Flaunt Salon

Fantastic experience at Flaunt! I’ve been putting off getting a haircut (due to prior bad haircut) and had serious split ends and all styling had disappeared. Ross got my hair back to being healthy and gave me beautiful long layers. He also blew dry and styled my hair, all for a reasonable price. You can put your long hair in Ross’s capable hands!

Being new to Long Beach, I randomly stumbled by the salon and noticed their collection of bumble and bumble products. Who can resist? I went in looking for something new. Matt noticed me and walked right up and explained to me how the products worked and what was ideal for me. The staff was so nice and helpful, I’ll be coming here the next time I get trimmed.

My husband absolutely hates getting his haircut, but Ania changed that. She does an amazing job and always keeps his haircuts professional, but more interesting than your run of the mill haircut place. He followed her when she moved to Flaunt Salon from Dean Anthony.
I have never found a hairstylist that I love, but I kept hearing from my husband how great Ania was and found out she cuts and colors hair for women too – so I forced him to set me up with her. :) I gave her a try and after a few haircuts decided to let her do a balayage on me. I didn’t color, highlight, etc. my hair before then. I’m a no fuss person when it comes to hair – I need it to look nice, professional, and be easy to maintain. Ania does an AMAZING job and she is just plain fun to chat with. :)
Unfortunately, my husband and I moved up north so we don’t go to Ania as much. He has to get his haircut near our new place and it’s just not the same (I never thought I’d be able to distinguish between a nicer men’s haircut and a basic one). I’m not ready to find a new hairstylist to trust with doing a balayage so I’ve scheduled my haircuts and colors around when I am in Southern California visiting family. If you are looking for a new hairstylist check out Ania. I’m sad we aren’t local anymore, but am writing this review as I’m on a flight to LBG and am heading straight to the salon for my appointment when I land. :)

I needed to shake things up with my hair style and was a little nervous to try a new salon. Everything about Flaunt was great, and they even have (delicious) beer on tap to ease any jitters. Great space, well designed, and has that laid back LBC vibe with just a little edge. Angie spent a lot of time looking at pics of the styles I liked and made sure she knew what I wanted before cutting. I’ll definitely go back! And the prices are more reasonable than my previous cuts in LA.

Matt is such a great stylist. I always love my cut and style. He’s funny and easy to talk to. Atmosphere is nice and comfortable.

Can’t say enough good things about my experience here. When it comes to my hair, I tend to be pretty impulsive; when I decide I want a change, I need it done then or else I move on. I called Flaunt after waking up one morning and deciding I wanted it cut.
Not only were they able to take me that same day (I realize that may have been a rare– and fortunate– occurrence) but they were also able to pair me with an amazing stylist. Alex immediately made me feel like I could trust her, which paid off because she gave me exactly what I wanted, even though I was unable to put into words what I had in my head. Come to find out, she was a hairdresser in Beverly Hills for 10 years prior to moving down here and focused primarily on haircuts, which has always been my downfall. I have had girls who can do color that I’m happy with, but I’m continuously disappointed with the cut. Well, I finally found my girl.
There was not one second where I was anything but relaxed and happy in her chair, and the real excitement came 3 days after my visit; when I had to wash my hair for the first time and see if it was a cut that was easy and manageable for me, which was pretty much my top request. My expectations were completely exceeded. My hair is thick and what used to take me 45 minutes plus, now takes 15 minutes max to style from start to finish. I am in love. I couldn’t recommend Alex more for anyone wants someone who really works with what you want and what will work for you. And extra stars to Flaunt for making it so easy and pairing me with such a perfect match!

It was my first time here and I must say it was a nice experience. I got my hair cut and styled by kathia and she did an amazing job! I can run my fingers through my hair again love it!

Went to see Ross Carrilo for a trim. First time here and from the minute we walked in the atmosphere was very friendly.
I can’t rave about this cut enough. I trusted him and put my single life in his hands. Ross didn’t let me down. If this hair gets me married Ross will be my guest of honor.
I honestly haven’t gone to a professional in a while because I couldn’t trust is get a good cut. I’ll be getting all my cuts here with Ross.

