I am so loving my Tom Brophy makeover. 2 weeks ago I shed about 7 inches of hair. It was sooo empowering, and yet, sassy... and trust me, I've never done sassy well. Now, I'm totally sass-i-fied. But here's the best part, the big question before scissors hit hair shaft was: Can I maintain this on my own without reaching for the baseball cap/scarf/scrunchie. The answer... a resounding YEP. I wake up in the morning, spring out of bed, shake and toss my hair from side to side and voila, runway ready. Seriously. Thats a testament to a great cut. THANK YOU JENNIFER. Also, the salon carries these great products including the LOVING line which is perfect for coarse, wavy, curly, frizzy hair. AND despite the pricy real estate of the area, product and service prices are really affordable. Did I mention the colorist? Michelle, who sports a fantastic red that she customized for herself, is amazing. I've gone to her for various shades of red and highlights!!! Walked out of there with enough money left over to pay for BH parking and a Starbucks LOL read more

Tom Brophy has cut my hair many times over the years, but not for 5 years since I moved out of the area. I was in LA in need of a cut and fortunately he was available. I let him do whatever he thought best and got the best cut of my life, as well as his delightful company. Tom is a master, does a perfect precision cut and just the right amount of product. The result was hair with lots of easy movement and so sharp! I am happy. His place is right across from Sak's in BH, so that was fun too. As I live in Mammoth Lakes, the BH experience was a hoot. read more

Thank you, Rena! I think this is the first time in my life that I've been happy with my hair! Service, ambience, mood, shampoo, music--all stellar. read more

Went to Tom for the first time today and it won't be the last! Based on a recommendation from a friend, I went with her pushing me into the front door, but I have to say, it was fantastic! My hair looks amazing! I have horrible hair too - or I should say HAD. It was so bad I cut it short, then the ends went bad again and I was considering a wig actually. I don't know how Tom did what he did but he cut it so it just falls the right way. I wake up looking good too! He showed me how to style it with his magic brush (I had to get one - made a huge difference) I also bought this hair balm called Love, and it is fabulous. I threw away my drawer of styling products that just dried my hair out. Tom is just a lovely guy and very talented. He kept brushing and brushing my hair - ooooohhhhh ahhhhhhh so nice...... I will be back to see him from now on! read more

Great place No1 is allowed to touch my hair accept them Don't go anywhere else they k kw what they are doing read more

My son's, Michael and Alex (friends of Jon C. for years), ONLY have their haircuts with Jon C.!! He is the best! I'm scheduled for a fixer-upper cut with Jon C. Should have learned from the first fixer-upper?. I usually have Jon cut my hair and am never disappointed. His sense of "real" style and just knowing what looks good on anyone is uncanny. This time I didn't want to drive out to BH and now I don't have a choice! I had my hair trimmed at our local salon in Diamond Bar and it went a lot further than a trim and now it looks like a third rate cut. Just a few cuts short of a mullet. I got what I paid for. Fast and cheap. "Stylists" w/ no real sense of style suck!! When "stylists" pull out their haircut/styling picture books from the1990's, that should send up a red flag! Bottom line, Jon C. is always worth the drive and I should have known better.....idiot! Jon C. rocks!! read more

Great salon....elegant, unpretencious and with amazing service. Tom greets everyone and makes sure you feel welcome. Michelle did my color and was so meticulous in ensuring it was perfect. Jonathan did my cut -he took his time, great attention to detail and explained everything he did. I walked out of there looking fabulous. read more

Courtney was great with my hair color. She gave great recommendations and was very easy to talk to. My cut, however, was not that good. The salon should really ask each person what style they want and ask if they want their hair straightened with a straightener or curled with a curler. The girl cut my hair okay and blow dried it straight. Honestly, she should've stopped there. She continued to straighten my hair with a straigtener when it was already straight making my hair look flat and thin. I walked out of there looking like a 5 year old. The "best" part is that the haircut came out to $80. Like wow, talk about overpriced. read more

