Nice location. Service is great specially by Lauren. Good haircuts, treatments and hair styling. Thank you!

The area is ghetto looking definitely not in the better part of uptown Whittier. The shampoo bowls don't seem to work water just sprays all over the place not a relaxing experience read more

Lauren Ramos is a life saver !!! Walk in customer she assisted with no hesitation at all!! Extremely highly recommended

Found this salon on yelp, asked for a consultation and got an appointment the same day. Went from black hair to copper in one session with Victor and every step was amazing. I mentioned I got a perm 6 month prior so we did a test strip in order to ensure my hair would take the bleach. I felt comfortable throughout every step, and extremely happy with the results! Did a cut, color and treatment. Will be my new home salon! read more

They're extremely unprofessional here. Not honoring their own quoted prices, not explaining pricing throughout the appointment, and just being overall rude and shady. Don't recommend, avoid at all costs. Was so good when they were Affinity... what a shame. read more

I just had my hair cut and colored by Erika, and I honestly couldn't be happier. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted and took her time to make sure i was happy with my service. hermina also cut my daughters hair and made her look her best. Solace definitely is the place for me read more

I asked the day of for haircut availability, I got a quick response back and managed to get a spot. They graciously offered me drinks and snacks! I ended cutting my hair with Victor who was amazing! I genuinely haven't seen my hair this shiny in so long. My length was just right, and the way my head feels lighter is amazing. I will definitely be coming back again, it's a cute spot for sure! read more

Herminia always makes my vision come to life From the ambience to the service, will definitely recommend Solace Hair studio. Excited for my next self care day read more

I used to love Affinity, and I was really sad when I found out it had closed. When I heard it was under new management, I decided to schedule an appointment and give it a try. I received a confirmation, but when I arrived, the place was closed. I called and texted, but no one answered or returned my call. I even had two appointments scheduled. I'm really disappointed. read more

Giving this place a chance, despite the little reviews it has, was a big mistake. Whoever I spoke with through Yelp knew exactly what I wanted: a layered hair cut + wispy bangs + my hair dyed a copper brown tone, but if it wasn't possible to do copper brown, then I'd settle for a dark brown that could possibly hide any remaining color I had from my previously box dyed hair. Whoever runs the Yelp quoted a starting price of $170 for a full color + haircut + blow dry. So although the quote was $170, I understood that it could cost more if they had to work some magic to get me the preferred copper brown! When the person showed up, they didn't know what I wanted, which was strange because I thought I made myself very clear on Yelp with the person I chatted with, but I guess my appointment was not with who I was chatting with and they might have not relayed the information? So I repeated exactly what I said on Yelp and explained that I had previously used box hair dye, which I hadn't done again in 6 months. The hair stylist looked at my hair and almost instantly suggested a balayage. I told him I did not know what a balayage was, but he showed me a picture and said he wanted to do something that would look really good with my skin tone and I trusted him because I know nothing about hair styles. I was so eager for a change too. At the moment, I had no idea how costly a casual suggestion would be and wish the big change in pricing had been made clear. As he was doing my hair, he also said he was going to give me a hair treatment that I really needed, I said okay, but as he walked away to get the stuff, he nonchalantly said it was an additional $65 dollars. I almost didn't want to get it, but he convinced me I needed it (which I most likely did) and dropped the price down to $50, so I agreed. In the end, I knew I wasn't getting what I had originally asked for, but I thought hey, this guy is really nice and if this guy says it'll look good, I give him my full trust 100%!!! Especially because I hadn't had my hair cut in 1.5 years and I had never had my hair professionally dyed! Once we finished, I walk up to the counter, he starts ringing me up, and says the balayage alone was like ~$285-295. Wow. I began to disassociate. I felt like such a fool for not realizing that the first thing he casually suggested for my hair would be so costly. Somehow, the balayage + hair cut + treatment totaled to $515. Keep in mind that I had also already made a $30 dollar deposit for the appointment. If we do the math, let's just round the balayage to $300. So $515-$300 = $215. Minus the hair treatment which he said was $50. $215-$50= $165. That means I was charged well more than $140 for a haircut when I was originally quoted $170 for a hair color + hair cut + blow dry combined? What kind of hair cut did I get without my knowledge? And if I hadn't mentioned that I already made a $30 deposit, I would have walked out of there with $545 less in my bank account, but instead, overall (including deposit) I paid $510 total for the services. At the moment when he ringed me up, I was so upset and tried to maintain my composure. I felt like my ignorance with hair salons was taken advantage of. I felt like the biggest fool on this planet. All I wanted to do was pay and run out of that place, which I basically did, and as soon as I got to my car, I started to cry :'( Let me just end this by saying, I DO NOT hate the hair. It's different than what I wanted but I can say it's still beautiful. Should I have asked how much a balayage was? Looking back, 100% yes! But did I ever think, for a second, I'd be suggested a hair styling technique that would end up costing me nearly $300 alone at checkout? Never would have crossed my mind. Had I known how much more it would cost than the original quote, I would have never agreed to it. I may not hate the hair, but it's the principle. I think transparency is really important, especially if your client has never heard of the method you're suggesting and has never had their hair professionally dyed. At one point I was even excited to recommend this place to friends and family. Instead, I left feeling so upset, like I had just walked out of a mechanic shop, where you go in for an oil change and somehow leave with a bill for new brakes, tires, and a transmission flush you never planned for. I'll take this as a learning lesson and move on with my life, but I honestly had to write a review because what happened didn't sit right with me and I wouldn't want it to happen to someone else new to salon culture. read more

Let me start by saying this is not a reflection of the salon itself but of hair stylist Victor. I reached out to the salon via the Yelp app. I asked if they had someone familiar with cutting curly hair. They assured me they did and a cut would be $50, $75 with a blowout. When I met Victor he was cordial, far from warm. He attempted to persuade me into a treatment for my dry ends for $60, then he would cut the ends off. I tried to clarify, he would treat the ends then cut them off for an additional $60? Sounded weird so I declined, he was not happy. I showed him a pic of what I wanted, it was of me and how I wanted my hair cut. He was pretty silent during the wash and cut. When I asked to go a little shorter he informed me that would be an additional new haircut. The cut itself is $95. I gasped. I was quoted $50 on the Yelp app conversation. He said everyone is different and curly hair is delicate & difficult to cut. He was getting pretty rude about it. Paying was another issue. He did not know how to work the charger. We stood in awkward silence til someone arrived to help. I was in and out within the hour and I will not be back. On a positive note, the salon was cute, clean, and the young lady working the front was delightful. They have since then reached out to credit me a portion back. That was very kind. Unfortunately, I will not be back. read more
