JM Salon

Erica Kapu! I can’t thank her enough for the love and care she put into my hair. I have naturally curly brown hair (mixed) and so it is often hard to find a stylist that is comfortable with cutting and dying curls. Erica is that stylist! She was able to take my vision and make it reality. Erica made sure when cutting my hair to keep the length, knowing that curl shrinkage can be a major problem. I wanted to go drastically blonde with my hair and she advised that I take it one step at a time so that the bleach doesn’t take away or loosen my curl. With Erica I felt like I was in the hands of an expert! She was sensitive to my unique needs and I walked out of the feeling like a million bucks!
I love the feel of the salon as well. The other stylists are nice and it is a warm, welcoming, and hilarious place to spend some time getting pampered. I will be back in two months for a touch up and can’t wait to see what my magician (I mean stylist!) does for me next!

I have been going to Erica for awhile now and love her. She does everything I ask and is brutally honest when she thinks I shouldn’t do something! (Appreciate this because I tend to flip flop on my hair color). The salon in general is very friendly and welcoming. I always have a smile on my face while getting my hair done and love to listen to the cute banter between the stylists, especially Jeremy and Tracy. Great place, reasonable prices, and very talented stylists!

Thanks Malinda at JM Salon for the healthy cut! I love the volume and layers. Clean salon, great hair products, friendly and knowledgable staff. I’m visiting from Chicago and found them on Unilocal.You will not be disappointed!

Valerie is truly an angel! I can’t believe what a stunning keratin treatment she did for me. This girl has the magic touch! Before I went to Valerie, my hair was dry, brittle, and unmanageable. Then after her keratin treatment, my hair is silky smooth. I can even go out in the morning mist with a pony tail and then take the pony tail out and my hair is still silky smooth. Amazing! There’s no way I could ever do that before. I used to have such a hard time straightening it out and making it manageable. Now honestly it looks silky, shiny, smooth all the time. Thank you so much!!!

I came here today to get my hair cut and colored by Valerie. After reading her reviews and knowing she’s been doing hair for at least 15 years, I knew she’d be a good hairstylist. My hair looks absolutely beautiful and I will definitely be back to see her!

Came in to this salon today and was helped by Melinda. She set up my appointment and cut my hair later that same day. Before coming here, my hair was long and dry with many split ends. Overall it needed a cut.BAD. I live very close to this place so I decided to check it out. It was the best decision ever! Melinda washed, cut and blow dried my hair so perfectly. I love my hair! Thanks so much Melinda

I had been looking at Valerie’s work for a while before I made the move to go see her. She has an incredible personality. Very nice and professional I had her fix my ombré (which no one else understood how I wanted it). The pricing was pretty fair and comparable with other salons. I’m definitely come back to see her.

My go to hairstylist is Valeri .
She’s the most sweet understandable person ever! Just bring a pic of what you want and she will leave your hair exactly how you want it.
I found her after Philly Styles in Torrance messed up my hair… And since then, she has done wonders to my hair, from color, to treatments to maintain my hair soft and healthy .
I love that she’s so knowledgeable and clean, I have never left her place unsatisfied.
She makes sure you get the color and texture you asked her for, and she will take her time to fix whatever you don’t like .
She’s the best hairstylist I’ve ever encountered, trust me … I’ve been supposedly to the best and he f*** it up.
Here, I will leave a pic of her wonderful job she did last time on my hair, she corrected someone’s else’s horrible job. I’m so thankful I found you Val

So I recently just had my hair dyed by another local salon in San Pedro and the woman who dyed it made my hair a blueish greenish. So after days of trying to get ahold of her with no response so I can fix it I began to look on Instagram and Unilocal for a different hair stylist. That’s how I found val. She is honestly amazing and helped me out so much! She squeezed me in and fixed my hair within only two hours! She is so affordable and really cares about her customers. I walked out of the salon with my hair fixed and feeling amazing and it was all because of val. This salon is so cute the owner is super friendly and val is amazing!

Just had to tell everyone about this wonderful lady that listened to my request and gave me the exact cut I wanted. Ladies, I’m sure you’ve been in the situation I was in at least once. New to town and just left my hairdresser that had my haircut descriptions down. I like changing my style every year. I don’t know the hairstyle lingo so i usually bring in a picture and describe the changes i want. (Can be confusing). Melinda got it Right-​on the fist time. The second time I went to her, I made a change. Again, she got it right. Life is beautiful when you walk out of the salon struttin your new do that you just knew would look awesome on you.
I just love when someone Really listens!

My stylist moved out of state and not knowing who to go to, I Unilocaled «color stylist San Pedro» and Valerie at JM Salon came up with amazing reviews.
Those reviews were on point. I tried her today and she brought my ombré up, died my grey roots, minor trim and style. She did a terrific job, was very reasonable and personable.
Parking is good in back of salon so you don’t have to park at meters.
I will definitely be back and will let my friends know!

Monica is the best!!! Love you ! Thanks for always making me and everyone I refer beautiful!!!

