THE POWDER ROOM

Felicia was amazing a got my hair color and cut exactly how I wanted! Super fun to chat with too!

Felicia was great! Listened to what I was looking for and did an awesome job. Plus she was super fun to chat with. I’ll be going back :)

I should have done this review a long time ago but I was too afraid and don't like being the bearer of bad news. I lived in El Segundo really close to this shop about two years ago. I am a black woman and have afro textured hair. I called multiple salons in the area beforehand and told them my hair texture and asked if they had someone familiar with my hair type and to straighten it. This place said they did and gave me the most inexpensive price so i made an appointment with them. Once inside i felt out of place. The hair dresser washed and conditioned my hair and then began straightening it. I could tell she didn't know what she was doing and she was uncomfortable. The other hair dresser was giving her pointers on what hair product would work with my hair which surprised me because she was supposed to be the experienced one. I could tell she was struggling and she started getting frustrated. It seemed like, this was her first time working with afro textured hair. And it was not a good experience for me either. At some point, she didn't want to finish curling/styling my hair but suggested I come back in a couple days so she could finish it because she had another client soon. I said no because I needed it done tonight for something. She finally finished and was frustrated and then charged me more than the range I was given over the phone. I should have said something then but i didn't. I quietly paid more and did not make a fuss. Then I left with a bad taste in my mouth as it was the worse salon service I have ever received and my hair was garbage. I could have straighten my hair better than that. I don't think I should have paid. I called ahead for this exact reason. To make sure I would be with someone experienced with afro textured hair. I was very disappointed. If someone says they can do something, then deliver but they did not and should have just said they wouldn't be able to do it. I shouldn't have come in feeling like my hair was a novelty and hair dressers looking on as if they were surprised when I was told by them they had someone experienced with my hair type.

Sabrina is amazing! Engaging, empatheric, wonderful, and warm personality; meticulous and professional. A definite recommendation.

The best stylists ever at the Powder Room . Always a wonderful experience!

Was Great to go and get a Great Haircut Thanks Erika

Kim, you are a lifesaver!

Husband loved men's hair cut with Pauline! What a fun salon with easy, comfy atmosphere.

Kim is the absolute best. A talented hair stylist with a big heart. She always greets you with a huge smile. My color is gorgeous and I love the cut she gave me and my teen.

I have been coloring my hair for over 16 years now and this is the first time I've left a salon feeling this good! Carly did an incredible job on my color!! I am constantly getting compliments from strangers, friends and family. Thank you Carly. Looking forward to coming back :).

Love this salon! I've been coming every 4-6 weeks for about 2 years since my fave stylist moved out of the area. Kim is just amazing! I love the way she always takes a fresh look at my hair so it's not the same old cut & color every appointment! She usually asks if I'd like to try out a new subtle touch of color as a highlight. I love that because it keeps me from going into a rut! This month it was some nice warm brown tones as we move into the fall season. What a perfect idea to freshen up my look! They keep a wide variety of beverage choices & snacks which is a super nice bonus. There is always some cute jewelry, makeup & a wide assortment of hair products to browse through. All the stylists are friendly & chatty without being too overbearing. Overall a wonderful experience

Gurrrrlllll if you like that perfect sun kissed bougie blonde, go see your girl Felicia. I told her what I wanted and she nailed it. I love my color and cut so much. Everyone is friendly at the salon and Felicia is super cool and fun to chat with.

Wow- Carly is just amazing! She is thoughtful and sincerely listens to you. You can tell this is her passion and she takes her craft seriously. She is just a lovely person. Plus she gives a great scalp massage when washing your hair! I highly recommend her. I love what she does with my hair!

