Westside Hair Studio

I came to do my hair with Eddie. He did a great job with the color, cut and blow dry. A very natural look. The process was very long, but its okay he had to take his time. Hes very passionate about his job and really cares for his customers.

This place made my day. The lady took time and paid great attention to detail. The shampoo was a nice touch and the cut was better than I expected! Will be back

Do not go to this hair salon. i have tried it several times. It is a revolving door for stylists so if you find someone decent, they aren’t likely to be there the next time you go. None of them speak English fluently so if you give specific instructions, they won’t be understood, but the stylist will pretend they did understand. I have seen at least 4 stylist there. None of them have been consistent. You’ll get a great haircut and next time the same person cuts it, it is lopsided and frizzy. Most recently, I asked for a trim. I showed the stylist that I only wanted a third of an inch cut off. He cut off a snip and asked if that was what I wanted. I said yes. He proceeded to cut off 3 inches. I am in my late 40’s and never cried after a haircut until now. I wanted my hair simply trimmed so it would look nice for a very special occasion next week but I got a completely different cut that is ‘a masculine’ short above the ears cut and not the feminine look that hit around the chin that I wanted.
Do not go there!!! The other obnoxious thing is that the manager told me I would be happy when it grew in a couple of weeks. He cut off three inches!!!

Bad, really bad
First I tried to explain what I want and feels like she doesn’t no any men haircuts. So I went forward and was getting mad while she was doing dont know what (
Also i realized they cut only old people who doesn’t care about thier hair
I don’t think this «westside studio» should be in this area it all.
They should move somewhere out off there
So not recommended

I went here not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised!
I called in advance to see when I could come in, anticipating they’d be super busy (it was a Sunday). Luckily, they told me I could come in right away, so I did.
The female stylist washed my hair, was really competent when trying to figure out just what kind of cut I wanted, and she also blow dried it at the end!
I’m really happy with my haircut, it looks and feels much healthier than it did prior to, and I only paid $ 35 which is a pretty good deal.
BEST PART: She gave me a five dollar coupon towards my next visit & I will definitely be coming back

Eddie is the King. A true artist. He took my Pinterest collection of inspiration color & turned it into a reality. He been cutting my hair for the past few months now & colored me for the 2^nd time as well. Took me from dark brown to the image shown, flawlessly. I would highly recommend,

I went in two days ago, excited for a hair cut. It had been so long! I called in the morning and made an appointment.
I parked right in front. Eddie had just sat down a guy, he then realized I had an appointment and kicked the kid out of the chair, super rude!
Long story short: Eddie butchered my hair. We had agreed on no more than 2 inches off and now my hair rests above my shoulders. It did a weird flippy thing and wasn’t even and I cried for hours… hours. He rushed through the entire thing, kept chopping, chooping. It was tramatizing. He can’t even blow dry– I might even have whiplash from that blow dry. This is not worth $ 40 – 50 haircut!!! He cut all my hair off in less than 30 mins against my wishes. It was so aweful. I could have got a better haircut at super cuts– they may have taken their time!
I went back into the salon today in order to get my money back. The owner/​manager was very sweat about it. She gave me a gift certificate (as if!), a hug, and a refund. However, their regret does not change the fact that this was the worest hair cut I have ever gotten. Eddie is a 1 star hairdresser– at least for females.
I went to another salon today, so they could fix the terrible haircut I got here. The other salon did an amazing job! Check out Danielle at This Or Die. Bit of a drive, but worth it and similar prices for someone who takes there time and has the skill level to match it!
Do not go to this Salon unless you are a boy who doesn’t care about how your hair looks. Maybe the other stylists are better… I wouldn’t know. They didn’t chop my hair off, Eddie did.

I need my hair colored because I tried to save money and do it on my own and failed miserably. So I walked in and Eddie assisted me he said he was new, but I love me a male hairdressers. OMG 3 hours later he fixed my hair and gave me the most natural looking blond I have ever had. I call it blond butter… he called it amazing. An affordable colorist is as hard to find as a rent control apartment. I should also mention that he gives a killer blowout… that sounds funny… lol.

Decided to try it out after having passed by many times. There is that SK Donuts in the same strip mall. Did not know it was a korean place! I love korean hair salons because they understand Asian hair. Unsure if I needed one, I made an appointment on my way there, and when I got there I was told they do walk-​ins too. There was another non-​asian lady who was getting her hair finished up and she sounded very pleased. I was helped by Miss Sunny and Mr. Kevin, both experienced hairdressers. Mr. Kevin is recently from korea and he showed me his Salon Resume while I was getting prepped to ensure me I was in good hands. (Also fyi: I read the other reviews to ask for Jin, and asked but he is no longer there.) Since it was winter time/​a little chilly, they brought over a professional space heater for me while I was waiting in the seat.
Having wanted a layered cut, I brought in some photos (As you know, always a must), but was reassured that that was a «typical» asian cut so told not to worry. Mr. Kevin was SO FAST that I couldnt believe it was done already! I asked for a minor alteration when we did our final look and he was more than happy to accommodate.
I was treated so kindly and love my haircut. a great salon for Mid-​City area. It’s not fancy-​pants like Floyd’s but definitely NOT a grungy hole-​in-​the-​wall — good size (4 chairs I think) and professional interior. I will be back to get my hair colored.
I also recommended it to my boyfriend and he was so pleased with the results, men cuts for $ 15 I think.

