EDGE Salon

The owner was nice and friendly. He then tried to sell me on a blow dry over just a haircut. Okay, any «good» salesperson would try to get more service out of a new client from the client walking in from a door flier, advertising only $ 14.99 for a haircut.
The problem: The owner charged me $ 25 saying that the $ 14.99 «is for short hair only.» Not only does it not say that on his flier, but it also clearly states: $ 14.99 for new clients, which I was.
I merely got a trim and he didn’t work on my hair for any longer than 15 – 20 minutes. Doesn’t it take about that time to cut males’ short hair, as well?
Was happy to support a salon new to me, rather than the corporate (but satisfactory) Supercuts but looks like Supercuts will continue to receive my business.
It’s sad that a flier «has» to be deceiving when he could’ve made more money off me in the long-​run, but decided to, apparently, charge an extra $ 10 for the short-​term.
Also, when I called to make the appointment the woman who answered was short with me when I asked if the $ 14.99 flier applied. She cut me off. Maybe that’s part of their agenda?
I do admire him for being a salon owner and working hard in what he coined as his «retirement.»
And the service/​quality was fine. But don’t «lie» or falsely advertise.
He gave a good hair trim, but the misleading advertising and reversal upon payment left a pretty bad taste. Sorry salon. I did like my hair trim.

I walked in after reading all the reviews for Tia and figured I’d take a chance. Tia, the owner was not there but Farah was. In all of the posts it say that Farah does waxing and facials but she also has 20 years of experience as a hair stylist. I got a trim and she reshaped some of my existing layers. I love the haircut and gave tips to style.

So I went in yesterday for my first Brazilian wax. It was not what I was expecting. It was a lot less painful than I expected it to be. Farah was wonderful she made me feel at ease immediately. She was very quick and thorough. I had an early appointment and was a few minutes late but she wasn’t upset. She’s a very nice woman. She offered my friend and I bottled water while we waited for each other.
Since this was my first waxing experience she hive me a lot of information. The pros and cons of waxing and even the battle waxing v. shaving. She didn’t push extra services but when we asked she provided them. Even showed us her pricing list posted. I will definitely be seeing her every four to six weeks.

Tia is amazing! After a budget salon gave me the most hideous cut I’ve ever had, I walked in first thing in the morning, and she turned it into a glorious hairdo. She was so friendly, and understanding. She told me everything she was doing and why, reassuring me as she worked. The other stylists seemed great too. Everyone was kind and complementary. I would say Edge may have provided the best salon experience I have ever had. I’m not going anywhere esle as long as I live in LA. Tia gave me my confidence back, and I could not be more grateful. Plus, her adorable grandson brightened my morning with his cute analysis of the rain. Plus he was so well behaved. Not many 4 year olds will sit still and quiet without a lot of persuasion. Tia obviously knows what she’s doing in all aspects of life.

Farah is the best.

Rosa is simply the best. She has taken great care of me and my family for over 3 years. I actually cross the 405 to come to her and I try to avoid crossing the 405 at all costs coming from Santa Monica but she is worth it. She does a great job with men and women’s hair.

Hamed/​Homer (his business card says Hamed, but he introduces himself as «Homer») does a great job. I paid $ 20 for a good, professional man’s hair cut. He shaved my neck with a safety razor, blow dried my hair to get out the stray hairs, and was exceptionally attentive. He really made sure I got what I wanted. I felt he was really exceptionally attentive and careful. The whole process took perhaps 40 minutes.
For an ordinary hair cut for a white-​collar worker, he offers excellent service at a fair price. The salon is run by Persians, but seemed welcoming to a garden-​variety white guy like me. This place is far, far better than a comparably priced cut from a chain salon. Exceptional value and service.

Tia at Edge Salon is amazing at her trade. She has taken really good care of my wife every time. She is very friendly and her customer service skills are great as well as the wonders she does with hair.
Tia is the best.
Thank you Tia.

Farah is amazing. I regularly go to her for waxing, she is very clean, fast, and most importantly on time. it is very important for me since I use my lunch hour to go to her. I tried her threating service and I am very happy with the outcome. Not everyone can shape your eye brow with threating. I love it that she explains the pros and cons of each treatment. She is not just to make money she cares for her clients. it is kind of awkward when you go for waxing but she makes you very comfortable and she is very clean and the least amount of pain. She is PRO. I will recommend her services to anyone.

