Larisa Love

Larisa is the God of hair! I came in with so much breakage and uneven color that wasn’t even close to blonde and she transformed me to blonde and beautiful in one sitting! She made my hair healthy again by cutting it perfectly and doing the best protein treatment! Literally in love with her and her technique! She is worth every penny and is the best of the best!

Look no further ladies! This is the place to go! She is so awesome! Not only is she gorgeous, her work is just as amazing! She nailed the look and color, I didn’t even have to explain myself, she just knew.

Just got my hair done by Larisa for the first time and I love it! I needed a huge blending correction WITH 20-​inch extensions. She turned my hair from dark brown to platinum tips to a firey Orange balayage. She was so sweet and helpful and really took the time on my hair that it needed and then some! Love my hair! Her assistants were very nice too. All three of them blew my hair dry to get me out of there so I could go to a previous appointment. Highly recommend!

Larissa is the only person I trust to touch my hair. She makes sure that the desired hair color/​cut is exactly what you want. The picture to the left was from a couple weeks ago. I asked another hairstylist for ashy silver blonde hair color with dark roots for low maintenance and long bangs to frame my face. (I’ve only had bangs one time and that was when I was three years old because I decided to cut my bangs myself.) Obviously that was not the outcome of my hair, it was a blue/​green color with bangs that were shortened with thinning sheers. Turns out I had the same bangs when I was three years old.
Larisa was there to save the day though! I cried so hard when I went to her salon because it was seriously my worst nightmare that came true. As you can see on the right side of the picture I got exactly what I asked for. I no longer feel the need to be self conscious about my looks because Larisa did an amazing job and was on point with my vision about my hair.
Thank you SO MUCH for fixing my hair Larisa. You are such a genuine and humble person. I respect your hard work and passion. Larisa saves the day yet again!

Honestly, I’ve been following her ig for a while and always wanted to get my hair done by her but never made any attempts to book an appointment until earlier this month. I think it was mainly because I was looking for a colorist in my area. I went to go get my hair done by an up and coming hair colorist in my area and let’s just say I wasted 5 hours of my time and $$$. Long story short, he cut my hair really uneven and left me with brassy orange hair. So, when I saw that she had an available appointment on her ig, I msg’d her immediately. It was a 2 hour drive there and 2 hour drive back for me, but it was definitely worth the 4 hour drive and 5 hours of getting my hair processed.
She fixed my haircut and gave me face framing layers and also gave me a cool undercut! I asked for steel grey with dimensional colors and it came out exactly the way I wanted it. I’ve washed my hair out 3x already since I got my hair done and the grey is still looking great. The blue isn’t really as obvious anymore (I’m ok with that) but the grey looks gorgeous. I got my hair bleached 2x within 2 weeks apart (once from the previous colorist and once from her) and it does not feel damaged at all! In fact, my hair still feels pretty healthy. I warned her that my scalp is really sensitive, so she was really careful with my scalp. Her two assistants were great as well! I’m not too much of a talkative person and I never felt pressured to make conversation with them. I enjoyed just chilling while getting my hair done and enjoying the company of three other people. They’re all down to earth, chill, funny, and sweet. I had a good time.
She captured my heart and my hair! Will definitely see her again.
update/​not much of a surprise, but i’ve received so many freaking compliments on my hair! larisa was right when she warned me that grey was a very high maintenance color! i only wash my hair 2−3x a week with cold water using the toning shampoo and the color is gradually fading but doing it so beautifully! every time i wash it, it’s a different shade of grey. i’m super happy with my hair!

Amazing! You definitely pay for what you get. Larisa doesn’t treat you like just any client, she treats you like family and makes you feel at home. From offering you water to wine or coffee, to being your therapist and so much more. She goes the extra mile with your look and you definitely feel the love and care. Thank you Larisa I love my new look!

Larisa and her staff are amazing! Great service and friendly. Larisa has a gift in hair. She knows exactly what she is doing and her knowledge for color is beyond! I came to do a bayalage red from dark brown hair. Even though she has a waiting list, whenever she has a cancellation she will fit u in. You must go to her!

