very good stylists that can work magic on your hair by megan f. at InsiderPages

Contributor at Insider Pages

I have very long hair and some stylists really dont know what to do with it. The stylists here help me to select different hair styles that let me keep my hair long. They do such a good job that their business keeps them booked for weeks ahead of time. Highly recommended.

PROS: experienced, helpful, creative

CONS: very very busy

Best in El Segundo

by karma66 at Citysearch

I have been a loyal client of Grand Illusions ever since 2000. It has became much better after the new ownership in 2003. I have watched this salon grow from an "old lady blue hair" salon to a modern and beautiful setting. Who ever wrote about the "nails" is completely LYING because they have not had a manicurist in this salon since 2000, so you should do your research first before you present your LIES. Thank you for making every experience fantastic!

• Pros: Overall look, experienced stylists
• Cons: No

there the best kept secret!!

by wahine213 at Citysearch

I went to Grand Illusions, and had a bit of a different experience. The employees there were so warm and friendly. I have never felt so comfortable, it were as if I had known them forever. Gia gave me highlights and a haircut, she put so much time and effort into giving me just what I wanted. Other places I have been have made me wait around and shoved me aside while they worked on other people, but not here I had full attention. I highly recommend Grand Illusions for that small town feeling that we just don't see enough of these days!

• Pros: lots of experience, and warm cozy atmosphere

My Hair was Butchered.

by mandyweg at Citysearch

Do not go here. I went here for a trim and ended up getting my hair BUTCHERED. The stylist thinned out the bottom of my hair so it looked limp and flat. She gave me more bangs and cut random bangs in the middle of my head. I looked almost as if I had a mullet. I was so upset I cried nonstop until I went to another salon to get it fixed. I was going to go back and demand a fix for free, but when I called, the stylist gave me a bit of attitude. This was the worst haircut I've ever recieved. Everything that I said I didn't want, she gave me. She thinned out my thick, gorgeous hair for godssakes! It was a disaster. I still have to wait for those random short hairs in the middle of my head to grow back, but after going to the Parlour on 3rd, my hair looks much better and I don't have to cry when I look in the mirror anymore.

• Pros: None whatsoever
• Cons: inept stylists that don't listen to a word you say
