This review is for Michelle. I was on a quest to find a new stylist as the last cut I got left me looking like my 2 year old took a pair of shears to my head. I found amazing reviews on Michelle and reached out. We had a FaceTime call first (she was going out of town) so she could see what needed to be fixed and I was able to hear what her plan would be to correct it. I loved it! I was on board and booked my appointment with her. The day of I sat in her chair and she proceeds to put her hands through my hair ... "ohhh yeahhhhh". We talked about the plan, she told me the steps she was going to do and proceeded to gingerly cut away. I also got a shampoo and blow-dry with my haircut. Loved that nice touch on massage! She left me looking 10/10 when she was done! She was so gracious telling me if there is something that needed to be fixed to let her know and she'd do what she could to get me in. I did make one quick trip back but that was not to her fault. We knew that we were going to have to do a grow out to really correct the issue since we are trying to save some length. I am that girl that either doesn't brush her hair in the morning (true story) and just makes sure it's laying nice by running some pomade over flyaways because I do not like using heat! OR I take 5 minutes and use that round brush blowdryer (get you one! so fast!) and the picture I posted was that day. I'm very happy with the results. She had alot to fix and she delivered! Coincidentally my aunt went to another butcher, I mean barber, I mean stylist and was in the same situation. I immediately sent her Michelle's info and she booked an appt. I dont think ive ever seen my aunts hair look SO cute!!! I recommend Michelle! She's thorough, sweet, accommodating and you are in great hands with her!!! read more

The Local Salon - thank you Michelle! - Hair Salons Near Me - Burbank, California

Listen, my hair and my time are two of the most important commodities in my life. When I have an appointment with Michelle I know my hair is gonna look amazing AND I'm going to enjoy every minute in the chair. Michelle gives great curly cuts and hot takes. She is a positive breath of fresh air and hair. She has a way of making everyone feel like they're her best friend. More points: - she will do whatever you ask, but also let you know if what you're requesting could damage your hair. - she's got the skill to handle most hair types (I've sent many a friend and acquaintance her way) - she is very good at subtle, natural color - she offers coffee - she's a good listener and great story teller I'm gonna wrap this review up. If I gush about Michelle much more my husband gonna start to worry. read more

Michelle is a gem of a human as well as a gem of a hair stylist. I came to her with a botched cut from another stylist, and we worked together to figure out the best plan to fix the issues. She was so kind about the whole thing and totally on the same page as I. I feel it's unfair to have someone clean up someone else's mistake, but she has been wonderful. And, my hair is looking so much better! So glad she's my stylist now- I know I'm in good hands. read more

I've lived in LA for 11 years and have gone through a number of hairdressers and haven't found my go-to until today. Michelle was so welcoming and did such an amazing job. I had super long hair and she asked all the right questions to make sure i left feeling good about my healthy trim. Happy to say I'm a new regular! read more

Michelle is the BEST at what she does. I went to chain salons for years and no one ever came close to Michelle's skill, attention to detail, and how well she takes care of you during your appointment. I get tons of compliments on my haircuts from her and can't recommend her enough! Plus, her studio is beautifully decorated and clean, she always has water and coffee available, and she's so friendly and fun to talk to. read more

Michelle is literally my angel. I came in with really long, dry, split ended hair, and I wasn't really too sure what to ask for, but she asked so many questions, and looked at all my references so thoroughly and patiently, and asked me what i liked about it, what i didn't, and what i liked about my hair and wanted to keep, and what i wanted to fix! and before we start cutting, she communicated what she'll do and really took time to explain what and what she was planning to do and what it would accomplish in the concerns of my hair. she's so sweet and talented. i'm so happy with my hair cut it's everything i wanted and more and it was the perfect experience, coming from a girl who's had so many bad haircuts i cry over for days. i love u michelle! read more

The Local Salon - my fresh and healthy hair :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Burbank, California

