Absolutely love it

Elisa D is my colorist!

HNL — Hair, nails, lashes. They should have put a «+» sign at the end because I leave there with good energy, a sense of friendship and some useful tips for other parts of my health & beauty regimen that’s even on the natural/​organic side and is cost effective. In fact, they’ve never promoted/​pushed their products on me but I’m more likely to purchase them because when they use them on me, the outcome looks amazing to my eyes! You really are in good, caring, professional hands with the people who work here. Also, parking has been easy for me as they have their own in the back. But a lot of people love going here so I come during a weekday a. m as being an entrepreneur allows me the time to do so. They get busier Thurs-​Sat. So parking might be challenging during those afternoons. Nice neighborhood and great décor & vibe inside the studio.
Now on to the review: This is my well-​overdue review for microlinks hair extension and lash extensions. Please note that the prices may vary a bit depending on your hair, needs, what these experts recommend may be best for accomplishing the look that you seek and the quality of the materials.
Microlink hair extensions: Helen is awesome with her craft she’s also a good-​natured, beautiful person who truly cares about her clients. She’s accomodating as well as an expert in this field. I’ve loved my short hair for a few years now but I started missing my long, dark locks from years before the cut so I’ve been growing out my hair. But after reaching an awkward phase of it, I couldn’t wait! My business has been good so I could afford an investment in my look. And it really is an investment in time (3 – 4 hours for the first time I got them done) and money ($ 600-​$ 900 based on how many bundles of the high quality hair I needed to look beautiful and balanced on my naturally thick hair). I had to come in for a consultation first, pick the hair that look best for me and order the hair before the appointment to apply them.
I was happy with the result as well as the conversations I had with Helen! She even advised me on how to take care of them so they can withstand my workouts (I love working out a lot), sleeping and how to make sure my natural hair blends with the extensions when styling (I usually like the straightened look anyway and blending my real hair with the real-​hair extensions is easy using a flat iron). And you can always text her with questions but I also looked at some how-​to tutorials on YouTube. In the end, my extensions looked great and it lasted past the 3 months before I had to come in to get them adjusted (Around $ 300 which comes with doing your hair so it looks fantastic when you leave). Even with my active lifestyle, constant showering and shampooing, they stayed put and looked natural! It even looks good in a plain ponytail. It’s funny how I didn’t care for my natural long hair as much as I do with these but it’s training me to do so and it probably comes with getting older and hopefully wiser.
Lash extensions: I love Celeste! I leave her station having laughed, feeling connected and looking fabulous! I’ve had really expensive lash extensions done in the past and after Celeste was done with me, I felt so ashamed that I didn’t go here in the first place because she does excellent work (she’s meticulous yet only takes 1 hour for me but may vary depending on what may look good or the needs of each of her clients) and uses high quality soft materials and non-​toxic glues that stay put. It was $ 150 for the first time and then $ 60 for refills (she taught me how to care for them that they still look good after 3 weeks and again, I do high intensity workouts and sweat like I’m in a steam room!). She even gives you these awesome silicone based lash brushes that actually brush through your lashes rather than those other brushes that just collect a lot of lint and only brush the outside.
These lashes have cut down my makeup regimen by 15 minutes as I don’t feel like putting on eyeliner or curl (she gave me a curled look) or add mascara. It looks like I’ve already done all that. I feel like I have flirty, doll eyes even when I have no make-​up on. Caring for them is easy and can actually help train you to be more gentle around your eyes and sleep in a way that causes less wrinkles. Though I suggest booking ahead of time before you really need to get them filled, she has been known to fit you into her already tight schedule for events that are coming up quickly or if a lot of lashes came out because you sweated too much in an intense kick-​boxing class and forgot you had lash extensions (they’re so light weight) and your head band, like I did! She is accomdating but let’s care for those who care for us! I like to tip them well because I feel so cared for while there and feel fabulous when I leave.
All in all, I love this place, the people and the results. I finally found a salon that I don’t feel like I’m just doing a grooming chore, I actually look forward to coming here.

I love this place. I come here regularly for lash extensions and facials and let me tell you, Celeste is the best. For lashes, she knows exactly what length looks good on my eye shape and she is always professional and friendly. Love her!

The Girls at HNL are amazing!!! Eliza is by far the most experienced hair dresser Ive ever had do my extensions! She’s such a perfectionist which makes her work right on point! They were comfortable and lasted 3 ½ months! I had the best hair cut of my life by Helen! My mom’s cut my hair my whole life (she is a hair dresser) but it was time to find someone new and Im so glad I did. She’s a great listener and really takes in what you want! Lastly Brigitte does the best nail’s/nail art in town! She’s very detailed and does a perfect job every time!

