She worked with me to make sure length was what I wanted, which I really appreciated. I was really happy with how my hair came out! Definitely took into account all of my ideas, hair routine, and inspo. The salon is cute and clean. It's well-organized, and the stylists all seem happy to be there. Gabrealla had great product recommendations, and they keep products they use in stock. I went on a Thursday afternoon and was able to find street parking close to the salon. I've been looking for a go-to salon in LA, and I think this is it! Definitely recommend Gabrealla :)

When I made my appointment at Miakel Bishay Salon, I specifically requested to be paired with…read moresomeone experienced in cutting long bobs because I knew the style I wanted required skill and precision. I wanted a shorter bob in the back and longer in the front. Since this salon is expensive, I trusted that I would be in professional hands. Unfortunately, my experience with Mitra Jam was extremely disappointing and honestly devastating. The first time she cut my hair, it did not look anything like the haircut I asked for. When I explained that I did not like how it looked, she cut even more trying to "fix" it, and it ended up way too short while still not looking like the style I wanted. I also mentioned that I wanted some volume removed from my hair, but instead of blending it properly, she started cutting random chunks throughout my hair. Now, weeks later, I still have pieces sticking out that are barely about an inch long. There is no way to blend them or style them naturally. I literally have to use gel just to keep those pieces down because they stick out everywhere. I truly believe that if someone is not experienced or confident doing a certain type of haircut, they should not perform it. It is honestly unbelievable to pay this much money and leave with your hair completely ruined. Despite everything, she was kind and told me that if I wanted her to fix anything, I could come back. But realistically, she cannot uncut my hair. I normally do not leave negative reviews, but this experience genuinely affected me and I would not want someone else to go through the same thing.

If you want beautiful color from a true local in Dogtown, this is your spot. It's important we support locals who grew up here otherwise there will be none of us left. I will definitely be back and telling my friends!

She really listens to your goals and gives you realistic expectations. I was so nervous to go lighter with my natural brown hair and she exceeded all my expectations.

He was so delightful to talk to you during my session as he is a beautiful being a flight spreading his joyfulness everywhere. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonably priced the haircut is compared to some of these crazy star studded hairdressers here that cater to all the people in the film industry. They charge absolutely ridiculous prices. I will definitely be coming to him from this point on. Another bonus is as a parking is pretty easy where he is located and his window looks out right onto Broadway so there's always interesting characters walking by as you get your hair done. As a woman with really nice long hair I feel like it's very hard to find someone who doesn't butcher or chop your hair or give you weird layers and that doesn't keep your hair and it's integrity. Not sure how he does it coloring, but I might give him a chance at that too

Grace is incredibly talented, kind, relatable, and such a great listener. She even gives the best scalp massages! As someone who is VERY picky and has some serious hair trauma, I can confidently say: GO TO GRACE. You'll leave her chair feeling confident, beautiful, and ready to turn heads when you walk out on Montana Ave .

I drive all the way across the city to see her and it's worth every minute of traffic. She is excellent at her job, very professional, very communicative, easy to collaborate with and so so sweet. A delight to talk to! I feel so comfortable in her chair, and you know, how awkward this particular activity can sometimes be! Jo is a lovely person and a talented stylist. I'm so grateful for this relationship, both with her and with my hair, which she made me love again by knowing just how to deal with all my problem areas. She knows how to take all the fluffy weight out of my otherwise dense and frizzed out hair. I always come out of here feeling lighter and more beautiful than when I walked in. The price feels like a steal for the quality of the workmanship and the joy I feel walking out. They are usually running on schedule and I have rarely had to wait past my appointment time. I find that they are easiest to get ahold of on the phone in the earlier part of the day, and they do call back on left messages, text and respond to yelp appointment requests, which is wonderful. They get very busy during the day and this is a small team, so the service is personal, even when it takes some time to communicate. This shop is bright, airy, comfortable and clean. They always have good music going, and not too loud. The bathroom is spacious and always well appointed. They sell lovely jewelry, crystals, candles and other items, in addition to luxurious hair care products. Parking is very easy, even tho it's only street. There are meters on Lincoln, but I usually park down Marine or one of the other side streets for free, just watch for street sweeping hours.

I had booked her last year around November/December, but I totally kept changing dates due to just having a very busy work/mom schedule. Well the time came and Nancy was so kind to remind me about my appointment. I finally was free and went ahead and got my hair done. It came out soooooo amazing! So many compliments too. When I walked into the salon one the hairdressers greeted me warmly and guided me to sit where Nancy normally works with her clients. I felt really warm vibes immediately. Once Nancy arrived (I arrived extra early) she began her magic. But during the process, the gentle approach and her attentive ability to communicate and lather my hair gently sold me. Usually you're used to being splashed here and there, well my experience with other hair dressers. I was surprised I didn't get much water in my ears which is a problem for me since I have ear sensitivity and I'm just used to getting ready and embracing for the worse. I didn't get a wet back at all and I didn't feel rushed ever. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Do you know how hard it is to find a hair dresser with great hospitality service? Yeah this one is a gem. I really recommend stopping by or booking with Nancy. 1000/1000.
