Awilda Salon

I come in to Awilda's twice a month for the past 4 years. Lisa the receptionist is super professional and on point. Katie is one of the top colorists in La, and Heather, Christina, and Awilda are some of the best stylists i have ever seen. Before I came to Awlida's I had my room mate give me buzz cuts in the bathroom because i feared hair stylists in LA doing a worse job, and i didnt see the value in paying them. But now I am pleased to say that I am a loyal customer, and will never go anywhere else(unless i move out of state). Awilda's Salon has definteley taught me the value and pleasure of great hair stylists. Pros: service and parking Cons: none more

Oh my god, Awilda's salon is conveniently located, has a great and professional receptionist named Lisa, amazing colorist Katie, and absolutely fabulous Manager/ Owner/ hair stylist Awilda. If your having a bad hair day, or want something new, or even just maintain these girls will do it all in a affordable price, and in a loving atmosphere! more

I came here with my sister after we both had a bad experience having our hair highlighted at John Frieda. I had been going to John Frieda for about 6 years but the last time I went I was unhappy with the colour they put in my hair, which turned really brassy and looked tacky. It also ruined the condition of my hair! I needed a new salon in Beverly Hills and after reading all the good reviews of Awilda I decided to give it a try. The salon is really calm and unpretentious. The staff were all very nice, friendly and took a great deal of time figuring out the best way to colour our hair. The end result was a beautiful dark red in my sister's hair, and they managed to fix my hair so that it looked natural dark blonde rather than brassy and stripey. They also gave me a great shampoo and conditioner which is helping to maintain my colour and restore the condition of my hair. We were both really please with the result and the whole experience. And the price was so much more reasonable than what we had been paying at John Frieda. We're both going back in a few weeks for cuts, and I will definitely be going here to get my colour done in the future. Highly recommended! Pros: Nice staff, great colourists, relaxed atmosphere Cons: Not a lot of parking in the back, although we double parked and it wasn't a problem more

Awilda Salon is the best salon in LA! I wish I could keep them a secret, but thats unfair. They have no attitudes like some people in LA, and for an East Coaster like myself it was the perfect place. Heather and I bonded right away and I feel like I have known her for years. She gives natural looking highlights, none of that platinum stuff, because thats not what I was looking for. She was worth every penny I paid for her! I will definitely be back to see her in the near future. Pros: comfortable atmosphere, nice magazine selection, great skill and conversation Cons: none more

I found this salon while searching citysearch and am so happy I gave it a try. The next day I received about 20 comments on my hair from very random people. Awilda gave me red hair that looks like I was born with it. Amazing! I will be back again and again- do not hesitate to try Awilda Salon! Everyone there is pleasant and experienced and a lot of fun! Run don't walk!!! more

i just moved to LA from san diego and i was planning on commuting to the stylist Pros: atmosphere, staff, Heather more

Hands down, Christina Olson you are the best colorist ever!!!!!!!! Honestly, you work wonders!!!! Please don't ever leave Beverly Hills! Pros: Amazing color more

I recently had my hair color done at Awilda Salon and I have to say it is the best color and cut I have EVER had. I started out a dirty blonde with a terrible cut and walked out a hot redhead with blonde highlights. The cut is really fantastic and I can't believe it is me every time I look in the mirror! Pros: All great - people are lovely, styles are gorgeous and the color is beautiful Cons: - more

Christina was my stylist / colorist on 10/16/2007. Outstanding. I would higher her in a heartbeat; just after my first experience. I, a former 'working' stylist / colorist at great St. Louis salon. Pros: value Cons: none more

I am an expert hair goer....as in I have been to most of the "best" salons in the Los Angeles area, and I have to tell you that Awilda's is a true find. After multiple hair disasters, I have finally found a place where I know I will always come out looking like a movie star. I am so impressed with, not only how spectacular I always look when I leave Awilda (she is the stylist I always use), but also with how the stylists treat their clients. It is just such a relaxing and peaceful place to get my hair done, a true escape from the world. I have now been going for over two years, and if I ever move out of the LA area, I'll have to fly back just to get my hair done! I have also, from Awilda, really learned ways to control my curls. I used to have the ultimate frizzy hair do, and now it always looks silky and shiny...beautiful. You've got to try this place! Pros: Highlights, cuts, conditioners, service, EVERYTHING... Cons: None more

