I love the Surrender Salon!! My first time at the salon I decided to cut 10inches off my hair. Thats a huge step for me... I was linked up with DENISE - SHE IS AMAZING!! Honest, Precise, Creative and an all around top notch stylist! I suggest you always ask for her, but beware.... IF YOU TAKE MY APPOINTMENT WINDOW - we will have some words!! lol. GO TEAM DENISE!! I LOVE MY HAIR!! read more

She does an amazing job and really listens to what you are looking for. I am so glad I found this place on Yelp! read more

I'm compelled to write a review now with regards to their body sugaring services. On my first visit to the salon, I made an appointment and showed up early. Unfortunately, the technician was 20 minutes behind, so by the time 20 minutes had passed and my appointment was behind, I left. The owners of the salon wrote me a letter apologizing for the incident and offering me 50% off of my next service if I made a return visit. Very much in need of the service I came in for, I decided to make another appointment. I was seated and offered water (out of really cute goblets) and then the aesthetician, Ellie, came to see about me quickly. I went to her for a Brazilian, and she *TRULY* did not disappont. In fact, it was the kindest, least unpleasant hair removal process I'd ever undergone! Some areas she removed little by little, which meant far less pain...and in others, where you just want to 'get it over with", she did so. She also used pain mitigation techniques when she approached a particularly tender area, so that the after-effects of the sting didn't hurt like usual. And she's really funny too! I am very pleased with the end result of my return visit, and I'm glad I went back. I will ABSOLUTELY be returning for future services! read more

My child was in desperate need of a haircut. I was tired of going to other places, where the haircut wasn't how we'd ask for it. Luckily, SS provides children's haircuts. I've noticed a lot of salons in the general area do not. April cut my child's hair,and we couldn't have been happier. April,and the staff we knowledgeable,friendly and very personable. My child will be coming back for haircuts. read more

I love this place for my straight, frizzy hair and my husbands thick, big curled hair! I even started taking my son after too many bad cuts at other cheap walk in places. My favorite hair stylist (and owner!) is AMBER! She gets me... and she has done my husband's hair perfectly too! I love that they use all natural stuff, and even recommend other items unrelated to hair (i.e. essential oils to help with my health ailments, etc.) RONNIE is who cut my son's hair, and again, perfectly! So those two I can say are amazing! I also have gotten a pedicure there, and it was the full spa treatment and I was amazed the nail polish lasted 3+ weeks with no chipping, considering how rough I am with my feet! They do not cut corners! I also have done "sugar waxing" there with two ladies, one of which I think no longer is there, but the other (forgive me for forgetting her name, is the owner's mother), is very gentle and considerate of your wants! Very pleased with the care! LOVE SURRENDER! read more

Wanting to find local hair salon, I looked on Yelp for some reviews and decided to try out Surrender and I was not disappointed. I parked behind the salon and when I first entered, I got a very peaceful, warm vibe. There was soft music playing, the lighting wasn't blinding (like most other salons) and the people in the salons looked like real people....not supercharged, perky Barbie dolls. My stylist was a very talented girl named Marla who gave me a little history on the salon and the wholesome, healthy vibe the owners envisioned for it. The salon has a very vegan, natural feel to it and the products stocked don't contain any abrasive, harsh chemicals. When I first walked in I was offered some refreshments and had a mini consultation with Marla, my stylist who walked me through various options to get the look I was wanting. She did an amazing job on my hair and I have already booked an appointment to go back. Not only was Marla extremely talented, but she was so personable! I feel like outside of the salon we could be good friends and am really excited to go back soon. read more

I went here for the first time today and I am so incredibly happy. Ronnie is one of the kindest people I have ever met. He has a beautiful energy and made my experience wonderful! The place has a lot of organic products and he even used organic bleach. I got my hair cut, dyed with ombré Highlights. I am so in love with my new hair. I have never felt this good about getting my hair done. The staff is awesome and kid friendly. My 4 year old hung out the whole time and did so well. I highly recommend this place and Ronnie. read more

