Hi lovely mommies,
I am in desperate need to find a new hairdresser! I love my usual guy, but I cannot drive to Long Beach any more, it's just too far. I need to get in this week, and need someone who is great at his/her craft. I have a short, stylish cut, and very simple blonde highlights. Thank you so much for any referrals you may have:)
Ok, so I first want to Thank all of you who replied to my post! When I was doing my original post, I had to re-write the subject line(I had run out of room)and unbeknownst to me I didn't retype the location:( So... I needed a hairdresser in the San Fernando Valley. I actually chose a referral from one of my personal messages, a stylist named Brenda in Woodland Hills. If anyone needs someone in that area, she was great!! She gave me exactly what I wanted, and also some product/styling advice. She too, is a new mom and the fit was perfect:)Please let me know if any of you would like her info. Thank you again to all who wrote....especially Michelle W. for the referral:)

It looks like you already have several suggestions to choose from, but I'll throw in my two cents. My stylist is Carol Lieberstein at Michelangelo Hair House in Woodland Hills ###-###-####, 19710 Ventura Blvd.). She does amazing cuts and beautiful color--I've been going to her for years. I trust her to give me cuts that look fabulous even when I have no time to style them at all, and she always does! (Right now I am wearing my hair very short with blond highlights, and I have gotten so many compliments from her excellent work.) I don't know what your budget is, but I consider her to be worth every penny.

I have a friend named Gina who owns her salon in Riverside/Corona area. She is the queen of highlights. Most of her clients have been walking advertisements for highlights. A lot of people have been referred to her because strangers would walk up to them and ask them who does their hair. Eternal Impressions Hair Salon ###-###-####. She is a really sweet person who has years of experience. Good Luck!

My stylist in Beverly Hills has been giving me great short haircuts for years. I don't let anybody else even think about touching my hair. She is also known as an excellent colorist, but I'm brunette and don't have the patience (or need yet) to play with color, so I can't share any personal experience with her coloring, except to say that everybody I've ever seen walk out of that shop looks terrific. She is very reasonably priced as BH goes -- Soonie @ Bruno & Soonie. ###-###-####.

I was also looking for someone closer since having my little guy because of the time window I now deal with breastfeeding. I found someone who is great! She is the manager of Carlton Hair in the Burbank Town Center, Katrina. She won't be the chatty, hang out with the girls type but man can she cut hair! I had her do a layered longer cut on me with blond highlights and got EXACTLY what I asked for which is rare! I will say it again...the woman is talented! Good luck....

Hello H.,
I was a hair stylist, but got seriously injured in my neck and shoulders , which has held me back from working in the field!! Which is very frustrating & upsetting, but I know everything happens for a reason! I now have an almost 15 months old daughter, which I never thought my neck/back would allow, without excruciating pain! Luckily everything worked out, and I have a wonderful little family and a I am currently a stay @ home mommy!! I worked at Jon of Italy Salon & Day Spa for several years prior to my injury.. I highly recommend Rita Lahner, she is a Hair Stylist and specializes in Color! She has been highlighting and cutting, my hair for several years & been in the industry for probably 25 years.. I think she is the best, and I only go to her!! Give a call to Jon of Italy on Tuesday, and make an appt. She usually can get you in.. If not this week like you need, there are many great hairstylists their! Good luck and best wishes for a wonderful New Year!!
Kind Regards,
S.

Hi!
I recently moved from Northridge, CA. to Oxford, OH...but I still get this blog...and happened to read your request for a great hairdresser. When in Northridge I saw Alfred at Profiles Salon. I have been gone for a year and haven't had anything professionally done to my hair - I miss him dearly! The salon is average in price (so not cheap), but Alfred is a master colorist...please tell him I said hello if you go! and goodluck...I do not trust my hair to many people, especially when it comes to color.