Needed a quick haircut that wouldn’t break the bank. Called and Kevin answered saying he was free and to come on in. Walked right in, paid $ 15 (not including tip) was done in probably 10 mins and it was one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. I will be back for sure. They take cards

kevin knows what he is doing. i did a perm with him before. he uses pretty good perm lotion so your scalp wouldnt feel very irritated. and as im typing im getting another perm right now. so come try it out. hes pretty good.

I live just down the street and have been coming here for the last 2 years. The staff is so nice and once your a regular the owner will treat you like family. She is a very nice and so accommodating.
I just come for a simple guy haircut but they have more services that friends of mine have used and they said they were really good.
I will continue to make this my go to spot for haircuts and I highly recommend them!

Westside Hair Studio: Reasons to go.
1) Easy location and dedicated parking.
2) The pricing scales were very reasonable. Much less than most of the salons I looked at in Miracle Mile.
3) I have been able to get last-​minute appointments (the day of, actually) every time I’ve gone there.
4) They give you complementary scalp and hand massages and Great Red Wine!
5) My stylist, she was edgy and hip but seemed unpretentious and genuine. She did exactly what I wanted her to do, no more, no less.
6) My hair looked awesome when I left.
I have been going to Westside Hair Studio since I moved here almost 1 year ago. Never in my life, have I loved a salon as much as I do Westside Hair Studio. I and my wife both are regulars there now. Check this place out!

Not everyone has the same reaction to a bad haircut. For some people, hair is a very emotional thing. A friend visiting from Houston walked into this salon for a wash, cut, and set. She ranted and raved with regard to a great job the stylist there did for her. As a loyal client to a San Diego salon, I travel there once a month for haircut and eyebrow wax but thought I would give this establishment a try since it’s just a walk down the street as opposed to driving 132 miles one-​way. Although it was difficult to keep my head on straight when I felt like my hair looked horrible, it was important that I kept my cool through a disappointing haircut. Not only did the stylist make my hair look like a football helmet, he clipped my signature sideburns completely off. He mentioned he did it because they were «not balanced». Playing the blame game doesn’t solve anything, nor does worrying too much about his feelings. It’s not personal, it’s just hair – and he has probably been through this type of situation many times before. It’s better that I «cut» my losses and move on but what irritated me most was that once he clipped my sideburns, he didn’t apologize. After the damage was done, I politely said that this was not quite what I thought it would be and I’m almost certain my $ 5.00 tip reflected the provided service…

Best Haircut in Los Angeles I started going to Jin about a year ago and nobody has touched my hair since. Jin is great guy personally and a master at making men’s hair look great! I recommend him to everyone I know.

I live right down the street on Cochran and thought i’d give this place a shot. I dont like to do anything fancy with my hair– I keep it pretty simple. It’s a full service studio but they also do simple guys haircuts for 20bucks. FYI– If you use a credit card they do charge one dollar as a «service charge.»
Everybody is nice in there. There is somewhat of a language barrier as all of the stylists are Korean. On my first visit with the stylist there was no problem but on my second trip it was a bit difficult to explain what I wanted. It did come out a little shorter than I requested, but no big deal.
I will surely go back! In the future though I will be requesting Jin as my stylist every time!

A couple gals I knew raved about this place and in particular — about Jin — and at first I was a little apprehensive because I’ve never had a guy cut my hair before… But I decided to take a chance because I’ve been to Hair Do (with Eunice), Kim Sun Young (stay away from them!!!), The Hills, and other places in K-​town, but was never fully satisfied. So I called and booked an appointment and Jin was really sweet from the moment I talked to him on the phone and when I entered the salon door.
The salon has a pretty simple setup — nothing fancy, but it was clean enough. Immediately Jin and the other lady that worked there offered me something to drink and then got straight to work. Even though I had already showered, Jin insisted on washing my hair and since I secretly love shampoo massages, I let him do his thang.
I brought a picture of Carrie Underwood (yes, I’m Korean but I love her hairstyles!) and Jin studied it some and then I have to say, he really did my hair exactly like the picture. haha He also gave me pointers on how to style my hair that way too.
The other thing that I really appreciate about Jin too — he took his time. Most Korean places will cut your hair in about 30 min and boot you out ASAP, but Jin was really meticulous and took a full hour (including the shampoo) and checked lengths and kept trimming to the very end even with another girl waiting. (Also he is probably more comfortable speaking in Korean, but he speaks English too.)
I was really happy with my experience and have already recommended 4 other girl friends to go to him and they liked their cuts as well! I loved the way my hair turned out and I got a lot of compliments too on my layers. :)
so yes… ASK FOR JIN!!!

Great hear cut place! Friendly staff. Clean. Easy parking. $ 15 for a cut and wash. Great deal
