I had an amazing experience at this salon! My hair was in a terrible state when I arrived — tangled and unmanageable. I had tried to fix it myself but nothing worked. Irene was incredibly patient, gentle, and focused — she truly put all her energy into helping me, and it worked!

Now my hair feels soft, smooth, and manageable again — she really put in so much effort, and it shows.

On top of that, she’s so easy to talk to — warm, good sense of humor, and clearly experienced. She’s been running this salon for 17 years! I noticed that every client walking in had a great connection with her — you can tell she genuinely cares.

Highly recommend...read full review

Irene was absolutely fantastic! Not only did my husband's and my hair come out looking amazing, Irene was incredibly nice, friendly, and patient. We had no idea what we wanted to get done and she really took the time to go over all the options that would look nice and helped us decide. She also demonstrated different ways to style the cuts depending on what we wanted them to look like.

This was definitely the best hair appointment we've ever had!

In my opinion, this is by far the best hair salon in downtown Santa Monica. I have curly hair and my haircuts and colour used to be inconsistent before Jade. It was frustrating when hairstylists tried to apply their own ideas on my hair, without considering mine. Irene, as well as Yelena, listen to what the customer wants and proceed carefully, while explaining the process and asking questions. They both make very constructive suggestions and respect my wishes. This way, my desired outcome is guaranteed every time.