I moved here 3 years ago from San Diego, and spent weeks researching salons and reviews trying to find the perfect fit for my sassy A line bob cut. I was so scared to try new places, and for weeks, drove back to San Diego just to see my old stylist.
It took a few bad cuts, a Peter pan cut at one point that was supposed to be a minor trim from shoulder length hair lol, and then I found Flaunt salon and their top notch hair stylist Angie. I was so blessed the day I called the salon and they set me up with Angie for an appointment. I was nervous, but could tell by her own sassy hair cut and awesome style that I was in good hands.
Angie is AMAZING. She’s dealt with my hair in so many of its different styles, colors and stages. She’s an absolute expert at what she does and her hair creations. She will give you great advise on any inquiries you have, and won’t do a style or color on you unless she knows it’s going to look excellent and fit your face and style just as you wish.
Many other places will just say ok to what you request with no advice on what will actually compliment your face and skin, and they’ll just chop and color exactly as requested and you walk out looking worse than you came in. To have great expert advise and to walk out of the salon after stepping out of her chair is just the most amazing feeling. Watch out now world lol.
She’s not only an amazing stylist, but also an awesome listener when I babble my brains out while she works on my hair. I beyond recommend her for any style or color you may desire. Ask for her advice, and trust in her opinion. She’s going to make you feel and look FABULOUS !!
The salon is so gorgeous and the receptionists they have are always so sweet and professional. They have cute gifts and clothes for purchase as well. I love that they offer a nice glass of wine while you wait. Overall, my favorite salon in Long Beach. The overall experience is just outstanding by far in comparison to others !
Give them a try, and ask for Angie! You will thank me !!

I am little biased since the only person that I like to get my hair cut with, Andrea, moved to this Salon. She is just amazing, I have been getting my hair cut by hair for probably over 6 years I think, so I would follow her anywhere at this point. But even if it weren’t for her I still think this salon is great. They always offer me complimentary water, beer or champagne and the staff are very nice and professional. So in conclusion if you decide to try this place definitely ask for Andrea and also try their beer :)

I went to see Lori today. She was running behind, which wasn’t a big deal, but it seemed to be for her. I had barely sat in the chair when she asked me what I wanted done. I told her a cut to remove the damage from my hair, a new style, and color. She didn’t listen to anything I said and was planning to just trim out the damage, leave the style as it was since I already had layers, and throw in some color.
I was ushered to the changing room and she just made up a color for me, «a chocolate right?» No, that’s not what I wanted. She said she wanted to mix the color while I changed so I went back to the chair to show her a photo of the color I wanted from my phone. Then she was off. No showing me hair samples to make sure I was getting the color I wanted, or asking about the brand of color I wanted, permanent or semi-​permanent, no discussion.
I changed hesitantly in the robe room and went back to her chair. I’m allergic to ppd which is A HUGE DEAL and I know the brands I can use (which I confirmed they had a couple brands a week before I came in). She was back with the color and about to put it on. I had expected her to show me a sample of the color first, but she had already mixed up a random color (which when she showed me the color was FAR from what I wanted).
I left out of there as fast as I possibly could. I was uncomfortable the entire time, she didn’t listen to anything I said, and she did things without thinking. Totally bummed since I took off an entire day. DEFINITELY rethink going to Lori if you’re looking for a stylist.

First timer at this salon… Loved it! Had Matthew cut my crazy thick hair into a tamed beauty! Thank you… Matthew for making me feel pretty again! There’s nothing like having trust with your hairstylist… I am now a loyal client of his… For life!

I skated in a sweaty headed mess. Ross cleaned, cut and styled my locks. I’ve lost few inches and gained a bouncy healthy head of hair. Thank you Ross Carrillo!

Have had great experiences here. Recently had my hair cut and dyed deep purple by Ross and I am in heaven! He’s efficient and very talented. The best part of the experience was how personable and sweet he was. I’m terrible at staying on top of my hair care but I will definitely be running back to him more frequently!
Ha, I just looked over past reviews and see I am not the only one who struck gold with Ross! Yes, he is amazing and I am a huge fan of his work. :)

2 years ago I had my hair cut (from long hair to a pixie) at flaunt and I have been a client ever since. Angie is awesome and you will not be disappointed. You will walk out looking amazing! Great people and clean comfortable salon. From cut to color she can do it all :)