This is my second time going to see Farah. I found her the first time through Groupon. She is by far the most painless when it comes to Brazilian waxing! She’s also funny and personable. I would highly recommend going to her if you’re sensitive to pain like me.

Farah Kay is Amazing!!!
She threads my eyebrows to perfection. She takes her time and gives great attention to every single hair follicle to create the perfect eyebrow shape for your face. I refuse to have anyone else touch my eyebrow except her. Her facials and waxing are also unlike anyone else I have every tried. I definitely recommend her to everyone looking for an esthetician to meet all their skin needs.

Farah is amazing! It was my first time ever getting a bikini wax. She made me feel extremely comfortable and she is very knowledgeable of her work. I will definitely be returning :-]

FARAH KAY IS THE BEST! Waxing is always painful for me. But with Farah Kay, I felt the most comfort one could possibly have with such a torturous procedure. Her technique was quick and she was very gracious and professional. I was late an she still rushed me through so I could make it to work on time. Great customer service, professionalism and service. I will recommend to all my friends!

As you can imagine, after my first experience with Farah for my Brazilian, I’ve been a returning client. I really can’t express how she is the best at what she does and how painless and comfortable she makes your Brazilian.
I’m writing this update because I’ve now tried Farah for her threading services (eyebrows and upper lip). I’ve been very happy with the place that I get my eyebrows waxed, but as I creep further along my early 20’s I’m having less and less time to run around to different places to get all my tidyings done all over the place. So, since I love Farah’s Brazilian services, I tried out her threading. Surprise surprise… it was amazing. I’ve only been threaded once before (6 years ago), so it was a new experience all over again. Farah is currently helping me to reshape my eyebrows to have a fuller and more shapely appearance. The upper lip threading was painless and a great addition to her threading services and the overall experience. After the threading, not only did Farah give me advice on how to best care for my eyebrows, she helped to explain the benefits of threading (vs waxing) and I’m hooked.
A good esthetician provides good services in her salon. A great esthetician like Farah provides amazing services in their salon and then tells you how to care for yourself after you leave their salon doors. That is what Farah does; she is truly amaaazing at her crafts and if you try out her services I’m sure you’ll be hooked too.
Oh and side note: she really puts her clients first! I had mentioned during my appointment today that I’m glad she’s open at 9 so I can run in before work. She said if time is ever a problem that she’s flexible for her clients and I just have to ask in advance if I need to come earlier than her normal hours or even later if I want to come by after work. She is one of a kind people!

Farah was AMAZING
Waxing can be very awkward and painful but not with Farah. She is friendly, genuine and a true artist. I never experienced such a pleasant wax. It really didn’t hurt.
Maybe if its your first time and you can’t tell the difference, you won’t be able to TRULY appreciate her talents. But for an old pro like me who has been waxed from Arizona to Brazil. she is the BEST. The least amount of pain I’ve ever experience during a wax. I always thought I had to choose between either fast and moderately painful or slow meticulous and LOTS of pain… Farah gave me a whole other choice, it was meticulous, fast and pain-​free.
She didn’t offer any discounts or incentives for me to give this review, I’m just writing because I feel if you have extraordinary service like this, you have a duty to pass the info on to another woman so here it is…
She offers a groupon for only $ 25! her normal price is the industry standard, so she’s well worth every penny

i went in today for a haircut, and was completely disappointed. maybe my expectations were too high, b/​c of all the great reviews this place has gotten. but it looks like most of the five star reviews are for tia and my haircut was by mary.
first of all, the «salon» is totally dingy and borderline dirty looking on the inside. second of all, mary trimmed my hair but did not put in any layers or do anything to give it any kind of shape (even though i specifically asked for layers). i didn’t push the issue too much, b/​c i figured bad choppy layers would be harder for someone else to fix than a bad haircut that’s all one length. finally, when she was finished i had to point out that one side was still longer than the other. and it wasn’t by just a smidgen. it was at least half an inch in the front.
i wasn’t really all that upset since i kept telling myself, what can you expect from a $ 20 haircut (which is the price listed for haircuts on the sign at the register). but when mary rang me up, the total was $ 35! which i guess is her price since she’s a «senior stylist.»
maybe you’ll have better luck if you only ask for tia. or if you’re a man and/​or if you only want your hair to be all one length. but for $ 35, you can definitely get a better haircut somewhere else.

