Brendan Padilla

Brendan is an amazing hairstylist. He’s very professional and takes his time to cut my hair just right. He’s also great at thinking of new hairstyles — I get bored sometimes. Is always on time and fun to be around!

we were in LA for a wedding and a friend of a friend recommended brendan to cut my toddler’s hair. brendan was fast and the cut is perfect. my husband asked for «paul weller mod» and that’s exactly what he gave us. he was not intimidated by a 22-​month-​old even though i could tell his main clients are adults. 5 stars!

Brendan is an excellent hair stylist. He gave me wonderful tips on how to style and wear my hair and isn’t afraid to take risks. I look towards stylists to style me, because I often don’t know what sort of hair cut I’m looking for.
The relaxed yet professional style of his home studio is ideal compared to noisy, busy salons.

Anyone that will come to you to do my hair gets my vote. Not only does he do an amazing job but I just continue doing whatever it was that I was doing before he came. Employees can still bug me. My children can still demand things of me or if I am lucky enough to have no one in my home or office at the time I can just sit back and relax.

I’m kind of picky about who touches my hair and was very happy to discover Brendan. He’s professional, funny and really knows how to cut a guys hair. He makes you feel relaxed and comfortable during the cut and will even mix you a good drink. (I recommend his lemoncello margarita!) I like the fact that he will come to my house or I can go to his studio. Basically, I trust him and he comes through in making me look my best. Highly recommended.

Brendan is super flexible, super professional. He delivers a five star salon haircut at a reasonable price. He also excels at suggesting a hair style appropriate for the shape of one’s face/​head/​coloring. Recently, he gave me a new cut, and no fewer than ten people told me I looked a decade younger. Instead of Botox, call Brendan.

When I got my first haircut from Brendan I realized how superior his work is compared to any other stylist I’ve been to. He has hands of an artist and excellent aesthetic judgment. Advanced expertise in issues of coloring. A true professional. He’s personable, listens well, an interesting conversationalist. Whenever I’m in L.A. I make sure to make an appointment.

I spent 3 years, bouncing around from hair stylist to hair stylist… always going on recommendations, and never finding the right person for me… a hair stylist is a very personal thing. You’re choosing your friend, basically. SO, that being said, one day, I was fed up after not having my hair cut in probably a year or more, and I walked into a salon in Santa Monica… there was a very cute boy standing behind the front desk. I asked him if there was anyone that could take an appt. with me at that time, and he said very brightly, «I can.» And thus began a relationship that has lasted near a decade.
The man is a genius with hair… incredible with color. I love to just sit in his chair and say «do whatever you want». There’s THAT much trust. This last time I went in to him with pictures of animé characters and said «I wanna look like that.» He didn’t even flinch. And he did an AMAZING job.
To top it all off, he’s an amazing guy… a wonderful friend, and he works out of his own salon that he has set up in his garden… with a nice chilled glass of wine, some cheese to serve up… he does it right!
AND he does housecalls, which has come in very handy for my close friend and my sis who are both moms.
Oh…and he’s nice to look at.
