Lauren's Salon Spa

04/25/2008 Posted by stafa

I can't say enough about this salon! I have been going to Michelle forever and she is by far my favorite stylist in the world. She finally found a salon that uses all natural based products and cares about how you look and feel while you are there. I go order my lunch next door or have a glass of wine and just relax. It has been a great experience everytime I go and see her. She takes her time with you to make sure she knows exactly what you want. I aslo love the fact it is a full service salon. I get my facials and nails done there too! .

Pros: getting your feet rubbed while getting your hair done!! the best!!

Cons: none

I've made the permanent move from Chicago to LA and needed someplace to get my hair relaxed. Since my hair is unusually textured, I've been really concerned about finding the right place to have my touch-ups. Lauren herself called me up after I made my appointment to discuss what I needed, and she booked my appointment with Jamie. I went in this morning and let me tell you, I've already made a second appointment for a cut! Jamie is so fun and sweet, and he really listened to me about what I needed. He is very precise about everything and takes his time, but it still didn't take longer than usual for the touch-up. All the other stylists seemed very nice and the vibe is laid-back glamour. Loved it. And the pricing is DEFINITELY right.

Pros: everything

Cons: none that I saw or experienced.

I love the way Michelle does my hair and wouldn’t have anyone else do it! She takes the time to listen to what I want done. She’s very precise and diligence in her coloring and cutting. Michelle has a great personality and caters to her clients’ comfort and needs. The salon is very clean and welcoming; it’s very open and airy. It located in a great location next to Kings Road Café which great because you can coffee and lunch while you are getting your hair done.

Pros: Open seven days a week

Cons: none

Isabel has cut and highlighted my hair for the last decade. Before getting to her I was on a hairdresser crusade, and not one matched up to her. You know why—Isabel really truly cares for her clients and their looks; you’re not just a "quick buck head of hair." No one in LA cuts a better “Bob” than her, or cuts better. Period. It’s always perfect, and the highlights blend in so well with my natural hair that you see the effect, but wouldn’t know I added some color. Also, I’m really happy Isabel/Lauren’s Salon Spa moved to their present location, next door to the King’s Road Cafe. The salon is spacious and you’re treated like a queen (including a complimentary glass of wine if you wish). Oh, and the price for her hairdos is right, too!!!!

I was just in at Lauren's Salon for the first time and had Michelle give me the best make over ever. I had lifeless dull hair that didn't really do anything right. Now I have amazing highlights that brighten my eyes and make my skin even look better. I never realized how much color can truly affect your overall appearance. I am definetly going back. Thanks to Michelle I am more confident than I have ever been.

Pros: So flexible and open everyday!

Cons: Can't have Michelle do my hair every morning before work!

Want someone who really understands color and knows how to make your hair look beautiful????? Go to Isabell. I have gone to the best salons in Beverly Hills and paid top dollar and no one has done as good a job with my color as Isabell. She has a real talent for color especially for Blondes!!! I get compliments all the time from total stangers!!! Isabell really cares about her clients and about making them happy. She listens to what your intended desire is....... and makes it become a reality! Isabell is truly a talented hair stylist in the truest sense of the word!!!!

I have been coming to Michelle for years now and everytime I go back I am so grateful that I found her. My hair was in major distress. I was a bleach blonde mess and needed some TLC. Michelle was like a breath of fresh air. She got my hair shiney, & longer than it's ever been and I still have the blonde that I love. All of my friends love her too! You gotta try her!!!!!

Pros: You leave feeling beautiful

Cons: I will probably gain 10 lbs from the free chocolate they give you

I was in desperate need of fixing my roots and new to the area so I called around a few places and decided to try Lauren's Spa. Since I was a new customer, Lauren (the owner) wanted to take the time to talk to me personally to discuss what I was looking for in order to make sure I got just what I wanted. She was extremely friendly and because I wanted blond highlights recommended Caitlin to me. They were able to fit me in last minute on a busy Saturday even though I called Friday evening. Caitlin specializes in blonds and seriously did an amazing job. She's a perfectionist and really listened to what I wanted. If you're looking for a high-end trendy place that isn't pretentious this is the place to go. Caitlin was a really awesome and down to earth--no awkward convos. Anyways, left with just what I wanted..if you're going blonde ask for Caitlin!

I followed Shelly from another salon in the area, and I am so glad I did! Never have I had such excellent customer service. Not to mention, she is the best colorist ever - hands down. My hair was plain, long and mousy brown. I was a little nervous about changing it up, but she was so awesome I relaxed. She turned my long boring hair into a trendy, beautiful blonde bob and I haven't stopped getting compliments!!!! Each time I go she does something different, and that's always my favorite visit! (till the next visit anyway...LOL) The spa itself is very comfortable and not snooty at all. The foot massage therapist they have is amazing! Nothing is better than getting your feet massaged while your hair is getting done - that's an experience I highly recommend! The only downside of the entire experience is the parking, so I suggest having someone drop you off if you can. Other than that, I always look forward to my "hair day". Shelly is a true artisan at her craft of creating the perfect head of hair :-) I can't recommend her enough!

Pros: Professional and Personable Staff, Comfortable atmosphere

Cons: parking is hard to find

I have had my two-process color done in the most expensive salons in Los Angeles and NYC, but NO ONE does it as consistently or as well as Isabell Csaki. All her customers agree that she is the best. We would follow her anywhere. Her prices are reasonable too. Lauren's salon is comfortable and a lovely white. The staff is friendly and the Isabell's color is fanstastic. Try Isabell! You won't be sorry.
