Shear and Shine Hair Studio

This is a shitty place, go if you want crappy hair. The bitch doesn’t know how to color hair or style if her life depends on it. If you give her a bad review, she will stalk you and keep calling you crying for sympathy to change the review! Psycho much! Fuck this place there are plenty of better places in Long Beach that won’t stalk you like this dumb bitch.

I went in to have my hair semi-​braided and all I can say is that Ken did an amazing job! He had so many ideas on how to braid my hair. The outcome was fantastic and I’m a happy customer:) I’ll come back again!

4.5 to be fair. This is a nice salon. They did a rally nice job for my mom with color and a new cut. He styled her hair for fun. The store is easy to find, park and there was no issue squeezing my mom in for her last minute appointment. They are nice and personable. Definitely would recommend.

I’ve been coming here for the past few years since I was a junior in college and now I’m a working professional. Soreda has always helped me decide a good cut and gave me a game changer when she cut my hair short. Call ahead and it’s a very reasonable price.

Phenomenal prices, friendly folks, and an excellent hair style & cut (coming from someone with thick, frizzy, difficult to work with hair, that’s saying something!).
I definitely found my new favorite hair styling place in Long Beach – they’re wonderful!

I decided to try this place out today and I definitely do not regret this decision because Ken is one of the greatest barbers I’ve ever been too. Showed him some pictures and he made it happen even with my really thick curly hair which surprised me cause I usually never get any good haircuts. The haircut price for mens was pretty cheap compared to other places so I definitely would recommend checking this place out!

I got here thanks to Unilocal and it was a very nice experience. The shampoo treatment was the best I’ve had. Soreda took care of my hair and she did exactly what I had in mind. I’ll be back for sure!

I love this place and have been going maybe five years since my regular barber retired. Sareda is a great person, the price is extremely reasonable (I kind of tip high to make up for it) and I always get a fantastic haircut. I love it.

Ken is amazing! He saw my that my hair was cut straight-​across and asked if I ever had layers. I answered with yes but my last haircut went badly and I didn’t know about making another attempt. He trimmed my hair and gently suggested some subtle layers. I could tell he knew what he was doing so I agreed to it. I couldn’t be happier with the result! My hair has more volume and life than it did 5 inches ago and that’s a fact!

Amazing! I’ve never been here before today but I’ll definitely be coming back. Soreda and Ken are a good team. They managed to fit me in even though they were super busy just through good teamwork. I got a cut and color for $ 65 that looks great, plus Soreda styled it for me just to show me what I can do with my new cut. Thanks so much guys.

Whether you know exactly what you want or don’t have a clue — Ken is the right stylist to go to.
I’m someone who has little patience/​energy to invest in my ‘look’ — but I still like to look good. I think I may be a bit of a hair stylist’s nightmare really because I don’t enjoy the experience — usually. Ken immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed and I ended up with a beautiful color and cut that suits me and effortlessly (on my part) makes me look good! Ken was great at focusing me and gently working out what I would like/​not like and I was surprised to find myself enjoying the entire experience.
I found it so easy for me to be there I didn’t even notice the time passing while the color process worked — something that usually stresses me.
While my color process was setting, I was able to observe other clients’ experience — from the walk in lady who wanted some kind of quick fix-​up trim before work to a couple of Ken’s regulars — one guy who knew exactly what he wanted and knew Ken had it down — quick and cheerful and ‘Thanks, Ken — see you in two weeks!’ and a young guy who seems to like to change it up a bit each time. He and Ken quickly came to new style that left the guy smiling and looking great.
One stylist fits all: Ken!

I’ve been coming here for the last few years so a well deserved review! I love the price, convenience, service and fabulous cuts i’ve received here over and over again.
Today i got a cute bob, worthy of hair flips and unconditional loyalty

It was my day off and I called to see anyone could cut my hair. Ken picked my call and he was super sweet and flexible to have me come in right away. He was a good listener to my concerns, wishes, and also to my intuition! With his patience and openness for adventure, we decided to try out «A-​line» long or medium length bob! He was very knowledgeable and fast, and also open to communicate with me while he worked! I think it took only 20 – 30 mins? Very fast but detailed work. I had a lovely experience and I’m pleased with my new hairstyle thanks to Ken! Thank you :)
They also take debit card and that helped me.

