Just because I am hair challenged (by the way, I can still grow a full head of hair on top, just don't have a lot of it) does not mean I cannot recognize a great business when I see one and even recommend this salon to others. Sandra and April are the co-owners of this salon and they will have their official grand opening on the beginning of February. They relocated to this studio in the Mandarin Plaza in Chinatown recently, retaining all their clientele from the previous Silver Lake location. Both are very experienced, highly rated hair stylists and make-up artists with a large client base that include celebrities and high profile public figures. They continue to get much praise, support and recommendations for their great work. One of their ardent supporters and loyal clients is a friend of mine. On a personal level, I find both ladies to be very warm, friendly and engaging. They love what they do and it shows. Checkout their website to book appointments, read their bios and find out about their services and costs: https://widowspeaksalon.com/ You can also follow them on Instagram to see photos and videos of their superb work: https://www.instagram.com/widowspeaksalon/ Their studio is on the second floor of a well known two-story courtyard mall, the Mandarin Plaza. It is very quaint, well set-up, feng shui with plenty of natural light that comes through from the large glass walls. There is a parking garage adjacent to the plaza where an all-day flat fee is $5. Private restrooms, for tenants and their guests, are in the plaza. They are clean, safe (can only be accessed with a key) and I like that it is very close to the studio but not actually inside. Popular nearby restaurants on Broadway include Chego!, Howlin' Rays and Yang Chow, which is across the street. read more

First appointment at Widows Peak Salon today for a haircut with Sandra. Sandra is so great! 5 stars is not enough! I like to keep my hair as long as possible so Sandra gave me a lot of fun layers. This is the definitely the best haircut I've had in a while - perhaps ever! Sandra is also very kind and fun to talk to. And the space is beautiful! Thanks Sandra! read more

I have never had a better experience at a hair salon. I went in for haircut with April a few months back. April was so attentive and listened to my ideas and translated that into the perfect haircut. She was knowledgeable about hair care and gave me lots of helpful tips about products and styling. My hair looked amazing and it complemented me better than any haircut I've ever received. The salon is super cute inside, as is the plaza where it's located. Tip: Stop by the cute tea house under the salon on your way out! read more

Ladies and Gentlemen, Widow's Peak Hair Co is open. I've been following April Ferri for years, and her first outing as a salon owner doesn't disappoint. They can perfect your hair in any style you want, but this is the place to go for beyond the curve hair trends and styles. If you see some new look you MUST have, April is already on the bubble. Check out this amazing French Crop with Emo-Boy-Blue I just got done. I am in love. There is no doubt in my mind you will leave with a new found confidence and love of yourself, you bad ass you. read more

I got a new cut and color from Sandra this past weekend. She is so amazing and went beyond what I thought possible for my hair! The salon is very covid-safe and relaxing. Widows Peak is a hidden gem and I'm always excited to go back. read more

I've went to this salon a couple of times now. And honestly, the first time was the best as Sandra was able to get the color I've been wanting. The next two visits, however, were unfortunate as Sandra 1) cut my hair too much and couldn't achieve the long layers that I've wanted.. and 2) she did not bleach my hair as light as I've wanted and she did not put in the dye afterwards. Also, she rushed the job and allowed me to walk out with wet hair as there was another client. I've paid over $200 for each visit, and the service was crap. Overall, a waste of money and I suggest you go to another professional salon that's willing to take their time and put in the effort. read more

I LOVE SANDY! She's been doing my hair for years and she finally bought a salon! She's so good with balayage and color and being a blonde I like to go natural. She really nails the natural look. She listens to what her clients want and always makes sure I'm happy before I leave. She and April have a great thing going and to top it off this China town location is so cute. I highly recommend both Widows peak and Sandy for any of your hair stylin', Color, and cut needs. read more

Widows Peak Salon - Sandy doing the final touches! - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Let me start by saying this place is super cute! There is a lot of natural light, it's roomy and comfortable, and the decor puts me in a good mood. The women running this salon are awesome too! April and Sandy are very sweet, and they both have a lot of loyal clients. So I always make appointments in advance! April has been styling my hair for over 4 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is forever hearing me out about my hair dreams, whether they are realistic or not, and I always agree with what she recommends is the best treatment. She keeps my hair looking and feeling healthy every time! Definitely check out their products too! They have the best hair masks and conditioners. Talk to April or Sandy about which masks are best for you to use between trims, they work wonders! read more

If there were more stars to give I would! I've been looking for a hair stylist since moving from San Diego, and thank goodness I found Daniella. Her hospitality is phenomenal, and refreshingly kind. She gave life back to my hair, and saved it from all the product buildup I had. She gave me exactly the cut I was after, and beyond more! Daniella shared all the essential tips and tricks to style and care for my locks, she's truly an expert. She used the best products on my hair, not only did they smell amazing, but had my hair feeling it's best! Her salon is BEAUTIFUL, clean, and so peaceful. Her chairs are the most comfortable I've ever sat in in a salon, accompanied by a relaxing scalp massage. Parking is easy, which we all know is rare in LA. Hands down best experience I've had in a salon, I will be recommending EVERYONE to go see Daniella. read more

