I followed Allen from Beverly Hills (2 locations -- the 2nd was brief) to his Santa Monica salon. I was always pleased with the result over a period of 2 years, but the Santa Monica location was not as convenient for me. I always scheduled it around Allen's availability -- so can't say what the experience might be with other operators. But Allen was always the best.
Pros: See rating above, Superior to Umberto