Surrender Salon - Skin Care Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

I was so happy to have found a place so close to home and with such good reviews, but unfortunately I didn't have the experience I wanted to have. First of all, I will begin by explaining that my review is based only on how satisfied I was with my hair after getting it done here. With that being said, the place is great looking inside, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the people I encountered were incredibly nice. Maybe other stylist are better than mine but I wouldn't know that. Yesterday, I was getting my engagement photos taken and all I wanted to get done was a blowout with soft curls and some volume. This sounds like a very simple hairstyle to me and in my opinion one that any stylist should have mastered. Since my hair is curly and long, I decided to get it done at this salon just to enjoy my day and not stress about having to do my own hair (which I could have done much better with all honesty). I can't really say that my hair is hard to manage, it's quite thin and it does straighter fairly easily but if not curled properly, the curls will fall. Priscilla was the girl that did my hair and sadly she ended up doing the curls about three times because they just wouldn't stay. She added so much product to my hair that my hair ended up feeling crunchy and looking dull. About two hours after leaving the salon, my hair looked frizzy and the curls had fallen. My hair looked so horrible and I wanted to cry because I had no time to fix my hair before the photo shoot since I was also getting my makeup done. With the few minutes I had left, I tried fixing my hair but I didn't have enough time to make it look just right, and all the product that was in my hair made it even harder to work with. Over all, I had a bad experience with my hair at this salon and I will never be going back or recommending this place to anyone. I really wish I could get my money back because that money was totally wasted. read more

I got my hair done by Ronnie, and I am beyond happy about the result I received. Ronnie listened what I wanted for my cut and perm, and my hair came out exactly how I wanted! I highly recommend him and will definitely be back! read more

I would like to give a review for Marla, a Surrender hair stylist. Marla has been doing my hair for about a year. In all of my interactions with her, she has been nothing but professional and polite. She's a perfectionist, and takes her time in making sure the customer is completely happy and satisfied with the results. Not to mention, she's a hoot! I was upset to read a negative review for her on Yelp. Marla is the LEAST likely of anyone I know to make racial remarks about anyone, ever. It's not her style or her personality. Aside from the fact that her boyfriend is American Indian, it would make no sense, professionally, for her to treat people in this manner. Marla's in the customer service industry, and loves her job. I must ask the question....why was this reviewer thinking about Marla and her "ignorance" on her wedding day? Something's up. Keep up the good work, Ms. Marla. Surrender is lucky to have you. read more

I'm so excited to have walked into this salon! They have the Devachan products and Marla has been trained by Devachan in Soho. I had my first haircut with Marla a couple of weeks ago and I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received on my curls. I have also come back for color and she used organic. This is perfect because I'm really trying to have a healthier and natural lifestyle. Please try this place. It's clean, everyone is friendly and the bathroom is so artistic you kinda spend time in there just staring at all the details. Just sayin... read more

Fail! Totally wanted to go get a wax and saw a cool check in for a $20 facial and figured why not!! Then they said their only yelp check in was for a hair cut lol ummm sorry but if you can't figure out what you're selling I'll keep my appointment at Bronzed Sugar instead lol read more

Just amazing. It took me an art show and a whole early morning shower to figure out what i'm going to say here. And those two words are it. Nah. People: sweet, open, helpful, constantly worried about my hydration level. ("anything to drink?") Place: cute, and well designed. The better to cut your hair with, my dear. Jamie: sweet, open but above all... trust worthy. after all, isn't that what you want from a person who is in charge of how you look to the world for the next 2 months or so (at least)? I did not worry one bit after i surrendered (get it?) my hair to Jamie. She KNEW what she was doing. Of course, it was (probably maybe) helpful that i had an idea of what i wanted and definetly made my mind about the general look. But Jamie made it golden! Love my hair. Love the way it sits even though i hav a whirl thingy at the back of my head that messed with all previous hair styles. I have a smile when i look in the mirror. (And that, my people of the interweb, is the most important part, as far as i'm concerned, of getting a new style.) Of course, it doesn't hurt that my boyfriend thinks it's hot and i got compliments at an art show all night. =) love it! read more

I was looking for a new stylist near my house...and I found a salon and stylist that I love. I called Surrender Salon to schedule an appointment. Gaby (very friendly) answered the phone and scheduled me with Jamie last Saturday. The consultation with Jamie was excellent. I have curly hair and she took the time to study the texture of my hair and gave me the perfect cut to wear straight or curly. The shampoo was extra nice (almost fell asleep), and when we were done, my hair was flat ironed to perfection. I felt like a million bucks, but did not have to spend nearly that much. My boyfriend and sister loved the hair. It was even better when I washed my hair and wore it curly for the first time with my new cut. It was awesome! Im excited to go back to this place and see Jamie again. The salon also does massage, facials, waxing, sauna and is adding to their fitness area. There were also a bunch of cool products for sale. I will definitely be back to sample some of the other perks besides a great cut. read more

