Two photos my hair before the haircut -- taken with the front camera, no filter, no beauty mode,…read morecompletely unedited. Two photos my hair after the haircut. First of all, I want to say that Yuki is a very nice person, and this review is not personal in any way. I also completely understand that for some people, paying $220 plus tip (around $270) for a trim is totally normal, and I'm sure many clients are very happy at this price point. However, this price point does not match my personal understanding of what $270 represents for a haircut in LA. For me, when I pay this amount, I am paying not just for time, but for the stylist's professional judgment and their understanding of beauty -- meaning there should be some meaningful adjustment or improvement based on my original haircut. In my case, my hair has two layers. On the lower layer, it was mainly blow-dried and cut slightly flatter to look heavier, which took less than five minutes. On the upper layer, there were literally about three small cuts to add texture. I am not even commenting on whether the result is good or bad -- but objectively, the change is extremely minimal. After multiple haircuts in LA, at this price level, I personally expect to see a noticeable difference. At this moment, I honestly can't tell if my hair looks any different from before, and I'm not even sure if it will look better after washing. As today's result contributed by professional blow-dry. I hesitated a lot before writing this review. But I realized that when your expectation and your budget are well matched before a haircut, the whole experience can be very comfortable and positive. When they are not well matched, it becomes a lose-lose situation. The stylist did spend a full hour providing the service, and I did receive that service for an hour. But the service itself did not match what I had prepared to pay for. At that point, you cannot refuse to pay, but you also feel quite uncomfortable after paying. This review is mainly for those who are relatively sensitive at this price point. If your budget is very comfortable, your hair structure is already very good, and you are happy with just a very simple trim on top of an existing style, then this may be totally fine for you. The products, washing, blow-drying, and overall environment are all very good, and the general experience itself is pleasant. This is simply my personal experience and expectation at this price level.

I went to see Ken to get Japanese straightening and I am absolutely overjoyed with my results! From…read morethe moment I sat in the chair, I felt listened to, cared for, and completely confident that I was in good hands. He did such a beautiful and thorough job. I'm so thrilled with my results. He explained what he was doing every step of the way and kept checking on me throughout the whole process to make sure that I was doing ok. You can tell that he has really perfected his technique from his years of experience doing Japanese hair straightening. The results turned out stunning--I can't stop looking at my hair! It's even straighter than the best silk presses I've had. If you're on the fence about it, this is your sign to go for it! If you're looking for someone who can make you feel beautiful, refreshed, and excited every time you look in the mirror, look no further. I couldn't be happier. Even though my fiancé was sad to see my curls go, he loves the results too and can't stop running his hands through my hair. I will absolutely be a repeat customer. Thank you Ken for making me look and feel fantastic!

During the Spring my daughter mentioned to me that she wanted to get a Japanese thermal…read morereconditioning treatment. I had never heard of it before but she had done the research and found a Hair Stylist named Ken in Los Angeles. We contacted Ken and spoke on the phone. We also did a free hair consultation by texting him a picture of my daughter's hair texture. When we were in LA we were able to stop by and see Ken for an in person hair consultation. Ken took a few minutes in between clients to look at my daughter's hair and give us his analysis of how the Yuko hair system would work for her. We made an appointment. We were told the appointment would last five hours but Ken finished in three and a half hours, much to our delight. It was a process unlike any that I've seen before. Typically for a perm or relaxer on African American hair, you are told not to get hair wet 24 hours before the perm/relaxer. With the Japanese thermal reconditioning treatment my daughter was allowed to wash her hair before she went to her appointment. It was a unique process. I can definitely see the difference already. When my daughter first told me that she wanted this straightening process that would last up to six months or even longer, I was concerned that there would be a lot of chemicals and that it would damage her hair. But the Yuko straightening is different. It doesn't damage the hair, it actually strengthens the hair and makes the hair follicles shine. I'm very happy with the results. Ken is fantastic to work with. He listened to our needs and explained his recommendation based on hair texture, length, and desired goal. He is very professional and patient. He shows that he genuinely cares for each client's hair with love. Is he a magician? I don't know. He does produce amazing results. I'm so glad my daughter found him. ^_^ The salon is located on the second level of a shopping center with a Japanese grocery store below. Daiso, and several other eateries are also within the three level shopping center. It's in the Sawtelle district. Parking is validated so make sure to show the parking garage your receipt from your salon visit so you can park for free!

He knows what he is doing and you can see that by the way he works with your hair. From the way he even washes your hair to fixing dead ends, he makes it look so easy. With my long hair he finished at a fast pace with precision. I was shocked that we finished in less than 4 hours!!!!! Other salons can take up to 6 hours for my hair. The price is very reasonable, he gave me coffee for free, and the treats are free as well. With his 20 years of experience you won't be disappointed with the end result.

He's a brilliant mastermind and in him you'll find the holy trinity- someone who can (1) cut, (2) color and (3) blow dry your hair with a smile and patience. You will never feel rushed and he not only hears what you want but he delivers. He's a relationship builder and I don't just think of him as my hair stylist but my friend and transformation godmother. THEN to make life better his Brazilian Blowouts have literally changed my life. The Smoothing Treatment is for when you have time- a monthly staple for sure and the DeFrizz Treatment is when you're not ready to take the leap but probably a more frequent treat. I have done both and only trust Ken with my locks. Anyway-do yourself a favor and book your next session!

I'm so happy I trusted Ferit with my hair. A friend referred me to him after telling me he had been…read morea very well-known hairdresser in Turkey, and I can absolutely see why. My hair is extremely challenging--it's about five feet long, very dense and heavy, and I hadn't had a real haircut in nearly seven years. Ferit took his time, listened to what I wanted, reassured me about the length, and gave me beautiful long, V-shaped layers that work perfectly with my hair and face. What impressed me most was how confidently and skillfully he handled such an enormous amount of heavy hair. He has the strength, dexterity, and experience it takes, while also being positive, patient, funny, and very easy to trust. His pricing was also very reasonable. I'll definitely be going back to Ferit to maintain this cut and style. Highly recommend him, especially for anyone with very long, thick, or difficult hair. **The photo is just the haircut--no blow-dry or styling.**

After the appointment, I went to check out and they tried to charge me $200. I said "It's on Classpass" because I already paid 44 credits through the app. The hairstylist ran away behind the room divider and started screaming at his colleague in Turkish saying "Classpass! Classpass!" every few seconds. Then his colleague came out and said 'This appointment on Classpass is only for a haircut, not a blow dry, so we'll charge you $100." I said "No, in the description it says a wash, hair cut and blow dry" and showed them the exact listing. They tried to argue with me and say no, that was a mistake from Classpass. Even though the salon writes these descriptions themselves. I was just standing there while they argued with me and felt utterly humiliated, they were treating me like a criminal. If you don't want to see customers from Classpass, don't partner with Classpass!! I don't deserve to be treated like trash for booking an appointment through a portal you willingly put your salon on! I had to hold my ground and refuse to pay the $100, and had to stop myself from bursting into tears in the middle of the salon. I even tipped them at the end even though they treated me this way. By the way, the hairstylist didn't clean his comb or scissors after using them on me, he just blew on them and stuffed them back into his kit. Also, his brush was ripping out my hair when he was trying to brush it out wet. He also had me tilt my head back when blow drying, and I was as far back as I could possibly go, and he said "BACK! BACK!" and I was like "That's as far back as my neck goes babe!" I don't know what is going on with this place but it was not welcoming at all towards me and I will never come back.