Can I just start off by saying that I am truly impressed. From beginning to end Tia was more than accommodating, professional, and nice. If you want the whole story then please read on.
I recently moved out here from another state and was terrified to go to a new stylist (you just never know). My hair was in desperate need of a cut though so onto Unilocal I went to find something close to where I lived with good reviews.
I found this salon and gave them a call. Tia answered and was more than helpful at getting me in this week. I work weird hours (9 – 7 usually) making it difficult to get into appointments, so what does Tia do? She came in extra early so that I could get a hair cut before I went into work and made sure that I was able to get out of the salon so that I could get to work on time. That to me right there is just amazing.
During the service she was just great. She listened to what I wanted and then explained everything that she was doing and why throughout the entire hair cut. She showed me how much hair she would trim off so that if I didn’t want that much or wanted more I could voice my opinion. She also made sure that I was aware of how much she would have to take off to give me layers. She even explained the styling product that she was putting into my hair. It’s only been a day that I’ve had my new cut but so far I love it.
The prices aren’t too expensive either. It’s about $ 30 for a woman’s cut. It goes up if you get your hair washed and styled, but she mentioned to me that if you come in with your hair already wet then she won’t charge for that and if you want to go home and style it yourself then you don’t have to pay for those charges as well. In summary I think that it was worth the experience and I will definitely be going back to get another hair cut from Tia.

Tia Legoski is definitely the only person that knows my hair better than I do! I have followed her all the way from Berkeley to LA! She’s simply someone that I can not let go of! Whenever I ask other stylist to cut my hair, it gets fairly complex. I would always ask the back to be cut a certain length so I can style it a certain or just have the front trimmed the way I want it. Tia listens to what I want changed, and, executes her actions, and delivers phenomenally! Once again, she knows my hair better than I do!
I have recently got my hair highlighted by Tia and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten so many compliments on my hair before! My streaks came out beautifully and my color was more than perfect. If you’re a person who love to color your hair in an EDGY way, Tia is the one to go to!
Best of all, you’re never going to find all the diverse factors (such as coloring, consultations, cuts, perms, scalp massages, styling) for such an amazing price! Although the salons interior might not look the best, your experience there nevertheless would be anything less than satisfied! Make your appointment! I promise, you can’t go wrong!

I met the owner of Edge Salon, Tia, a few months ago through the West LA Chamber. I’ve had trouble finding a good place to get my hair cut, so I thought I’d give her a try.
She is now my go-​to salon for my haircuts! She did a fantastic job on my hair and understood what I was looking for, even though I had a hard time articulating it.
I have a couple of difficult cowlicks and my hair is baby-​fine, so it is difficult for most barbers or hair dressers to effectively shape and style. However, Tia did a great, and now I don’t have to use hardly any gel to make my hair look right.
She is also a fun conversationalist with a friendly personality. All the staff seem great.
The interior of the salon is not much to look at, but I understand she’s getting ready for a remodel. Such things are not important to me when it comes to haircuts, so no rating deduction from me.

Yup, it’ s about time I break my Unilocal review cherry. Hopefully this is the first of many to come.
I figure someone’s first Unilocal review could go one of two ways. You’ve experienced the worst service known to man, and you want to vent to the world about it on Unilocal.Or, you experienced something so amazing, you decide to give that business the recognition it deserves. Luckily, I’ve chosen the latter.
EDGE Salon is MY Salon. It’s tough to find quality cuts without giving up an arm and a leg in Westwood. EDGE Salon is just that. Quality cuts, for a great price. Tia, the salon owner, is one of the most understanding, genuinely nice people. She’s a great communicator, which is key when getting a hair cut. Let’s be honest, when a dude wants a haircut, you know what you want it to look like, but have a hard time explaining. Unless you’ve got some sort of Fabio action going on, the terms «split ends» and «layers» just don’t apply. I tell Tia, I want is shorter, but not too short, but business professional, without being lame and boring. See, doesn’t make sense. Tia then says… okay, well how about if I do this… and this… To which you respond, YES! YES that’s what I meant.
Anyway, if you want to pay $ 50 to get a standard hair cut, then off you go Fabio. You’ll pay around $ 20 – 25 including tip here, and leave with a solid hair cut. BOOM goes the dyanamite!
