Nine Zero One Salon

This salon was greatly recommended by several friends and clients. I was excited to meet their staff and schedule an appointment for an American Waves consult, cut and style. After 6 failed attempts of even scheduling an appointment, I have given up. Through Instagram photos, it looks like they do great work, however the amount of work on the clients part to even schedule a session is ridiculous.

Second time seeing Rick Henry here at Nine Zero One. Every time I leave here, my hair is the best it’s ever looked. I asked him both times to cut my hair into a trendy lob and both times he delivered masterfully. Rick also gave comprehensive styling tips and suggestions, which is a huge plus.
Everything about this salon is pristine, modern, elegant, and trendy… everything from the monogrammed robes to the giant flat screens at the shampooing stations to the perfect lighting screams high end.
Make sure to have a bit of cash for the valet, however, because parking in the area is nearly impossible!

I was in LA for a short trip & decided to get a blow out. Made reservations with 901. Be warned there are 2 salon locations. I ended up going to the wrong one but the ladies were so nice and called the other location to let them know I was on my way. Both locations are less than 5mins drive from each other. Loved the whole décor & music vibe of the place. Stylist was really attentive and friendly. My hair ended up looking fabulous. so happy I decided to get it done there.

The things I value most about Nine Zero One and the reason I continually go back are:
1. I am never made to feel like I am bothering anyone when I call to make an apt or inquire about services.
2. I never feel rushed by my stylist (I go to Denise and she is incredible).
3. The attention to detail by everyone is above and beyond what I have ever experienced.
4. Denise always checks my hair several times after cutting it to be sure it is perfectly even.
5. Time spent on blow drying and styling my hair after its cut.
6. Everyone who works there is very kind and helpful.

This place is amazing!!! Morgan is the best!!! I went in about 8 months ago with dark roots and brassy ends and she transformed my hair and gave me life with a beautiful golden ombré. I am obsessed with her work and she definitely knows what she’s doing. I have never felt so comfortable in leaving my hair completely in my hair dresser’s hands until now. She can literally do whatever she wants to my hair and I wouldn’t doubt her one bit. She knows her stuff and she is incredible! The salon is super nice right in the middle of Beverly Hills. It’s a little on the pricey side, but well worth it with the kind of hair you get upon leaving. If I could I would give them 10 stars! Best salon in town!

I am new to the LA area and heard good things about 901. But the experience I had was not just good, it was AMAZING! They went above and beyond. I understood they were booked for a few weeks but I was put on a cancelation list and was called and got my appointment moved up. The front desk was so helpful and when I walked in, what could have been an intimidating experience was quickly turned into something that felt like family. The people here have good vibes. I saw Rick Henry for a cut and got the BEST CUT OF MY LIFE! Not to mention Kristina who helped him wash me… best head massage! I will only trust him now! He is the best! Knew when I wanted to talk and knew when I wanted to relax. I recommend this salon to everyone!

Oh Tauni nails the blonde every time. These gals really know how to color the heck out of your hair. Went from super dark to very light in one sitting. No damage noted. Pricey, very pricey. That’s the only reason why I took one star off. They raised their prices and it seems unreasonable. My purpose of this review is to share my honest experience and to help the company improve where needed.

Grace the receptionist was SO helpful and professional. Really tried to squeeze me in and was super accommodating. Returned my calls like she said and was super patient. This goes a long way!!! Thank you Grace!

I love love love coming here! It is a beautiful salon and the staff is always happy and helpful. I have never been so happy getting my hair done and being as happy as I am every time I leave here! Anthony is a dream come true! He is the best at color and cut! I will only be coming to him from now on and as long as I have hair

I’m really disappointed with the service that I got at this salon. I spent $ 360 for haircut and color, done decently by Cory, and he couldn’t find ten minutes for a clean up in about 2 weeks of time, and him and the girls at the front desk would never return my calls. This is unacceptable. For the price I expect to have more care and attention as a customer. I had to pay a different salon for a clean up that should be included in the extremely high price that I paid here. The poor service made you lose a potential long term customer.

