oh!la-la salon.spa

I'm a long time customer, and I can't rate this place highly enough. Mounir has accommodated me by staying a bit late on more than one occasion. He manages to keep my short hair looking great, and I don't have to put a lot of time or effort into it. The staff is extremely professional, and I've always had a positive experience there. As a student, I'm on a tight budget, but the prices are fair for the quality of service. I'd rather pay a little extra and do my own color (although sometimes I splurge and get it done there, and I never regret it!) than get a lesser cut elsewhere.

Mounir saved my hair! he is not only an incredible color expert but also a true professional - passionate about his work and honest to his clients. Last fall, I came to him for a consultation after a hair salon completely ruined my hair. The color I came in with was black dyed over cherry red (both colors I NEVER intended on having). When I came in to oh la-la all I wanted was a quick fix. But instead of trying to fix my hair on the spot (like all the other salons would do), Mounir explained that an immediate fix would be very damaging to my hair and instead told me to wait a few months to come back. His theory is all about gradual change and one thing I can tell you is that IT WORKS! It took me about a 6 months or so to fix my hair and at this point I've been his client for a year now. However, even though it's been a year, I've only gone to him three times (twice in the beginning and once after a seven month period)! Since he used the balayage technique, the color grows out beautifully. During the seven months that I hadn't gone, it never looked like I had roots and the only reason I went again is because I wanted to go a bit lighter. My hair looks amazing and most of all it looks shiny and healthy. I highly recommend Mounir to anyone looking for a hair color expert, he's the best!

This past Saturday my neighbor recommended the owner Mounir and he did a fabulous job. I am absolutely going back, see you guys soon and thanks for a wonderful experience.

Mounir (the owner) cut my hair 5/5/2010 and didn't stick around to see what it looked like dry. It looked awful; there was a huge chunk missing from the right side. The stylist tried her best to fix it and ended up apologizing, saying that Mounir had left and that she wasn't licensed to cut hair or else she would try to fix it. I called and wrote Mounir to express my distress and seek a reimbursement for the cut, but he won't return my call (yes, I paid the poor stylist for the cut - it wasn't her fault). The worst part is that Mounir knew I was getting my hair cut to go to my grandfather's funeral the next day. It was a terrible experience: Most business owners would at least call/email/write back to an upset customer. It's taken three cuts (A Natural Buzz salon is GREAT!) to get my hair halfway decent again.
