Brazilian Blowout by Jordana Lorraine

Let me start by saying that I drive up from San Diego to see Jordana. Yes, she is that good! She takes my frizzy, fussy hair and magically transforms it into sleek, smooth strands that can be easily styled. I love that she is careful about ventilation during the blowout process and I love that she can answer all my questions. She definitely knows her way around a Brazilian blowout. She also cuts my hair perfectly. I love her salon space and I find her enjoyable to talk with. She’s a great person and a super talented stylist.

I’ve been Jordana’s client for about 6 years. She was the first person to place extensions for me and I’ve been addicted ever since. I was recently on vacation in Australia and while have my hair done for an event something happened that happens EVERY time I’m getting a blowout: the hairstylist started examining my extensions. I’m so used to it by now I almost don’t notice it anymore. But it really took me by surprise that even half way around the world, hairstylists are impressed by her work. It’s as if they’re trying to learn her technique by studying my hair. And then comes the compliment. This particular time the girl said, «Whoever does your hair is amazing, she made it seem like you’ve had balayage but it’s extensions!!» I giggled and said thank you. You know you’re going to someone amazing when everyone in that field compliments her work nonstop!

I absolutely adore Jordana — and she does great hair, too ;) amazing customer service and technique. She gave me my first keratin treatment and first professional color. I was nervous about both of these services because of the ‘stories you hear’ about things going horribly wrong, but Jordana is so kind and knowledgeable she put my fears to rest and did an incredible job with matching the exact color I wanted. As for the keratin treatment, my only question is why did I wait so long?! After 30 years I can finally blow out my own hair! Thank you so much Jordana!!!

Love, love, love her! And my hair of course :) Jordana gave me a Brazilian blowout, cut and style, and fixed my ombré. My hair actually is a beautiful brunette ombré whereas before it was just «imitating» an ombré. I went to see her a week before my vacay, and was magically able to be squeezed in last minute as someone had just canceled. And I’m so thankful I was! The whole time on vacation (which is a rustic island where I’m swimming in a river and getting my hair wet pretty much all the time) I was able to reproduce the beautiful work Jordana had done to my hair in under 11 min or less! Seriously, this is amazing readers, because I have naturally frizzy, wavy kinky hair. (before it would take me and hour to blow dry and straight iron to get my hair to look somewhat ok-​good). And, honestly I could have gotten away with letting it dry naturally, but the fact that my blowouts now take less than 11 min and produce that amazing, confident «I just got a wonderful blowout look that produces sexy, silky hair» look I didn’t hold back. She is also the most funnest, non judgy, easy to chat with hair stylist ever… I say this from experience with trying out about six different hair stylists in the two and a half years I’ve been in LA. And me being a naturally quiet person, there were also times where there was quiet and relaxation which in my opinion really sets apart professionals from not so professional in any service field– when someone is able to really understand their client– (in this case hair… and personality) and run with it. Anyways, thanks Jordana!!! My hair whisperer (insert heart here, as Unilocal doesn’t allow that character)

I’ve been going to Jordana for almost 2 years now so this review is long overdue! Jordana is unlike any other stylist I’ve been to. When you enter her space she makes you feel welcome and comfortable, and truly listens to what you’d like done. Unlike other stylists i’ve been to, she has the perfect balance of seriousness when she’s working and still being a great conversationalist and she will always make sure you are fully satisfied before you leave. She really gives it all she’s got and will never make you feel rushed.
I’m never going to anyone else for color again! I barely had to explain what I wanted — a light, ashy blonde — and she seemed to intuitively know exactly what I wanted. I’ve never been so happy with my color! I don’t know how she does it but my hair manages to stay the same beautiful color for an insanely long time without fading– and always looks healthy. I get so many compliments. Thank you Jordana, I love my hair!

Love this place! I was scared of doing the Brazilian Blow Out because my hair is curly and kinky but after having it done it was Amazing! This processes (if that’s what you call it) leaves your hair silky, soft and smooth! I LOVE it! The Hair Dressers are Amazing… They know their stuff!