I absolutely LOVE JM Salon! Melinda, the owner has highlighted and trimmed/​shaped my hair every 3 months since I shaved my head in 2012. It’s been a slow grow out and transition back into having an actual hair style, but I officially have a Bob! The cuts have been particularly amazing along the way. The other stylists are always friendly and it’s a clean peaceful place… highly recommend!

I found this salon on Unilocal and am so glad. Val did an ombré color and trim. She did a fantastic job, so happy with both. The salon is small and all the stylists are super friendly. I highly recommend Val! I have been getting numerous compliments since getting my hair done!

I just had the worst experience ever at this place, soo very unprofessional and rude!!!
I walked in, and after showing a picture of the color I wanted to Monica (the hairdresser) she said that she got the idea and that it was not a problem… well it was a problem, and a big problem!
I sat waiting for 40 min and when she finally got to me, she added no color on my hair, and instead started doing only highlights, which we had discussed, but only a few in the top area of my head (crown area). When I asked her if she was planning to add the color on my hair any time soon, she said that a ‘toner’ would do the trick.
I realized then, that something was wrong, since a color was always added to reach the light brown I had requested, but I sat there waiting for a miracle.
Long story short, after 3.5 hours, I ended up with highlights all over my head, no color, ruined hair, and yelled at by a second woman that was there (probably the owner, but she never said her name). Yeah, that’s right, yelled at because I explained to them that my hair was nowhere near to what I had requested! After arguing for at least 5 minutes, the second woman condescendingly asked me, what is your nationality? And I said, what does that have to do with anything at this point? If they couldn’t do the job, I should have been told since the beginning!
When I walked in, my hair was a dark brown, and if they couldn’t do the job, I should have been told right away, not after the fact.
I have gotten my dark brown hair done in a place in Gardena before without a problem, I just didn’t want to make the drive, but that was obviously a big mistake!
Honestly, I’m not one to write negative reviews, but I’ve never been so poorly treated.

After getting tired of going to an over priced salon in Redondo beach, I had gotten a recommendation to come to JM salon and have my hair done by Valarie. I can say it was an amazing decision.
first off the salon in itself is very clean and professional, something that I look for. It is located in a very nice area with available parking in the back (amazing). I got the pleasure of sitting down in Valaries chair and being so pleased! She is a very professional and talented hair stylist. I went from a kinda frumpy brown to a bright ombré look that she totally nailed. She was very quick and efficient which is hard to find. Not only was I happy with the color but my blow dry afterward kept my hair looking good for about 3 days, as if I just walked out of the salon. I would highly recommend Valarie to any and everyone. The price is affordable and you will be one happy camper ;)

I should have written this review many years ago, but better late than never.
Great place, Melinda does a wonderful job on my unruly hair.
The atmosphere is always up and lively, the other styles are ALWAYS very friendly.
Thank you all.

Melinda did a fantastic job on my cut and style.
As a walk in i only waitied 30 minutes and left feeling great. I will definitely be back!

I am new in San Pedro and didnt want to go very far to get my hair done, like back to Colton, where I came from. Unilocaled a hair salon and wala, Valerie at JM Salon was blown up for her awesome work. I am so glad I found Valerie and JM salon. She has a great personality and comfortable seats for hair washing time. My highlights are perfect.

This review is specifically for Valerie, who did my hair just two short days ago!
Valerie is an excellent stylist because not only is she extremely professional, but she is PERSONABLE, which I find nowadays is a rare quality in people.
I clicked with her instantly and was so excited.
Firstly I must tell you I was dying to have bright pink and purple hair. I haven’t been to any salons in San Pedro since I moved here, so choosing a salon I’ve never been to, to do something so drastic to my hair was nervewracking. I saw the reviews for JM Salon and thought I’d give it a try. I spoke to Valerie on the phone and told her what I wanted and asked her to ballpark a price for me (very affordable and inexpensive, I had a indigo and fuschia ombré that was quoted over the phone without her having ever seen my hair for about 120 – 160). She asked if I wanted a consultation and I said I’d just go ahead and book with her because I was excited to get it done.
She made the time to accommodate me after work, knowing that it would keep her past the normal hours of the salon, and we corresponded via texts so that I could send her pictures of my hair and of what I wanted. When I arrived she was waiting for me. She offered me water and had me sit down and we got right to work.
I found that we had a lot in common, so conversation was super easy and made my experience that much more fun.
I will never let anyone else touch my hair. She was very gentle with my hair, which we had to bleach in order to get these bright colors put on. I am a licensed esthetician so I am very wary of making sure places I go to are sanitary and that whoever is touching me is doing what they should be doing and I was very pleased that Valerie was following sanitation procedures so well. I know that’s a nerdy thing to say but it is important to me & I know I can’t be the only one!
All in all my hair came out looking beautiful and I felt like I had spent 3 hours with my best friend.
I would recommend this adorable and welcoming salon to any and everyone, especially Valerie!
PS I ended up spending $ 150… a total bargain and right within the range she had quoted to me on the phone! Perfect!
