Love this salon!

by fournie562 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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.

jumping up & down for sit still salon!!!

by cathxis at Citysearch

had an unfortunate bang incident a while back... the stylist started the cut by chopping my bangs in half (NOT what i wanted!) i went to zac at sit still salon practically in tears - and he saved the day!!! actually got the bangs looking good for the growing out phase. i've been a devotee ever since!!!

have worked with a couple of the stylists there - each really good, with their own style & set of skills. but zac's my guy! latest feat - giving me a change-up on my go-to hairstyle with a couple swoops of a razor. a whole new - yet not new - thang! brilliant!

great ambience. welcoming staff. and ideal location! big thumbs up for sit still salon!!!
