Haas & Co Hair Design

Susan does the best gel manicures ever. She is also an expert at French manicures. I have been a customer for over 10 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommended. Worth the price!

This review is for Diego who has been doing my color and style for over a year. Every time it looks better! Totally recommend it!!!

I’ve been to Brian when my hair was long and he’s now cutting it when it’s short. He studies your hair before he begins doing anything. I’m growing mine to a longer short cut and he is taking it through some great phases. He is artisanal with a cut; precise.

I’m loving my Brazilian Blowout! Dana is the best!!!
Why didn’t I do it sooner? My hair is silky and
looks great after I workout or shower. This has changed
my life. I no longer have to go for weekly blowouts or
have bushy hair. My highlights still look beautiful.

As a former Aveda apprentice/​stylist, I’m always looking for a salon associated with Aveda and their products. Pricey for sure, but I only get haircuts a couple times a year so it’s worth it for me to splurge.
My first haircut was great — I can’t for the life of me remember this woman’s name, but she really knew how to wield a razor blade on my long hair. I’d used blades myself as an apprentice, and it’s no joke. I had an amazing grow-​out phase with that cut and was very happy with it. Four stars for that, and for the beautiful, bright salon itself.
The second time I went I ended up with a different stylist who didn’t seem so thrilled to be there. A nice person, just not… excited, y’know? I noticed right away that she was using foundational techniques I had been trained to use as a beginner in hair school, nothing fancy and certainly nothing with true style; a sort of hesitance, if you will (eek!). She asked what products I had at home (AVEDA) and she made a face, bluntly stating she preferred a different line (What the heck?! you SELL Aveda!).
That haircut was definitely better than what you’d find at some mall pop-​up or Super Cuts, but I was sort of seething inside about having paid over $ 100 for someone to run my hair through some cookie-​cutter basics. Look, I’ve been there — it’s easy to ‘hide’ a haircut in long hair and hack off three inches to call it good. But when I go to a pricey salon like this, I’m paying for a unique interpretation of my hair. I’m paying for excitement about my hair. I’m paying for you to say, «Holy shit, I know exactly what’s going to look great!» I was a walk-​in, sure, but I paid handsomely for something pretty plain.
My advice is to try the place out, see if you can catch a good stylist and just keep going back to that same person. As with any salon, you have to find someone you really get along with, like finding the needle in a haystack.
Nice environment. Good for walk-​ins. Just be wary.

I was really disappointed this second time around. I had gone before to get my hair blown out and I was happy with the end result. The hair stylist was great and I only paid the $ 40 which is what they promote for a blow dry of your choice (including if you want curls). I went back this past Saturday to get my hair done for my birthday. I didn’t have to wait long and I even asked the man working the front desk if I could add curls to my hair. He said yes and that the stylist was very good. The stylist came and took me into her room. She did my hair. She blow dried it and did the curls like I asked. When I went out to pay she said I had to pay her directly and it was going to cost me $ 70!!! I was completely stunned. She said that she doesn’t work for the salon and that she’s independent. This WAS NEVER STATED TO ME AT THE BEGINNING! I would have never agreed to get my hair done at the cost of $ 70! This was ridiculous!!! The man working the front desk SHOULD have told me that he was going to sit me with an independent stylist and that she charged a completely different fee from what they charged. I was so upset and felt taken advantage of. This was total BS. Not going back!!! and I would suggest that anyone that does go ask if the stylist is «independent» because they will pull a fast one on you.

This review is for Brian.
I waited a week to write this review because I wanted to see how manageable my hair was for me. My hair is wavy and if it’s cut right can be almost curly. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve left a salon loving my hair and then never being able to get it to look quite the same again. Another thing about me, I refuse to «style» my hair. I will use product and scrunch it but I will not dry it or use a curling iron, this is a tall order for any hairdresser.
Brian took his time, asked me some questions, assessed my hair and then got to work. WOW is all I can say. I loved it but was really concerned that it would never look this great again. It does! It looks great every single day, and I’m getting lots of compliments.
I have found my forever hairdresser!!! Thank you Brian!!!

