Salon Plum

I moved to Ladera in February & have been driving 30 miles each way to my old salon… I live walking distance from this place, so I decided to try it. So glad I did! Jordyn is sweet, funny & knows how to style hair. I got full highlights and LOVE how the color turned out. She also is one of the only people to ever blow dry/​style my hair the way I wanted it. Love my new hair and new hair dresser! Go to Jordyn!

I had been waiting for Salon Plum to open, then finally made time for myself to go in and get a cut. I didn’t have a specific stylist in mind since I had never been there, so I took whoever they gave me. I was booked with Jordyn, and she did such a great job! Going to salons always makes me nervous because I’ve had a lot of bad experiences, but not only did she cut my hair exactly how I wanted, she was so sweet and talkative the entire time. I had a good time talking with her while getting the cut I wanted.
The salon is very nice and comfortable. I was offered water or coffee as soon as I got there, and had to wait barely any time at all for Jordyn to get ready, even though I was early. I’ll be going back for sure to see her as soon as I need another cut.

In general: Easy to get to, parking available. The place is clean. The restroom is clean.
They offer you water, and some drinks. To make an appointment, sometimes is not simple as you will ask is Daniel available today, no. Okay, what about tomorrow, no. okay what about Monday, no, he does not work on Monday, okay, what about Tuesday, no, he does not work on Tuesday. okay, what about Wednesday. I am laughing as I am writing, but that is how making an appointment goes.
Anyway, this review is for Daniel Krantz. I have been following Daniel since the T and G days. Then he moved to LR, better, closer to my place. Then. he moved within Ladera. no problem. I will follow him to the moon!
Daniel is professional, respectful, has a great conversation, however, I follow him because he does the best hair cuts! My hair is difficult to cut, a mistake will show right away. He is detailed oriented and precise. He will assess you face, your hair and suggest what will work for you.
He does color for me too. I do my routine color, when I need to do the back, he does that for me.
I like that he likes to learn and is open for new ideas. Like the hair color, I started to use a special type and was willing to try.
He also gives the best head massage!
Thanks Daniel for keeping my hair in check!

I go here and I see Lauren! She’s amazing! The staff is friendly and my appointments run on time. Lauren is super sweet and easy to talk to! Highly recommend :)

Had one if those moments where I had to cut my hair now! Kristin was kind enough to take me at the last moment, I was so lucky!!! She did a fantastic job, my haircut was AWESOME, and she was so friendly and engaging the time went fast. She was very precise and careful in the cut, I could not be happier!!!

Leah is my absolute favorite person in the world. She definitely understands what I want especially when I can’t quite describe it. Love talking with her and she remembers all the details from 6 months ago. She takes care of my husband’s long mane and he loves it. I wish I could see her more often.

It’s really nerve-​wracking to go to a new salon and chop off over a foot of hair, but the moment I called Salon Plum to book my appointment, I knew I was in good hands! I looked online at all of the stylists work beforehand, and didn’t really know who to choose. I told the receptionist what I wanted to achieve, and she set my appointment up with Leah. Leah was awesome, and gave me a super-​cute A-​line bob and lightened up my dyed black hair with some hilights.
The salon itself is brand-​new and clean, and there are tons of beverages and magazines for you to choose from. Who doesn’t love reading a good gossip mag and drinking a glass of wine while they are getting their hair done?! I’m a satisfied client!

Leah cuts short short hair! I have a pixie cut like Jennifer Lawrence and Leah nailed it. It’s always hard to find a new stylist, but she’s awesome! Leah also likes doing short hair cuts, which is a nice bonus.
Great head massage too!
The salon is clean and busy– both good signs. They also confirm your hair appointment by text, which I love. Zero complaints. Excellent experience. Leah is great!

Great experience every time! I usually see Danny but have had the chance to have Leah and Tawnia style my hair and they are all fantastic! Pretty quick service and never a wait. Products and technique keep my hair in great shape while growing like crazy.

I am always greeted nicely when I come in, they always offer me something to drink while I wait. My hair stylist Danny is the best! My hair always looks perfect when he is done. I have a lot of hair and it has never been easy to maintain, but since Danny has been cutting my hair I can honestly say my hair is so much easier to maintain. He is great with providing information for my type of hair. If your looking for a new hair stylist, I definitely recommend seeing Danny.

