Keenan Hair Studio 19

My review is long overdue! but it does not mean I can give feedback. First of all the location is hard to find but you really need to search the location accurately before arriving because you may accidentally pass the location. FYI just make sure you google the place first to obtain an accurate address.
Okay let’s move on. I met Keenan and omg I loved how he approached me and gave me advice on how to style my hair! Honestly, my highlights and hair color came out amazing and I have received so many complements. You literally notice the years of experience he has it’s quite visible. The more years a person has working with hair the more equipped the person is.
Altogether, I had a pleasant afternoon enjoying 80’a music with Keenan. My hair looks amazing. I love it

Another positive experience with Keenan. He’s a great listener, you really feel that he’s paying close attention to your questions and needs, and he’s very professional– his estimated time frame for getting my roots done was right on, and the color was a perfect match again because of his meticulous notes from previous sessions. He even taught me some technical things about my natural hair color from his experienced knowledge base as a colorist, things I never knew from previous stylists. I am still so glad & relieved to have found Keenan; he keeps my hair fresh and is a great professional to work with.

Before Keenan, I never left a salon feeling happy with my haircut. I’ve tried multiple curly hair salons including Ouidad and Devachan. Each time, I forked over quite a bit of cash but never liked the cut or felt like the stylist really knew what they were doing. The opposite has been true with Keenan. I’ve done three haircuts and one color with Keenan and I’ve loved each style. I ALWAYS get compliments on my hair afterwards and most importantly, I love it myself. I also really appreciated that he took the time to teach me how to style my hair and it looks better than ever!
What makes him different from other stylists that I’ve tried is his attention to detail when it comes to YOUR unique hair. As we curly girls know, no curl is the same. I have about three to four different curl patterns going on and he is able to find a style and cut that will make it work for all four of those textures. Before Keenan, my hair was a mess and in desperate need of help. I am truly glad to have found a stylist I can work with and one where I always leave happy with the result. My hair has never looked better. I highly recommend him to all curly girls looking for a stylist who really KNOWS curls.

Keenan is ABSOLUTELY the best at cutting curly hair. I have 2 girls 13 and 12 that are mixed and he Nailed it. I’ve never cut their hair really and he gave me the confidence to do it. My 13 year old said her self esteem went up by the amazing haircut. I’m not mixed but have curly hair and Keenan cut my hair according to my curl pattern. My sister is Hispanic and has wavy hair and she is so happy with her haircut too. His prices are soo reasonable and he just really teaches and recommends how to get the best out of your curl. We are all clients now for sure. See ya in 3 months Keenan

I have been looking for someone that knows how to cut short curly mixed hair. Many stylist don’t take the time to run though it with scissors to blend the cut. I Sat in Keenan’s chair today and was absolutely satisfied. Keenan answered my initial phone call and my many questions. Went in an hour later and he «squeezed» me in on a whim. Great atmosphere and I will be back very soon! Kudos to you sir…
Thanks,

I have thick curly chin length hair. And was in desperate need of a good hair cut. Since i moved to LA i tried like 3 or 4 hair salons, never went to any of them again. Until i found keenan. He was the best. So accommodating, from the phone call till i left the salon. Even though i arrived 15 min late for my appointment, he listened to me attentively, saw the pictures i had, took all the time to know exactly what i want my hair to look like. I loved that his salon was a tiny beautiful nicely furnished room with only one customer chair. It was one on one time for my hair like i had my private stylist. After he gave me the cut, he even took time to show me how to achieve the same look for my hair and how to style it afterwards. And gave me parking validation.
I would certainly go back.

What is there to say about Keenan that hasn’t been said before! He understood what I was going for with my look and executed perfectly! I’ve tried to get this haircut before to varying extents and Keenan is a true professional. He knows what he’s doing and you won’t regret paying him a visit. He’s also a great human being and I loved talking to him! The best hour I’ve ever spent getting a haircut. There was also a song playing as I left that was also playing on the Radio when I stepped into the car. Kismet

Keenan is great and really did an amazing job on my haircut. I came in with shoulder length wavy/​curly hair and I asked him to chop it off (think Jennifer Lawrence short). I came in with some pictures of the type of style I wanted and he really listened and gave me a haircut that was like the pictures, but also appropriate for my hair type and face shape. I have never gotten so many compliments on a haircut before, and a month out from the haircut it still looks great.
My hair has never been this short, so I also appreciated that he gave me tips on how to style it and what types of products I should use to keep it looking good.
Thank you Keenan! I definitely recommend this place and will be back in the coming months.

