trim.

I’m in Venice for a month for work, and called trim. after reading the Unilocal reviews. I was lucky enough to get Star Williams, who was super thoughtful about my cut and color. My hair was long and lank and damaged, with a brassy home dye job. She gave me a perfect little wash and wear bob with a semi-​permanent golden brown color to soften and professionalize my look. The cut is sassy, stylish and feminine and works magic with my impossible-​to-​style, straight-​on-​top, curly-​underneath hair. I can’t remember the last time a haircut has earned so many compliments from co-​workers.
The salon itself is a pleasant, friendly, un pretentious space. It’s always nice to enjoy a glass of wine while your color is taking. ;)
I’ve had this haircut for almost a week and couldn’t be happier with it. Thanks, trim. Thanks, Star! You live up to your name!

I recently visited Trim on Abbott Kinney with a friend. We are from STL and last year while visiting Venice Beach for the day Debi did a spur at the moment hair cut. Drea did such a great job we came back this year while visiting CA. Drea did another incredible beautiful job on Debi’s hair.
This year I also made a appointment. My girl EVA was so incredibly awesome! She took the time and listened to what I wanted and what I didn’t want (which is just as important). Thanks to EVA I love my hair style. 5 stars to EVA for not only the great cut but being so sweet & patient.
I’m sure we will be back next year for EVA & DREA

Super happy with my first time haircut at Trim. Jacy was extremly nice and I’ll definitely come back!

Called Trim (on AK) today when I had to miss an appointment with my regular hair person (long time friend) not at Trim.
Met Star who cut my hair exactly how we discussed. I’m loyal to my regular guy but very happy with what Star did and would call her again. Thank you.

Love this place. Sydnee Gabriele is a rockstar. Best cuts best place. She gets it high and tight.
Done and done. Forever a client. Check her out

This is a really cozy place on one of my favorite streets in LA. Spontaneously decided to get my hair cut on a Sunday morning and was able to book a same day appointment with Curtis online.
I’ve always accepted that I’ll look like a prepubescent Asian boy the first month or so after a haircut, because my hair has a crazy tendency to stick out in the most unflattering ways when it’s short, and it usually ends up being shorter than I intend. Curtis was able to reduce the length to exactly what I wanted without changing the shape of my hair. Miraculous. Since I’m a very low maintenance girl who rarely cares to extend my morning hair routine beyond standard brushing, this was huge for me.

I had a great experience in February with Lindsay who is no longer working here. Today I had a terrible experience. It started with the searing hot hair wash. Maybe the person washing my hair has no sensation in her hands because it was virtually scalding. Then she does a half ass job on the cut. Spends about 10 minutes cutting. Totally uneven. Barely touches the top of my hair. She also does not trim my sideburns or even look to see if they started out even. Then she doesn’t finish with a hair wash so I had hair pieces left in my hair the rest of the day. Mind you this was a $ 55 cut. Total waste of money. I also paid $ 10 for parking which they didn’t validate.

Special shout out to Nico — who is absolutely AMAZING!!! During my first appointment she took me from a faded out pink /​orangey color to the most beautiful ombré I’ve ever had. I thought it was going to take two sessions to fix my color and it was night and day when I entered the salon, to when I left. Compliments on my new hair color from everyone!
I returned about 5 weeks later and she gave me a great touch up, enough to cover the roots but not too much to over-​process my somewhat thin hair. I will never go to another colorist in LA!
I love most that both times I’ve walked into the salon having no idea what to ask for, and she knew right away what would work best with my hair. She also cuts my hair as well, and its seriously looking more healthy than it has in years.

Nikki is amazing, love her chill vibe. Old Glory Barbershop recommended Nikki at Trim – so glad they did! Staff was super sweet. I got an appt the next day. Nikki was able to make me feel relaxed and confident about how to fix my red orange color hell– i had a bad experience at another salon last yr and have been hesitant – She gave me a great trim and style after she got me back to my natural brown color with super subtle peekaboos! She listened –gave me what I wanted– I call her my wonderwoman– I just moved into the neighborhood, so I feel good knowing I have my go to place in Venice now!

Love this place. Christine is the best! She has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past year and I’ve never been so happy with a stylist! She’s very nice and makes her clients feel comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, natural hair.

Sarah’s a very friendly person. She gave me a wonderful cut and I’m beyond satisfied. FYI — a first time haircut is $ 30. Highly recommend this place.