I went to Tom Brophy salon for a Brazilian Blowout. this past weekend. Although I had some difficulty finding the place, the receptionist was very helpful in providing me phone directions. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. Tom came up to me and introduced himself right away. I found that to be very professional. The salon itself is very clean and very modern. They had these beautiful white orchids decorated throughout the salon....I absolutely loved them. Jon was the Stylist who worked on my hair. He was very professional and explained the entire process to me. The service here was top notch. Jon even went to feed my parking meter while I was 'processing' (he did that twice!.....the meter limit was 1 hour). I later found out there's a parking lot in the back of the salon that you can pay $5 for all day parking. I obviously didn't know until after the fact. The entire BB process was about 2 hours from start to finish. I was so happy with the results. I will definitely be going back. I highly recommend this place. read more

The best experience I've ever had in my life by a long shot! Complete strangers have complimented me on my hairstyle... as sculpted by the master artist ZOE!!!! The owner and all staff were also super friendly and professional. Highly recommend if you want to look and feel like a million bucks!!! read more

Jonathan C is a rock star. Amazing work. Moved over from Venice because he was so in demand.

I would suggest going to Tom Brophy for any hair related service. I have had my hair cut there by Melissa who does a fantastic job and just got the brazillian treatment by Michelle, Ive never been happier with my hair! Tom is a cool guy and always greets and talks to me to make sure everything went great and the receptionists are super friendly as well. A++ read more

Love love love this salon. RENA, SHAYNA & JESSICA were phenomenal. They transformed my whole look and made my experience extra special. My hair is still flourishing and it's been almost three months!! read more

Straight up best staff and best salon in Los Angeles! The staff is extremely professional and intelligible about their craft and the owner Tom Brophy is so polite and helpful. Everyone here has such a great energy and when you walk out you feel like a million bucks. I have been coming here for a few years now and I've seen several of the stylist and colorists here. Shayna is a great colorist and really knows what she's doing, and I have also recently went to Bryan who knows how to craft a beautiful blonde. I've gotten cuts from Tom, Rex, and Zoe and they have all equally done a beautiful job, and I am always open to book with anyone for cuts. This salon makes me feel at home and so welcome, where else can you go that they treat you like a rockstar and every person is equally talented? Tom brophy! Gotta come here (: read more

Words cannot express how wonderful my experience was at Tom Brophy Salon. I recently moved here and have had the same hair stylist for 9 years. My friend highly recommended Rena, and now I know why. She is professional, knowledgeable, has a great personality, and took the time to listen and explain what she was going to do. Rena cut my hair PERFECTLY and styled it exactly the way I wanted it. The environment was welcoming and everyone there was lovely. I am so happy to have found Rena and the team at Tom Brophy. read more

I have lived in Los Angeles almost my entire life and have been to several different hair salons, most of which were a disappointment to say the least. You would think that in a city like Los Angeles, a good colorist would be a dime a dozen. Not the case. That is until I found Bryan, a transplant from Chicago who knows blonde so well, you'd think he was born with it....wait, he actually WAS born with it. Needless to say, he knows what he is doing and never disappoints.. And to top it off, he's super cute! No brassy, gold, yellow or greenish-blonde hair here. I now have the most natural looking, beautiful, buttery blonde locks thanks to his expertise! He just recently moved over to Tom Brophy (I will follow him anywhere!) and what a gem this place is! It's really cute, CLEAN and modern, prices are reasonable, and the staff is super nice. The owner even came over and introduced himself to me and welcomed me to the salon! (That's a first!) Love that. So if you're looking for a colorist who knows his s**t, go see Bryan at Tom Brophy- you won't be disappointed! read more

