Indo Salon

I’ve been going to Janet for about 15 years, she is not only the best hair stylist in LA but now I call her a friend as well. She is so down to earth & a master at her trade. I come out every time with exactly what I asked for. Thank you Janet for always making me look and feel pretty!

As much as i hate going to salons, I love this place! Janetta has been my stylist for many years. She is the best hair stylist I have ever had. And, trust me, I’ve had my share! Her salon does everything you need to look fabulous. While traveling I’ve had my hair ruined by other stylist and then I come back to JB and she did her magic tricks and VOILA! brings back my lustrous shine and vibrant color back. The staff is so sweet and friendly and it is a full service salon… so you can get a facial, message, lash extensions and your hair all in one place while you sip some of their wonderful tea. I only wish INDO Salon was closer to me but still worth the drive. Oh! did I mention the art and jewelry that is for sale. top notch!

I came by to have Kina do my hair for a photo shoot and she blew me away!!!
We did smooth on the top with pin curls. It looked fabulous and the curls lasted the entire shoot (plus I recycled them on day 2 #justsayin). It was super affordable too! She gave me 30% off on my first visit! She is sooo talented and I use her every time now!
Definitely check out the salon and use Kina. I was even able to order my lunch in.
The only thing I will say is that the salon was a little tricky to find so just give yourself a few extra minutes. It is right across the street from Scrumptious Café.

Got a Brazilian blowout and haircut from Kina. It’s been about 3 weeks and so far I am loving it. I* can let my hair airdry and it looks acceptable! That’s a first for me! It is obviously not cheap ($ 250 – 300), but if you have wavy, frizzy and thick hair like me, it is a big timesaver!

Didn’t know where to get my super long, thick hair cut out here, so a friend suggested I check out deals on Lifebooker. That way, if I ended up at a bad place, at least I wasn’t out a chunk of money. However, I still checked reviews, and chose to try Indo Salon. It can be a hard place to find, but they send an email with exact directions. Parking on the weekend is horrible, so give yourself plenty of time.
My cut was with Quinn. She’s super sweet, listened to what I wanted, and gave me a great cut. She used a minimum of product for the blowout, which I appreciate, and my hair looked beautiful. What that girl can do with a blow dryer and roundbrush is amazing. I mentioned a couple of hair «goals» and she made some recommendations. We also discussed some fun «natural» color options for next time. I’m super happy to have chosen this place and Quinn is now going to be my hair person here! I think if you’re clear on what you want, then you could come here and leave happy, too.

Just wanted to give this salon and my stylist Quinn the great review they deserve. Quinn is just fabulous! She listened to me, made some on-​point suggestions and gave me exactly what I wanted. I have long, curly and kind of dry hair and she was able to work with it no problem. I left the salon looking and feeling great and most importantly have been able to style my hair at home and still love it!

This place is my haven. I initially chose it because of its location right near my house, but I kept going back because of the excellent level of service. Quinn is amazing — I’m always floored by how profesh my hair looks and how light it feels after a cut. Everyone in the salon is super-​friendly — and it’s a very calming, spa-​like environment (especially because it’s tucked into a corner, away from the road). It can be a little bit pricey, but it’s 100% worth it – and they also frequently offer deals on Lifebooker, Living Social, Groupon, etc., which makes it a steal. Very happy to give this place 5 stars!

A groupon brought me in last year but Quinn has kept me coming back! She’s so sweet and really listens to what you’re wanting. I had been looking for a great hair dresser and I am so happy to have found her! Everyone at the saloon is so nice, so happy to have found this gem!

I haven’t stopped looking at my hair for the past two days since walking out of here! I am precious about my long hair and had an urge to chop a lot of it off for the first time. I’m new to LA so have been searching for a hairdresser for a while. After a raving recommendation for Janet, I decided to bite the bullet and go for it and I am so happy I did! Janet is so kind and really took her time to make sure I was comfortable with my decision and discussed some options to ease me into the change. She has a great eye for what works. The salon is beautiful with a really zen vibe. I also go here for the greatest facials in the world (seriously). I am ecstatic to have found this hidden little gem of a place!