Michelle is an absolute gift! I cannot recommend her enough. I'm one of those people who essentially ignored their hair for a long time because I have no idea how to try something new or maintain it. I was intimidated by real haircare. Michelle has changed that. She's so approachable, supportive and talented. She helped guide me to a new look that I am absolutely in love with and I'm regularly complimented on. And sitting in her chair for a few hours to maintain it every month or so is such a treat. She is not only a magician with color, she is a genuinely kind and welcoming human being with an infectious energy that might be better than a cup of coffee. Now, she also cuts my husbands (very curly) hair and my wiggly 3 year old son's thick hair with patience and ease. TLDR: Michelle is magic. Go book her now. read more

Michelle is absolutely wonderful. She's completely transformed my hair. She's smart, kind, flexible, and so good at her craft. She's also very LGBTQ+ friendly! I am obsessed and will never get my hair cut anywhere else. read more

I used to hate getting my hair cut until I found Amy!! I've never really gone into the salon knowing exactly what I want to do with my hair but she always helps talk me through it and figure it out with me and it ALWAYS ends up looking SO GOOD! Now I get so excited to get my hair cut/dyed because she just does such an amazing job every time. read more

I have to say... Michelle is most officially my go-to hair stylist. I love how well she listens to all of my ideas and manages to give me the best hair results. I'm beyond happy with her cuts, and now I'm really happy with her color as well!! I wanted to lift my hair color before the summer, but I was so scared of burning my hair. The truth is, every other hair stylist I've been to always complains because I use cheap dye for my roots and they have a hard time lifting my color. So, they use a strong developer and fry my hair. Not Michelle. She had me come in to give her a hair sample, just so she could experiment with it. I came in, and she ended up doing a sort of balayage. She used a mild developer, so my hair is still healthy, and she manage to lift the color a lot more than I expected!! We have a set plan for future visits, and I have to say.... I've never felt more confident in a hair stylist and in my hair. My hair has gotten so healthy since I've first seen her--given, a good portion of that is also self-care. But she always has all of the suggestions, and she doesn't just go to the most expensive products. She really tries hard to find affordable products that work. Anyway, thanks for my new style, Michelle! You're the best. read more

The Local Salon - Michelle did my cut and color! Here's my root dye setting in. - Hair Salons Near Me - Burbank, California

If you are looking for an awesome haircut/color as well as a delightful person to chat with, then Michelle Hiatt at The Local Salon is your lady! She gave my hair the fresh boost that it needed and made the whole experience super comfortable and fun! I will definitely be going back to her for my next haircut and color and I highly recommend booking your next appointment with her! read more

Michelle is fantastic!! She listened to what I wanted - and when I wasn't sure, she gave me great suggestions! She has awesome energy, which made for a fun appointment! She was also super flexible and communicative. I can't wait to come back! read more

Having an event today and just needed to find someone who can trim my bangs without hacking them up. I didn't have a stylist and I'm happy to say that I do now!! The salon has a calm and relaxing vibe to it. Love the decor and the staff compliments the salon, too! They were sweet, kind and friendly, too that even my fiance made an appointment next week! Brittany is absolutely wonderful! She took the time to listen to my concerns because I have weird textured thick hair. She knew exactly what I wanted and trimmed my bangs perfectly! They look fantastic and I'm SO HAPPY that I don't have to wait two-three months after my trim to be the perfect length!!! Perfection! I can't wait to see her next month when I'll be getting a haircut and dye! I'm just happy that I will be able to just tell her to do what she wants and trust that she'll make me look great! Can't wait until my next visit! read more

The Local Salon - Perfection! Love my bangs!!!! Thanks Brittany! - Hair Salons Near Me - Burbank, California

Michelle is great with her professionalism, patience, and passion! My mother loves her new hairstyle very much, highly recommend!

