Fabulous Hair Salon!! Great Keratin Treatment
by Benni at Citysearch
I love Taka Salon and I fly out from NYC at least twice a year to get the Coppola Keratin Treatment and haircut. I have tried other salons in NYC and to me Taka is definitely number one and is worth the flight out to LA! Everyone who works there is so professional and really cool. Marvel is fantastic (and super nice) and my hair feels like silk after she gets done with the Keratin treatment. This salon is worth every cent and my hair still looks fabulous. Thanks Marvel you are the best :-)

Just the Perfect Haircut!
by anusiia at Citysearch
Just got my hair cut at Taka Hair Salon and its fabulous! I have beautiful never-dyed/permed/treated long long hair, which I'm very fond of and very careful with. I hate going to salons because I have never been happy with the results... until now! Toshi cut my hair and gave me beautiful front layers. He got my hair lo...oking exactly the way I wanted it. Just perfect!
- Pros: very well cut hair by Toshi! exactly how i wanted it!

so happy with the results and the experience!

Does it get any better than this?! No, it does not. I went to get my hair relaxed a few weeks ago using the Keratin treatment and I have been raving about it ever since. I have extremely, extremely curly hair (ringlets) and it is very time consuming to dry and style it every day. However, I was a little hesitant to get the Japanese thermal straightening, which they also do here, because I like having body in my hair. I went for a free consultation and they were very helpful and not at all pushy. They suggested doing Keratin, which is a semi-permanent relaxer that holds for about 3 months and it still leaves body in your hair. It's also better when your natural curls start to regrow at the roots. It blends better than the Japanese thermal straightening. They also told me in my consultation that it would take about 3 hours. I went back the following weekend and Ken did my hair. He was super nice and kept asking me if he could get me anything, if I was comfortable through the whole process and what I especially appreciated was that he did the treatment in exactly 3 hours on the dot. He recommended products to use and also explained what ingredients I should avoid in shampoo in case I wanted to buy products elsewhere. Now my hair is easy to manage, super shiny and feels so much healthier. If you have ever considered Japanese straightening or Keratin GO HERE!! And if all of this wasn't perfect enough .. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE PARKING. Thank you Taka! I'll see you in Feb. for my next Keratin treatment.
- Pros: friendly, professional staff; keratin treatment!
- Cons: none whatsoever

my fave salon!
by nabiya at Citysearch
i wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair! i usually request kiyoko and she's fantastic! on a couple occasions i've had different stylists and i have always been happy with my experience. they are really meticulous and i love that they don't try and sell me products. i actually end up picking up a few things anyway :) they have bumble and bumble and this one japanese shampoo that's great for people like me who insist on washing their hair everyday. they also have different promotions and specials each month that are worth checking out.
- Pros: took a picture of a hair style that i wanted to try and they adjusted it to work with my hair type, looks great!
- Cons: expensive but it's worth it