TL;DR — Never even got to the haircut… because the receptionist lacks training in basic phone customer service.
Ok. Like everyone else, I got a lifebooker deal. I was really excited because the reviews were so great and everyone is raving about the stylists.
I checked online and they needed my card information online and I was really not comfortable with that. So I decided to call and see if I can avoid that because I don’t know what system (and how secure it is) they use to keep all the information and lately, there has been an increase in stolen card information.
I called the salon and spoke to someone about maybe figuring out a different plan? I had a lifebooker so obviously I would already be committed. I asked if I could just give my full number or just the last 4 digits and expiration. She rudely said no, its just the way it is done. I asked her about her POS system and she said oh, its just Lifebooker. Last time I checked, Lifebooker is NOT a POS. The lack of knowledge really doesn’t reassure me at all.
I don’t know anything about Indo salon and what system they use. But judging from the customer service, it has to be pretty shady. It might be pretty paranoid but I’m sure we all know at least one person who has had their card information stolen. The hassle of calling customer service and canceling the card and changing card information for billpay… all because Indo Salon can’t accomodate. Why put yourself at an unnecessary risk? Thats ridiculous when you are not even an established salon. Whats worse is your lack of willingness to work on customer service.
Never again.

I came here because I got a great deal on Lifebooker. This place is so charming and cozy… It’s tucked away off the main road. It feels like it used to be a big house that someone converted into a salon.
My hair stylist was Kina. I got a wash, deep condition, trim and blow dry. Kina did a fantastic job! She does dry cutting, which I always thought made more sense anyway. I was so happy with the way it turned out! Kina is so sweet and has a very calming energy about her. She definitely knows what she’s doing and she’s worth every dollar. I’ll be going to her from now on.

Quinn did an amazing job with my hair! It’s straight & relatively coarse (as opposed to fine) Asian hair. It generally falls pretty flat when longer & sticks straight up when shorter.
She was able to layer & cut it in a fashion where with a quick application of a bit of pomade it looks awesome. It’s one week out, so she took growth into account which is stellar foresight.
Aside from the actual cut, the professionalism was clearly apparent during the whole session. She was engaging to talk to, attentive, friendly, while all the time giving my hair her all!
I fully recommend going to Quinn & shall myself return for my next cut!

Janet is always dependable for a fantastic cut and color. I first heard of Indo a few years ago through LivingSocial, but have kept going back ever since. Great hairdressers are hard to come by — but these guys are definitely worth the full price. Janet is both efficient and super skilled — a combo that’s tougher to find than you might think — and always has a solid stash of magazines!

The good:
I found them through Lifebooker so I obviously got a huge steal on my haircut, which is definitely a plus. My cut was with Quinn, who gets the bulk of the reviews on here. Quinn is very friendly/​chatty/​etc, and is also very good at blow dries and gives amazing scalp massages. My wash, deep condition, cut, and blow dry were done very efficiently and only took about 45 minutes.
The meh:
Only street parking – was fortunate to find a spot right outside. Could definitely see this being a problem if the residential areas were packed. The meters aren’t too expensive.
The bad:
Quinn’s inch perception is way off. I told her I wanted 4 inches off and she showed me on my hair her version of 4 inches… which was almost twice my 4 inches. I would’ve believed her had I not measured my hair at home with a tape measure. Sensing a length issue, I told her to forget the inches and just have my hair end mid-​boob. As I was leaving the salon, I told her my hair was shorter than I anticipated but she told me that it just looked short because she curled it slightly with the round brush. After I came home and washed my hair, I was not happy with how short my hair was. I measured it with my tape measure and it’s 3 – 4 inches shorter than mid-​boob. She cut off twice the amount that I wanted cut off :(
With all of that said, I am giving this place 4 stars because the haircut is not bad and looks very healthy, fresh, etc… It was one of the best cuts/​blow dries I’ve gotten in LA but it’ll take at least 3 months for my hair to grow the missing inches.

This place is the real deal. You will be transported to a different world when you arrive. I have received celebrity treatment here every visit. I love that Janet is also healthy hair orientated. Also she understands how to make your color look natural yet extremely polished. I will only let Janet cut my hair, once you have her do your cut its a game changer!!!

Everyday was a bad hair day — until I went to Indo Salon and saw Heather!
I had long, damaged hair that was not flattering for my face shape. so I went to Heather hoping for a change. She had styled my hair previously (which I loved), but this was my first time coming to her for a cut. Other hair-​dressers had deterred me from cutting my hair short, and Heather was the first to say «yes, let’s do it!» She was super supportive and made me feel extremely comfortable. The salon itself was a cozy, beautiful bungalow that serves as a relaxing ambiance for a hair appointment.
We cut off 6 inches and it was amazing! She perfectly layered my hair and angled it to compliment my face shape. She didn’t force me to cut off anything «because my hair was damaged.’ She truly suggested the best cut for my face (and personality).
Then for color — she’s truly a genius! She meticulously separated individual strands of hair to weave back-​to-​back highlights. She even took the time to wrap the hair that wasn’t being dyed in foil with conditioner to help deep condition and strengthen my hair. Whatever she did (probably magic) when the foils came out and she did the toner, I had the most perfect ombré I have ever seen.
The amount of attention and compliments I received from this hair cut far exceeds anything else I’ve ever done to my appearance.
Heather is sweet, kind, generous, and extremely talented at what she does. I’ll never go to anyone else! Love her!

