Best

When I am in LA, this where I go to get the type of quality that I am accustomed to, if I am in NYC the I use Salon AKS, but here on the west coast the salon has a wonderful vibe...

Worst

Ok so a few months ago I wanted to treat myself to a color and cut from a ""celebrity stylist"". Let me just say that if you find someone on City Search be certain to do your hom...

Simply amazing! 4/27/2007

Just wanted to correct my previous review. I clicked ""done"" without checking the ""rate it"" meter. Sorry if it shows twice :) more

best hair cut 4/5/2007

I first read about Alyson Powell on city search, and with all of the excellent reviews I decided to go in for a trim to see if I would like her style. I went in numerous pictures and she did exactly what I wanted. I could tell she had a good grasp on how to correctly cut hair and I even felt comfortable to try bangs (a risky move for anyone new) after I could tell she knew what she was doing...it is safe to say you're in good hands and you will not be disappointed. more

Attentive, detailed, wonderful blonde highlights & great cut! 4/2/2007

I came to Alyson because I was frustrated with my hair due to a recent bad haircut and bad highlighting experience. My fine, thin, long, naturally blonde hair was looking scraggly, dull, and flat. Alyson examined my hair and spoke with me for an hour before starting to work on my hair. It was so refreshing to have a stylist take the time to do this. She did beautiful highlights on me and I love them. My hair looks shiny and healthy and my 2 of my friends commented how natural they looked. Alyson also gave me a great cut. She put in a lot of layers that have given my hair a lot of body and makes it look and feel thicker. She also gave me some great styling tips that I've used and really work for my hair. Alyson is very sweet and talented and I will definitely go back. The salon is very nice. There's metered parking and parking in the back and it's down the street from where I live. I have no complaints! more

Excellent eye, wonderful sense of tone, color quality, & cut 4/1/2007

I went in cold, only going off the CitySearch reviews, and I can honestly state that Alyson has an impeccable eye for color. My hair wasn't a tragedy that needed repair (although I understand that she is THE go-to gal for corrections); it just wasn't quite right and I felt like I had spent too much $ in the past to be unhappy with my hair. I walked in with shoulder length hair and high-lights that were last done 3 months ago. I walked out with shiny, healthier, thicker-looking hair. I had stressed that I didn't want to lose length, and I wanted color closer to my own natural shade. I am thrilled with my haircolor now, and Alyson gave my a wonderfully flattering haircut without sacrificing much in length. (Who knew I had cheekbones?) She spent quite a bit of time talking to me (both on the phone and in person) and gave a candid, and accurate, assessment of what my former hair style & color did and did not do for me. I knew when she was blowdrying it out that the color was right on the money. I wanted to give the cut a couple of days (and my own attempts at blowdrying & styling) before I chimed in on CitySearch: this is the best haircut & color I have had. more

Hair so good, it's almost spiritual! 3/30/2007

I came to Alyson after YEARS of hair abuse from some of the best and most expensive salons in New York City. My hair was orange and had been left longer and damaged in the front and short in back; a terrible ""A"" cut. Firstly, Alyson really really listens. She completely takes her time. She will not do anything until she has gone over it in detail with you. She actually sent me home the first day, because there was not time to do the kind of extensive color correction she had in mind. She gave me a brilliant cut, instead. The kind of cut where I can leave the gym with my hair wet and it will still look great. more

Someone you can really trust with your hair. 3/19/2007

She was amazing. Pros: Highly skilled hair stylist Cons: Expensive - but worth every penny. more

Extremely Talented & Sweet 3/2/2007

I love Alyson. I have unmanageable, somewhat thick wavy hair and lots of it! The problem I have with every haircut is that it grows out into a lion's mane and I thought with my hair, it was inevitable. To maintain it, I normally had to have it cut every other month (and constantly lose my length). I finally had it cut by Alyson and she's a lifesaver. So she's worth every penny since I've only had it cut twice within a year and there were absolutely no problems in between. I'm amazed how she can cut my hair to be easily manageable. The second time I went, I forgot to bring in a pic of a creative cut I wanted. So I tried to explain it and she took her time analyzing my rambling and gave me the best haircut i've ever had. Normally funky (but she made it classy) haircuts grow out very awkwardly for me. It's been 3 months now and I still get compliments for it. I recommend her to everyone not matter what type of hair you have. She can do it all! Pros: Patient, Caring, Precise, and most importantly the best haircut ever. Cons: Busy and somewhat pricey but completely worth every penny. more

Amazing cut, great conversation and styling direction! very honest! 2/24/2007

I recently got a cut from Alyson for the first time... I was cutting off about 12-13 inches of hair and I was worried, but based on prior reviews I checked her out.... I'm so glad!! Pros: great cut, great stying advise, great overall experience Cons: slightly pricey and she's busy... but totally worth it! more

Hands down, best haircut ever. 8/12/2006

Read below - my experience was the same. She took her time; she was careful, accurate, friendly, and gracious. Better yet, my hair looks fantastic. Alyson is an artist! more