Had a few facials with Priscilla. She’s awesome! My skin has never felt this great. She’s professional and affordable. She uses only the top quality products and is always updating the régime according to my personal needs. Highly recommended.

today I went for the first time and got a pedicure at HNL. I recognized Bridgette from another nail studio and we started talking.
Although there is only two pedicure chair areas it’s perfect. The pedicure area is tucked away so your not hearing or seeing everyone else getting their services done. There is a wide variety of color! I love love love that they have the holographic polishes.
Bridgette is such a sweetheart. She was kind, professional and started my appointment on time. I also spilled some coffee and she didn’t make a big deal about it. Honestly I’ve never had someone be that sweet during a pedicure. SHE TAKES HER TIME AND GIVES A GOOD MASSAGE. I will definitely be back for another pedicure and will have to come back for a mani!
Thanks again Bridgette!

If I could I would give these girls +5 more starts. They are the BEST! I was referred here by one of my good friends and I am glad I came in. My hair was dead and the color was just DEAD and ugh hate it. Eliza was able to start and finish the look I’ve been wanting too and without damage ANY I mean NO damage to my hair. I just went back for retouch and a more ashy look and she took care of me and made sure it was what I was looking for and again no damage whatsoever. She is dedicated and takes her time. All the girls there are gorgoeus, friendly and always is such a great mood. They were all attentive. They are worth it. See you soon girls.
Best,
Maria and Leola

Yay for beautiful nails and hair! I am beyond thrilled with my experience at HNL, I can’t believe I just barely found them! First let me start with my nails… Brigitte is by far the best nail artist I’ve ever been to and I’m not just saying that. The detail in her work and her creativity is phenomenal! More than highly recommend her!
I also got layers added to my hair and I’m so glad I did it with Helen. She took her time with my consultation and I didn’t feel like she was rushing to just start and give me a basic trim. She really listened to what I wanted and I took her advice on what she thought would be best for my type of hair and my face shape. She is amazing!
Overall my experience here was absolutely amazing. I loved the gorgeous atmosphere of this salon. They had good music playing, it was clean, the décor is SO cute and the staff is so nice. I would highly recommend them to everyone I know.

I found out about this salon when I came in for a body wrap next door last November. When I was leaving i saw that they have a salon next door. I started having a conversation with Eliza who is the owner of the salon. I have had hair extensions for over 10 years and I have tried maybe over 50 places and all of them promised to provide the best hair extensions ever so I said let me try one more place. This was the best choice I ever made for myself and my hair … I will never go anywhere else, Eliza is an expert In hair color/​extensions. Not only has my hair grown out and become healthier, my hair extensions are the best. They look and feel natural and actually stay on your head…
If you guys are looking for great hair extensions, color or any other service then you have to go and see Eliza and Helen… These girls are super friendly and always welcoming…
Helen and Eliza are also very good at blowouts and curls I would know I come here almost twice a week …

There really aren’t enough adjectives to do justice for this place! Oh my goodness, they are so kind and accommodating that it really makes you feel comfortable and at ease. There are friendly and welcoming glances as you come through the door. You are then able to relax and take it all in and enjoy your pampering!
I spotted this place one day as I drove down Ventura and decided I would try it the next time my regular hair person was unavailable. I am so happy I called them… even though it was at the last minute on the evening before the 4^th of July, they had no snippy attitude on the phone and were genuinely pleased to have me come in. Wow, not what I was getting from other salons as I called around!
My amazing hair guru was Helen, and I absolutely adore her! (you will too!) As all the other reviews mention, she is so sweet and incredible with hair! She actually listens to your requests and carefully studies any pictures you may have brought. She doesn’t push you into something you don’t want, she respects your wishes! Honestly this was probably the best haircut and style I’ve gotten in a long time. Even when she blows it dry, and she uses her magic round brushes, she didn’t get my (very fine) hair caught up or snagged once! I don’t think that has ever happened before! Yay Helen! The shampoo was like a little spa pampering as she did this magical scalp massage before putting on lots of yummy smelling conditioners and potions to achieve the finished result. AND, as others have noted, they are gracious enough to offer you beverages and goodies… I opted for champagne! Salud!
Oh, and the décor is fun and charming. I happen to love purple, so when I saw the walls were that color, it made me smile. It has a more mellow vibe than other salons, but I’d say their work there (which btw, includes everything from men’s and women’s hair, to nails to facials and brows and even some laser treatments I believe!) is definitely on par with the trendiest/​most cutting edge salons one might find anywhere in Los Angeles.
I parked on the street (metered) since it was available, but they have parking in the back, fyi.