I was super excited to try out this salon, obviously from the social media that Iv seen, I went in to see a master colorist (one of «best») to give me a sombre/​balayage… I was a color correction and she knew that… Instead of REMOVING my previous color before bleaching me, she blasted my hair with a 40 volume developer and bleach (strongest level) and blew out all my cuticles. Now my hair is completely fried and will not hold onto any color since the bonds are broken. Going in I was so excited going to the «best» but yet they didn’t even educate me on my condition and instead a week later my hair got ruined and wasn’t at all what I thought. Extremely disappointed and surprised

Nine Zero One Salon is the absolute BEST salon out there. The staff are all such lovely people and Riawna and Nikki are SO incredibly talented, knowledgeable and true artists. The know hair. They know what will look amazing on you. And what’s more, they work with your hair so it will be the healthiest and best it can be! The gorgeous color, cuts, extensions and style that I leave with every single time make me so happy– and as a blonde, it’s not often you find that kind of consistency. I cannot say enough about Riawna who truly cares about your hair and her work and her clients. The ambiance there is everything– the salon has a wonderfully light feeling to it with its chic décor and modern elegance. And the parking situation is perfect as they have valet parking right out front. Nine Zero One Salon deserves 5 stars, all the way.

Review coming after i see my wife’s hair!!!

Ask for Denise!!! She is the best. I have literally followed her all around LA for 15 years. Unilocal is flawed because Denise needs six stars!!! And the 901 staff is gorgeous and super efficient.
One con: Parking is rough. But hey, that’s La right? Just arrive early and hawk down that valet!

Excellent customer service. Tauni is super nice knows what she’s doing. I will definitely be going back for a haircut and to get my hair healthy once again. Yay! no more Orange.

Morgan P is by far my favorite stylist in all of Los Angeles. She does a great job on blondes, gives a great cut and its so fun to sit in her chair and chat. The vibe at Nine Zero One is very laid back and casual… in a good way. I also love the products they have from Unite. I have recommended Morgan to a handful of my blonde friends who now refuse to get their hair done by anyone else!

This amazing salon is where you find the most talented stylist in LA. Everyone comes out of here looking incredible. My god send colorist is Morgan. From color correction to finding and maintaining my perfect color (which changes with the seasons), she is on point every single time. She’s kept my hair so healthy and gorgeously ombred that even though I’ve recently moved to SF, I still fly down to LA just to see Morgan. She’s a gem – all around.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this beautiful salon and all the stylists here. I’ve been seeing Morgan Parks for years and she is everything you could want in a hair stylist. She’s sweet as can be :), she listens to what you want, has great ideas, and always makes my hair look its absolute best. She has an eye for color and I don’t trust my blonde with anyone else! No matter what, I never have to worry about my end result. I constantly get compliments on my hair color, and I recommend Morgan & Nine Zero One to everyone. She is truly one of the best!
Above all else, this salon is like a close family and they put all of their passion and creativity into what they do – and it shows! Highly, highly recommend Nine Zero One!

I have been a #901girl for many years, and my stylists’, Morgan Parks and Tauni Dawson definitely deserve a 5-​star rating. So much so, that I fly in from San Francisco every 3 – 4 months just to see them. Not only do I love the ambiance and friendly/​professional vibe of all the staff, I feel right at home in Morgan’s chair. She is always open to feedback and helping me bring my «vision» for my color to life.
About 3 years ago, I started getting extensions with Tauni Dawson and Morgan Parks. They do such a fantastic job and I absolutely love my hair! When are you moving to San Francisco!?!
Thank you for always making me feel beautiful and giving my the best hair :)

If I could give negative stars I would. To express the frustration, disgust and disappointment with my experience with this salon would take a few pages. I honestly do not even know where to begin. My wife has literally paid close to $ 3000 to have extensions placed for our wedding. These extensions when initially put in looked incredible. I was blown away by how good my wife’s hair looked. Although she paid an extravagant amount of money I looked at it as an investment. We were using who we thought was the best and using the best type of extensions. The extensions we were told lasted on average 6 months. My wife bought the special brush, got this special spray for the extensions and treated the extensions with the utmost care. She hardly blow dries her hair and does not straighten it or do anything that could harm it. She even limits the amount of times she washes it per week. After the initial installation many of the extensions started falling out on the right side of her head after only a few weeks. My wife went back down to the salon and they fixed it but acted as if they were doing her a favor. With no apologies. After that the new extensions lasted another three weeks. She has now lost one extension on the left side of her head and 16 on the right side! This is obviously bad application. Not mistreatment by my wife. There’s no other explanation for them all falling out on only one side. It’s almost Christmas. We have tons of parties to go to and my wife can’t have her hair down without it being very noticeably lopsided. We have had many calls with the salon. They are not apologetic and refuse to take responsibility. All they said is they could fix it in February. February?! Are you kidding me?! I’m absolutely blown away. This is not professional. This is simply unacceptable. I cannot believe the way we have been treated for the amount of money we have invested in this salon. I will forever do my best to persuade everyone I can away from this salon and avoid this unbelievably horrible experience.