This review is long overdue! I went to the Local Salon for the first time to get a cut right before the lockdown happened and I'm so glad I did. My stylist was Amy Edwards and boy oh boy, let me just tell you what an absolute GODDESS she is. I'm a bit of a salon hopper (sorry!) but mostly because I've never found a stylist who's made me really want to go back. I found that in Amy. At the start of my appointment, Amy sat down with me and actually LISTENED to what I wanted, what I disliked about my hair (naturally frizzy and poofy, no shape to it), and analyzed it to give me the best tips and products to use for MY hair. So often, I've had stylists suggest products that I'm sure typically work for the average person but I've never found a product that helped me until now. I went in asking for a fringe-y shag that would make me look and feel like a rockstar and Amy completely delivered! I literally left the salon with the best haircut I've ever had in my life. I purchased the Davines curl building serum off of Amy's recommendation and it is my HOLY GRAIL. I use it every single day and it actually gets rid of my frizz and lets my natural waves shine (and my natural hair actually looks great! Who would've known?) I used to straighten my hair every day but I haven't even touched any heating tools since I got my cut (in february). My hair has never looked or felt better and healthier. (Pics posted!) Not only is Amy incredibly talented, she was just so fun and easy to talk to. I believe Alison(?) was assisting that day too, and she was also super lovely and helped teach me tricks on styling/blow drying my hair. I had such a wonderful experience overall with everyone at this salon. Thank you Amy! I can't wait to go back. Hope you are all staying safe and healthy! read more

I had my first appointment with Michelle last month. We ddid a bayalage and cut. It had been 7 months since my last hair appointment. Best cut and color ever! I kept getting compliments over the following week. The color is right on with what I wanted. Her attention to detail is amazing. The cut also gave my fine, straight hair more life and volume than before. I love my hair so much! read more

I love this salon! And I love having Sarah as my hair stylist! I am a curly/natural hair girl, and have struggled my entire life to find someone who knows how to cut my hair. I had many hair cuts where the stylist would straighten my hair, then cut. Once washing, the hair cut didn't transfer to my curly hair AT ALL! Then at a certain point, I gave on finding someone I trusted, and went like 3 years without haircut. Then last year, I met Sarah, she gave me my first big chop, and it was life changing! I saw her again yesterday, and had a similar great experience. She really knows curly hair, how to cut it, style it, and shares many tips and tricks. Her prices are fair, and reasonable. My overall experience with The Local Salon has been satisfactory. Everyone is very nice, its clean, and making an appointment online was very easy. I think I have found a salon, and stylist, that I will continue to go to. Thank you! read more

I've gotten my hair done at The Local Salon a few times over the years and every time I'm beyond happy with my experience! I usually go to Taylor, who is a rockstar with hair and I've gotten incredible styles and cuts from her every visit. Today I had the pleasure of Miranda and she colored my hair for my wedding day. She too delivered exactly what I was looking for. You won't go wrong with choosing The Local Salon! read more

To say that coming back to The Local after quarantine was an amazing experience is an understatement. I felt safe with their precautions and could tell that the entire staff took safety (both theirs and their clients) very seriously. Even though I've been going to The Local for years, I saw Sarah Chaney for the first time and couldn't believe how perfect she interpreted what I wanted. I have blond hair (that was multiple shades after quarantine) and she blended it with all-over highlights that makes it look so natural and bright. And the cut she gave me was exactly what I wanted-- keep the length but get rid of what needs to go. She was super collaborative and open to ideas while also giving her professional advice when necessary. I can't say enough good things about this salon and its employees! read more

Kayleigh Irene Fiedler is a hair WIZARD. Like Dumbledore level. Her work is truly incredible. Her cuts look beautiful and then somehow get even better as your hair grows (months later even!!!). She uses color like an artist, finding just the right shades to blend into your dream hair. She is kind, funny, smart, and tells great stories while she works. The experience is even further elevated by the presence of her top notch assistant Erin! This duo truly make magic happen. We've been doing dramatic fantasy colors for almost a year and my hair is the healthiest it's even been. I was very nervous on my first visit to take my darker brown hair to a blonde so we could achieve bright "Ariel red", but Kayleigh's top priority is your hair's health and she does not cut corners. She is, quite simply, The Best. read more

