This salon is such a great find, I have been seeing Rachel for baliage for about 6 months and I have been transformed!! She fixed my bad color job and told me what products to use for repairing my damage. I am so thrilled to have found her. This salon has a very good vibe, it is a pleasure to hangout here. Pros: nice vibe, great haircolor more

best brows in LA 2/4/2009

kokoluv Provided by Partner
thank you Alexis!!! Had my brows done and my lashes tinted, she did an amazing job, i am so happy she is working here. I love this salon and location is convenient for me. I had stopped coming here a while ago after having been canceled a couple times by Kellie and she made them too thin, never asked me what i wanted either. After that i was trekking to BH for awhile then i got a few calls, 2 from Kellie (which was wierd) and one from M Murphy letting me know i could come back. I found this salon on CS for brows and will soon try a cut too. Pros: nice atmosphere, skilled technicians Cons: valet parking would be nice more

Best Brows!!!! 1/30/2009

I love the way Alexis does my brows, she always does such agreat job. I'm pretty sure she follows the natural shape of your brows, so there really isn't any reason to request anything. I know she has worked for the best and has been voted the best, so I completely trust her judgement and would refer her to anyone! Pros: Nice comfortable salon, friendly receptionist, and WINE!!! Cons: Parking more

I've been to so many hair salons and stylists in the past few years, trying to find someone I love. And now I have. Djuna (pronounced Joona) is so great. I love my cuts and color every time. And she is just the nicest, most down to earth person. And the salon is lovely, friendly and comfortable too. Not pretentious or uptight like one you might find in Beverly Hills or other parts of LA. I highly recommend this salon and Djuna. more

BEST SALON IN LOS ANGELES 12/23/2008

swedengirl Provided by Partner
Amazing and consistent, i get my hair blown out once a week from Sydnee and she consistently does an amazing job not to mention shes so sweet. I also want to acknowledge the girls at the desk. Probably two of the nicest salon receptionists i have ever come across and I have been to every salon in BH. Its just a great experience every time i come here, FYI you can get a manicure at the same time you get your hair blown out. Love that! Pros: full service more

Great! 10/20/2008

I love this salon! I like to relax with a glass of wine on the patio and let the days troubles go by and then have rachel perform her magic on my hair. After, I finish the day with an eyebrow tint and shape. A perfect day away from the kids! If you are looking for great hair and a spa like treatment this is the place. more

fabulous salon 10/11/2008

lbinla Provided by Partner
i am a 30-something chick who grew up in LA and has been to every salon in town. I have been going to Rachel for 8 years and have followed her all over before she opened this place 2 years ago. I am very loyal to her because she has consistently made me look and feel good for 8 years i was so happy when she left BH to work in Venice cause i live in Malibu and sick of driving so far. She takes great care of her clients and her staff. She has a talented team at MM i see many different people there for many things...blowouts,brows,nails and color. I am happy to support this salon you can tell she loves doing hair and is so good at it. If my recommendation isn't enough look her up on Allure magazine or Daily Candy. You can see for yourself you can't be bad and get press like that. BTW this is a beautiful salon! Pros: great products Kerastase not anywhere else on street more

feel so good about myself 10/11/2008

nothing like getting a gorgeous head of blonde hilites to make yourself feel better after a breakup. I stumbled upon this BEAUTIFUL salon at the Abbot Kinney Street fair. I have been going to a colorist for years in Beverly Hills and decided it was time for a change. So i made an appt. w/the owner Rachel,i had heard she was great w/color. I told her i had just broken up w/my boyfriend and was so depressed, she immediately suggested going blonde instead of dark to make myself feel better. She said after a breakup is not the time to chop your hair off or go dark, you need a halo on your head she said. Well thats exactly what i have not only do I already feel better about myself, a cute guy asked me out shortly afterwards and my hair looks the best its ever looked. i am going back for a brow appt. w/Kelly this week and a haircut. I was watching Kelly do brows she was so booked and had a different client in her chair every time i looked up. They all looked so good i was jealous. I can't wait to go back. Thank you Rachel for making me look and feel so much better!!!!! Pros: great customer service, nice vibe,they use the best shampoo on you more

