value

  1. After looking for some good deals I decided on Sit Still (first time discounts are a steal).
  2. Cutest hair cut at a totally great price!
  3. If you are looking for a nice cut or color at a decent price, look no further than Main Street.
  4. Some of these poor customers are not even being disrespectful (for example, the customer who's hair was turned various colors twice until it was rectified on a third trip), and you attack her as if she was being unreasonable for getting her money back.
  5. the prices are great!
  6. It was so nice to find a hip, down to earth hair salon with reasonable prices and great hairstylists.
  7. Great prices for great hair!

  13. The stylist was great, the shop rocks, and you cant beat the price with a stick!
  14. The price was good so I did do both my cut and color and I have gotten so many compliments on it!
  15. walked away with a cute cut that is easy to manage and with gorgeous color -- all at a very reasonable price!
  16. Kazumi felt bad for me as the receptionist had quoted that price to me because she was one of the senior stylists and that intro deal does not apply for her.

  18. price was good, it can go up a lot depending on the stylist.

Bo Setlur

by hamza21

I came in weeks ago with a disaster on top of my head..After being a brunette for years I had decided to get some highlights in preparation for the summer which turned out to be a mistake. I called in Sit Still in hope someone could fix my hair before I returned to class.. I asked for a color expert and they referred me Bo Setlur.. I came in and immediately upon meeting Bo, I was excited! She took the time to understand the look I was going for and we both looked at pictures on her iPhone to make sure we were on the same page. What I was looking for was the soft ombre look and it is exactly what I got. My hair was damaged when I came in so she used a cream bleach instead, cut my ends and give me a whole new look.. While we were waiting for the color, we chatted about travels and different countries and I was very comfortable waiting... My hair turned SOOOOO BEAUTIFULLY !!!!!! I was so excited and so happy !!! She saved my hair and my morale that day! It also looked so healthy that no one could ever find out I had a bleach disaster the day before... She also took some pictures because she was also delighted of the results. !!! I will definitely keep coming back and I am very grateful to have found a hair dresser in Los Angeles. If you need an expert in hair color and hair style go see BO SETLUR !!!!

Want the natural, ombre, balayage look? See Jason!

by halesc

I was in desperate need of getting something done about my regrowth and wanted to go somewhere close to home. After researching salons in my area I called Sit Still to get an appointment that morning. I was in luck! 2 hours later I rolled up to the salon and was greeted by Jason soon after.

I've been getting a half head of highlights for a few years and go crazy when they grow out. My hair is super long and thick but I've been wanting a more natural look without entirely losing my blonde. Jason totally got what I was trying to achieve and worked with me in really cutting into my hair the way that I wanted and then toning down the blonde without entirely losing it.

Briefly, Jason first dry cut my hair and then painted on a lighter brown color to extend the regrowth into the length leaving the blonde ends. This now made my hair look more 'sunkist' opposed to that embarrassing grown-out two tone look.

He totally nailed ombre/balayage without it obviously being that. My hair looks more natural dirty/beach blonde than colors fading into one one another.

I absolutely loved what Jason did for me. I had been to two stylists before him over the past year to obtain this style and they both insisted I stick with blonde highlights and foils. Never again!

Not only did Jason's star styling here rock my world but so did the price. If you've never been here before you will get a super deal. I highly recommend this salon!!!

Love this salon!

by fournie562

I have been going to Sit Still for two years now and its the longest I have ever stayed with a salon! I come here for trims and Jen is amazing. I have been to many high end and overpriced salons, but Sit Still is by far the best and it is also affordable. I have really long hair and I always get nervous when I go to salons because I have had so many bad experiences. I am usually afraid that someone is going to chop all my hair off or give me a style I don't like. Jen always makes sure that I get what I want and makes my hair look great. I would recommend this salon to anyone!

Best Hair Salon in Venice/Santa Monica

by kaysiekent

Great Place! Everyone really knows hair. If you're looking for color, they are absolutely the best. It's comforting to know you can still get great service for great prices. Very easy to find, right on Main Street/Rose Ave. You'll never want to go anywhere else.
