Simon’s Unique Hair

I usually do not go out of my way to write reviews, but I hate my hair so much that I really felt I had too. I went in for a hair trim yesterday and I asked for long layers. I specifically told him I did not want them too short. He promised me that wouldn’t be the case. Lies! He only gave me two layers. One all the way to my ears another one passing my shoulders. He gave me a mullet!!! I tried to give it a chance, but today when I straightened my hair I realized that my hair was really choppy. I have really short strands underneath my longer strands of hair. Now my hair looks bad whether it is straight or curled. I was better off leaving it as it was and saving myself the 50 $ for a hair cut and simple blow drying, that’s absurd for the area and the amount of hair I have. Do not let Eddie touch your hair!

Updated Review (Long Story I will try to be as detail as possible because I truly hope my experience does not repeat for anyone reading this)
I first went to Eddie back in May 2015 I went in asking for him to take the color I had to blonde I asked him to give me a look like Rachel from the show Friends. My first experience was amazing he did a great job i loved it from the products he used to his technique and how he made me feel so great I went home and wrote a 5 star review for him. What changed you might ask to make me go from a 5 star to a 1 star (which to be honest I would give him a 0 but not possible)? Well here is what happened.
My hair grows really fast and if I may add even faster since Eddie started working on my hair, so I had to go in once a month sometimes twice a month to touch up my roots or to get a toner because my goal was to get to a Blonde hair such as Reese Witherspoon. I would always come in and tell him what I wanted. The first 3 to 5 times I went everything was great in fact. I recommended him to a couple of friends.
But then something happened the last 2 times I went. Right before Xmas of 2015 he first gave me an ombré with super dark roots which at first I liked but that was not what I had asked for. The last time I went on December 20 I believe, again I explained to him I wanted to be blonde Reese Witherspoon blonde he said to me he would give me a darker base with lots of highlights and though he was giving me that darker base it would look much lighter because of the amount of highlights. This didn’t make sense to me given the fact that my hair was so blonde overall already but because I trusted him and he was the expert of 20 something years as he said to me I let him do it. Now this may have been my mistake as much as him I should have stuck to my guts and just said no I want a blonder color. I had spend so much money already going back to dark in my mind was a set back. well no matter what I said he did what he wanted unfortunately not what I asked him. I ended up with a dark brown and some «highlights»
After 2 days I went back to take my mom (which by the way he gave a beautiful red color to her) and without me saying a word he looked at my hair and said «the color didn’t come out right Ill give you a free toner» (which i ended up paying for it wasn’t free) he toned my hair and yes it lighten it up a bit but by that time I was so upset not just for the situation but his demeanor and attitude blaming the whole thing on me saying the shampoo i used had turned the color or the way i cared for my hair. I was upset because HE told me what shampoo to use and I know my hair i always have taken real good care of it.
anyhow i came home and wrote a 3 star review for him with the update. After this is when things got ridiculous. He called my mother’s phone number i answer and because either he recognized my voice or God knows why he didn’t say anything said it was wrong number. in my head he called my mother to tell her something negative about me.
Then he private message me here on Unilocal 3 times each time again blaming me and saying the reason why my hair didn’t come out good was either because of the products i used or whoever had done my hair prior to him had completely messed it up. Which again he had been doing my hair since May till December 2015 at least 6 times in which he bleached my hair twice, if I’m not mistaken bleach gets rid of any previous color, if not I had not the only other person who touched my hair prior to him was back in February 2015 again my hair grows fast and I just can’t see how he could blame anyone else but him.
My 3 star review was not negative towards his work, the product he uses, his technique or his knowledge my review was a 3 star negative because of his attitude and the fact that no matter how many times I asked him and told him my want to go blonde he ended up doing what he wanted not what I asked him for.
Now the reason why I went from a 3 star to a 1 star is because of the fact of the matter that I received verbal attacks from him instead of taking his costumer reviews he attacked me in person and on Unilocal.Oh and by the way every one of those private messages twisted the story he didn’t even remember the situation as it happened every time it was my fault in a different way. I wonder what would have happened if my mother had answered her phone I wonder what he would have said to her about me.

He did not do what I asked for! He charged me $ 140 and just ruined my beautiful hair! I told him many times I did NOT want my hair red. I even showed him a picture of it which was like a copper brown. He insisted that it wouldn’t look red, when the hair dye looked little mermaid red! I was so scared the entire time because he was not listening to what I told him! I wanted my hair copper brown he did it like a burgundy/​mermaid red. It looks so ugly! Never going back! Wish I would’ve gone with my amazing hairstylist which only charges me $ 65 and does an incredible job! Do NOT recommend!

I absolutely love this place! My daughter was scared to get her first haircut but Eddie was awesome! He was patient with her and made her feel comfortable. This is my 3^rd time coming here and i will never go anywhere else. I have my sister, mom and aunts coming here. Best spot in LA.

Como siempre, me encanta que Eddie me ayude a decidir lo que es mejor para mí, me encanta su trabajo, me encanta su amabilidad, me encanta la calidad de sus productos orgánicos que NO dañan el pelo y me encanta que es muy profesional, gracias…

I got over charged $ 170 plus he damaged my hair extensions! never going back!
When you go do your hair ask for prices first before they charge you a ridiculous amount like if you were in Beverly Hills!

I was a bit skeptical at first because it was the first time I got high lights. I must say Eddie made me feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process. I got chestnut highlights on dark chocolate hair and according to Eddy its best to come back every 5 weeks to keep them up. I am more than likely to come back to this Salon. Very reasons prices and friendly staff. They tailor to all ages and also to pin-​up styles (which I love). Thank you Simon I’m happy camper. My hair feels so soft and much healthier then when I came in. The décor is unique as the name implies. I found the walls with signatures added an extra personal touch. Many thanks again for re-​establishing my faith on salons.