Love love love love love. Jordanna rules. Just trust her and you’ll be in great shape. Not the best price but I’ll burn a hole in my pocket to know Jordanna is fixin my nappy ass hair into smooth goddess softness. I’d go there every day just to hang out with Jordanna just because she is that awesome. File this one under groupie comment.

Obsessed! Jordana is amazing. Thorough, explains every detail, answered all of my questions and provided the best customer service. I was nervous going in as this was my first blowout but she was fantastic and honest. I am beyond thrilled with the results. I have long, curly, frizzy hair and I walked out of there frizzless with just a short blowdry following the treatment– no round brush, straightener or product needed. I’m in hair heaven and will be back for me! Worth every penny. Oh and not to mention, she provided free product for the first time… Cherry on top.

One’s hair – how it looks, how it’s styled – sends a message. Before you have opened your mouth, people have already made personal assumptions about you, solely based on your appearance.
You know it’s true.
And it’s especially true in LA.
Jordana is one of a small handful of people I trust to touch my hair. It’s not just that her work is impeccable – every time. I also know that she is constantly attending continuing education classes on all of the latest research and technology for hair. I’ll try to tell her about a new product or style, and she’s already tried it! She’s incredibly thorough about researching new lines before taking them on. I’m pretty sure, when it comes to hair, she can do everything!
Jordana really shines at color, but she’s also a Brazilian Blowout genius. I think she’s one of the top experts in LA. Despite her expertise, neither she nor the salon where she works feel the slightest bit pretentious, and Jordana even does fun things like offers pink extensions for breast cancer awareness month – for free! She matches whatever donation you contribute to the cause. How cool is that?
Whether you’re looking for something traditional or fun and funky; if you want a cut, color, Brazilian Blowout (or another keratin treatment – she offers several different kinds), I couldn’t recommend Jordana more highly.

I went to Jordana after Googling «best brazilian blowout Santa Monica». I have wavy hair that I perpetually wore in a pony tail or bun because it would frizz like mad if I wore it down, whether I let it curl or tried to straighten it. Jordana took time to understand my goals. I didn’t want stick straight hair, but wanted to be able to style it easily and wear it down more often. Since my appointment over a week ago I have been wearing my hair down daily, something I have never been able to do before. I have even walked on the beach without it frizzing!
Jordana is very professional and provided considered, realistic responses to all my questions. The process is simple, relatively quick and completely fume-​free thanks to her excellent filter system. I definitely plan to go back. Very happy to have found Jordana!

Jordana is fantastic! Excellent service. Best extensions I’ve ever had. They look and feel great. Thank you for those extra maintenance tips no other hair dresser has taken the time I really appreciate it. Ill be back.

Jordana gives the best Brazilian Blowout hands down! I have had a few different ones from the top salons in LA and she is the best. She took a ton of time with me during the consultation to make sure I got exactly the results I wanted. When it was finished I was in LOVE with my hair. It wasn’t floppy and pin straight like in the past. It was a beautiful calm, shiny, wavy texture that I am addicted to. I cannot recommend her enough!

I’ve been going to Jordana for cut and color for years; and I’ve followed her to different salons because she’s always done right by me. (With my stick straight hair, there’s no need for a Brazilian Blowout for me.) Jordana truly listens to what you say, and incorporates your feedback over time to suggest things you may not have considered; and she’ll be as risky or conservative as you want. She’ll also give her gentle, but honest opinion of what will or won’t work for your texture, face, etc. In addition to her professional skills and instincts, she is also HIGHLY organized and has impeccable grammar ;o) I can’t recommend her enough!

Where do I begin! I have been going to Jordana for over 10 years. She does amazing things with hair and a master colorist. The Brazilian Blowout to me is just an added bonus. I always love to chat with her about what is new in the styling world as she is on top of her game by attending seminars/​classes and sharing her knowledge with other stylists. Three consistencies are a must in life– a dentist, a doctor and a stylist. So happy to have found her and hoping she never leaves LA.

