I had a wonderful experience with Michaela. I was referred to her by a friend and took a gamble getting color from someone new. I wanted very subtle natural warm highlights and she executed them beautifully. It can be tricky adding highlights to brunette hair, but Michaela was a pro!

I have been going to Linda Cho since she was Art Luna years ago. Initially I discovered her when a friend of mine received a drop dread gorgeous haircut that everyone was complementing her on, and I decided to give her a try. I have now been going to Linda for over 20 years. I have moved out of the area since but continue to commute for cut and color because when you find true talent that is not something that is easily replaced. Most importantly, color is an art and Linda has nailed blond. Wouldn't go anywhere else for the world.

Linda and her team are fabulous. Her salon is a hidden gem in Santa Monica and when you step inside you are instantly transported to an oasis. Greeted with friendly staff and whatever latte or coffee you drink! Linda is a wonder with scissors and even more amazing with glossing, colour and highlights. Make up with Victoria was a breeze and I was so impressed by her natural beauty tricks! Michaelàs up-do skills are amazing! Couldn't be happier with my hair.
