Jim Wayne Salon

Love my cut!!! Naomi was amazing. She has a great personality. I felt like I’ve known her for a long time. I loved that she was taking her time and making sure that I was happy with the result.
I’ve been working in Beverly Hills for 2 yrs now and I have never thought to get my hair done near the office, only because the area still intimidates me. But this place has me wanting to come back.
Aside from Naomi, the person who booked my appointment was very nice and accommodating. I will also say that the young lady who washed my hair was amazing too. She almost put me to sleep. Lol.
Overall, Thank you guys.

This is the best salon in Beverly Hills. Nobody cuts long hair like Jim Wayne. I have been going here for years and I love it. Amazing service. Love the people. Great location. I seriously love the hairstyling and the the blowouts!!! I come here every single week for my hair. I work in the entertainment industry and good hair is so important. Thanks Jim for making me look so great!!! I highly recommend this spot!

Debi and Alina are gone to their own salon. They were what made this place. Without them it’s not the same. Definitely skip it now.

Came from Las Vegas to have my hair done, Love my hairstylist Luis did an amazing job. If you want a new color change and hair do I recommend him in a heart beat. Thank You Luis for such an amazing job Love my hair color and hi-​lights.

Our family has been coming to Jim Wayne Salon for nearly 20 years to have haircuts by ANNE SIBTHORPE. She does an amazing job with all hair types. My daughters also get excellent skin care from Octavia. So when my daughter wanted to try subtle highlights as a graduation gift, I felt comfortable sending her across town to the salon. She was assigned to NAOMI who bleached stripes into her hair and she looked like someone dumped a bowl of spaghetti on her head. The toner she reluctantly applied in an attempt to correct the disaster turned her hair green. She never showed her sample colors or discussed options and was very defensive. All in all it was a horrible waste of time and $.

Jim was classically trained by Vidal Sassoon and I am always impressed by the technical expertise he demonstrates with my hair cuts. I drive all the way from Thousand Oaks every 6 weeks to have Jim cut my hair and I am never disappointed. I like the assistants and other folks on his team as well… they are all very professional.

Saw Naomi for a cut today on a recommendation from a co-​worker. I never get my hair cut professionally, mostly because every time I have someone else trim my bangs for me I look like a 9 year old for two weeks (I’m suuuper into my bangs). But I was looking for a really good revenge/​psychological warfare haircut, and that’s way out of my wheelhouse. Naomi made my bangs short enough so that I could see out of both eyes, but kept the shape I like, and actually made them look edgier than I could achieve by myself, so I definitely don’t look like a small child, (which is great because now I can wear pigtails and it won’t be over the top).

I also informed her that I had terrible split ends because I never get my hair cut unless there’s gum in it, but that I didn’t want her to take any length, and threw in a «whatever you think» to make it really clear. She basically made my hair look way better while tricking my brain into thinking it’s still exactly the same length. She may be a witch.

I loved the Brazilian treatment for my hair. Naomi and Chelsea were rurally awesome. I loved it. Thank you for the wonderful time.

Renee is the best! I recommend anyone who wants to get color done to see her :)
I was a scared at first since I had been seeing my hair stylist/​colorist since I was just a kid but now I know I can come see Renee. I trust her completely. She listens to what you have in mind and gives her honest opinion.
After the whole experience I felt like I really made a friend and she made me feel like a million bucks walking out the door. I’m definitely going to be coming back here and bringing my friends along!

I cannot say enough good things about the salon. The receptionist at the front is outstanding, and probably the most professional, warm and kind person I’ve met in the salon atmosphere. Naomi cut my hair and was fantastic. She understood exactly what I wanted when I explained it to her, even though I don’t have the terminology or a lot of knowledge about cutting hair. She was able to fix the previous haircut (from another salon) that had not gone so well. Naomi gets my highest recommendation!

5 stars! Naomi is my stylist and she is the best of the best! I was new to LA, now 4 months, and was referred by a friend of mine. I have been every month now, and I refuse to go anywhere else!
I was a little intimidated as it is in the heart of Beverly Hills, and this salon has quite a prestigious reputation, but when I walked in, I immediately felt welcomed and was seated right away.
Naomi is extremely knowledgeable and patient, as I am always nervous and very particular, yet unable to really explain what I want done. It wasn’t a problem for Naomi though, as her knowledge and skill really helped me to be able to describe what it was I wanted, she didn’t miss a beat.
The whole process was great. The conversation was fluid as she is fun and easy to talk to. My hair came out perfect and without a doubt, really the best hair cut I have ever received.
I now recommend Naomi and the salon to everyone I know.
Naomi has a lifetime client!

Lisa Shapiro is the best colorist and haircut in town. She has mastered that way of making my hair look like its just that fabulous all on its own. Really, with out her its boring, bland and flat. Love her!