Found my new favorite stylist in LA! Jonathan C! He is so talented and you can tell he loves what he does and is passionate about it. My husband has been going to him for awhile and loves him. I was meeting up with him and decided to get a cut since I needed one badly. Jonathan is not just a master at men's cut but he also took on my extra long hot mess of stick straight tangled hair and did an amazing job! He put a lot of thought in my everyday life and career along with what cut would be right for my hair texture and face shape. My hair falls so nicely around my face and feels thicker. I actually wear my hair down more when usually I have it tied in a bun or ponytail. If he can take on my hair, he's a true master. Best on the whim decision I've ever made. Love him! Oh yeah, the salon was nice and clean and unpretentious which is rare for a BH salon. read more

Just got the best haircut of my life with Josh! I found this salon on a whim - on yelp - and decided to give it a try since it got such great reviews. There wasn't much about Josh, but I decided - what the heck. So glad I did! I went for a drastic cut - chopped off about 10 inches into an edgy, Michelle Williams sort of thing - and couldn't be happier. He really took the time to listen to what I wanted and made some adjustments that it would work better for my hair. He also cared enough to make sure I wasn't gonna freak when he made the first cut. He was unbelievably meticulous and wasn't rushed. I'm 30 and have never gone back to the same person twice when it comes to cutting my hair, but now I'm converted and definitely a loyal Josh client. Also, loved the whole vibe of the salon. Tom and Jennifer seemed so happy to have me, and everyone there was genuinely friendly. Rex didn't have a client while I was there, so he stood my Josh's chair and chatted for while. Pretty hilarious - definitely added to the fun. And the most amazing thing? Best haircut I've ever had and it was under $100 Couldn't recommend this place and Josh more. read more

I got my hair cut by Rena. She knows what she's doing and she hooks it up with iced tea.

If you are looking for an amazing haircut I would highly recommend this beautiful, modern establishment. Tom Brophy is the owner and genius hair stylist. Without fail I always come out of there completely satisfied and blown away by his haircuts and full experience in general. It is reasonably priced considering it is located in Beverly Hills and there is no attitude whatsoever but like everything else, if you are truly a quality type of individual then you will get what you pay for. He is one of a kind and his staff is beyond professional. Try it for yourself if you are tired of getting a mediocre experience somewhere else. read more

Love this salon, the vibe, the professional and friendly stylists and even the front desk cutie isnt a meanie! My colorist Shayna R. is unreal. I come in with pictures of what I really want and what I REALLY dont want and she listens but also gives great suggestions. I always walk out feeling 100% better about my hair and thats saying a lot. Normally, I walk out questioning, worrying and then maybe settling on this is ok but she nails the color every time. The ombre coloring she came up with is super chic and not trashy. Its a total cali beachy vibe. Rex, the hairstylist is amazing too. I love that this group of talented stylists really listen to what your going after and dont push you in another direction. There is no nasty BH attitude here. Just cool, talented crew with hands of magic. Thank you Shayna and Rex and see you in a few weeks. :) read more

This salon is awesome! I've been coming here for a couple months now and always get my hair cut by Zoe! She gives great service and strives to make her clients happy. Next time you need to get your hair cut call and book and appointment with Zoe read more

I have had my hair cut by Jennifer for 30 years and not once have i ever been disappointed. The greatest part of Jennifer's haircuts, besides precision is that the cut grows out beautifully as well. I live in Texas mostly now but never get my haircut until i can return to California just for a Jennifer haircut!! THE BEST THE BEST read more

This salon is about as good as it gets. Deserves all 5 stars for sure. Super laid back yet professional and the service is fun and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing and efficient without feeling rushed. I went to Shayna to get my hair colored. I went in with bleached out honey-blond highlights (my natural hair color is dark brown) and was aiming to go back to a darker color. I left the color choice in Shayna's hands, she really seemed like she knew what she was talking about and sure enough, she did! It was as if she knew exactly what I wanted without my having to struggle to articulate it. I love my hair, I literally haven't been able to stop looking at it and have received more compliments on my color in the last week than I have in a year with my original highlights. Shayna rocks, as does the Salon as a whole. I will definitely be making the drive across town from now on, it's worth it! read more