Just left here after getting my roots retouched to icy blonde. Soreda did a fantastic job and it was very affordable for the amazing work she did. She was the perfect amount of talkative, worked quickly and was pleasant the entire time. I will definitely be back here and will suggest her in the future.

I live right down the street and decided to check it out. I wanted to go blonder. Cynthia was very knowledgable in what I wanted and what was best for me. I’m very happy with the results. She even went so far as to write down exactly what she did on a client card so that she could do it again the next time I came in. Not to mention she’s very sweet and personable. I feel so spoiled that this place is right down the street!

I find myself putting off hair cuts and colors until one day I look in the mirror and I realize, «Holy crap, my roots are 3 inches long.» On top of that, I find myself procrastinating on hair care because it tends to be so expensive, or I have a very negative experience. About 2 years ago I wanted to lighten up my hair to its natural color, and the stylist I went to completely fried my hair. Because of this, it’s been an ongoing battle with dry, frizzy, dead hair that is growing out, and maintaining a light brown/​blonde.
I was able to call the morning of to make sure they had room for walk ins, and was immediately sat when I arrived. Ken did an amazing job! The staff and other clients were very friendly (seriously, I was given candy, that’s the true way to my heart). During the shampoo/​conditioner/​rinse, Ken gave me an amazing neck/​scalp massage. I would probably go back just for that. He even braided my hair in a french braid/​fishtail style that made me feel like a Renaissance princess. All for $ 60. I’ll definitely be going back again.

I’m super picky about my hair, I’ve had it butchered so many times. I think it’s because of my hair texture — comparable to hay or straw, super stiff!
So my friend recommended this place to me, and I was nervous about going because the last lady that cut and dyed my hair dyed it 3 times and it still wasn’t what I wanted (how much more explanation do I have to give than a photo and saying mahogany red?)
Anyways, Soreda did my hair for me as a walk in and I loved my perfect haircut. She told me how much she should cut off to make my hair healthy and offered a discount when I decided to dye my hair last minute and the mahogany red was ON POINT. I loved it and now I want to be her regular client. I’ve finally found my hair lady!
So then I took my husband here and he got his hair cut for 13 dollars … Ken did it. And he wanted short on the sides, a little longer on the top. My husband’s hair is blond, fine and soft, opposite of my hair texture. His haircut is perfect too! No more barber shops for him! We will be loyal clients to Ken and Soreda from now on!
They also really have nice chair side manner and excellent customer service. So rare to see. I love this place! Thank you!

Very happy with this place. Ken gave me a nice neck and scalp massage while he washed my hair. Soreda gave me exactly what I asked for, cutting about 8 inches off of my long curly, thick hair and thinning it out too! I got a same day appointment, and was in and out in about an hour. Will definitely go back, and take my boyfriend too!

I love Ken! I came here randomly one day after checking out the Unilocal reviews. He cut and styled my hair exactly how I wanted it. I’ve been here a few times now and he always does a great job. He LISTENS and asks before he does anything. The shampoo massage is pretty great too. It’s around $ 30 for a cut and wash which isn’t bad.

I always passed by this place and so I Unilocaled it and I’m so glad I did! The other times I would go into some random salon and ask for long layers. I would always end up with hair like Connie Chung and cry.
When I lived in Long Beach, I came to Soreda and Ken to get my haircut. They are the best and that’s not an exaggeration. I have now become one of those people who are loyal and hop onto the 405 during rush hour traffic to get to my hair appointment in Long Beach. Soreda and Ken are sweet, genuine, and talented. They have an easy going nature about them whereas some hair stylists are a drag to talk to or feel the conversation is forced. Soreda and Ken are a pleasure to talk to and are honest about whether what you want will work for your face shape, hair color, skin tone, etc. They will mesh your ideas with their expertise and they will not disappoint.
If you haven’t already, give them a shot. It’s not the typical LA or OC bougie salon all decked out with shiny things to distract you. The salon décor is simple but who cares? I’m not paying for aesthetics; I’m paying for an amazing hair cut. The stylists have talent and kick ass!
