My stylist, Amor is incredible. She delivers my vision perfectly every time and she's a joy to be around. Everyone at the salon is so sweet and accommodating; with a wide variety of clientele! I think you can find whatever you're looking for at this salon, book with Amor!

This is how my hair looked when I left 3

I recommend this place big time! The girl that did my hair did an amazing job and didn't mess it up like most people do when they have such a huge color correction to do! I called that very same day and got an appointment which every where else I called had zero room for same day appointments especially a color correction. So I was grateful! I will definitely be back to this place!

I was extremely happy with my haircut! Clay really listened to what I wanted, and it turned out similar to the references I gave him. I felt like I could trust Clay to talk me through what he was doing. Also, he took his time and I got a shampoo and style. My girlfriend swears by Jacqueline and she was the reason I switched from my last hair dresser.

After -- The red came out so vibrant and even!!

So, I've been forgetting to write a review for my experience here. Honestly, the best experience I've had yet with my hair. I'll start off with all the things awesome about my experience. It was affordable and reasonable for what I wanted, came out looking amazing, and made my hair feel and look healthier than it did before I got it done. All thanks to Britni! I wanted to get half of my hair bright red on one side and the other side black. I came in with a weird blue ombré. But I left with awesome, fun hair and I get compliments on it every time I'm out! She not only transformed my awkward colored greenish, blue hair (that hadn't been cut in over a year and a half), but made the lengthy process fun and exciting, and also relaxing. She was so fun to talk to, made sure I was informed about the upkeep with my hair, how to preserve the color in my hair, what to look for in shampoos/conditioners, and warned me about things like temperature of the water I wash my hair with and lots of other things too! She made my hair feel and look healthier (even though she had to bleach one whole side of my hair) I'm in love with my hair and random people say they love it all the time too! :D Touch ups are also always fun and relaxing and reasonably priced. Thanks Britini!!

This review is long overdue, mostly because my experience was awful enough and I didn't want to relive it by writing this, but I hope those who read this find it helpful when choosing a stylist and salon that is right for them. I have had my hair cut twice before by Abel and trusted him at this point. My college grad pics were coming up and I really wanted a layered hair cut with curtain bangs along with a rose gold balayage. I messaged Abel, showed him the reference photos of what I wanted, he said he could do it, and I booked the appointment. My appointment began at 2pm. He finished my hair a little past 9pm. I was there for over 7 hours, and that's not even the worst part. My hair was nothing like how I had asked for it at all. Instead of balayage, he did a whole head of streaky blonde highlights and attempted to tone it with a rose gold toner. To reiterate, I wanted balayage, not bleached hair with rose gold toner, but I thought he knew what he was doing so I didn't question it when he was doing the foils. I thought maybe different hair dressers have different methods for balayage. He rushed the cut at the end because of how long he took with the color, so there were no layers and it just looked like a blunt chop. Also no curtain bangs like I had asked. When I finally saw the finished color and cut, I was in shock and said it was much lighter than I had wanted and also that the rose gold was pretty faint. I also mentioned how there were some patches where the color didn't look blended, like you could see the line where it was foiled. He said he could schedule me to come in for some touch ups. Really? 7 hours at the salon and I still would need touch ups? I paid $350 + tip for a botched color and cut and literally had a mental breakdown in the car once I left. I was so upset and I had grad pics coming up and didn't know how I was going to fix this. The days following, I was in contact with the salon manager, Janelle, and had explained to her the situation. I showed her pics of what I asked for and what I ended up with. She offered me two options: another stylist could try to give me the color and cut that I wanted and they would give me $50 back / a $75 gift card... or they can get me back to natural and only refund me for the color so $265 refund. I will attach what she told me via text. I also spoke with her on the phone and we kept going in circles. I wanted them to get me back to natural and fix my haircut free of charge and issue a full refund. Not only did I have to sit in a chair for 7 hrs straight and come out with nothing near what I wanted, my hair was now overly bleached and damaged and it smelled like chemicals for days. She kept telling what she offered me was the best she could do. I asked to speak to the owner Clay, and she said he would say the same thing she was saying. It took a couple days to hear from him, but when I finally spoke to him he offered to get my hair back to natural and fix the cut himself free of charge and refund me for what I paid. He fixed it, and it was alright. Definitely better than what I had from Abel. When he was done, he pressured me to tip for the service. I never got my tip I gave Abel refunded, but I still tipped Clay and the assistant who styled my hair at the end because I didn't want to be rude. This was such an awful experience, I felt gaslighted by Janelle, I wasted so much of my time arguing with her and it was so frustrating trying to advocate for myself. I still spent money in tips for an end result that I didn't ask for nor was satisfied with. Please be careful booking with this salon. I'm sure every stylist is different, but it wasn't fair for Abel to say he could do the color I was asking for when in reality he couldn't. He should have been honest and referred me to another stylist who is better experienced with balayage / the result I was going for. It was pathetic and extremely unprofessional how Janelle acted and then to be pressured to tip after what I was put through was just unbelievable. Please see attached photos for what I wanted vs what I got, my text exchange with Abel explaining what I wanted, and my texts with Janelle.

Eva did my hair in love it. This picture doesn't do it any justice.

