Nelson J salon - AVEDA Color Salon

I went to Nelson J to get my hair straightend and it looks great! Sylvia did it, even though I have really curly think hair, she was able to do a fabulous job. I luv my straight hair!

I have been to so many hair salons since I moved to LA from NY and none have impressed me much. I had my hair done by Sylvia at Nelson J, and it looks great! By far the best my hair has looked since NYC.

I have never felt compelled to write a reivew but i just had to for Nelsons' salon. I called them on a wednesday night ready to shave my hair off after it had been burnt and fried from a bad japanese straightening at a beauty school (yes, that was a mistake!). My hair was literally one large ball of fluff from root to tip.

The receptionist was so compassionate and fit me in the next day for a consult.
When I got there the people were so friendly and normal - no silly Beverly Hills attitude at all.

Sandra, my hair dresser, really listened and gave me options and even tested out the options before I had to choose. I chose to have the Brazilian Chocolate hair treatment done and while it was pricey I have to say, IT SAVED MY HAIR.

I couldnt wash my hair for 3 days so I was worried that once I wash out the protein my hair would go back to fluff and fry, but today I washed it and with some tender loving care, hair drying and flat ironing it, I have semi-normal hair. Before the treatment, no amount of hairr drying or flat ironing helped.

Now while I am far from normal, I am so much closer than I was before and I am so very grateful for their help. Sandra even trimmed the ends for no extra charge.

I couldnt be more happy with my overall experience. They have a lifetime client in me.

I came in after searching the web for an expert colorist to darken my hair without it turning out black. Nelson took one look at me and knew exactly what shade to choose, and assured me it would stay that shade. He was right... I've been coming back for six months and still love the color and have received so many compliments. Sara is amazing and sweet and I'm so happy I found this gem of a place!

I have been to countless hair colorists over the years from the "valley" to the westside and nobody I went to could nail the blonde color I always dreamed of having. The color always ended up looking too brassy or cheap, and never classy or realistic. It was frustrating and very expensive and I started to give up hope until I came across the name Nelson Chan while searching the internet for an expert colorist. It was very impressive that a major magazine nominated him as a top colorist and after reading more about his skills and experience , I was so excited and booked an appointment immediately. Nelson ended up being the best hair colorist that I have ever had and gave me the EXACT color I wanted. He corrected past damage with some amazing treatments and my hair looks like the kind of hair that you see on models in magazines! For the first time in my life I have been stopped by strangers who want to know where I get my hair done and I feel so excited to refer them to Nelson because I know he will make them look gorgeous! I would also like to add that Nelson and EVERYONE of his staff members were so sweet and made sure that my experience was a comfortable and happy one. Nelson's salon is located in Beverly Hills so I was expecting some arrogance and attitude but there is absolutely none of that here! Please see Nelson if you are seeking the best in color and hair care. You will be so happy you did! Oh and by the way, his prices were extremely reasonable and lower than most of my previous stylists!