Widows Peak Salon - Love my hair cut and experience, Daniella definitely goes above and beyond! - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been getting my hair cut and colored here for the past 2 years with Sandra. I can't recommend her and this salon enough! I underwent hair loss after cancer treatment. Sandra made sure I stepped out feeling my best every single time I went to her. She intuitively knew what suits me the most and was very attentive to my queries. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could! Highly recommended!! read more

Widows Peak Salon - My cotton candy hair thanks to Sandra! - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Just glanced at a few of the reviews and couldn't agree more - got highlights and a cut yesterday and it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. Got a great update to my highlights (baby blonde, with the tone that I like - sandy/icy rather than golden/brassy) and a chic short cut. Throughout the process Daniella paid attention to all the little details that others sometimes miss, even in styling my hair at the very end. Daniella's studio has all the good parts of luxe salons, and none of the BS. Daniella is suuuuper cool and chill and I had FUN hanging out with her. We were lolling up a storm. AND she's not judgmental or pretentious about hair stuff. Very chic studio, nice beverages (seltzer yay), great products, nice lil massage in the comfy shampooing chairs!! Go!!!!! read more

Had a great first experience with Daniella this weekend and I'm here to sing her praises! Her studio is beautiful and her service is exceptional in every way. I was looking for new hair stylist on the east side and a friend recommended Daniella. She took the time to talk through different ideas for my haircut and toned down my 11 month old bleach color that had turned....sour. Studio: is Upstairs in a little plaza in Chinatown. There is parking down below and she gives you a validation that is much cheaper than the meters! Studio itself is crisp, clean, modern, and had a great vibe all around. Products were A+. She gives you (if you want one - you can also opt out!) a fantastic scalp massage with essential oils, and uses high end styling tools. She gave me some great tips and advice on how to style my hair for a quick, out-of-the-shower look. I am THRILLED with my haircut and color and can't wait to come back! read more

This weekend I had my first ever Brazilian Blowout with Daniella. It was AMAZING and I think I am actually addicted now! From the second I walked in Daniella was so welcoming and friendly. I've never had such a great time getting my hair done because of the great conversation and the chic boho inspired atmosphere. I am extremely selective with whom I choose to touch my hair and Daniella is definitely now going to be my go to girl. Thank you so much Daniella for giving me the best Brazilian Blowout ever and I cannot wait to come back!! read more

Daniella is truly amazing. Not only is she great to hang and talk with - her hair talents are out of this world! She really listened to my vision and did everything possible to bring it to life. The end results were even better than I hoped for! Not to mention the salon is adorable. AND there's a convenient parking garage downstairs as well as a great coffee shop! This is my favorite hair salon in LA by far We went through correcting, extensions, highlights, toners and lots of espresso to achieve this dreamy beachy look and I couldn't be happier. read more

Sandra is the best ! She's super sweet and she reminded me of one of my best friends.She also helped my natural curls come back and I look forward to my hair journey with her . Can't wait to go lighter with my highlights! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! Daniella is so nice even before I came in she took the time to answer all of my questions over email. During my visit she gave me water and guided me through the whole process as to what she was putting on my hair. Even though I had box dyed my hair about a month ago, she lifted it pretty well and the results were beautiful! On top of her great personality and kindness, the salon is super affordable! read more

Widows Peak Salon - Full balayage highlights - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I got my haircut here, and I was quite excited to get layers added. I explained how I wanted (keep length, no shag, and how I like the volume I have in my hair) and also explained that my hair isn't thick. This is also my first time letting my hair grow out and now I had to go to a different salon to get it short. I wanted layered cut, and she over thinned my hair. She went through the razor each section she cut. I felt it more as a shag. Not even the styling helped my hair. I thought maybe the products was too heavy so I went home and washed my hair.. sadly it was just too thinned out. I ended cutting it shorter so it can at least feel volume on my hair. Now, back to growing out my hair. The stylist is very sweet, and I felt comfortable with her ..I guess our consultation got lost. read more

I love Brenda and would follow her anyplace! I am so happy she landed at Widows Peak. Great salon, love that it is in China town and highly recommend. Cody read more

