Bob is great, best in town! Pros: Great cut from great guy Cons: Clear your schedule more

No one better then Bob! 11/16/2009

5 years ago I went to Bob with a really lame and boring hairstyle, I had no idea what I needed or wanted but Bob took one look and a few hours later I was a entirely different person! My hair was beyond anything I could have imagined and I have never in my life received as many compliments as I do on a daily basis! Needless to say I continue to let Bob do his magic and every time I am as impressed as I was the first! I feel so welcome there and every single person working there is friendly and wonderful! I highly recommend Transcend Salon to anyone!!! THANK YOU BOB! Pros: Wonderful people, comfortable environment, Amazing talent! more

Best Salon in Town 11/16/2009

I have been a client of stylist Kristine for 10 years now and I would highly recommend her services. She is a terrific at satisfying your every beauty need. Kris gives innovative cuts, natural color and highlights, long lasting blowouts and great brow-shaping. Her make-up skills are equally wonderful as I have used her before professional head-shots and other photos. Visit the salon and you will not be disappointed with your new look!! Pros: Friendly, professional and talented stylist more

Inspiration in the midst of the dark... 11/14/2009

When I came to Los Angeles years ago I used to drive back to San Diego (138 miles each way) or wait till I was back home (out of state) to get my hair cut. I stumbled upon Transcend Salon and can say that for even the most demanding client....this is the place. I've been going to Transcend ever since. :) Pros: Everything but the cons... :) Cons: Parking if your late for your appointment. ;p more

I drive from Vegas for Bob! 11/14/2009

I have known Bob for over 20 years, and I think we've become good friends during that time. But it's not due to that friendship that I write this review, it's mainly due to the few bad ones I've read so far on the site. Yes, it can take longer in his salon than in others, no, he probably won't care that you've been sitting there annoyed, listening to him go on and on about something you don't care about. But if you really trust his judgement and experience and you let the rest be part of the price you have to pay for that level of expertise, you too will become hooked like many others. Over that many years it was natural we would disagree on many issues, and once I even took a one year break from him. During that time I had my hair colored (but not cut) by others, but I was never happy. I had to return to him and accept that Bob was a package deal, and that the positives more than outweigh the negatives. My husband and I moved to Las Vegas in 2005 and since then I've been driving the 4 hours each way every 6 weeks for color and every 2nd-3rd trip for cut. I always get wows from family and friends. I once tried a Vegas stylist (came highly praised) for color and it was awful, out of a bottle. My husband got 2 haircuts in Vegas and they were old fashioned and didn't compliment his face at all. So we log in the miles and gas and put up with Bob's opposing political views for a reason: he happens to be the BEST that I found at what he does. I also enjoy the friendly, family style atmosphere, I'm asked about the kids, I know about their kids, boyfriends and diets, and this sort of feeling of belonging doesn't come easy in most other places. Bob knows how to make you part of the group right away, he introduces his clients to each other so you never feel like an outsider, and when you leave you feel you have made a personal connection with everyone, employees and clients, so you say your farewells to each person you've met. I love Bob and so do my husband, 3 kids and all my friends who have met him! Pros: Great cut, color, family atmosphere Cons: Parking more

Bob the Magician 11/13/2009

Bob is an artiste, a magician. He is gregarious and larger than life. Sometimes he runs a little late or gets caught up in conversation or telling jokes, but it is all worth it!! He cuts with such precision and skill you can let his cuts grow and grow and they still maintain their look. I have never had a stylist who I completely trusted to do whatever they wanted to my hair. No matter what Bob does, it looks great. Bob is the man!!! Pros: Perfect hair that maintains as it grows. Cons: Appointments can run long. more

Bob and his people are GREAT! 11/13/2009

Bob and his people working at Transcend are great. Bob is a perfectionist and won't let you leave until the cut is perfect. My wife and I are really happy with him and love the folks in his shop. He'll change the way you look at yourself! Pros: Great cut and color! more

