Luna Hair Studio

My hair has a little bit of a natural wave in it but I have always treated it like it was straight hair, keeping it long and not doing anything to accentuate the wave. It wasn’t till I started seeing Lisa two years ago that I discovered what an asset my natural wave can be. Long & straight worked when I was young, but as I’ve gotten older (I was 51 when I first saw Lisa), my hair has gotten grayer and thinner, making the old style not work anymore. Lisa showed me the light about my natural wave. Keeping my hair shorter (slightly above shoulder length) and accentuating the wave by gelling, scrunching, clipping and NOT blowing the heck out of it yields a much better look for me. It has taken a while to learn how to use the clips but I am getting better at it, and overall my new shorter, wavier, «messier» look is fun, flattering and modern. Major victory for Lisa because I have always been really resistant to changing my hair.
Yesterday I crossed another new frontier by coloring my hair for the first time. As a lifelong advocate of «natural» this and «natural» that, I surprised myself by wanting this, but my gray was just way too much and I was looking much older than I felt. Lisa held my hand through the entire process. She educated me about the different ways to color hair and suggested a weave, so that some gray would remain, but the rest would go back to my natural color. I went with it and am SO HAPPY! It’s like I dialed the clock back about eight years (as opposed to twenty). I kept a couple tendrils of solid gray in the front because it looks cool, and the rest is my original natural color with a little gray mixed in, like I’m 43 instead of 53. Perfect. It feels great to look the age that you feel! My husband is thrilled too; he was worried that the color would look unnatural, but when he saw me, he couldn’t believe how natural it looked. She got my color exactly right, and the weave looks just perfect.
I waited two years to write a review of Lisa because I wanted to see how her work affected me and my hair over the long term. Now I am happy to say with 100% confidence that she is a GREAT hairstylist. She is an expert with curly and wavy hair and is also a real artist when it comes to color.
Go see Lisa!

Because of Lisa I love my curly hair again. My hair has been a dry frizzy mess for years. Lisa has taken the time to teach me which products to use on my hair to get my curls to look healthy and bouncy. I’ve received so many compliments on my hair since going to Lisa. If you have curly hair, give Lisa a try. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Where has Lisa been all my life? After 30 years of thinking I had weird waves in my hair, it took a trip to Luna Hair Studio to realize that my hair wasn’t weird– it was awesome. After a dry cut (to cut for the curl placement Lisa walked me through the whole process for wavy/​curly hair and showed me the error of my ways. Since then, she’s taken me from really long to chin length and created beautiful, natural highlights. I absolutely love her. My hair looks the best it has ever looked.

Lisa is an expert stylist who really knows curly hair. What I appreciate about her is that she doesn’t rush you and she is not just trying to get you out of the chair to get to the next client. I felt she was a little pricey, but maybe that’s me. Will that stop me from going? No. As anyone with curly hair knows, when you have found a good stylist, you keep them… and she’s a keeper.

If you have curly/​wavy hair, stop reading this review and make an appointment.
Plan for it to take a while. Lisa takes her time and studies your hair. She gets to know your curls so she can cut them in a way that is right for you, not for anyone else. She teaches you what to do to care for your hair between cuts and suggests products that will work for you (hint: take her product advice!!!)
What she can accomplish with your hair is nothing short of magic. She can make it behave, she can make it uniform. She made hair on my head curl that I had thought for my whole life was just straight hair — without a curling iron!!! MAGIC.
I have never ever ever had a better hair day in my life than when I left Lisa’s studio. Her prices are very fair for her skill and thoroughness. She deserves every five star review on here.

Lisa at Luna Hair Studio is just wonderful. I have pretty curly hair and it can be a bit hard to maintain, just because I have no idea what to do, what products actually work, or how to keep the curls from becoming a huge mess. Lisa gave me some great tips on how to set my hair properly at home and the dry haircut that she gave me is just gorgeous. Her salon is also wonderful — she’s got a great atmosphere going on in there and it smells wonderful. She’s all about natural living and it was great not have to worry about harsh chemicals. She’s the best and I’m a fan for life now!

