Carlos is FANTASTIC. No, really. He is.

What a great hair cut I got! I went to Carlos because of the reviews I found on citysearch, and I was not disappointed. I think my hair is difficult to do a good job on because I usually get bad hair cuts, and I go to pretty nice places. But Carlos listened to what I wanted, told me what he was thinking and what he was going to do, and gave me a great shape of hair. He was friendly, wasn't at all mad that I was late, and easily represented the easy going but busy atmosphere of the salon. The thing is though, he did a good job of styling my hair at the end, which I could not successfully pull off at home, it basically needed to be a little shorter. I called him after it had already been a couple days, and he had me come in so that he could take a little more off. He was totally cool about it and just as friendly as he was before. He didn't charge me, of course, and I practically had to stick the tip into his hand to get him to take just a little something for his time. And, my hair looked amazing! $55 for a haircut is a little pricey for me, but not when I get something that looks as good as what he did. I can't wait til my hair grows out and I need another haircut, because it feels SO GOOD when he's done with you and sends you off into the world looking so damn good! DO NOT GO TO THIS STYLIST IF YOU WANT A BAD HAIR CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I just wanted to put something in all caps followed by an army of exclamation points.
- Pros: Awesome stylist, comfortable atmosphere.
- Cons: Its not free. Wouldn't THAT be cool?
I miss Carlos!

What can I say? My hair has never been the same since I left LA and my good friend Carlos. Carlos is attentive, easy to talk to--and most of all incredibly talented. The best part is, I found out about him from all the rave reviews he has on Citysearch. Believe them! You will not regret it.
- Pros: best cut and color EVER!

Carlos always gets right back to you, appointments are simple and easy to make. The salon is comfortable, centrally located in a great area and the people at the salon are the nicest. I always feel like I'm his only customer when I'm in his chair. Incredible hair every time!!
- Pros: Carlos is talented, friendly, intuitive and has a great eye.
- Cons: none really - he's amazing.

I have been getting my hair cut and highlighted by Carlos for the past few years. He has always done an amazing job especially considering I may have some of the thickest hair in the world;c) I am always getting compliments on my highlights and asked where I get my hair done. I always refer them to my good friend Carlos because I know he will do a fantastic job!
- Pros: great haircut, perfect color and fun conversation!
Carlos is the best!!

I found Carlos on city search and was so happy with my experience. His coloring was amazing and it was the first time I've truly loved the way my hair turned out. The salon was great and everyone was really friendly. Carlos is so nice and definitely knows his stuff. I told him to do what he wants and I'm glad I did. Having gone to many expensive salons and got mediocre service this was just the opposite. His prices are so reasonable and his coloring was much better than the others I've been to! Definitely recommend him!!
- Pros: great service, great coloring, great prices
Great haircuts - every time!

I've been a client of Carlos' for a few years now and I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed. He always seems to know how to cut my hair (which can be quite unruly sometimes). And I trust him completely. If I don't know what I want, I defer to him and he gives me something fantastic. And I never have the problem of it not looking as good the next day when I style it myself. I went to a lot of (overpriced) stylists in L.A. until I found Carlos and never felt I got my money's worth. That all changed once I found Carlos - great haircuts & coloring at a reasonable price!
- Pros: reasonable pricing, great haircuts
First class flights to LA- for first class cuts from Carlos~

I have to admit the first time Carlos and I met was a total fluke. I happened to be having a martini at the Abby on Santa Monica and saw this amazing guy with a beautiful figure. No, it wasn't Carlos,although Carlos is a very handsome young man,it happened to be one of his clients who works at the Abby. Wow,what an amazing hair cut. I had to ask "Where did you get your hair cut?".The young man responded back to me in shock that i was asking him this crazy question..but didn't hesitate to give me directions to where the Cottage was, and to ask for Carlos. I immediately tossed back my martini and went in search for this place called the cottage, to find the hair stylist I would end up becoming best friends with and having my hair styled and cut from forever. I actually lived in Miami at the time and was on vacation in LA trying to pick up guys. Well--with the hair I was slinging around--no one wanted to talk to me....BUT I finally found the Cottage and also Carlos.He greeted me with open arms--even though I am sure he was thinking-WOW-what a messed up hair cut I had!!!He sat me down with a glass of water and a magazine while he managed to squeeze me in during one of his color treatments he was doing on a petite yet fabulous lady.Oh boy-was I ready for this cut. My hair was kinda shaggy-no direction-and very hard to maintain.I was in need of a cut that was above the rest..And I certainly got it. Carlos not only gave me a fabulous hair cut..but he also introduced me to a wonderful Machine that I use almost every day.THE FLAT IRON:) Oh-How magically it turned my hair from southern hick boy, into Hot LA Stud! Thank you Carlos--You are not only a wonderful hair stylist, but also have become a wonderful friend. If anyone is tired of there old hair cut, nasty attitude salon, or just want to try something new..I would highly recommend Carlos at the Cottage as my only suggestion. Good luck on your venture finding the cottage and have a very Happy Hair day~ Antonio
- Pros: Very easy to find, total celebrity atmoshpher, and wonderful personalities from everyone

I strongly recommend going to Carlos for your hair-cutting & styling needs. Unlike most stylists out there, Carlos is extremely warm and friendly. He listens to your needs, and determines the best strategy to get you the look you want.
In additional to the pleasant atmosphere, Carlos does not charge an ?arm & a leg?. He is very affordable and reasonable. You will be impressed with his skills. My hair has never looked better. Thanks Carlos?.
- Pros: Great service
Carlos will never disappoint - he is the best - keeps you looking young and hip!

My daughter brought me to Carlos 10 years ago after I had complained about my dated hairstyle. I needed something new and different so let Carlos give me a new style. I have been having him style my hair ever since then and it looks fabulous and very youthful. I have a short haircut and when he cuts my hair, he is very confident and gives the client the feeling that he knows what he is doing. I have to travel to The Cottage from the South Bay area which is an hour long drive, but it is worth it. Thank you, Carlos!!!
