The My Bella Color Hair Studio

I loved the style of the salon. The fun conversation, I felt like an old friend (was my first time) I totally went in a new direction with my hair color it turned out better then expected. Charis did my hair, I told her my everyday style & she cut it perfect. I've always had a problem going home to recreate what a hair stylist does in the salon. I have had the easiest week with my hair. Thank you Charis you were great! I highly recommend. Pros: I had a great time Cons: none more

Let's just say, I have never been so comfortable with my hair being done in a salon before! This was my first time going to the Bella Studio, Sharon took charge of my horse hair! She's AWESOME It was like black and white, I walked in with my dull lifeless hair, and left with an amazing new look; which I must say, turned out exactly the way I had asked! You have no choice but to feel comfortable in that salon, theres positive energy, and they are an awesome team that really cares about what you want. If you don't know what you want, they will walk you through it, and give you all the time you need. I was well taken care of and i plan to to return. It's just like that insurance Allstate commercial..."You're in good hands" with that being an understatement! more

I was always a slave to the die bottle...I tried every free to expensive method for changing my hair color. Two years ago I decided I was done...NO MORE DYING! Well, I had some professional photos taken about 2 weeks ago and I hated the color my hair had become...sort of this weird red/brown/weird hair color. I decided I would get it colored but I wasn't going to settle for a bad hair job...but I also wasn't going to pay out the bottom side for it. After numerous phone calls and web searches I came across the My Bella Color Studio website and read about Sharon. I figured she woudl know what she was doing, but what about her less expensive counterparts. Oh well, they were under her supervision so I would try...and I'm glad I did! Alaina came in on her day off because she knew I had to get my hair done before my big audition. She welcomed me like I was her old friend. She consulted with me and showed me pictures to make sure we had the same color in mind. Sharon was just as friendly and double checked that we were all set before starting. When the job was done not only was the color rich and beautiful beyond what I expected but Alaina took the extra time to style it to show me just how great it could be...AND SHE GAVE ME 20% OFF for being a first time customer. I have already become a loyal customer. ...oh, and day 3 after wash 1 and it looks even better!!!! Pros: great hair color, friendly staff, close to home more

When I went in to see Sharon for a color correction consultation I was on the verge of giving up on my hair. I had been to three other stylists and had had my hair colored a total of five times within the last three months, all with the goal of getting back to my natural color. Sharon sat me down and talked with me about my concerns and showed me that she truly understood what I wanted. After 30 minutes she managed to make me feel hopeful and excited about my hair again! Two days later I came in for my appointment and she worked her magic and the results exceeded my expectations tremendously. She got rid of the bright red tones in my hair and replaced them with a natural-looking brown with beautifully subtle multi-tonal highlights and lowlights. I absolutely love my healthy-looking hair and I left the salon happy, confident and completely convinced that Sharon is a true master colorist and creative genius! Thank you sooo much Sharon, you are the best! You will definitely be seeing this gorgeous-haired brunette again! -C.A. more

I was planning on going from red to blond and had an appointment with my usual stylist. After waiting 3 weeks for my appointment, I was more than ready to go when she cancelled on me. Having no patience whatsoever (and having already waited 3 weeks for a hair appointment) I was determined to find someone who could change me from a redhead back to a blond, so I searched the internet. I came up with a list of names - people with good reviews who I was going to call the first thing next morning and then I came across the reviews for My Bella Color. Then I found their website and I realized that this was the only place I wanted to try. Sharon was good enough to see me the day that I called her (for a consult )and she was so busy that I decided to wait a few more days (better to do it right, than fast). I was glad I did. We had the place to ourselves, she took her time (which actually didn't take long at all) and the color AND cut are beautiful. Sharon is only the 2nd person I've ever been to where I left the chair LOVING my hair. She was great, friendly, fun and the studio is fabulous. I highly recommend My Bella Color, I know I'll be going back! more

When I moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco, I had the most difficult time trying to find a hair stylist that was visionary and consistent. It was so frustrating to pay money for something that I would change on my own later. I had many frustrating experiences and disappointments before I found Sharon. Sharon took one look at my blond hair and green eyes and had colors mixed and hair foiled before I even knew it. She expertly checked the development of the color with the tint in my eyes to make sure that the color was flattering and perfect. When she cut my new champagne blond hair she cut layers to bring out my bone structure and to maintain a style with very little effort or maintenance. The process took just over 2 hours, and flew by so quickly. I left feeling transformed and fantastic! I would recommend Sharon to anyone and everyone. It was by far the most pleasurable experience I have had in the 6 years I have been in LA. She has (another) customer for life. Pros: Fantastic service and energy. Consistent and beautiful work. Cons: none. more