GREAT!!!!! 7/31/2008

after having my hair ruined, I had to find a quick solution. I decided to pick up lunch from my favorite restaurant and go home and do my own color. I peaked in M. Murphy and just got a really good feeling about the salon. I was so happy that the owner had time for me later that day. She was SO FRIENDLY and looked like she knew what she was doing. I knew that anything would be better than what I had. Rachel is a miracle worker. She definitely mastered her craft and was so HUMBLE; LOVE THAT !!!! She fixed my horrible highlights and evened out my previous uneven cut. I'm so pleased with my hair. Nice to know that you can still get really good hair without all the attitude and snobby hairstylists. I've sent a couple of my girlfriends to her and they all look gorgeous. The salon is really unique with a very friendly staff. It's nice to see that people who work together actually enjoy each other's company. This was a delight . Pros: Everything!!!!! Cons: Parking... but where isn't thar a problem in L.A more

I'm a fan... 7/16/2008

I've been a client of owner Rachel Lindy for years. I followed her from BH to Venice and I live in SIlver Lake. She is worth the trip. I love that she has her own place now because it reflects her: warm, gracious with excellent service. Who says you have do deal with attitude to look great? Or a salon that feels like a factory-overbooked and over hyped? M. Murphy is like taking a little trip to a spa. It's relaxing and you always leave looking great. I recommend them to everyone especially those who stop me and ask "Who does your hair?" and "Who does your brows?". Who doesn't love that? These ladies are the best! Pros: talent, atmosphere, attitude Cons: parking can be an issue, but usually there is something with in the block more

lived up to the hype!! 7/9/2008

citygrl2010 Provided by Partner
I was referred to Rachel for color by a facialist in West Hollywood that doesn't even go to her. She is known as the colorist who does the girls from Allure. So I had to try her especially since I live closer to Venice than West Hollywood. She did exactly what I asked for and more. I am very happy. I have never had baliage before and loved it. Now I am a huge fan, she says it will get better every time we do it. I have a beautiful blonde color!! more

NOT SO AMAZING :( 7/8/2008

This place is a joke! All the reviews I just read sound like they were written by the staff of this tragic salon. Rachel THINKS she's God's gift! When in reality she is not as talented as the "reviewers" say she is. She did my hair and it was by far the worst color I have EVER received. It was blotchy and completely not what I asked for. I asked her to fix my horrible color and by the time she was done I couldn't see that it was any better. I would not recommend her to my worst enemy! more

Great eyebrows make for a happy woman 7/7/2008

prettywoman423 Provided by Partner
I am 32 and had been going to the same person for my eyebrows for 10 years. Unfortunately she moved out of the state 3 months ago and I was left with no one. A close friend of mine told me that she wouldn't be able to get by without her regular session every 2 weeks with Kelley. Sounded like a perfect fit so I gave her a try. Not only was my friend 100% right but I never expected all the compliments I received after my first visit! I now too go religiously every 2 weeks :) Kelley is fabulous and I would recommend her to anyone. more

Best hairstylist on the Westside 7/2/2008

Mizac Provided by Partner
Hi, Since moving here from New York I have been through several hairstylists who I have not been happy with. I was beginning to think that there wasn't any good hairstylists in the Los Angeles area. Then one day when I was cruising City Search I came across this salon, M. Murphy. I am very particular about my hair, and I am willing to spend a lot of money for a good haircut. I booked an appointment with Sydnee. I found Sydnee to be very humble, and just adorable. She spent a lot of time talking to me about my hair and what it is I wanted. I was very clear that I didn't want my hair cut off. I just wanted some layers and something simple and easy to style. I was impressed with her technique. She transformed my hair from one length to luxurious layers and shaped my hair to my face taking out all the bulky pieces that drive me crazy. She put a flat iron through my hair and made beautiful waves. Loved it!!! Sydnee is an incredibly talented artist and gave me the best haircut I've ever had. Been back twice since. Pros: Sydnee Cons: parking more
