Hair Escapades

I absolutely fell in love with Amber. She had a great personality which made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. She really knows her art and does not let you leave her chair without you looking and feeling fabulous. I got off of work and was looking for someone who could take me ASAP. I found her on Unilocal!and decided to give her a call, she said that she could take me in right away. I was looking for something different and she hooked me right up. I also liked that she took her time with me and did not rush the process. I am a very happy customer and look forward to coming back in the future.

I went to Hair Escapades on Saturday, and was very pleased with the services. I received a thorough washing after a relaxer touch-​up, and in my experience, this is very rare. This was my first time going, and I found the services to be professional. It was also nice to know my hair was not pasted on my head, but it had body and shine. I felt very comfortable, and I am so happy I was able to find them. It is good to know that there are hair stylists that care and are invested in ensuring healthy hair. This salon will be a staple for me!

I went to Hair Escapades on Saturday June 4, 2016 to get my hair done, after I had done a google search for Black Hair Salon. I had spoken with Amber over the phone, and she sounded pleasant and friendly. It was my first time going, so I didn’t know what to expect.
However, the moment I walked into the place, I knew that i would be in good hands. I was greated very warmly by Amber and her assistant Ashley, offered water and was immediately taken to a chair; didn’t have to wait. she seemed to knowledgeable, know what she was doing, and made me feel at ease. I felt like I needed to cut my hair, since one side of my hair was breaking off tremendously, and I was thinking of cutting to match the other side. She actually convinced me not to cut it, but said that she would «hook me up» and did she ever! I felt comfortable in allowing her to do, what she does best, and in the end, I was really happy with my hair!
instead of cutting it to match the other side, she gave me a trim and gave me a rocking assymetrical hairstyle, which looks kick ass on me! I had an awesome time while she was doing my hair, because, she wasn’t distracted, like other hair dressers I have visited… she wasn’t having a conversation on the phone, stopping to answer the phone, or talking with someone else; She was singing and just having a good time working on my hair. I was in and out of the shop, in reasonable time.
The shop was clean, organized and the temperature was just right. The bathroom was immaculate. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be going to see her again, and will recommend my friends!

If you are going any where else but HAIR ESCAPADES you are wrong!!! Amber is the best of the best. I had really messed up my hair trying to dye it myself and i came to her looking like a really ugly broom! I mean my hair was horrible and the AMAZING AMBER fixed my hair and left it Gorgeous. I love it! I ONLY TRUST AMBER with my hair. She is great at what she does on any type of hair! Very fun environment also so you are never bored while you are there! Go to Hair Escapades today! Now! Get your appointment and see what I’m talking about! Ask for Amber she’ll get your hair looking great ! Very professional!

I have been going to Amber for some time now (inconsistently) and each time I am greatly pleased with the results. My latest visit did not disappoint! First, there’s parking! An awesome and rare occurrence in Los Angeles. Her salon is clean and welcoming with water, tea, wine, and a lovely assistant who did an amazing and thorough job washing and blow drying my hair. My favorite thing however, is that Amber is very knowledgeable in regards to hair health. She has diet recommendations that can boost the health of your hair and is passionate about helping you look your healthiest best! My hair has been dry and uneven and she trimmed it and began the process of bringing it back to life. I am looking forward to regular visits and seeing the results!

Hello hello! Is this thing on?
The lord knows I am not a Unilocaler but I am so happy to share love with businesses that realize that the relationship between consumers and businesses are not just about service but also about growing our social and neighborhood connections. I love my experiences at Hair Escapades. Not only is it a pampering session but every visit confirms I am a welcomed member of a far greater social hour. It is like Happy Hour for Hair. The location is easy to find, plenty of parking & super diva-​nique (I just made that up. Do not steal it).
Amber is AMAZING! I love that she is such an honest, caring, sensitive and attentive Hair Architect! I love that her consultations are aimed at educating you, treating your hair and «TAKING YOU FROM DRAB TO FAB!» She is a genius with all hair types!
Seriously, my steadfast recommendation when you are seeking a Hair Artist, please do not take my word for it, go in to Hair Escapades, find out for yourself and grow your social connections

Everywhere I go I get compliments on my hair, I am so Happy with the outcome. You want a drama free, fun and clean environment? Check out Shirley at Hair Escapades in Tarzana, CA. She’s the best and she really cares about the health of your hair. I’m so happy I found her. Love that when I make an appointment I am seen at my appt time which is a big plus.

Yaaasssss! Is all I have to say for my experience at Hair Escapades. Shirley always hooks my hair up, but she truly outdid herself on my color. It’s vibrant and multi-​dimensional. Ever angel gives you different tones that build to give you a full richness of color. If you’re looking for someone who can do hair color right ask for Shirley. Check out some of her work on her Instagram page @ShellyRoseBeauty.