Great salon! Lisa was super nice and very knowledgeable — I felt totally comfortable putting my curls in her capable hands :) Got a great dry cut and then she gave me some very helpful tips on how to style my curls at home. Thanks Lisa!

Lisa is a whiz with curly hair. Very convenient for someone like me, who has quite a lot of it on her head and has been exposed over the years to horrors ranging from damaging perms to the dreaded thinning shears. Lisa always cuts my hair in a flattering way, and she got me hooked on natural, organic products to keep it happy and curly.
The salon itself is warm and inviting, and a little whimsical. If you’re a creative/​artistic type, you’ll dig the space. It’s very positive and fun. A haircut from Lisa isn’t cheap, but she is very skilled at her craft and she really knows what she’s talking about. You’re paying for tuition at «Hair U» just as much as you’re paying for a cut.

I was referred to Lisa after my beloved hair dresser moved out of state. I was driving to Long Beach from West Hollywood, just so I can get a good hair cut for curly hair, which is SO hard to find. Curls have a mind of their own. Lisa is an angel for curly heads! My hair has never looked BETTER! I get some many compliments about my hair these days, at least one everyday. AND Lisa is an excellent colorist. The color looks natural and compliments my skin color, and never dries out my hair. Lisa is also a delight. She is ever positive and sweet. I so enjoy being in her space.
For the cut, think of a bonsai tree — each curl is considered and cut naturally according to the nature of the curl. Precise and thoughtful. Lisa cuts hair like an artist, a sculptor.
The color is done as precisely as the cut, as colors are brushed on where they should naturally be.
She also taught me so much how to care for my curls in between visits, which has been so helpful! I gave learned so much about curl care!
I will never need to look for another hair dresser again! Lisa is the queen creating magic for curly hair. Don’t give it another thought! GO! Your hair will never be the same without her!

I’ve been on a hunt for a salon for curly hair for a REALLY long time. I was very impressed with my cut and it’s absolutely obvious that Lisa has been cutting hair for a really long time. I relate to her personality because she’s really honest and straightforward. The negative star is specifically because I requested a haircut that was messy and edgy, and my cut didn’t exactly have that effect. I also felt like the cut took about a total of ten minutes, not including the wash and the dry. I would have appreciated a little more time and treatment considering the cut was 85 dollars. Overall, I’m enjoying my haircut! :)

I came across this salon on Unilocal… ironically while researching a place to get a brazilian blowout. I was really intrigued by all the positive reviews and comments that Lisa helped transform curls. I have curly hair that gets so frizzy it doesn’t curl. Lisa did an amazing job cutting my hair and teaching me new tricks to care for my hair. I honestly felt like I was in a class as she spent a lot of time helping me get the most out of my curls. She was friendly and I felt comfortable with her instantly.
Every curly girl who struggles with their curls needs to see Lisa.

If you have straight hair, go to Lisa. If you have curly hair, DEFINITELY go to Lisa!
I had my first appointment today, for a Deva dry-​cut (for curly hair). I called on Wednesday and Lisa quickly called me back, set me up for an appointment on Saturday afternoon.
Her place is small, intimate, and relaxing! It didn’t smell of chemicals, either. She quickly assessed my hair, asked what I wanted and… did exactly what I asked! She kept my curls long, cleaned up my layers, and demonstrated techniques to use to keep my hair in better condition.
She was fast, and friendly though not overly chatty in the way some stylists can be. All in all, I was out in less than an hour! And that was with a dry cut, a shampoo and conditioner, time under a dryer, and touch-​up cut.
She’s very fairly priced and doesn’t try to push products on you (though she does carry a lot of great lines — whatever is in my hair today, it’s good stuff!).
I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely love Lisa! After struggling with my curly hair for years (bad cuts, dry, snaggly ends, you name it), I found Luna Hair Studio here on Unilocal and decided to give her a try. She returned my voicemail the next day and set up an appointment immediately. The salon is very small and inviting looking, and smells great (no chemicals!). Lisa had one other customer there, and took her time to ask about my hair before giving me a dry cut. She then told me how to care for my hair, from beginning to end, and was a doll throughout. I’ll be back soon!