This is such a good salon. Everyone is so nice and I have always been able to get a great hair cut. Amber is awesome and she always seems to know exactly how to make my hair perfect. I seem to get lucky and am usually able to squeeze in without an appointment as well. Positives 1. Great style and atmosphere 2. Great employees- Everyone makes you feel right at home 3. Amazing services- I get my hair done and my brows sugared. 4. They always use quality products Negative 1. maybe somewhat expensive- No problem with me because I think the quality is great. Overall this is a great place and I am so happy to have it in my neighborhood. read more

I found this amazing salon through Yelp. The reviews led me over there and I'm pleased as punch! I called to make an Appt and got in the following morning no problem and met with Amber. We discussed exactly what I've been craving for my hair and decided to go for it. The atmosphere is so chill and the decor is so unique. Amber really took the time to make sure we were on the same page on what I wanted to do and she didn't let me down. I would come back here again for sure. Great location and awesome service! I feel beautiful, thank you!! read more

Surrender Salon - Skin Care Near Me - Long Beach, California

My stylist moved to San Diego when I was in Spain last summer. I had been with her almost three years. I loved her to death. I thought about the news incessantly on the flight back and how I would go about finding someone new. Well, nine months later, my search has ended. Surrender Salon, you had me at "surrender." And surrender I did. I was first drawn to the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Yelp. 88 people can't be wrong! But I have to say, getting to the location the first time around wasn't easy. I had forgotten that to get to where they are, you need to take the freeway. Not always the most convenient at rush hour. Lucky for me I left with plenty of time to spare. I didn't get to send those last minute emails I'd hoped to from the parking lot with the extra time I expected to have, but, oh well. My stylist was Josie. She was extremely nice, courteous, and down to earth. I felt at ease with her immediately. She also read my mind as to what I wanted: a sweeping bang. She also read my mind, apparently, when she gave me the most awesome scalp massage ever. The woman has great fingers! When all was said and done, I can honestly say that my hair felt light, healthy, bouncy. And the layered cut took little off my length, which I wanted, but gave me more movement, which I also wanted. For the first time in months, I had compliments on my cut the next day. I'm keeping this salon and my stylist. Happy. Happy. Happy! read more

I've been meaning to write a review for the longest time. I have been going to Surrender salon now for about 4 months and each time get's better and better. I am pregnant and I wanted to keep my color during my pregnancy. I was attracted to this salon because I was looking for natural/organic products. I found this place on Yelp and I started seeing Marla. It is so refreshing to find someone who is super passionate about what they do. That is Marla. She genuinely cares about making people feel better about their hairstyle and also offers so much insightful information about new trends, chemical processes behind coloring and different techniques to try on your hair. Marla is very thorough and makes sure she understands your desires. She also provides very good recommendations when you don't really know what you are looking for. I also find it very cool that she is always trying to learn more to better herself and her clients. Since I have been seeing Marla, my hair is healthier than ever and I always come away from the salon feeling better about myself. I would definitely recommend Marla! read more

Any place that has a full 5-star rating on over 100 reviews is a winner in my book. Well, here's another 5-star review to add to the book! I've been here twice (most recent visit being three days ago) and I still can't believe that hair can look this good. Josie was my stylist for both trips and she did an amazing job of cutting my hair the exact way I wanted. cut/wash/style for women is $55 which I think is pretty fair. Plus you can't put a price on a full-5 star rating!! read more

Ok, I'm a girl. When my relationship is over, I get my hair cut. Thankfully, Chelsea was there to solve my hair woes and cheer me up. She patiently tackled all my curls and I left the chair with a smirk to match my sassy haircut. The salon itself has a relaxing, earthy atmosphere--it smells like sandlewood inside. For my fellow eco-freaks, they only use organic products like Pureology! Personally, I love Pureology shampoo so much I might still use it if it was made of baby seals. Hah just kidding friends.! I can't say anything bad about my experience at Surrender. I can't wait to get my hair cut again when Chelsea gets back from jetsetting! read more

