Umberto

Daniel is absolutely amazing — you must request him for your haircuts. I have been going to him for close to 10 years and even though I live in SF, I make sure to coordinate my trips to LA so I can get my haircut with him. He is very knowledgable about all kinds of hair and has a great gut instinct to know what styles look good on what face shapes. He is absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Plus the salon is beautiful and clean with a ton of open space !

The salon is beautiful and everyone is really friendly. Vika always does a fabulous job on my hair and handles my fear of scissors by showing me what she is doing throughout the duration of my haircut! She is awesome!

Always a pleasure to visit Umberto’s Daniel always takes great care of me and my family. There is a great staff and everyone always leaves happy and with great hair and nails.
I would highly recommend them.

I’ve been going to KatieRay for years. I first went to Umberto’s on Robertson after a terrible haircut… she fixed it and has done all my haircuts since. She also does my highlights, which I like looking very natural.

First time going with ombré and couldn’t decide what color and Min helped me with her recommendation and tada! Totally love it! Hubby got haircut while I was waiting. He loves his haircut too!
Min is so professional, friendly and she really put her time and effort and I am really satisfied!

After 10 years of South County hard-​as-​rock water damaging and frying my hair to oblivion, I decided I needed real help. One Keratin Treatment with Addy and the fried hair is gone! I’m not sure what modern-​day miracle is in this stuff but it changed my hairs DNA — no joke! I cannot believe how soft and manageable each strand is. No more hot blow drying, NO more flat irons… worth EVERY penny! If that’s not enough the place is impeccably clean, sleek and modern and VERY approachable. Reception ladies could not be nicer! Easy parking on street and even easier valet in the back. Addy REALLY knows what she’s doing and is as sweet as can be!!!
I should add that I’m no longer using our disgusting tap water (shame on you SM Water and MN Water districts!!) I’m protecting my investment by rinsing in spring or distilled water only! And DO buy the shampoo that Addy recommends! Again, worth every penny! Thanks Addy!

Daniel is the best! I’ve been coming here for 8 years and have always been happy with the service from everyone. I initially came only for blow outs and eventually I let Daniel cut my hair and loved it. I moved to the South Bay 6 years ago and even though it’s a drive I still come to see Daniel. He gets it. I’ve referred him to my close friends and my mom and they all love him too. He knows my style and what works for me. I don’t even bother telling him what I want he always knows what to do and does it perfectly. He’s also super fun to talk to which makes my visits such a fun experience. Daniel can do no wrong. Thank me later. :-)

Love this place! I always go to Joshua who is amazing! I have also gone to Daniel Ly, and Fabricio who are also both wonderful! Thank you Umberto Olympic!

Daniel Ly is the best — super nice, professional and does an awesome job on my hair. Please book an appointment with him ASAP if you want a great styling. He did the keratin on my hair which came out really, really nicely.

Daniel has been taking care of me and my three daughters for 10 years at umber this and always has done an amazing job. He’s always on time and uses the best products and offers advice when I ask for it on treatments. We love him. Our hair is think, long and curly and he knows just to do. He layers the hair and knows just the right style for our curly hair. We are fortunate to have found Daniel to take care of our hair.

Marta is amazing… great cuts and color. She’s a perfectionist and always wants to make sure I leave happy (which I do). She takes time, attention, and care, and makes my hair look great! I’m disappointed that Umberto recently raised their prices, but that’s not Marta’s fault. On the plus side, all the stylists charge the same amount, and they post what they charge, so you’re never surprised by the bill at the end. Highly recommend Marta!

I got my hair cut and styled here today by Daniel and it looks amazing!!! I had long hair for a while and finally decided to make the move to something shorter and fresher and Daniel took the idea I came in with and gave me something incredible! He took his time and his attention to detail is awesome. I now have a look that is modern and young and I couldn’t be happier with it! I definitely recommend Daniel for your next cut!

I’ve been seeing Daniel Ly for a few years. He has such great energy, and he is a pleasure to work with. He is great with coloring and haircuts. The studio is also very nice ! I would recommend this place highly especially Daniel!

Umberto LA is a great salon on Olympic! I’ve been going to Daniel for my cut and color for almost ten years. He does a great job of listening to what I want done, and at the same time switches up my style up to keep my look updated. Daniel also does a fabulous blow dry and style for me each time I go in. This is coming from someone who has literally cried over haircuts i didn’t like in the past, elsewhere. You are in great hands with Daniel! My brother has also gotten his cut by him, and Daniel also does a great job on guy’s hair.
At Umberto the salon is bright and airy, there in an in-​house nail salon, and they also carry a great selection of hair products. It’s always a pleasure getting your hair done here. Be ready to feel fabulous!

I’ve been going to Umberto for 15 years. Alexandra, Jackie, and Christopher (who I had for the first time yesterday) are all amazing! You might wonder why I see all 3 but it always depends on who is available given that I make my appointments very last minute. I usually get highlights and take their advice as far as my cut. They understand my hair type (thin and fine) so they know what cuts will work best. Love the new location as well.

