Trim.

I just moved here from up north, and stumbled across trim. I figured 20 bucks....why not? It was the best haircut I ever had, and my stylist was super friendly. I even made an appointment for color next week, I highly recommend! Pros: beer and wine while you wait Cons: parking could be tough, but I was walking more

I tried out trim for the first time during the Abbot Kinney festival because I liked the vibe. The haircut was ok and the atmosphere was fun enough that it warranted a second visit. I am new to the LA area and was interested in a regular salon. On my second visit I encountered a host of problems. First, the receptionist didn't match the rest of the environment. She was a cranky elderly lady who verbally chastised the employees in front of the customers (red flag number one). She kind of had the feel of a factory supervisor keeping the workers in check. Then, while I was getting a haircut, she was harassing the stylist to hurry up for the next customer. Not a good feeling to know your stylist is doing a rush job on you with scissors in hand. The final straw occurred after I left. I had accidentally left my sunglasses at the stylist's station. These were mid grade mens sunglasses, about a $300 pair, not exorbitant, but not cheap either. I called afterwards, and the stylist had the glasses and put them in the receptionists drawer behind the counter with a note on them. When I returned a few days later the glasses had vanished. The cranky elderly lady (see red flag number one) at the front gave some sort of OJ simpson like defense claiming that there was no proof that someone had taken them. The owner never returned my calls, and no attempts were made to compensate me or at the very least offer an apology. Very sad experience overall, and the fact that some employees there obviously have pretty sticky hands, probably means there are some fault lines beneath the faux hip facade of this salon. Customer service isn't a high point because they seem quite ok with losing good customers. Id stay away, there are plenty of reputable places on Abbot Kinney and girls with tattoos aren't exactly a commodity in LA. more

i have the hardest time getting my boyfriend to tame his monster mane. We are new in town and found this little gem while cruising around the neighborhood on a lazy sunday. we got in with very little waiting and couldnt have been more thrilled. Trent was a cool talented barber who cleaned up his act fast. Its such a relief to have found a place we love to go. Trim turned what used to be a chore to for him into a fun experience. Cool chicks, cocktails, great atmosphere, and real talent. If youve got a picky guy on your hands make sure to ask for Trent. more

I am relatively new to the LA area and had been getting my hair cut at Nick Roth in Manhattan Beach, who always does a great job. But, after looking around on here at reviews I thought I would try out the trendy cool Trim that got so many great reviews. I think you have all been fooled by this ultra cool fascade that they put up because I didnt see one person walking out of this place with a professional looking style. So, they say they give you a drink while you wait...i wasnt offered anything. my stylist was some guy smothered in tatoos and pirecings. i get my wash then head over to the cutting station. He managed to drop the comb he was using on me atleast 4 times and then continue to use it on my hair without even washing it off. then he whips this straight blade out of the drawer and while shaving my neck hairs tells me that it is his personal use blade as well. Didnt seem sanatary to me. After the cut he didnt style it up for me really so it was hard to tell how this cut was really going to look. I got home and started looking it over. The sides and back of my head have the longest hairs...I cant get my hair to style any way at all, which is why he probably didnt style it when i was there. So, in short, one of the worst hair cuts and experiences ive had at a hair salon. also, for a place charging $50 for a cut I would expect the stylist to have studied in Europe or throw some type of legitimate experience at me. someone that went to cosmotolagy school in san jose doesnt really justify the cost. Pros: $20 first time Cons: youll need to get it cut by someone else when you leave more

I just wanted to let people know how much I loved my new hair. I was feeling so old and bored with my old hair stylist. Thank you soooo much Silvia for the awesome color and cut job, I didn't know exactly what i needed and you just looked at me and knew exactly what to do. more

I arrived a little early (managed to find a spot right out front on a busy Thursday night!) and was promptly seated in the waiting area. I moved to LA a year ago, and have had trouble finding the right stylist...but the reviews for trim were so great I thought I'd check it out. Victoria was my stylist and she was amazing. She was fun and nice and genuinely wanted me to have input and be happy with my cut. I didn't get it blown out since I was headed right to the gym, but when I styled it later I loved it even more! Thank goodness I found her, I'm making her my ""mane"" girl! Pros: $20 first time cut, fun environment, stylish Cons: Parking can be tricky more

So I visited Trim this past weekend. Nik was my stylist and she did an outstanding job! I like to keep my hair long so the best way for me to experiement is with color. It turned out fantastic. I have been getting compliments every day since I got it done. Thanks Nik! more

i just saw the owner Nik on a friends recommendation. this chick is a serious highlighting fool. she whipped the foils in faster than anyone ever before and did my blowdry in under 20 minutes. she claimes she is the ""fastest blowdry on the west side...guarenteed!"" Thank you Nik. you and your shop ROCK! more