My review is based on how the receptionist treated me. She said no to me like 5 times. So she didn't have time to even cut my bangs??? Really? What if that's all I wanted? Total snob and would not let me speak to my stylist after I asked several times. I had enough of her and I'm done ever coming here. I don't have to explain myself she knows how she spoke to me...like a total Clueless bitch. That's not nice. I've never been spoken to like that from front desk. My original review: They charge you 50 dollars if your late for your appointment!!! I had an appointment for highlights and I said ok instead can I just get it styled. She said no, not enough time. There was plenty of time. She didn't have to wash my hair, my hair was already washed but the girl was super rude on the phone and kept sayin no. They don't even remind you of your appointment or confirm like other salons. Updated: I DID NOT get any text message or email reminders of my appointment and yes I cussed her out because she had an attitude and I was literally outside the salon and she made me uncomfortable to the point of not wanting to come in. I reached my limit. I will change the review because I did not get charged after I wrote a bad review from one star to two. Also, why couldn't the stylist talk to me? That's not nice. I asked to speak with her and the girl wouldn't let me speak with her. I've attached a photo showing that I asked for a reminder of my appointment and did not get a reply. Luckily I did not get charged. read more

I ADORE every single stylist at The Local. There is not a stylist in there that you can't trust with your hair. The vibe is relaxed, it doesn't feel overly feminine or masculine, and it really feels like a family community in there. I've had my hair cut by Brittany, Sterling, and Kayleigh, and all of the cuts were perfection - yet I could also see each stylist's personal flare in there. I love getting my hair cut by confident and capable hairstylists! Brittany is a master with highlighting and made my hair a perfect, blended blonde. Later, when I was ready to get more adventurous, Kayleigh took me on my vivids adventure, where I've been for the past year. She is a wizard with hair and is fantastic to collaborate with. More than anything, every stylist at The Local is trustworthy. They're going to be real with you about your hair and your goals, because their priority is that your hair is healthy and you are happy! read more

Michelle is hands down the best hairstylist I've ever visited. I have struggled over the years finding someone who could work with my hair and devote the care and attention that Michelle offers. Michelle listens to what I'm looking for and even offers ideas of her own I didn't know I even wanted or were things I could ask for. She has brought out the best in my hair in every session I've had with her and each time I see her, I cannot wait to go back. I've since brought my mom to Michelle for appointments as well and have observed equally Michelle's dedication to her work. Michelle has also been extremely flexible with my schedule and is a true professional. I would recommend her highly to anyone! read more

Update May 2019: I have been seeing Kayleigh for almost 5 years now, so felt it was about time to update my review! I don't feel like I'm exaggerating in saying Kayleigh is one of the best hair stylists in LA! She is very knowledgeable about hair, and always takes the time to talk with you and give recommendations based off of what you are looking for. She has kept my hair in amazing shape through years of balayage, foils, and fantasy colors by focusing on my hair health, not just making it look good in the salon or instagram photos. She truly cares about each and every one of her clients, and understands when life gets in the way sometimes. Plus she makes every visit to the salon a fun experience rather than pure torture (cause sometimes salon visits can be the worst). I truly trust no one else more with the fine balance between keeping my hair looking good and healthy. I really can't say enough good things about Kayleigh or The Local Salon in general. I think the fact that I recommend them to anyone who mentions needing a haircut says it all. If you are in need of a fresh new do and live in the LA area you should 100% check out the Local Salon! You will have zero regrets I promise! ------------------------------------------------ I feel like this review is WAY long overdue and feel like I have written it so many times but have never actually posted it. When I moved to LA almost 4 years ago I was in desperate need of a good salon and a great stylist. After searching yelp I came across The Local Salon and Kayleigh and have never looked back! Kayleigh is without a doubt the most amazing stylist ever. Yes my opinion is incredibly biased but she has completely transformed my hair. Without her I would still have way too long, dry unhealthy hair and side bangs (not my best look). Now, my hair is the perfect length for me, blonder (than my natural dirty blonde color) and so much healthier! I trust her 100% with my hair that the majority of the time I just let her do what she wants. And that's HUGE for me. Plus I truly enjoy going to salon because Kayleigh has also become a great friend! I really can't say enough good things about Kayleigh or The Local Salon in general. I think the fact that I recommend them to anyone who mentions needing a haircut says it all. If you are in need of a fresh new do and live in the LA area you should 100% check out the Local Salon! You will have zero regrets I promise! read more

