You Pretty Things ✂ — Local services in Los Angeles

As much as I’ve wanted to like it, I can’t shake the feeling of having been ripped off. I’ll list the positives and negatives of my experience, you be the judge. I had a set of k-tips I needed to remove, and called to know whether they offered the service and how much they would charge. The person I talk to tells me she is not sure, she is going to text me and let me know. After we hang up, while going through their website menu to see their appointment availability I find the service listed for $75. A few hours go by, I get a text that says it’s $100 an hour. I go back on the website menu and the price has been promptly changed there as well. Not a great start, I know, but this salon is the closest to where I live, and it seems to have pretty good reviews. Yeah, it’s a little odd, but in the end what difference does that $25 make, I think to myself, and I book my appointment. My stylist is very young, and really nice. She tells me my hair looks good, that I’ve been taking really good care of my extensions. I had something like 120 grams of hair. She is delicate and takes her time. But to the point that, I kid you not, it takes her 4 hours. Which I start to worry about as the chemical used to take down keratin bonds is not supposed to stay on your head for that long. Also, for a service that is priced by hour it’s obviously not the best. During the service, I get to talk with the owner, Monique. She is adorable, and gives me precious advice to keep my hair healthy. With my surprise, after my shampoo, while I walk back to my chair my stylist starts listing all the payment methods they accept. It takes me a minute to realize I am expected to walk out with damp hair and no styling. This has never happened to me before. After an hour or so, at home, my scalp starts itching, especially in the crown area, which is the area she started from. I look in the mirror and it’s burning red! All things considered, the vibe in the salon was super chill and everyone was very nice, and that’s what I added the second star for. But 4 hours to take down 120 grams of hair seems like a bit of a stretch! It is double the time it has ever taken anyone else, and it damaged my scalp. When I told my friends, they said nobody pays over $400 for extensions removal, not even in LA, and on top of it walks out...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this fantastic hair salon, and I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism.

The star of the show was undoubtedly stylist Brittany. She worked her magic on my hair, giving me a stunning blonde balayage that exceeded my expectations. What truly stood out was her meticulous attention to detail. Brittany not only achieved the perfect color but also applied multiple glosses to ensure I left with hair that was not only beautifully blonde but also incredibly healthy and shiny.

Throughout the process, Brittany's expertise and skill were evident. She listened carefully to my preferences and concerns, making me feel completely at ease. Her precision and artistry were truly remarkable, and it was clear that she was dedicated to achieving the best results for me. She kept my length but still gave me the perfect layers so my hair felt bouncy and voluminous.

The salon itself exudes a modern and inviting atmosphere, and the entire staff is friendly and accommodating. I especially love the hanging plants over the shampooing sinks. I could’ve fallen asleep there, for sure. The combination of the welcoming environment and Brittany's exceptional talent made for an unforgettable salon experience.

I left the salon feeling like a new person with a gorgeous, sun-kissed blonde balayage that perfectly complemented my skin tone. I even got it styled so I was able to go out on a date that night. 😉 Thanks to Brittany's expertise and the salon's welcoming ambiance, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking top-notch hair services. If you're looking for a stylist who can work wonders with color, especially blonde balayage, Brittany is the one to see. I can't wait for my next...
