Editorial review from Citysearch 2/19/2013

When random people at work come up to you and tell you that you should ask for your money back from whomever did you hair, you know it' s bad.\r \r i went to Lesia at Nikko after reading her good yelp reviews. I was interested in getting an omre color and a haircut. i have long hair and it's one of my pride and joys and being new to LA, I really just had online reviews to go on. Lesia was very nice in person and very fun. She did a base color on the top of my head as I had grays growing out, then proceeded to highlight the bottom 2/3 of my hair to achieve an ombre effect. after rinsing out the highlights it was obvious that I had calico cat patches on one side of my head which something tells me she would have never mentioned if I hadn't said something first. She was, however, nice about redoing this section. \r \r After the color was done she proceed to give me a ""haircut"" which lasted literally 1 minute. Immediately after, she styled the bottoms into loose curls. The lighting in the salon was poor and since she had curled the bottom of my hair, I had no idea what was in store for me when I got home. I woke up the next morning with orange highlights. Not only that, but there was no graduation in the ombre color and because the highlighted portion took up so much of my hair and the top third was so dark, i essentially looked like an unkempt person who had allowed their natural hair to grow out for several months NOT someone who just spent 143 dollars to get an omre color. There was a blunt cutoff between the light and dark not a graduated color which is what ombre is. \r \r I decided to give it a few days to see if the color would ""settle"" after a few washes but when it didn't, I emailed Lesia. She emailed me back the next day asking if I would give my hair a week to recuperate which I was happy to do even though I was absolutely mortified by my hair. \r \r That was it. My last interaction with her was that email 1 month ago. She has not responded to my calls, emails and texts regarding an appointment to come in to fix my hair. Even worse, after straightening my hair a few days later, I noticed that she had given me the worst haircut I have ever had. There is a big chunk of hair missing on the right side of my head. Instead of showing off my new gorgeous locks, I have been wearing my hair in a bun since this salon visit. I have never spent so much money only to wish for the hair I had going into a salon. Lesia seemed like a nice person and that's why I wanted to give her a chance before writing this review and reporting her to the BBB, but you CANNOT butcher your client's hair, take their hard-earned money and then drop off the face of the planet. Lesia, if you are reading this, I demand my money back. I know you have my email and phone number because I have messaged you through the website several times with, big surprise, no reply. You should be ashamed. more

Best Salon I've found in LA! 12/12/2011

I went to Lesia to get a relaxer and a cut -- such a great experience! From the minute I called to set up my appointment, Lesia's customer service was amazing so I already was pleased. She's a great stylist and her salon has a nice, relaxing atmosphere. I was in and out fast with a slammin hair-do and even though it was my first time meeting Lesia, I left feeling like we were long-time friends. She also explained everything she was putting in my hair which is awesome and something I wasn't used to. I'm looking forward to going back for my next touch-up! :) Thank you, Lesia!! Candice more

AMAZING SYLIST!! 12/4/2011

Leisa is amazing. After going to several different stylist in the valley with disappointment, I found Leisa. She spent time listening to me explain the look I was searching for and gave me recommendations to help me achieve that look. My hair is now healthier, shiny and flows. Thank you Leisa. See you soon for a Brazalian Blowout. Janice more

Refreshed to have found Lesia @ Nikko! 12/1/2011

I came to Lesia after purchasing a deal for an eyebrow wax. She is such a great stylist! I honestly absolutely loved my eyebrows and am so glad I purchased 2 (maximum number) of deals that I could have used. Even after I use both, I will continue to come to Lesia. She did such a great job...my brows were very clean and groomed and had a perfect arch. They weren't too thick nor too thin, just perfect to match my face. I will also come to Lesia for hair needs now, as she is such a sweet person. I think it's important that you bond with your stylist so they can really get a sense and feel of YOUR style and what you like. This way you can combine both of your ideas...Lesia is so easy to talk to and is so kind. Loved my experience :) more

Refreshing and Beautiful!!! 12/1/2011

Let's start with the bottom line: I LOVED my cut/color/style/stylist Lesia. It was my birthday and it was the big one and I couldn't have been happier after leaving the salon. I have thick hair and I was surprised how quick she was, my hair was so soft and so straight. Lesia was very professional and skilled and had such a pleasant personality. I absolutely loved my highlights!!! I received many compliments also. My hair looked and felt great and I can't wait to go back again. more

great haircut in Sherman Oaks 11/8/2011

I recently visited Lesia for a hair cut and had a great experience. The cut was fantastic, she is lovely to talk with and works quickly. I have already made a follow up appointment for another cut and a highlight. I highly recommend her! more

Convert from the West Side! 11/2/2011

Lesia is fantastic - having moved from the West side to the Valley, I was distraught at having to find a new stylist! I wish I had found Lesia sooner - my hair has never looked better! I had been with the same stylist for years and was so afraid to try someone new that my hair was a grown out mess in desperate need of cut and highlight by the time I got my courage up! Lesia made me so comfortable and I so enjoyed spending time with her - she worked her magic and all was fabulous! I will be a long term client, can't recommend her highly enough! more

Worth travelling 1300 miles for! 10/25/2011

I live in Canada and happened to be visiting family in California when I originally went to Lesia at Nikko Hair Studio for a Brazilian Blowout. Not only did my hair look amazing after my appointment, but it was an absolute pleasure to meet and chat with Lesia. more

