Jeffrey Kara Salon

I’ve followed Olivier to many salons over the past 15 years because I’m always happy with his haircuts. Even if I don’t get it cut for 5 months, it still looks fantastic! This is the best salon he’s worked at. Very convenient parking and the salon has a great vibe. Hope he stays at this place forever! :-)

Tryna is the best! My hair was dark even after I had 2 attempts of failed Ombres She got the exact color I wanted! My Ombré still perfect a month after my friend recommended Tryna, I’ll definitely come back!!!

I’ve gotten several cuts & blow-​outs by Kyle Estudillo and am always in LOVE. He is so talented, and a total sweetheart. I refer all of my clients and friends to him!
Jeffrey Kara Salon is stunning, and in an amazing location.
Favorite salon + stylist, hands down.

Have been a client of Jeffrey for many years and obviously love him as well as my hair because of him! I Also would like to send a few shoutouts to Trina –for color, Mike D –for cuts & of course Rosa who gives one mean shampoo. And last but not least June who has worked at the front desk since I have been coming here. peace

Olivie is the best, great blow dry and hair cut.
The staff is always friendly and the salon is conveniently located on sunset near the restaurants.

I found Julian Bahch after someone else had destroyed my color. I walked in looking like a clown, thinking I would have to cut off all of my hair. I have been with Julian ever since. He has been doing my color for over 14 years. He is the BEST. If you want a natural blonde that has no yellow, he is the person to go to. I get stopped all the time! He’s super fast, too! #julianhaircolor

Julian Bahch, Master Colorist is who I and Katherine Kelly Lang trust with my/​our hair color. Blonds have more fun. Julian makes it so. — IG: @JulianB7 #JulianHaircolor

I have been following Master Colorist Julian Bahch for almost 5 years! He is truly an artist when it comes to coloring hair! No wonder he has such a large celebrity following. He is so consistent, you can always count on your hair looking amazing!
His kind ways make it a pleasure every time! I love that he uses the best and latest products and techniques! One of them actually reduces coloring time from 40 minutes to only 10 minutes. My hair is my greatest accessory so I need the best colorist!

Kyle Estudillo for flawless hair.
Every time I have tried going light it always ended up looking brassy orange so I would go back to my dark hair… Enters Kyle. My hair is perfect– Seriously I have never received so many compliments/​so many strangers asking me who does my hair.
Bonus: Kyle is such a sweetheart and totally hilarious so your appointment flies by.

Kara is amazing.
Totally came here after a session at Equinox. And she did an amazing job on my hair. She colored it exactly the way I wanted. And was super friendly. The salon is clean, and I love the décor. It’s a bit pricy. However, you get quality service. Would definitely come here again.

I had a gift certificate from one of those SWAG bags that you get at celeb events… and I needed a great cut… enter Tasia, a fantastic stylist and overall interesting person. This salon is located past the café, to the right and below the gym (lots of cute hard bodies roaming around).
Tasia took her time (an hour and a half total) trimming off all of my damaged ends. She did exactly what I asked for– very long layers with an inch off the bottom. The blow dry styling that followed was beautiful and lasted for days.
The salon itself is loud, but has some welcoming elements. Cookies and iced tea in the back. The changing room is by far the largest and prettiest I’ve ever seen– usually these are closet-​like, but this one was in muted peach tones and comfy.
A really good experience!

Pricey but style comes at a cost! :)
Get waxed by Breann in the back and ask for gross stories to pass on to your friends and family. ;)

Absolutely the best! I have dark hair and have tried to lighten it before with still looking natural and never had success… Trina and Mike just transformed my hair! I left feeling so glamorous! Trina for color and mike for cut! Definitely money well spent. This is my new salon! It’s so cute inside and everyone was very friendly!