i had an amazing experience at this salon. i sent them an email after discovering the use goldwell, explaining my hair type (fine/mousy brown) and what i wanted to do (blonde on top, purple underneath) and got an email back within 24 hours recommending a stylist for my colour, christine, with times that were available. i went ahead and booked an appointment. i arrived at the salon and was welcomed by several people. i think even the owner said hello? christine then went through exactly what i wanted, and then had the stylist who was doing my cut (lia) come over and talk about how the cut/colour would fit together. the shampoo/conditioner they use smells DELICIOUS. i couldn't stop sniffing to get whiffs of the fruity scent. i may have looked like i had a cocaine problem. i was then taken to lia who went through what i wanted again, and she started cutting. i have to say, both stylists were meticulous and thorough, and i felt completely at east in trusting them (this is a HUGE deal to me since i was going to a salon for the first time). goldwell products are brilliant. the colour turned out fabulous. it was so nice that a few of the stylists came up and admired my hair, i was showered with compliments as i left and it made me feel so good that i walked out of there with a huge spring in my step. the colour/cut for my entire head was $280 before tip. later on, as we went to pick up a christmas present for my mum, i had two people come up to me and compliment my hair. so cool! thank you to christine & lia who made my hair totally fabulous. read more

I've come to the conclusion that there is only one person in Los Angeles who has the miraculous ability to manage and cut my crazy lion(ness) mane of hair: Rena. I have long natural curly/wavy hair, and it's so thick that I've managed to break multiple hair ties when attempting to put it up. It's gnarly, I'm not kidding. Rena is amazing! She can literally cut/shave 10 pounds off of my head, but still make it feel like it's full of volume. Rena, you're like this genius lion(ness) mane tamer. Thank you, and I'm due for a cut, so I'll see you soon! read more

What an amazing experience......! Just WOW! Zoe... you blew me away.... not only me but my hair. Your cut and style ... simply fantastic. I know stylist are not plastic surgeons but Zoe should get her medical degree because she changed the way I look.. and the way I look at life. If you need to get a cut and gain confidence go to ZOE! ... beautiful salon and Tom the owner is a darling! read more

I decided to try and save a little money on a haircut and go to one of the student schools. I totally understand that students need to practice and I shouldn't have expected a flawless cut, but what I got was choppy, uneven, and technically very bad. I went to Tom Brophy on my lunch break -- making a same-day appointment was super easy. The shampoo was relaxing, and Adrian, my stylist, really took the time to consult with me about what I wanted, told me how we could fix the cut, and took his time to make sure it was fixed, even, and even managed to keep the length (which was important to me) while cleaning up the jagged layers. I can't recommend the salon, or Adrian, highly enough. I'll definitely be going back. And the prices are very competitive for the area, with a blowout included in the cost of the cut. read more

I have had my share of hair disasters, and every time I go to Rena to help me fix what's ruined, I leave feeling more than satisfied. It's not easy to find truly talented hair stylists, but Rena is definitely one of them. She listens to exactly what I want, answers all of my questions and comes up with great suggestions, and she talks me through the haircut to make sure I am getting the style I want. I really only trust her with my hair, making it easy for me to experiment with new styles or lengths. She's extremely sweet too. read more

First off, I want to mention how nice the environment and location is. Everyone is the salon is nice and greets you as you enter. Rena, whom I've been going to for about a year now is an amazing woman. Not only does she give the best head massage when washing my hair prior to the cut, but she is super friendly and always sparks conversation which is what you want when getting a haircut. She is slowly making me look more and more like Bradley Cooper and i give her major props for that. Definitely have to give her a call when it comes time for your next cut! read more

Bryan is as good as it gets. I have lived in LA my entire life and I have been to numerous salons. Bryan is a GREAT colorist and has made me into a repeat customer. He has a cheerful personality which brightens anyone's day and better yet, great skills that are consistent!!!! The staff are very gracious and really made me feel comfortable. if you are in BH or the greater LA area, coming to see Bryan is definitely worth the drive! read more

