LMG Studio

I started going to the crew when they were all at another salon. When they moved, so did I. Nobody else can do blondes like Gary or work Laurant’s magic. Even after I moved out of state, I still fly in whenever I can. There is nobody else this gifted with hair.

Elena is THE hair stylist to go to! She saved my hair! I was beyond overdue for a trim, and I had a pretty bad haircut that had outgrown badly, and had to curl my hair on a daily basis for the past three months to disguise my hair. On top of curling it, I’m a swimmer, and I’m on my college swim team, so basically my ends were fried, and dry. I’ve been wanting to grow my hair out for about a year now but every time I get a haircut it gets chopped off to my chin, and it never grows out nicely. Thanks to Elena, she took her time finding out what I wanted, and what I needed, and balanced it out beautifully. She took a lot of weight off, every strand of dead hair, and STILL managed to leave my hair at a reasonable length! I’m so in love with my hair, it shines, its bouncy, and full of life thanks to Elena. I definitely recommend to go to her for your hair needs, she’s truly a miracle worker! Thanks again Elena!

Very friendly salon! Garry is fantastic with brunettes, the best I have seen, and I have been around. Elaina gave me an excellent haircut. The grow out looks as good as when it was first done 4 weeks ago. Prices very reasonable!

I came here after going to another salon who gave me the worst haircut. I went to LMG the next day and Elena fixed everything! She does fabulous work and was able to turn my horrible haircut into something that was gorgeous. She is meticulous and doesn’t cut corners. I am so thankful for her and this great salon! The salon is clean and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this place and especially Elena Flores!

Great! Made a same day appointment with Laurent who was confused when I asked for a «makeover». He thought hair, and I intended make up session. Big difference but no problem. The artist, Jessica would be free when she finished with her client. I did have a great discussion with Laurent about world politics and religion. I felt as angry and frustrated as he about Charlie Hebdo. I guess what prompted this discussion was the «Je Suis Charlie» sign on one of the mirrors.
Jessica was great! Sweet, warm, funny. We shared funny stories about life and make up. Lol. I asked her for sort of a toned down elegant and glamourous look for the evening and she delivered!!! I was very happy with the look she created.
Parking is valet sharing the same lot as Fogo De Chao so $ 5.50 for 2 hours. There is street parking as well but it is very limited. (I got lucky last night)
The salon itself is bright and clean and at this time, late Friday afternoon/​early evening was not too busy.

Robear is amazing! Always does magazine quality work every time! The salon has a great upscale yet friendly vibe. If you’re looking for a stylist come see Robear at LMG. Although all the stylists seem to have a strong client base and they all seem to be great.

So I basically got scammed an extra 75 on top of a terrible «$ 125» trim job, since I was charged $ 200, because it’s «on the website» although it has said 125 for any woman cut this entire time. I really want a refund.

My boyfriend introduced me to this lovely salon, Rebecca is friendly and always gracious on the phone. The staff is amazing, really love the color of my hair created by Moonie! She is great to work with, listens to what I desire and also very personable. I have received many compliments and highly recommended her and Laurent!
I love the way Laurent cut and styled my hair for a special wedding we attended recently.
Parking next door is valet — $ 5 for two hours!

I’ve been getting my lashes at LMG for over a year now. I had never had lash extensions before but I have seen people with different types. I have to say that out of all the ones I’ve seen these were the most natural and luxurious looking! They used two sizes and blended them which looked so awesome! I’m so beyond obsessed with these lashes that I cannot imagine not ever having them. I would definitely recommend LMG for lashes!

I have been getting my lashes done at LMG for years. I have never had anything but compliments. After seeing Lisa L’s post I decided to post this. Lisa L’s ridiculous comments and pathetic plug for another lash studio shows her true colors. Lisa L posted a picture of her cut hair claiming it was her eyelashes. If you scroll through the rest of the pictures you will see actual lashes. I feel sorry for you Lisa L you need help.