This was an excellent bridesmaid gift to me, and a fine new addition to my list of places for self-improvement/indulgence. Surrender Salon. I needed a richer, darker brown shade to my hair color to liven things up (instead of my normal brown/ash color), and Jamie worked wonders on me. Jamie made me feel very comfortable that she knew what I was looking for in my color, and also gave my hair some bouncing curls and body, making my head look more voluptuous than the "wet cat" look I had when I walked in. I only wish I had more reasons to come down to this part of the Long Beach area for such pampering. read more

Ive been here twice now and had haircuts by April and Michelle. April is great and friendly. She really gave my long asian hair great layers and made it feel so silky soft! Michelle is awesome and she also gave me great layers and took off weight too! Ive been to other places in lb like rockin locks, d1 aversa, thairapy, etc to test them out... surrender is def the place! Great customer service and management. Its easy to make appointments-online or by phone-ive never felt like i didnt get enough service. Parking is at the back of the salon. read more

i've been here a few times already and have nothing bad to say about this place. it has a great ambiance and is always kept clean and nice. I love going here! so far i've only worked with jaime (hair) and robyn (brazillian) and they are both GREAT! jaime does my color, I've colored my hair so many times so many different colors and i have to say that Jaime is the BEST! For the brazilian they do sugaring. it is painful but its worth it. my hair doesnt grow back as fast and its even thinner! Robyn really makes you feel relaxed too. Absolutely LOVE this place! theres parking right in front for 30minute parking or you can park in the back. i love how they focus on natural products. LOVE IT! read more

I decided to come here since it was close to my house and had great reviews. First, the place and ambiance is very nice. The salon is very clean and welcoming. April cut my hair and she was great. She was very friendly and personable, took her time with my hair, and even showed me how to style my bangs afterwards (since I have no idea how to style my hair). I would definitely recommend April and Surrender Salon in general. The only downside for me was the price. Luckily I don't get my hair cut that often, so a little splurge every once in a while is fine. read more

I had my first CA haircut at Surrender Salon, and once again, the Yelper's didn't lead me astray! After passing this cute salon several times, I had decided Surrender Salon is probably where I would try...then I yelped & it was a no brainer! I walked in to schedule an appointment and was able to get in with Amber the following afternoon. I was running a little behind for my appointment, but she was flexible and so friendly. When I arrived, everyone in the salon made me feel comfortable and as I browsed around I realized the salon offered more than a traditional salon/spa. There is a boutique area with some great Eco friendly cosmetics & skin care lines. There is also a sauna and pilate's area in addition to the spa. My consult and haircut with Amber went great, and I love how my hair looks. Although the style isn't much different that I came in with, I would definitely trust her with an entirely new do. The prices were very reasonable for a nice salon. Amber also gave me a pass to try the sauna, so I will definitely be back soon. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Surrender Salon & Spa! read more

I've been going to Surrender for a little over a year and now that we've moved I started thinking of finding a new place. But I have to admit, I'm not finding many salons that compare. I'm addicted to Surrender. Anna is a great stylist - she helped me grow out some funky layers, then helped me go back to good layers, did my hair for our wedding. My husband has also been going to her and is completely addicted. She listens to what I want and gives a great scalp massage when she washes my hair. The salon itself is great - very tranquil. Zen style decor, chill/loungy music, no over-powering smells. And they live by their "health conscious beauty" slogan. Do I really think I can find a replacement for Anna & Surrender Salon?! Sigh... read more

I've never had a set stylist to cut and style my hair until now! I finally found someone who styles my hair perfectly!! Go to Ana!! She's awesome!! I was able to book an appointment with her the same evening. I'm definitely going back! Everyone's so welcoming and friendly!! =) I've driven passed this salon so many times and I've always been so curious about it. I'm so glad I finally gave it a try. My first visit went above and beyond my expectations. If you want fabulous hair and amazing service, go here!! I kid you not, you won't be disappointed!! read more

I had the BEST hair experience here EVER - hands down. If you have curly hair, I highly recommend making an appointment with Marla. She really is a curly hair specialist. The first thing she said to me when I sat down was, "tell me about your hair." I didn't even know what to say. Not once did any of my past stylists ask me to tell them about my hair. I think that just shows how much she takes the time to understand your hair. The atmosphere is chill, the people are nice, and the prices are great. I will most definitely be coming back again. **Since I wrote this review a couple years ago, I had to add a little note. Marla isn't working here anymore, but she now has her own place at Phenix Salon Suites across from the Lakewood mall. read more