I had Tommy! He was so wonderful! I had been fearful for a long time to go get my hair cut, I’ve been growing it out to donate. When I went in my hair was down to my belly button, and let me say I have a lot of hair, so for my hair to be that long it was totally unmanageable! I wanted to tame my mane while keeping the length. Tommy was so patient during our consultation while I described the beast that is my hair, and was considerate when I told him that I wanted my hair to be more manageable. He asked how I normally style my hair, or how I would like to. This opened up a new conversation of how I manage my hair and its separate personality.
He kept my hair long and wavy, giving me some long layers to make it more manageable while keeping my length intact. Over all I lost about 3 — 4 inches and about 2 lbs of hair (Lolz, maybe I’m exaggerating a little). But now my hair falls just over my boobs, and the shortest layer is around my collarbone. I love that he styled it after so I could have an idea for how the layers will fall. As he was styling he snipped off strays that are usually left by others, like I said I have a lot of hair so things are easily missed.
Bottom line I love Love LOVE how Tommy tamed my mane while keeping my length! I wish I’d had confetti to throw around after my appointment with Tommy!

Yesterday was my first time at Flaunt but it was not my first time with my stylist Ross Carrillo.
The salon has a warm, funky vibe and everyone is friendly. I was offered a variety of beverages such as beer, wine, mimosas, coffee, and much much more while I was waiting and was asked several times if I would like anything else.
Now to the best part, my wonderful talented stylist Ross Carrillo. If you are looking for a new stylist give Ross a try. You will look and feel like a million bucks when you leave. I can’t say enough great things about him. Give him a try; you won’t be sorry.
Thank you Ross you make me look and feel so beautiful and sexy.

Just got finished with trying out the flaunt salon. I called day of to make an appointment for a deep condition and a blow out. They had room! Sweet! I walked in and it’s very clean, cool and extremely pleasant. Everyone was super nice and polite.
Every time I go into a salon for a blow out, I always expect the worst… because I have super dry curly hair which is hard to manage. But omg! That didn’t stop Tommy. First of all He gives an amazing head rub while washing. He’s super personable, very gentile and works quick.
It’s awesome when you have a cool, good looking fashionable person working on your hair! But It’s Even better when it’s finished and you see how great it looks. I’ll definitely be back… and I for sure will be making my appointment with Tommy!
Thanks dude. Definitely left with a smile.

Loved this place from the start! Brandon totally took care of me! Great customer service. I loved Kathia and what she did for me! She was honest and told me what needed to do. Honestly is a great thing. I left feeling fabulous which is what I wanted! She cut my hair and gave me the sun kiss look I wanted! Thank you Kathia and Brandon!

I went here because I wanted to get my hair dyed for the first time. I didn’t want to go too crazy, just an ombré (I was thinking of a pastel pink). I had an appointment with Alex (guy Alex) and I showed him a few pictures with the hair style and color I wanted. I specifically said, I wanted an ombré and I showed him a picture of this girl’s hair with entirely dark pink on the bottom then slightly darkening as it went up to her natural black hair.
He said he could do the ombré but immediately told me that I couldn’t go to a pastel pink because it would be too damaging (my hair’s naturally a dark brown/​black). I was a little bummed, but I was fine with going a darker pink (sorta like a fuchsia or the dark pink like the ombré reference picture I had).
Fast forward a bit and I took off my glasses so it wouldn’t get in the way of him putting the bleach on my hair. It was a pretty dumb idea on my part because I couldn’t even see myself in the mirror but I trusted him.
I’d say that the bleach was in my hair for around … 2 hours and it was only a regular blonde. (My appointment began at 3:15pm. I didn’t get the bleach washed out until 5:30.)
By the time he finished dying my hair we were the last ones in the salon and I’m pretty sure the place was already closed. (I think he started drying my hair at around 7pm).
He began curling my hair, which required me to keep my glasses off for longer. With my blurry vision it looked good, I could see the fuchsia and it seemed to be okay with all my hair pushed in front.
However, when he went to go ring up the bill, and I put my glasses on I realized it wasn’t as great as I thought. With all my hair pushed to the front, it looked like he just dyed the hair underneath and left the top layers untouched. (Sort of like he pinned up half of my hair and just dyed random strands that weren’t pinned up)
My mom took a picture of my hair from the back and I realized it wasn’t even ombré? It was like really, really thick highlights. It looked like stripes.
It was too late to talk it over and I had to go to a family get together we were late for. I hoped that maybe after playing around with it I would grow to like it more.
Nope.
Since they aren’t open Sunday or Monday (my appointment was on Saturday) my sister called on Tuesday. She got the receptionist and told her I didn’t like my hair and asked if we could get it fixed. She said she would talk to Alex and have him call back. He didn’t. I think we called at least three times, all with no callback.
Even if he couldn’t fix it for free, he could have at least called back and said no.