I bought a life booker for one set, plus 3 months of extensions. I have had eye lash extensions for at least 3 yrs by 2 other people. When I went to get the initial set, I thought they looked okay (not great). I thought it was strange when the gal told me to come back once a month for the fills. That didn’t seem right. Way too long.
Within days I noticed that I could see clumps of glue and many lashes started to twist and there was no way to get them straight. Plus it looked like there were many lashes on just one. Within 2 weeks they looked terrible and when I called to get a fill to get them fixed I could not get one for 2 weeks. Prior to the appointment I called life booker because I wanted a refund on the purchase of the 3 months of fills. I guess life booker is not like groupon or living social because they do not give you a credit if you are unhappy with a vendor. They called LMG to see if they would issue a refund but they would not so I decided to go in for a fill hoping that the first time was a fluke. On my visit, I even told the gal about my issues with the lashes. Again. Same outcome. They looked ok but when I got home I could see some lashes actually stuck to my eyelid and not the lash. The started to look really bad in about 2 weeks and I don’t know what kind of glue they use but it is like cement. If a lash is totally twisted or something you pretty much cannot get it off without pulling out lashes. I tried everything to get them off. Steaming, baby oil, eye lash glue remover. I ended us cutting the lashes down to my own natural lash length because they were so messed up. I made another appointment but solely to have them taken off. When I called life booker again before my appointment to once again express my dissatisfaction, I got the same result. Then I left work early to go to get the lashes OFF but on my way their the salon called me to tell me they had canceled my appointment because of my call to life booker. I said I wanted to keep it to get the lashes taken off. I was told THEY DONT PERFORM THAT SERVICE! How the hell do you do lash extensions and never remove lashes? So basically I ate almost $ 100 and now and I am stuck with this crap on my lashes till they EVENTUALLY come off! Ughghgh. Oh and btw. Looking at my top lashes, that don’t have lashes on them, well they are literally about half the length of my bottom lashes! Which tells me that they had fallen out because of the lashes and were starting to grow back in. I will be going back to Nzuri Lash which does a beautiful job but is a little expensive. As to Lifebooker. I will not buy anything from them unless I have already dealt with the vendor and know I am happy with them.

Just cancelled my appointment through a call from Lifebooker, not even personally, 20 minutes before my appointment on a Saturday evening when I needed the cut and blowout to go to an event tonight. Cannot recommend!

I’m a nightmare. There’s not a single hair stylist that wants to cut my hair twice. I wait until I absolutely can’t take it anymore, and then I show up at a salon, incapable of expressing what kind of cut I want. Instead, I just say I hate my hair, that it always looks like shit, and to fix it.
I booked an appointment at LMG mainly because it’s close to my apartment and I couldn’t be bothered to actually drive. When the stylist, Elena, asked what I wanted to do, I told her that I didn’t care. I just wanted it to look good. Halfway through the cut, she asked what I thought, and I said: «It still looks like shit.»
I can’t believe she put up with me. I can’t believe she figured out what I wanted despite my inability to express it, and gave me a killer haircut.
I’m an asshole. Elena is great.

This review is for Jessica who did my lash extensions here. The pros: Jessica is really sweet, the entire staff seemed really genuine and I didn’t get attitude from anyone (which happens sometimes when you are using a deal like lifebooker, which is the case with me). The lashes looked amazing and lasted really well. The last time I got lash extensions I still felt like I needed mascara but this time I haven’t needed any at all. The cons: if you are a lash extension newbie, then Jessica doesn’t really offer up alot of info regarding care for your lashes (ie: not using wp mascara, or oil based removers etc) however, I came in knowing what to do so this wasn’t an issue. Also, these lashes are seriously very durable so it could be that she doesn’t think its the biggest deal. The actual area where the lashes are applied is not necessarily a luxurious experience (with music or lighting etc) but once again, this doesn’t bother me personally. My lashes on one eye did get badly tangled but Jessica was able to fix it at my next fill very well although it was a little more painful than the initial application. All in all, I highly recommend Jessica, and the salon itself seems to be a friendly atmosphere. Also, there is metered street parking or valet for 5 $ for 2 hours.

