Hush

***Hush Salon has moved down the street to 1100 Manhattan Ave. and is on the second floor. The phone number is (310) 798-4874. You can find the same wonderful stylists at the new location! Pros: Relaxing atmosphere with ocean view and outdoor seating more

Melissa D is the best! She stayed late to fix my hair after another salon had done an awful color job, and I have been going to her ever since! She is professional, listens, and has never disappointed. I always get compliments on my color/cut after going to see her. Thank you Melissa! more

I'm a recent East Coast transplant and, as pathetic as it sounds, one of the hardest things about moving is finding a new hair stylist! So with my gray roots showing and my ends all scraggly I decided I couldn't wait any longer and, upon the enthusiastic recommendation of a friend, made an appt. with Sid of HUSH, HUSH HUSH and HUSH UP. Truly, he must be the best kept secret in MB! I just convinced my husband to give him a try and he's thrilled as well. My daughter drove up from OC to see what all the fuss was about, and now she's a fan too. Sid just relocated from San Francisco, where he managed and styled in a very high end salon, He's been in the business for 16+ years, is Vidal Sassoon trained and teaches and does shows for them when he can all around the country.. His cuts are fresh and on par with any you would find in BH and his color skills are amazing! He listens to what YOU want and at the same time offers sincere, helpful suggestions to complement what you are looking for without making you feel like he is just trying to "up sell" you more treatments/products! Be patient if you call to make an appt. and the receptionist tells you "his book is at the other salon" b/c he splits his time between all 3 HUSH salons and his book travels with him. I promise, you are in great luck with Sid's hands in your hair! Pros: He's an expert at both CUTS & COLOR! Cons: None more

I can't say enough good things about Melissa D at MB Hush. I have been a strong, consistent customer of a hip Beverly Hills salon for the past 7 years and decided to find someone more convenient. Now, I am a normal woman with minimal demands, but can I tell you? She listens, She treats me like a star, gives me the best cut and style ever, and truly cares about her art. She is the best. I can't say enough good things. Pros: Melissa D more

To get the straight hair you always wanted...see Melissa D at hush...you'll love her and your hair! :) Pros: Great Stylist...friendly...great at what she does...

I have been to both Hush and Hush Hush and I couldn't give these salons a higher recommendation! The stylists are the best of the business and they really listen to their customer's wishes. The cuts are always impeccably done and their colorists are INCREDIBLE. In terms of price, they are on par with other salons in LA- but the personal detail and attention given to each customer makes it money well spent. I go to stylist MELISSA D.- who is at Hush. She is amazing!! I will never trust my hair and color to anyone else ever again! I cannot recommend her enough! :) Pros: amazing cuts and color specialists... the best of the best Cons: parking, maybe more

I live in Sydney Australia but whenever I come to LA I always get my hair done at Hush Salon at Manhattan Beach. I have been going to this salon since it opened in 2001. I have always found the service to be great, the girls friendly and my hair cut and colour fantastic. I find some of the reviews here very scathing and more like personal attacks than a review of a professional service. I think if you go somewhere with an attitude then you are never going to like what they do or say. Ric the owner is a terrific guy and an extremely talented professional, and Kelly K. has always proved to be professional , friendly ,and above all, she knows what she is doing, and she does it well. I will always make the effort to go to Hush at Manhattan Beach when I am in LA. Pros: The experience Cons: Parking meters more

There is a saying.... a picture worth?s thousand words.... Even with me showing few images of the shades of color, it came out not even close to what has been requested and presented. I saw a very apologetic look in the eyes, paid the top price, walked out and headed directly to the target's shelf where found my perfect color for $24.99. Sick of paying top dollar to inexperienced hairdressers. When I spend more than 15 minutes on explaining what I try to accomplish, I don?t expect to get highlights like everyone else. If I pay for a custom work, I should be receiving one. Find a better place for the top buck you are paying! Pros: None Cons: Service, Skill more

WOW!!! This place is beyond incredible!!! Its part Beauty Salon part Spa! I just had the most amazing facial with the owner Deanna. She was ... more

I have been going to Hush hair salon since it's opening. Both the owner and his staff are very professional and have provided a hip, updated look to myself a over 40 something gal. Having been in the fashion industry for a number of years and needing to have a certain edge to my look, I can say that I have often been asked who does my hair color and cut. I highly recommend this salon. suzanne Pros: Great color and cut and fair prices. more

SO AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS FROM DIFFERENT STYLISTS... FINALLY SOMEONE HAS ACCOMPLISHED WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AFTER A LENGTHY THREE YEAR PROCESS! JOSH IS AN AMAZING STYLIST WHO HAS NOT ONLY PERFECTED THE CUTTING EDGE HAIR CUT BUT COLOR AS WELL! I WENT THREE YEARS WITH THE SAME HAIR STYLE BECAUSE I COULD NEVER GET ANYONE TO PERFECT WHAT I WAS TRYING TO HAVE DONE WITH MY HAIR... BUT JOSH MASTERED IT WITH ONE ATTEMPT! YOU GUYS HAVE TO CHECK THIS GUY OUT... YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED... Pros: THEY CATER TO YOUR NEEDS... ORDERING YOU LUNCH... PROVIDING BEVERAGES... NOT LIKE ANY OTHER SALON OUT THERE! more

After searching Los Angeles for over 2 years for a stylist I found Harmony at Hush Hush Salon in Manhattan Beach and I will never go anywhere else. Her amazing capabilities and cheerful demeanor keep me coming back. I trust everything she does with my hair and leave feeling incredible every single time. The salon is very clean, the staff is professional and the prices are extremely reasonable. I am so happy that I found Harmony and Hush Hush Salon! Pros: Service, Cleanliness, Location Cons: Harmony books up quickly, so call in advance! more