I absolutely ADORE this salon! My boyfriend has been a regular and he finally convinced me since I didn't have a salon in the area yet. Oh. My. GOD! I haven't been so happy with a haircut in such a long time. Ritchie did a fabulous job. At doing exactly what I wanted, while also making recommendations based on what he thought would look good. I came in for just a cut but he convinced me I needed a cool little shave out. I was super skeptical and nervous but I really couldn't be happier with how it looks! Yes to this salon and YESSSSSS to Ritchie! read more

First time here and was quite impressed. Everyone wore masks, the appointments were organized so as to keep all 6' apart and the salon itself is very nice and cozy. I liked it very much and am additionally happy with my haircut from having long hair for so long to a cut like Jamie Lee Curtis (my inspiration for my cut). Thank you Allison C. for a great job. read more

Allison (Alley) is an amazing stylist! I have been going to her for years and love my hair cut every time. So naturally, she was the best choice for my wedding hair. I am so so pleased with how it came out and have received so many compliments on how beautiful it looked. People still point out my hair in pictures from that day. I love Alleys work, work ethic, and personality as she is always great to chat with while getting my hair worked on. I have also seen the great color job and cut she has done for another friend and she is definitely the best. Not only is Allison amazing with hair, she is also great at makeup too. I also had her do my makeup for the wedding and I loved it so much, I wish I could have my makeup done like that everyday. Her attention to deal and blending were amazing. If you are looking for a new hairdresser/stylist or makeup artist, I highly recommend Allison. read more

I went into The Local Salon with a half-styled, incomplete haircut and an ugly corn-yellow hair color (which was from a year's worth of bleaching). I tried out another salon in downtown LA and recieved a horrible haircut, which led me back to The Local Salon. I have always had great experiences, whenver I got my hair styled at this salon and never had any conplaints. Today, I tried out a new stylist named Ritchie and he surpassed all of my expectations going in!! I asked him to correct my hairstyle, as well as complete the color process and dye my hair iceburg blue. I've never done such a drastic color change before, especially with such a bright, vibrant color. But, he showed me each step and explained how the color would initially take effect. He also gave me some helpful tips to keep the color in my hair longer. The whole process took about 5 hours; but, all I can say is, the wait was completely worth it!! Thank you Ritchie for a wonderfully bold, new look :) I definitely recommend him to anyone who's looking for great quality hair!! read more

The Local has 5 Stars for a reason!!!! Desperate to fix a haircut gone wrong, I searched on Yelp for a salon near my home. Not any salon, a five star because I wasn't about to take any more chances. Well, my prayers were answered when I found The Local Salon. The salon was already closed since it was late at night. However, they have a convenient way of booking through text with Ruby, their smart assistant! Thumbs up for that, it was super easy to book my appt. to see Ritchie. Sooo here came the day I was anxious for, haircut time! I quickly found meter parking outside, walked in and was greeted right away by the receptionist. Meeting Ritchie was awesome, he was welcoming and assured me that I was in good hands. He's very down to Earth and a true professional. He gave me exactly what I asked for and styled it so I'm ready to conquer the day! Ritchie saved my hair, I LOVE IT! I will definitely be back!!! If you're reading this review and wondering if you should step into The Local for a new look or looking for your go-to hair salon-- look NO further! This place IS IT!

My hair was a hot mess. A. HOT. MESS. Between moving cross country, a lot of pool swimming this summer, and a crazy work schedule - I had not had time to handle the faded, tired mop on top of my head. In comes Kayleigh and The Local Salon. I used Yelp to find them (thanks, Yelp!) and gave them a call to see when I could get into have my disasterhair fixed. The receptionist was really thoughtful and asked a lot of detailed questions about the style I was looking for. She then matched me with Kayleigh Irene - and, even got me in on a Saturday (which I hear is pretty damn hard, given how busy they are.) My experience with Kayleigh was great! She listened carefully to what I was thinking for color and hair. She had my reference pictures all ready to go and talked with me about what she thought would work and what she thought would not work. She was very friendly and I enjoyed chatting with her while she was working. She also took a lot of time to explain how she was cutting and how it would change/impact the way that I style my own hair. She also told me about a few new products I am going to be trying out as soon as I can get my hands on them. In the end, Kayleigh basically READ MY MIND and gave me the exact color and cut I had envisioned in my mind. It was an exceptional experience and I have found my LA spot and stylist. Thank you!!! read more