First time at This lovely establishment. Carly was amazing & a pleasure to have cut my hair. I highly recommend this spot for people looking for a new place

This is long overdue, I got my hair done a couple of weeks back and I am super happy with the results and the level of service provided. My husband got me a gift certificate with Kim Huntoon. I hadn't met her before but she took care of me and gave me exactly what I wanted. The staff there is really friendly. I will definitely be going back

What a great vibe this salon has. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly faces and a glass of wine! I had my appointment at 6 and right at 6 I was in my chair. Kelly was a doll, her bright smile paired well with pleasant conversation. She asked what I was looking for and when I responded with that fact that I really wasn't sure, she worked her magic! She suggested to lighten me up, I agreed. I am not a fan of giant streaks and Kelly did the absolute opposite. Kelly's work is beautiful, dare I say natural looking-when speaking of color? The pictures don't do my hair justice, the colors blend nicely. I left here feeling happy and pampered. The parking was easy and the salon is within walking distance of a bite to eat. The chairs were newer, comfy and clean. The candy bar, free wine and relaxing shampoo job has me already looking forward to my next visit!

Kim is the best! Love my color and cut every time. I am soooo happy they are open again after Covid! Thank you Kim!!!!!

The best salon! Carly is my favorite stylist I've ever had for both cut and color. She listens to what you want and always nails it. If you're looking for a new hair dresser you cannot go wrong with Carly. TRUST ME you won't regret it!!

I'm a dude with long hair. I sometimes have a hard time explaining to a stylist what I'm actually looking for, but Felicia was able to understand me. She did a great job and my hair looks amazing! The salon has a good vibe and I'm looking forward to going back.

You've gotta love a place with a coffee/candy AND wine bar. I got a Brazillian blowout here with Kelly and it was an awesome experience (see photo)...super cute and professional place. So glad to have found it!

The girls are great at this salon! I would highly recommend this place. Super chic, staff of friendly and attentive, always a pleasant experience. I see Erika! but have heard wonderful things about all of them. :)

Carly SAVED my hair! She styled my hair beautifully just in time for Labor Day in Vegas. I'm pretty picky about my hair, but I have no complaints about Carly. You can tell she really cares about her customers and takes time to get the job done right. From the moment I sat in her chair I felt at ease. She was very hospitable, and made me feel comfortable. She was willing to take the extra time to get my hair just the way I wanted it! She also showed me how to style and curl my hair, which I loved! I highly recommend Carly! I will definitely be back!

My new favorite place. This salon is so cute filled with such sweet people. Sabrina is amazing. She has such a warm and welcoming personality. Not only was my appt filled with good conversation and energy but I love my new hair! So happy I found a new salon and amazing stylist. I highly recommend :)

My experience was very similar to Kim H.'s on here, but it was with a different stylist: things were fine in the past, but the last time I came, the stylist told me ahead of time that she was running late and to arrive later, which I did, but I arrived too late in her point of view. She refused to keep the appointment and said her assistant would be doing my hair instead. I said I had made my appointment with her for her expertise, and would be happy to reschedule, but I wouldn't be having her assistant do my hair without a discount. She became very angry, and instead of rescheduling with me, she lectured me on punctuality and made personal attacks in front of her clients and staff, prefacing it with, "I love you, but...". We didn't "love" each other and had no personal relationship, so that was very strange for me. I said I was done and was going to leave and she yelled something at me as I walked out. It was an embarrassing and difficult experience for me, and I've never gone back. I also agree with Kim that there are some people with alcohol problems that work there. Employees are often loudly talking about partying and making vulgar comments. To each their own, but it's not a relaxing environment for clients that want to get away from drama and have a break from a hectic life.

Thank you Kelly G. For fixing my damaged hair. I was in tears when i arrived at your hair studio . I owe you! You reversed the damage and corrected my hair color how I originally wanted the color. Plus you made me smile and laugh... so i forgot about all the wasted money and time from the last experience i had . You are a hair Angel. Bravo!!!!!!

The Powder Room is a hip, new, cool salon in El Segundo. I have been going to Robin and Erika for years, they are miracle workers. A few years ago I had a health issue and lost mass amounts of hair. It was so upsetting but Robin did research and developed tips and tricks so you wouldn't notice the hair loss. I was so grateful to her. And her hair cuts and color are amazing. I am brunette but I am in awe of what she does with blondes and red heads too. Erika is the owner of the shop. She is a young, creative, energetic artistic genius. The shop is very pretty and you feel like you are at home there. I highly recommend you go to the Powder Room, you wont be disappointed.

