All About Color Salon

Great hair salon!!!
Richard has many years of experience with color, cuts styles and all about hair.
He is a treasure of a stylist. Another fun stylist at the shop is. Nicky. She is a talented stylists good with long hair.
Reasonable rates first class service.

I bought a groupon from this place and noticed it expired sooner than groupons usually do. It was for a haircut and highlights, but I wasn’t in need of a haircut before the expiration date. So I called to see if in place of the haircut, they could just do a couple extra highlights. I wasn’t looking for much, and this would’ve been a lot less time consuming than a haircut. But the guy on the phone was totally unfriendly and unaccommodating about it. Bad customer service. Another day, I noticed that in the fine print, it said they’d charge an extra $ 10 for hair past shoulder length. I called and said that I just wanted my roots done, so this shouldn’t apply. Nope– they were gonna charge me $ 10 anyway. I’ve used tons of vouchers at hair salons and have never come across a salon adding $ 10 in the fine print like that. All of it has made me not want to even use the voucher or support them w my business. They should wait to be assholes until after you’ve tipped them.

I came in with a Groupon — and left as a customer. Nickie is amazing at color and cutting. I’m in.

I called Richard and made an appt to use their Groupon deal (cut and color for $ 79).
My hair is shoulder length and got it trimmed. Nikky charged my card $ 89 and said they had fine print stating it’s more expensive for long hair!
The place is dirty and not pleasant. I had to wash my hair when I got home because the dark color was all over my neck and behind my ears. I will never go back there!
Make sure to confirm pricing before having them start working on your hair to avoid being charged extra.

I am very happy I found this salon! Richard, the owner, has been doing my color for awhile now and I have actually received compliments specifically on the color, which never happened before going to him. He has decades of experience and it clearly shows in his intuitive sense of color. He immediately saw that my color when I first came to him was a bit harsh for my coloring and now it has a warmth to it that really flatters my skin tone. I enjoy his outspoken banter (but then again I am from New York!) The salon is clean, relaxed and pleasant and the prices are very reasonable.

Super Excited To Head To Los Angeles This Month!!! Im Even More Excited About Getting My HAIR Cut and Colored By the Best Stylist On The West Coast… NY In The House… Nikky Is Amazing! Ready for Girl Talk And Amazing Hair :) Blondes Have It Hard Finding The Right Stylist and Colorist. Im So Happy I Have Nikky and Her NaturesDetox Products of NikkyDollHairCare!!! #Ready #LA #NYC #Miami #Blonde Here I Come!!!

I asked that my shortest layer not be above my chin. Hairstylist of course cuts it too short. All I can do is wait for it to grow out now.
There’s a reason they’re running a Groupon.

I called and was able to get an appointment the same day. There were only two other customers in the salon, and I was there for more than two hours. Nikky was my stylist. I asked her what the specials were, and she said there were none even though she has a sign up that says to ask for the specials. Her business card says the same thing.
I received a haircut and all over color; plus a moisturizer. I asked her what the price of services were, and she never said the blow dry cost extra. When I was rung up, by her, she charged me $ 45.00 for the blow dry. It cost the same as the haircut itself! If I was going to pay $ 90.00 for a haircut I would have gone to an upscale salon. Ironically, the blow dry wasn’t very good. I paid $ 20.00 for what was supposed to be a «moisturizing treatment», but that amounted to her spraying something in my hair at the shampoo bowl. A normal moisturizing treatment is done under a heat lamp, but not here. I paid $ 185.00 for these services, and my hair wasn’t even soft! I wish I had gone to my regular stylist in Glendale.
I would not recommend this place.

Chris is the best! Very patient and really listens to what his clients want and doesn’t get scissor happy. A lot of salons cut too much and Chris def will not unless you ask him too. Good price too compared to other LA salons.

I just had my hair done by Nikky and she did an excellent job. I had hair to my butt and needed a good 6 inches off but to maintain layers. She was very nice, interesting to talk to, and concerned with my comfort. My hair feels great.

Nickki and Chris are the best! I was desperate to find someone who can
tame my wild curls and put them under
lock and key. My hair is shaped properly
so now I can wear my hair curly and not have to worry about straightening or using curlers to tame my mane (unless I want to) which is a great feeling. I much prefer to let my hair be curly and not use heat on
my hair on a daily basis. The salon is
clean and up to date with the current
hair trends. I went to Nickki for a color
Correction & she did a great job ! ;)

I moved in Mar Vista recently and I was desperate to find a new hair salon.
I need to do a color at least once a month so I was looking for someone who understands what I like and what my hair need… and this is absolutely the place.
Chris was my hair stylist and he did an amazing job. Very professional, very kind and he was really funny chat with him.
Overall the place is 5 stars, no doubt. Very professional staff, clean, accomodating and you don’t need to take an appointment to get the job done.
I’ll go back for sure.

TUCA IS THE QUEEN OF BRAZILIAN WAXING!!! She’s amazing at what she does and makes you feel right at home, she also tries to make it as fast/​painless as possible (bless her heart! lol). I can’t wait to come back for my next session!