I decided to give this place a try and I was happy I did. My appointment was with Michelle who did a great job cutting my hair. I'm always so scared to get a haircut because half the time, the stylist is always cutting off more hair that I like. Not Michelle! She assured me the whole time she wasn't snipping too much and I still had my long layered cut as requested. She took her time shampooing my hair, and blow drying it while styling it as well. Definitely will come back. read more

Update for Surrender... I had my wedding on 1/15/2012 (a Sunday) and Priscilla rocked it!!! I wanted a very classy Audrey Hepburn-ish do for my evening wedding. Priscilla was spot on! We had only one hair trial two months prior and the end result was lovely (see my profile pic..this is Priscilla's work on my wedding day). My three year old flower girl had her hair done for the big day as well, and it lasted all day through her running and jumping and, well, being a toddler during the event. I also brought my matron of honor and mother in law in to get manicures and my matron of honors manicure lasted three weeks (and she is a flight attendant so she uses her hands a lot..insert giggle!!) Plan on going back next week to get my hair cut and colored. read more

Thank you Amber for doing such a great job on correcting my bangs... Loving it !!!! I will definitely be back to see you. I made my appointment short notice and she was able to see me.... Clean and welcoming salon. just what I was looking for. See you in a few weeks. read more

I can absolutely say that I cannot live my life with out Jamie!! She truely is an artiste! I came in with super long, booooring hair and I wanted to get a new look with purple streaks, but I was so afraid to do something drastic and I didn't want anything too crazy because of where I work. But she transformed my look and I am soooo happy with it. Jamie has a natural instinct for this kinda stuff and I would not know what to do without her. The salon also offers other services, I highly recommend the facials and the sugar waxing! read more

Anna Segura is the best! The Surrender Staff: awesome personalities and don't carry that "I'm a hairstylist, i'm trendy and you're not-persona." Last appointment I had carried over into closing time & NONE of them seemed in any kind of rush to close down. They ALL stayed there 45min past closing with Anna & I talking about what we were going to have for dinner. The salon is serene and tranquil and the music isn't blasting like other salons in Long Beach. If I could give 6 stars-I would. :) read more

By far an amazing place full of talented hairstylist, make up artist and manicurist. Make an appointment. I have been coming here since 2008. I go to Jaime, she is absolutely a perfectionist when it comes to color and cut. I love all my do's. Here are a few of the many hairstyles all done by Jaime. All my pictures are from over the years I always come out feeling like a million bucks! read more

Once upon a time there was a little fizzy hair girl that so wished to have the most beautiful hair at the ball. But not matter what she did, or who she saw, her hair would never turn out the way she hoped. But one day she walked into a magical place where an all powerful hair wizard named Ronnie resided. She pleaded with the the wizard to help her hair. Ronnie smiled and listen to everything the little girl had to say and once she was done, Ronnie clapped his hands, picked up his magical brushed and set to work. In a matter of 2 hour the little fizzy hair girl was a foxy curl queen, ready to knock the socks off of everyone at that ball! Surrender Salon AKA transformation location, USA read more

I had my hair cut and styled by Josie at Surrender Salon recently. This was my first time at this salon -- the location is very convenient for folks in the Bixby Knolls area. I was very happy with how my hair turned out. Josie listened to what I wanted and the results were beyond what I expected. I'll definitely return. read more

One of my favorite local hair salons, been coming here for many years. Amber was able to get me a platinum blonde (she's great!) and I came back a year later to go blue black and blue tips ombré, it came out wonderful. I've gotten so many compliments from strangers and friends and family, thank you Tiffany! You're awesome, great personality, attentive & Patient. read more

Amber is fabulous! She did an amazing job cutting my hair - really listened to what I was looking for and I ended up with the best haircut I've had in a long time. Thanks Amber! read more

I loved loved loved getting my hair done by Tiffany! She's amazing and really helped me get to the hair color I wanted! Too bad I'm only here for work and won't be a regular . She really listens & worked with me through the whole process. She spent almost 8 hours on my hair!It was great talking to her as well; she's a great listener, that's always a plus. read more

I can't say anything but amazing things about this place! so professional, yet everyone is super nice! I had really long hair and wanted to just chop it all off to donate it so I was a bit nervous (my hair has never been shorter than my shoulders). I had an appointment with Priscilla and gave her some reference pictures but wasn't sure what would look the best for a pixie cut because of my facial structure and I just told her that I trusted her and to just do her thing. After the haircut and color... I'm more than pleased & I'm definitely going back to see her again! read more