Love love the ladies of Widows Peak and the work they do! I've been going to April for the past 5 years (since she was at Fandango in Silverlake) and she's so great about getting you the cut, color, and style/look you want. Now that I'm a regular I hardly have to say much of anything when I come in - she just remembers and knows what to do, and I always come out feeling stellar! She also never tries to upsell products and is super down to earth and realistic with you about your hair care routine and what's best for you depending on how much you want to put into it. She's also just a hilarious, kind, and all around amazing lady. I've left other salons sometimes feeling like I have no idea how to style my hair after or use all the different products the right way. The space is gorgeous and April and Sandra are so warm and welcoming - plus I love supporting a local business from great hardworking people. Sandra is also a total queen and so good at what she does- she's filled in before when my bangs need a touch up and is a talented and awesome gal! read more

I've been getting my hair cut and colored by April for the past 3 years after my last hairdresser moved away. I always leave the salon happy with exactly the look I was going for, and that's saying a lot! Not everyone knows how to cut thick, wavy Asian hair and make it look great and easy to manage, but April gets it right every time. She's so fun to hang out with and always has great suggestions when I'm feeling a little indecisive. I'm so excited for this new salon in Chinatown April! Can't wait to see you soon! read more

Daniella is amazing. I am so happy to see her grow into such a successful stylist. I love when we collaborate on new colors to do on my hair. Every visit with her is so much fun. Her salon is GORGEOUS, clean, and very modern. She has great taste in salon chairs and the shampoo bowl is so COMFORTABLE, there is a pillow and a big cushy chair to make you feel like the Queen you are! Her attention to detail is fantastic and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. As a fellow stylist, it's hard to let someone else do your hair but Daniella always puts my mind at ease. Sit back and relax, you're in talented hands. xoxoxo read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Daniella and the amazing hairstylist that she is. She totally listened to what I wanted, looked at pictures with me, and TOOK HER TIME. Do you know how rare that is? Like she cut it to one length and I told her that I probably wanted it shorter so she said, "Well let's see how you feel after I cut the layers into this length" and when she was done I still wanted to go shorter so she went back and repeated the whole painstaking process to a shorter length that I wanted. I really appreciated her artistry and she did a phenomenal job styling my hair and giving me tips on how to reproduce the salon results. I live an hour away but the drive was and will be worth it when I return because at this point I have no reason to look anywhere else! Thank you Daniella for an amazing experience!! read more

This was my first haircut since moving from Chicago and was fantastic. My sister goes to April and it's pretty far from where I live - but so worth it. I finally got the cut I've been wanting for years! Thick curly bangs and nice layers to bring more of my curls out. And it only took 35/40 min easy peasy. Already made my next appt! read more

What an awesome place to get yourself a haircut! I needed to fix my shaggy hair before the holidays and April hooked me up. I let her know a few particulars and she worked her magic. The great part is I've already gotten compliments from family members! To make the deal even sweeter this place has convenient street parking and super affordable covered garage parking next to the salon. I'm definitely coming to Windows Peak and April for my next haircut! read more

Hands down one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I went to April for a trim on my long very thick hair, sort of last minute. I e-mailed expecting a long wait but she responded immediately and was able to squeeze me in that night. She was so cool and she did an amazing job, quickly, too! Again, having thick hair I'm used to it taking ages for a stylist to wash, dry and style me. I haven't returned to the same stylist in the last 5 years because I haven't found a good one -- but I am all IN for Widows Peak. I can't wait to come in again and get another trim from April! read more

I've been going to April for years now, so of course I followed her to her new salon in Chinatown's Mandarin Plaza. The salon feels fresh and open, yet inviting. The tasteful design is just a bonus, though. April could open up shop in a dumpster and I'd still go to her. She's a pro with my blonde hair-leaving it looking natural and toned perfectly every time- and is always down to do a playful color when I feel like switching it up, all for a reasonable price. If you're looking for a hair stylist that is precise, thorough and knows their shit...make an appointment with April. read more

There is legit no one else I will let touch my hair besides Daniella! I've been a client of hers for 2 years, and she's really outdone herself every time - it can be a simple blowout and she still makes the experience phenomenal. I'm also the kind of person who gets a little anxious about talking to folks during the long process of coloring my thick, long hair (it takes a while!), but Daniella is super kind, funny, and easy to talk to. She's also EXTREMELY reasonably priced. You get amazing quality for an amazing price - you seriously can't go wrong. I've recommended her to multiple friends who have walked out of the salon just as happy as I have. Don't walk, run to her studio ASAP! read more

