Blade & Brush, Inc - Santa Monica (CA)

Maria Erinn is amazing! Highly recommend going to her for the best styling. She’s been my longtime stylist and I’m so excited to be her customer at her own salon. She gets my curly wavy hair and is a coloring savant — she brought me back to my original hair color and my own family couldn’t tell the difference. She’s seen me through long haircuts, shorter bobs and everything in between. Erinn is also the loveliest person to chat with and gets exactly what you mean when all you have is a half baked image in your head. 10/10

Samantha Blake My favorite salon!! I always book with Meg and she is the absolute best. I always leave happy and I definitely recommend this place to all

Marc Israel I walked into this zoo for humans in need of haircuts, having never been there before. I was greeted very warmly by Toni, a barbress, who was cutting the hair of a female of some advanced age. Meanwhile I was offered a beverage by another employee during my wait - believe it or not I was given a cold bottle of Rolling Rock. Nice. After not too long, Toni was ready for me. She couldn’t have been more friendly, - “a doll” as a previous reviewer put it - and was very curious wanting to know exactly how I’d like to get my hairs cut, wanting to please and help her customer. This was lucky for me as I am very PARTICULAR and have/had very unruly, thick, long hair and wanted a certain kind of layered look for which I came prepared with pics and a big pile of adjectives. Toni drank in all the info, and UNDERSTOOD it where so many barbers in the past have not, and, well, long story short, she gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve had in many moons. Price for a man’s haircut? $38. Might not be the very cheapest, but for this area of LA, it just might be! I highly recommend this place!

Dawn Jenkins I have been coming to Soshin for maybe 20 years. I have been so very grateful to find a superb hair stylist, Noelle Ruiz, that really knows what she is doing and takes the time to do an excellent job. For the last decade, my husband goes to have her trim his hair as well.

Dean Massee Scott is the best stylist I’ve been too. In addition to his top notch skill, he takes time to learn about your hair. He listens to your concerns, needs, ideas etc to make sure he gets it right and you’re happy with the cut. After all, we know our hair better than anyone. It’s a collaborative process. Prices are fair, the studio is clean, and Scott has a great personality. Go no further. You have found the best!

Mya Stoessel I cant praise my hair stylist enough! Shes not only incredibly sweet but also incredibly talented. I recently transitioned from dark blue to light pink, and the result is beyond amazing. My hair feels soft and healthy, a true testament to her skill and care. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fantastic stylist!

Erin OConnor Lovely experience! Jonathan Brown is a very experienced stylist who provides friendly service and expert cuts for everyone in my fam at his private salon suite in downtown Santa Monica.

Neda Bayat Been coming to Vanessa & Amad for my hair for years. I’ll follow them anywhere. My hair is always refreshed and looking amazing even if I go in looking like a mess. Plus, it’s like free therapy because they are natural healers so you feel good as well as look good. This is a great place for my hair and my brain!!

DIANA KEINEJAD I recently had my hair colored by Taylor at Coloration Bar, and I couldnt be more thrilled with the results! Taylor is an exceptional colorist with an innate understanding of what her clients want. Its rare to find someone who can not only grasp the exact color you envision but also deliver flawless results. Highly recommend for anyone looking to perfectly capture their desired look!

Haley Katz Shideh is AMAZING! After having my hair destroyed by other stylists shes the only one I trust to cut/style my hair. I needed someone who understood what shade of blonde would suit me and she knew exactly what to do. Shideh always listens to what I want, and I know I can always trust her to make my hair look fabulous...just look at the difference!! :)