This man is a genius...he will cut your hair to better suit your face and trust me the hair cut will hold it's shape and style for several months....I come in once a year because even after 12 months my hair still looks damn good! this isn't supercuts; this is a REAL Salon with PROFESSIONALS who are more like artists then anything else.... screw all of the bad reviews, I promise to you, you will leave the salon feeling soo good about yourself! Pros: too many to list Cons: sharing BOB with your friends more

like an extension of family 10/21/2009

I have been going to Bob for years! I cheated on him once and had to have him fix my bad haircut and he made me gorgeous. His staff all spoils me and have become my friends. He truly cherishes people and wants to make everyone feel special. DONT GO HERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A COLD, QUICK HAIRCUT WITH NO SOCIAL INTERACTION. Bob, treats everyone like family and wants everyone to meet and interact because he truly makes it his business to become friends with his clients. He is so warm and loving. But most of all, he makes me feel beautiful. I was told 5 times last night how good my haircut was, by 5 STRANGERS! I love people here, and I love the cut! Bob, you're a true artist! Pros: best haircut and color i've ever had Cons: i dont live there more

Do you want to waste your time? 10/15/2009

I don't even know where to start. My appointment was at 9:30, but someone was scheduled before me. I got there 10 minutes early and she just had her hair washed. Bob said hello and asked me to wait. I was cool with that. I sat. They offered me tea. I read a magazine. While I sat there Bob was chatting up the girl in the chair. Something like 15 minutes passed and I noticed he was talking the whole time. The conversation was totally all over the map. He discussed his psychology, his ex-wife, girlfriends, you name it - like I sad all over the map. I tried to ignore the conversation and wonder for a second if I would also be treated to the same. I went back to my reading. Finally I noticed I had been waiting for 50 minutes and got really antsy. I thought, should I just go, but after reading all these reviews it sounded like he was some kind of genius with hair, so wanted to be open. This was my great mistake. Needless to say, Bob sensed my annoyance of waiting, so he pulled me into the conservation, and ignored the girl in the chair. She was probably happy. But the thing was was that he would cut some hair pull back stand in front of the client and talk. He did more cutting than talking. At 10:30, they took me to the back to get shampooed. I was so hesitant, not because of getting a good haircut, but I had no real desire to be an audience to his monologue. I was put in the chair, and he started to work. All kinds of strange things transpired taking his attention away from my haircut, but his mouth never stopped. It was comical to watch his employees as they clearly couldn't stand him. Bob's appears all big, smart (he'll tell you all about everything under the sun he studies), but he is extremely emotional and talks out of his ass. In the end, I sat there until 1:30. And big old Bob dumped his garbage truck of cramp on me, the client before me and everyone else that crossed the threshold. The cut was good, it may be great, but the experience was like a hostage situation. This might sound over dramatic, but I swear to you that if you were sitting in the chair you would feel the same way. I didn't write this - to spare his feelings, however people should be warned. it was fresh hell - when I told him to hurry - he got flustered and took even longer. If you're not into a four haircut - I don't recommend this guy. Pros: okay haircut Cons: 4 f 'in hour hair cut more

Truly a renaissance man 9/9/2009

Bob will take you through an insightful and enlightening consultation prior to you styling. Not only is his work beautiful but also technically brilliant---your style lasts longer, easy to manage and will look the same 3 weeks later. I remeber I used not sleep laying down after going to other ""trendy"" salons cuz it was so hard to reproduce. He teaches you management and care alongside a professional yet personal demeanor. Thank you Bob and Gisa and Staff! Pros: He is a stylists' stylist - he reveals ur hidden beauty Cons: Spoils me too much more

BEST SALON EVER... 9/8/2009

Bob (the owner) is the most amazing hairdresser ever. In fact he's so good he plans how my hair will grow out as he cuts and colors so i don't need to come back more than once every 6 months... and best believe it still looks hot 6 months later. Bob is adorable, full of entertaining stories and sincerely cares about his clients like family. His entire staff is warm and competent and even you might sit there for a few hours balling between clients who are all getting different designs done, you will have no complaints as the staff will keep you entertained and feeling at home in no time... and not to mention that you will most likely walk out with the most happening hair do around. well work the wait! i have been going to bob for soon 5 years and would never let anyone else lay a finger on my hair ever again. If you're up for something truly unique and special , bob is the one you want to go to. He'll make your hair look like a walking piece of art while making you a sandwich and a cup of tea. transcend is wonderful... Pros: Amazing Color and Modern cuts more