SHE. IS. AMAZING. She is absolutely the best of the best! I still can’t believe that she did my hair! Then entire time I was there I was on cloud 9 (hair, wine, chocolate and great people!)
Larisa, as well as her assistants, make you feel so comfortable, never once did I feel nervous about my hair transformation. Larisa explains what color will best suit your skin tone and makes sure you understand exactly what she is going to do.
I’ve followed her on Instagram for over 2 years and I finally got the balls to go to her. The only regret I have is why didn’t I go to her sooner?!
After she did my hair it was like I died and came back to life with some bomb ass hair! My hair slays!!!

I have gone to Larisa’s salon for about 2 ½ years now I believe. As soon as you walk in to her salon she makes you feel welcomed. I’m always super excited to sit on her chair the ambiance of the salon is so relaxing and you know your about to get great hair. She now has two assistants this last time I went. I just went in for a toner and a haircut and my hair looked like I just got it done all over again and it’s been 3 months since I did anything to it. She always leaves my hair looking amazing. The service is great! She’s great! I highly recommend her to anyone who reads this. There is nobody else who I let touch my hair now. Thank you Larisa!

I can’t even express how thankful I am to have Larisa as my hair stylist. I’ve been going with Larisa since 2014 and after my first appointment in Studio City and I just can’t imagine going elsewhere to get my hair done. I used to have those high lights that every girl had and trust me it was not cute. I look back now after getting my hair done by Larisa and I’m like what the heck was i thinking. Seriously once you’ve sat in that chair and have got your hair done by Larisa you’ll understand what I’m talking about. Her studio is so cute and I really feel it shows her fun personality. I especially love that chandelier she has that makes you feel like royalty, at least I do! Larisa and her assistants are totally attentive and helpful. From the moment you sit down, there’s complementary water, espresso, tea, even chocolate for that sweet tooth.
With every appointment I always come in with an inspiration or an idea of what I would like and Larisa always goes above and beyond with my hair expectations. But don’t worry, your hair creation is your very own, no two colors are alike. She recommends what colors and shades work best for your skin tone and help complement your complexion. Because of Larisa I’ve able to try all these fun colors from lilac, to rose gold, to a silver lilac, to now a silver grey and with every color I get tons of compliments no matter where I go. Larisa also has «buena mano» for cutting hair. My hair would never grow and it would frustrate me so much, now my hair grows so much I need a hair cut all the time! Plus when you say cut of one inch she’ll really cut off one inch not like in other places where they cut off half your hair and you just want to cry. The cuts always give my hair that nice texture look and give it so much volume and bounce. The hair massages are truly the best! I’ve gotten my hair washed by both Larisa and her previous assistant Andres and it’s like omg a piece of heaven! I could literally fall asleep that chair.
I can really go on and on about Larisa and how great she is but I think that’s pretty clear now. Larisa is worth every penny and every mile on that 405 freeway. You really get what you pay for and getting your hair done by Larisa is one of the best things you could do. Larisa is truly the best! Seriously love her :)

I’ve been following Larisa on Instagram since 2014. I finally got to sit in her chair for an awesome transformation. The experience absolutely worth the wait and every penny. She is truly talented, a perfectionist by heart, and a genuine wonderful human being! Very efficiently we discussed the style and costs in advance. No surprises what so ever through the process (especially for the costs & schedule), and the result is stunning! She and her assistants Andres & Frankie spent about 3.5 hours on me. What a great teaching/​partnership on what to do (& why) for every single step among the 3 of them! They are super nice, courteous, and attention to details. The environment is clean, modern, not to mention the offering of wine, espresso, and great music! I am really happy about my result! And got so much compliment already! Consider how busy she is, she still takes time to take your photos/​video and put them on Instagram (for additional attention & love from her thousands of fans)!
I think LA is a funny place– we have lots of «celebrity stylists», but the wait & hassle & costs could be beyond the imagination. Larisa & her team are so amazing. She does what she do best, and honest to her promise. Please if you are still contemplating, get you on a book now!