This is specifically for hair dresser Kim Huntoon. She has been my hair dresser for 10 years now and I will follow her wherever she goes. One of the most caring individuals and great stylist you will meet with reasonable prices.

The Powder Room is old time salon chic without being too girlie! They don't have that South Bay snobbery other salons have, just great hair and great people! Erika and Robin are so sweet and talented. Robin has done bobs, color and even purple tips on me, all looking fantastic! Run over there and change your life for the better!

Carly was everything I've been looking for my hair. She understood my thickness and that I am still trying to grow out my hair (grown out buzz cut). She was able to shape it and kept checking in with me on length and how I felt about it. Definitely booking appointments with her in the future

Carly does such a great job! I tried it because it was local and I could book online, but now I keep going back! She listens really well to what you want. The coloring is incredible and she really works hard to make sure you love what you walk out with.so glad I found her, and can't imagine going anywhere else!

Sabrina is an amazing stylist, she not only will make you look great on the outside but feel great on the inside! Love this salon!

I love the Powder Room!!! My initial stylist went to be a mama full time, so she left me in good hands with Sabrina. Sabrina, is detailed, professional, and very sweet. My base, hi/low lights and cut are always on point. Sabrina is amaze-balls, and I L O V E this salon!

The best looking salon for the best looking hair. Friendly creative staff. A great small town oasis in the middle of a grand city.

I'm over the moon!! I loveee how Sabrina did my hair. All the ladies are not only beautiful, but so sweet and attentive. After the compliments I've received...I can say I found my hair stylist. Sabrina, if you're reading this....you are too bloody awesome!! I recommend this place to all the ladies and gents who just want to relax, get pampered and chit-chat.

I've been going to the powder room for Three years now. My stylist Kelly is A M A Z I N G! I know what I like and I can be very picky and Kelly has never let me down. She leaves my hair looking and feeling great and F A B U L O U S. My highlights are always on point and I always receive complements even when months have passed and I've been too busy to come in and get my hair done. Not only does Kelly do a wonderful job but her happy/positive vibes keep you coming back for more! I highly recommend coming to see Kelly if you want to receive phenomenal service with a little extra fun!

Love this place, and my new regular stylist, Robin! She's wonderful, the whole staff is super-nice, salon is cute and comfortable, and it's a super-convenient location in El Segundo. My cut and color is fabulous, too!

This is not about the salon, which is quite friendly and comfortable. This is about a specific stylist that works there. Sabrina. I've been going to Sabrina for several months since I moved to LA and she always did a good job. This last time however my hair turned out horrible and the reaction when I called her on it was the most unprofessional thing I've ever experienced and should serve as a caution for anyone seeking her services. The story: I booked an appointment via text for a base color and blonde highlights- as I had been doing since I began seeing her. I ran late- which I mention because she used that as an excuse for the screw up, despite me being in the shop for over 3 hours, despite her actually running :15 late to the original appointment time herself.. when I showed up she said she only have time to do a bit of blonde in the back (which is not what I needed), so I specfically asked her to make sure instead that I had blonde highlights around my face as a brown perimeter leaves me looking "cragy and sickly". This is a recurring ask and something we had discussed at each appointment previously. I repeated this ask twice during the appointment because I was concerned when she didn't seem to tackle the area, and when I left, hair wet, because she doesn't blow me out, I mentioned again that it seemed very dark around my face. It is important to note that she charged me the same as she had when I got previous base and highlights. After dinner where two separate people asking me if I had dyed the front of my hair brown, I went home to fully dry it and take a look. I had a large bleached part on the back left side of my hair, no balance on my right, and most importantly, a large dark brown perimeter that didn't seem to match with the rest of my base and didn't have the requested blonde highlights. I immediately sent her a text telling her that that I felt ugly and I needed to make an appointment to fix it immediately. What I got back was a long text about how it was because I was late but no offer to fix it. When I replied that I had been there for over 3 hours which was ample time to do a good job (remember each of the 5 appointments I'd had recently was at least 3 hours) she said that she had done me "a favor" because she typically charged $80 per hour. After more back and forth, what would have been a simple fix by a more professional stylist (as people make mistakes and fix them all the time in hair ) turned into me leaving this bad review. and never going back again. When a client asks for a specific task, if you cant do it, then you say so. You don't say you will do it, charge her for it, accept a tip, say you did it, and then get mad when the client points out it didnt get donw. You dont use time as an excuse when the person is at your salon for over three hours, and you dont get nasty and use personal information shared in the session as a defense point- as she did in her texts when she said she'd "pray for me". And if you're hung over- as I think she was based on what she told me about her night out before, you don't take it out on your client. Net net- She did a fine job in the past, but her emotional maturity and unprofessionalism makes her someone I wouldn't trust ever again. My hair looks crazy and it will probably cost me another $100 to fix it, but I'll go to a place where Im being serviced by an adult. This is a classic example of extremely bad service both in the chair and in the customer service that follows. Its only a matter of time until it happens again. shame because the salon is a nice place.