Hello, happy (satisfied) customer here! I found Amber after inputting a google search of «best black hairstylist in the Valley» because, for this ex-​New Yorker that’s a very rare thing to find in my new city. After reading her reviews on Unilocal and checking out her YouTube channel I immediately liked her personality. She was very personable over the phone so I made an appointment for a wash, blow dry and hair trim. I was very happy with the results and will definitely return. Why you ask? I’ll tell you…
1) SERVICE: Welcoming, professional and open communication.
2) LOCATION: Close to my barber (man, did I rejoice when I realized the proximity between the two shops). Also, I left the Valley twice for mid-​wilshire and 3 times for Crenshaw in search of a good stylist. All ended poorly for some reason or other which only hurt more when I got stuck in traffic on the 405 on the way home.
3) AMBIANCE: The shop is warm and comfortable.

This was my very first time having my hair styled by Amber. The enthusiasm and passion she has for styling hair is contagious. I was smiling and laughing the entire time.
I had my hair cut into an A-​line and the entire process felt like I was on one of those makeover shows; felt important. I experienced VIP treatment and just had a fabulous time.
I am In love with my cut and I now have a new stylist.
BIG plus is the awesome parking. Sometimes parking on Ventura blvd is a pain, but not here.
Thank you Amber and Shirley you two made my day. I am truly grateful.

Love my new look!!!
It’s been a minute since I have had my hair done professionally and after finding Amber on Unilocal I decided to give it a go… I am so glad that I did.
I walked in with a ponytail and walked out with beautiful hair! It’s a special gift that people have when you know that their hands in your hair will make a difference and while this is my first visit, I look forward to having her skilled hands in my head!
Not only did I love my new hair — the best perk: not being in a shop so long that I need benefits for part time employment (ie being in a shop for more than 4 hours for routine services) LOL I loved that I was the only client in the shop (at the time) and I was in/​out/​fabulous in no time flat! I love love love that!
I have already booked my appointment for 2 weeks — and cannot wait to have those hands in my head again! ;-) Thanks Amber!!!

Amber is amazing! She is very professional and takes pride in her work. I am so in love with my hair. I went for my first time on Friday and was blown away by the ambiance and customer service. Very relaxing atmosphere. The beverages and snacks were a plus! I will definitely be a continuing customer from here on out.
Thank you Hair Escapades!

Love the new location and love amber! Go here for your hair! I have been a costumer of ambers for almost 5 years now and there is no other person I would go to! I get extentions and blowouts from her and I can really say there is no one else that can do my hair but her! I always leave fresh and my hair always looks amazing! The new location is super nice with easy free parking in the back. It’s right off the freeway. She offers you drinks and snacks when you arrive, plays the best music and guarantees you have a fabulous relaxing time! Go to amber for all your hair needs!

Amber is AWESOME! Thank God I found her! For the last four years I’ve been stuck in hair hell… hair shedding, scalp dry, itchy, and flaky, ends splitting, lifeless drab hair, and dealing with a stylist who couldn’t manage a salon or her life for that matter and then was forced to become a «mobile» stylist. For someone who is a dedicated client and gets their hair done on a weekly basis, I looked like a hot mess, just an embarrassment to myself and those that have to be around me. I should’ve left long ago. But then… I found Amber, who is AWESOME! She’s not just a stylist but a hair doctor. Finally, someone who cares about my hair issues. She recognized the problems, addressed the problems, came up with solutions and has a plan. Hair shedding, itchy flaky scalp, split ends NO MORE, and all in just a few short weeks. I’ve never had so many people compliment me on my hair before. But enough about me. Amber is the ultimate professional (which is rare in her line of business). She’s never been late, in fact, she’s usually waiting for my arrival. I’m in and out in a timely fashion, even after a scalp treatment session (which is a must, AMAZING). Her salon is immaculate, pristine, spacious, and there’s ample free parking. Amber has and is actually taking care of my hair just like a doctor would take care of their sick patient. I’m so glad I went from drab to fab.

Amber is amazing!!! I searched for a quality hair stylist in LA for years and I’m so happy to found her. Short hair, long hair, thick, thin — If you want your hair done right, come here! She is such a professional and so sweet to her clients. I always come away from my appointments smiling!

YES. YES. YES!!!
I absolutely LOVE this salon and Amber! The new salon is spacious, the assistant welcomed me the moment when I walked in the door, which was so awesome to see. She offers beverages, treats, and always has good music going. The salon is clean, comfortable, and there’s even a VIP treatment when you’re getting your hair washed and conditioned. Also once you walk in, there’s no sit and wait for a long time to get to you. I always get a full sewin and it’s always so fast and my weaves NEVER hurt! My hair has grown so much since I’ve been coming to Amber. She is the absolute best! If you’re looking for the perfect salon in the valley, Hair Escapades is it! I love it here!
I hope this review helps you decide on where to get your hair did!

I have been going to Amber for years!!! She is amazing! I will never trust anyone else in LA to touch my head again. Her new location is perfect. Private! Relaxing and convenient. Parking is easy! Everyone needs to come visit the new salon. It’s an upgrade from what was already an amazing experience.