Tom has been my stylist for over 20 years and he knows how many strands of gray hair I have. He is the best in town and I trust him 100% to cut my hair. I sit down in front of him, tell him what I want, and let him do the magic. My thick, wavy, and sometimes frizzy hair is not easy to cut but Tom always turns the overgrown mob on my head into something so manageable and nice - not to mention the "feel good" factor." Forget about Jose Eber, Christopher, Umberto, Shear Genius...... read more

An update to my post of 3/12/16 and in response to the Business Owner's comment .... A factual correction, this potential client hasn't been coloring her hair for years, it was colored professionally 5 months ago and has had one minor root touch up since. The client is willing to swear an affidavit under oath of perjury that the owner suggested that a more experienced colorist at a nearby salon with 35 years experience may be better able to help. He most definitely did offer to provide a contact phone number. This to me was a clear indication that that he felt unsure of his own staff's experience. To characterize the exchange as a rant is positively misleading and libelous. It was evident that this salon fell well short on this occasion and is continuing the disservice by offering a "Trump-esque" distortion of the facts. read more

Rex is amazing. He has a true talent for cutting hair! I love my new hair and he really is great to go to.

I was referred to this salon and to the stylist Adrian by my friend who rocks some solid hair. I was excited to get an appointment with Adrian who was professional and stylish and just has that LA vibe. He was great; he listened to what I was looking for and gave me a great cut. Most of all I loved how it looked after he dried it. I wish I could get that look every day. Adrian rocks! read more

I just had my hair cut done by Adrian. He always does an amazing job!!! Very skilled and super professional!! Perfection every time!!! I highly recommend him and love the aesthetic of the salon. It is stylish and clean. Treat yourself and have a pro do your hair! read more

Go to Tom for the best haircut in LA. I don't trust anyone else! I had long hair for most of my life. He was a pro at styling it in a textured, layered way to give me the most volume possible. Last week I decided to chop it all off, and I absolutely love my short, angled bob - so much that I'm wishing I'd gone short a long time ago! The cut is modern, and makes me look stylish and edgy even if I'm dressed down. I couldn't be happier. On top of that, Tom is one of my favorite people, it's always a pleasure to see him and catch up during a cut. And the whole staff is wonderful. Stop reading reviews and book your appointment :). read more

Jessica is an amazing hairstylist!! She gave me a tres chic cut. She takes her time and communicates. She's super sweet and professional.

I waited about a week to write this review to really just get a sense of what the hair cut looked like, how to style it best, etc. After not getting a hair cut for over six months (YIKES!!) my hair was in dire need of some help. So since I passed Tom Brophy everyday on my way to work, I decided to call them and schedule an appt. THEY WERE SO ACCOMMODATING! i had to reschedule three times due to my crazy work and school schedule and even scheduled the appt later in the evening than they normally do. Once I got to the salon, I was quickly greeted by both my stylist, Lia, and the owner, Tom. Lie asked me TONS of questions about my hair. How I normally style it, how I normally like it cut, how long I normally put into doing it, etc. She really took the time to get a feel for what I wanted in my hair cut and what was practical for my life. Considering I was pretty indecisive regarding my bangs, we took it one step at a time starting with side bangs and then slowly going shorter to decide whether I wanted to take the leap to a full bang. Overall, after she was done cutting, blowing drying, and then styling (she showed me how to style it so i could replicate it) my hair has never looked better. People that I havent seen in months and that don't know I recently got a hair cut are complimenting me on my hair! THANKS LIA AND TOM BROPHY. At the end of my cut, Tom came over and made sure that I liked what Lia had done and asked me about myself. It was such a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone. I cannot wait to go back! read more

This review is for Rena. She is amazing hair stylist that finally understood what I need and did exactly what I wanted and how is looked on pictures I showed her. She fix my hair from haircut I did somewhere else and thanks to Rena my hair looks great again. Salon is very nice and clean. Owner is very sweet. Definitely will be coming back here again and again. Thank you Rena read more