The salon is hip and Ric is fantastic for color and cut. Hush Hush has everything you would expect from a well known Beverly Hills salon, minus the attitude and commute. My hair has never looked this good - Ric is very talented, and his staff is friendly. Overall - highly recommended! more

I went in for a color job and it was faded after just 2 weeks. I had to go to another place to get it fixed. The stylist I had did have a bit of an attitude too. Pros: Location Cons: Coloring service more

I am not sure which salon the previous customers visited, but from my personal experience in visiting the Hush Hush salon, I have had nothing but a great experience every time I have gone there in the last year. I even made appointments for my bridal party to have their hair done for my wedding and Harmony did a beautiful job. Harmony does an fabulous job with updo's and she also recommended a make up artist for me to hire that would come to the salon while I was getting my hair done. Karen is my usual stylist and she also does a wonderful job. She asks what the customer wants and is very professional at all times. I have recommended these two ladies to other friends and they have come back with great comments about them. more

After moving here from NorCal last year, I was desperate to find a great salon. I came to Citysearch and read reviews and decided to give Hush a try. Best decision I made! Lorraine is great, giving a great haircut and correcting the color/highlighting I had been getting. My hair has never been better. I don't know who all the blonde teenyboppers are who are cutting hair there, since I don't see them on Saturdays. The women I see cutting/highlighting/coloring hair on Saturdays are all very professional. Sure there is gossip, but that is part of the fun! Pros: Very courteous and friendly staff; Relaxed atmosphere Cons: Amex not accepted; Parking more

This hair salon looks modern and trendy, but the focus in the end is on it's stylists being pretty. They are all gossipy and giggly. Now that I'm at the point in my life where I can afford to treat myself to a nice cut , I'd like to do so without feeling like I'm getting my hair cut in a high school. First off, I waited 20 minutes past my appointment time for the shampoo to begin. She didn't even acknowledge that anything was wrong. I had to cancel my spa appointment which was down the street because my colorist took forever to do her work. I left a two hour window but it was still not enough. She was rude about that and not only did she not apologize, but she then continued to make rude comments to her co-workers. Four hours later, I had a nice cut and color but it was not worth it. It took so long and the girls there are so rude. Needless to say, I did not tip and I do not plan on going back anytime soon. There are salons with both quality and good service out there--keep looking and don't waste your time on this one. Pros: Decent cut and color. Cons: Snobbiness, not on time, slow stylists. more

I hadn't heard about this website, so when I was telling my sister what a great new place I found, she said I should review it... well, here goes. I was referred to Hush Hair Salon by a long time friend who's been to several high-end salons around the south bay; specifically Manhattan Beach.. She's been going to Hush for over a year now consistently and couldn't say enough GOOD things about it.. When I first called to make an appointment, the receptionest said that there was a cancellation for the next morning and asked if that would fit my schedule.. Yes, I said.. so, the next morning, when I walked in, I was pleased with the atmosphere and pleasantness of the salon. There was one gal that was going to Jamba Juice for the stylists, and asked me if I wanted something!! Now that's an un-expected added benefit... she also asked the other customer that was early and waiting for her stylist, so I don't think it was just for my benefit.. I don't think you'd find such friendliness at most Manhattan Beach salons.. The overall experience was perfect.. I asked about products, but wasn't pressured to buy, I asked about the ease of the cut and color once I left the salon and the stylist generously went over in detail just how to use the hair dryer for the same look that she gave me.. I would highly recommend this salon, at any time, to anyone.. I'll be back.. more

I had a bad experience at Hush a few months ago but wasn't going to bother with a review until I came across the previous two duelling reviews: whimsicalif's less-than-glowing review and chrislaws82's attempt to defend Kelly K's honor with a point-by-point rebuttal of whimsicalif's critique. Like whimsicalif, I also had Kelly K, who had been recommended to me by the woman who booked my appointment. (guess the fact that she was available at the last minute should've been my first clue) Kelly K wasn't particularly friendly, but I was willing to let her lack of warmth pass as long as I got a good cut. My hair is long and straight and all I wanted was a trim with the ends beveled so that they curve under slightly when air-dried (a simple cut that's never been a problem before). After Kelly K had blown dry my hair it looked just fine but after washing my hair the next morning I was dismayed to see that instead of gently curving under like it used to, my hair was now all wonky, flipping out in several directions. A flip hairstyle may have looked good on Marlo Thomas in "That Girl" (back in the sixties!) but it was definitely not the look I was going for. I called Hush and the receptionist told me Kelly K would fix it if I came back in but I decided to play it safe and get my hair re-trimmed at a different salon. My overall impression of the stylists was that they were a bunch of inexperienced teenyboppers (tm cvmilla) flitting around in skimpy outfits doing their own hair and make-up and giggling about boys. I'm all for a good gossip session and ogling of beautiful men but not when it comes at the expense of professionalism and the ability to do one's job competently. Ironically, Kelly K was older than the other stylists so I would have assumed that she's more experienced than the teenybopper set but my flip hairstyle would indicate otherwise. If you're looking for a bad cut, high prices and a bunch of giggly trainees, Hush is the place for you. Pros: None Cons: Inexperienced stylists = bad haircuts more

Fortunately my experience at Hush salon was like nothing I've ever experienced...from the moment I stepped into the salon I felt a sense of warmth and belonging! Everyone that I interacted with was very professional, from the receptionist to my stylist - Kelly K! The conversation was never-ending, my hair was done in a timely manner and I am VERY satisfied with the end result. I will definitely be coming back and will recommend Kelly to all of my friends and associates! Pros: Warm, inviting and friendly atmosphere more