Ms. Larisa Love is the real deal. This lady is a freakin hair ARTIST! I came in with damaged, grown out blue hair, and she practically brought it back from the dead. I am going on a trip to the UK in a couple of weeks and could not stand the idea of taking pictures with my hair the way it was. Larisa posted on IG that she had a last minute opening, so I texted her (a first time client, I might add). She later revealed to me that when I sent the pictures of my hair over, she was so stoked on doing it that she squeezed me in even though that spot had already been claimed! Honestly so refreshing to be around her kind of ambitious and passionate energy. I know she’s booked until forever, but if you ever get the chance (Like I did!!) do NOT PASS GO, grab that $ and take it to treat yourself with hair by Larisa because you will not regret it.

Today was my first ever time with Larisa Love. I have been following her on Instagram and snapchat for almost two years, so I was super excited to get an appointment with her. With my luck though, I ran into some car trouble (battery died on me) and that made me VERY late to my appointment. It was somewhat of a long drive and I know she is an extremely busy stylist, so when she told me to still come for my appointment late I was very thankful! I felt really bad about it but she was completely understanding and still fit me into her work day and that meant a lot. Not many stylists will still fit you in when you’re very late.
I got to the location and there was free underground parking (a nice plus for LA area) and when I found her studio I was immediately in love! It was very private and decorated so beautifully! I was immediately offered something to drink (I had coffee) and then Larisa helped me decide what color to do because I wasn’t entirely sure. We decided to go with lilac which she told me would eventually fade into a beige blonde which is perfect for what I wanted. She and her assistants both worked on my hair and her assistants were very sweet as well. I’m a shy and not so talkative type but Larisa really made me feel at home. She’s very easy to talk to.
Besides the color (which came out amazing!) she also gave me a very good haircut which I was in serious need for, some layers and cute bangs that I’ve been wanting for so long! My hair now feels so much thicker and healthier! In even better condition. She also provided me with a color care shampoo and conditioner and told me exactly how to care for my hair until I come back in a few months.
To be honest, I’m a college student that gets financial aid and works, so I understand the financial struggle we all can face. But I must have wasted more money being disappointed in other salons and never being satisfied. This is a more expensive color treatment but Larisa is absolutely worth it! She spends hours making your hair perfect it has not even been a full day and I have had so many texts and comments praising her work. I am so happy!

Idk if this update is even necessary, but I just feel so thankful for Larisa being in my life. I cheated last year around August and went to a local salon in Westminster for a hair trim, bc I didn’t want to drive all the way to Encino and bc the other salon only charges $ 25 compared to Larisa’s haircut cost which is $ 100+. I figured, it’s just a trim, what could go wrong? Ummm pretty much everything.
At my last visit with Larisa I had gotten an inverted lob with rose gold color in my hair, some of the rose gold had washed out by then, but I still had hints of color here & there. When I went to get my hair trim, I showed up for my appointment ON TIME, but the stylist who is also the owner made me wait AN HOUR past my appointment time, as she had overbooked herself, took on consultations with other clients while I just sat in the chair waiting to even be acknowledged for that hour. The receptionist washed my hair but didn’t wash the bottom portion of my scalp so I literally had wet hair & scalp only on the top half! During my appointment the stylist/​owner made excuses, but never apologized for the wait, took personal calls, then proceeded to talk shit about the person she was on the phone with to ME. 1 hour and 20 minutes later I had a hackjob of a hair CUT not the trim I asked for, all my rose gold was gone now laying on the floor beneath my feet, one side being completely longer than the other. what a nightmare. Up until this month, from August to February I was walking around with a pathetic little top bun, with every day being a bad hair day. Seriously, your hair is one of your best accessories and can make you feel awesome about yourself. and mine was bottom of the barrel crap. Eventually that started to affect my mood and desire to fix the rest of my face up which trickled down to how I dressed myself. and before you know it I was looking very close to being People of Walmart status. When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you look good.
Sometimes, I find myself, debating if I really need to spend all this money on my hair when I can probably find someone more local and cheaper. But the thing is, all the times I have gone and cheated I always regret it, bc I’m so used to walking out with top notch color, cut, and style. There are very few stylists that have the skill of Larisa’s caliber. or just even the professionalism and care for her work. She will never waste your time, she will always give you the attention you deserve and are paying for. She has coffee, wine, fiji water, tea, coconut water, chocolates. magazines, good music playing in the background. her assistant Andres washes your entire scalp with a massage that makes your eyes close & roll back!
As long as I can afford Larisa I will continue to go to her, she is the total package. I’m her prodigal customer, went to the motel 6 of hair stylists –slummed it for a few months, and came back to Larisa with my tail between my legs only to be greeted by her and her assistant with open arms.

