RICHELLE WALDEN changed my life (but seriously). Every girl knows how important her hair is. I recently made a dramatic change in length and hated it. I didn't feel like myself. Then I found Richelle. From the moment I sat down, her warmth and empathy made me feel completely comfortable and confident in her. The result? The best bob I've ever had. I'm talking on the street stopping "where did you get your cut" kinda bob. Richelle focuses solely on cutting, and it's obvious she's a true master of her craft. She brought me back to me. On top of that, the atmosphere is welcoming and her pricing is very reasonable - which is just a bonus! See you soon Richelle! read more

I have come to Leslie Natalie for haircuts and lived in highlights. This time around I came in for a full hair transformation (I have thick, course hair and naturally a dark brown color) I came in with inspiration pictures & was so ready to make the change. Leslie took her time explaining my color palette and which tones would look best on my skin tone. She also helped create a haircut that suited my lifestyle ( I need something professional, edgy and fun to style ) she suggested taking out weight, which normally I would have to say a HARD no. However, she explained the intention behind each snip and how it would benefit my hair, scalp health & overall look. Needless to say , I walked out of the salon feeling like a total Pop Star she gave me thorough instructions on how to take care of my red hair color, how often I need to come in and product suggestions that will maintain the health of my hair. She also offers personalized 30 day roadmaps to ensure her clients are supported during their hair journey (how amazing!) She's simply the best! I can't recommend her enough. If you're looking for someone you can fully trust with your hair.. she's the one! read more

I have been going to Genai for cuts for some time now because she gives me the best haircut I've ever had every single time, and she is also so easy to talk to, really listens to her clients, and I always leave happy. I recently went to Genai for K-tip extensions, and I am SO glad I did. I am extremely impressed- I have never had extensions look and feel this good. They are light, easy to style, and they look completely natural. I've always had fine hair, but I had been noticing my hair getting thinner in the last few years, so I got the K-tips for extra volume and fullness, and I am so glad I did because they look amazing! Genai did an incredible job making them undetectable, even to me! They're light, they don't put tension on the hair, and unlike clip-ins, they are so easy to style or throw into a ponytail. They make me feel so much more confident and just a few pieces can make such a huge difference in how your hair looks. I'll definitely be going back to get them again. Highly recommend going to Genai for K-tips if you want your fine hair to look fuller! read more

I go to Leslie for all my low maintenance hair and lived in hair color needs. When my hair needs love Leslie is honest and educates me on real solutions on how to maintain my hair at home. She listens to my requests and takes lifestyle into consideration when suggesting a hair transformation. As a new mom, some days can be overwhelming but with my new haircut she has made it easier for me to manage getting myself ready with such ease. I just had a baby and postpartum hair loss has caused me a lot of stress. As I sat on her chair and expressed my needs, she listened and educated me about hair and hair growth. I felt empowered, relieved and hopeful. She has made me feel more confident as I slowly come out of my postpartum cave. The products she uses are low-toxic, what they are for & shares where to find them as well. My hair always feels soft, manageable & my style lasts a while! Her technique in cutting shows, her haircuts have so much detail & look great as they grow out. Her presence is calm, soothing & she makes me part of the experience. Thanks to Leslie I have been able to not stress about my hair, be patient with the process of growing out and she holds my hand as I go through my transformation as a new mom. I will follow her anywhere she goes. read more

What a cute little place this is! It's located just off of Ventura. I found street parking close by. Marty did my wash, cut and blow dry and did a very nice job. I felt so relaxed and even fell asleep during the blow dry. Pricing is competitive to the other salons in the neighborhood. Thank you for the wonderful, relaxing experience. read more