I came here on a Gilt City deal ($ 150 for full highlights and blow out). Vincent was extremely professional, timely and friendly. He provided exactly the service/​color I was hoping for and my hair looks amazing.
Salon is located in center of Beverly Hills (Little Santa Monica/​Camden) such a great location with lots of parking structures close by
Highly recommend Vincent for blonde highlights! Will certainly be back :)

Bryan is thee colorist. From brilliant blondes to vibrant reds he is skilled to give you celebrity-​like haircolor. His energy is comforting to where I can trust his judgement on anything.
Homer will give you a good buzz in Beverly Hills. I like my sides short, clipper short. This guy got the tools to turn you out…

I go to Bryan Nielsen for my color and I seriously have never been happier. Bryan is one of those sweet, genuinely nice guys who you don’t ever feel like is secretly mad at you for being annoying and OCD about your hair — he gets it. :)
He always makes me feel comfortable whether I am hungover and just want to chill or I want to diverge all of my latest gossip. He doesn’t mind if you check in on what he is doing to make sure the result is going to be what you want! He really wants you to like your hair. Super patient guy.
Also my hair always looks ON POINT when I leave. I go for a natural blonde look and he nails it every time with care and precision. Glad I found Bryan!

The owner, who cut my hair, is a nice man, very personable, and spent time with me, but sadly, I did not get a good cut at this salon. Unilocal reviews were good, so I’m not sure what happened.
My long hair was in desparate need of a trim, the layers were almost all grown out so it looked to be all one length. I asked that the front sides be slightly angled with movement around the bottom of the whole doo, to give the doo lift and bounce. I let him know that I wanted to avoid that bubble look at the sides that sometimes happens [when a stylist gets too jiggy with the scissors], but that’s exactly what happened. Basically, I got a blunt cut in the front to my chin, no angle, and then it just drops to long hair. [You know how long it took me to grow those sides out, right?] No graduating to the long. Just short, then long. And, it’s uneven, one side is longer than the other, as was remarked by a friend. To give you a visual, the short panels in the front are wide, so straight on, I look like I have a chin length bob. When I pull some hair from the back around to the front to show I have long hair, the sides looks stringy. And, the «movement» thing I was talking about, well, that didn’t happen either.
My hair will grow back, but I am three weeks away from a very important event, and therefore heartbroken. If I can figure out how to attach a before and after picture, I will. $ 155 plus tip.

Jim has been cutting my hair for years. I was a away for a several months trying to find a salon closer to where I live. I’ve done that a few times in the past. I ALWAYS return because there is simply no other person who can cut my hair the way he does.
I absolutely love my haircuts from him. Strangers often stop me in the street telling me what a great haircut I’ve got… but I already know that.

Wolf is the best hairstylist I ever had! My old hairstylist burnt my hair, it was in patches, with color that did not match. My boyfriend took me to Wolf to try and fix this mess. I was discouraged and did not believe he would be able to do a miracle… BUT HE DID! He advised me well, fixed my color, gave it a sexy cut and the product i got from him makes my hair feel much healthier. The product is called the Nectar of God’s which you spray after you wash your hair. It leaves it shiny and healthy looking. It really helps with split ends.
Wolf is a professional, knows what he is doing and the end result is unbelievable. Now that I found him I will never let anyone else touch my hair. Daniela

I had never heard of JW Salon until i was raving about a friend’s new hair cut and she revealed that Homercuts — stylist to the celebrities and a local celebrity himself — was the master who created her work of art. After working my way in to his busy schedule the first time, I was immediately jockying for the position of # 1 groupie! Not only is he sexy and funny, he rocks his scissors with the precision of a neurosurgeon — every time he cuts my hair my hotness level increases at least 50% (if not more)! Long story short, don’t walk — RUN to Homercuts!
So as you know from my former review of my crush Homercuts, Im a fan of JWS. My visit there today was no exception. I had the pleasure of getting my hair high and low lighted by Wolf — love his swashbuckler mustache and gorgeous hair! Not only did he fit me in at the last minute, but he got the color perfect and was super efficient. All of this after I had managed to really «F» it up thinking I could just color my roots myself (as I told Wolf — I must have been drunk when I made that brilliant decision). I left the salon with hair color that looked natural instead of a color that I’m pretty sure does not — and believe me should not — exist in nature! Thanks Wolf for the fabulous job!

I’ve been going to this salon for the last 6 years and I love it. I get my hair styled and cut by Tomo. I completely trust his opinion on what will look good; he points out things I didn’t think about (like how much care a style will take), and explains how my hair will fall in certain cuts (I have cowlicks and «trouble» spots). I’ve changed my hairstyle a million times with him and before, I never had the confidence to do that — I had the same hair from age 9 — 27! Tomo is a total perfectionist and I feel like he understands what I’m looking for — something low maintenance but with effortless style. Believe me, that’s not easy when all I can commit to is maybe a blowdryer and the occasional flat iron. My hair is lucky it gets shampooed and conditioned on a regular basis.
The salon has decent hours, they’re open Saturdays and late on Thursdays, and there’s easy parking in a metered lot, which is free after 6pm. I feel like the cost is average for the neighborhood, and average for a good haircut at a salon. The service is great, no complaints!
