Brighton Salon

Worst hair cut I’ve ever had! I’m so embarrassed by this cut and truly don’t know how to fix it. I have mixed hair which is a challenge I know– I’ve been patiently waiting for it to grow out– all over since I use keratin treatments on my hair to smooth it out (my hair is nappy curly naturally). This salon was recommended to me to and in Beverly Hills so I had an assumption for quality. Unfortunately my stylist does not understand textured hair. Pulled my hair back as if it were in ponytail at back of my neck and started cutting. So now it feels like I have a bald spot on the back of my head. The front top is 8 inches long and back is now half an inch and curly. It’s so short in just the middle
Back that I can’t even get a small flat iron on it to smooth it out to match the long hair on top and sides. Then the hair along the nape of neck is still long– it almost like a mullet in the back center of my head with long hair on the sides and top. It horrible and the only answer feels like cutting everything– it’s almost like a woman’s cut. Super short in back up to top of head then long front and side wings. The worst part is I could see other stylist looking very confused– but then of course every employee went out of there way to tell me how cool of a hair cut it was… They didn’t say that to anyone else. They knew it was good. Anyone that I have seen has asked me what happens and said I shouldn’t go to Super Cuts… Well I didn’t I went to an upscale salon in Beverly Hills. I did voice my concern once I got spun around. I was so in shock that I just put my hat on and left. I was later told I could come back– but of course I don’t want too. Then they can’t refund me unless I come back in — 45 min away from home. This whole thing was a disaster. I still have to pay someone else to try and fix my hair and then go out of my way to return and face the awkwardness of going back in. Just a nightmare. I know hair grows back but I’ve been growing it for a year and just wanted to clean it up and shape it– now I have to cut even more and properly relax it so the hair matches while it grows out. Gonna be awhile before I’m not embarrassed to take my hat off either way. ***I am adding a small portion to be fair– the salon manager and the stylist were both very professional as far as offering both a refund or an opportunity to return for a potential fix– as everyone who has had this happen at some point would agree I would rather have my hair back than a refund and I my case now facing potentially cutting more off the hair I was trying to grow. I did not leave this review because I was trying to get something from the salon as they had already made an attempt to remedy the situation I left it because people read these and should be aware– perhaps if you have more complicated treated hair like I do you need to find a place that specializes

I did my makeup and hair for an evening event. I absolutely love what they did ! They are very professional!
My only complaint is that I was ready about 1 hour after I should be!
Well if you want to have an amazing look you definitely should be in this salon! Just pay attention at the clock if you have time to be in somewhere else:)

This update is long overdue (my apologies.) After our misunderstanding on pricing Eddie reached out to me to clarify the miscommunication which I really appreciated. He offered a great deal on my next haircut, which I got two weeks ago. And like I said before, I love Ray! Before we began Ray asked me how I liked my first cut with him and I told him I loved it but I felt it was a bit too long in the front and that I wasn’t used to styling it the comb/​blowdrying method. He took that into consideration and gave me something I loved AND that I could replicate on my own natural way. I could NOT stop checking myself out in the mirror afterwards :)
Brighton Salon really cares about its clients, and went out of its way to make sure I left a happy customer. Thank you Eddie, Ray, and Brighton Salon. See you next time!

I honestly just wish I would have found this place earlier before I went and got my hair ruined at another Beverly Hills salon. Dani (The owner) and Kaz are absolutely AMAZING !!! I literally came in here with tears in my eyes with a hair disaster :(They knew and understood exactly what I went through and they are already helping me get my hair back to being healthy and strong again, using the best hair products/​treatments before I can get a color correction which just shows me how professional they are not trying to rush anything and getting me into coloring it today which would cause more damage. They really care about you and your hair which sadly not many places do. I feel so loved and pampered and cared for :) If you have ever had a hair disaster before I’m sure you can relate !! I can’t wait to let Kaz do some color magic on me. I will be posting pictures soon of my before and after as I’m already confident it is going to look amazing. Thank you Dani and Kaz for giving me hope again :)

I love Brighton salon. I get my haircut here from Dani and he is by far the best! He always gets me in and out. His staff is always very professional and they are hot!

I give it 10 stars if I could!!!
I have been coming here for years and always treated like a vip client!!! I recently did the micro art for my eyebrows with NICOLETA (she is amazing) and wow if your hesitant about it, don’t be! Just do it! I was hesitant for almost a year and I wish I did it sooner! Nicoleta is so talented with doing eyebrows there’s no doubt about she was born to do what she does!
Dani for hair cut now where to begin but simply he is the best hair dresser I have ever encountered! It is evident he is knowledgable about various types of hair types, color, and is up to date with hair trends etc… I will go to no one but Dani and that is a fact!
Dustin ~ He has been the only one doing my highlights/​color over the past few years and let me tell you he knows his shit!!! Go Dustin! I never fear when he’s workin his magic with the color process. Your personality and energy is so attractive I enjoy coming to see everyone in the salon!
Ziggy ~ he washed prep my hair for dani and hot damn wow. Today I have experienced THEE best hair wash of my life! He used some muscle in massaging my scalp, was careful and professional not to get water in my eyes/​ears and even massaged my neck. It was amazing. ESP after holding your head over the bowl it was top notch!
Eddie ~ your role is most important first encountering customers coming in and you execute every time! Your smile, charm, and attitude you make everyone feel so welcome coming into the salon! What a great crew Brighton Salon has!!!
All staff is always so friendly even the people I haven’t had personal experience with!

