Extensions By Alicia

I can’t say enough great things about Alicia! She is such a sweetheart and will always do her best to accommodate her clients. I had extensions put in for the first time a few weeks before my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier. She did such an amazing job and I got so many compliments from friends about how natural and great my hair looked. My hair stylist at Ken Paves Salon in Beverly Hills was so impressed with how well she did that she even asked to meet her! I’ll definitely be referring all of my girlfriends. :) Thanks Alicia!

I am so lucky I found Alicia! My hair is stunning! And it looks like my real hair did. I had a very bad hair cut a year ago and I happened to be referred to Alicia last July 2011. My confidence went up 100% the day Alicia did my hair. When you have had long healthy beautiful hair and it is butchered well to say the least I was devastated. People would say, «It will grow.» Thankfully my hair looks so good everyone thinks it is my real hair! The colors of brown and reds that alicia mixed together is seriously genius!
The salon is modern, high ceilings, completely a place for special, cool people who like to have a great time while having your hair done perfectly. If people can tell you have extensions go to Alicia. If you are suffering from a bad haircut go to Alicia. I sincerely enjoy getting my hair done as well as getting to know someone like Alicia. She is as pretty and nice on the inside as she is on the outside. She is really popular so it schedule in advance and keep your appointment. Believe me you will be glad you did. Ciao!

I have gotten my hair done by Alicia for over a year now (4 different installs) and I highly recommend her. I have had extensions for 6 years on and off, and have been to many different stylists, in many different states and Alicia is by far the most talented. Her price is much cheaper than most places (especially in the Los Angeles area) and her hair is of great quality. I promise you will be happy with the end product, and if for some reason you are not, Alicia gladly and professionally fixes anything you do not like.
Not only is she talented, but she makes the 3 hour session very entertaining and fun! The negative reviews listed below do not sound honest, as I have been to her 4 times and NEVER been disappointed or felt that I did not get my moneys worth.

I love Alicia! She has been doing my extensions for over 3 years and I drive all the way from Irvine to ensure she does my hair. Yes Alicia does hair from a studio in her house, but that just adds to the comfortable environment that Alicia creates for her clients. Coffee, TV, wi-​fi and a good conversation are always readily available.
Alicia was able to match of my highlights to a T and used three shades of color to ensure my colors match 100%. Now I am a dark brunette and still Alicia manages to match my hair color perfectly.
I’ve considered going to a salon closer to home but the quality of Alicia’s work and her prices cannot be beat.
For those naysayers, yes Alicia may take 24 hours to respond to emails or make at times run late — but get real people. She is a one woman shop! Just like any business there are the occasional hiccup.
I highly recommend Alicia to anyone that wants high quality extensions at a reasonable price.

I just noticed Unilocal deleted my review and considering there are so many negative reviews on here (which left me appalled) I am re-​writing mine.
Also, check the bottom where it says «filtered» and you will find that there are over 39 reviews that are positive 5 star reviews, which Unilocal filters for some reason.
I’ve gotten my extensions done by Alicia many times. I had extensions in for over a year in which she would maintain. I NEVER experienced any negative experience with Alicia. If anything she would always go above and beyond for all her clients even doing house calls if they couldn’t come to her salon.
I haven’t seen her new salon, but I am sure it’s fantastic. I have recommended her to a lot of my friends and they were all thrilled with her services. Her business has flourished from a start up to a wonderful salon that offers many services, I am not sure how that would’ve been possible if she provides this so called «poor service.»
The sad part about the Internet is that it allows anyone to write a poor review without expressing their concerns to the business owner. I am sure that if they would’ve talked to Alicia she would’ve tried to accommodate them any way she can.
I can’t recommend her enough and please go in for a consult. Disregard Jen’s and the other negative comments.

