Kristal Rose aka "The Hair Extraodinaire!

by CSMobileUser

I just got the best hair cut ever! I used to have very long hair and decided to go short like Rhianna's do. It ended up turning out awful!! So, a friend of mine referred me to Kristal Rose at Goo. Even thought she didn't have a lot to work with, she rocked it out!!!! Kristal Rose did such an AMAZING AMAZING job!!! I have never had so many compliments on my hair than I did after she fixed it. It has been growing out so nicely that I still get compliments on it. I would refer Kristal Rose to anyone, and will follow her anywhere she goes!!

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Go see Tonya for Eyebrow Waxing and Shaping!

by kczubrin120

I have been going to Tonya for a few years now, and she is now working at Goo Salon! Tonya is fantastic at what she does, and I really do think she does the best eyebrows in Los Angeles. She shapes them in a way that works best for your type of face, and it doesn't even hurt that bad. She's extremely nice and very professional as well. She also does eyelash tinting, makeup, etc. She works a few days a week so call ahead to make an appointment. Love Tonya!

Best. Damn. Haircut. Ever.

by gmoma

Josh, super stylist at Goo, has been cutting my hair for almost 6 years. I now live in the San Francisco area but still travel to Los Angeles to get my haircut. The boy is a genius with scissors. He is so friggin' talented. I have really thick, wavy, coarse hair with all sorts of weird cowlicks but I always leave Goo feeling so completely gorgeous and chic. Josh listens to what I need and he cuts my hair so that it fits my lifestyle. I'm a little adventurous so we tend to have fun with my shorter hair, but the outcome is always flattering and I feel so special when I walk out of there. Molly and everyone else at Goo are truly so sweet and they are part of the reason I love getting my hair cut.

If this review sounds like a love letter, that's because it is. If you saw my "before" pictures, you would totally get what I am talking about. Josh has changed my life and it is such a pleasure knowing him and Molly. I look forward to many more years of excellent haircuts and great company.

• Pros: Life-changing haircuts
• Cons: May cause feelings of overwhelming love

Best haircut in L.A.

by hdove

After having my hair butchered a few too many times, I finally found Goo. Molly is a genius and I will never trust anyone else with my hair again.

• Pros: Great Haircuts, Great People, Best Value

Pooch Johnny (named for actor Depp, of course) and the rest of the crew at this Fairfax salon bring fun, familiarity and style to the L.A. beauty shop scene.

by Cadien Clark

This salon is impossible to miss on the corner of Fairfax and Rosewood; not just because of the vibrant electric blue-toned decor, Pucci-esque patterned walls and enormous lavender chandelier, but because of the friendly family atmosphere on a block now full of barely civil sneaker pros and skater punks. Owner Molly Scargall and collaborator Josh Kaplan have been trimming, styling and coloring tresses together since Vidal Sassoon beauty school, and they have a dedicated following to show for it. Kristal also gets funky with a pair of scissors, while makeup artist Cara and stylist Natalie round out the shop's team.

Love Goo, love Josh

by varlette

I recently made the horrendous mistake of not going to Josh, who I usually see, when I was in desperate need of a trim. I regret letting anyone else's hands near my head and can't wait for Josh to swiftly fix the mistakes of the incompetent. Also, his highlights are subtle and gorgeous. He really communicates with his clients. I sent a friend there and she called to thank me profusely after she left. I was recommended by a friend who is a long time client as well. The mark of a true professional!

• Pros: Skill, Relaxed environment, Value
• Cons: Parking

The Fiercest Salon in all of Los Angeles

by noonanjs

I don't know what that killjoy Brit is talking about, Salon Goo is just about the best place to spend a Saturday afternoon. Ever. The staff is extremely skilled and lovely, the haircuts are worth driving 500 miles for (I know, I did), and no one I've ever recommended has been disappointed. It's a little like hanging out with your best friends and playing with your hair, then leaving looking absolutely fabulous and only 65 bucks poorer. I'd like that previous reviewer to find me a better cut and color in LA. Pronto.

• Pros: Value, Skill, Hair
