Jackie Shaffer at Sola Salon Studios

Jackie did it again!!! My daughter’s hair looks amazing! Jackie knows her craft and always makes my daughter comfortable while sneaking in my wishes (cut off enough to remove the dead ends). Check out the new pic. She went blond!

Jackie is absolutely amazing! I have my hair colored and highlighted. The colors stay for quite a long time without fading. Jackie listens to what you want without trying to impose what she wants (which so many other stylists tend to do). I’ve gotten so many compliments on my hair since I’ve been going to Jackie. She also does great brow waxing. She is a joy to be around! You actually feel re-​energized when you leave the salon by her positive attitude and simply her kindred spirit. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone. She is the Best!

This Unilocal review is long overdue. I found Jackie through Unilocal about two years ago. I’m a curly girl, and I have certainly had my share of hair mishaps. Jackie and I spoke over the phone to set up my first appointment, and I was put to ease by her warm tone and thoughtful questions.
My first appointment with her was amazing. She really listened to what I had to say. She addressed each of my questions and concerns. During the haircut, she showed me what she was doing. She has a meticulous eye for detail. She made sure everything was even and that I was completely satisfied. I never felt rushed.
My first Jackie haircut, and every subsequent haircut since then, has been amazing. I have been stopped in the street and the gym and complimented on my haircut. I have lived in many cities, but nobody has ever stopped me randomly to ask about my hair!
Technique aside, which Jackie clearly has mastered, Jackie is a refreshing breath of fresh air. With her warmth, sense of humor and optimism, I always feel like I walk out a little bit taller. She motivates me in her own Jackie way, and I appreciate it.
I have referred three people to Jackie. Of those three, one actually did follow-​up, and was quite thrilled with her haircut. Another one sadly lives out of state, but after seeing my hair, is really hoping to schedule a Jackie haircut on her next visit to LA.
Sola Salons allows each stylist to rent one individual room. I really love that I don’t have to listen to blow-​dryers or the gossip in the next chair during my haircut. The space is certainly clean and comfortable. The price point is very very reasonable, too.
I will be returning to Jackie as long as she continues to cut hair. I’m so thrilled to have found an absolute gem of a hairstylist!

I found Jackie thanks to Unilocal,and just realized I’ve been seeing her for all of my hairstyling needs for awhile now and have neglected to give her a review! She does a great job, her prices are very reasonable, and she’s great to talk to. Highly recommended.

Jackie ROCKS! How lucky can a girl be to move to a new city and find someone who can give a kick arse cut and color AND have a great conversation with??? This girl! Jackie is truly professional and very gifted as a hair stylist!

Recently moved back to LA and needed a quick cut and style before going to an event. Found Jackie on Unilocal and with some reluctance since so last minute called to see if she could fit me in and she did! Amazing and love the cut.

Jackie is amazing!!! I am in love with my highlights. She did a fantastic job! She is everything I was looking for in a stylist. She is affordable, talented and kind. I highly recommend her!

I have found her! After attending a shower and noting another woman with an amazing cut I asked her where she went. She sent me to Jackie who was my 5^th attempt at a great haircut for my curls and she nailed it! I told her how I like to wear my hair and how I wanted it to fall and she did perfectly! Not only did she give a great hair cut but when she re-​rinsed my hair after the cut to style it (this is a curly-​haired secret… we can’t do anything with our hair after its been brushed out) I knew she was the real deal. I have NEVER had a stylist style my curls better than me… until Jackie!

I cannot say enough things about Jackie Shaffer! She rescued my damaged hair (burnt from over processing and extensions) and restored it back to a happy and healthy condition. She has been doing my hair since 2010 and I keep telling her that she is never allowed to move because she is the best! She has taken my hair from platinum to brown to ombré and back again and it always turned out just how I wanted. I love her haircuts, too. She is always a great go to person for product or styling questions and she keeps her schedule really flexible which is a plus! She listens, takes her time, never rushes you out of her chair and she genuinely enjoys getting to know you. If you care about your hairs– check her out!

