Layla The Salon

I went to Layla after reading the good reviews on Unilocal,but I was really disappointed. She barely spent any time on my hair and the final product was not what I had asked for in the beginning (I even showed her a picture). The worst part was that she did not work with my existing highlights when creating layers and now my hair looks spotty.

I moved here from Wisconsin and needed to find a great stylist in my neighborhood. I found Layla using Unilocal.If you are new to the area, she gives you a certain percentage off of your first hair cut.
I am very pleased with her work as well as her company. She is very friendly and accommodating. The cost of the haircut is just right, not as outrageous as the surrounding salons. I only get my haircut every few months, but it is always an enjoyable experience.

Just like most of you it is very hard to find the right stylist. I’ve been driving out to Orange County from Santa Monica now for about a year because of bad experience with trying out new stylist however driving to OC was getting a lil pricey so I did my research. Layla is literally around the corner from my place. The price was right and with all the positive reviews I thought I would give her a try.
Layla did an amazing job with my hair. I have an A line hair cut so having someone who takes their time is key for me. She pay attention to details and shows she loves doing her craft. She’s such a sweet lady. I would definitely come back to her again.

Layla the Salon is the perfect place to go to get your hair done. Ashley has been doing my hair for the past 2 years. I get my color, blow-​out and ombré styled with him. My hair is very frizzy and difficult to manage but it seems to be an easy task for him. I am very satisfied with his work and I always walk out getting compliments on my hair.

This is a review for my visit almost three years ago, but it was for a special event, so of course I remember it very well. ;)
She was very accomodating and we had a trial session in which she arranged my hair six ways to Sunday so I could decide which style would be perfect for «the big day.»
That session cost half as much as the actual day, but she did a great job and ignored the photographer who was snapping shots like a paparazzi and served mimosas and chocolates as part of the whole deal.
The only thing she didn’t do well was secure my veil comb in the back, but my thrice-​blessed bridesmaids made sure it wasn’t going anywhere with tons of bobby pins.
I thought she was a bit pricey for a regular hairdo (only one of my bridesmaids decided to get her hair done there with me), but she did some pretty good work.

Absolutely love this place, especially Layla herself. I hadn’t gotten my haircut in 7 months and was beginning to feel uncivilized. Layla changed that and gave me a beautiful haircut. She has great technique and is very precise. Lovely person to talk to as well while getting your haircut. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

After you move, you need to find the quintessential services: the nearest post office, a cute café, and of course… a great hair salon. I did what every good Unilocaler would do and found Layla the Salon and was blown away by the awesome reviews. But, being the typical L.A. skeptic, I went in not expecting much.
Well, you know that feeling when you first meet someone and you just know deep down in your gut that you’re going to be friends with them? That’s how I felt when I walked into Layla’s salon. The quaint little place just seemed so cute and accommodating, at that point I didn’t care if I walked out of there with a lopsided mohawk. Fortunately for me though, Layla knows hair and I got undoubtedly the best haircut /​color of my life!
My whole experience there was amazing. Not only did she make me and my locks feel pampered, but she really does a great job of giving you tips for your hair and understanding the whole styling process. And she does it in a way that makes you feel like you’re chatting with an old friend, not in the typical «I’m so clearly trying to sell you something» kinda way. She was also the first stylist I had that I really felt listened to me and what I wanted.
If there’s one thing Layla knows better than hair, it’s how to treat her clients. While I was waiting for my color to dry, she made me coffee (just the way I like it!) and brought out a plate of cookies. You’re not going to get that kind of service at a pricey hoity-​toity salon… or if you do get that service, you’re going to pay for it! Layla really cares about her clients and you get that sense the second you walk in the door.
And let’s not forget to mention… my hair looks and feels amazing. My boyfriend’s jaw dropped when I walked in the door. Seriously… that good.
Now that I’ve been spoiled by her impressive service and even more impressive talent with hair, I won’t be going anyplace else. I recommend this place to ANYONE. You will not be disappointed.

It’s always nice to get the results you’re looking for, whether you’re in need of a new stylist, a different pair of expert eyes, or a whole new look! Rest assured that a visit to Layla’s will leave you completely satisfied and perhaps even ecstatic about your new look and healthy hair. Each of the stylists at Layla’s, including the most-​admirable Layla herself, have substantial experience and as such, will make certain you leave feeling beautiful and lively!
The charming ambiance at Layla’s contributes to one’s experience. I love the simplistic yet aesthetic interior design and also the warmth I feel when seeing the stylists attend to and chat with their happy clients!
This may not be your expansive, elaborate, and swanky operation, but it can definitely be your beautifying haven away from home. And fortunately for me, it’s just a walk away from my home!