So, I am relatively new to the area and have been bouncing around a bit looking for a place that ""wows"" me. I was having a little of trouble until someone recommended Trim to me. They also mentioned that your first visit to the salon was only $20, so I thought why not? I had Drea, and I must say I was impressed with the fact that she really wanted to make sure we were on the same page with our haircutting game plan. I have curly hair that I also like to straighten or curl, but I was having trouble getting the versatility I was looking for. She listened, offered her expertise and away we went. I love my results, it's easy to manage and it looks great every which way I wear it . I'm going to go back for some fall color and I can't wait to see what she whips up...I'm definitely wow'd :) Pros: 20 bucks rocks Cons: haven't found one yet more

I came to LA to visit a friend and wanted to get a haircut while I was there. I was recommended Summer at Trim and I am very pleased. I'm happy to take the time to recommend her to others. I just told her to do what she thought best and she did a great job. I plan to see her again whenever I go back to LA. more

I've had my hair cut by Summer at Trim for several months now and I'm very pleased with the quality of the attention and service as well as by the actual ""cut."" She's tremendously attentive to detail and sensitive to exactly what I'd like done with my hair. However, I'm never reluctant to trust her opinion if I need to change it up. Highly recommended salon and stylist. more

I ran into trim last week to get my hair fixed from this disaster of a haircut I got down the street. Jaimee was booked, but she fit me in.I think she felt my pain when she looked at my hair. After she was done my hair looked amazing! I didnt have to cancel my date that night after all. I even booked an appointment for color this week. I can't wait. Thanks Jaimee you saved me!!! Pros: friendly and helpful more

Trim's a rad place. more

For those who want a quick recommendation - go see Dina at Trim. Friendly service, great stylist! Pros: chill atmosphere, talented and professional stylists Cons: street parking - although fairly easy to find more

I had to write about Trim once again, I live in the East Coast and come out here twice a year. I see Silvia who has been there for a while I guess since she has been doing my hair for 3 yrs now. Pros: Results and ambiance Cons: damn 1 hr.parking more

the description says trendy but it has actually has a friendly comfy local feel. Pros: top-notch salon with laid-back vibe. excellent service & freindly prices. Cons: parking on Abbott-Kinney can be challenging more

I've been looking for a new hair stylist and decided to get my hair cut and colored for the first time at Trim a few weeks ago and I love it!!! I figured that there aren't that many reviews on here about Diane (the stylist that cut my hair), so I decided to write a review on how happy I am with my haircut. I consider myself pretty picky when it comes to my hair and she did a great job with my cut and color. I've had terrible luck with hairstylists for the last 3 years since my regular stylist moved away. Basically, I absolutely LOVE trim and will definitely be going back!!! The first time customer price is a great way to get new customers in the door. Thanks, Diane! Pros: Great hair, atmosphere, and people Cons: Parking, parking and parking more

Abbott Kinney, the trendy, artsy part of Venice. At first I thought Trim would be an overpriced, trendy salon with pretty girls and high prices. Well it's scores 1 out of 2 on looks and price (looks win, price is right) Pros: Great local salon Cons: not enough people support local businesses like these more

So, Im new to the area and was in desperate need of some help. I had been to a pricey salon in Beverly Hills and the experience was impersonal and the results dissapointing. Upon my daughters referal I went to Trim to see her usual stylist, Dina. It was a big job, We had to repair my color, due to my home job, and fix a haircut that didnt suit my style. Even before she had my hair dry i could tell the color was a success. Even better was the was cut, Dina took how i wear my hair on a day to day basis into consideration. The cut was not over styled, or impossible for me to make look good, and the color was just perfect. She even gave me some great tips to help me make it look even better at home. Ill be back to see Dina for sure, the experience was great and the price was more than fair. Pros: great experienced staff Cons: sometimes parking can be a struggle more

My new favorite place. Not only did i get in right away without an appointment, but the stylist was cool, the place was super clean, and the price...$20 bucks. SWEEEEET! The music was a bonus too, who doesnt want to listen to the Foo-Fighters and sip an ice cold beverage, while having their hair cut by some totally cool chick? and then comes the bonus...i go up to pay, and it was really $20 bucks for the first visit. HA. AWESOME! Thanks ladies, ill be back. BTW my stylist was one of the owners, ""Nik"". Sort of a hottie. Just sayin. Pros: Price, cleanliness, friendly more