It was my first time here, my boyfriend wanted me to come style my hair with his awesome hair stylist Dani. I am very pleased with my cut and blow out. Dani and the staff make you feel comfortable and welcome. I loved his work, his attitude, the jokes and the girl that wash and styled my hair was very nice and attentive as well, she was a sweetheart. The salon is nice and bright inside and clean, which is extremely important. Have not had my hair colored here yet! But after my first experience I’m sure I will be back soon. I highly encourage everyone to skip the others salons around the area and come here, you will not be disappointed.

KAZ is AMAZING. KAZINGA! I have dark stubborn Asian hair and I am so pleased with the result. The people are all so friendly and inviting. I love the staff, the ambiance, Kaz, and of course… My hair!

Ashley Wagner for the best color and cut of your LIFE!
First of all I’ve been going to another person for years
I’m very very picky!
Ashley NAILS blondes if your a blonde. Or want to go blonde there is NO OTHER!
My hair looks so natural I’m very very pleased

Having recently moved to LA, I was looking for a salon with a great stylist. I have long hair with layers and super picky about who cuts my hair. I’ve had many different experiences with different stylists and I have to say that I definitely found my new stylist at Brighton Salon. Ashley listened to EXACTLY what I wanted with my hair. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and that she’s highly experienced. I’m also super picky about blowouts and she did such a good job! If you’re looking for a stylist that actually listens and follows through, book an appointment with Ashley!

About 6 years ago I went on a mission to find a great mens hair stylist and after trying numerous people throughout LA and being somewhat happy I thought that was as good as it got… until I had Dustin Goodsell cut my hair. Let’s just say that my mission is over and I have found him. I have gone to Dustin numerous times since my first cut with him and I have never left without being more than happy. He cuts hair with an exceptional quality to detail, and he is just about the nicest guy I’ve met. I’ll be definitely coming back to him for years to come.
Oh and if you get a cut, make sure you get the mens facial with it, it’s the cherry on top of the whole experience!

I began getting my haircut by Ray at Brighton Salon a couple of months ago. He is very attentive, professional and obviously knows his craft. After frequenting a barber for many years, I’m extremely happy with my hair cuts. The salon is clean, and the staff is courteous and friendly. The cappuccinos and cookies are a great bonus as well. Highly recommend!

I followed my stylist Josh Lopez to Brighton Salon. I loved the service, attentiveness and the ambiance is fun and happy! A really cool group of stylist, and you immediately feel welcomed.
Definitely worth trying it out if you’re looking for a new place. I highly recommend Josh; he is absolutely masterful and is a committed artist. He really cares about you and what you’re looking for in a style.

I’ve been going into this cool salon in Beverly Hills many times now and no matter which stylist cuts my hair it always came out awesome. (dani & tal) greeted by warm front desk (eddie and lori) assistant coffee is fresh haircuts clean edgy modern highly recommend What’s nice is, I can walk in anytime 7 days a week 9 – 9 or call to reserve a fav! 5-​star service without 5-​star price!
Thank you Brighton Salon!

You come to Brighton Salon for the experience, and you leave with quality.
I’ve been going to the same barber for at least 20 years. This is the first time I came to a hairstylist on the recommendation of a good friend. I was honestly nervous, because I’m not always comfortable with change. But they told me that Ray would make me look exactly like I wanted, and my friend guaranteed I would be satisfied. Bold statements from someone I trusted. My favorite part about Ray was he was great at understanding my personality, and making recommendations based on my lifestyle. In the end I was beyond happy with the way I looked. I’m a few steps closer to looking like Christian Bale.

It’s no surprise that hair salons and Dry Bars in LA are a dime a dozen, so after numerous trips to salons and lotsa money out the window, I have finally found my spot!!! Had the best blow out by Tal since moving here from Miami. Will be going to this salon from here on out and ecstatic to have found Brighton Salon right before the holidays!

I have nothing but great things to say about this salon. From the customer service, to the expertise, to the over-​all experience. I (used to) work and live in Beverly Hills and stumbled across this salon walking through the neighborhood. Luckily I found them, one year later and my hair has never been so healthy. And, I’m not just saying that. Everyone compliments how great my hair has looked lately. Dani Faraj is an absolute artist with his GOLD scissors. You can tell he loves what he does, and he makes you feel beautiful while doing it. Also, I am a HUGE fan of the Kerastase treatments. Great salon, reasonably priced, right in the middle of Beverly Hills.
*UPDATE* I just read the bad review from B L., written on 4÷28÷15, and I am very surprised. In my book, Dani is literally an expert. I would say, please do not let this review dissuade you. Dani is the Director of the salon. As the salon very clearly is named «Brighton Salons by Dani Faraj,» that might be B. L,‘s mix-​up. I have had my hair colored by Dustin and Dani. Lori is the receptionist and is incredibly friendly. I am a snob (see other reviews) and STILL give this salon 5 stars. Go see for yourself.

