Great cuts for Asian hair

by sage simpleton

I usually only frequent Japanese salons as I've somehow managed to convince myself over the years that only Asians can handle Asian hair. Well, a friend of mine came out a few nights ago with a perm done at Umberto and she looked amazing. I decided to try it out and I have to say that my hair looks amazing. I have very fine, thin hair so perms usually don't come out for me, but when I expressed my concern, my stylist (I forgot his name!) played with my hair for awhile, then assured me it would be alright. I actually have wavy hair now. I will definitely be going back here.

A treat! You'll always look good coming out of here

by BabyDM

I can't go to Umbertos all the time but when I do, I know I'm in for a treat. I probably get a cut and color twice a year here because the prices are up there but there is a visible difference in terms of the results.

I get chemical (not vegetable) coloring and when I get it here it doesn't wash out right away and only will lose color if I spend too many hours in the sun (takes a while and they have sold me products to protect my hair from the sun).

The stylists here really know what they're doing and they are great about looking at a picture and being able to give you what you want based on it.

It is an ultra high end luxury salon but lives up to its name and reputation.

John Vance saved me

by Lani2

I went to Umberto to get a haircut, When I got there I had a consultation with the manager Babette who is wonderful. She introduced me to John Vance, I swear we were instantly in love with each other. I have never met a person who could make me feel so good about myself so quickly. Not only did He "get" what I wanted right away but he executed it perfectly as well. I asked him about color and he did not pressure me at all. And I went back for highlights and they are wonderful as well. My hair has never looked better and I feel so good when I leave his chair. Go see him!

I have been going to John Vance for Years and all of my Friends go to him as well. He is so Great it's hard to even put into words. I have been living on the East coast for a couple years now and have just moved back to L.A. And first thing I did was make an Appt. with JOHN! Not only does My hair look better than ever but, John is even better! He is always improving his talent and it shows so much. He really cares so much about hair and his clients. I can Honestly say that I love him as a person and a hairdresser. Thank You to John Vance.

Looking for a Great Hairdresser? Try John Vance

by CarolShane

John Vance HAS IT ALL!! He is loaded with personality, talent, and skill. He is a master at color correction and totally trashed hair, so imagine what he can do with normal boring hair!! His highlights are beautiful and natural, his color and cuts are amazing and he is the "King of the Updo".

John always has time to listen, suggest a new color or cut "recharge" for my hairdo and is a cheerful pleasure to add to my day. I discovered John Vance early in his 16-year career with Umberto and he now has a wealth of experience to add to his natural talent. I am often asked where I go for my hair and eagerly recommend John Vance at Umbertos.
