    Molly Y.

    I have been a client of BIANCA's for many years now and would never go to an other hair dresser. she is able to get my hair the palest and evenly toned ashy blonde every time even when there are many months and inches of roots between appointments. she does her best to--despite bleaching my hair-- do as little damage to it as possible (which if i'm being honest is not the norm with hair stylists). every time i leave my appointment i have much healthier feeling hair than i came in with. the overall experience and hours spent getting my hair as blonde as possible is truly a+. she always consults with me at length regarding the bleaching/toning processes she is going to use and we painstakingly pick the toner to use after it is lifted. as far as the hair cuts are concerned she always gives me exactly what i want-- taking off as little of the length as she can while still getting rid of my unhealthy split end hair. over the years i have gotten long layers, short layers, bobs, shags, bettie bangs, and more recently the au currant long hair straight across the bottom with fewer layers-- and each cut has been exactly what i had asked for at the time and every detail was carried out perfectly. she even spends like 20 minutes making sure my bangs are exactly the way i want. she is a skilled veteran stylist and is easy to talk to, knowing that it is inevitably a big part of her profession. honestly i have so much fun during the many hours it takes to do my hair at the fig on 3rd. bianca is very attentive to my comfort throughout. yes, the prices are higher than they might be at supercuts or whatever but personally my hair is not where i'm doing my penny pinching-- i want my hair to look good. the level of work i am looking to have done to my hair and care i want paid to it doesn't happen at a lower level salon. if i'm being straight up i get so many compliments on my hair all of the time and i always direct them to bianca. being platinum blonde takes maintenance and she always offers tips on how to keep my hair from getting brassy-- even offering to mix up a toner for me to bring home so i can touch up without having to come in. i have been dying my hair platinum blonde for 14 years now and have been to many hair stylists and once i started going to bianca it would never occur to me to book an appointment anywhere else.

    Round 2 for platinum blonde!
    Natalia A.

    I recently decided to go platinum blonde this summer from a lighter version of my natural black color. My stylist in the Bay Area told me it would take her *at least* four times to get it to the shade I wanted. Wow. That's a lot of treatment. Since I'm down in LA at least a week per month, I decided to give The Fig On Third a try. I looked at many, many salons on yelp and Bianca seemed to be the girl for the job. I was absolutely right. She is very thorough in her explanations of what to expect and how long treatment will take. My first dye job came out a warm blonde, but still much lighter than I expected for a first try. I just went back yesterday for round 2 and BOOM! Very cool tone, almost identical to the photo I showed her. I'm sure next round will be the one, if I even decide to go lighter. I'm so happy won the shade and the service at The Fig. I don't see how anyone cannot be happy with Bianca, since she's very straight forward about what to expect and does her job exceptionally well. From *at least* four treatment to done in 2? Damn right you'll see me at the Fig.

    I went to see Mandy Jo for some new color on a whim & walked out with perhaps my favorite dye job I've ever had. As someone who's been getting My Little Pony style hair color since '99 or so, that's saying a lot! I came in with hair with multiple faded colors, different levels of lift, some virgin grow out, and ends that have been bleached 6+ times. And yet, I got an amazing, bold creation, some trimming of the ends without losing my hard-fought length, and soft hair my fingers glide through. Brilliant. The salon itself is also quite nice & inviting, and all the staff were courteous & acted like I'd been coming there for years. I'll definitely be back.

    Here's my lovely transformation!
    Felicia R.

    Great salon, great staff! Nicole Adams helped me transform a grown out bleached ombré do, into a beautiful, icy, unicorn-like update! Her no nonsense approach was helpful and informative-I highly recommend Nicole if you want to update your look! See pics attached :) I Also love the feel of this salon, it's cool yet welcoming and not all pretentious.

    Hair after just under 2 weeks :/
    Heidi K.