I really enjoy my experiences at Awilda Salon. During my last visit I had some green tea, a muffin, more reading material then I knew what to with and exceptional color! Christina (my colorist) is such a sweet layed back person and she always makes my visits worth the trip from San Francisco. That's right I said it , I commute between SF and LA for business and well no one touches my head but Christina. If you plan on visiting Christina I recommend you book a bit in advance as she is getting a bit harder to see, but WELL worth it! Pros: Parking in back more

After shopping around for a new stylist to do highlights, I somehow stumbled into Heather's chair. AND I GOT LUCKY! She gave me the most natural highlights I've ever had. She is somebody with TASTE...and is VERY PARTICULAR. Her diagonal technique ensured that I would not end up with a striped head of hair (which I loathe). I will definitely go back. In the past week, I've sent a handful of friends and family to her. All are pleased with the results. I will continue to recommend her. Pros: No snobs here. Parking in the back. Cons: Can't think of any. more

I just went to Awilda's to get my haircut and she did the most amazing job. She gave me more layers and gave me a style that gives my fine hair lots of body. I like the salon because there are no attitudes and very relaxed. Pros: Great Haircut, Friendly Staff more

If you have it you know what im talking about. I want body and layers that won't make me look like a mushroom. I have been through several of the same haircuts over the years, but finally someone got it right. I was recommended to Christina from a friend and read the outstanding review and decided to try. From the consultation to the end of the service I really got the whole hair experience. Christine recommended I put highlights in to enhance the cut and WOW what a huge difference this makes. She also schooled me on some products and easy stying tips. Who would have thought mousse could make such a difference? Christine and mousse are like P.B. and J for my hair :) Pros: parking in back Cons: none more

i've been looking for a stylist forever, someone who can handle my curly hair, someone who does great color, someone who's willing to listen but will also offer suggestions, etc. A friend of mine recommended heather at awilda and lemme just say -- fantastic. SUCH a relief. not only is heather personable and down to earth, she does AMAZING color and cut my curly locks perfectly! subtle layers that really compliment the way i like to wear my hair which is LONG. so happy to have finally found a terrific stylist. i would recommend heather to anyone and everyone. two thumbs way up. three cheers. bravo! more

Heather, my stylist at Awilda Salon, gave me the best haircut I've ever had! I just moved here and I have gone to my same stylist back home forever. I was worried about trying someone new, but Heather was spectacular! And even though the salon is in Beverly Hills, it has a very relaxed, homey quality to it. I will recommend Heather to all my friends...she rocks!! more

This salon has such a wonderful atmosphere! It's classy and comfortable with a great style. Everyone is really friendly, but I HIGHLY recomend making an appointment with Christina. She does an outstanding job with color and cut, which is hard to find, and I've definitely been to more hairdressers then I can count. She's amazing :) Pros: Ambience,staff,skills,service more

I was in Los Angeles, moving my daughter, and badly needed a cut and color. I read the reviews for the Awilda Salon on Citysearch and decided to try it. Lucky for me Christina had a cancellation and fit me in. The salon had a relaxing atmosphere and everyone was very pleasant...no attitude. Not only did Christina do an excellent job on my hair but she also took the time to write down local restaurants and newcomer tips for my daughter. We have since tried several of her recommendations and they were all perfect. She even gave me her e-mail address so my daughter could write her if she had any questions. Christina is a gem! The bad news is I finally found a great hairdresser and I don't live in the LA area. The good news is my daughter now knows where to get her hair cut. Pros: Great Color and cut, Parking, Service, more

My boyfriend has been going to Christina for sometime now, and after trying many salons I decided to give her a try. So happy! She gave me the best color and cut i have ever had. The blonde i am complements my skin tone sooo well. Highly recommended! Pros: Parking in back more

I had never been here before but saw all the great reviews on city search and decided to give it a try. This salon has such a great, laid-back atmosphere. Everyone is really nice and professional. I had blonde highlights and a haircut with Katie, who did an awesome job. My color looked amazing, natural (which I requested, though they can do more dramatic blondes too) and really healthy afterwords. Katie also took the time to discuss other options with me to make sure I got what I wanted. I would highly recommed this salon to anyone who is tired of noisy salons where you just feel cattle prodded and end up paying a fortune for something you don't like. Money spent at Awilda is worth it. Pros: parking in the back, excellent service and quality more