I was introduced to this best kept secret of a salon about a year ago when QUINN GARCIA started doing my hair. She’s just fabulous, quick and is up to the latest trends for cuts and colors! She also does amazing extensions! CARA the acupuncturist is absolutely amazing as well, she’s super comforting and sweet. She knows exactly what she’s doing whether it’s helping you get over a cold, or curing severe depression with Chinese Herbs and Acupuncture. She so does cupping which is a cure in its self! I could go on and on about these two! Book your appointment today!

I waited a few days to Unilocal since my initial reaction was anger when I realized what had happened. I don’t hate the cut but cutting 21 inches; an overshot of 11 inches is just ridiculous. I felt robbed since it’ll take me a couple years at least to get back the extra 11 inches I did not authorized.
I needed a haircut; ideally about 4 – 5 inches. However, if I cut 8 inches, I could donate it. My hair is super thick and frizzy and the weight of my hair is the only thing that controls it. It was a hard debate, but I decided to let go of 10 inches.
I found Indo Salon on Unilocal and Quinn had lots of great reviews. I found a deal on lifebooker and made an appointment with Quinn. The appointment process was easy and Quinn was actually very nice and cute. I told Quinn that it took years to grow my hair and I finally decided to let go of 10 inches which was a hard thing for me to do. Quinn indicated that a 10 inch cut would still leave me with long hair. Apparently shoulder length hair is long to her and she can’t measure. I wanted the bangs she had and she can’t even mimic a cut that she had on herself.
Styling now takes a lot longer since I no longer have the weight of the hair to hold down the volume. I can’t even tie it up in a bun which has been my default hairdo when I’m running late. Like I said, I do not hate the cut, however, cutting 21 inches when we discussed 10 max several times is just unforgiveable. I did tip generously before I realized the butchery! Needless to say, I will not be going back to a stylist that does not hesitate to just chop away without hesitation. Maybe it’s because I got a lifebooker deal versus the regular $ 85 price tag; just an assumption on my part but I have no other explanation that would be nicer for such a huge discrepancy.
PS. I would post a picture of my «to be donated» hair next to a tape measure, but I can’t find an option to upload it. Pictures are worth a thousand words so luckily for the salon, I can’t post pics at the moment.

Quinn made me pretty! She wasn’t scissor happy and truly listened to what I wanted. So many stylists believe that they’re in charge of my hair because they’re ‘professional’ but Quinn really made it clear that she was there to make me happy! Thank you!
I’m giving 5 stars because this was a solid experience. Notes for the owner, however:
–front-​of-​house staff could be a bit nicer.
–You’re too expensive. I’ve lived in LA my whole life and seen so many overpriced places come and go. The good deals are the ones that stick. People with high incomes don’t like to get ripped off — only tourists think they’re supposed to pay top dollar. There is a high-​end salon in Beverly Hills who charges almost half of what you charge, and they have almost all the city’s high-​end clientele because of this. You do great work, but I came to you on a Lifebooker — the fact that the full price for my basic trim (the cut took 2 minutes — very simple) and blowout would have been over $ 100 is a little discouraging, as I’m not sure I can pay that when it’s $ 50 down the road from me, although I do like you guys. Consider lowering your prices to be a little more competitive and then you won’t even need Lifebookers to bring clients in. Just food for thought!

Great experience
Living Social led me to Indo for an awesome deal for cut, deep conditioning, full highlights and blow dry
You really should read the directions in the confirmation email. Also bring some change in case you meter park. Note that thursday is street sweeping and you will get a ticket from some bitch lady that sits in her car next to yours to make sure you leave when no sweeper is in the vicinity. $ 63
Its so airy and indie/​hippie in the salon itself. Feels comfortable and the asian lady statue didnt freak me out as much as i thought. There was also Maxi. A cute ass dog that loves begging with her round eyes. She kept me company… Or maybe my freaking delicious muffin company every time Quinn stepped away. Reception was super friendly as expected in WeHo
Quinn gets my thumbs up. Shes really cool and friendly. I was only there for a little under 2 hours but it really flew by
The cut– QUICK! Couldnt have been over 10 minutes but not an uneven straggler to be found. Amazeballs.
Color– i got ómbre instead of highlights. My hair is daaaark brown naturally so she lightened it up as much as she could
Deep condition– maybe my favorite part. Quinns hands are magic. My scalp massage felt phenomenal and the product smelled so great.
Blowdry– she actually got some volume and bounce in my stubborn ass stick straight hair
It is quite a drive esp with the 101 parking lot but totally freaking worth it. Just make sure you avoid the street sweep bs.
