A friend recommended me to Sugar. I just moved from New York City and was afraid when I thought of looking for a place to get my hair cut in LA. I lucked out and found Tommy at Sugar. He had my hair cut in about twenty minutes and it looked great. I got lucky on my first try.

I went to Sugar on a whim, desperate after getting the WORST haircut of my life at Rudy's Barbershop. When I explained to Adriana what had happened, she said the moment she saw me, she had an idea for a haircut that would look great. I recently had a baby and my hair is falling out (it was pretty damn thin before then, too), so a flattering cut was really important to my postpartum self-esteem. So I went with my gut and trusted her. It took her literally just 20 minutes to give me what might just be THE BEST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE. Maybe it simply seemed that way because I was at wit's end, but talk about grabbing victory from the jaws of defeat. The salon is small and intimate and really friendly. It's hip, yes, but not intimidatingly so. Plus you can do some shopping or grab a bit at Eat Well before or after! Totally recommend this place.

I used to have dreads - I went to Sugar, my favorite Silver Lake salon. I chopped them off and was left with virtually no hair – I headed to Sugar. I then went blond – and again Sugar Salon helped me out. I must admit, I love that place. Mayo from Hairpolice does most amazing dread maintenance. She had a baby last year and now is a one happy momma. Adriana will make you smile when you look in the mirror. In fact, you’ll be happy the moment you see her – I haven’t yet met a more cheerful, sweet and optimistic styler. The owner, Tommy Carmanico (formerly of Jonathan), will offer you most needed personal-grooming session and you know immediately you can trust this guy – he’s got vision and he's not afraid to do crazy stuff. And that all, my friends, will come to you for a mere $40 (Tommy) or $25 (Adriana) for a haircut, $50 color and $50/hr dread maintenance. What else exemplifies cool, unpretentious stylists and of course, great hair, if not Sugar?