I've seen Kim for several years to cut my hair and she is fantastic. She does an amazing blow dry as well! Highly recommend her for all of your hair needs, you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been seeing Leslie Natalie at Westfolk for years, and her work is so incredible and such a true self-care experience, I've gladly traveled from the Westside to the Studio City and Sherman Oaks area to see her as she is detailed & thorough, listens well to my needs and educates on product, walks you through each step to understand the process of the treatment. I love that she uses low-toxic hair products as well. I never thought her formaldehyde free keratin treatment would be better than the original Brazilian Blowout, but it's truly been the most effective keratin treatment I have had, and she gives amazing tips for my at home hair rituals to maintain the treatment, along with other healthy-hair habits that make caring for my thick, curly hair low-maintenance. I've been in the beauty industry as a professional myself for over 20 years in LA, and seen many stylists over the years, but no one matches Leslie Natalie. This is the best condition my hair has ever been in, and I owe it to her expertise (and I'll give myself credit for following her healthy hair habits). Thank you, Leslie Natalie for keeping my hair looking fabulous over the years, I will be a customer (and brave the 405) for life! FYI: Booking is via text only. read more

Westfolk Salon - Leslie Natalie making my curly hair smooth and fabulous. - Hair Salons Near Me - Studio City, California

I have been looking for a new salon for over a year! I tried a few different places in here in LA over the last 2 years and things just hadnt quite clicked. I found Westfolk after digging around the internet and so HAPPY I DID! I called, and immediately got Richelle on the line. She was friendly, enthusiastic, and immediately was excited to talk to me about my hair. Within 10 mins, I had an appt scheduled with her to cut my hair. This will sound dramatic, but this is one of the best haircuts I have ever had. Didn't wash it or style for 3 days and it looked incredible. I let it air dry after the first wash, and my hair looked so good. I give her a 10/10 - great time in the chair, great vibes, great haircut, adorable cozy salon. I am never one to book in advance, and I left there with a appt. on the books for the next one. GO GET YOUR HAIRCUT BY HER. read more

Leslie Anne is pure genius. She took my super blah salt & pepper hair - not colored since Covid! - and made it pop. It looks completely natural but with more contrast and dimension. And who knows what we might do next time? She's extremely collaborative and really listens. I love my hair so much! Thank you, Leslie a.b read more

I had gone far too long without a haircut, and my hair was feeling heavy, flat, and lifeless. From the moment I sat in her chair, Richelle made me feel completely at ease and truly listened, especially when it came to a few personal concerns I have about my hair and scalp. Her precision and skill are outstanding. She approaches hair with a perfect balance of creativity and technical expertise. I walked out with hair that felt healthy, full of dimension, and refreshed. I can't recommend Richelle enough. If you're considering a haircut, book with her. You'll be so glad you did. read more

Leslie is very experienced and knowledgeable in a wide variety of hairstyles, and it shows every time I visit. The products are low-toxic. She explains why she is using these products & shares where to find them as well. My hair always feels soft, manageable & my style lasts a while! It makes my life easy as I feel taken care of days after. Her cutting technique shows; her haircuts have so much detail & look great as they grow out. Her presence is calm, soothing & she makes me part of the experience. She makes the entire experience stress-free. I like that I get to text her directly to book appointments & has an Instagram full of education, so whenever I need a hair tip, I go to her page & she has something for me. Thanks to the excellent Leslie, I have been able to fall in love with my hair and be patient with the process of growing out, as she holds my hand through any significant transformation.

I've been going to Richelle for a haircut for years. She's truly a master of her craft. I highly recommend!

Thank god I found Genai!! She helped me grow my pixie (which I've had since the 90's) into a fun rocker shag! She's so knowledgeable and definitely helped me get out of my rut. The vibe is youthful, hip and relaxed. She's co-owner of Westfolk and has a lot of experience. Prices are really reasonable. Definitely good with short hair, which not everyone is. I always have fun and feel better walking out than I came in. read more

Leslie is truly a master of her craft. She is both a curly hair specialist and a color specialist, and I've trusted her with my curls for years. Not a day goes by without someone stopping me to compliment my cut or color. Leslie takes the time to really listen and makes you feel completely taken care of. She understands my hair goals, my busy lifestyle, and how I care for my hair day to day. She always finds the perfect solutions for covering my grays while creating low maintenance color that grows out beautifully and still looks intentional between visits. I also love that she uses low toxic products, which makes my hair feel healthier after every appointment. My cuts are always tailored to me--lately a layered cut with bangs that's full of volume and bounce. My hair feels soft, healthy, and refreshed every single time. Her color work truly lasts and gives that effortless, lived-in look. Beyond her talent, Leslie is a gem of a human being. She immediately puts you at ease, and her experience clearly shows in the results. I can't recommend her enough. read more