    At first I was overly thrilled with my new hair! I've been debating dying my hair some sort of ombre color for awhile now and finally had the balls to do it. Thelma was great and I followed her advice on everything from not washing my hair every day and bought every product she recommended. Needless to say after all was said and done I spent almost $400 on everything including tip. Unfortunately to my dismay the purple washed out within a week but unfortunately since I waited an extra week to call bc I was too busy the week before they wouldn't help me out. I spoke with a manager who finally agreed to let me come in that day but I was too busy and could not come in. Also I would've still had to pay for the products they used which she basically said would probably wash out in a week again. The reason I went to a salon in the first place was to guarantee the color would not wash out within a week otherwise I would've just bought over the counter dye and had a friend do it. I asked to do it the following week when I wasn't so busy and interviewing for jobs but she would not let me. All in all if you aren't strapped for cash and can afford to shell out hundreds every 2 weeks than this is your place but next time I'll go somewhere else where they can guarantee my hair to last longer :/

    Gorgeous cut and partial Balayage by Nicole!!
    Camille H.

    I almost never write reviews, but I felt like after my experience at The Fig On Third it was only fair. Everyone working there is so friendly and helpful not to mention talented. I'm a natural brunette and have been wanting to go blonde for quite a while so I thought Balayage would be a nice natural way to make the transition. I had a cut and partial Balayage with Nicole and was super nervous about it, but.... Spoiler Alert: Nicole is amazing!! She truly listens to what you want and she doesn't try and sell you on any products. I absolutely love my hair and I'm going back in a month to finish my transition from brunette to blonde. If you're having any doubts about where to go look no further, The Fig On Third is where it's at!

    Teresa is the best!!!
    Pamela E.

    Teresa is amazing!!! It's been about a year since I've had a proper haircut and my head was looking like a mess. I was at the point where my hair was in a bun every single day. Just like every other girl, I came in saying I wanted to keep the length and just shape it up. I ended up getting the Fabuloso hair treatment and a cut, and I can honestly say, I can't remember the last time my hair looked this good. It was soft and shiny and my blowout lasted 4 days. Even after I washed and finger dried it, my hair looked amazing. A week later and I can't stop looking at my hair!

    Lob & color by the Hair Goddess Bianca.

    4/15/16 Update: Saw the Hair Fairy Bianca a month ago (yes, Im late.) So satisfied w/my new blonde locks!!! And reshape! Lol I'll be going back end of the month probably for light layers & new colour. Yeah, I said it. New colour! #StayTuned Ps: My blondie locks are on her page and I will also post a pic here for you yelpers! She's Petite, has green hair and slays hair!! Her name is Bianca, but for this particular review I'm gonna call her "B" because, she just did such a bangin ass job on my hair she deserves a nickname for this review. How me finding this salon happened. I was on the hunt for a hair salon that was close to me and not over priced. And YELP strategically placed this at the top of my list with a photo of a similar cut I was looking for. "Hmmm," I thought. The photo caught my eye, so I clicked on it. I was browsing thru the photos and came across another picture I liked and even though it wasn't what I was looking for I wanted to see if the yelper noted the stylist responsible for the cute look. "Styled by Bianca." Okay, Bianca it is. Next I found the salon via instagram and then while browsing that I was able to find more of Bianca's work. Convinced that she would be able to serve me up the textured bob and effortless beach wave style, I decided to give the salon a call. Phone rang, all the way to voicemail. Damnit! Lol. I left a message and not even an hour later my phone call was returned and I was even able to get an appointment that very week. How awesome is that!? The day after Thanksgiving, appointment at 12. I arrive show B what I wanted and over all goal (with color at a later date) and huntyyyyyyy she gave me that cut girl. Exactly what I wanted! She was so sweet and knowledgeable. And when she was done drying my hair she honored my request of the beachy wave look. While she was gently wanding my hair she also explained to me how I myself can achieve the look at home. Overall, if anyone is looking for a new hairstylist and wants someone who listens and explains what is going on while you're sitting in the chair Bianca is the stylist to see. The Fig Salon on third has exceptional stylists and fair prices. For me it was even better because it was just north from me, literally 10 minutes to drive up. So that was icing on the cake. I'm going back to get my hair colored by B and I cannot wait for the results. Oh yeah, I walked in the house and my boyfriend loves my new do.... Which matters a whole lot because he paid for it and has to look at me everyday as well as hear my mouth if I didn't like it! Ahaha.. I

    Cute waiting area.
    Michelle L.