They say you don't know what you've got until it's gone. That is so true when it comes to how much I miss Erika, now that I've moved back east! She is an amazing and creative stylist. I would go in with a general idea and then just let her work her magic. I never left disappointed. I have yet to find anyone who compares!! The salon itself is adorable, with a laid back vibe and is located in the cute downtown area of El Segundo. If you are looking for a top notch stylist in a well designed and welcoming atmosphere, this is your place. So, do yourself a solid and book an appointment with Erika!!

Awesome salon! I am very picky on who does my hair. I have very long hair and a lot of it. Sabrina did an amazing job! She added layers to it (very scary thing for long hair) they are not choppy or to much. Love love the texted she gave to it, and the new highlights! Along with long hair it's dark! They do not look orangish or to chunky! Very tasteful, cute and a bit of a pop!! Got a lot of complaints on my new do! :-) 100% recommend this place ask for Sabrina!!!

great salon, decorated so nicely, clean and very "girly". Parking is good, they offer cold water, coffee, tea and wine. As always Kim is so good at what she does.

Powder Room is where you want to go, the atmosphere is fun and social. Kim is amazing and performs magic with my thick, curly hair. I love that she is constantly learning new color techniques, so we always have something new to try. The best part about my cut and color is that I get as many compliments when I'm due for a color as when I first get my color. Such talent!

2 years later and I am still in love with The Powder Room! Sabrina is the best, and I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair in my life!

Sabrina is awesome. Super sweet. Takes her time and understands what you want. She cuts my little girl's hair too and does a great job! Staff is sweet and friendly too.

Sabrina is the best! She is not only professional, friendly, and caring, but she truly looks out for you and offers the best hair care there is! I cant say enough about her and her work... shes amazing.

I was referred to Sabrina through a friend after I had a bad experience with another stylist. Sabrina is amazing! She fixed my hair color from the previous stylist and cut my hair exactly how I want. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair. She was attentive and great to talk to. Sabrina is my go-to stylist now. Love her!!

Love this trendy and welcoming hair salon. My hair dresser Kim Huntoon is the best and makes my hair "BEE YOU TEE FUL". The place is friendly and it feels like your in an upscale home.They offer you alcoholic and non -alcoholic beverages and sweets if your interested. They have all the best hair products with state of the art equipment and the place just shines. I love coming here and hanging out even if I'm not getting my hair done- because it's a cool place to be. El Segundo needed a place like and I'm a happy client.

First time at The Powder Room was a couple of days ago. I followed Kim here (of course!) and was delighted with the experience. This salon obviously cares about its clients. It's beautifully decorated, has a full line of the great products, has comfortable chairs and even has snacks and beverages available. What's not to love?!!

Love staying local to get my hair done! My teenage daughter and I have seen Sabrina 3-4 times now. She does a fabulous job cutting my daughter's very thick hair. She knows that neither one of us has time to blow dry, or style, so she takes that into consideration with our cuts, making sure they are easy to manage. She has also colored my hair several times, and always wants to communicate about how the color worked out the last time, and what changes I would like to make. She listens to my needs, and then comes up with a plan. The salon is very beautiful on the inside, and I always feel like I'm being pampered. One day, I'm going to get to head over in the afternoon and take advantage of all of their tasty beverage options (ie- the wine)!