Daniella has magic in her hands, she is truly amazing when it comes to hair. Every time​ I leave her salon my hair feels and looks its best. She goes above and beyond to make her clients feel comfortable and is such a lovely person to be around. The most important thing is that I completely trust her with my hair and every time I am in her salon I am confident that I am gonna walk out with gorgeous hair. On Daniella's recommendation, I recently got a Brazilian Blowout to tame my frizzy and dull looking hair. My natural​ hair is quite difficult to manage, I basically can't step out of my house without styling it. I wanted something more manageable for the summer so I could go to the beach without having to worry about my poofy frizzy hair. Honestly, at first I was a bit skeptical about the treatment​ because I thought just like every other protein treatments, this was also going to weigh down my thin, fine hair. However, Daniella told me the treatment can be customized as per your liking (which is amazing) and assured me that I will still have volume in my hair after the treatment. As always, I trusted her opinion and went for it and honestly, I couldn't be happier that I did. I am in LOVE with how my hair looks and feels right now. My curls are much more relaxed and my hair is frizz-free (!!!), full of shine and looks super healthy. The treatment helps preserve the hair color for longer, which is a huge plus for me. Another great thing about it is that it cuts the blow dry and styling time in half. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone wanting more manageable, frizz-free and smooth hair for the summer. Please go to Daniella, she is a true professional and knows what she is doing. Her salon itself is so aesthetically pleasing and her service is the best I have ever received. She is such a delightful person and I always look forward to my appointments with her. Go to her for anything hair, I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Daniella came as a recommendation from one of my best friends as I was commenting on how obsessed I am with her hair-- and boy was I glad for the referral. Daniella does an amazing job, but on top of that the experience of being in her salon is great. Not only was I in love with my hair, but when I got home my mother (who is extremely critical) took one look at my hair and said "wow, she's good!" Which is the highest of high praises, and for once, my mom and I agree on something! I highly recommend Daniella to literally anyone and everyone, she's that good. read more

Daniella is an artist when it comes to hair. I came in in desperate need of a haircut and with my blond hair basically being two different blocks of color (it looked awful). Daniella sat me down and we talked about what I wanted, went through photos, and walked me through every option to get the results I wanted to achieve. I honestly couldn't be more happy with the results. My highlights/lowlights look amazing, and because of the haircut my hair actually has LIFE now. I actually look forward to doing my hair every morning! All thanks to Daniella. Lastly, it's a joy to come to the salon. Daniella has done an amazing job decorating the place and making you feel comfortable and relaxed in the space. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Multiple of my friends have complimented me on my new hair, and I'm telling all of them to go to Daniella. Trust me you won't regret it. read more

Been getting my hair done with April Ferri for 7 years now and I'm FUCKING SO GLAD her Salon closer to dtla! Chinatown needed a legit Salon with fun and experienced hair stylists. Trust her with Barber type fades and she even does fun coloring without making me look like a dweeb. Check em out. read more

Daniella is the BEST ever! As soon as I walked in the door, she was so friendly and made me feel right at home. She consulted my hair needs and gave me her recommendations, making me feel informed and in charge of my look the entire time. I was there for a few hours, and I had a great time getting my hair done but also getting to know a genuinely great person! I loved how my hair turned out & left feeling so much more confident in myself. If you're in the Los Angeles area, make sure to give her salon a visit and you won't leave disappointed! :) read more

I am obsessed with how Daniella has transformed my hair. On my first visit, I asked her to take my dark brown all the way to a perfect pastel rose gold, and she not only nailed the color, she somehow made my hair feel healthier and softer than when I walked in. Several months later, I was ready to go a totally different direction, to a warm auburn-red, and she completed that transition so elegantly, too. Never before have I gotten so many compliments on my hair (Once even from actual Kerry Washington! What?), Daniella herself is a kind and darling human being, and I always look forward to coming in for an appointment. read more

Honestly, Daniella is amazing. I can't and won't go to anybody else. She is an artist. She can take direction very well or create something equally as beautiful. When I was younger I had a hairstylist that could create the image I had in my mind, exactly. I never thought I'd find somebody who could do that but Daniella can. She is so sweet and inviting.

I moved to Los Angeles, CA in November 2017 and was looking for a new hairstylist near me! I've been going to the same hairstylist for 12 years back home in Dallas, TX so needless to say I'm very picky about who touches my hair! I had the opportunity to work with Daniella Benita and she is officially my girl here in LA!! She brought my hair up shorter with gorgeous textured layers on the bottom and added blonde balayage to the bottom to get my summer ready. Daniella offered me green tea as soon as I got seated-- her personality is just as sweet as the boutique studio! The prices are affordable too so I would heavily suggest checking her out once and you'll fall in love! My husband and I will both be going to her from now on. - Nita from @nextwithnita read more

I loveeee love coming here to get my hair done! Daniella always knows exactly the look I am going for and nails it! Her salon is the cutest and coziest! I definitely recommend her if you're looking for a stylist who is cool and has great taste in hair! She's the best! read more

I talked to a dozen friends and scoured yelp. I finally ended up here and couldn't be happier with my haircut.

Daniella gave me a perfect cut and is so approachable and kind. I love the clean, comfortable, and hip decor. La Croix and the most comfortable salon chair I've ever sat in? Sold! read more
