Alonsay Salon

Tammy Tammy Tammy! Love her. She is so cool, prices are so SO reasonable and she really saved my hair. She gave me the fashion color I asked for and didn’t argue like some other stylists do… And you know who you are!
She recommended a split ends treatment to me that ACTUALLY WORKS which is unusual. Those things never work!
Anywaaaaaaay… Go there! Go to Alonsay and ask for Tammy.

I have been going to Tova at Alonsay for 20+ years. Actually have followed her from salon to salon until she opened her own.
I LOVE HER! Her brow shaping is perfection and I have never had a bad waxing experience. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is one of the warmest, kindest people I know.
The salon has a friendly cozy atmosphere and everyone that works there is super sweet! I cannot say enough good things about Tova and the people that work there!

Had the best experience with Stacy this week! My color and Brazilian Blowout look flawless! My hair is a bit hard to manage and frizzy. Not any more! I love how cozy the salon is and the vibe is really relaxing. I look forward to my next visit!

I followed my hairdresser, like an addict needing a fix. Jeri, formerly of Hair Lounge, is now at Alonsay. As always, Jeri is the best stylist and brings her professionalism and heart to this place.
My husband and I have been seeing Jeri since 2009. She understands men’s and women’s hair and is a true pleasure. As mentioned in a previous review, my hair is long and my husband has course hair, Jeri knows exactly what we are looking for. Also, she is a wiz at color and highlights.
If you want personal service and great customer care, trust your locks to Jeri.

Ladies if you are looking for an amazing and affordable esthetician go here! Tova the owner is awesome! I get my brows done and Tova knows how to create the best shape for my face. I trust anything she does!

I bought a Groupon to get eyelash extensions from Vera. She was a little hard to get a hold of and make an appointment but it was worth the effort.
It was my first time getting eyelash extensions but she made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I think I even dozed off a few times during the 2 hour session.
She is definitely great and what she does.

Cancelled Groupon, Cancelled Appointment. I purchased a Groupon from Vera for a full set of lashes and one refill for a wedding coming up that I am a bridesmaid for. I’ve never tried it before and was looking forward to finding a place. I called Vera and she said she didn’t seem happy to talk to a new customer, just seemed disappointed and preferred to honor the Groupon price but not take the Groupon and told me I could refund it because of the cut they take — I did not get a positive impression. So I cancelled the Groupon and we coordinated a date and time and said she always confirms the night before. I never got a confirmation so I texted her the morning of our scheduled appointment date and she said replied «I’m sorry I can’t do it today» with no attempts to reschedule or offer anything. Very unprofessional! I rescheduled my entire workday around this and now I have no time to reschedule prior to the wedding! I feel the pricing and Groupon affected my service greatly — don’t bother!

Love Alonsay salon! Everyone is very welcoming! I have got my hair dyed by Noohki a few times and always leave amazed. Most of the time I do not know what my hair needs or what color to change up to and she has such an amazing eye for color! Highly recommended!

I love Alonsay!
To be more specific — I’ve been going there to get waxed by Tova for years and years. She is utterly amazing. So sweet and SO good at what she does. I never have had a bad reaction when she waxes me.
Everyone else there is super nice as well — and there’s always coffee and goodies out for anyone who’s waiting and wants a snack.
The only potential snafoo is the parking. The lot in the back is kind of small, but there’s usually parking on the street so it’s not a huge deal. The location is easy to find and it’s not a busy area, which is nice.
Love it and would highly recommend it!

Such a great salon! I go to Tammy for my Brazilian blowout and she does the best job! I’m in and out in just over a hour. My hair looks silky and smooth. It lasts around 4 months
Thank you Tammy!
The space is comfortable

I bought Vera’s Groupon this week for $ 129. This gave me a full set of lashes AND 2 refills, but I will keep coming back long after my voucher expires. Don’t be fooled by the absence of before/​after photos online, she has a whole binder she plopped down and showed me (she’s just not tech savvy, hence the lack of web presence LOL). She is X-​Treme Lash certified (this is what all your celebrity idols wear most likely, ya know, where you do a double take and drool at their «good genes») Anyway, I even took the time to make my own before/​after picture since she doesn’t have any online yet.
BREAKDOWN:
Classy Taste: She doesn’t strive for the fake, glammy, porny look. Vera’s lashes will raise questions in your circle of friends.“Did she… grow those???” «I think those are hers» «No those aren’t fake, I can tell when they’re fake»
Great Eye: No pun intended. Her eyes are pretty, but I meant she has a great eye for detail.
Sweet as Sugar: Just that, sweet ass personality. Just great.
Accommodating: Water, neck pillow, let’s you sneeze, let’s you worm around if needed due to restlessness (just warn her)
Thorough: The WHOLE thing, from signing the waiver, filling out medical information, cleaning my makeup, and lashing up, took 2.5 hours. I didn’t feel processed. She really cares. I was very comfortable, and didn’t feel a single lash being applied… hello…are you there… I feel nothing. LOL
Friendly and Thoughtful: We chatted about A through Z. The time flew. She was thoughtful enough to call me back in the following day because she noticed in my photo that one side could use another couple hairs. Just because! I’m going to post this on the Salons Unilocal as well. In case it’s important, I felt the need to create a Unilocal for her too. *WINK WINK* My winks will make you faint now that I’m lashed up ;)

