Salon Andalucia

I wanted to dye my hair a rich copper red. I know that my idea of red with copper undertones may not be the next person’s, so I brought a picture. Pictures are the universal language… or so I thought. My stylist seemed on board, though I noticed she had a lot of questions for the other stylists from the get go. That probably should have been my first red flag. But alas, I continued on. I was told the appointment wouldn’t be longer than 2 ½ hours. My stylist decided to add a few highlights, and said they would be a lighter red/​copper and would add dimension. Okay I thought, she’s the stylist. I trust her. She proceeds to foil a few hair pieces near the front of my face and then add dye all over, which seemed a messier process than it should have been. Then she sneaks a peek at the hair in the foil and I hear «Oh shoot» come out of her mouth. Definitely not what you want to hear. I ask her what happened and she says they got a little lighter than expected. Anyhow, so I’m thinking it’s all good, she’s got this. She wipes the highlighted pieces, throws some conditioner on them, and puts them back in the foil. I sit for awhile and then it is time to wash my hair out. While we’re at the sink she tells me that she thinks she’ll just leave the highlights as they are because they look pretty. Hmm, I’m thinking, maybe they are a lovely subtle shade. I get back to the chair, she starts to blow dry, and bam! I have straight up blonde strips of hair. That seems like a wee bit of a contrast when you have requested red hair! So admittedly, I am terrible in these types of situations. I have trouble being assertive and the last thing I want to do is come off as rude or hurt someone’s feelings. But at this point she has blow dried enough that I now know my hair is orange and blonde. I tell her I feel the highlights are too light. She agrees. Okay, yay me. I spoke up for myself. She tells me she can tone them no prob. I try not to panic. That may fix the blonde but what about the brown/​orange hair?! It is clear at this point that she is rushed and has to tend to another client. She asks the receptionist to tone the highlights and blow dry my hair. The receptionist, very sweet girl, proceeds to try to tone the blonde out of my hair. After about the fourth time she did manage to tame the beast somewhat… in some places. I should add that my boyfriend stopped by to bring me my debit card during this process and was absolutely horrified by my hair. I got a text from him asking what the hell happened?! But I digress. So she blowdries my hair. I look in the mirror. There it is, in its full fury, my glowing orange hair with different colored orange highlights and some blonde pieces. I’m mortified. I look at the clock. I have now been there for over four hours. The stylist has already moved on to another client, and I have to go to work. She comes over and asks me if I love it. She tells me she loves it. The other stylists around us say that they love it. Maybe they genuinely meant it. But on the other hand, it’s not like they’re going to say it’s horrible. Shave your head immediately. So I tell my stylist that it is much more orange than I wanted or expected and I would like to add red to it. She tells me all the reasons why I shouldn’t do that. It will make it darker, you won’t see the highlights, it’s such a pretty color as is etc. I understand that someone might really think it’s a pretty color, but it just wasn’t for me. I have olive skin with yellow undertones so it was a major clash. So I wanted red added to it (in the hopes it will look at least somewhat like any of the pictures I brought in.) She tells me to sit with it for a week and if I still want red added to call and schedule another appointment. At this point I didn’t know what to say. I needed to go to work and she was already with another client. She wasn’t working that weekend. I am thinking wow what do I do?! I can’t go to work like this much less go to work with orange hair and come back with red a week later. I have a professional job and my clients would think I’ve lost it. I was just about to ask if she could fit me in sooner (like Monday morning sooner) when it occurred to me that I really didn’t want to take another risk with my hair. It didn’t feel like we were on the same page. At that point, I figured all I could do was cut my losses. I paid the $ 90, plus tip for the stylist, plus tip for the receptionist and I left to get a hat and go to work. Next day I went to a different salon to get it fixed (dropped another $ 100). I showed the stylist the original pictures. I knew it would be difficult to achieve since we were coloring over color I had gotten a day before, so took the safe route with a different color. We found a picture and 1 ½ hours I was out of there with a gorgeous head of vibrant red hair! Ultimately, super nice people at Salon Andalucia, but it’s not for me. Of course, it’s important to keep in mind that everyone’s experience is different

She got me in and out in an hour and half for color touch up and did a fabulous job. My first time. I will be back!

I really enjoy going to this salon! I have had my hair cut by Mel a few times & so far its always been exactly what I wanted! She listens to what you want, and is very helpful with tips on keeping your hair looking its best before your next visit. I have always been a fan of aveda & they are very affordable. The atmosphere of the salon & services are very relaxing! I will be back!