I found Layla’s because it is down the street from me, but I would drive across town for her if I had to. The salon is very cozy and inviting, and the service is great. My hair was a hot mess until Layla sorted out the color and cut. She has great instincts about what will look good, and she also brews a killer cup of coffee. There is a 30% off coupon on the website for first time customers.

I’ve been going to Layla for years, and wouldn’t want to go anywhere else! The salon is beautiful, relaxing, clean, and Layla is always so welcoming. She does a beautiful job cutting and styling my hair, always just what I want.

Layla’s Salon is probably the best salon in all of west Los Angeles — and I mean including West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Brentwood you name it. Why? Because Bea and Layla are just as good as the best stylists on the west coast (including the celeb stylists and stylists to the celebs!), only they don’t charge you a house/​rent payment for a color and cut, cut and blow, wash and blow etc.
I’ve been going to Bea for years and years (it’s been at least 15 years and probably closer to two decades now!) and I just can’t recommend her highly enough. There is a very good reason she has some clients that have been seeing her for probably close to 30 years now. She is simply the best hands down. Though I’m sure Layla herself is just as good. I’ve also known Ashley for many years and while I haven’t gone to him for my hair, I’ve heard great things about his work as well.
The salon itself is very clean, intimate, and just, I don’t know… friendly. The chairs are very comfortable as are the wash/​rinse seats/​recliners. The salon is in the ground floor of a medical office building on Wilshire in Brentwood and the best part about this is that there is FREE SELF PARKING (hallelujah!) in the back of the building off the alley. Not very common around Westwood/​Brentwood and definitely a nice little bonus.
If you really want to treat yourself (and your hair) right, then I definitely say go to Layla’s. Absolutely fantastic especially when you consider the very reasonable prices. I’m pretty sure they take walk ins, but I recommend calling ahead just to make sure you don’t have to wait.

I dig Layla’s salon. She was very professional, extremely friendly and overall left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling after my haircut. The haircut itself was well done. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a good deal on haircuts that go beyond the run-​of-​the-​mill supercuts variety.

Well my poor hair had been severely sun damaged and frankly, abused after coming back from an archaeological dig. Poor hair I thought, but I didn’t have a stylist here in LA. So I got on Unilocal and searched for hours. I’m a student and don’t have a lot of money but I also don’t want to go to a crappy impersonal salon after checking out Layla’s website (which had a coupon for 50% off for first time customers) I decided to call and see if I could get in ASAP. It was no problem and I got a same day appointment.
Layla was very friendly and welcoming, as soon as I walked in the door she greeted me and I sat down in her chair with no wait. I explained my hair’s poor condition and what I wanted done and then she went right to work.
She made several comments about my hair being in poor condition but followed by compliments on my natural color and texture etc. She gave me some constructive tips on how to treat my hair better and even recommended a drug store shampoo which would help my hair when combined with my current paul mitchell stuff.
Great hair cut, exactly what I wanted. After asking me questions about my hair habits she didn’t even ask and flat ironed my hair for me (which I wanted.) It would have cost $ 60 for cut and style for my long hair but with the coupon it was $ 30 + tip. Even if these reviews don’t turn you on right away the coupon makes it worth a try.

After moving to Santa Monica from New England and having the same stylist for the past few years it was hard for me to find a trusting stylist here in so Cal.
After searching around on Unilocal I trusted the reviews for Layla the Salon which is right up the street from where I live. The reviews were right on!
Great little place. Layla was soo friendly and I was able to get a hair apt right after work one day when I called deciding that 6 months had been long enough and I was in desperate need for a cut.
I would definitely recommend Layla and will be returning there for my next hair apt. :)

I have been coming to Layla for about 5 years. She does a phenomenal job, offers great conversation, and does it all with such warmth and kindness that it’s just a delight every time I realize it’s time to come in again. I can’t recommend her enough. Give her a try!

I discovered Layla 5 years ago. Her sense of color and style are amazing. I am always referring people to her because of her wonderful ability to give a great cut every time. She handles it all straight hair curly hair and colorist who trained in Paris. She is the real deal of warmth and kindness.
SHe is the best!!!