Wow I just had strobing done to my hair by Tabitha and I’m obsessed. I can’t stop smiling and I get so many compliments. It works for blondes and brunettes!

I’ve only been to Nine Zero One twice, once for a consult and once for the actual color application. Both times the staff and everyone who worked there were so friendly and warm. Also, specifically, Tabitha (Tab) is amazing! She did a color correction for me and I am so happy with it that I can’t wait until I can go back again. Plus she was very genuine and down to earth, and clearly very talented at what she does!

I don’t bad write reviews but almost a year later my hair still broken I have been a hairstylist for years decided to go to this salon because I see the work on Instagram and I went the stylist was rude I was early and they called to say she was late I dint know they moved locations so when I returned I was late she looked irritated ten she said ughh your hair is so long and your late rolling her eyes I wish that I had just not let her touch my hair and left I wanted to go darker instead she put bleach and no dark my hair was breaking and the color was exactly what I said I don’t want. I have the best products best deep conditioners and vitamins but still my hair just keeped braking Off .I can’t do my hair still I’m so sad my hair is a part of my life because I’m a hair stylist everyone my clients friends all say what happen to your hair ?? I have taken care of my hair for years it was long and healthy till I came here. I send an email and never ever received an answer. I’m not speaking about everyone it was the newer girl does starers I saw on Instagram go to anyone they are all amazing I guess that’s not true.

So recently I have been through pretty traumatic experience: I went platinum blonde (in another salon). The color turned out even (which is good) but evenly, strikingly unreal, fake and bad to my taste as well. I could not even leave the house!
When I needed a rescue I went straight to the best of the best — Nine Zero One. I have been going to Shaylee for a while and she told me that my idea of platinum blonde was not worth a try so thats why I did it in a different salon when Shaylee was on vacation. GOD SHE WAS RIGHT! So, i went to her to rescue me from my stupidity and she did a wonderful job once again! Ever since I started going to her I have always been getting so many compliments about my hair and the blonde she does never turns brassy (no idea why but it just doesn’t, maybe its the products and the color they use in the salon). Honestly — LADIES, hair is our main accessory, don’t be chap looking for $ 100 color and cut. Invest a LITTLE more and be FABULOUS! I learned my lesson and I will never go anywhere else!

I came in to see Cory for a haircut while on a homecoming trip from DC and I am loving my locks! I have pretty thick hair that is usually a challenge for most stylist to cut without making it too blunt or over layered but Cory got it right.
He listened to what I wanted and also shared his recommendations which was super refreshing. From there I watched as my straight parted down the middle long hair transform into healthy gorgeous and stylish locks that have received compliments ever since. If you’re in LA and in need of a great hair cut go see Cory he is awesome!

Came here from NJ. I own a hair studio and this place was great. Be prepared not to get star struck when you’re sitting in the chair– celebs are Normal people who get roots just like all of us! :)
Tim Duenas killed it on my hair! From someone who trained under him for years and has been looking up to him, I was more than excited for this moment when I booked my appointment with him. $ 225 is a great price for the time and energy he will put into a haircut. He worked along side of Nick Arrojo and doing hair for Project Runway as well as many other huge gigs. I would recommend him for cut as well as his wife, Tabitha for color. They know their stuff– a dynamic duo !
Tell them Danielle Hardy from CUT sent you! Xo

Nine Zero One is the best salon for blondes in LA. Morgan is amazing and does a fantastic job with both color and cut. They also have the best playlists which makes the experience so much more fun!

I have been to so many salons in LA and Nine Zero One is the best one thus far!
Everybody is good, but Morgan is my favorite. She did exactly what I asked for and although it is a bit pricey it’s soo worth it.
Exceptional cuts, latest trends and the best quality products!

I have been crazy over Molly’s incredible highlights and I seriously look forward to coming to the salon weekssss in advance. She knows what she is doing and makes you look amazing the second she touches your hair. It’s as if she has magical powers.

