Debbie Does Hair

When I moved to NoHo, I really wanted something different done with my hair. I found debbie through Unilocal,and was impressed by all the positive reviews she had so I gave her a call. Up til I saw Debbie, I hadn’t done more than a small trim for years, so my hair was long. Really long. And I wanted something completely different. I decided to go all out with an short undercut.
Being a woman, I didn’t really know if it was the right decision, or how to go about getting the short do while not constantly being thought of as a guy. Debbie was right there with her magic, and we had fun experimenting with what to do with my hair, and not only did I love the cut, but I loved the experience. She walked me through what would look good, and how to maintain my hair afterwards so it’d still be fresh and edgy. Eventually I decided to get my hair colored and it came out amazing!
I’ve now had that cut for over 3 years and I still absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I’ve moved out of NoHo, but every time I go to LA I be sure to book an appointment with her to get a cut and color.
Now that I’ve moved, I haven’t found anyone I trust with my hair the way I do with Debbie!
In terms of the facility, it’s clean and friendly. Parking is difficult sometimes, there’s street parking, or the small lot in the back. For the quality and the service, the price is totally worth it.

Debbie is an earth angel and cuts men’s hair very well. I have tough curly hair and she made it just right for the new year. I will be back. Thanks Debbie!

Debbie is «the hairdresser you always dreamed of,» and one of the nicest people you will ever meet! She spends time getting to know you and your hair needs. She is able to help you find a style that best fits your styling needs, hair type and personality while also staying with the latest trends. I love that she actually spent time teaching me how to style my naturally curly hair so that I can have some versatility. She even set up my phone to video a tutorial for me of how to straighten and style my hair since I am a bit challenged in that department. I have now had two appointments and could not recommend her more highly. Look no further… Debbie is definitely the one you should choose to do you hair!

Debbie is a really nice lady and a highly skilled hairdresser. She gave me a great short haircut, which usually makes my curly hair look poodle-​like, but she understands curly hair and was able to make it look fierce rather than ridiculous.

My friend, who’s been doing my hair for over 10 years, broke her arm and wasn’t able to cut my hair for a while, so I needed to find a temporary replacement. Another friend recommended me to Debbie, whose salon is right by me, so I decided to give it a shot. You never know what you’re going to get, but to get right to the point, I LOVED Debbie. She gave me a fantastic cut and perfect color, I felt completely comfortable in her hands, and as a bonus, we had the best conversation.
If you’re hesitating to go to Debbie, STOP stalling and make the appointment. You will be happy you did!

Started out great, she came back to the salon after having left for the day to accommodate me. From there, during the haircut, a woman walks in who was waiting for someone at the salon, Debbie tells her «you got the wrong place, no one here with that name!» (the lady was waiting for a friend, not a stylist, hence the confusion).
Debbie proceeded to make fun of the lady not knowing she was still sitting there, leading to an awkward apology once the stranger’s continued presence was discovered.
Haircut was military short against my wishes, looked okay except for the completely uneven sideburns i discovered on the way home (an easy fix).
The worst part was payment. I paid $ 40 on my credit card, told her I would give her a cash tip of $ 5 «the rest of what I have in my wallet» I told her (thankfully that was the case, as I wasn’t very pleased with the cut to begin with). I signed the receipt, wrote $ 0 for tip, re-​wrote $ 40 as the final total and handed her the cash.
The charge comes through a few days later: $ 45. She gave herself an additional tip on my credit card, when confronted said she «must have confused it with a previous customer» (she had left for the day and came back, what previous customer?). She then offered a credit for my next visit. At best it was a mistake, though I can’t imagine how when I clearly wrote $ 40 and no tip on the credit card that she swiped and entered in my presence, or at worst it was outright fraud.
Don’t care about the $ 5 as much as someone who would «accidentally» tip herself and argue it was a legitimate charge until proven wrong by her own copy of the receipt. Card company issued a chargeback to her (which is done in cases of merchant fault) and I was on my way to never being on my way back.