I want to start off by saying that I am a very very picky young lady ! With that being said, I LOVE MY NEW HAIR. It has been well over 3 years since a trip to the salon. I live in the area where this salon is located (Huntington park) and let me just say the salons in this area are very disappointing. They’re very old fashion and don’t really know how to give their younger customers the look they really want. That is the reason I was so intimidated by going to a salon cause I was afraid of the results. Here, Eddie knew exactly the look I was going for. He gave my old dark brown hair a whole new blonde balayage look! He also gave me a great cut that looks very natural not all choppy like most places. I recommend this place for sure!

I have hair extensions they have a lady who cuts hair but I wait to see Eddie cuz he knows just how to do my hair. He’s s professional and I always leave it to him to make me feel beautiful. Thx Eddie

first off let me say that I loved their service and he gave me an amazinnnnggg haircut. I came in after calling an hour earlier to save my dull black hair and chopped up bangs. I got exactly that. got a beautiful ash color (HE TURNED MY ASIAN BLACK HAIR INTO A ASH BLONDE!!) the only sad part is that when I got home I realized it’s a little streaky and it’s not fading/​mixing well. I had said I wanted my roots left alone and a balayage because i want my hair to grow out but I still think if shouldn’t be looking so separated. they stayed open half an hour extra after they closed-​6pm to work on my hair so that is appreciated. btw I did hear them mention ion in their product list so if your hair is very thin let I’d suggest to ask for lighter product. I also recommend some OLAPLEX to be used here! the Argan oil smelled good. Simon my love I love the color but next time I go please blend it a little more so I can give you the fifth star I want to.
In short:
Went in at 4pm got out at 6:30 (2 ½hrs)
Got a haircut, tone and blow dry. $ 180 I think there was a discount? I remember hearing the Bayalage was $ 65 and the cut was $ 45 so shouldn’t that be $ 120? anyways I’m not a bad tipper even though it was $ 180 the total was $ 192.
It’s WAY better than the $ 600 some hair salon in koreatown estimated me lol

Update to recent private message from Eddie the owner.
I decided to lower my review from the 3-​star to 1-​star since 0-​stars don’t exist. Instead of taking what customers complain about and working out those details; he attacks customers with verbal insults. His personality is not management material.
Save your money and your hair before he torches it; go elsewhere. Trust your hair will thank me plus you won’t deal with drama.

Definitely a beauty salon and an expert who knows what to do! I have hair thats been thinning due to significant weight loss.
Eddie is whom I had the pleasure of meeting. He is very quite the professional. Literally, I felt like I was in Beverly Hills… without having to pay those over exaggerated prices. Its so hard to explain the immense happiness he brought to my hair. The tips for my hair thinning was so much appreciated. He is a very charismatic person who has several years of experience. I will definitely be coming back again. BTW he created an illusion with my hair… making it seem I had much more hair and also assured me going short just because i think i had no hair so wassoooo not true. Thank u! thank u Eddie! I love love love my new haircut.

About a month ago, I came to Simon’s beauty salon in Huntington park. However, I don’t think I will be returning here again. At first, my hair looked really nice. A few days later, I realized that my hair was uneven. To top it off I was charge $ 45 dollars. Not good for an uneven haircut .I came here based on all the good reviews but It did not work for me. It’s been hard finding a good hair stylist.

Skeptical at first but I loved it. My hair went from a horrible yellow orange to a nice dark ash blonde. Only thing is that my hair is more damaged than expected however that simply comes with dying your hair.
I loved how eddie worked
Saved my prom

I came in with bleach fried hair because i tried to go platinum at home, Eddie salvaged it without having to cut it all off and he also gave me an awesome haircut. I will definitely return he did an incredible job.

Lo recomiendo totalmente muy eficiente y hace muy buen trabajo no se nececita cita es lo bueno muchas gracias Eddie no he cambio Por nada

Been wanting to get my hair done right and had gone to many barbershops but they kept getting them wrong until I heard of Simons, have to admit was skeptical at first having visited many barbershops before but the results were super awesome. I did not made an appointment just walked in and he was able to take care of me in no time, the prices are reasonable and highly recommend him to anyone out there looking for the right guy have to say Eddie is.

For over a year a head red hair, came to Eddie and he was sincer with me, told me up front what I needed. i told him I wanted to go blond. The first thing I didn’t know was that red is hard to take of, and second that my hair is stubborn. I wanted to give up and keep the red.
When Eddie said «I’m going to make this happen for you today.» I was stoked. Let me tell you the man does miracles. He gets the job do E and is on point. I did not expect to look this great. My hair is fabulous and not stiff. It’s soft and is the color I wanted. I couldn’t have picked a better place and person. I love it! Thanks you Eddie for being so determined and on point with this. I totally recommend this place to everyone, specially if you want the job done on point and precise. Perfect excellent customer service as well. I love it and will be going back for more. One word to describe Eddie’s work: FuckenBoss!

Thanks to the Unilocal comments I decided to try this place out. I can honestly say this man knows what he is doing! He is a so talented. One thing that stood out for me was his attention to the client and being so informative. I loved that he would check on me and make sure I knew what was going on with my hair. I will definitely be going back!

This man performs miracles! Amazing work Eddie truly works magic. He’s also quick your not sitting for hours and you leave happy!

I have been looking for someone to do my hair. I found Eddie and he is great hair stylist. He did a great job on my hair and I have great compliments about my hair anywhere I go. I would recommend Eddie to anyone who is having trouble finding a stylist. My hair is fine, very thin and Eddie was able to keep my hair healthy and shiny. See Eddie, he does a wonderful job.