I have been Keenan’s client for about 5 years. He cuts and colors my hair. I was so fortunate to find him after three unskilled hairdressers. Ever since Keenan touched my hair, it looks and feels great. I get lots of compliments on the volume and color of my hair. I highly recommend Keenan.

Keenan is fabulous! If you are mixed race and/​or have curly hair, I highly recommend giving him a call. With me, he was extremely attentive and accommodating from the first phone call to the appointment, which was greatly appreciated by my busy schedule. He even came back to me to offer appointments earlier than planned, since I stated I would like to see him ASAP.
As a mixed race woman, I’ve had many yap and downs with my hair since I’ve moved to different climates and didn’t invest the time to figure out what works for me. So as my goal for 2015, I wanted to get that in tact.
Keenan dry cut my hair to help it regain it’s shape and also took the time out to explain to me how to get that salon look on a daily basis. He also encouraged me to work through the motions of styling my hair while there.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and truly had a blast. He knows his stuff ladies ! And he’s a blast to be around. My goal is to gain length, but I knew I had to give a little to get a little. So please keep that flexibility in mind if you have a vision for your hair.
I’ll be back in two months and am excited to build a new and long term relationship with him!

At long last, I have finally taken time to write this much needed review: Keenan has been cutting my hair for over four years, and I drive an hour out of my way for him to do so. He is talented, committed, and passionate about his work, and every cut is slightly different but always phenomenal. He does a simple mens cut for me, but commits an hour of his time. Plus, he is hard working, easy-​going, fun, and communicative. His prices are more then fair for the quality of his work. Keenan always makes time for me, and I always look forward to seeing him.

I came in looking like «Buck Wheat», left looking like Lenny Kravitz. The good Kravitz, Late 90’s Kravitz. In the hair. My face still needs help. But that’s not Keenan’s fault. I would give six stars but that isn’t even a thing.

I just moved to LA a few months ago from Austin, and my sharp angled bob needed some serious TLC. I had never done such a drastic cut before, and it was growing out pretty wildly as I have tight curly ringlets. Keenan completely re-​did the shape of my hair and it is utter perfection, full of movement and body and my curls have a life of their own now, just amazing! Keenan is hands-​down the best stylists I’ve ever had touch my curls, and I will not be looking any further. Additionally, he is just a joy to converse with and gave me some excellent advice on navigating LA and finding some cool spots that fit my personality. Prompt, professional, expert with curls, and a warm personality. You found the holy grail of hair stylists, congratulations!

Keenan is the best! Me and my boyfriend use his services for 4 years now and he always gives us the best experience. Not only he is a truly professional at what he does, but he is also an amazing person and a good friend! I did highlights for the first time in my life with him and was very happy with the result. Highly recommend him to anyone who wants to go blond!

Keenan is a great communicator and very precise with the haircut. He knows what he is doing and cares about his clients.
Before my appointment, I secretly saw him interact with his little niece and nephew: Adorable! (with a capital A)! I could tell he has great heart.
And, of course, I loved my haircut. :)

My hair was in need of a haircut and I was regretting the challenge of finding a hairstylist in California but I did some research and came across Keenan on
.
I read the reviews and everyone seemed to like him. So I did some more research on Keenan by looking at his website, Unilocal reviews and looking at his Instagram page. After doing my research, I felt comfortable scheduling an appointment with him.
I called him, left a voice message and Keenan called me back the same day to schedule my appointment.
When I got to the salon, he was waiting for me and even acknowledged the fact that he recognized my face (from Instagram). Lol. During the consultation, he examined my hair, asked various questions to understand how I cared for my hair and finally asked how I wanted it cut. Honestly, I didn’t know how I wanted my haircut. I just wanted some shape but he helped me to decide on the haircut because he wanted to make sure I was happy with it.
My haircut turned out amazing and he even suggested some new methods/​products for my hair to keep my curls beautiful.
Overall, Keenan is an amazing hairstylist and I highly recommend him to anyone especially my curly hair women because he knows what he is doing!

