Eco Heads Salon - Santa Monica (CA)

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!!

Ashy B Such a nice experience. They were efficient and very sweet. The bottom floor is like a store but also has comfy seating to wait in while the upper floor is bright and open for when you have your appointment! It wasn’t too loud or noisy and it was aesthetically pleasing! Pricing was decent for a Venice hair salon and everyone was friendly!

Monique Quiros 90 Day UPDATE: I recently made the drive from Las Vegas to Santa Monica, and let me tell you, it was so worth it! After getting the perfect color I wanted 90 days ago, I knew I had to return for a refresh—and I’m glad I did. The drive may seem long, but when you’re greeted with such high-quality service, chill vibe- it’s all worth it. From the luxurious shampoo and conditioner to the heavenly scalp massage, every moment felt indulgent. The vibrant refresh of my original color? Flawless! If you’re looking for the best in color and care, the trip to Koko at Aube is a no-brainer. JULY 19- In late May, I decided to transform my blonde balayage into a rich wine red. Multiple stylists in Las Vegas, informed me that to achieve my desired shade, they first needed to apply an auburn color to neutralize the blonde and assess if the final color was achievable. Despite the uncertainty, I took the plunge with one of those stylist and was left with a dark auburn color with peaks of blonde that didnt take. Eight weeks later, I found myself in Santa Monica, CA, and stumbled upon Aube Salon. On a whim, I approached a stylist named Koko for a last-minute attempt to achieve my dream color. I showed her my inspo photo, and without hesitation or excuses, she assured me she could make it happen. Koko even promised to help recondition my hair. Skeptical, I waited for the reveal. But when I put my glasses back on and saw the stunning result, I was blown away. My hair looked perfect, almost like I was wearing a flawless wig. The salon, a Japanese style hair establishment, clearly delivered exceptional quality. I had my daughter with me and she got long layers put in her hair, a refreshing and thorough shampoo, followed by a blow dry. Im now a devoted fan and plan to return in three months for a touch-up, regardless of the four-hour drive or hour-long flight. Its worth every mile for such beautiful results.

Das P Ashlee was absolutely amazing . Couldn’t recommend her enough. Super fast and talented hairstylist .

Lena T Annika is the first person in the states that Ive ever trusted with my natural (3b/c) hair, and the first person anywhere to ever color it, other than myself. And I couldnt be happier with my results! I never write long reviews, but this feels warranted. Backstory: Ive been highlighting my own hair sporadically since 2020. Recently, though, I got a bit too careless with my technique, which resulted in some serious banding and brassiness. Unfortunately, I dont have any "before" pictures because I couldnt bear to look at it, let alone capture it on camera. But to visualize, the banding was so bad that in some parts it almost looked like leopard print. Needless to say, it was absolutely nowhere near the slightly chunky balayage I had in mind. & I knew I needed professional help. Back to the review: Annika was very knowledgable during our consultation, and I felt so safe putting the fate of my hair in her hands. She explained everything we would do with full honesty, telling me what styles would and wouldnt work for my hair. After the actual appointment, I can tell you one thing for certain, she KNOWS what shes doing. My tragic DIY "highlights" are now completely unrecognizable, and I finally feel confident wearing my hair out without needing to style it just to hide the banding. Plus, my hair still feels healthy and strong. Shortly after my appointment, I went out to run errands and ended up garnering compliments on my hair color at almost every place I stopped — which, was a fun bonus to the overall great experience I had that day& also a testament to the quality of Annikas work. I do know that shes incredibly skilled with a variety of hair textures, but I especially want to highlight this for my fellow curly hair folks. If ur looking for a stylist in the Santa Monica/West Los Angeles area who truly understands curly hair (which genuinely feels like finding a needle in a haystack) — congratulations, you’ve just found one in Annika. Book the consult girlll

Enrique Quintero There are no better options to style your hair in all of Santa Monica. None. Ive tried so many and Bombshell sits comfortably at the pinnacle. The staff at Bombshell make sure to treat you like a freaking celebrity. Its definitely one of those salons where you find your new hair bestie to bond with and they become a part-time therapist like in the movies. The vibe is definitely warm and welcoming, with a touch of luxury that isnt too full of itself. I dont think Ive ever had a single negative experience in this salon. Everyone is so well trained and incredibly detail-oriented. Ill be going back again and again until I die.

Sarah Stepien Carolann does AMAZING color and cut! She is absolute perfection and would recommend her to anyone! She actually does more male haircuts, but Ive been going to her for over 15 years and shes amazing everytime!

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.

amanda irwin I have a TON of hair and have walked into salons that have taken 6 hours to do a full head of high lights, making a terribly daunting task to do my hair. Kendra over at Daidone not only did the best job out of everyone I’ve ever gone too, but also did it in 2 hours. Best work I’ve ever gotten in a very timely manner; you can tell she is beyond experienced. She will be my girl from now on forever!

Joshua Townshend Sara is - AMAZING. Anything she does - touches - puts her awareness on - turns to pure gold. She has such impeccable intent - you can FEEL it when you walk into her space just off Montana in a lovely part of Santa Monica. While early in my process - I feel that we are on the right track with my hair growth process. A lot of people might have the TED machine - but no one has the heart and the passion and the integrity that Sara has. Looking forward to more progress. More updates to come
