Chefs kiss! Something to look out for though: their booking is a la carte and all the pricing is separate. Even a blow dry is separate... I agree with the reviews here--are we expected to walk out with wet hair? For a cut like mine, they often need to dry after the cut to see if layers need any adjustments, so it's like a forced extra charge. Also, highlights don't include any toner and gloss (+$130), or root shadow (+$130), so expect to pay another premium for all of that. (These are also like 15-minute treatments and who doesn't need toner after highlights?) I walked out an extra $300 than expected. Yikes. It does seem a bit like a bait and switch, since the average person doesn't know all the services their hair may need at booking before consult. Usually some of that is included in the highlight price, and if not, isn't that much more. I'll go back to Jen, but it's unfortunate that they've taken this approach, since I'll probably get my hair done less because of the expense. read more

Willie is hands down the best hair stylist I've ever been to, and I've been getting a full head of highlights for over 10 years now. I drive up from OC for him. He just gets exactly what I want and nails my color perfectly every time, which is my buttery beige neutral-toned blonde. AND with zero breakage!! The salon itself is gorgeous too, the front desk staff is always so sweet, the music is a vibe, and it even smells good in there lol. But most importantly.... I trust Willie with my life. He's also come through for some of my friends last minute during their hair emergencies and completely SAVED THE DAY!! I cannot recommend him enough, ESPECIALLY if you're blonde (or want to be). Truly the best!! read more

If you are even thinking about getting your hair colored - especially if you're a redhead or want to be one - stop scrolling and book with Amel immediately. She is truly on another level. I cannot express how much I look forward to my appointments with her. Walking into the salon feels like stepping into a burst of joy - everyone is warm, funny, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making you feel amazing. It's the kind of place where you instantly relax because you know you're in the best possible hands. And Amel's color work? Unmatched. Unreal. Magic. Reds are notoriously difficult - anyone who has tried to get the perfect red knows the struggle - but Amel just gets it. Every time. My color is rich, dimensional, vibrant, and somehow looks even better weeks later than when I walk out. My hair has never looked better. I live in Santa Monica and happily make the drive - and honestly, I'd drive twice as far without hesitation. She's worth every penny and then some. Amel doesn't just do my hair; she makes me feel taken care of. There's a reason I recommend her to everyone who compliments my color...and that happens a lot. If you want to love your hair more than you thought possible, go see her. You'll walk out feeling like the best version of yourself. You will not regret it - she's the real deal. read more

I have followed Santi around for over 6 years now to every salon he has been at (except when he left me for Florida) because of his expert cuts and coloring (omg hello, YES PLEASE, lived in color!!) and incredible banter and kindness. He is so attentive to detail in asking for what you want but also intuitive in his ability to offer advice or get creative if you let him. I am my best blonde because of Santi, even when I don't see him for 6 months at a time sometimes. BOOK HIM, and you'll find your forever hair dresser. Can't wait to work with him more while he's at Society!! read more

Willie is an absolute magician. I first started seeing him when I very reluctantly and sadly had to let go of being a bleach and tone because of the damage it was doing to my hair. And somehow he was able to transition me to a highlight without sacrificing the bright blondness that kept me tied to the platinum bleach and tone life for years. He's also an absolute delight to talk for hours! Can't recommend him enough! read more

I can't say enough good things about Amel! My hair was completely butchered before I found her, and she has truly brought it back to life. She not only fixed the damage but made it look and feel better than it has in years. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes the time to make sure you leave feeling confident and happy. She's an incredible colorist. On top of being incredibly talented, she's super friendly, easy to talk to, and makes every appointment such a relaxing, enjoyable experience. I'm so grateful I found her. shes been my go-to stylist for years now. Highly recommend. read more

I've gone to Joey twice now for a cut and color, and can't wait to go back. He's an absolute magician with the hair, and a gem of a human.

I religiously return to Anthony at Society Salon every 6-8 weeks so he can work his dark magic and make me look like a natural redhead (I have naturally dark brown/almost black hair that is starting to gray, and we don't have to bleach my hair to get this color). He's an insanely talented colorist/stylist who knows exactly what he's doing. Such a kind soul who always makes sure I'm comfortable, satisfied with the results and just vibing in general. I honestly look forward to go in for my refresh, bc I know I'm going to leave in love with my new color. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

I wanted to try something new since and it had been nearly a year since I had let my hair grow out decided to try out Society. I love Melrose and hadn't found a new stylist since moving from Palos Verdes Peninsuls thought this might be the place. My last cuts were fades and had a lot of hair. I waas told by a friend that a perm would look good on me. I had two perms from Amel and I have no idea what I got for what I paid for. Often felt rushed and forgotten about. Overpriced! The atmosphere was dry, the salon itself run down and dirty for its proximity to Melrose Triangle with many of the most exclusive designer boutiques. Everyone that I see now compliments my perm that I got at my most recent review :) read more

If you want hot girl hair, entrust in Jillian Sepe: your head/heart/lifesaver. It took me YEARS to find her mentor, Erin (see previous reviews), who moved to Hawaii about two or three years ago. I even wasted $500 in my early 20's at Sally Hershberger, and cried over the results. Fast forward to now, about a decade later, and Jillian is still my go-to savior. I know exactly what I want--perfectly-blended, buttery, Cali highlights--and Jillian delivers every time. Her work is so phenomenal that I'd still go to her even if she were awful to deal with. But she's a gift of a human being: sweet, fun, enjoyably genuine and captivating in conversation..a pleasant distraction for innately impatient patrons like me. The salon is in and of itself a blessing, with kind staff, multiple beverage options, and a recently-added dressing room. This new indulgence is beyond convenient and ideal for transitioning from "gym hair don't care" to date--or work--ready. Every time I exit Society, I instantly feel like I'm moving through a Hollywood slow-motion film: Blow-out, game on. There is hope in this world. read more