I have worked in the salon business for over six years and as a salon owner for three years (on the east coast), and I know a professional when I see one. I found an ad for Extensions by Alicia online and could not believe how reasonable the prices were. I had to check it out. I had been looking into going to a mega salon in LA, but talent is talent, no matter where you find it. Alicia is not only an absolute pleasure in person, her extension skills are out of this world! I am super picky, and I am happy to say, I am in love with my hair again, thank you Alicia!!! The entire process was very simple and I had a lot of questions, Alicia was patient and answered them all. The location was super cute, very clean and very comfortable. I am recommending Alicia to everyone I know, and will be a client for a long time!
Please disregard any negative comments on here. Being a salon owner myself, I have had a few client complaints and it is never easy. As a client you always need to communicate with your stylist, speak up, don’t wait a month before you say something’s wrong, go somewhere else and pay them to fix it, then then blame the original stylist for trying to help you out? Not cool. Also if you cannot afford a service or if you are unsure of the jargon, the stylist cannot read your mind.
I love this industry saying, «Its a comb not a wand, speak up I’m not a mind reader!»

To the girl that wrote the review about Alicia, I would assume you have better things to do with your time then write nasty comments about people. I have worn many types of extensions, from clip in, to sew in, to glue in. When I moved out to California, I finally decided to get individuals because it saves a lot of time and money in the long run. Plus, your hair is far less damaged when using this technique. There will be times when you get better hair quality then others. That depends partly on your budget & also on the manufacturer itself. I have had extensions by Alicia for about 10 months now & I love it. I purchased brown hair in October 2010 and wore that until April. Then I decided to go back to blonde and she has helped me through that process. She has been great and if you have any concerns or you don’t think something is quite right with the extensions, she will fix it!!! All you have to do is communicate with her about your concerns. So I think that review from Jen L. is crazy. Alicia has hired a secretary to help now so they respond very quickly. Alicia was a one women show before she hired her secretary and brought Miranda on board for color. I think you must realize that you are getting an excellent price for extensions and one person who has tons of clients can only handle so much as one individual. As her salon grows, it will only get even better. I love extensions by Alicia and Alicia & Miranda. I would recommend them to anyone & you will love the look! I can’t wait to come in next Wednesday and get my new hair put in :)

What a nightmare this girl was! Soo unprofessional, major attitude, and completely clueless on how to maintain good client relations, doesn’t return messages, and is both uninterested and non-​responsive with any issues you may be having with the extensions and her work. She’s about making the sale, throwing in crappy hair, taking ur $$ and pushing you out the door. Who runs a business that way?!
I was so nervous to get extensions, after experiencing health issues that caused me to lose 50% of my hair, I didn’t want to do any more damage! I researched for sometime, and decided to put my trust in Alicia, after reading what I thought were legit reviews.
I had some reservations from the start, as it took 2 & 3 msgs to get a response. I arrived for my consult, buzzed to get in, no answer, tried again, no answer, called her on her cell, and this girl had the nerve to ask me to wait OUTSIDE the building & «buzz her in 15 min because she wasn’t ready! I was not impressed, get ur act together!
I was finally buzzed in for my consult, which took place amidst banging, dust, and renovations and her half paying attention. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, maybe it’s an off day for her.
We discussed my hair goals, pricing, care etc. She said she gives all clients the «at cost» price on hair. (later found out she doubled the cost) We agreed on a plan, she assured me the hair she uses is quality and would last a year. I said I’d get in touch to set up the appointment. I had to email 2 – 3 times again just to get a reply. I had a few follow up questions that never did get answered. Finally set up the appointment for color & install.
I arrive for my appointment, excited to finally get extensions, to find Alicia in the middle of doing a friends hair & complaining she’s soo exhausted & starving that she might pass out if she doesn’t eat. She’s practically lying on her desk telling me she did 3 installs that day & is drained. I ask if she wants to reschedule, feeling nervous & annoyed that my experience is being diminished by her issues. She says, no I’m fine, so we begin. She starts playing guessing games with her friend & arguing over what color to put on my hair before the install, how color should be mixed, applied & processed etc. & apparently has NEVER done it before, grreat! All the while still complaining about being exhausted and starving. I’m getting more nervous and annoyed, but AGAIN give her the benefit of the doubt. Color gets done, & is passable, I guess.
I suggest she better eat something, so the other girl goes to get food. Alicia starts doing my hair, but is more concerned with how she can get Coachella tix, & is texting, emailing, and calling ppl in the middle of my appoint. The girl returns with food & now I’m waiting on them to eat, she’s eating a burrito with her hands & trying to do my hair at the same time. The other girl comes over, without asking if I’m ok with it, starts doing my hair, also without washing her hands after eating a greasy burrito.Classy.
It literally felt like she thought she was doing me a favor as opposed to me paying for a $ 3000 a year service. The other girl is complaining during my ENTIRE appointment about how Alicia needs to finish her hair, before she has to leave in an hour. As a result, the service was completely rushed, & she did not install the amount of hair agreed upon or paid for. It was supposed to be 200 strands, but I had it counted, it was actually 98. Nice. She finishes & starts cutting my hair (Later found out she hacked off a ton of my natural hair, not just extension hair as promised). I was trying to be cordial & AGAIN give her a break, so I leave things as is, thinking I’ll come back to add more hair later.
By the third week the hair became very dry and started to shed, by the time maintenance was due, I’d lost half the thickness, it just kept getting thinner & drier & more tangled & knotted. It basically looked ok for 3 weeks & it was down hill from there. Considering when I consulted with her she said the hair would last a year, & it was already dried out & half gone by 2mos, it worked out to be a $ 400/​month price tag! Uhh no thanks! I don’t know about u, but if I’m paying $ 3000/​yr for a service, I expect quality, professionalism & courtesy. I DO NOT expect to have to practically beg to get an appoint or present a case for why she should address her work falling apart, and have my emails asking why the hair is so dry, tangled, knotted and shedding go unanswered. The biggest insult is in the end having HER cancel my appointment and tell me to go elsewhere so can avoid having to deal with her subpar work falling apart & me calling her on it. Wow.
It was the MOST unprofessional experience I have EVER had!
This experience was a nightmare. Most of the positive reviews oddly come from people with no photo and NO other reviews, suspect?! Umm I think so. Learn some courtesy, & business etiquette, word of mouth goes a looong way, and BAD word of mouth even further!

