Suburbia Salon & Spa

05/10/2008 Posted by karenmantell

Lenny Strand has been coloring my hair for more than fifteen years. . My hair has never been less than perfect, the condition is great, and I have never been disappointed. He is really an expert at choosing the right formula to achieve the best result. In all the years that i have seen him for my hair coloring, i have never seen any interaction between him and a client that is not pleasant. And that' cannot always be easy!! It amazes me that he has so many "client-friends." i usually go to Point de Vue for my appointments with him, but sometimes to Suburbia where it is a bit more hectic. I agree that it certainly is possible to get coloring for less money, but you get what you pay for!

Pros: Lenny does a great job!

I have to say if you want a hair stylist that not only consistantly amazes me ,my friends and co-workers, with her talents, you must see Christine. She listens! She cares! She makes sure you leave happy ! I reluctantly write this as she is already too busy& I hate having to get out of her chair ! I must however give her props! She keeps me laughing and looking hot ! What could be better ? She colors and cuts and has at least four prior assistants now also working as great stylists at Suburbia. She is also cute as H. So be good to your self and call ahead , a visit with Christine S. is a treat ! Loving L.

Pros: fun vibe

Cons: on hold long time

I just moved to the valley and wanted to find someone more local. I used to go to Anastasia in Beverly Hills but Julie is much better. She took her time to listen and my eyebrows came out perfect. I have these thick bushy unruly brows and nobody has ever made them look this good. She also did my brazilian and omg was she great. She was fast and did a really clean job. Not to mention it didn't hurt that much. I found my girl and I will never go anywhere else.

I am a commitment-phobe in all areas of my life including hairstylists! I find myself being disappointed with my stylists after the first cut and ultimately find a new one after one or two visits. I live in San Diego but visit Los Angeles regularly. One weekend I felt like I needed a haircut and on a whim made an appointment with Angela at Suburbia. My first cut and highlight experience was outstanding, but I was skeptical... could she do it again? Needless to say, I have been back for three additional visits and now I work around my visits to LA to schedule my haircuts! I had an event on a Sunday recently and Angela came in early in the afternoon on her day off to create a elegant up-do for me. I received many compliments on my hair that evening! I gave her credit each time!!! I love her work, and she is so incredibly upbeat and personable. I have finally committed to one stylist! Angela rocks!

Pros: Warm friendly environment, everyone from the check in girl to my fabulous stylist, GREAT cuts and color

Cons: None!

Let me start by saying I hate getting my hair cut. I never like the cut or the way hairstylists blow-out out my hair - always too "poofy." Plus, I can never seem to replicate the blow-out at home. Well, Mary at Suburbia changed my thinking totally. She gave me a great hair cut - I had all one length hair and asked her for long, luscious layers because I felt my hair at one length was pulling my face down and making me look, well, a little like a 1970's Breck girl. Mary gave me the greatest cut I've ever had and I had it cut 3 weeks ago and I'm able to replicate the look she gave me in the salon at home! She's also a real sweetheart. Lovely, kind, conversational and easy going. I highly recommend her to anyone.

I just recently moved to LA, and I have been struggling to find a place to do my long hair. A friend recommended this place....and I have never been disappointed. The service is wonderful, the people are friendly...and the prices are extremely competitive with the market. People always ask me if my hair color is natural.....YEAH RIGHT! They do that great of a job. Jenn the owner is wonderful...and I always feel like I am special client when I go to see them. Worth a visit!

I came here after going to other big named hair salons that treat the 'it' stars of today because I just couldn't pay for $400 highlight jobs anymore and the $200 cuts. I liked that the salon was upfront about their pricing, displaying it on their website, so I called and was recommended to Angela. I went in on a thurday afternoon and didn't have to wait any longer than 2 minutes, so I didn't have any bad luck when it came to possible overbooking. I went in for blonde highlights (which i already had but i wanted more) but also decided I wanted a funky look so I also asked for the hair underneath to be dyed dark brown. Now I am a VERY cautious person when it comes to hair, i prefer the natural look, but the half-blonde/half-brown idea was appealing, so i stressed to her that I didnt want it to look as extreme as most girls do it, where its practically white on top with black underneath. She was very understanding and in my opinion did a great job! She used these wrap things, i dont remember what they were called, but they were less damaging to my hair then highlighting it in foil pieces and then baking under the dryer. And she went less extreme with the dark half making it brown/slightly auburn, so it wasnt so harsh looking over time and would be more unique than the cliche version. Great experience, oh, and DEFINITELY do the Valet parking, it is FAR less hectic.

Pros: Friendly staff, easy to find, color's just as good as big name salons

Cons: valet park--anything else and you could regret!

I've never had a better experience at a salon in my life! Tanya Porter is just phenomenal and the compliments that I get on my hair are amazing. Thanks Tanya for changing my life...I feel so free and beautiful. Michaela :)

whether ur brows need a new shape or just a touch up, you should definitely go to Erin to get them waxed! I had never gotten my eyebrows waxed before, but they were getting out of control and something needed to be done about them. Erin made me feel totally at home and the results were great!! In fact, when my friend was visiting from MD, she wanted to get her eyebrows re-shaped so i brought her to Erin and she made them look 10x better...no offense to my friend. And even though I moved out of the valley, i still travel back to get them done by her!

Pros: water, bagels & coffee readily available, friendly staff

Cons: only metered parking in front, definitely worth it to pay $3 for valet

Very hip but no pressure salon, parking not great but worth the $3 to valet. Lots of great stylists, try Tina, and for color the master of all colorists Lenny. You'll love it!