Larisa is hands down the best stylist! I’ve followed her for awhile now on Instagram and I am so blown away by how crazy talented she is! I traveled all the way from Chicago, IL for her to have the honors of transforming my hair! Let me start off by saying her salon is impeccable! It’s so unique and personally decorated that you feel so comfortable with the time spent in her chair. She is very thorough with her consultations and makes you clearly understand realistic expectations. Her assistant Andres is so wonderful and such a pleasure AND he gives the absolute best shampoos!!!
I had super grown out roots with pastel yellow on the ends and Larisa gave me the copper I have been dying for! It is so perfect and bright and dimensional I couldn’t stop looking at myself and thanking her. I will definitely be coming back as soon as I can to have her do my hair again! Thank you a million times!!! I love my new hair! :)
Make your appt now! You won’t regret it!

Im Beyond Pleased, First Time Coming To Her Salon
And I could never be more happy with my Hair,
I love it So Much, Forsure gonna come back to see what other creation she will do. Thank you,

I am so happy I found Larisa!
I have been following her work on Instagram for the past 2 years. Each & every client is different /​gorgeous in their own way. It was only natural I wanted to be a client of hers :)
Larisa cut about 5 inches off of my locks & I must say its one of the best haircuts I’ve had. It has incredible volume & shine. I added on a conditioning treatment to my service for some extra pampering.
I love that her salon is modern /​has a special vibe to it once you enter. I LOVE that she takes photos of all of her work & is a genius with posing.
I will be a client for life.
I would recommend to any & everyone

Omg! This review is for my 1^st session with Larissa back in November 2015.
Larissa has true talent. Let me first note that I came to her with very long fine, black, «virgin» asian hair, and had done my research to find the right stylist. Thank goodness for Larissa! She had the perfect amount of patience and experience to know what to recommend for my hair type and color.
She asked for «inspiration» photos and what I wanted for my hair, and she shared her thoughts and input on what was best, and I am very glad I let her do her thing.
The result is superb! I ended up with a balayage of a dark reddish/​purple tone, and she added bounce and fullness to my hair without losing too much length!
Now, 2 months later, my hair has turned to a brownish blonde balayage/​ombré, that I continue to receive compliments on!
I can’t wait for my next session with Larissa.

I have been having my hair done by Larisa for nearly 6 months now and every time I go in I always get way more than I expected.
I love to change my hair colour and Larisa always gets me to exactly to the colours that I want or even better.
Today I went purple and I am obsessed with it!
Larisa is super welcoming and Andreas her assistant is so lovely and always offers coffee and other drinks and even to run get you food if your feeling peckish!
Her salon is beautiful, clean and feels homely.
I couldn’t recommend her enough, I wouldn’t let anyone else touch my hair now.

Larisa is absolutely phenomenal!
I waited a year and a half for my appointment, and the day finally arrived yesterday when I got to sit on her throne! Both Larisa and her assistant Andres were very sweet and accommodating!
From the moment I sat down, Larisa already knew what work needed to be done on my cut, and eventually swayed me to do a toner color as well to even out my brassy yellowish color that I had gotten from a previous ombré (not from Larisa clearly). The color came out a really nice chocolate brown, and my cut was amazing! She cut my bangs and layers perfectly. I have so much volume in my hair, it is no longer flat or boring!
My hair is so soft, healthy, and shiny! I have never seen it like this before. Larisa also recommended a lot of great products that I am surely going to pick up from her in the future!
Last but not least, Andre’s scalp massage was absolutely mesmerizing! He is a wonderful assistant and the two work hand in hand!
If you get the opportunity to make an appointment with Larisa, BOOK IT! Don’t hesitate. It might be a year or two in advance, but believe me, once you sit in her chair you will NEVER want to go anywhere else!