My buddy Colleen told me about All About Color. It was my first time at an actual salon and i gotta say, it was definitely worth my money. I got an appointment right away within an hour. The whole salon was really clean and nicely decorated, right away he asked me if I wanted tea or cookies. A calm vibe all around.
Chris (my new hairstylist) did an amazing job giving my hair a much needed makeover.
I had dead bleached blonde hair the length of my elbows, all one layer. He asked me what I wanted, I let him know that I wanted all my dead ends gone and wanted to change my hair color. I was indecisive about my hair so he pulled out a color chart to help me out. Together we decided to go brunette (my natural color), he then proceeded to cut my hair up to a little past my shoulders, layered it all around. After that he put the dye in and we let it set for about 30mins.
He’s really good with time management. He gave another customer a haircut while I waited. The other employees talked to me as I waited, they were all very sweet and full of advice.
After that he took me to the back, washed out my hair, and even massaged my scalp! It was AMAZING! We then went back to my original chair where he blow dried and styled my hair. When he finally turned me around to look at the mirror, I almost cried. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I love my hair so much and I now have my own stylist :) thank you Chris and thank you All About Color!

This review is JUST for the WAXING services. I found them on GroupOn, and I actually feel bad about giving a negative review, when the salon seems to have such high marks in general. I would definitely say try them for their hairstyle services — just not any type of waxing. My kitty left burned red and the job was incomplete. Definitely a no no.

I stopped by on a Sunday morning without an appointment, and was seated right away. Chris was my stylist, and he did a great job on my overgrown pixie cut. We had an energetic chat during the service, and his attitude was accommodating, fun, and professional. The owner, Richard, was also very welcoming (and Chris raved about his work with color). I’m glad that I stumbled on this place, and will be back!
Since I have to remove my glasses during the cut, I wasn’t able to look around too much, but the building felt clean and comfortable. A passerby’s dog took a little whiz on the sidewalk outside, and Richard immediately washed it away. He obviously puts a lot of care into his business. There are a couple poles near the front door where I was invited to lock up my bike, which I always appreciate.
I was in and out in under an hour, and paid $ 35 for my cut.

I have been going to richard for 6 years now. I am super fussy about my hair and I’m very disparaging about who I get to touch it. The first time I walked into his salon (when it was still «the beach») he sorta threw me out and said go somewhere else — this intrigued me. He was ballsy; confident and wasn’t ass kissing me to get a new client. When I finally got the pleasure of him doing my color I was blown away. It makes sense that this guy has the same clients for 30 years plus. He knows hair, he knows color and he is not pretentious like those brand name salons in beverly hills. His prices are great — you know he is not in it for the money but has a passion for women and a passion for hair and he will make your hair color sexy. All this being said he is a color expert — a scientist — go to him for your color but not your cut.

I was devastated after having my hair butchered at a place that shall not be named. I had previously gotten a brassy balayage after asking for a gentle ombré (another hair disaster that I lived with until it grew out) so all that needed to be done was a little bleaching of the tips to create a three toned ombré that would start a little below my jaw line. The stylist ended up giving me another balayage that started at my cheekbones and was completely platinum all the way down. I definitely do not look good ²⁄₃ blonde, but didn’t have the heart to say I hated it. The Place That Shall Not Be Named failed me twice with two different stylists. I am pretty easy to please but after a few days of not being able to look in the mirror, I knew it needed to be fixed.
I walked in to All About Color with no appointment and Richard greeted me warmly at the counter. He asked what I was interested in and I described that I needed a serious hair makeover after the disaster earlier that week. I showed him a picture of a dark reddish purple for an all over color fix and he said absolutely and happily sat me in his chair! I am thanking my lucky stars that his original 9 o’clock appointment had rescheduled, I wasn’t expecting to be taken as a walk-​in. Richard showed me the color swatches and we both decided on the perfect color and he got started whipping it up right away. I could write a novel (I kind of already have) on how amazing this man is and how happy I am now with my hair so I am going to finish this raving review with a list of why no one else in Los Angeles will touch my hair ever again:
1. He owns his down-​to-​earth East Coast attitude and is WILDLY entertaining (I’m a Northwest girl so this is not a compliment I give because I am biased). I was happy to converse with him for the 2 hours my hair took while not being bored by small talk and he made me laugh on numerous counts.
2. He has a huge heart for the people he makes beautiful and is voraciously passionate about his life-​long work.
3. His touch has great energy and is very relaxing. The confidence and ease he puts into coloring and styling makes for a very pampering experience.
4. The finished look was beyond my wildest dreams. Instead of sad crying, I was streaming tears of joy. I can’t stop looking in the mirror!
5. His prices are so reasonable I almost matched the price of the service with the tip I gave him.
I am so happy I am practically tingling. I am convinced Richard is a wizard, the Gandalf of hair color!

Christian is an amazing hair stylist. My hair is pretty straight and boring and he manages to give my hair layers and lift. Only 4 stars because I showed up once and he was late — organizational skills could be better but really love the quality of service I receive at price that makes it easy to get a trim as often as I need.
I went in yesterday at 9am for a trim and blow out to be camera ready and my hair was positively adorable! Quick and professional service.
Though I’ve never had a cut from Richard, he is very pleasant and kind. Highly recommend!

You can get an hour of free comedy, a dose of unqualified but amusing therapy AND your hair colored here if you come to Richard. He’s sarcastic and sharp, speaks his mind and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks, or if they agree with him. Most important of all, my hair looks great now. His prices are fair and his location is terrific for me.
BUT you have to like the sort of East Coast edge he’s got or you’re going to end up with an unhappy social experience like some of the people who have reviewed the salon here. That said, he’s excellent at what he does and I personally get a kick out of his patter.
Getting my hair colored here is an adventure. He’s a gifted colorist and has a sweet heart under that gruff exterior. I believe he works/​worked for the studios. He’s a real character!
My best advice — just sit down and let him do his thing, and enjoy the banter.
