Fabulous and Fun Ambiance 3/13/2008

I have been to so many hair salon in santa monica and Ambiance is great! The best haircut I had ever and the salon is fun no attitude. Everyone is so friendly and it such a relaxed vibe....I have sent a few friends and they are thrilled with their cut and color. I will be going there for a long time. Pros: The best cut and color more

Lovin' my hair cut as usual! 3/9/2008

I highly recommend Ambiance Salon and Luis as a stylist! Normally during hair cuts I feel tense and worried about the end result, but when you get your hair cut by Luis you will be able to sit comfortably in the chair without a worry! Not only will you love your hair cut, but you will enjoy a great conversation - he's not too hard on the eye either ladies ;) Pros: great location, clean salon, great service more

""Shear"" enjoyment 2/25/2008

I?ve been going to Luis Franco at Ambiance for hair cuts and color for the past 2 years, and I look forward to many more. Each visit, Luis listens to what I would like to do with my hair and makes helpful suggestions. Then he makes it a reality with an individualized color formulation (outstanding gray coverage, too), a meticulous precision cut and a picture-perfect blow-out. Luis is an artist!\r \r The salon environment is friendly, open, airy, flooded with natural light. Also, there is an array of quality hair products available for purchase. A trip to Ambiance is ?shear? enjoyment all the way around!\r more

Great haircut 2/23/2008

I have had two hair cuts from Luis at Ambiance Salon. He took time discussing options with me and asking about how I care for my hair. He seemed genuinely interested and was extremely careful about giving me exactly what I wanted. Both times, the end result was wonderful. more

My Irish Eyes Are Smiling 2/17/2008

Tom's the one stylist I've found who can give my straight, black, bodyless, Irish hair (we're not all freckle-faced, curly-haired redheads, you know) a cut that's not only stylish and contempory, but a cinch to take care of. (Did I mention I'm lazy?) As for parking, I never seem to have a problem finding a metered space on the small side street alongside the shop or in the rear metered lot. Highly recommended. more

Nice Work 2/12/2008

Took a chance on a stranger stylist (Luis), and was impressed with the color when left. Prices very good for the area. I would definitely go back and recommend. Cons: Street parking / meter but was easy to park more

Best Hair Salon on the west side 1/13/2008

\r I found this salon through the referral of my girlfriend. Although she's never been to this salon her girlfriend goes there and I think I complained enough about my hair to her that she thought this salon would suit me best.( I have very straight hair)\r I've tried so many $$$ salons and left feeling.. ""ok"" but never really ""HAPPY"". Even at salons I worked at such as Toni and Guy . I almost surely thought would do the job right. And maybe they thought they were, but after going to this salon I have finally found THE SALON.\r My hair is quite difficult. It is very straight and I have about 4 cowlicks. So who ever cuts my hair is in for it. \r Tom my stylist ,was amazing. I told him that I I had been trying to grow out my hair but it just wasn?t working w/the haircut I was sporting.... so.,....instead of cutting it all off (which I usually end up doing)`( Because I give up) He kept my length and just sliced his way through my hair ending with the best haircut ever. He listened to me. And I didn?t feel like he was rushing through the cut.\r Honestly this is the best Salon I've been to in L.A. Once you step in .......you are in great hands.\r And I cannot forget to mention the incredible message. WOW!!..the assistant GON was amazing. I've been in the beauty industry for 15 years and I have never experienced the greatness which is message until now. \r I highly recommend this salon. Especially if your tired of paying $$$. The price is crazy good. And the service is beyond amazing!!!!\r \r more

Great cut for curly hair 12/11/2007

I needed a new look for my very curly hair--So, I asked Luis Franco at Ambiance for his recommendation of color--a nice saucy red -- and a more modern cut for my curly hair. I love the color -- and the cut is great. I can wear it natural with lots of curls and I can also use my flat iron and wear it straight. He also recommended shampoo to keep the red, red, and an anti-frizz product that actually works. Thanks for a great outcome--I love my hair now.\r more

Can't live without them !!! 11/30/2007

I don't know what I would do without him. I went to Tom needing a change from my old ways and wanting to spark up my life a little. Besides a new haircut, he recommended a new color that I had not even considered. To this day, people think it is my natural color - not only because it looks good on me - but because it looks natural. I even had to move to Texas for a few years, but was thrilled when I came back and was able to go back to Tom. He and the staff are fun and friendly - and they know what they are doing. I recommend you try it ! more

Fantastic hairdresser! 11/12/2007

The owner Tom is an artist, and a true magician with hair. I have fine, curly, shoulder-length hair. I like to keep it low-maintenance, and I don't want to have to spend hours styling it. Tom cuts it every 6 weeks, and all I have to do is get out of the shower and let my hair dry. Tom advised me on great products to use, which keeps my hair in good condition and looking good. I tried many hairdressers when I moved to L.A. from Paris, none of them were satisfactory. I walked into Ambiance by chance 5 years ago, and have never looked back since. During my many visits, I have seen all sorts of people walk in, including the hair-challenged type: they always walk out looking good, whether they are hip youngsters or old ladies or the more conservative type. Bonus: the staff is very friendly, competent, it's always easy to get an appointment and the prices are reasonable compared to other hairdressers on the Westside. more

BEST SALON IN LOS ANGELES - 5 STARS!! 10/18/2007

I've been a patron of the Salon for ever!! The service is fabulous along with the special care and attention that you receive when you walk through the door. I have very long, very thick curly hair that takes extra care and attention and I get it each and every time I'm at Ambiance. I've been to other Salons and have been kept waiting with poor service and dripping hair. I can highly recommend Ambiance to all, especially if you are on a busy schedule, you leave looking fantastique. All of my girlfriends are going there and telling their friends, it's a dream come true to find ""THE SALON""!! I look forward to every appointment and ask for Tommy who is the owner, he is wonderful. Pros: Excellent Service, Great Staff, Easy Parking, on Main Street with lots of shopping more
