Irene has been cutting and styling my hair for the last 14 years, starting when I was 6 years old! I have grown up coming to her salon with my mother and sister, and we could not trust anyone else the way we trust Irene with our hair. She is so caring about her clients, and I of course have to mention that the studio is beautiful! Not only do I get my hair washed, cut, and styled... I get to purchase my favorite Paul Mitchell hair products to use at home!

Loyal Client

Irene was absolutely fantastic! Not only did my husband's and my hair come out looking amazing, Irene was incredibly nice, friendly, and patient. We had no idea what we wanted to get done and she really took the time to go over all the options that would look nice and helped us decide. She also demonstrated different ways to style the cuts depending on what we wanted them to look like.

Happy Couple

Irene did it again! Another excellent haircut. Looks good even after pulling off the sun hat I wore for my post appointment walk. This is my third session with her and I find Irene to be very patient and accommodating. Most importantly she asks plenty of questions to reveal a client's expectations and asks for confirmation as she goes along, leaving nothing to chance. So happy I was referred to Irene!

Returning Client

Of all the hair stylists I've gone to, Irene is the absolute best in everything she does ranging from children's to men's to women's haircut and color and perm and style, whatever you want, she can do it for you! My entire family goes to her and anytime we get our hair done elsewhere, we wish we came here instead. She really listens to what you want, takes all the time needed, and also gives her own input on what she thinks would better suit you as well. Highly recommend!

Family Client

I've never been someone to remain loyal to a salon, let alone a stylist. I found Irene after moving to Santa Monica about four years ago and have never gone to anyone else. Irene takes the time to really learn about your preferences and takes time to teach what she knows so that you make a careful and informed decision about your cut. Over the years I've experimented with lots of cuts, perms, and styles and have always been satisfied!

Santa Monica Local

Irene is the best for blonde highlights. She is so meticulous and talented. She was able to get my super damaged, over processed hair, healthy again. Since I'm seeing her my hair is finally growing and I love the perfect blonde tone she creates. Would give 10 stars if I could!

Color Client

I booked a blowout here on a fluke and I have to say, this was one of the best blowouts of my life. I've been to many drybars and blow out places and always leave underwhelmed. Not here. She used products that were perfect for my hair. She was very knowledgeable about all the Paul Mitchell products and made sure I left with a great style. They even retouched me later when I was leaving to head to the airport. I will absolutely return if I find myself back in Santa Monica.

Visiting Client

I've been going to Irene, the salon owner for decades now. She is so talented as a hairstylist, colorist, extensions, basically everything hair. I received so many compliments after an appointment with her. She works wonders and makes you feel like a whole new person when she's done. Irene is a gem, so accommodating, patient, skillful, friendly, and attentive to her clients. She is truly a master at her trade. You'll have to experience her magic touch for yourself!

Long-Time Client

I got a haircut at Jade Design Studio yesterday and she did an AMAZING job! My previous hairstylist gave me a not so great cut but Irene was able to fix it and make it look really good! What I also really liked about her is that she explains what she's doing and asks you questions about EXACTLY what you want! I wasn't sure what I wanted until she explained all my options. I also just love her! It was the first time I met her and she treated me with so much care and attention to detail. This is a very easy review to write because she left such a great impression! I'm definitely going to return soon!