The salon was absolutely exceptional the staff is extremely professional the work is cutting edge The prices are very competitive. Helen was my hairstylist and she was absolutely amazing. The owner is stunning and absolutely a pleasure to be around. They offered drinks there and on Tuesdays and Thursdays while you’re getting your hair done there’s a guy that could wash your car for $ 15 and he does really good job.

Been getting my brows maintained here by Celeste for a bit over a year now. The location is amazing clean, parking accesible and she is always on time (sometimes even early).
In and out with ease. The price is the same as everywhere else but the personal care is head and shoulders above anyone else.

HNL is a hip, chic, and trendy salon with many services. They do hair, nails, makeup, teeth whiting, facials, and more. All the hairstylist are very talented. What a great team you have! My favorites being Helen and Eliza. I always leave here feeling pampered and looking great. They use top products and prices are very affordable. Hands down the best salon in the area.
This is the place to go if you want to be pampered and feel beautiful!!!

if your looking for a beautiful salon with amazing staff/​hairdressers/​nail tech/​makeup artist! HNL is your spot, I don’t normally get my hair done often because I have never found someone who does exactly what I’m looking for, but LIZ is amazing! I’ll keep coming to her. The other ladies there were very friendly and offered refreshments and asked if I was comfortable. I also saw the amazing work they did on other ladies. You will be happy to come to this place

In need of an amazing hair dresser? got to Liz. No doubt her work is amazing. Very sweet, attentive, and always makes sure her customers are satisfied.
Love Her! :)

I am so happy to have found Lizbeth, wow, she is amazing. She takes her time to listen you her clients. I’m very happy with my hair. I can’t wait to comeback and continue to have her care for my hair. I just simply can’t say how happy I am with how my hair turn out. It’s a Christmas Eve and I have beautiful hair thanks to Lizbeth.

I first came to this place just to get my teeth whitened and after my amazing results I decided to give the hair salon a try as well. I am the type of person who always goes to different salons because I cannot seem to find one person who is able to do exactly what I need them to do but I am happy to say that I found this person at HNL. So far I’ve had my hair colored, blowdried, I’ve had extensions put in as well as my makeup done. Hair looks fabulous and make up looked great. I go to Eliza for my hair (color, cut, blowdry) and Elo for my makeup although Elo gives great blowdries as well. Helen is also amazing at what she does! Ive seen some of her work and its flawless!
Most importantly they are all wonderful people and know exactly how to treat a customer. There’s always coffee, tea, and refreshments available at the salon. They are always asking you if you’re comfortable or if you’d like something to eat or drink. Which I think is really important because sometimes you can be there for almost half a day getting your hair bleached!
They have a huge parking lot in the back that has plenty of spaces for HNL customers. Try this place and I promise you will not be disappointed!

This is by far the best salon I have been to. I wanted to get a blow dry and make up done for my cousin’s engagement party, so I walked in thru the doors of HNL Studio. The place was very well lit, spacious, had an amazing aroma and someone to welcome me with a warm smile. The music was uplifting and exciting and put me in a great mood. The waiting area had comfortable couches, free WiFi, refreshments, and charging stations for my phone and iPad. So my first impression was a very inviting and uplifting one.
After a brief wait, Eliza K., the hair stylist welcomed me and showed me to my seat.
I have to say she gave me the best blow dry and the prettiest make up application I’ve ever had. I also found out they provide professional spa services by a certified staff member so I bought a facial service with Michaela.
On another visit I went back for my facial and received the BEST facial I’ve ever had.
This business has won me and my loyalty over. I’m already scheduled to go for my next visit. HNL has won me over and I will never go to any other place. Eliza K and team are THE BEST and NICEST!!!
I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in a complete customer experience with superb results.

I love this salon and so happy I found them. Everyone is so friendly and professional.
I see the super talented Brigette for nails. She is the best I have found. She takes her time and does an amazing job on my mani pedi. Her nail art is hands down the best in the valley. Book her, you will thank me.
I also see Helen for blow out and styling. Just wow, this woman is a wizard with the dryer and curler. Her styling is super precise and consistent. They are really reasonably priced. You will love this salon and if you book with the two talented artists mentioned I promise you will not be disappointed.
