    I had a disappointing experience with Niurka. I came in originally for a root bleach. The stylist…read moretold me my hair was too weak for additional bleach, so I change my decision and showed a clear photo of exactly what I wanted to avoid additional bleach. She never explained that the result would look completely different from the photo. I ended up with something nothing like what I asked for and still paid $150 for it. When I expressed my concerns, she said it was "pretty," but that doesn't change that it wasn't what I requested. She offered for me to come back, but after this experience, the trust isn't there. She also required me to pay through Venmo as a Friends payment even though this was a business service, which leaves customers without any protection. If this happens to you, you can report it directly to Venmo, and you can submit concerns about improper business practices through the IRS's public tip form.(IRS Form 3949-A -- Information Referral) Based on my experience, I wouldn't return.

Definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. 10/10

    I've been coming to Tammy for cuts for years, and absolutely love how my hair always comes out…read more Today was my first time going to Kelsey and had an equally great experience! I have extra thick long hair and she was able to give me exactly what I asked for.

    I wanted to dye my hair here and decided not to after my consultation. Like the owner here likes to…read moresay, "the vibes were off". I walked into the salon and I don't know if it's because I don't fit the look of the clients here, but the owner stops talking to the client she was working on and stares me up and down and lets me just stand there looking lost because I wasn't sure where I was supposed to wait to meet with Kelsey. It's a tiny salon too so she was just staring directly up and down at me like a weirdo and doesn't say a word to me, then continues to talk to her client. I eventually peeked in the other room to see if Kelsey was there and she seemed nice and asked me to have a seat and give her few minutes. Personally I think customer service goes a long way, long enough for me to decide where I will and won't spend a few hundred dollars. The owner seems full of it so this review is mostly for others who feel customer service is important (especially when you're paying for it!). As a Latina, it's exhausting trying to find good businesses that are not pretentious and snobby in the South Bay. As it is, I already feel out of place in RPV, it's apparent the owner wants only a specific type of clientele, just read her responses on the one star reviews here. As for Kelsey, she seems sweet and the only thing that made me realize I wasn't coming back, was when she told me she would text me later that day to send me photos of ideas she had for my hair and she never did. After a week of not getting a red, I realized I just didn't get a good vibe. Mostly because when I looked back at Yelp I realized there were reviews on poor customer service and then it confirmed this bad feeling I initially had after the consultation.

    Great hair care and relaxing experience!…read more I've been coming to Salon Kharazi for years, and every time, Kash and Angela are taking a great care of me! Kash and Angela are attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. My hair looks amazing, and I am really enjoying my time at the salon!

I highly recommend Salon Kharazi for a friendly family atmosphere and outstanding hair care!

    It was my second visit to this salon; I stopped in in a couple of years ago for color and it was…read moreok. I came back based on a referral and the yelp reviews. Service requested was a root touch up to cover my grey and to tone down the brassiness from some old highlights. I was specific on what I wanted and what I did not want, including sending photos before and after. Unfortunately, the service that I received was far from correct and acceptable. My experience here was unpleasant, too much of a dismissive attitude with games and excuses to not make this right and ultimately making me feel as if I did something wrong. No issues when I arrived, he greeted me and we discussed the plan. While I sat in his chair, there were a number of things that could have been done better, at the end of the day, it is how comfortable a customer is made to feel. If a customer comes to a salon, it's to feel better, it's a Zen for some of us, not a place to sit there and hear unfounded medical theories about dementia, or other gender related comments. Be sensitive, you never know who is in your chair, and what their family may be dealing, this made me so uncomfortable. I sat in that chair hearing about everything else chatting up amongst themselves and taking personal phone calls, yet no focus on my hair. If a customer pays for a master colorist, the expectation is that you do it, not someone else, in my case, the young lady washing hair. Mentor the hair washer person to not rub the water head in someone's skull, it is painful, I left the salon with hives. For the toner selection: As the colorist, you should be working with your client to select it, not have your client to do it for you. A client has no concept, or training on the color mix and how things will look. This is an out to waive any accountability, not cool, not appreciated. Do right by the customer, this is your community, we invest in it and support it, we come here to you based on referrals, so to find every excuse and inconvenient times to have me return is not a great business practice. Lastly, in years of getting my hair color not once has someone left the toner for so long and with a cap under the heat. My hair is dry now, crunch, and brittle causing breakage. To date, no response provided, he went radio silent. No partial refund provided as requested, zero accountability. My hair remains a mess. Anyone else would have asked for the entire refund if they saw my hair, however, unlike this salon, I have respect and still compensate for the time that he took to do my roots. Other than doing my roots and mix the toner, he did nothing else. My charge was $200, plus a $20 tip to the person that washes the hair.