I went here for consult because they said they use framesi color line from Italy. So I get there ask if they truly do use this color line receptionist say «Oh Yes“makes me go up a flight of stairs and an older man I guess it was Umberto (never introduces himself) as comes up he passes by my daughter which had her back turned to him he grabs the back of her hair which startles her and says nice hair and continued to ask her questions during my consult as he kept looking at her the whole time asking her and myself questions about (her) my daughter… She was not comfortable with his attention and would no answer his questions he was more interested in my daughter. although he did confirm they use framesi and then said he is a stylist .».then why the hell am I talking to you!!! I thought. He sends one of his colorist Jeff. I explain again I want to use framesi and made an appointment for 8:30 am next day and at the end of conversation Jeff says «you better come or I will hunt you down» which should of been an indication right there and the fact that my daughter expressed to me after we left she a bad feeling about this place don’t get your hair done here she was right.
So i show up next morning at 830am and as he was going to start he says he doesn’t use framesi… I said thats the only reason I came here and he started to get real defensive saying that rekin is just as good his attitude was rude and pissy… I sat there calm and just thought to myself what a bait and switch and who’s paying for this not him… How dare him speak to me (the customer) like this with such attitude .so I blew a fuse and came back at him then says «oh i like that when you come back at me ««…GO FIGURE what a narcissist unprofessional jerk… he then said he didn’t have the framesi full color line («now you tell me this») and would just do my base with framesi today not the highlights and glaze that we had scheduled so he colors half my head and walks away me as we were still going back and forth. He never came back …(I guess he really doesn’t like it when you come back at him») the colorist next to his station takes over to finish my base and Jeff was never seen again until I was leaving .he comes up to me with his hand and apologizes. what a joke .too late my friend .bad business I’m not going to pay money to get yelled at.upset. after you baited me. I’m the innocent one here. lets be honest. The owner did not charge me… thats the least he could… do he should of also taken some responsibility you don’t bait and switch people… should of saw the signs. never again…

I couldn’t be happier with Fabricio. I’ve been going to him just over 5 years now for a regular (frequent) single-​process color. He’s always on-​time, always great to be around and always does an amazing job with my hair. For a single process, I get complements all the time. So, thank you Fabricio!!! The new salon location/​space is a great change as well.

Jackie V. is a godsend. She always does a fantastic job on my hair. She recently gave me a lob and I couldn’t be happier. She KNOWS my hair and how to cut perfectly. Even though they recently raised their prices, I still will continue to go to Jackie for her excellent service.

I’ve been to everyone in town and can actually say that Flor does the best cut for long hair. She does long layers that give just enough bounce and movement to make hair come alive without losing too much length.

I love Umberto previously known as the U Salon. Joshua is fantastic and I highly recommend him. I came to him after reading several Unilocal reviews and was in desperate need of a very experienced colorist and hair stylist after my previous hairdresser messed up my color and highlights. Joshua listened and was honest about how he could help fix my previous hair dressers mistakes. He proved himself to be a master colorist and stylist and I walked out with gorgeous hair, receiving multiple compliments from family and friends. Joshua is meticulous about hair cut, style and and color and takes his time. He never double books as many hairstylists do. He has a natural talent for color and is a pro for cut and style. He books up fast due to his steady stream clientele — so don’t wait like I have mistakenly in the past until the week of to book your appointment but rather book in advance. I promise Joshua will not disappoint!

They are really good with my son.
I love the environment. Very clean and we always get greeted with a welcome.
We come here everytime we are in town.
I will become a regular

This’s a nice place to get a good hair cut !! but I’m really really recommend my only hairstyle fabrizzio he’s my only guy I can trust after so many bad haircuts !!! He cut my hair when the salon was on Robertson. now they move to better location on Olympic blv. on Beverly Hills, I’m always happy all the time !! Tnx Fab !!!

I am posting this on behalf of a friend of mine who had a terrible surprise while getting her hair done at this salon on Olympic. Apparently her stylist gave her the wrong information regarding the parking situation near to the salon. When she went out to get her car, it had been towed, costing her over $ 500 to retrieve her car.
I think the salon should give her some sort of a credit or a discount based on the fact that they didn’t inform her correctly regarding the parking. It would be a nice gesture, considering all the money that she has spent at the salon of the past several years.
It sounds like she has been pretty happy with the salon until this happened.

Daniel is an amazing colorist and stylist. I always get compliments. He recommended highlights for my mousy brown hair and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He is also a great conversationalist. He can talk about any subject and make it fun. He makes the time go by quickly while I watch his hands work his magic. If you want your hair to look fabulous, Daniel is your guy! Umberto’s on Olympic Blvd is modern, airy and beautiful. You go into this beautiful place, get your hair done by Daniel and you walk out looking gorgeous and confident.

Clean, modern and stylish salon in a large, sun-​filled space. The service is friendly and down to earth, which is not often the case when it comes to salons in this part of town. Vincy is a great stylist and will always offer suggestions on cut, color and style that compliment your hair type and attitude toward maintenance.

I really love it here. They used to be on Robertson but moved to this newer location in 2014. Their prices are really good compared to high end salons, and they always do great work. I especially like that it’s a very professional environment where you feel like they’ve done the vetting process, so you’re very likely to be in good hands.

Joshua gave me the best color and cut ever! I was introduced to him by my friend while in search for a stylist. My former-​now stylist went all Hollywood and thought that me trying to get a simple color job wasn’t worth his precious time. Well, guess what, I ended up discovering Josh. He took his time listening to my needs and wants, while making suggestions for my benefit, and i walked out with amazing color and cut. Can’t wait to see him again for my touch-​ups.

Ok, so for everyone like me who thought U Salon on Robertson Blvd. had closed for good, this location is the former U Salon it’s just called Umberto now. My stylist, Alexandria is still there and I thought I had lost contact with her since U Salon closed but fortunately not.