I’ve been here a number of times over the past 10 years, and I just want to say that I love this salon. All the girls are friendly and professional. The salon always smells great, and they offer a number of services. I love them overall look and feel. They also have a lot of aveda products in stock, great parking, and they offer you coffee when you come in! Yay! Coffee gets double points on list.

I have been going to Stacy Rodriguez for a few years now and I just love her! She always understands what I want. I have on many occasions asked her to change my hair color with little or no warning. Each time she creates the perfect color that I invisioned. She is able cut and style so beautifully. I would recommend anyone to go to Stacy. I just love that girl!

I love this salon and Jill does my hair and it looks great! I love the products (Aveda) she uses and the time she takes with me and on my hair. I have fine blonde hair and she knows exactly how to handle it and make it look full and great! Everyone in the salon is really nice and friendly and they make people feel really welcome.
Thank you Jill !!! ;-D

I’ve been getting my haircut & color with Kelly since middle school! She’s the best! I’ve been to other hair stylist here & there over the years who are closer to home, but my hair did not like them! So after reaching the rightful age to drive by myself, I started following Kelly again, my «mermaid hair» loves her =)

After reading the Unilocal reviews, I decided to try Salon Andalucia. Having recently relocated, I needed a new Aveda salon. I’m very pleased I selected this location.
Four weeks ago, I dropped in to scope out the salon. I explained my needs and set an appointment with Angie. Since I was so warmly received, and needed services, I kept the appointment.
Angie was amazing! She listened to my hair history, provided me with a great consultation, product recommendations & outstanding service. I really felt like we were a team, with me telling Angie my goals & Angie providing her expertise. FABU!
We opted to go a bit conservatively until Angie gets to know my hair after one of her cuts. But I really can’t wait to return to do more!

I think the place is friendly and busy Busy because they’re good. I like my hair to look natural Not beige yellow and I hate big stripes of highlights Ava corrected my hair which after trying to get it right from another salon would not be easy. Met her for the first time and badda bing, my highlights came out beautiful. Also have grey which is not easy to color.

This salon is awesome and has many talented stylist! Bethany has been my hair colorist/​stylist for the past 13 years or so. I would not trust anyone else with my hair! I have blonde very fine hair and I love playing around with different colors in my hair. Every time she is able to achieve just what I am looking for, and does so in a way that keeps my hair looking and feeling as healthy as possible. She has also mastered the art of hair extensions using Great Lengths extensions. I have had these extensions installed various times by a handful of different stylists and she hands down does the best job ever! Infact I will be getting them installed again by her in a few weeks. When you are in her chair you have her sole attention and she will spend the time with you to achieve just what you want. She is a perfectionist at what she does and whether you want a simple cut or a whole new look make a appt. with Bethany! You will not regret it!

This salon is great. Very clean and organized. Very friendly and helpful staff that greet you the second you walk in the door and offer you something to drink. I’ve seen Sylvia twice now, and I’ve been happy with every cut. Plus she’s lots of fun to talk to while she’s cutting.

It was really a memorable experience in Andalucai. Though the place is small in size but they have to attraction to make to fallen love with the place. On 2/​19/​13 went there
And I must have to say about Bethany she is great I was really impressed with her professionalism.
If you are in LA crescenta you must give a visit there.

Never have I left this salon without totally LOVING my hair! STACY is your go to girl for getting exactly what you want (actually better!!!). She listens to what you want, and goes above and beyond any other stylist I’ve seen to deliver! One word FABULOUS

I love the attention to detail that Ava provides. From the pre-​cut scalp massage to the wash, and finally the perfect cut… EVERY TIME! The most consistent haircuts I’ve ever received. I will never settle for a $ 15 haircut again!

My first trip to the salon was in May on a recommendation from a friend to see Kelly. I went in for a haircut and to get highlights as I had destroyed my own color with boxed dye. :(
The highlights were beatiful. Great color and blended beautifully. It’s now September 1^st and they worked right into my summer beach hair so well that I decided not to get them redone yet.
The haircut was also great. She did exactly as I asked and also gave me some excellent tips on summer haircare.
Today I got my 2^nd haircut from Kelly and it was just as good as the first. She started out with a scalp and hand massage, something I have not gotten at the last 3 salons I have been to, and then did a great job on the cut. She really duplicated what I wanted and I feel like I will be able to handle doing it myself easily.
In the salon itself the ambience is great, as is the customer service, and I highly recommend them. Such a nice, relaxing place to go to feel pampered and enhanced. :) Thank you ladies!