I have been going to Jackie for the last 2 years and she is amazing! She listens to what I want, makes a professional recommendation on what she thinks and I always walk away very happy with the result. I really wanted to get a Brazilian Blowout but heard some negative things so I asked Jackie what she thought and much to my surprise and excitement she is certified to do those too! Brazilian Blowouts got a bad reputation due to stylist error. Because I don’t have to worry about that with Jackie, I decided to do it and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I get so many compliments on my hair. It’s super shiny and dries almost completely straight without me having to blow dry it at all (but you can blow dry if you want. I just choose not to when possible). Most importantly it’s not frizzy! She also gave me a bottle of the Brazilian Blowout shampoo and conditioner as part of the service. I am so happy I found Jackie. Not only is she extremely talented, she is VERY reasonably priced. Hard to find that in the South Bay. I would definitely recommend going to her.

Like many of the reviews below, I found Jackie on Unilocal and I’m so glad I found her!
I got a Brazilian Blowout and cut this weekend. It looks and feels amazing! This wasn’t one of those cuts I was happy with at the moment, and ended up not being thrilled about a few days later. Quite the contrary! It’s still amazing. The cut is exactly what I wanted/​asked for, and it looks super shiny and feels incredible because of the Brazilian Blowout treatment! It’s worth every penny!
Jackie is incredibly pleasant to be around, and is amazing at what she does. 20 years of hands-​on experience shows not just in her work, but also how she treats her clients. She’s quite the master!
I hope she’s not planning on leaving her little spot for many years to come. I’ve found my ‘one.‘
Highest of recommendations!

Got a Brazilian Blowout from Jackie just before Thanksgiving and I could not be happier! Jackie is so sweet and pleasant to be around, and she totally knows what she’s doing! I found her through Unilocal and someone else’s positive review, and I am writing to validate that review and to add that Jackie will see me again for sure! Cannot say enough nice things about Jackie and the great job she did on my hair.
I’ve never gone to a stylist who isn’t in a big salon and the set-​up at Sola is unique. Each stylist has their own private quarters and it’s just you and the stylist in the space. Since Jackie is so sweet, it was nice to sit and visit with her in her small setting.
Jackie, if you read this… Merry Christmas!

BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT. I’ve done Karatin treatments in the past, which have been touted as «safer» and «healthier» than the trademark brazilian. Let me tell you, you MUST go to someone who knows what they’re doing and the results are much better than an iffy results of ho-​hum karatin. Jackie knows her stuff, is methodical, and answered all my questions and concerns about a treatment that I feel is worth the price and results! My maintenance time for my hair has dramatically decreased (I mean, 10 minutes late on the freeway in the morning can cost you an extra 40 minutes). Also, my hair is very blonde, fine and double processed. Jackie’s Brazilian Blowout left my hair soft, silky and STRONG feeling. My wavy, beachy hair doesn’t get tangly anymore to where I have to brush out 100 strands of unkempt fly-​aways. Not to mention my hair used to look horrible in the morning upon wakening. Now it’s super fresh and silky and I can run my fingers through it! I was going to just treat myself for the holidays but now I plan on going back to her when I need a touchup. I’ve done 2 keratin treatments in the past but I’m switching to Brazilian Blowouts for all my future appointments! If you want great hair, with honesty and a fair price, go see Jackie. She works with you on an individual level to get the results you’re looking for. Oh, and she cut my hair which I never like to do, I was really pleased with how she cleaned it up but kept the length!

Where do I even begin to express how AMAZING Jackie is? Not only is she the sweetest person, but she is the BEST hairstylist I have been so lucky to meet! I have very long and very thick hair (naturally curly) and she didn’t even shutter at it! She gave me beautiful ombré highlights over a year ago, and they are still going strong and look awesome!
I have never had as many compliments on my hair as when Jackie gets her talented and amazing hands on it! I have been taken for granted, financially that is, on people ripping me off to pay extra just to blow dry my hair. But, not Jackie! She doesn’t even complain when I ask her to blow it dry straight! It always looks shiny and gorgeous, and really gives me a break from blow drying my hair. Her personality is FUN, lighthearted, so friendly and easy to talk to. I always leave feeling like a million bucks!!! I simply LOVE everything about her and I am SO grateful to have found her! I don’t just throw out Unilocal reviews, but when I do, you can be sure that it is 100% the truth!
THANK YOU so much Jackie for always providing me with supreme service of excellence, and making me feel so special! You are a true Gem and there aren’t enough stars here for me to express my gratitude and satisfaction for your professional and friendly services!
You’ve got me for life :)