Richelle is THE ONE! Number one, everyone at the salon is super sweet and welcoming once you walk in so from the beginning the vibes were there. Richelle really took her time to making sure she understood what I wanted and made adjustments throughout the appt if need be. I love love loved my haircut and made me feel super cutesieee for my bday! read more

I hadn't had a haircut in a long time and my hair felt long, dull, and lifeless. Richelle immediately made me feel comfortable and cared for, especially with a few insecurities I have about my hair and scalp. Her attention to detail is incredible, and her technique is both an art and science. I left with dimensional, healthy hair. I highly recommend anyone in need of a haircut to make an appointment with Richelle! You will not be disappointed! read more

I connected with Leslie Natalie on Instagram @leslienataliexoxo I was looking for someone to work with my thick curly hair. And do a textured razor cut that gives off that wolfy vibe The entire experience was so relaxing. It really shows that she has 13 years of experience! She took her time and added so much detail to my haircut, truly have never had it done so good before. This is my third time getting my hair done with Leslie Natalie, my hair always grows out really nice after she's cut it. She has also helped me when I wanted to make my hair green. She sent me home with tools and advice on how to take care of it. I like that she uses low toxic products and is about educating the client rather than selling. I always look forward to my next hair appointment because I know that I can fully let go and trust that she will do an incredible job and keep my hair looking healthy. She could blindfold me and I wouldn't care. If you're looking for someone that genuinely loves what she does then Leslie Natalie is your girl read more

Genai did me and mom's hair so nicely and we will definitely be coming back! The environment was very clean and cozy!

Amazing salon and phenomenal service!! The owner is so sweet and did an amazing cut on me. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

My review is a tad late. I got my hair done by Leslie Natalie and she was a gem. Everything she did was done in such a caring and precise manner. She has awesome communication and made me feel at ease talking to her. She is very knowledgeable also and I love using her product recommendations. I just wish I was closer to the area but I don't mind driving if she would do my hair again :) read more

Leslie has been styling my hair for nearly ten years. Shes the only person I trust with coloring, cutting and styling my hair. Her intuitive nature toward my tresses is unmatched, she is truly gifted. Westfolk Salon has a calming atmosphere and modern aesthetic. It's in a perfect spot right off Ventura Blvd with eateries and coffee shops nearby. read more

Genai has been cutting my hair for over 10 years. Sadly, she no longer does color but I won't go to anyone else for haircuts! She always delivers! I see her at Westfolk or her salon suite in Sherman Oaks. Both spots are sunny and cheerful. I moved to Ventura a few years ago but I still drive out to see her! read more

Westfolk Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Studio City, California

When you know your worth and want only the best-Westfolk Salon in Studio City is the place to be. Nestled in the coolest neighborhood off "the boulevard," the vibe, compassion, friendliness, welcoming personalities, AND love (yes, love) as soon as you walk in their beautiful wooden door, along with the sheer amazing talent of the owner, Megan-and her staff-is Barr none! I was beyond blessed to find Megan after moving here from New York thirteen years ago, (and I'll admit, being quite spoiled and used to walking out my front door with all the best within a stone's throw). After what felt like a never-ending quest, especially after moving to a city as spread out and big as Los Angeles, one stylist's name (Megan) popped up over and over, and I was off to the races! I was finally ready to make an appointment in a new city, with a new stylist. More importantly, I wanted to arrive knowing that I'd be getting exactly what I wanted, and could trust her with my life (because after all, hair IS life)! One of the most sought after salons in Studio City, Megan is a master of the quintessential California-girl hair and stunningly beautiful lived-in color! She delivers service that is beyond perfection, and her focus on "the craft," is what separates her from all the others in LA. With a wide range of services for clients (who become "family," after the first time you visit), she offers haircuts, color, style, extensions, and makeup (don't even get me started on her talent as a make-up artist, we'd be here all night)!!! Run, don't walk...to make an appointment with Megan at Westfolk Salon! Her love for her clients, her beautiful heart and soul, and her never-ending talent should be the only consideration in booking an appointment with her. I truly have NEVER met a kinder person. That she's also the best stylist around...is just icing on the cake! read more