After reading the many positive reviews about this salon I decided to give it a try. I chose Paula to color correct my hair disaster that a very well known "blonde colorist to the stars" did to me. Paula sat down with me for at least 30 minutes to discuss the blonde color I was looking to achieve and how she was planning to correct the previous damage that had been done to my hair. Paula was an excellent listener and communicator and very knowledgeable about color. I was very impressed with her upbeat and positive personality which made me feel that much more comfortable! The color and cut turned out gorgeous and exactly as she said it would. Her prices were more than fair and the salon was very clean and warm. Nobody could go wrong with Paula or this salon. It was a great experience and I get compliments on my color and cut more than i ever did before. Paula is absolutely the best! Pros: Paula ! Cons: None more

Sharon is the best. She was able to fix the problem that so many other hairdresser could not solve. Here is an excerpt from the thank you note that I sent to her: "Hi Sharon, You worked on, and corrected, my orange-blonde hair this past week. Rarely, have I been able to look in the mirror after I leave the salon, and feel so good about my hair. You are an artist, and a genius. Thank you so much. For those of you looking for the best in hair service, I highly recommend Sharon. 1 Happy Client. more

Sharon?s work is brilliant, grateful I?ve found her! I?ve previously been to a few well known Beverly Hills salons, leaving with unsatisfactory results lacking quality. Sharon took the time to ?examine? my hair as well as to clearly understand the results I desired. My hair has never looked better, getting tons of compliments! The quality of Sharon?s work is of the highest level. The studio?s atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Could not have had a better experience anywhere! Devoted Client Pros: Brilliant work; great vibe Cons: non more

I absolutely love this place. I have finally found a hair colorist and stylist who is amazing, Paula and Sharon have such talent and passion for their work, and give such attention to detail I have never seen in other salons. They are fun and very friendly, The super cute decorated salon makes for a pleasant, relaxed and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend! you won't be dissapointed. more

I found this salon through the reviews on good ol citysearch when trying to find a local place to just freshen up my stressed out tresses. I have to say this is one of those rare places where you get a friendly staff who are actually attentive to their customers. Paula did a killer job with weaving shimmers of coppery red into my hair which is perfect for the fall/winter season. I know I will be back to see her for the seasons to come because she is one of the few, actually the only stylist I know here who is not afraid to color long and thick hair. Pros: Friendly and professional stylists Cons: None more

I actually used CitySearch reviews to find My Bella Color and went in armed with photos for my first appointment. I met Sharon, and we sat down at a long table in her studio and refined what I wanted. After spending close to a half hour talking about the desired look, we began. Throughout the process, she didn't pass me on to an assistant or work on many other clients at the same time. That conveyed the message that as a client, I was valued, and my time was valued as well. While my color was developing, I was able to relax on a couch and read-- as I would at home. I found this relaxed atmosphere and lack to hustle and bustle refreshing and enjoyable. I also loved the results; I went from total blonde to blonde and red. Depending on how I style it, I can look blonder or redder. The versatility is great. The cut was exactly what I wanted! Ever see a girl with stripes in her hair? That's a bad weave. With what Sharon does, take any 20 strands of hair and see a thorough mixture. My overall strawberry blonde is a result of interwoven blonde and darker red. The dimension is incredible and no thick stripes. Most people weave in a line and start at the top of the head and go down. How can that be right for every person? Sharon parted my hair as I would wear it and deliberately placed the foils so that my sideswept bangs with blonde and red layers were deliberately created. That takes time, yes, but I saw the ARTISTRY in what she did. Also, because her price was more than I was used to (300 including tip) instead of half that, she weaved me so that I could go longer between visits. I did fade to multi-dimensional blonde by the end of 2 months, but I was happy with that look too. Sharon's willingness to consult and refine the vision as well as atmosphere, value of the client, and overall results make her worth the money. Enjoy! Pros: Atmosphere, Consultation, Expertise Cons: None really more

This place is amazing!!! I was looking on some websites trying to find a place that can actually do great highlights without overpricing their customers. I came across My Bella Color looking at pictures and thought WoW this person does awesome highlights and was sad cause I thought it was for celebrities only until I saw the number below....I was soooo Happy, of course I called and scheduled my first appointment and had been a customer ever since!!!=) Pros: thumbs up Cons: n/a more