For the best do’ in town: Olivier for cuts and Barbara for color. You’re welcome
I suppose I can leave it at that and have you thank me later but I suppose you finicky Unilocalers need some help being convinced. so here it is.
Let me tell you, woman to wo (man). for being known as the most superficial city in the world it is damn hard to get a good haircut around here. Maybe it’s just my hair. I have a mountain of naturally thick, wavy, unruly jet black hair with a life of its own. Depending on this beast’s mood, I can wake up with stat-​icky, medusa type hair or if i’m lucky, some lovely, large, beach type waves. Point is, my hair always evokes «tsk tsks» and a sigh from some stylists and from others, a strange glint in their eyes. of the sort i’ve only seen in old western movies of cowboys during the beginning of a face off.
For years, I faithfully followed my uhmazing stylist up in SF wherever she went. I can confidently say that she was the longest, healthiest relationship i’ve ever had. My locks always felt so loved and looked amazing in the afterglow caused by her skilled, deft hands. I of course, being young and always looking for better, strayed a few times but always came running back, head hung low but she never chastised me and only made sure my locks were luxuriously beautiful again. I even started flying out to SF from LA on the pretense of «having lunch» with a friend but it was really to see her. When my last good friend in SF moved away, I realized I had no real excuse anymore to fly up there and so the search for a new stylist began.
Went to some of the most renowned salons in LA. Let me tell you, that don’t mean NUTHIN. My hair looked dreadful every time I got a cut from some stylist who loved to blab on about how they were the best friend and stylist to so and so A list celeb. I started to despair of ever finding a stylist of the caliber that I had. Was she truly a unicorn? Was it all just a dream? Thank goodness I was referred to Olivier.
Olivier: He is a hair styling/​layering/​trimming GOD. I have no idea how he fixed the dreadful cut that the last stylist/​butcher did but he accomplished just that and not only that, layered it in a way that even in the unruliest days, my hair flows perfectly and has the right amount of volume. Now THAT is skill. Trust me, i’ve been to countless stylists and I know skill when I see it. If he can tame MY hair, he can definitely make your hair beautiful. Olivier, if you see this, thank you. My friends are all dying to know who cut my hair.
I also love that he’s personable but pretty taciturn during the actual cut. There is nothing more I dread than a stylist who makes forced small talk with you in a way that makes the silences gapingly awkward. He is extremely professional and from my vague descriptions of what I wanted, he gave me the exact cut I desired and his blowout was awesome.
Barbara: Never had my virgin hair colored by her. I know I shouldn’t even be reviewing her but i’ve seen her work on friends of mine and she has done the loveliest jobs of highlights and dyes I have ever seen. My ultra picky best friend had highlights done by her and six months later, her hair still looks the best i’ve ever seen it. I had a short consult with her as I was bored with my hair and wanted a change but her being the honest, cool lady that she is (and cool is the word for her), advised me against coloring my hair and told me that my jet black hair best suited me. Hard to find that kind of honesty in LA. Love her, have sent others to her, and they loove her.
GOGO

OMG Trina & Mike! I love them!
I told Trina to avoid red tones in my hair & she totally did it. Gave me golden tone that suited my dark skin tone.
Mike made my hair go from stringy to thick!
I have gotten so many compliments!
It was pricey but so worth it! If I could I would go every week!
Never going anywhere else!

TRINA IS THE BEST COLORIST I’ve ever been to! Believe me I’ve been to all the best salons and Trina is by far the best colorist. Not only is she a true artist, but her warm personality and desire to please is so refreshing. A rare find these days.
She is also a brilliant stylist. I go to her every week so she can wash and style my hair. Every time she styles my hair, I have people stop me on the street and ask me who does my hair cause it looks so amazing! Thanks Trina. You’re awesome! :-)

Anh is amazing, and this salon is great. Parking isn’t too bad… I’ve been able to find street parking every time I’ve been.
One time their hot water was broken, but they apologized profusely and promised it would be fixed within an hour.
Can’t wait to come back!

I got my hair cut there this morning and want to go back already. The place is beautiful, clean and in a great location. Everyone was adorable and great at what they do (from the lady at the front desk to Rosa at the wash station to Jeffrey — who cut my hair).
Jeffrey was pretty quick with the cut and he did exactly what I wanted. He did not cut too much or too little. He had suggestions but did not go through with them unless I agreed.
His cut is $ 120 but it may vary among stylists (not sure). Considering how great the experience was and the location, it seems beyond reasonable!

Another banging, sexy cut from Olivier.

I had my hair color done by Barbara and I must say she is absolutely amazing. I knew I needed a change but wasn’t exactly sure what. I set Barbara free on my hair and the result was what looked like beautiful, naturally sun kissed blonde. I have NEVER gotten so many compliments on my hair. I had other customers asking me who colored it before I even made it out of the salon. I would love to keep Barbara my own little secret… but it’s just not fair to the world.
(Jeremiah completed my look with some lovely victoria secret –ish waves)
I LOVE THIS PLACE
