Doves

I usually hate getting my haircut, and I've never paid more than $30 for for one in my life. However, my friend brought me into The Doves salon and ohmygod! I love love love the place! First of all, the place where they wash your hair is like a spa, and you can control the chair moving up and down so your neck won't get a crick. Genius! The employees are all SUPER nice, from the receptionist on up to the Doves themselves. I've been there twice, once for a blowdry and again just the other day for a cut. Don't be worried that they'll give you some style like other salons that only looks good for the day. They do your hair how YOU want it to be done, and they make sure you leave with a cut and style you can replicate fitting with your personal maintenance routine. Bottom line is that I love the service, I love the complimentary chocolate and cappuccinos, and I love my hair. Also, the woman who did my hair (Rachael, she's amazing) told me they do makeup classes as well, so if I go for that I'll be sure to post another review! Pros: Free and easy parking, spa-like atmosphere, employees are very nice Cons: I seriously can't think of any more

I work long hours and rarely ever have time for me and sometimes it shows. The second i stepped into the Doves salon for the first time, i felt like royalty. They are all such amazing and talented people its always a treat when I go in for my apointment. The salon is beautiful, the stylists are the best around, and the experience is one you will treasure. I LOVE my hair and I LOVE the DOVES!!! ALWAYS a treat! more

ok, i am a total skeptic. Someone once razored my hair...while it was dry. Needless to say, I was very nervous coming to the Doves, but it turned out i was in great hands. The location is gorgeous and the staff is warm and friendly-there is absolutely no celebrity culture-which, if you are an LA native, you know that tends to be typical (like that horrible show BlowOut). Everything is a la carte, which is awesome. I had my hair cut by the Doves, who are the owners and Creative Designers. I had it colored by another designer and someone else blew it out. And i have been back several times with different people, without feeling like I am cheating on my stylist, while keeping the price tag very affordable. The Doves have created an atmosphere that is very familial, which allows for a wonderful experience. And here is a novel idea, they actually listened to what I had to say and considered what I wanted while offering suggestions. I even let them cut my hair into a cute shoulder bob (long in the front, shorter in the back) although i had not had hair above my bra strap since I was 10 years old...and I absolutely love it. The cherry on top? The coffee is excellent (they make espressos, cappucinos, hot tea) and there are complementary Doves chocolates...I think I have found my hair heaven. more