The location is in a small plaza with cramped but available parking. Look for blue little canopies and don’t get it confused with buildings on the same street that have blue canopies. I suggest zooming into google maps if it’s your first time coming and you hate getting lost.
I went to this place by suggestion of a coworker – she always has good hair. I’m Asian and I have LOTS of hair. I was really impressed with the exactness and professionalism of this place. They offer drinks while you wait, and use Aveda products, which are so much better for your hair. Not knowing what I want, I brought in a bunch of pictures and was very impressed when my stylist Angie went ahead and cut it exactly like one of the pictures. My bangs weren’t that impressive, but I did hack at them myself a month before, so they were probably ruined by my unkskilled hands, but of course, they will grow. Angie spent 1.5 hrs on my hair, and then noticed some more pieces to perfect after she did my friend’s hair… so it was 2 hrs in total. (My hair doesn’t like to behave.) After my hair was cut, I was asked if I liked it and told I could come back. I actually didn’t like my hair after it was cut, but I admit it did look exactly like the picture. Now that my hair has grown out a bit, I received many compliments.
I went back a week later or two and got my hair highlighted red to bring out the layers. For my head with partial red highlights it was $ 100 before tip. Angie was kind enough to bring out some vibrant red dye she had a week before and put those highlights through my hair, in hidden places where it would not be so ostentatious. The method was very neat and precise. The foil triangular layers made me feel as if I was getting my hair decorated instead. The colors were placed in the right place, however being a black haired girl with red highlights, it was not long after this that the colors turned all brown. :(
I really appreciated the care and the demeanour of the staff and I will come here again if I want to have a safe precise choice. A lot of of the staff are very experienced; Angie had 20+ years of experience. However, I feel if I wasn’t coloring my hair, there are other places that charge less for a very nice hair cut.

The 5 stars is for the coolest hair stylist in town. Angie Lopez. I’ve been with her for about 7 or maybe 8 years now. Have never been unfaithful. Even when I look all scraggily and un-​human like, I will always wait for my Angie. I always get tons of compliments on my haircut after. I’m not the most handsome guy in the world, but after Angie has done her magic, I feel like it!
She will listen to you or if you say ‘I don’t know what I want’, she will present you with the best possible options.
If you’re looking for a great stylist, go see Angie. She will take care of you and you will not be dissapointed.

Words can’t express enough when great customer service is at its best. It was unexpected and truly welcome.
After reading my review, Sylvia called and thanked me for my review but realized I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the amount of layers I wanted. She offered for me to come in, free of charge to fix it exactly the way I wanted. She wanted me to be happy.
I was overwhelmed with gratitude, but respectfully declined because it wasn’t that big of a deal. She also offered to layer it more if I decided to come in for a bang trim first.
How lovely to find someone eager to make her clients happy that she would take that extra step. Sylvia is one in a million.

I’m accustomed to paying a cool $ 4.50 for a haircut to the trainees at Mr. Leon’s School of Hair Design back in the days before college. Or else a few bucks at Super Hack-​O-​Cuts. Occasionally they’d goof and I’d look (even more) like a complete idiot… but hey, hair grows back.
On a trip to SoCal, my friend took me here because she loved it so much that, well, she’ll take a guy who hates paying for haircuts to a salon! Here’s what I noticed:
1. They had hot apple cider for me as soon as I stepped in the door (it was around the holidays, so don’t get too greedy here)
2. While I sipped my cider, I ate some tasty chocolate on the house as well.
3. I learned more about Marilyn Monroe from a Life magazine than I ever knew before. Considering I could barely spell her name before that, it’s not saying much… but it beats reading Seventeen Magazine.
Anyway. I’m a guy with little sense of how a salon should be, feel or look… but Andalucia felt clean and cheery. The girl at the front counter was absolutely friendly and helpful and the wait was minimal.
The haircut? Absolutely phenomenal. Ava is a wizard. Not only was she very nice, she didn’t talk my ear off or expect me to talk the entire time. Not that I didn’t…but she was fine with a little silence here and there.
I never quite realized how a great haircut compares to a buzz or cheap cut. This was the first time in my life I actually got compliments on a haircut, not to mention I didn’t have to worry about my mom saying, «Ooooh, I just don’t like it.» Honesty cuts deep sometimes. And sometimes, not hearing «Oooops» in the middle of a cut is worth spending more than $ 5 on a haircut.
Salon Andalucia is great. Check it out.

Angie has been doing my hair for 14 years and the thought of going to anyone else just plain stresses me out. She’s talented at both color and cuts and has an uncanny knack for interpreting my garbled requests into a hair style that i love. And on top of all of this, she’s warm and friendly — so appointments are fun!
The salon itself is well-​appointed and welcoming.