    This was my first ever hair color and it was a very big transformation since I basically wanted to…read morego blonde from natural thick black hair. I'm so so glad I went to Nikki to get it done! Thank you Nikki and Joe for working on me for 5-6 hours to get this done. Honestly, I almost feel bad because Nikki would explain to me the process in detail and I would be clueless and just nodding my head since this was my first time and I got no clue about being blonde along with the technical terms included in the process of doing it. She knew this and changed her way of explaining so that I could understand it better. Haha. Things I learned was 1 close my eyes when they're rinsing off the bleach, 2 also close my eyes when I'm on the dryer with the bleach and 3 take all the stretch breaks that's offered. There's always a first time for everyone. The results were amazing!! I was nervous, scared and excited because it was a big change but also I didn't know if the color was gonna match me. She assured me that it would look great and it takes a lot to say something like that because that just meant that she knew what she was doing and it was true. Experience was great! She also fixed my chunky haircut and made it more streamlined which ultimately shaped it up to look amazing. We also did a trial run of curls to see how long it would hold if I decided to get it done a day before my nurse graduation this month. Not to mention they're so eager to help out with your progress shots too. Thank you so much!! Will definitely be back in the future. :)

    [Review #751] 2023-037…read more After 20+ years with my hair stylist/colorist, Shirley, I haven't done much with my hair since her retirement about a decade ago. I've been butchering my hair myself & occasionally using packaged dyes since then. I don't have any girlfriends who uses a local stylist, & I used to trek to Sherman Oaks for my gal. I wanted someone closer for me, & possibly my teenage who's interested in hair fashion as well as color; though I'm holding off on that for a couple of years until she's in high school. I thought I would try Groupon for a trial run of my next permanent stylist so I'm not paying full price in case it doesn't work out. Salon Farouk popped up on my feed for a "one single process color with shampoo & blow-dry"... what caught my eye was the model's hair -- rich, gorgeous locks. While I needed a haircut more than I need my hair colored, I wouldn't mind covering my grays that somehow exploded almost overnight during COVID-19 lockdown. I paid for the deal in spring & promptly forgot about it until I received a reminder of its upcoming expiration in 2 weeks. I called in & spoke with a friendly voice, Norma, & booked my appointment just days before the expiration. Although Salon Farouk is located on busy PCH, they have a private lot so no parking issues here. The salon has plenty of stations & 3 hair washing stations; the space is clean, open, & bright. Stylist Norma Abdous was stationed by the door, finishing up on a blowout for her client. I got seated in a couple of mins., then perusing their color portfolio to figure out my color. I was debating on a mahogany, dark blue or purple (dark so it matches my black hair but a pop of color in the sun); I picked blue-black. I was covered with a cape, & Norma carefully greased my hairline around to my nape before painting my hair. She was about 2/3s done before running out of color. I'm kinda surprised since I've lost about 1/3 of my hair during lockdown. \(`0´)/ Maybe I have more hair than what the rubber band shows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The painting took about 45-mins., which was fairly quick; my norm when I had more hair was ~75-mins. I guess the coloring process has advanced, only waited 30-mins. before getting shampooed. WARNING... do not wear earrings as they might come off during the wash! Mine did, luckily it was large enough to be caught by the drain catch. Semi-rookie mistake since it's been awhile I visited a hair salon. The color process with shampoo & blowout took almost 2 hours, way faster than my younger visits. Norma did a wonderful job in taking care of my grays. I'll be back to consult with her for my 13 YO after her current cut grows in, & when she's ready for the world of hair fashion.