Jessica did a good job applying a full set of natural looking lash extensions. The lashes lasted well over 4 weeks!
The salon has convienent parking lot (shared with Fogo de Chao) which for this area is key.

When I first moved to LA, my friend who is neurotic about her hair recommended Maurice at LMG. After the first cut, I knew that he was my new stylist. I won’t let anyone else cut my hair.
Maurice has great attention to detail. He knows exactly how to trim, shape and layer my super long hair. and how to keep it super long! My hair looks so healthy & amazing after I see him. I highly recommend Maurice!

I’ve had long, straight hair my entire life. I’ve always thought that it didn’t make sense to pay for an expensive hair cut since I just keep it all one length, so I typically just get a $ 40 hair cut at the mall. I decided to give LMG a try since I had a bunch of liefbooker credits that got the price down to an amazing $ 53 for a professional hair cut in Beverly Hills.
I lucked out because none of the stylists were available so Maurice B, one of the owners (the «M» in LMG) took care of me himself (wow! $ 53 for a $ 160 hair cut? Must have been my luck day).
Everyone in the salon from the girl at reception to the girl that washes your hair was extremely friendly, none of that pretentious Beverly Hills crap. Note that the wash, cut and dry does take a while (I was in there for over 2 hours) so plan accordingly in terms of time and parking. Maurice was the best… he took the time to talk to me and get to know me and really understand what I wanted in a cut so that I would be happy with the results. He understood that I like to keep my hair long and straight and have never dyed it, and didn’t try to convince me to do anything I didn’t want .
I can easily say it’s the best hair cut that I’ve ever gotten, and it changed my mind to the fact that with a simple haircut it doesn’t matter where I go. He kept it long and straight and simple enough that I can still wash and go, but added just a hint of angled layers in the front and throughout the back to give it some bounce and style. I left the salon extremely happy and feeling beautiful.
GO SEE MAURICE. he’s amazing. and if out of your price range, try to book an appointment on lifebooker. He will definitely be doing all of my future cuts. You can consider my life changed… no more Supercuts for this girl.

The first time I came to LMG for a cut (back in March), I booked a cut and blowout through LifeBooker. I showed up to the address that LifeBooker gave, which was a different salon. After waiting at said salon for ¹⁵⁄₂₀ minutes, with no one inside, I receive a phone call from a man named Dustin. He apologized, saying that the salon that I was given the address for was closed, and that he worked super late and meant to call me the day before, but never got around to it. I was extremely irritated, especially because «I worked so late» is not an excuse in my book. I work in the music industry where 16+ hour days are the norm, and I don’t forget to let people know crucial information. He told me he could accommodate me at the new salon an hour later, and only since I desperately needed a cut before SXSW, I agreed. I showed up to the salon, waited a bit, waited some more (the girl at reception was super friendly and accommodating), then Dustin appears. I’m always nervous with new people touching my hair, but he did a really nice job and that was that. I just figured it was a huge mix up earlier, and that I’d likely return to him.
Last week, I texted Dustin to tell him that I wanted my hair colored. He told me he could do Sunday at noon. It’s now Sunday at 12:48pm, and Dustin is not answering calls or texts, the salon is closed, so I can’t even go inside to speak to anyone, and I’ve planned my freaking day around this appointment. I surely hope there isn’t some sort of crazy emergency, because then I’d feel bad, but considering that this has basically happened before, it just seems to me that Dustin is an extremely unreliable individual. I really wanted to give him another chance. I really wanted him to be my «go-​to» stylist in LA. but I just can’t justify paying someone who is so unreliable and simply doesn’t have any concern for others’ time. It’s not right and it’s not professional in the slightest. Two strikes in a row, and I won’t be trying a third time. Time to find a new stylist!