Kristen Luna Page is absolutely the best. I first found Kristen almost 10 years ago at a salon in San Francisco, just a few short months after receiving a horrendous haircut. She was very patient as I insisted that no one understood my hair. She took on my high-​maintenance b.s. with a smile, and proceeded to fix the cut I believed was unfixable. Since that day, she’s the only person I’ve trusted to cut my hair.
Kristen is truly an artist. First of all, she has amazing style and an uncanny ability to find the cut that you didn’t know you wanted — a cut that’s somehow both «on trend» and classic. More importantly, she understands hair, and she knows what she needs to do to create a haircut you can actually style yourself and live with on a daily basis (after all, despite being a high maintenance client, i don’t actually want to have to DO anything to my hair!).
Have I mentioned that she’s also awesome, and someone I always look forward to seeing and catching up with?
Anyway, after relocating to LA in 2013, necessity required that I find someone nearby… and I had the same experience that brought me to Kristen in the first place. Lucky for me, she’s now based on Orange County… and well worth the 90 minute drive from LA!

The salon is adorable and everyone seems experienced and sweet. I just wish they’d get a receptionist.

I moved here from Toronto 4 years ago and can safely & happily say I’ve found my stylist! Elyssa works magic, combining technique with knowing what will look good on me, she is amazing. I can’t believe I still like my hair cut 3 months after the initial cut! Even if I should be going every 2months. :)

KRISTEN is definitely as good as it gets and then some! (This review is about 10 years overdue!) She has been cutting my hair for years since our San Francisco days! And let me tell you, my hair is everything to me.
I have very wavy hair and lots of it! Kristen IS the only person who has ever texturized and tamed it to perfection, and of course her eye for style is on point so she always gets it right. She has cut my hair into short trendy styles (a la Freja Beha Erichsen) you would never imagine possible on my hair, and it always grows out awesome, seriously she can do it all. I am super excited and happy she’s made her way down to southern Cali and that I only have to drive an hour to her as apposed to a flight to SF (which let’s face it, if I had to I would) It’s as if the hair gods listened to me! If you go to her, you’ll likely not want to go to anyone else after.

Marisa at Salon Plum is just fantastic! She’s the kind of hair stylist that you follow places.
I went to Marisa for advice on layering my hair while growing it out, and she gave me perfect layers. I have the flexibility to diffuse my hair and get nice waves and curls, but also to wear it straight and full.
She also gave me great advice on how to gradually lighten the color of my very dark brown hair. I’ve been getting more white hair than I care to admit, and was using box dye to cover it up myself. However, I wasn’t happy with how dark my hair was coming out, and was scared of the prospect of having to bleach my whole head to achieve a lighter color. Marisa showed me a few options for introducing tiny highlights into my dark brown hair to create an overall lighter effect, and it totally worked. I received compliments from family and friends too.
Not only is Marisa a skilled stylist, but she’s a lovely person too. Sweet, funny and friendly, I always enjoy my hair styling visit. Salon Plum is also a beautiful and stylish space. I highlight recommend a visit to Marisa at Salon Plum!

Just left feeling sooo much better than when I came in after seeing Tawnia. I had a horrific experience at a different salon two days ago, going from brunette to blonde. I looked like a bleached blonde drug addict! I was referred to Tawnia and booked an appointment immediately. She was able to salvage my hair and bring back my confidence. She explained what happened to my hair and what should have been done to it, she talked me through every step she took during today’s appointment, and she already has plans for my hair at my next appointment.
The salon is beautiful! Very neutral and minimal yet so classy. The stations have full-​size mirrors and very comfortable chairs. Cleanliness is on point. I am looking forward to making this my new go-​to salon.
Thank you Tawnia!

Kristen at Salon Plum is hands down the best stylist I’ve ever had. She moved to a very popular salon in San Francisco, and I was devastated! But now she’s BACK and I am so excited to go to someone who knows how to cut my hair. She will cut and color it exactly the way you want it– only better. Once you have Kristen as a stylist, you’ll never want anyone to touch your hair again, she’s that good.

Salon Plum hasn’t been around for long, but it will be. The atmosphere and the stylists are some of the best. I always see Jessica Van der Maath and she never disappoints!

I love this new gem of a salon in Ladera! I’ve been going to Marisa for a few months & I’m so happy she has transferred from Laguna Beach to Ladera Ranch! She does great cuts, highlights & blowouts! So happy she’s decided to work Mondays, too! So unheard of! Rare find here ;)

If you want to look great Salon Plum should be your first stop! The salon itself looks great and everyone there is so welcoming!
