Stag Hair Parlor

East coast transplant and I finally found my LA hair salon! I’ve been searching forever and fell in love this morning. I’m an interior designer so I’m super picky about things like lighting and color, and this place has everyone looking amazing.
I did a partial highlight and cut with Amber and she was great. This might be the best cut I’ve ever had. She was in tune to exactly what I wanted and made some suggestions. I hate when stylists are like «well it’s your hair!» And I’m like «HELLUR You’re the professional!»
Everyone was super nice, prices are great, and I’m super happy with my cut and color. I will recommend this place to all my friends and definitely be back!

Stag has its atmosphere totally on lock. It’s chic, airy and whenever I’m there I have a pleasant time. They use great products that smell so fresh, and all the hair stylists are super stylish and friendly. However, I’ve tried really hard to like Stag, but I always end up disappointed. I really enjoy conversational hairdressers. I like to have an engaging conversation, and really make a memorable bond with my hairstylist. I have been to Stag three times, and never have I ever had any kind of lengthy conversation with the stylist. I understand wanting to focus on your work, but it makes the experience less memorable and the stylists disposable. Last time I was there the hairstylist cut some straight bangs on my hair and had neglected to cut the full set, leaving some wisps where my old bangs were growing out. This was super inconvenient and a huge oversight, seeing as now I have to deal with that every day when I do my hair. As a busy, working woman, I don’t have time to go back to the salon when I realize they’ve made a mistake. I think this might have been the third strike for me. The staff seems lovely but I’ve always ended up with a subpar overall experience.

Nanae is a terrific stylist. Professional and highly skilled. After I started coming to Stag Hair Parlor to get my hair cut by Nanae, friends, colleagues and family all started commenting on how my haircuts had gotten significantly better. I’m not big Unilocaler (this is only my second review), but I wanted to praise Nanae for her work.

I’m going to miss this place once I move back to Chicago! I absolutely love it! Everything from the customer service, to the amazing cut and color from Kayla, I really can’t complain. Seriously, Kayla is amazing with blondes and I am always complimented on my hair :) I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great service and decent pricing.

I came here last weekend for a basic haircut (medium-​length forward angled bob). Amber was my stylist, and she did a great job! There were only a couple other people in at the time, so not too crowded, and she did a quick, quality job! I would definitely come here again.

I cant say enough about how great of a job Nanae did with my hair!!! Ive been going to the same salon in LA for 7 years and wanted to find one closer and more accessible so did some research and thought id try Stag out. To begin with i am VERY particular about my color. Wanting it to look natural and wanting my stylist to be able to follow my lead as to what im thinking and wanting. Nanae did EXACTLY this… she listened and asked the tight questions so that she got my color perfect! Not only was my stylist great but everyone in there were helpful and the salon has a great energy! I couldnt recommend this place more and will for sure be going back!

recently went in for a cut. I wanted something simple and veraitile enough to wear very curly, naturally wavy, and pretty straight. Suzii gave me a blunt aline bob and it was everything i wanted. Chic, versitile and makes me look my age (which is important because i work with kids).

First time with Kayla today. Super impressed with her razor cut technique. Loving my pixie haircut. Will definitely be a regular customer.

Love, love LOVE this place! I have never walked out with a bad cut or color in 2+ years of getting my hair done here. Pixies, bobs, undercuts and bleach jobs — they’ve all been outstanding.
I like to change my hair, sometimes quite drastically, and the thing I love about Stag is that they never blink when I ask for something crazy. Also, when I wanted a sandy, sugary blonde, instead of the usual platinum, Lauren was able to create the most perfect, most amazing shade I’ve ever had.
The entire staff is fantastic, and people stop me to ask me about my hair all the time. You can’t get higher praise than that!

I used to cut my hair once a year, let it grow out, cut off a ponytail to donate, then grow it out again. Last summer, I came to Amanda to see about getting a short cut that would give me a little edge, a little style, a little bit of a «look» without being over the top and without being difficult to maintain. Her bio said she was really into precision cuts, which is what drew me to her in the first place.
AMANDA.IS.THE.BEST!!!
Since last year, I’ve continued to keep my hair shorter and styled. She was gone for an extended while (a few months), but I got to see her again last night and she got my hair back to awesomeness. She really takes the time to get the cut to lay the right way and to blend, and you can tell she’s really masterful with hairstyling. Part of the magic she conjures up is that I can ALMOST get my hair to look like what she does when I blow it dry myself :)
The salon itself is cute, clean, and friendly and the prices are definitely reasonable. I think I paid $ 55 for the cut yesterday.

This place is great. Jen cut my hair and did exactly what I asked! I have curly/​frizzy hair and cutting it short if the stylist doesn’t know how can be risky. But it came out better than I could have ever asked for! I love my new hair and might keep it at this length for a while! Everyone there (including the owner) was so nice and welcoming!

I made this Unilocal account specifically so I could write this review.
Suzii was amazing! I used to have longish hair that I was getting very bored with, and I finally got up the nerve to get a pixie cut. Suzii was really encouraging when I told her what I wanted, and made me feel very comfortable right away. She was really easy to talk to, and the conversation never felt forced.
She was very careful to make sure it was the length I wanted, and I ended up with exactly the haircut I asked for. It’s been about a month since I got the haircut, and it’s been growing out pretty well, although I might need to go back soon for a trim.
I tend to be a commitment-​phobe when it comes to hair salons, but I just had such a great experience I think I’ll have to come back. Really, I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy with a haircut. Thanks Suzii!