I used to go to a terrific stylist who does hair for a lot of the major celebrities and studio execs, and I never thought I’d leave him. Even when he moved from Beverly Hills to Studio City I drove all the way from Marina del Rey to have him cut my hair in the Valley! So when I made the move over the hill I was excited about having him practically around the corner. Unfortunately it became more and more difficult to get an appointment and his prices went up. Plus, he’s a cut specialist so he usually has someone else at the salon do the color, and the last 2 times she did mine I did NOT get the results I wanted. I was griping about it at the gym one day when someone overheard me and told me I should see Tammy Allen at Alonsay… so I did. *Best* decision I’ve made about my hair. She’s a great stylist, got my color exactly right the first time (and has continued to do so every time since), she’s pretty accommodating in terms of scheduling, and she doesn’t charge a fortune.
As others have mentioned, the parking situation isn’t great there. Right now I only live a few blocks from the salon so I just walk if I’m coming from home, but when I move farther away, finding parking will be a minor inconvenience for great service. The only other thing that prevents me from giving this place 5 stars is physical comfort. The one common seating area where you wait for your appointment is a single rock-​hard bench, it’s always too warm in the salon when I’m there (particularly when you’re wearing one of those suffocating, synthetic robes or protective capes), and the hair-​washing sinks are really uncomfortable — they need better padding, or a more ergonomic design. But I’ll gladly suck it up as long as Tammy continues to do such a great job with my hair.

Good salon if you’re like me and want something that’s easy.

I am in love with this place I cannot start explaining how happy I am with my hair!!! Tammy did my hair and she was amazing! I am not one to get my hair done often but I am so glad I came here this is my new hair salon and I will continue going forever!!! Tammy YOU ARE MY ANGEL!!! I love the way you did my hair thank you:)

Got a FANTASTIC Brazilian Blowout from Martin at Alonsay last week! It’s the real deal– not one of those «keratin treatments» that promise the world but are more like a deep conditioner than anything. Martin was super attentive and managed to tame my crazy curly frizzy hair without completely flattening it. Now it takes me literally 5 minutes to do my hair and it looks fantastic. Highly recommend!

I have been going to Alonsay for many years now.
Tova has been shaping my eyebrows — consistently picture perfect. She is a true artist. I also have heard from her other clients that she is amazing with permanent make-​up. I also have gotten my hair done by Genevieve and Martin. They are both excellent. The prices are reasonable and their work is superb.
There is always a great atmosphere at this salon. The front desk is accommodating and friendly. Kudos to Stacy and Michelle

I have been going to this salon for the past 10 years. Tova does it right. There is something very comforting about going to a salon where they know you… really know you; she always heats the wax for me at just the right temp (is that tmi??)
Lovely atmosphere and no attitude. Tami also does a great cut and blowdry (I have curly hair.)
Services:
* Cut and color
* Eyebrow shaping
* Waxing here and there

This salon is cheerful and welcoming, as are the staff. Always clean, always relaxing, always a good experience.
I’ve had Tova waxing my eyebrows since 2005. She’s amazing! If you’re in the Valley and need waxing, go see her!

I love this salon. It’s my favorite salon ever! The experience is always so relaxing. The ambience of the place is sublime, yet with a warm lived in feel. It’s not too sterile like some and not to loud and trendy like some. The staff are all cheery and sweet. Stacey on the front desk is always very friendly and efficient. I’ve been to a number of the Hairstylists (I can never schedule anything) and they all do great work. Tova is an amazing aesthetician. She is the Eyebrow Goddess and the Facialist Supreme.
Love, love, love this place.

Genevieve is terrific and is DEVA curl certified. DEVA certified is a technique for cutting curly hair.
I needed a DEVA cut and called Alonsay. I saw the sign in the window saying DEVA CERTIFIED and that was it. She saw me that Saturday and did a wonderful job. The salon is clean and fresh and centrally located in Studio City. Street parking is best.
The rates are very reasonable and the vibe is professional yet hip and relaxed.
Highly recommend.