Jordana has been my stylist — taking care of my haircuts, highlights, and coloring — for the last 15 years. She is very professional, skilled (was educated at Vidal Sassoon Academy), knowledgable, thorough, and sharp. She asks what look you want, but when needed, tactfully explains what options/​factors to consider with your particular face shape, hair texture/​length, etc. so you can make an informed decision on what style looks best on you.
Jordana’s service is enjoyable– she focuses on her work and doesn’t talk your head off the whole time, yet a great conversationalist, too.
Lately, she’s been specializing in Brazilian blowouts but I can’t rate her on that since I’ve never had a BB before.
Tip for Asians: Jordana’s not Asian but she has years of experience wrangling our stubborn, stick-​straight, thick hair (which I kinda have), so have no fear!

jordana does an amazing brazilian blowout– i have never been so in love with my hair– she did a fantastic job and i am obsessed–
jordana also gives me the best haircut i’ve ever had– 100% recommend her!

Run, don’t walk, to have Jordana return you to the hair bliss a good Brazilian Blowout delivers. I was nervous because of last year’s headlines about keratin treatments, but read an article explaining how Jordana has taken extraordinary measures to protect the health of her clients and herself, so I decided to give this treatment another try. SO glad I did! Extra bonus — she has an excellent assistant who performed my blowout alongside her, so the whole service was done in record time!!! A Brazilian Blowout that is healthier and quicker than ever before? Don’t wait another minute.

I live on the east cost but travel to LA for business. And I always make an appt with Jordana. She is absolutely amazing! I have done the Braziian blowout many times, but hers is hands down the best. First of all no fumes! She is also an expert in making my thick, long but coarse hair come out looking SILKY! After I wash it my hair is what I have always wanted it to be: silky, lots of body and manageable.
Other places when you are done your hair looks dull and gummy until you wash it) When she does it, its truly a makeover. And she is also wonderful with color and cut. Simply put, I LOVE her. Cant recommend her enough!

Jordana is The Brazilian Blowout. Don’t waste your time or money with anyone else or anything less. She offers the most sophisticated system, professional technique and superb quality results. I will only trust Jordana with my blowout… She’s the best in the field!

Please note that this review is only for Jordana Lorraine and the services that she provided to me. I get my haircut here by a different stylist at this salon that I LOVE.
I saw Jordana after getting my haircut for application of hair tinsel. I have had it before, done with a different stylist at a different salon. Jordana only had about 6 colors, which was dissappointing, considering you can buy multi packs online for super cheap that have about 20 colors. She only had the flat tinsel, not the ones that look like glitter. Colors were brown, gold, silver, red, blue and green I think. We discussed where I wanted the tinsel and she began. I thought all hair tinsel was applied the same way, with a knot method around 1 – 2 hairs. Apparently this is not the case. Jordana used extension glue on my hair with the knot, and it appears that she used more than 1 – 2 hairs to tie the tinsel around. After washing my hair I realized I cannot stand the use of the extension glue. It makes it impossible to comb your hair from the root, because your comb gets stuck where the glue is. Very painful if you get it caught the wrong way. You can use a metal barrel brush that won’t catch, but who uses a metal barrel brush straight out of the shower?! And what happens when the hair grows out and my tinsel is 2 inches from the scalp? My previous hair tinsel never got caught on a brush/​comb, you never even knew it was there while trying to style. Needless to say, I will not go back to Jordana for hair tinsel. And now I know to ask and make sure that stylists do not use exentsion glue with hair tinsel. I emailed with Jordana and she explained that in her experience the glue makes the tinsel stay in the hair longer, however my previous tinsel with no glue last 3 months and would have lasted longer had I not pulled them out for a wedding. [As a side note, with my previous tinsel I was able to pull them out when I wanted because it was a simple knot around the hairs. If I want these out I guess I have to go back to her and have them removed.]
oh well, lesson learned I guess.
As a side note, she did also give me a feather extension which is pretty cool. A couple of feathers that are squeezed with a tube around a few hairs that can be washed, blow dryed, straightened, curled, etc. If you want that removed you have to go back to her and she will pop it off.
