Best Hair Salons In Santa Monica

“10/10! I got a same day appointment with Mina and she could not have been better. I came in with very long, thick, curly/wavy hair looking for a chop and she did a phenomenal job. Long layers and perfect length exactly as I wanted, and even gave me tips for my hair that I’m excited to try. She was also so kind and really lovely to chat with. The time flew by!

The salon is overall a great vibe, it’s very bright and nice. They even have massage chairs at the hair wash stations. I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back!“

“I highly recommend Hani to anyone who appreciates beauty and quality. I'm so happy I chose to trust him and had the opportunity to meet such an incredible artist and hairstylist.
From the moment I walked into the salon, I felt welcomed by the calm, beautiful atmosphere and the positive energy. Hani took the time to carefully listen to exactly what I wanted—a full platinum blonde highlight.
He considered my gray hair, the length of my hair, the existing highlights I already had, and my personal style. He also shared his creative professional advice, which gave me even more confidence in the process.
The results exceeded my expectations. My hair turned out absolutely gorgeous with full highlights, a beautiful butterfly haircut, a flawless blowout, and soft curls to finish the look. I honestly couldn't be happier with the final result.
Hani, thank you so much for your attention to detail, your kindness, and the genuine care you give to your clients. Your passion for your work truly shows, and you deserve all the success that comes your way. I wish you continued success and hope you keep shining at the highest level.
A big thank you as well to the entire team and management at Saulino Smith Salon for creating such a wonderful experience.
Fariba.

Donated my hair to locks of love for someone you who needs hair.“

“I had a free afternoon while visiting from out of town, and the humidity was absolutely beating my hair. I called last minute hoping to get a wash and wear my natural curls, and they squeezed me in without hesitation with Kate 🩷

From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. They paired me with Kate, who took the time to really listen to what I wanted and then made even better suggestions. I left with the most gorgeous curls, and within minutes of leaving the salon, at least five people stopped me to compliment my hair!

Then… the humidity got me again! booo 😂 I called back, and they graciously squeezed me in again to help fix it. Alanea took such great care of me the second time, and she was an absolute sweetheart.

The level of customer service here is truly exceptional. They never made me feel like an inconvenience, even though the frizz was definitely my own doing. Everyone genuinely wanted me to leave feeling confident and happy with my hair.

10/10 experience. I’ll absolutely be back every time I’m in town, and next time I’m planning ahead so I can finally book a QiQi treatment! Thank you, Kate, Alanea, and the entire team for making my hair so beautiful 💕“

“I’ve been coming here to get haircuts from Mary for almost a year now and every single time I leave so happy with my hair!!

“I love that Tina (the salon owner and my stylist) uses organic, natural, and non-toxic products at her salon. I was so nervous to try grey coverage and balayage on my untreated hair, but she did a wonderful job and always has made sure to honor my requests/needs and adjust anything (with a smile!) that I wasn't 100% happy with. Also has been happy to help me with hair product advice along the way, whether it was during our appointment or chatting over text! Thank you, Tina! :)“
