The vibe of the salon is amazing! Decor is fabulous, music is fabulous, the salon assistant David is fabulous and Judy is PHENOMENAL! I've been terrified to try anywhere new since three tragic visits to other well-reputed salons around LA, so I've been flying 3 hours to go back to my hometown to a Schwarzkopf certified stylist I've been seeing for 10 years. But, alas, my dear stylist a 3-hour plane ride away is no longer needed because I've found JUDY at Salon Pure! (Also well-versed in Schwarzkopf. which to anyone who isn't familiar with that name should know equates to color brilliance and know-how.) I've got surprisingly hard-to-color-hair, but Judy didn't flinch at it! She has the ability to do what many are unable to do: make a girl with brown eyebrows look like a natural blonde -- if you desire, as I did, she will apply the finest, most precise and natural appearing highlights you have ever seen and you don't leave this salon with roots (you know what I mean, when you get a highlight touch-up and the new starts about a quarter inch from the root) -- not here! Judy lifts the color from the root without causing bleeding to nearby roots and compromising the look -- serious talent. AND!!!!! 15% off to first time visits! Prices are totally reasonable to begin with (actual WAY underpriced given the level of talent, but shh, don't tell, I prefer to tip the talent than to pay the salon), but the 15% off makes your fist visit crazy affordable! And even better (and quite refreshing for the service industry in So Cal), they aren't going to try to pressure upsell you on ish you don't need! I went in for a full highlight, fully prepared to pay big bucks, but Judy studied my hair before starting and instead recommended a partial -- generally, I'm not a fan of partials since I pull it back a ton, but she did a highlight around the perimeter so I can pull it back and no one knows but me -- seriously looking out for MY interest, not her own - Someone I now totally trust!
Pros: TALENT! Atmosphere, Staff, Price
Cons: None!