Amazing service and top notch staff. Daniel, the owner is a «Hair God».he did a completely new do and I trusted him every step of the way. I’m definitely very happy and pleased. Make your appointment now… this place is the best… you will love it!!!

I’m literally still in shock of my experience here…
(also don’t be fooled by all the high reviews on here, i heard the management has changed and as you can see most reviews are from 2014, different story)
Could you imagine going to a salon in beverly hills for color thinking everything is going to be great, only to have wasted over 4 hours of your day and literally being walked across the street to a brand new salon because the ‘director’ or whatever of this salon was so incapable of doing my hair.
… Well that is exactly what happened to me here.
So I book an appointment with Dani, who says he is the owner of this salon…
My experience started off from strange to beyond messed up.
First off, I get to the salon, ON time for my appointment. The blonde receptionist, Lauren i think? Was not friendly at all. She looked at me and just said «oh i don’t know where Dani is»… I’m thinking uhmm okay? I have an appointment booked with him for now. This whole salon is so unprofessional
So I proceed to wait for him. She does not offer me anything to drink and rudely continues messing on her phone and having a conversation with some guy at the desk, as If i didn’t exist. 45 minutes later he finally shows up. He pretended as if it was no big deal… Not even sure why I waited this long.
I had a modeling job where my hair was dyed a silver color and i needed to go back to blonde. He said no problem. Until he actually started doing my hair… You could tell there was one BIG problem… This guy had NO idea what he was doing! He was just throwing bleach on my head, and all over my forehead. I asked him to please avoid getting the color all over my forehead and he said ‘impossible” Uhhh what? Never have i had such a sloppy «colorist» in my life.
Most of the process was being done in the sink! Really. I spent almost 3 hours in a sink… why?
As he was washing out the bleach, he said i’m blonde again and he doesn’t want to do anything more… It looked absolutely horrendous! Yellow. bleached.
On top of me feeling so uncomfortable. he kept walking away from me during this process. There were 2 times where i had to get up from the sink and go look for Dani because he just kept disappearing from me.
He just kept having his assistant dustin work on my hair, who also didn’t know what he was doing… this guy couldn’t even blow dry my hair properly!
This here is what really set it off… Dani had the nerve to tell me I was causing a scene in his salon and saying his clients will think he made my hair look like shit (which he did)
Then he said «The world doesn’t revolve around brittany» I don’t know who he thinks he is, but i booked an appointment with him for his time. I was nothing but nice to this guy
After no joke. 4 hours of me sitting in his salon with absolutely nothing done but damage to my hair. At this point I was beyond terrified of what he had done and how he had disrespected me so hard. No professional person would ever talk to their clients the way this guy spoke to me.
Biggest joke of all… Dani has that same receptionist girl call a guy from another salon to come take over… LITERALLY! Behind my back, because of course he is too insecure about what he did to my hair, he couldn’t have the courage to say he messed up.
Mind blowing. I’m so thankful though for that Eric from Fringe of beverly hills across from the joke of a salon that brighton is.
You would think you should feel secure and that the top people are working on your hair if you are going to beverly hills. But don’t let someones over the top ego and appearance make you think you are getting a good haircut or color, because that will not happen at brighton salon.
But Dani is clearly NOT a colorist.
I am not the type to write reviews, but in this case its absolutely necessary. I don’t want any other person to get fooled into getting your hair colored by someone who pretends to know what they’re doing. Only to find out they can’t do their job proper 4 hours later. (thanks for wasting my whole day)
If he knew he wasn’t capable of taking on my hair, why did he start? Why didn’t he just tell me to go to a different salon to begin with?
on top of it all he knew i had an important meeting for work, which he made me miss out on a huge client for a job that day, because i ended up being stuck in bev hills all day. thanks
Worst part, this guy didn’t even say sorry!!! Are you joking? I’m STILL paying the price for my hair, Its so damaged and broken off from what he did to me, was never like that before. Which certainly effects my work as a model. He knows that is my job, and still he was inconsiderate.
don’t get fooled by this place. just go across the street to the other salon, seriously.

Brighton Salon is a «Hidden Gem» in the Heart of Beverly Hills. I love the ambiance and the atmosphere here. I love my hairstylist Shaya who’s the new addition to the Salon and who I followed as a loyal client! Shaya is Phenomenal coloring, cutting and styling. Its hard to find someone in this city that you can trust with your hair. He listens to your needs and adds his edgy-​classy touch! I went for my haircut yesterday and Shaya kept the length I so much desire but without the «split-​ends» that were damaging my hair so much. I left feeling like Penelope Cruz! Lots of volume, healthy and styled hair! Thank you Shaya! You made me feel like a million dollars again! You are amazing !!!

The worst experience i had was in this salon. Watch out those people dont care about you, they re non honnest i paid my haircut very expensive, the color was a disaster. I was so sad! A scam
