Greater Los Angeles guide

Best Beauty Salons in Los Angeles: Top 10

By LDM Hair, West Hollywood · Reviewed

Many salons in Greater Los Angeles call themselves beauty salons, but most are hair-first. This guide lists ten hair-led salons and tags exactly which ones publish services beyond hair, such as makeup, brows, lashes, skin or nails, and which are hair-focused.

We only tag a service when it appears on the salon's own menu. If a service is not tagged, that does not prove the salon never offers it; it means the salon does not list it, so ask before you book.

Combining appointments in one place

If you want hair plus another service on the same day, confirm three things before booking:

  • Who performs each service. In many salons, including ours, skin, nails, brows or makeup are done by separate specialists, not your hairdresser. Ask who you are booking with.
  • Order of appointments. Makeup usually goes after hair. Brow or lash tinting may need to be timed away from color or scalp treatments; ask the providers.
  • Separate bookings. Non-hair services often use a different booking link or calendar. Book each one and confirm the times line up.

Reading the tags

Hair-focused means the salon's published menu is hair services only. Hair + [service] means the salon lists that additional service on its own site. We never infer nails, facials or makeup that a salon does not list.
