Great value for your money!!. Jean C. is awesome! I have very fine hair and she was able to work miracles with it. As a life-long Los Angelino, I have tried many different salons in the area -- comparatively speaking, The Cut's pricing is very competitive for the quality of service you get. In addition to a fabulous cut that completely revived my thin and overworked hair, I got the BEST highlights I have ever had. I have dark brown hair, and Jean managed to give me a textured look with warm caramel and beige-y strips. She was able to lighten my hair without turning it white or yellow/brassy. I left the salon with a very polished and sophisticated cut and this was no small feat considering the state of my hair when I walked in! The atmosphere at the salon is also very chill and unpretentious. There is plenty of free and available parking in the rear so you don't have to stress out or leave the house two hours early to make your appointment. Finally, Jean took the time to listen to me and I felt totally comfortable telling her what sort of style and cut I wanted. She is also super intuitive and gave me some great suggestions for both my cut and color. She is excellent at her craft and I will definitely keep going back to her!!! : )

one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I had the pleasure of having Lindsey cut my hair today. She was awesome. I had had a very, very bad haircut from another salon that took over two months to grow out. I was pretty nervous to get another haircut, but I had read all these great reviews about this place. Lindsey ended up giving me a corrective haircut that was exactly what I had in mind. She listened, was attentive, and friendly. She gave me great suggestions of what to use on my hair given its texture and length. Thank you Lindsey for a wonderful cut!! You're great! :)

A 'cut' above the rest. The salon appears unassuming with its minimalistic decoration and lack of superfluous furniture, but these hair stylists, I believe, are some of the best in the business! I love how my highlights and haircut has turned out each time I've gone. They work with you to make you're getting exactly the style you're looking for. The price was on par with other salons I?ve frequented. Still, remember to ask for the discount if you?re a first-time customer.

Best highlight job EVER!. I have just returned from my first visit to The Cut salon and have never been more delighted with my results. After careful consultation with various colour charts, Jean, hailing from Dublin Ireland went to work. I have a tendency to put my complete faith and trust in stylists' judgment- isnt that what we pay them for? Today, for once, I was moe than glad I did. Jean will give you the God's honest truth- noting that my previous highlighting treatment had left my dark brown hair, in a word...'orange.' She was able to tell, right off the bat that my highlights had never been 'toned' after the initial colouring/bleaching and was sure to rectify that error this time round. As someone with extremely curly hair, one of my pet peeves is stylists' underestimating the shrinkage factor that comes into play once my hair dries- often leaving my hair an inch or two too short. Jean made sure to diffuse-dry my hair BEFORE cutting it- arguably more challenging with curly hair but it meant I walked out with a style, color and lenght that I was delighted with.

A chilled out, casual vibe envelopes this salon and the friendly staff make it a pleasure to while away an hour (or three) when those dead-ends call for it. If you can, ask for Jean- a very talented stylist who will give you the honest opinions and advice you need when it's time to make a change. And she's great craic to boot!!

Great funky salon, very talented hair cutters!. I am afraid of getting my hair cut and they were so great! They listened to what I wanted without a fuss. It was not that cheap, but it was worth it. And they did not push some overpriced product on me to buy. A definite be-back!

Talented stylist, unpretentious salon. Over a year ago, I went to the Cut Salon, because I was new to the area, saw the reviews on Citysearch, and needed a reasonably priced haircut. Needless to say, I went with little expectation. Much to my delight, I met a very talented stylist--Jean (aka "the Irish one)-- whom I have since become a loyal fan and client. She has given me great cuts and highlights in the year plus that I have been going to her (and I am often asked where I get my haircut). When I want any type of change, I ask Jean's advice, and she has given me her professional opinion about what looks good and what doesn't. I have complete faith in her talent, and think she is hilarious as well--something a Chicagoean can appreciate.

As for the salon, it is less pretentious than the other salons of Santa Monica. I have spent a lot more at other places and have been a lot less satisfied. From my perspective, excellent value and talent.

Great stylist. Ok salon.. My first visit here was better than average. Jean was my stylist and she was very friendly and skilled. She listened to what I wanted and gave me what I asked for. Highly recommended. Only critique I have of the salon was that the receptionist didn't offer or give me the discount they advertise for first time customers.

Happy with the results each visit!. I can?t say enough positive things about the Cut Salon. I get my hair cut about once every six weeks. I have been happy with the results each visit and and the atmosphere and the culture inviting and friendly. There is easy parking in the back and I have never had a problem getting an appointment that fits into my schedule. The girls that work there are friendly, outgoing and interesting. I take my children often just to say hi because of the relationship they have developed with everyone there. I would highly recommend it(and I have) to my friends and co-workers.

A must for great hair!. I don't usually write reviews but felt that The Cut Salon deserved it! Alyssa cut my hair and did an absolutely fabulous job. We sat and spoke about what I was looking for and how she would do it and all the pieces just fell together. She did exactly what she said and luckily I went on a week day during the day because I was in and out of there in 40 minutes with an amazing hair cut and she straightened my hair faster than anyone around!

Friendly staff!. My fiance's hair is curly, blond and hard to cut! At the Cut Salon they did a wonderful job and we were so impressed that he has been back twice since then. They also have affodable prices for that area of town.