The only 3 words you need to know. In your life. Ever. Kayleigh. Irene. Fiedler. Seriously the best hair stylist, and human being, in the entire world. I've been going to Kayleigh for 3 years now and I'll never stop. Even if I move to Antarctica, I'll fly back to Los Angeles every few months to get my hair done by this brilliant wizard of everything. Just look at the photos I posted of the work she has done on my hair over the years. They speak for themselves. On top of all this, the salon itself is phenomenal. Fun people, lovely atmosphere, great location (right in the NoHo Arts District, surrounded by cute shops and restaurants.) If you want to look like a brilliant unicorn, book Kayleigh and do it NOW. Your life will be forever changed. read more

I went to Sara for a deva cut and i love it so SO MUCH. I went in with a picture of what I had in mind and we discussed it and what i walked away with was so much better than what i had in my head. She even showed me a different way to "dry" my hair (microfiber towels y'all). She even recommended another stylist in her salon for "fantasy" colors (purples and blues). This salon (and Sarah specifically) come highly recommended. I love my new hairs. read more

I have been to this salon three times and not once has my appointment been taken on time, even when I had the first appointment of the day. They always give you the same line about how "you're welcome to go down the street for coffee or juice while you wait." It's obvious they're used to doing to this to people. The parking is metered only, so this is super annoying. At my last salon, they would literally go out to the meter and refill it for you when you were doing a long process (if my stylist hadn't relocated to NYC, I would have stayed there forever). The first guy who cut my hair spent the whole time getting his scissors stuck in a hoop earring on a new piercing, to the point that it was throbbing when I left. I have 8 piercings in my ears and this has never happened. Even though the cut was good, I changed stylists. Next: I'm a woman with short hair. I've had two visits with the new stylist, and both times she made comments about gender, saying something "masculine" or "hyper androgynous" would suit me. And she's only ever used male references to describe what my look should be. It feels really weird to have a stranger tell you that you're androgynous or masculine or feminine. Not ask you if that's your style, but just assume that short hair = masculine woman. On top of that, she gave me the literal worst haircut I have ever had. After she cut my hair pixie short (ie would dry in 5 minutes under a blow dryer), this stylist sat me in a dryer chair for almost 30 minutes. She claimed that this was to "add texture" to my straight hair, which makes no sense to me and had zero effect at all. Plus, the entire time I'm stuck under this dryer, I can see her taking another client, which makes me think the style thing was BS and that she just double-booked herself. Plus, the whole time, I'm constantly watching the clock because I'm at a meter. I eventually just took the dryer off my own head because it was burning hot and tried to get someone's attention so I could let them know this was weird. When she finally got me in the chair again she apologized for "the extra few minutes" and blamed me, saying she "didn't think my hair would take so long to dry." Excuse me, I JUST WATCHED YOU cut someone else's hair! On top of a weird experience, this haircut is hideous. My friends have all commented on how bad it is and literally every time I catch my reflection I cringe. It doesn't style well, it sticks out in weird place, and is growing out worse instead of better. The bangs are choppy and do this weird upward dip in the middle so it looks like I did them myself. I'm all for an edgy look and am not afraid to try new things, but I have never been so self conscious in a haircut. My elementary students have even commented on how bad it is. I would come in for a fix, but I honestly don't want anyone in this salon touching my hair again. To be fair, I started here because a friend told me she loved this place and this stylist. I don't know what the discrepancy is--maybe she's not comfortable with short hair, maybe she can't get out from behind this weird image she has of me as a super masculine woman??? All I can say is that my friend swears by her and I've been swearing at her. read more