If you’re reading this, you know how hard it is to find a hair stylist/​colourist who you trust, feel great about seeing and still feel the price is fair. I can make an informed assumption that you have probably found her.
Let me tell you you a little about my hair-​trust issues. For 11 years+ I have been going to the same guy for cut, color and style. Over 11 years, through 3 different salons! I just couldn’t see risking my color and needy, fine hair, to anyone else. It takes SOOO long to build that trust. First world problems, right?
Since moving, I’ve been driving 2 hours round trip to get my hair done, every month for 15 months, I started thinking about finding the impossible — someone else to trust with my hair.
After reading Unilocal reviews with a fine tooth comb and a few wrong fit phone calls with others in my area, after 1 phone call with Jackie, I could sense it might work out. She was honest, down to earth, friendly and completely on the same page aesthetically and sensitive to my unique needs.
My appointment went even better. She magically matched my hair color perfectly, *perfectly* in one shot, even with a different brand of color. She trimmed my bangs into a new style. Chatting with her was fun, even as she’s relaxed and down to earth. She’s just a really honest, fun person, who’s good at doing what she does.
Regarding the space at Sola Salons — this is a little group of small private salon spaces rented out for different beauty & hair people. She has her own salon space, which is perfectly suited if you like to relax, without the chaos and chatter of other clients and stylists around you. I have never liked being on display to a lot of strangers while having my hair done and can’t understand why it’s such a popular way of doing it.
The price — it was so right for my budget. Very, very fair and affordable. I did not walk out with hair to price guilt ratio. I walked out looking great and feeling great.
And the final word: When I walked into my house after my appointment, my husband was truly wowed by my cute new little cut. And I was wowed by his «wow.»
I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. Thanks to the previous few Unilocal reviewers of Jackie.

I am visiting from out of town and was badly in need of a haircut. I chose Jackie based on the reviews here on Unilocal and I was not disappointed! Yay Unilocal!Even though she knew that I was from out of town and that I would probably not be a repeat customer, she treated me as though I was a regular of hers. I am more than pleased with my cut and was much impressed with her friendly manner. I will definitely call Jackie again if I have the pleasure of coming back to El Segundo. Thanks Jackie for a great experience!

I’ve been going to Jackie for haircuts since I moved to Manhattan Beach 2+ years ago (and even once before that when I was visiting a friend), and I couldn’t be happier. As a guy, I used to think barbershops were good enough, but now I know better. Jackie’s haircuts look better and last longer between visits, and the conversation is always great.
I’ve got curly hair, so I’ve had trouble in the past finding a hairstyle that looked good. Jackie suggested a new style that I’d never considered before, and I’ve been getting compliments ever since — genius! I’d recommend Jackie to anybody, guy or girl, who wants a great haircut from a fun hairstylist!

I haven’t Unilocaled in a while but after getting my haircut by Jackie I felt like a good Unilocaling was in order. I visited her in her new space which is super cool. Its really nice to be in a private space without all the salon noise, drama and just general business. You can have a conversation and its just mellow. Jackie is such a doll and is just consistently great. I have been going to her for years now and just wanted to recommend to anyone looking for a good color, cut, blow dry and just the experience of hanging out with this amazing redheaded woman!

Jackie is the BEST!!! Perfect haircut EVERY time. Reasonable price & EXCELLENT service!

when I first met Jackie two years ago my hair was in need of some very serious attention. After a year of non-​stop photo shoots and countless hair designs and changes, I knew I needed to make some necessary changes.
When I walked into Jackies beautiful salon, I was greeted with her welcoming smile and then we sat and talked about my hair needs and goals. It was clear that Jackie’s approach to my hair was a very proactive and time sensitive project.
She was very clear on what I would need to do for optimum hair health and what that would look like over the course of a year. She assured me there would not be an immediate fix but that if I was patient and followed her plan, my hair would be long again and more importantly healthy!
It has been two years now and my hair has regained its thickness and length and is finally soft again to the touch, I could not be happier!
I have Jackie’s experience and knowledge as a salon professional to thank for the wonderful results and now each shoot and show I host, I am confident my hair will look its best and that is worth the weight in gold!
Thank you!
