Etual by Larisa Salon & Spa

Wrong color for ombré resulted in ugly on me brass gold and green color.

I went there twice for a facial with Nika, so far very happy. Clean, friendly and professional. Thank you!

This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had at a hair salon. If you need any sort of coloring job, go to Lena, she’s a color specialist and she’s amazing! I honestly can’t say enough good things about her work. I came in to have ombré redone after a mediocre job done back in December at a different salon. I wasn’t even expecting it to come out this good!
She took her time on me and really made sure it was perfect. When her next client came, she did not begin rushing on me, like most stylists do. Instead, she continued to do what she was doing. Furthermore, I had a lot of questions on why this why that how and more. She answered all my questions in detail and explained her actions as she went.
It is a bit pricey here, but you get what you pay for! I definitely recommend this salon to all my friends!

Haircut time! Ksenia is the best. Friendly staff. There is no issue with the parking. Affordable price for any haircut.

I went to see Nika for facial and she promised me my skin will be clear after two sessions with her. However, first appointment was so rushed because her boss booked her all day without any break at all. After first visit I started to break out more and I called them. Her boss told me come over any time, but they asked me to pay for full service whattttt!!! After second time of facial my face break out more, yet my current esthetician told me that my face didn’t seem like I had a facial two weeks ago. So please don’t go there waste your time and money!!!

Waste of money! I bought the Brazilian blowout deal on Groupon for about 110. Soon as I get there he charges me an extra $ 45 for my «long hair», mind you my hair was up when he charged me, and I don’t even think it was that long. Anyway, I’ve gotten a brazilian blowout before so I know how it’s supposed to leave my hair. She clarified that it wasn’t gonna be completely straight, which I already knew, but she did not tell me it that I was gonna be about $ 200 to have my hair look EXACTLY the same. It did absolutely nothing to my hair. My hair was nice and silky the first few days and thats about it. Complete waste of money

I just had another appointment at Etual this last weekend. I would love to reiterate how fabulous it is. I feel like this salon is the hidden secret of the valley. I spent 4 hours at this place, and didn’t want to leave!!!
I got my eyebrows and upper lip waxed, as well as my hair cut, and layered. All of the employees are so sweet and professional! I booked my next appointment for two weeks from now! CANT WAIT!

Very friendly staff and most important a clean salon, Highly recommended. Thank you for the beautiful haircut and the excellent service. I am definitely coming back again. =)

This is the first review I have ever written and I’m doing so because I was so disappointed in my groupon experience at etual and just noticed that they now listed the same offer on living social and I’m hoping people will read this first before buying that new deal.
So I bought the haircut and Brazilian blowout for ~135. When I got there they charged me an extra $ 70 for my thick hair. They did the treatment and then started cutting my hair without even asking what I’d like. Basically they just gave me a ½ inch trim. I asked for them to take off about 6 more inches, but my Hairdressor didn’t speak English (although she was very sweet) and noone else was around to translate. So she trimmed another ½ inch off. At this point I gave up and left and when I got home, my sister took out scissors and cut off the remaining 5 inches.
And then I made the mistake of washing my hair, with the special nitrate free shampoo. When wet, it became curly. When dry, it turned into a frizzly fro. I cried. After a week of my friends who had gotten Brazilian blow outs from other places telling me that this was not even remotely how it was supposed to turn out, I gathered up my courage and went back to ask them to fix it. I walked in the door, the manager took one look at me and without my even having to say anything, he said, «we’ll fix it, schedule an appointment» so I did.
When I came back a week later for the appointment he told me that he’d decided that actually my hair looked fine, a Brazilian blowout wasn’t supposed to straighten it, it was just supposed to take out some of the frizz (although it didn’t even do that for me) and so they weren’t willing to fix it. They’d put on a conditioner for me, and trim my hair to fix my sister’s cut, but that was all.
I felt bad for having the hair dresser recut my hair so I still tipped her.
So over all I paid 135 groupon + 70 extra charge + 35 original tip + 35 second time tip for a total of $ 275 for basically nothing, not to mention the several hours of lost time.
Again, i’ve never written a review before but I felt taken advantage of so I felt I should try and prevent other people from having the same experience. If I had read a review like this before I bought the groupon deal, I never would have bought it in the first place so I hope some of you won’t buy the living social deal.

Very pricey, but my stylist Janna was amazing and worth the money. Also, they will serve you an amazing cappuccino if you ask!