This review is for RACHEL!
Well, let me tell you, ladies — I am one picky person when it comes to my hair (aren’t we all?). And I have had a particularly hard time finding my hair stylist soul sister since moving to LA 2 years ago. My hairstylist in Sacramento (who I had to leave behind) was my longest relationship. And it was SO hard to leave her. Like — I considered doing a long distance relationship. I don’t do that for dudes… haha.
But I found my new love with Rachel. Took a couple rebounds to find her, but I’m SO glad I did. She really gets what I want and does exactly what I had envisioned and so much more. I have been getting my hair cut and colored with Rachel for over a year and she recently did my hair and makeup for a red carpet event.
Cut/​color: I am growing out my hair and man, if Rachel hasn’t made it look good in that in between stage. You know what I’m talking about. It’s the worst. It’s growing out wonderfully and I freaking LOVE the color. She is a freaking genius. I’m on a budget and I’m able to wait a little longer in between visits because the color grows out beautifully. I make my next appointment when I don’t even really NEED to. I’m just dying to get back in to get all spruced up:).
Red carpet event: Oh Em Gee… I felt like a freaking movie star. It was breathtaking. I wasn’t sure what I wanted (I’m not always the easiest client) and she figured it out after seeing my dress. High bun and gorge makeup to compliment my long, gold, sparkly gown.
Bottom line: If you like feeling purdy, get your booty in to see Rachel. She’s it.
Reference: I have a LOT of hair, but it’s fine — I’m a «natural» blonde. Well, blondish. Let’s be real — do any of us know our real hair color?

I live a few blocks away from Larchmont and I have come here from time to time to get my ends trimmed. The first two times I went here I was happy. Today however, not the case.
I came in to get them trimmed, plus a little bit of a styled cut, and was handed over to a woman who’s name I cannot remember. Apparently she has been cutting hair for 10 years and works the Emmys and Oscars.
She didn’t wash my hair. She cut the ends with a razor the majority of the time. Half my ends were trimmed the other half are exactly the same… my hair was left frizzy and looked terrible.
Needless to say, I’m unhappy with the cut. I called the manager and told him this, he offered to give me half my money back, which I took him up on. I’m thinking I should have gotten all $ 50 back, but I settled.
Anyways, all I’m saying is this. ²⁄₃ times I was happy, but it only takes one poor hair cut to stop me from returning.

Dana does an incredible job there. Highlights are fantastic and great haircuts — even with my curly hair!

Whenever I’m in town I spend a lot of time on Larchmont, mostly at Pete’s next door to Haas & Co. The last time I was there I needed a manicure before a wedding, and dropped in to Haas & Co just in time to snag a free moment for Zina, their manicurist. She is absolutely wonderful — charming to talk to and did a great job on my nails. I’d recommend her in a heart beat.

Tried this place 3 times, way too expensive for the services they provide. But today has been the worst episode, after calling to make an appointment I left my cell phone and be told that at noon with iman the guy that has cut my hair several times before. Arrived there12:00 and had to wait more than 20 minutes with no explanation for an expensive hair cut… I canceled my appointment and told them that I am not coming back. When you pay more you expect more, and this place is not delivering that extra, it just charges it.

WORST HAIRCUT EVER.
Walked in. 50 bucks for a mens hair style. Cool, I’m looking for a pro haircut. I end up having to have her re do the back of the haircut 3 times– it looked HORRIBLE the first two times. Then she acts like the cut is done. I look in the mirror. There is literally a 2 inch tuft of hair sprouting out the side of my head. I stood up, pulled thr towel off, went to the front and said «either get me someone who can actually give a 50 dollar haircut, or I am not paying for this crap and walking out. He stammered… I said «does this look like a good haircut? See this tuft?» Terrible haircut. I’ve never walked out of a hair salon before. Horrible.

Brian is a master. I have blonde highlights that he took from over processed to perfect. Warm color, natural, and a minimum of processing. Love, love! He is a true find. The salon is so friendly, plus they have great Aveda products. They work with me when I need a last appt. too. This place is a find! I’m hooked!

I have been going to Jennifer for about 6 years. I have followed her to 3 salons. She is simply the best colorist in LA, AND she knows how to cut curly hair too! Love her.
Rachel is also an amazing hairstylist who will always greet you with a smile. Not sure what I would do without my hair girls, but luckily I just go to Haas & Co and don’t worry about it!