Love Love Love. I found Lisa thanks to Unilocal.The atmosphere of the salon is down to earth and relaxing. Lisa is very sweet and knowledgeable. I have never seen my curls so healthy and beautiful. She gave me a lot of great tips to hydrate and maintain my curls. I saw the difference with just one visit. I am so glad I have finally found somebodu that can help with my curls.

I never knew my hair could be so healthy, long and curly. Lisa not only cut my hair, she styled it using organic products, and showed me the right way to maintain my curly locks. Hair cuts for me were always so impersonal, but the moment I walked into her salon, I felt like I had been a client forever! I love that she has pictures of her beautiful curly-​haired clients everywhere too. Thank you again, Lisa! I love my hair all over again!

a little gem, with a wonderful stylist/​owner, Lisa, who truly takes the time and gives great haircuts! Im thinking of doing some lowlighting in my hair and going back for that, but I am sure that will also be great. Lisa is lovely and does great work. A huge plus that she likes to use products and services without chemicals, and helps her clients to understand about them, too.
I love that it’s not an overcrowded crazy salon, too. Made me feel more like it was «my time» there. Highly recommend Lisa for all of your hair needs in Studio City.

Lisa is A-​MAZ-​ZING!
I have naturally curly hair and was buying one high end product after another and it was destroying my hair. Ironically, I was buying it all to *help* my hair… little did I know until I met Lisa.
She knows what to do! She is a brilliant hair guru and a very fun conversationalist taboot. She has taught me how to take care of my hair and what products to use to make sure it doesn’t dry out.
I’ve been trying to grow my hair long since 2001 but my hair was not growing in a healthy manner — it looked dead and ratty on the ends and wasn’t growing longer than about shoulder length since about 2002… I’ve been seeing Lisa for just over a year and it’s already inches past my shoulders and healthy looking too! I’m not saying she can do that for everyone, but I know she helped me because I can see the results!
I trust Lisa with my hair and she’s more than reasonably priced. She could easily maintain steady clientele in Manhattan or Malibu; I’m just lucky she’s decided to live and work where she does so a person like me can get haircuts and advice from her. One of my curly-​girly friends has seen her because I recommended her and she is also a happy client — and she drives up from Long Beach to see her.
I can’t say enough good things about Lisa.

Like many of us, I had spent years in noisy, over priced salons and frankly I was tired of it. Thank Goodness for Luna! So many things impress me about this modest salon: First of all, Lisa is a doll. No ego, no fuss, she is warm and totally professional. Though my hair was a big, fat, damaged mess when I walked in, she instantly put me at my ease and came up with some terrific ways to nourish it back to health. I love the sweet inspirational messages she has posted around the salon, the dleightful array of books, and even the fresh tea– she really gives you that personable spa feeling without the spa prices. My hair looks great and I have learned about organic products from Lisa. She is dedicated to using clean and quality ingredients and I appreciate that. (and apparently so does my hair ’cause it looks better than it has in a looooong time. Yeah!)

My husband, who is in the hair industry, recommended that I go see Lisa when I was looking to change stylists. I have naturally curly hair so its hard for me to find a stylist that i can trust and who really know how to cut and color my hair. I have to say that I was so impressed with her knowledge and expertise. She gave me a great cut and colored my hair beautifully. My color looks natural and healthy. She used a safe and ammonia free hair color that left my hair looking shiny, natural and soft. And best of all it covered my grey! Lisa is personable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Her prices are reasonable and you will get top quality service. I am so happy to finally have someone I can trust to do my hair!

I started going to Lisa with dry, damaged bleach blond 43 year old bad hair. She cut and styled my hair and sent me home with Deva Natural Curly hair products. I slowly started to see a small difference, but still wasn’t convinced it was helping. I went in for the usual Haircut and style again and she told me this time to cut a few inches off and get rid of the dead dull hair I was trying to hold on to forever feeling like I looked younger, ya right. Anyway, a few days went by and I must of received 10 compliments on my new (shorter style) and fuller head of hair. All I’m trying to say is «Thank You» Lisa for educating me on organic products and trusting you with my hair. My friends tell me I look younger with shorter hair.