I highly recommend Westfolk! I went to Megan for my haircut and absolutely loved what she did with my hair. She just knew exactly what would work for me and she went with it. She has great instincts. She is also so lovely and easy to chat with it! read more

I have known Megan so many hair colors ago (around or almost 20 years) and I have nothing but kind words to say about her. She is such a wonderful hairstylist and an amazing person. She is VERY Welcoming to every single person that walks through that door. She makes sure everyone is comfortable and even asks if they would like some sort of refreshment. She will come in earlier than usual or stay later than her business hours to accommodate her clients needs. She is always honest with her clients (which you don't see that often) and provides guidance when their clients aren't sure of what they want. I have recommended family and friends to her and they have been so happy with her that they've become long-term clients. I have always come out of that salon with a smile, feeling amazing because my hair is on point (thanks Megan). The salon is a cute little place off of Ventura with such a chill and beautiful vibe and it feels like a place to come and hangout, and when you're done, you can't wait for your next appointment. The hairstylists there are very sweet and welcoming as well. Amazing customer service all around. I honestly don't know why there is a one star review on here and I'm having a really hard time believing what they wrote. The things that were said about Megan are just untrue. Who hurt you that day Danna!? read more

Just got my hair done here by Megan and it was amazing. I had to move my appointment last minute because I had to travel out of the country and she was very accommodating and fit me in on a Saturday morning, even though she has a packed schedule. I wish I could give them 6 stars - I would highly recommend! read more

I made an appointment on Wednesday for a Friday haircut with Kalia for my daughter. Westfolk's online booking system first sends an email that states that the appointment is pending, and must be confirmed by the stylist before it is officially booked. I received an email that the stylist had confirmed the appointment a few hours later. When we arrived two minutes before our appointment time, Megan, the co-owner of the salon, just stared at us. No greeting, no welcome, no "how can we help you" or "do you have an appointment?". It was such a bafflingly rude foot to start on that I was confused for a few seconds about what was going on. I am not sure if Megan is good at hair, but she certainly is not good with people. I let her know I had an appointment booked for 1:15. It was 1:13 and she said the stylist wasn't there yet. Not a great first impression, but I was willing to endure. As we got to 5 minutes past the appointment time with the stylist still not being there, Megan starts volunteering that the salon that she owns doesn't take responsibility for the stylists that rent from her, they all just rent their chairs. Then, in a weird attempt to somehow shift blame to me(??), she asks with a pointed tone when I booked the appointment. The answer was two days prior, but with their confirmation system in place and my appointment being manually confirmed, it frankly doesn't matter if it were this morning or 4 weeks ago. The stylist confirmed the appointment time. It was single handedly the worst and most uncomfortable situation I have ever had at a salon. I had enough and was not going to sit there and absorb her awful energy and bad customer service. The stylist wasn't there at our agreed upon time, and the owner took that short period of time to show her true, insufferable self . There are hundreds of well qualified and much nicer stylists and salon owners within a few miles of here. It is not that hard to go to a salon that values their customers and treats people with respect. Were it not for Megan, I would have waited for Kalia and probably wouldn't have even taken a star off for her being late. Punctuality is important but working for a salon that doesn't treat their customers as disposable is even more important. Run, girl! read more

Hello, random person looking for a hair salon! Look no further. The Westfolk Salon is a groovy spot with a chill unpretentious vibe. The parking is easy, and the prices are fair. Come for the hair stay for the coffee (sometimes wine). I have been going to Megan, one of the owners, forever. She has taken me from blonde to red to brown to platinum and back around again. My hair has seriously never been healthier. She is honest when I ask for something that may cause damage or won't suit my face, and is mindful when I'm on a time crunch or need to watch my spending. She is also fun to hang out with, making my appointments more like playdates. A great escape from mom life! 10/10 recommend Westfolk and Megan to everyone and their brother. And I have! My brother goes to her too. read more