I have been to Haas a few times, both for services as well as purchasing products. I did take advantage of the 50% off the new stylist offer that had back in August, where the guy who cut my hair did a fantastic job and was very personable (Emon or something like that).
As for purchasing products, it has been hit or miss with the staff. A few months ago I went in to Haas after a good run (I live near Larchmont) and was completely ignored while I tried to by some Aveda makeup. The receptionist – taller long blond hair girl, totally ignored me while I stood there with a tester product in hand, did not even acknowledge me as I stood in front of her trying to pay for an actual item. AND, I tried to get some free tea while I patiently waited and it was empty :(…so for that experience, I just simply put down the tester and left. No one stopped me from leaving and I went to Larchmonet Beauty supply to buy my eyeliner.
I also bought Aveda Lipbalm, and hair products and for the most part, I have had pleasant experiences with staff. I did have to return after 15 minutes one time because they overcharged me by $ 12 for items that were in their sale basket, so that was annoying, but it was remedied right away.
Overall, I will be back when I need Aveda and am in the area, but the Staff really needs to start stepping up their game.
Even if you are busy working with a client, AT LEAST acknowledge everyone who enters the front door. It’s common courtesy.
Oh yeah, for services, tip is only accepted in cash.

A great experience!
I called on Tuesday and was immediately offered an appointment for Wednesday afternoon with Brian. I’m always a little skeptical with people cutting my hair, but Brian was fantastic! I had purchased a Groupon and was able to use it.
I wanted my hair cut for Locks of Love and he had to look for rubber bands to tame my unruly, thick hair, but was kind and accommodating. He even commented on how fun it was! At the end, he offered to blow dry my hair even though it wasn’t included in the Groupon. He was mindful of the time and when I thought the meter had expired, another stylist offered to go put money in the meter for me so that I could enjoy my styling!
I thoroughly enjoyed going to Haas and would definitely recommend the place!

I bought a Groupon and was able to get in for a cut on a Sunday a few weeks ago. When I made the appointment, I asked who could do a graduated a-​line bob, and they told me to see Dana. She did not dissapoint. She was very meticulous and asked me questions while cutting my hair, like if I wanted one side longer or asymmetrical, and how long I wanted my bangs etc. She also gave me a blow dry for free even though it was not included on the Groupon. And the refreshing thing about Dana — she was very genuine and did not appear fake. She was easy-​going and relaxed and I truly enjoyed talking to her. This made me feel very comfortable. And even if I didn’t have the Groupon (although this is a nice way to try someone out), regular prices are very affordable!
How do you know when you have a great haircut? When your get about 20 people in your office telling you how cute and great your hair looks! That’s a good feeling. I will definitely be back, even though Larchmont Village is about 15 miles from here and I have to sometimes struggle through traffic. I don’t care — Dana knows what she is doing and does a fantastic job. Thank you miss Dana and hope to see you soon!

My review is based solely on the 90 minute mani-​pedi I obtained through a Groupon deal.
It was excellent!
I know for a fact, that it mainly had to do with my manicurist Susan. She was the nicest, most attentive manicurist I have ever encountered, and she really knows what she’s doing considering she has 15 + years of experience.
To let you know just how great the experience was, let me tell you that not once did I even feel her working on my nails. I would look down and be amazed at how well my mani/​pedi was looking without even feeling my cuticles being worked on, or her filing of my nails. And the end result, was gorgeous! My mani lasted a full week, and would have been longer had I not put my hands through hell. My pedi is still in tact after almost 3 weeks and looks great! Also, the mani/​pedi really did take 90 minutes. I don’t know who said they got a 45 minute treatment, but I would really make mention of that considering I received everything promised and more.
Next up I’ll be trying the gel manicure. Saw it and it looks good enough to eat!

I got a Groupon here for a manicure and I’ve never been so frustrated. Not only did I have to wait thirty minutes for my manicurist to show up from her lunch break, but I asked for a french and she said no because she didn’t have enough time. Are you freaking kidding me? To top it off, her friend comes over and asks for a manicure, so of course she tries to squeeze her in after me and rushes through my manicure.
So then I proceed to choose a color and she has around 10 or 15 colors on her little bench. So I walk over to the wall full of colors, but no. Apparently, the manicurists don’t share colors. I could only pick from her measly little collection! asdfghjkl
The business in general just seems poorly run. When I got there, there were a bunch of customers waiting and all the employees either seemed frantic or just chillin’ on the side. However, I will say that their hairstylists look like they know what they’re doing.
