Workshop Salon — Local services in Los Angeles

I received the best haircut of m'damb life at this salon on Wednesday!  I booked an appointment with Emma and was looking for a haircut that would be gender affirming for me(non-binary amab).

I wanted a 70s style shag with a fringe.  Emma planned it out very thoughtfully and made me feel really good about it every step of the way.  Even halfway through the haircut I looked gorgeous but Emma wasn't even done yet!!

After this haircut I looked in the mirror and finally saw myself in it.  When I got home I looked at it again and got emotional. Even after an ugly cry, I still looked hot somehow lol!    I've never experienced gender euphoria like that and am still in a state of bliss.

Emma was extremely smart, and taught me stuff about hair I hadn't thought to ask.  Apparently some of my hair follicles are oval shaped, and she taught me how to work with that.  Not only did I get a life changing haircut, but also learned how to replicate the curls and stuff at home!

Took a bunch of selfies and posted them on social media and recieved roaring applause.  It was a great coming out moment for me. A bunch of people asked for hair recommendations - I told all of them Emma H at Workshop Salon on Beverly!

ALSO, they carry female owned brands! With have a great selection of natural and vegan hair products.  Also Emma is hot and dresses really well lol. 6 out...

Leslie was amazing! Super patient, friendly, and very knowledgeable & informative about hair--- and very talented!!! She gave my 14 year old a great cut and took the time to teach her how to style it (with the products and tools we already have and from her perspective/angle. She also helped us understand her hair type and best types of shampoo and BP's for washing hair (who knew I have washed hair wrong my whole life! Doh!).

This was my teenage daughter's first experience with a real salon and her first time experimenting with a hairstyle (she always had straight long hair or a shoulder length bob). I feel so fortunate that Leslie took our call that day because she not only gave an amazing haircut, she gave my girl an awesome experience! She showed my daughter first hand all the reasons I cherish a great hair salon and stylist.

I have had 3 hair stylists in L.A. since moving here in 1999 and it took a lot of bad cuts and bad experiences to find each of them! I gave up searching (for myself) after I lost my last one 4-5 years ago, but I will definitely go to Leslie for mine and the rest of my fam will too! My teenager already refers to her as "her...

How have I not posted a review yet?! I came to this spot for the first time when I moved here in 2021 and I will now ONLY let Leslie touch my hair. She is a hair WIZARD and such a delight to talk to as well. She also has some magic hands and seems to wash away stress when she washes your hair. I nearly fall asleep every time.

She is very talented, very skilled, very kind and very helpful. This past visit, I came to her after a year of experimenting with my hair on my own. My hair was a stark line between roots and an orange that was not doing me any favors. I just asked her to fix it and gave her the reigns with some inspo pics and she formulated a beauuuuutiful color.