    I'd been getting my hair cut by Nikki for a little over a year at another salon when news broke that she was opening her own place: The Fig On Third. How exciting! :) The salon is located on W 3rd St across from Ralph's and next to That Jean Shop. Unfortunately, they do not provide parking, but there's plenty of street parking on Sycamore Ave and Orange Dr. I love coming to this salon because it feels like visiting a friend's house. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is casual and fun. The decor is simple, yet creative. The front of the salon consists of stylists' stations on both walls and I noticed that everyone has their baby picture above their station - cute! You go down a short hallway, passing the room where they wash your hair, to reach the reception in the back. There's a waiting area with coffee, tea, water, and magazines. They also have FREE wifi so don't hesitate to ask for the login and password. As I said earlier, my stylist is the amazing Nikki! She's great at listening and bringing your vision of what you want your hair to look like to real life. I remember the first time she cut my hair, I told her I was going for a "60s, Mad Men look, but with a modern twist" and she did such a great job, I was more than happy to become a returning client. I also appreciate that she doesn't cut my hair too short when I tell her I prefer longer hair (I feel like a lot of stylists don't listen when you tell them this), plus her hair cuts grow out nicely. Prices are average for a salon in Mid-City West. TIP: if you do a Yelp check in via your smart phone, you get 10% off any salon service! I always walk out of The Fig with my hair looking fabulous and a big smile on my face.

    No fried ends or strange in-between stages.
    Danielle L.

    I found my home salon! It's taken my 7 months and three salon, all good enough, but not as good as The Fig. I won't tell you who I see, because I'm greedy. Also, I think they are all talented I can in a longtime brunette and left a fabulous red head. I have always been very scared on red. You really got to find the right shade to compliment skin tone and eyes. Well The Fig did just that and saved my hairs health too! Gorgeous locks all around. I recommend this place to anyone, especially newbies to the LA area (like me) looking for a great salon with talented stylist.

    Jackson W.

    I had my hair done by Hayley Nelson, and I don't know if I would trust anyone else to do a color again! Hayley was warm, welcoming, and above all, very attentive and understanding of what I wanted. She listened as I explained my thoughts, and then offered great insight into what would be the best plan of action. She knows hair, period. She knows what is best for what color, face shape, and texture/consistency. She will do her best to accommodate your needs while using her expertise to give you the best style desired. Hayley is incredibly personable, and after an hour in her chair you'll feel as if you've known her your whole life. She makes the "first-time client" experience non-intimidating and enjoyable.

    Scott R.

    Alexis is great -- she finds a nice balance between following my lead about what I'm looking for while also giving her own suggestions. I like to get aggressive with my hair style, try new things, etc... couldn't be happier with Alexis' work. The salon itself is dope too -- welcoming atmosphere and a refreshing interior design. And the prices are reasonable I think for the quality of service you're getting there.

    Rose gold Balayage by Thelma! She's the best!
    Jackie K.

    If you want to make a decision you won't ever regret, go see Thelma! She always listens to me, and knows exactly what she's doing. I always have a great time at The Fig because of this girl! It was a Friday night, and of course Thelma has places to be, but she stayed late and tended to my hair (thanks to Jacquie for helping with the blow dry too)! Thelma gave me the most gorgeous rose gold balayage. I was her canvas, and she rocked it! Trust me, I've been to boring and mediocre salons...and The Fig at Third is not one of them!

I found Anya on Reddit and came in on a nice Sunday to get a curly cut from her. She was super comfortable doing my hair and talking to me about what I wanted, and even made suggestions that went along with what my endgame was. I essentially told her I wanted to keep my bangs and my face framing little hair tendrils, and she can do what she wanted with the rest! From there, she asked questions such as how heavy my hair feels regularly/the last time I got it cut, if I like my hair to have volume or sit the way it is and mimicked with my hair how both versions looked, made observations and suggestions on where we could go. Honestly, this was the best experience I've had! She thinned out a lot of my hair as well since it gets pretty heavy for me, gave me a nice shape and my hair more personality, and even layers on the back to make everything more cohesive! Frankie was my wash tech (is that what they're called?) and she was great to talk to about books! She was also very cautious on making sure the water was just right for my scalp.