What can I say about Kayla except that she is a gem. She is not one of those stylists that cuts your hair too short and leaves you in self-​conscious devastation, no. She is always on top of making you feel the most comfortable and genuinely happy with your cut. I have never left an appointment with Kayla and felt disappointed with the results. I let her cut my hair from a mid-​length to a bob to something similar to a pixie cut. The trust is there.
Stag as a parlor is great. They offer you beer or water when you come in. (secretly I wish they had coke or juice but nbd) They use vegan hair products (plus for the bunny lovers!) and don’t push them on you to make a buck. (plus for the money deficient!)
Also, cuts are crazy inexpensive. So you won’t lose $$$ when trying out a new stylist.

Kayla saved my hair.
My sister dyed my hair at home, i was blonde but i needed my roots to touch up, my sister ended up doing my hair some blue some orange and some blonde. Don’t ask how because i don’t.
I went to 3 salons in LA, Hollywood and Glendale and they either didn’t wanna do it or they told me dye it black and they will charge me around 300+.
I went to this salon WALK IN, ask for a consultant and Kayla was there. She made life so easy, I felt hopeless and i was pissed but Kayla gave 4 options and she told me its not that bad I can even stay blonde but she said if you chose blonde your hair will be damaged but its an option, I choose to do a nice ombré, She removed the blue from my hair in less than 15 min and She was explaining every step like step by step, she even asked for my permission in every product she used which is AWESOME.
I ended up with a great ombré hair that matches my skin way more than blonde. And my ends still light.
160 $ for A toner + color remover+ dye my roots+ low lights and blow dry isn’t it just awesome.
Finally I found A really creative stylist who made me more than happy and will always come back .
Thank Kayla

I was able to snag a last minute appointment with Brandy. I got a cut and highlights. I really loved the natural look of the color. The cut was on dry hair and took about 15min. This technique was new to me, but I’m not complaining. Brandy was also very nice. I didn’t have to wait at all before she sat me down in the chair. The cost breakdown: cut was $ 45, highlights $ 100, toner $ 20 and $ 25 tip. I consider this a pretty good price, especially the price of cut. Overall, a 2.5 hour appointment.
When I went home, I realized that there was a small section of hair that was lighter than the rest. I called them to ask for a correction. They were very happy to schedule a same-​day appointment. Suzii was very nice and applied some toner to the section of hair and matched it to the rest. This section probably didn’t get an even coat of toner during the original appointment. This was free of charge, but I tipped $ 5. Overall, about a 15min appointment
Parking is meters only. So come early. Also, you can add tip to your credit cards. I appreciated that they gave me a price agreement before the coloring. This avoids any unexpected surprises and alarmed customers.
Overall, I really like this place. Everyone was very nice and prices are good compared to other trendy salons. Interior is pretty cute, too!

Updating my review because I went in for a remedial cut last Saturday.
Foremost, Nanae is excellent! She listened to my concerns about the old cut and quickly and effortlessly transformed it into a cute, wearable style. My bangs had been cut very short and had an uneven thickness, which Nanae gave order to while they grow out.
My hair also feels great and healthier than it has in months. I highly recommend Nanae, and am really happy I went back in. My experience was great!

Came here for a cut and color after reading all the awesome reviews about Kayla’s long-​hair-​cutting abilities. I have kept the same layered style since I had shoulder length hair, which some stylists tell me isn’t great for long hair. After reading some reviews about specifically that style, I wanted to come here.
The salon is cute and plays great music. Water and coffee (and beer!) are readily available and were offered to me as soon as I arrived.
I was coming off a strawberry blonde kick and wanted to try a more red/​copper color. Kayla nailed what I wanted, both cut and color. However, I ended up deciding I didn’t like the color on me as much as I thought I would. I liked it in certain lighting, but not all the time; I wanted to go back to a cooler light brown with a hint of red, closer to the strawberry blonde I had before.
I took advantage of their 7 day change policy (which Kayla laid out for me on my first visit) and came back a week later to Kayla again to change. I explained to her how I felt about the red. She was very patient and careful to get me exactly what I wanted, matching it perfectly to the tone of my freckles. I love it now!
I added a photo of both colors. I didn’t take a proper before/​after, but the photo shows the two results!

Thank you Jamey for an awesome haircut and wonderful customer service! This place rocks! Finally found a hairstylist that gets it. I wanted to chop off my long wavy/​curly hair into something more interesting. I explained my dilemma with my chia pet hair type, frizzy and poofy the shorter it gets, and that I am the get up and go type. She gave me the cutest cut! I finally found my gal! Thank you Jamey!

This was my first time here. I got my hair cut with Sandi who had me in and out of her chair in less than 30 minutes (awesome). It was a Sunday and I was able to schedule an appt that very day. I didn’t actually try styling my hair until the following day but I am very happy with how it turned out. I didn’t have a picture of the style I wanted but with a few minutes describing how I wear it Sandi was able to ascertain the look I was going for. The length and overall style are good and I’ll certainly be coming back. Thanks Sandi :)

I have short/​pixie hair and I just needed a trim.
I think the haircut was okay. Not bad, not amazing (errr not that I am expecting crazy-​life-​changing-​hair). But I’ve gotten trims before and for some reason I just wasn’t really impressed.
It was okay.
If I was in a tight bind I wouldn’t mind hopping over here because I live so close by otherwise it wouldn’t really be at the top of my list.
Also, and this is just a pet peeve, I hate seeing old hair/​dust in salons. I know I know, it’s inevitable. But if post-​cut hair is lining the whole side of the wall I mean, c’mon how hard is it to clean it up if other places I’ve been too keep things spic and span?
