Not as great as I expected

by acblue16 at Citysearch

I went to Sol Salon after reading the reviews on Citysearch and Yelp. I was not that impressed. I have long hair and wanted to keep the length. I also asked for layers in my hair and boy did I get them. Cynthia cut so much of hair for the shortest layer. I felt like i had gotten a mullet. I ended up giving myself bangs to lessen the damage of the mullet cut. Now I'm still growing out that shortest layer and looking for a new salon that won't butcher my long hair. They also charge extra from long hair. On the plus side, Cynthia was very friendly.

Best kept secret, hands down

I went on the hunt for a salon after a horrible haircut from...my sister. After shopping around on Citysearch, I settled on calling Sol Salon because of the great reviews. As soon as I walked in, I knew I made the right decision. Cynthia was awesome, she was warm and friendly, and knew exactly what she was doing. She cut my hair in cute, flippy layers, the perfect cut I'd always been looking for.

I am so impressed by this salon and will definitely be going back.

• Pros: Great staff, ambience, highly skilled, great conversation
• Cons: Parking

Fantastic Salon!

by Joeyla at Citysearch

Great experience with Cynthia! First time there and she was wonderful, listening to exactly what I wanted. She pushed me to cut bangs which I absolutely love! The price was great and the salon was great. Can't wait to go back. A thousand times better than some fussy salon in Brentwood or Beverly Hills.

• Pros: talent, friendliness, price
• Cons: None

They really know how to cut hair!

by rl459 at Citysearch

I had been wanting to change my long, straight, brown hair- always parted in the center- for a long time, but I was nervous because I couldn't remember a time when I had a really "Great" haircut. I actually found Sol Salon through the reviews on CitySearch so I wanted to continue to spread the good word! I told the stylist, Christine, that I knew I wanted something different while still keeping my hair long and without changing the color. She then took out several scrapbooks full of pictures of different hairstyles and made suggestions as to what she thought would work best on me. After reviewing my guidelines- keep it long/no dye please- I decided to just trust her and let her do whatever she thought would look best. When all was said and done, my hair looked AMAZING! Now, a few months later , my haircut has grown out extremely well and I am still getting compliments! Hooray for finally getting a truly great haircut!!!

• Pros: Convenient westside location- Lots of street parking- Friendly staff
• Cons: Not cheap

If you want an edgy look, go to Sol Salon!

by vinglish at Citysearch

I was feeling impulsive one day, and I decided to chop off my luscious glory. It was a big step for me since I've had long hair for most of my life. I was sick of it and I wanted to try something new. So, I went to a cool looking salon in Culver City on my way home from lunch. I walked in and right away, I knew this was the salon for me to experiment with my hair. The stylists who approached me first was cute, funky and I LOVED her haircut! I knew right away I was in good hands. She understood the look I was going for and she helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. She even suggested I donate my hair to Locks of Love, since I had enough hair to spare (all twelve inches.) I got the best massage during my shampoo. While feeling reluctant about cutting all my hair off, she was reassuring all the way through, which made me feel very comfortable. In the end, I got the best, cute haircut AND color I've ever gotten. I have a standing appointment for the next two months! I highly recommend to ask for an appointment with Catherine. Look for one of her fliers hanging around because you'll save quite a bit of money!

• Pros: Great coffee shop & pizza place next door and plenty of parking.
• Cons: Not enough people know about it.

You Need Some "Sol For Your Soul"? Culver City's cool & funky hair salon, Sol Salon.

by sitbobo69 at Citysearch

I discovered a few years ago that there's a cool and funky hair salon in Culver City. All the stylists are female and are really friendly and down to earth (not to mention some of them are CUTE and nice to look at). They get pretty busy in there, so like a typical guy I always call last minute to get an appointment, but they always try to accommodate you no matter how annoying you are.

I don't have a particular stylist that I go to there, 'cause I always have a good haircut with each and everyone of them. But, there's a new stylist there name Catherine, who seems to really know what she's doing. I was in there buying shampoo the other day and just happened to see her finish a pretty cool cut on a guy. I heard she used to work at one of those really high-end salons in Beverly Hills where she learned to give a really good massaging shampoo. I think my next appointment will be will Catherine.

These girls are current, hip and edgy and can change that hideous Supercut hair DON'T to a real cool hair DO!

• Pros: Massaging shampoos, parking, price, excellent service, great coffee shop next door
• Cons: can't complain