Best haircut of my life! 7/22/2006

Alyson is fantastic. She spent an hour discussing my hair with me, examining its texture, and asking about my lifestyle to determine the best cut. This is literally the best haircut I have ever had - Alyson gave me exactly what I wanted, but it is totally different from what has been done in the past. more

A Cut Above the Rest... 6/30/2006

I have been living in Los Angeles now for 5 1/2 years. And I have not let anyone cut my hair. Fear mostly that someone would butcher it up. But finally I got the courage and sought out a hair stylist and found Alyson Powell. She called me and made me feel comfortable and asked questions about my hair and the things that I wanted out of her. I made an appointment for the end of the week and it was great. Alyson listened and really took the time to hear what I was saying. I have very curly hair and it is not easy for me to style. But Alyson found a great, easy look for me. With low maintenance. I tell you go check her out. She's a doll Pros: The Parlour was really pretty and hip. Without feeling too stiff. Cons: The owner seemed highfalutin. more

Alyson is wonderful! 4/22/2006

I just went to get my hair cut with Alyson. I called her on Friday, she called me later that evening and I was able to get an appt. at 10am the following day! She is super down-to-earth and very sincere. She spent a long time assessing my hair and correcting what other stylists have done...2 1/2 hours, in fact. The time flew by because we were chatting the whole time. I love my haircut. It is soft, healthy-looking and feeling, and has more body now. I may return for highlights, as I'm confident she'll do a fabulous job. I would highly recommend Alyson because she really enjoys what she does, is very talented, and she makes you feel as if you're just hanging out with a girlfriend. Pros: skillful, parking in back, first-visit coupon more

Color Master 4/12/2006

Alyson has been doing my hair for over 10 years. She is awesome. I once tried someone else, they burnt my hair and it fell out. I will never go to anyone else again. She cuts and highlights my hair. She does an excellent job. I love her work. I would highly recommend her. Pros: Coloring, Listens, Friendly more

ALYSON POWELL 4/5/2006

My roommate found Alyson's profile as we were looking for a stylist who specializes in curly hair and could be trusted to do a major overhaul. I was planning to cut 10 inches off(donated) and wanted a new look with the shoulder length hair I'd have left. Pros: Excellent Listener!!, Highly Intuitive!!, Amazingly SKilled!! Cons: limited free parking more

User review by xania2 3/30/2006

Alyson has cut my hair twice, both cuts fit me very well. She knew exactly how to cut my hair just right so it looks good curly or straightened. She takes the time to do a great job. She's definately a very experienced stylist who listened to what I wanted and made it better. Pros: Professional, Friendly, Experienced more

Wow!! 3/23/2006

I am so happy I found Alyson Powell!! I went to Alyson with reddish highlights that were supposed to be blonde. I was so scared, had really bad hair experiences, and she assured me she could fix the color. She did just that, and gave me an amazing cut too. My highlights look awesome and having curly hair she wow'd me with a great cut!! Alyson is truly amazing!!! Pros: PROFESSIONAL, PERSONABLE, FLEXIBLE more

Best Haircut! 3/13/2006

Alyson gave me the best haircut I've ever had. I have curly hair that is really difficult to cut and she was able to find a style, shape, and sexiness that no other hairdresser has been able to give me. I have lived in New York and Paris and gone to many of 'the top salons' in those cities and paid exorbitant prices for people specializing in curly hair. Alyson's ability far surpassed what I experienced anywhere else. I'm sending all of my friends to her. Pros: comprehensive, highly skilled, caring more

TRULY AMAZING!!! 2/22/2006

I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAD REALLY, REALLY BAD HAIR EXPERIENCES!! MY BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS WERE NOW RED/ORANGE AND I WAS HORRIFIED. I HAD A CONSULTATION WITH ALYSON AFTER FINDING HER ON CITY SEARCH. SHE CALMED ME DOWN, AND EXPLAINED HOW SHE WOULD BRING BACK MY BLONDE AGAIN. SHE BLEW ME AWAY WITH A CUT AND COLOR, AND I'M SO LUCKY I FOUND HER!! IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AN AMAZING STYLIST/COLORIST SHE'S THE ONE!!! SHERRY Pros: PROFESSIONAL, GREAT LISTENER, FLEXIBLE more

A Happy Client for Many Years! 2/21/2006

Alyson has been my hairstylist for 15 years. She has seen me through many cuts and colors along the way. Her cutting technique is superior. She is very detailed and precise. When I come in with a very specific idea of what I want I always leave with exactly what I wanted. When I don't know what I want, she helps me find a cut that compliments my face, coloring, hair texture and the look I desire. I have never walked away from Alyson's chair feeling that she cut too much or too little. Also worth mentioning is her warmth and graciousness. You can't go wrong with Alyson. Pros: excellent technique, customer service, friendly more

Very Good Hairstylist 2/15/2006

Corey, the owner and head hairstylist does hair for movie stars and you will feel like one when you walk out of his beautiful salon. I had the best cut and color of my life here, he really is one of the best. The prices are mid range - and vary depending on who you ask for. Parking is valet around the back and not a problem. be sure to check out the sexy, subdued interior design especially the artwork. more