I started going to Megan over 15 years ago after the birth of my first child. Over the years, we have experimented with various colors, lengths, styles, and even tried bangs. Throughout it all, Megan has exemplified professionalism and kindness. She always offers thoughtful guidance and suggestions, and I never leave feeling anything but completely satisfied. Today was a special day as both my daughter and I got our hair done together. We both left the salon beaming with the results (trust me, that's no easy feat with a 15 year old)!! We spent several hours there, and the time flew by thanks to the wonderful conversation and perfect atmosphere. I highly recommend Megan and the salon! read more

Moving to a new city and finding the right hairstylist can be tough - I found Meg and Westfolk Salon 4 years ago and have been a loyal customer ever since! Meg is a genius!

I love her so much I'm trusting her to do my wedding hair and makeup. Highly recommend Westfolk Salon and Meg! read more

Westfolk Salon - Best color, cut, and blowout!!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Studio City, California

I have been a very happy client of Megan's at Westfolk Salon for almost a year. I've been meaning to write a glowing review for a while now and popped on here to do so when I happened to notice that another account had posted a very negative review. Strangely, I happened to be there getting a quick cut and color during this interaction and felt that this person's (Danna H) version of events was wildly inaccurate, so I figured I'd offer my own perspective as a bystander with no dog in the fight. Reviews help me make decisions, and I rely on them to be accurate and honest instead of written by people who seem to be taking out their anger issues on innocent business owners. Apparently, this woman had made an appointment online, but the stylist was running late, which she was not happy about. Fair enough. The owner of Westfolk, Megan, apologized that the stylist was late, informing this person that, unfortunately, she had no direct control over specific stylist's appointments, and immediately texted the late stylist to find out where she was. So far so good, right? The lady, for some reason, responded to this by abruptly stating that they would only wait another 3 min before leaving. OK...? The owner then offered this woman and her family beverages, invited them to make themselves comfortable, found out that the late stylist was apparently in the process of parking, and asked when the woman had booked the appointment online. You know, being a generally polite business owner and gathering info on where a potential problem with the scheduling lay. The woman, apparently taking deep offense at the booking question, bolted upright, accused the owner of being rude, and stormed out with her family. All in all, I don't understand why this person became so upset and heated, but I can say, without question, that the Westfolk Salon owner was not at fault here. She handled a clearly angry and hostile new customer with kindness and professionalism and was met with...the opposite. I will continue to go back to Westfolk because they are incredibly good at their jobs and provide a wonderful and friendly atmosphere. I can't recommend them any higher. I hope this Danna person has a better day tomorrow. read more

If you need a colorist in the valley go to Lindsey Schwartz ! From the moment I sat in her chair, I knew I was in great hands. She listened carefully to what I wanted and then delivered results that completely exceeded my expectations. Not only is Lindsey incredibly skilled, but she's also warm and professional. My hair now has the perfect balance of dimension and vibrancy. I can't recommend her enough--I'll definitely be back! read more

Highly recommend Leslie at Westfolk Salon! Teenage son wanted a new hairstyle and was so nervous. Leslie was incredibly patient and took the time to really listen to him. She not only gave him an exceptional cut with lots of texture and layers, but also gave him tips on how to manage the look. Will be back again for sure!! read more

Meg is the absolute best! I first happened upon Westfolk Salon by chance when my corgi ran inside *(ALWAYS a good sign) and sought Meg out for a treat (they always have dog cookies!). After a few months of walking by I hit Meg up for a haircut, and was blown away by what an INCREDIBLE job she does... and at such a good price! I used to get my hair done in West Hollywood at a bougie salon, so I can say with certainty that the haircuts here are seriously up to snuff. Meg is such a sweet, kind person as well, which makes the whole experience an A+ from start to finish. If you're in Studio City, Sherman Oaks, or nearby, this is place needs to be your go-to. read more