Best Haircut Ever 10/25/2011

I couldn't be happier with the cut, color and service I got at Nikko Hair Studio! I almost didn't redeem my 1/2 off salon services voucher from Amazon because I'd been going to the same stylist for years who was excellent and I was afraid of trying someone new. I needn't have worried. Leisa is amazing! My hair has never looked so good or been so easy to manage. So many people have asked me where I get my hair done since Leisa performed her ""magic"". I'll definitely be going back and recommend her highly. more

Great Stylist 10/20/2011

I never go to salons ever and I put my trust in Lesia and she delivered. BEST BLOWDRY/STRAIGHTEN EVER. I have naturally thick curly hair and I could never get my hair this straight. She's super friendly and I've already started recommending her. more

My faith in people is restored! 10/19/2011

Lesia was so so nice, she cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it (which is really not easy to do! I have difficult, curly hair). She's extremely experienced, she's seen and done it all, so you know you're safe in her hands. And she's one of the friendliest, most generous people to talk with. Her prices are more than reasonable, better actually than many other salons I've been to. The whole experience was really great, I'll definitely be going back! more

Great work! 10/18/2011

I had my hair cut and styled by Lesia at Nikko Hair Studio in Sherman Oaks for the first time. I got the deal through screamin coupons so i decided to give it a try. I loved it she was amazing i will for sure be going back she knows what shes doing. Also my son (4yrs.) old got his hair done as well he loved it so we both will be going back . Im so happy i found her and she so close to me. I would definitely recomend her to a friend. more

Lesia at Nikko Hair Studio 10/18/2011

Lesia was fabulous! My hair is very thick and can get frizzy and Lesia gave me an excellent haircut and blow dry. I took my lunch break to go over to her place in Sherman Oaks and was back in about an hour. Loved it! more

Thank You!!! 10/14/2011

I have been wanting ombre hair color and have been having a hard time finding a place that was recommended and affordable. I found Nikko Hair Studio on a google search and I couldn't be happier. Lesia is amazing and works quickly. I was in and out in about an hour and 20 minutes! She has great knowledge of hair color and knew exactly what I wanted without me having to explain much. So she offered me a glass of wine and from there I was in her hands. I felt very confident I was walking out of there with great hair at an affordable price!!! I will definitely be going back. more

Awesome! 10/13/2011

I found Lesia through a Livingsocial deal and decided to give her a whirl. WOW!!! She was so friendly and knowledgeable about hair, it blew my mind. My hair is that asian straight jet black kinda hair (kinda boring) and I told her about me and my hair laziness (so she would get an idea about color and cut since I haven't a clue about either) and she came up w/a cut and color combo that totally works w/me and my personality! Skilled at her craft and extremely personable: what more can you ask for in a stylist? more

Great Hari Studio 10/8/2011

Tucked away in the Sola Salon of Studio City is a fabulous hair studio Nikko Hair Studio. Lesia is effervescent and so friendly. She knows her haircolors and styles. I had so many compliments after she did my hair. You gotta see her! GO! You won't regret it! more

Leisa at Nikkio Hair Studio 10/6/2011

I love Lesia!!! I felt like I'd known her forever! She makes you feel really comfortable and works with you on the style that looks best on you! Leisa really takes the time to make sure that when you walk out of her salon, you look fabulous! Thanks Leisa and I'll see you soon!! Morgan more

I'm so happy...thanks Lesia! 10/4/2011

I can't believe I found my ""home"". I have been looking for a stylist for the last 2 years. I don't know Lesia's secret, but she has a special touch!!! My hair came out great! I can honestly say Nikko Hair Studio is the place to go if you want great highlights, great atmosphere, reasonable prices and an overall great experience. She really knows her stuff! I've finally found what I was looking for...Really!!! I'll be in soon...Thanks Lesia. more

My Hair Hearts Lesia! 10/3/2011

According to India Arie I may not be my hair, but I personally am not convinced. The rest of my life could completely fall apart, but you better believe the hair on my head is going to look right. Stylists are very personal to me, and I'm super discretionary as I can't have just anybody up in my hair, so when I say I adore Lesia at Nikko Hair Studio, trust that she's got the goods and more. First off, Nikko Hair Studio is in an awesome location. The studio is clean, warm, and welcoming - and the lady running the business, Lesia, is no different. I found Lesia this past spring when I needed someone to do a touch up on my extensions as my regular stylist was otherwise busy. Recently I decided to stop wearing extensions, and since that's pretty much all my regular stylist excels at, I decided to come back to Lesia to talk about options for straightening my hair and getting it healthy. Now, I'm a total product junkie, so when I went to Lesia for my blowout I was just hitting her up with questions and products and throwing everything I had, trying to get her thoughts on what could work on my hair. Normally I can throw a stylist off and name something that they don't know, but everything I mentioned to Lesia she had either used it personally, on her family, worked with it in the salon, etc. She blew my mind. Lesia's focus is all about healthy hair, which is exactly what I need in my life right now. If you've got a goal for your hair, she's got a workout plan to get it in shape. Her prices are reasonable for the area; yea, you could probably go to the hood and get some stuff done a little cheaper, but with Lesia it's about the whole package - the skills/experience, the knowledge, the great ambiance at Nikko Hair Studio, and the awesome conversation. I'd dare anyone to find all this at a better price anywhere else - you can't do it! more