Amazing! I never write reviews but was so impressed and happy with my experience that I had to spread the word. Tabitha and Tim worked absolute magic on my hair. Never have I gotten as beautiful of color (Tabitha) or as good of a cut (Tim). Seriously, I can’t sing these two enough praises. I’m new to L.A. and wasn’t too sure of where to go or whom to see. I’m soooo glad I heard about Nine Zero One and was able to book an appointment.
The salon is bright and beautiful with a positive and fun ambiance. I have blonde hair and am very particular when it comes to the tone (I’ve had some disasters). Tabitha immediately put my mind at ease – truly listening to what I wanted. The color I got was everything I asked for and more. She also went out of her way to help me pick out the right product for my hair after my appointment – so warm and so talented!
Tim was equally wonderful and gave me the perfect cut and style. He wasn’t hurried (even though he had another last minute client waiting) and spent so much time giving me helpful styling tips, explaining his process, and just being friendly and conversational!
Thank you to Nine Zero One, Tabitha, and Tim for such a positive experience and for the beautiful hair I’ve been wanting!

Loved my experience!
Had a drastic chop by Amber. I told her to give me «The Hough» and she absolutely did; I love it. The girl knows what she is doing. Period.
The salon is super cute and welcoming. I love that this is a chick owned salon and they’re totally killing it. All the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Absolutely no L.A. bullshit, I straight up went in my modern day moo moo/​maxi dress maybe hung over from my birthday and felt totally comfortable. Kim, Amber’s assistant, was awesome and was so sweet to give me tips on styling my new do.
I’ve read all the reviews below. Let’s be real: It’s an LA salon. Obviously, it’s not a cheap hair cut, but you get what you pay for. Don’t be cheap, treat yourself, try something new. Totally worth it. Definitely going back!

5 stars for Florido! Today was my second time seeing him. My first visit was back in Oct 2014 at their old location which is now a dry bar.
I was worried when I first heard about this place that it would be a sceney, pretentious, weho type salon — which it is for sure. BUT Florido isn’t pretentious, snobby, judgey or anything like that. He makes you feel super comfortable and is so humble bc all I am looking for is a great cut!
On to the cut: I have loved both my cuts and my hair grew out amazing! His cuts curl really well and feel very light and more voluminous, which is key for me and my thin hair. And I noticed in pictures I really like how my hair looks when I do it myself which is key. I would likely recommend seeing him!

NICOLE is where it’s at! I’ve been getting my hair done by her for years and have to say she is SO beyond skilled. I mean why wouldn’t you want someone who has taught color all over the country!!? She’s passionate about what she does and is consistently excellent… whether it’s a new cut or just a trim or even damage control she is THE best stylist I’ve ever been to. I don’t even live in LA anymore and I still stretch my hair limit and wait to get out to Cali to see HER! Highly recommended, she’ll do what’s best for your hair… trust me!
And as far as the salon itself, classy and clean with character – from staff to service with stunning LA ambiance.

JILL IS AMAZING!!! I highly recommend Jill and will totally see her again. I’ve heard so many great things about this salon so was truly excited to get my hair cut here. I had a really awful experience at a much cheaper salon so felt like splurging, it paid off.
She was super sweet and extremely patient with me. I came in with long and boring mermaid hair in desperate need of a cut. Part of me wanted something very drastic like a lob but the other part loves beachy long hair. She explained in detail how both can work and how she would cut and style it.
I opted for the more drastic cut– the lob. She cut it dry which was a first for me so I can get a sense of how it will look. I really appreciated this, it was less terrifying. Yay!
PS it’s really easy to find street parking off Melrose Place, no need to valet!

Ever since moving to Los Angeles six years ago, I have been on a continual hunt for a hair dresser that would give me the hair color I wanted without the brassy tones, stripey highlights, etc. I finally came into Nine Zero One salon back in December 2014 for an appointment with Molly Haugh and completely fell in love with the hair color and look she gave me. First of all, Molly is genuine, sweet, and listened to what I wanted. She made me feel at ease about lightening my hair for the balayage and at the end of the appointment gave me tips on how to make my hair color last longer. The toning shampoo she recommended for me (sold at the salon) has been working supremely.
I came in last week for a toning/​touch up appointment for my hair and my mind has not changed about the salon or Molly. Both Molly and her assistant (Kelsey) make going to the salon fun and enjoyable. I don’t feel like I’m at a stuffy LA salon and I feel like they understand my style and what I am looking for.
Yes, the salon is more highly priced than other salons you may find (especially if you’re used to going through Lifebooker, etc), but when coloring your hair I think you should find it worthwhile to invest in somebody who knows what they are doing. I will definitely be returning to Nine Zero One for all my hair coloring/​hair cutting needs!
