Awesome Hair Cut & Highlights
by emmyers
June 05, 2009
I moved to LA about 9 months ago and the Hairstylist I use to see disappeared without a word. I needed a hair cut and dye job like yesterday. You know how that feels, but was hesitant to go somewhere new. The good thing about the internet is that you can always find reviews about a place. I read all the reviews before going to Trim. I couldn't believe that the reviews were all good and honest sounding.
Well the only day off I had was on Monday and decided to give Trim a try. I didn't make an appointment and just walked in around 10:00AM. I am the type of person that will trust the Universe to give me someone excellent. Well the Universe always delivers...smiles!! I got Antonio!! He took me over to his station and asked me what I needed done. After the consultation he did exactly as I asked and he is quick.
I can tell you that Antonio is a fantastic hairstylist and colorist. He has a great personality and cares about his work. You can tell he is passionate about making you look good. My hair is easy to style and he gave me that Va Va Voom factor. So, If you need an awesome Hairstylist go to Trim and ask for Antonio. But, please tell him I sent you. You will not regret it, I get compliments everywhere I go.
- Pros: Best Hair Stylist
- Cons: I didn't see any
FINALLY! Right?

I had a wonderful stylist at CHASE who is now gone and I totally freaked out! It took me 5 years of going to Salons all over Los Angeles to find him but they finally closed when I wasn't looking.
I have spent another two years looking and finally found TRIM, it is awesome! The prices are reasonable and the service is better than most Beverly Hills Salon's I've been to!
If you have difficult hair, weird cowlicks, strange hair lines or a larger than average head here is your home! There are trained and experienced hair stylists who take their job seriously and aren't trying to hand you a CD or talk about their script ideas.
I had a delightful time there and will be going back until they close or I go bald but the other services are wonderful too, the SPA is great so maybe I will go there forever!
3 Cheers for TRIM!!!
- Pros: Everything is done 5 star here!
- Cons: You haven't come here to get your hair done.

I have been trying to find a salon to go to for awhile now. I recently decided to go to trim for the first time $20 cut. I needed to get my highlights done also so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm always nervous going in for the first time, but I was desperate. I was warmly welcomed and offered a beer. It was off to a good start. I soon was introduced to my stylist Kelly. I let her know of my troubles in the past and how it has been hard to find anyone to do my hair right. She assured me it would be good this time. She actually was explaining the way she was going to do my hair and it made sense. She did my highlightes and my haircut and as I approached the mirror I was actually excited. I loved what I saw. I high recommend Kelly for color and cut. I am a happy person thanks to her!
- Pros: great salon and beer!
Finally I found a great stylist!

After living in LA for 8 years I finally found a great hairstylist, Miguel. I have been sick of my look for years and needed a dramatic change and wanted it done today! After finding "Trim" through City Search and reading the great reviews I took a chance. I was petrified to cut off my long (really long) hair and he did an amazing job on the cut and color. I feel like a new person. He was honest with me on what my hair would and would not do and it turned out great. Thank you so much for reinstating my faith that there are great stylists out there, although I won't be trying anyone new....I found my guy!
- Pros: Everything: great atmosphere, skilled stylists and who can beat the wine to calm your nerves!
best salon in venice by far

I went to Trim Salon last week and had Nik as my stylist. I have curly hair and I usually leave a place looking like Shirley Temple, and I'm a dude. Nik tackled my mop with confidence and I left with my masculinity intact. The place itself is pretty cool. Nice art on the walls and the desk girl offered me a beer while I was waiting. That was a first. I highly recommend Trim and try and get Nik if you can.
- Pros: great cut, knowledgeable stylists, cool locale, free beer

Now ive been getting my hair highlighted for years and I have never seemed to find that perfect color. You know something that is natural but really has a kick to it that people just go wow what amazing hair you have. Well my friend recomened trim and I went in, hesitant as always and I got a stylist named Victoria. I must admit I was a little nervious because she looked a bit young but right away her confidence and knowlage of color made me relax (not to mention the tasty glass of wine they give you). She said she had tons of experiences with blonds and boy did she. My hair has never looked this good i felt like i was walking out of vouge when she was through. She is a wizard. I have found my girl after all these years of coloring my hair I finally found a stylist that listened to what i wanted and gave me something even better then i expected. so thank you trim, ha and jen for refering me.
- Pros: they offer wine and beer, how can you top that
- Cons: nada
awesome

My co worker turned me on to her stylist at Trim. I really don't get my hair cut or colored all that often. Therefore I have not been loyal to anyone in particular. Moving forward, I had a great experience at Trim and have a feeling my loyalty will all change.
Dina was really friendly, and seemed to totally understand what I wanted. I'm not great at explaining what I want, but with little explanation she understood exactly what I was attempting to elaborate on.
Color? Perfect. Really natural highlights
Cut? Totally perfect. Enough said.
Its even been about a month since Ive seen her. My color is holding up well and the cut is growing out really great. Beyond perfect for someone like me who doesn't want to spend too much time at a salon.
- Pros: cool staff great results
- Cons: parking can stink

Not only can this salon staff give you great cuts and color, they know how to handle curly hair. They make curly hair look good, then they can send you home with Mixed Chicks curly hair products so you can make your self look good the next day.

I had to write about Trim , I live in the East Coast and come out here twice a year. I see Silvia who has been there for a while I guess since she has been doing my hair for 3 yrs now. 1st I walked in and didnt see her in her spot which made me nervous for a sec. but then I'm escorted to the new part of Trim in the back part of the salon, WOW, it's beautiful! Apparently it only took a couple of weeks to begin and complete it, amazing. It's kind of different than the front part but really nice, there is definetely a nice balance now, I could be wrong but it's really obvious that the owners and stylist are really dedicated to their clients. There is always great music, good drinks and great hair and the art is pretty wicked. I really dig the vibe at Trim, no pretense or cockiness, contrary to what others say. On that note, my stylist Silvia always does a great job on me, I only get my hair done by her and this time I brought my cousin to try her out, she's a tough crowd and she was very happy ;) Ok, I can go on and on so I'll stop Thank you Silvia and Trim for the great all around service!
- Pros: Ambiance
- Cons: parking