I’m so happy to be able to say that I’ve found my stylist! Keenan is wonderful — he takes his time with you, makes you comfortable, listens to your wants and needs, and sends you off looking FABULOUS.
The first time I saw Keenan I was lost. My naturally curly hair was practically straight from heat damage and Keenan fixed me up wonderfully. The next time I saw Keenan my hair hadn’t felt heat in almost a year and it was in great shape, but I was getting those awful tangly, spidery ends. I wanted to do something sassy so I showed Keenan a picture of a curly-​haired woman that had an adorable asymmetrical bob. He took one look at the picture and said, «Honey, that isn’t you!» He insisted that my hair type was too different from hers and would never look the same in that cut — so he gave me a better one!
Don’t be fooled by all the curly hair reviews though. My boyfriend has started going to Keenan for his shoulder length straight/​wavy hair and always loves how it looks. I would recommend Keenan to anyone that wants to keep their hair fresh.

I LOVE my new hair. I don’t think I’ve ever said that before.
I am hispanic with wavy/​curly hair that has always been unmanageable. And it’s always been long. So I decided to chop it and I’m glad Keenan was the one to do it.
Our schedules seemed to be completely opposite so we played phone tag for a while, but he was very good with leaving voicemails and texts. When we finally agreed on a time, I could not wait.
My appointment was today and the minute I stepped in I felt so welcome and comfortable. He was easy to talk to, very funny, and even educated me on 80’s music icons (i’m a youngin’). He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I showed him pictures of what I wanted and he knew exactly how to do it. Watching him cut my hair was like watching an artist in action. He gave me all the info on styling and maintenance, the do’s and dont’s, and product suggestions. It was literally the best salon experience of my life! And I was even able to donate 10 inches!
Go to him, he is a hair guru.

Well educated and schooled on my hair! Lord was I lost! I came in and he totally revitalized my curls!!! So grateful I found him

Wow. Let me start off with the fact that I am MIXED and have CURLY hair. Those are the words I scan for when reading reviews of hair stylists:]
Very prompt with returning phone calls. I called to see if Keenan had any last minute appointments, which he did not, but he called me that day to let me know he was unavailable and asked if I wanted to schedule an appointment for another time. During the appointment he talked to me for about 30 minutes, looking at the pictures I brought, to see EXACTLY what I wanted. I couldn’t make up my mind between growing my hair out or doing a short layered do. Keenan let me know what my hair could and couldn’t do, because a lot of the pictures I brought were of girls with curlier hair than me (I dream of having a big fro, but my hair is more 3b with 3c underneath, so that’s kind of impossible). No one has ever given me actual feedback before on what my hair could do. I usually just show a picture and they say «OK!» with the end product being not so similar.
I decided on a relatively short, layered cut (diamond cut?). I ended up showing him an old picture of myself as the model of what I wanted. Keenan did a PHENOMENAL job. He did exactly what I asked but used his hair knowledge to guide me because I’m still in denial about my lack of a fro. He actually LISTENED to me when I said «the bigger the better» and «I want a lot of layers». Most hair stylists seem to forget the back of my head when it comes to layering, so I get big sides with a flat back of the head. Not attractive. They also can’t understand why I would want big hair. I like to call this style a halfro. It’s big and rounded, but it falls right above my shoulders and I have ringlets the size of my finger as opposed to super kinky hair.
Anywho, Keenan is nice, an awesome stylist, and VERY affordable. 75?! Could it get any better?
Highly recommend and I will definitely be seeing him again.
One more thing. Not only did he tell me that if I wanted more done, he’d be happy to see me again (because he didn’t want to overdue it my first time), he also followed up with me the next day asking how my hair was doing.
SEE HIM.