Highly recommend booking an appointment with Antonio!
I was only visiting Venice on vacation and lucked into getting an appointment with him. Not only is he an extremely warm and caring person, but a total professional. He took time to really understand what I wanted and communicated very clearly the plan for my cut. I felt like I could trust him right away, he was easy to talk to, and loved the result!

Nico should NOT be allowed to do color. I tried with her TWO times and both times left with a red disaster (I wanted icy cool baby blonde). SEE PHOTO. I’m sad.

I was visiting LA for a short while after New Years, and I desperately needed a haircut and color before I returned to Brooklyn. Except, when I looked up salons in LA everything was insanely expensive! I stumbled upon Trim walking down the street and noticed they had a special first time cut rate of $ 30…WAY too good to be true was my first thought, but I scheduled anyways. The receptionist told me I was with Nico, so I did what all of you are doing and Unilocaled the salon. The first review was glowing praise for Nico, so I decided to get my color done too.
Nico did a fabulous job with my cut and color. The color is PERFECT, which is hard to come by especially when the stylist doesn’t know you at all. She has great taste and knew exactly what I needed and wanted. The color still looks very fresh and shiny weeks later too.
The cut was also great. She was very judicious to not chop too much off, the inner fright of all long-​haired girls when they go to the salon.
She is also a lovely, friendly person who really knows what she’s doing :) You’re in good hands if you scheduled with her.
Thanks Nico! You rule!

Thank You Anna C. For my beautiful haircut! Trim is a great easy neighborhood spot with great stylists and a really nice atmosphere. I hope it survives the Venice of today.

Trim is where it’s at if you’re looking to have your hair done on the westside. Hip — funky — fun.
Sarah ALWAYS rocks my color. She’s extremely knowledgeable and willing to expand on the ideas you come in with. I’ve got an ombré that gets compliments daily and she keeps my roots cooler than cool — girl definitely knows what she’s doing.
My girl Drea is a master with the scissors — and recently gave me the best haircut EVER. I always keep my hair super long, but decided I was in need of a change. (Ended up chopping 6 inches) I sat down in her chair, showed her a few pictures, and she set off to work. Before I knew it she had finished the cut/​style and left me with the cutest lob. After this cut, I feel like a new person — lighter, younger, free! The end result was more than I could have asked for.

This review is specifically for Nico. She’s amazing!
It was my first time going to Trim and my hair has been totally transformed by Nico! I came in just for a hair cut and because she did such an outstanding job, I begged her to squeeze me in later that week to revitalize my color.
My hair hadn’t been colored or cut for over 6mo. (I know, terrible), but thanks to Nico I now get compliments and rock healthy hair.
Cut — I’m DYING to grow out my hair so Nico made sure my hair was healthy but still gave me my length. This is something I’ve been disappointed by in the past since most other hairdressers sacrifice one for the other. However, Nico was able to find the perfect solution.
Color — I’ve been coloring my dark brunette hair for years now to get a warmer look. Well my color and tone was off from the maintenance (or lack there of), so Nico redid my color with a beautiful balayage+. My copper tone transformed to a richer, caramel that better complements my skin tone and overall look. I’m particularly impressed with how natural (yet transformative) my color looks.
Nico is a bad ass sweetheart who has magical hair skills. She’s incredibly knowledgeable — I learned more from her in a couple hours than I’ve know about hair for my entire life. Go see her!

Natalie from the Rose Ave. was absolutely amazing, very precise, she really took her time to cut and style my hair, really understood what I wanted, I am more than happy with the result. Plus she is wonderful person, gave me some useful tips, I will definitely come back. Thanks a lot :)

Alyssa from the Rose Ave location is amazing!!! First time going to her, and I was impressed with her work. She made sure my hair cut and style was perfect before she released me. Can’t wait to strut my new look!!! Loving it!!! She’s an expert, hands down.
Trim salon is modern, edgy and def carries the Venice chill vibe. I read another comment that says prices are high but they aren’t; moderate pricing is more accurate. If you want a quality and hip haircut and style, this is the best deal you can get.

I like the vibe of trim but their prices are too high.
The best part of my experience was the wine and the atmosphere of the place. I’ve been to both Trim locations and both times my hair didn’t turn out quiet how I wanted it to. And for some reason the price hikes like crazy.
Thanks for the wine!