I came out to LA for a visit and had my hair colored by Debbie. She did such a fab job that I decided to more here and she is now my new best friend. Okay so that’s a little exaggeration. I was moving out here anyway. But last night she did my hair for the 3^rd time and it still looks fabulous, and we went out to dinner afterwards so she is kinda my new best friend since I’m new to the city. She does a GREAT job with hair and her personality is awesome.

I spent 6 years living in LA, and Debbie’s chair was the only place I felt comfortable when getting my locks snipped. She made sure to maintain a personal connection with me, always remembering my stories and even texting me to remind me of my upcoming appointments. She’s a darling and I never left unhappy over my hair. I loved each haircut better than the last :)

I have been getting my hair cut by Debbie for 5 years. She is the greatest!!! She is not only a great hair stylist she is also a great person. I have recommended her to several friends and family; and everyone agrees that she is the best. It doesn’t feel like I am going to get a haircut, it feels like I am going to see a friend!

Great hair cut. Great genuine person. Shared how-​to keep the style looking good. Truly comfortable, enjoyable and extremely all around positive experience.

Just had my first haircut from Debbie. I live 2000 miles away in St. Louis. I will have to plan all of my future travel around getting my hair cut in Toluca Lake by no one other than Debbie. She’s that good.

Debbie is amazing! Plain and simple… she is the sweetest, most helpful hair stylist I’ve ever had. She has a wonderful, upbeat attitude. She really knows what she’s doing. She not only cut my hair, but she taught me how to style it myself. I only just met her today, but I am in love.

I was very nervous about making a move to a new hairstylist, but Debbie immediately put me at ease. She is a master at both color and cuts and worked with my naturally curly hair to leave it shiny and easy to manage. I’ve now been back twice and absolutely love her!

What can I say, only that Deddie is a wonderful stylist and colorist! She is so down to earth and such an amazing person! I was in a pinch and needed color and a style! Debbie was more than accomodating! she asked all the right questions and was very insightful to my needs. It was a pleasure to sit in her styling chair and know that i was in good hands! I would gladly and will recommend Debbie any and all that are in the market for a great hair stylist! THANK YOU, DEBBIE!

i’ve found my «hair whisperer»!!!
i gave debbie a try based on the amazing Unilocal reviews. spot on Unilocalers! it felt like we’ve been forever friends. not only is she insightful, but extremely talented. the whole experience exceeded my expectations. i can’t remember the last time i was this pleased with a cut. i’m looking forward to my next appointment — color. debbie just gained another loyal customer!

Debbie is THE BEST!!! She’s been making me look fantastic for almost 7 years now and I am NEVER disappointed. In fact, everytime I step out of her chair I feel like a new person! She has a great technique and an amazing eye to be able to see your face and know exactly what will look good. She’s open and honest and if you have an idea of what you want she will guide you in the right direction so you don’t walk out looking like you have a Poodle on your head.
She is also very knowledgeable with both straight and most importantly curly hair. Curly hair can be tricky but she’s got the skills (and the natural curly hair herself when she so chooses to let it be) to cut it perfectly so that the curls are shapely and no bad fro.
If you are searching for an awesome hair do from an awesome person look no further!!! Call her now!!!

My whole family goes to Debbie. She is great. If you are a guy like me who likes to not have to think about his hair Debbie is perfect.
One of the highlights of my month is going to chat with Debbie and walk out feeling dead sexy.

Debbie knows hair! She knew what I wanted and she executed it perfectly! I have been with now for 4 year and have always left happy and with a GREAT Hair cut!

Let DEBBIE DO YOUR HAIR!

I’ve been going to Debbie for 7 years and counting. I’ve had a bob, a punky doo, and now my locks are long and straight. I’ve been a brunette, a red head, a blonde, and back to brunette again. Debbie has seen me through every change with style, grace, love, energy, and skill. Consultations are thoughtful and patient, and I always feel like I walk out with exactly what I was hoping for.
Not only is Debbie supremely talented, she is an absolute pleasure of a human being. She connects with her clients and always has a sweet word and a witty comment to brighten up a gloomy day.
I used to DREAD getting my hair done because I felt like no one listened to me, I was overcharged, and it wasn’t FUN. Debbie turned my world around. My hair is SO WELL CARED FOR and I look forward to sitting and spending time with my «for life» stylist.