I was a little hesitant booking because I've had two digital perms before that I loved, and I had a…read morevery specific curl pattern in mind. I found Hair by Julianne Cho and was booked with Sumi, and I'm so glad I trusted her! Sumi was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive throughout the entire appointment. She actually recommended a softer, wavier perm, but I kept insisting I wanted it curlier (lol). She listened to exactly what I wanted while still giving me honest professional advice, which I really appreciated. She also recommended getting a haircut beforehand, and I'm SO glad I listened. I have really thick hair with a lot of density, and she spent about 40 minutes cutting it. She didn't rush at all and was so meticulous. She removed just enough weight while keeping my length, added beautiful long layers, and gave my hair so much more movement and dimension. The perm came out exactly how I was hoping! My hair feels so much lighter, the curls are beautiful, and I'm honestly obsessed with the result. I drove about an hour from the Valley, and it was 100% worth it. Parking was easy, the salon was clean and adorable, and they even had snacks and drinks for clients. Overall such a great experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to make the drive again. Thank you, Sumi!

I cannot say enough good things about this salon and Jennifer!!…read more I requested a same day appointment as I had botched hair extensions put in at another salon the day before. Jennifer agreed to accommodate me and even stayed after hours to work on me. She assessed my hair and decided what to do (we ended up removing 50% of the extensions -- the previous salon had added too much hair so she could charge me for more hair, which was one of the reasons I ended up looking like I was wearing a wig). Jennifer cut the width of the extensions and replaced them at the most natural position for my head shape, and blended everything together seamlessly. Jennifer, you are amazing!!! Thank you so much. I will definitely be back!

I love this place. It may be geographically inconvenient but when it comes to extensive cut that…read morerequires some skilled person to cut my complicated thick wavy hair, then I am willing to drive as early and as far to come here to get the right skilled person to do it right. You must make an appointment because their busy times varies. In fact, they never reveal their actual business hours. I've come on a Saturday when they're empty and I've come on a Wednesday when they're packed. A cut is $75, depending on the work done. That is considered cheap (at least for me because my hair is quite heavy, thick and wavy). Super thorough. Attention to details. And fabulous service. My only criticism is their style. They tend to make me look real Asian (fobby) but I don't mind that because I would go home right after and wash it off only to find super linear, fine, straight well done cut that doesn't require any maintenance thereafter. At most places, they tend to hide the flaws through the styles. Not at this place. What you see is what you get. Their business doesn't appear to be doing as good as I remembered, but that motivated me to finally write a review. They really are good and they won't disappoint.

Through the non-profit "Children with Hair Loss" Du Japon Hair Club was vetted for donations and is the only approved salon in the Los Angeles area. I met Yuki, who owns and operates this salon and also one of the best stylists I've had in my years of barbers. She is so nice and explained the process of the donation and also provided guidance on selecting the best hair cut for me. After looking at a few photos, I decided to go with a moderate cut to ease back into the general population. I was so happy with the results and would recommend Yuki to any of my friends. She will only take appointments and is the busiest during the weekend. I would recommend calling well in advance for your appointment, as she works generally towards the end of the week through the weekend.

Getting my haircut here was such a treat! There is a calm vibe to the salon, and the specialists I…read moremet are gems. It was my first wavy/curly haircut with specialists and I was lucky enough to meet Anya, who understands curly/wavy hair and the trial and error that comes with it. She asked questions to learn more about what I was looking for, and delivered! My hair has so much volume and personality with a flattering style for my face frame, and it's practical enough for me to work with on busy days. I mentioned some scalp concerns to Anya (who is a scalp specialist!) and was provided with information and possible solutions. So much care was given to cutting and styling my hair, despite being there beyond the offical closing time, yet, she did not rush me. Kiki, who worked with washing my hair and providing me with a blowout, provided explanations to products used and why. I was ready to fall asleep from the massage-like scalp/head cleanse during the shampoo stage. This is the first time I ever talked this much during my time at a salon! I really got to bond over shared interests with both Kiki and Anya. They worked their magic and are supportive, sweet and kind. I think I found a salon where I can transform, blossom and grow with people who genuinely care about their clients and hair.

I made an appointment with them 2 months back and unfortunately couldn't make it because I was…read morepregnant and I had extreme flare up of nausea and vomiting. I understand they have a cancellation policy and was told I would be charged 50%! 2 months later I made an appointment and I requested if they could waive the fee because I wasn't feeling good and it wasn't due to not just showing up. Not only did they say they can't do anything about it they now charged me 100% of the fee. First they said 50% then they said 100%! They didn't even ask if I want to use the card on file just went ahead and charged 100% I am just disappointed in how they are not understanding of when people can't make due to sickness or some things come up last minute and treating people crappy during pregnancy! Understanding goes a long way when you have a business! Take your business elsewhere where they don't treat returning customers like shit!

As a mom who has never gotten more than blond highlights, I called Hair with lots of questions. I'm terrible with names, but the woman I spoke to (salon manager, maybe?) was incredibly nice and helpful. On the day of my daughter's appointment, every person we interacted with was so kind and excited for her first salon experience. Other stylists came and asked her questions and treated her like an adult. Daniel was AMAZING! He not only took her inspo pic and made it a reality, but he also gave her tips about how to style it herself. The sweetest part was he asked what her favorite band was and it became a part of the music rotation the whole time we were there. Super funky and cool vibe for the whole salon, too. I watched other clients getting amazing color and cuts. Definitely will go back! From me: everyone was super rad AF. My daughter was so happy, my wife thought it looked fantastic, and I would easily spend the money to have a happy daughter/wife with the cool folks who know what they are doing and it looked great.