When I lived on the east coast, I was looking around online and came across a few amazing pictures of contrasted highlights. I brought these pictures to my stylist at the time, and while she did a so-so job of replicating the style the few times she did it, it was never quite right. Years later, I showed up at My Bella Color and I realized that these pictures I'd pulled were Paula's work. I knew I was in the right place! Not only did Paula create an interesting and versatile pattern out of the colors we chose (platinum and black cherry), but she found years of coloring mistakes in my hair - to the point where holding a chunk of it up to the light would reveal something that could only accurately be described as leopard print checkerboard. She explained to me how my hair ended up in this condition, through years of going to multiple stylists who were merely piling color on top of my existing color without understanding what lay beneath, how the colors mix, and how they fade over time to create new colors. To do this level of color correction, I'm not joking when I say she almost had to dye each section of each piece of hair individually. Paula spent five hours that day foiling my hair to fix it, her longest, most meticulous foil job to date. After she finished, it was perfect. It grows out beautifully, and even the root growth ends up looking cool. And now that she's fixed it, it takes 80% less time to replicate the results because she's revisiting her own work. I am never letting anyone else but Paula even THINK about touching my hair again. :) Pros: Are you kidding?? EVERYTHING. Cons: Not on your life. more

Sharon and Paula at My Bella are two of the most gifted hairstylists I've had the pleasure of meeting. Paula does my hair now and I love it every time. She is fantastic about making sure the cut works for me and is totally honest about the best cut and color for my face shape. I get compliments about my hair wherever I go. The hallmark of a great cut is that it grows out well and easily, and mine do every time. Plus the shop is artistic, eclectic, and fun; you feel right at home. Totally unpretentious, a breath of fresh air around here! Pros: Stylists who pay attention Cons: As if more

Intimate, professional and talented! You don't feel uncomfortable going into this salon - it is not an uptight-we're-to-good-for-you salon! I am middle-aged and overweight - far from the "young and trendy" hipsters that come here, too. But I felt like part of the family and very welcomed. I will definetly come back here. Pros: very casual atmosphere Cons: not a lot of parking more

WOW! At this salon, colorist/stylist Paula gave me the most incredible, adventurous, FABULOUS look of my life! She is not a hairdresser, she is an artist of the highest order! I went here because of the exemplary reviews on Citysearch, and because it was four-week-root-growth time. I'm in my 40s but a performer, and I'd been frustrated with the "soccer mom" look, especially since I'm single and childless. It seems everyone my age has anchorwoman hair that's a little too long and a little too bleached. I'd kind of thought about red, but didn't want to veer back into my natural boring dark-ish hair. Plus, I am pitching a new television project, and was feeling sensitive about my age, and looking like a has-been. Well, Paula fixed all THAT! She sat down with me at a table, and showed me many variations I had never imagined, through magazine pictures, for 30 minutes. I had never had anyone do this in a hair salon -- and get this -- she even mentioned cost-effectiveness for various suggestions. Usually, I feel like I'm getting highlighted and lowlighted into debt. I decided on something really daring -- dark red underneath, with fabulous blonde-to-platinum shades on the top layers. She called it a convertible hairstyle, because every way I part it or put it up, it looks different. Well, wow. Soccer mom no more. I look edgy, hip, daring, and plus, not only does the red color make my blue eyes pop, I'm still a blonde! I went out that night and strangers approached me, men tried to pick me up (did I mention I'm middleaged??) and everyone wanted to know where I'd gone to get this great look. To add to all this, for a very intricate highlighting job with a ton of foils, I spent less than I have in years on a single salon visit. I feel very confident because of this hair color, and I am absolutely thrilled! The best part was that Paula was very good at evaluating my comfort level -- she could see what I wanted but might have given other clients more conservative options. Pros: Incredible staff, great location, good parking, great value, hairdressers-as-artists. Plus there's a great little Mexican place across the street that delivers. Cons: Not a darn thing. more

I truly see why everyone raves about this place. My hair used to always be extremely damaged when I got it done. Well not at this amazing establishment. I am not the easiest person to please, and I must say...wow. I was very impressed with my hair color here at My Bella Color. Previously I was told by other top notch salons, that because of the colors I wanted in my hair, that there will always be a lot of damage. All I ever wanted were a couple different blond shades. My Bella Color must use pixie dust, since other salons said it couldn?t be done without so much damage. It is obvious why My Bella Color Studio has so many thank you letters on the wall from celebrities and other high end clientele. . Much thanks to Sharon and her talented staff. more

Geniuses with color and very intuitive with giving you the cut you want. Easy access in Burbank and groovy digs, make this the savviest and most friendly salon in the valley. Plus, these ladies have serious chair side manners and are good for a girlie chat while your color is setting. Bella! Pros: Average prices for above average services. more

I had just moved to Burbank and was worried that I wasn't going to find a good hair stylist. Sharon proved me wrong, the very second I walked in and saw her dinning table in the middle of her shop I felt right at home. I've been going to her for the past 2 years and she keeps track of the exact color she used for the next time, so I don't have to worry about getting a different color the next time I go to her, unless I request it. If you are looking to make a change or just get the right color to match your eyes, My Bella Color is the place! more