I love love love Alicia. I have now been going to her for almost a year and love my hiar more and more each time i go. She is so easy to work with and the salon looks so good now that she redid it. It is super comfortable and she always takes great care of me when i come in. I can not imagine seeing any one else do my hair and love the suggestions she has. Anytime i am confused about what i want to do to my hair, color, cut etc Alicia is there to help me and give me the direction i need. I love going to her and wont let anyone else touch my hair no matter what.
I started going to Alicia when I got some bad hair from my guy that used to do my hair. After going to him for 5 years and reffering over 10 people to use him he told me that I was just going to need to buy more hair and pay him to do it again. I met Alicia at my work and happened to start talking hair (at which time my extensions were a mess and i was so embarrased by them especially because i was getting ready to go on vacation and couldnt take my hair out of a pony tail because it was such a wreck) Alicia not only offered to do my hair for me the next day she offered me a great discount and took great care of me. She made sure i looked great before my vacation. She also color matched my hair via photo (shes that good) and she gave me a great price because i had just gotten my hair done. Needless to say she has a customer for life! Try her out atlease give her a call you wont be dissapointed!

Alicia is THE BEST! I never considered getting extensions until my hairdresser suggested that it might be a way to add volume to my hair. My hair is fine and somewhat fragile so I was reluctant. I went for a consultation with Alicia and she put all my fears to rest. Not only does my hair look fabulous, it has cut the time I spend on my hair in half, at least. My extensions are so well integrated with my real hair that I can let it air dry, if necessary and it looks great. I would never have left the house before without a full round brush/​blow dry routine.
Alicia is so sweet and fun to be around. I am pretty high maintenance and and will frequently ask to pop in for a few more strands to be added here and there between tightening appointments. Alicia never seems to mind and is very accomodating. I seriously don’t ever plan to be without my Extensions by Alicia!

I had a really great experience here and I wanted to touch a little on the previous review by Missy D. …A lot of salons have small animals and actually more common than not lately. It’s a beautiful, taseful salon and it is not out of a house. It’s a really cool and unique space that I would recommend to anyone. Alicia is who did my hair and she is very knowledgeable and could not be sweeter. I have already referred my co-​worker to her and she also had an amazing experience… Just think I will go longer next time! I absolutely Love, Love, Love my hair. I get compliments all the time and Alicia gets 5 stars from me!

Before I decided to get extensions I swear I searched the web for 2 hours. I knew I didn’t want to go to a salon because they overcharge like crazy. I finally came across Alicia’s page. Her web page was so helpful and I really felt like I could trust her just by reading what she wrote. So I called and she saw me the next day!
Her place is super cute and since it’s an apartment you feel more at home. Alicia is super nice and really easy to talk to. I’m mixed so my hair has about 3 different shades. She was really excited because I’ve never dyed my hair. She went through everything with me! Different techniques, different hairs. We spent a good half hour together for the consultation. I knew she would be the one to put in my first extensions.
Today was my appointment and I came out of there with EXACTLY what I wanted. My hair looks great! You cannot tell I have extensions at all! It was so nice comfy getting it done. She flew putting them in and we talked and watched tv. And when she was done I swear she was as excited as I was with the end result!
Don’t listen to that bad review! I had a blast getting my hair done and I feel like I walked out not only looking beautiful, but like I can really take care of these extensions. (Again it’s my first time getting them).
She is the best and that bad review is crap! I will only go to her from now on!

I’ve had extensions for 6 years and have had all kinds, great lengths included. I relocated to LA last year and was lucky enough to find Alicia. She is a sweetheart and completely professional. Her knowledge of all different types of extensions is huge! And she has always given me gorgeous hair that is expertly applied and lasts for at leat 4 months. I will never go elsewhere!

I am really confused because of all these great reviews about this business. I really didn’t think they conducted themselves professionally.
I went for a consultation and to order my hair. I only asked for 3 or 4 hot pink extensions — just as accents in my hair. The consultation was fine. I was a little surprised that they had a dog running around the salon — but hey, it’s out of someone’s house and I like dogs so it wasn’t a big deal.
When they called me back to make my appointment after the hair came in, I couldn’t hear anything on the phone because the dog was barking like mad in the background. I asked them to call me back when it was quieter because I couldn’t hear anything, and I was at work myself so I couldn’t really be yelling into the phone to have them hear me. I never heard back from them and they never responded to my emails after that.
You’d think people would be trying to get as much business as they can since there is a recession going on — especially for a service like extensions which is really just something people want, not something they need. Who knows?

With getting hair extensions for over 6 years now… I moved to the LA area about a year ago and was in desperate need of a new «hair extension lady» :)
My girlfriend immediately recommended Alicia and I went to her with confidence. From the get go she was personable… accommodating and an expert in her craft… hair!
After our first appointment I knew I had found my new «hair extension lady» And what’s even better is that I was happier with my hair than ever before.
If you are thinking about getting hair extensions. Alicia is your gal!

If you have struggled with extensions in the past or fell victim to a bad hair cut, this girl is your answer! I should have posted a review for Alicia after the first installation, but I am raving about her now even more! Her studio is what I love the best over all!

Had my extensions done by Alicia last year. Funny enough that I had the same bad experiences as other clients.
For my first appointment was running an hour late and ask me to reschedule. Then for my next appointment she flat out forgot about the appointment. She was a no show and called me to come back another time and she will give me a discount on my extensions. She did nit give me a discount.
This girl is unprofessional. Save your money and go elsewhere.

After shooting a hair campaign for Vidal Sassoon, I came to Alicia with a super edgy, short, colored, asymmetrical haircut. I appreciated her honesty when she said it would be best to grow it out a little first. I came back a few weeks later and left with gorgeous long hair that looked completely natural. Her rates are super competitive and her work is top notch!

Alicia is the best! I am in the spa/​beauty bussiness and the service and quality of hair that you get from Alicia is excellent. You will not get better service or prices anywhere else. Her studio is cute and comfortable. My hair looks great and I love my extensions! Thanks Alicia
