I originally found Fernando on Instagram. I searched high and low for the PERFECT colorist. I had not had my hair done in almost two years and when I saw Fernando's portfolio, I simply fell in love! He was VERY communicative with me from the very start and I know that what I was asking for was (at least with my limited knowledge) extremely difficult to pull off, let alone in one session. Fernando has the confidence of a true artist and he knew he could give me what I wanted WITHOUT damaging the crap out of my hair when it was all said and done. I'm the kind of person that does CRAZY amounts of research before I make a decision. So, I decided to check out Yelp and noticed a negative review that I brought to Fernando's attention before confirming my consultation. First of all, he is an absolute doll. In the sweetest and most genuine way, He assured me that I wouldn't regret choosing him. I'M SO GLAD I TRUSTED MY GUT AND NOT THAT OTHER REVIEW!!! Not to mention he didn't mind one bit when I sent him about a thousand reference photos, LOL! SUPER FAST response time! So at the consultation, we REALLY hit it off. I like artists who are SERIOUS about what they do. I will pay WHATEVER amount of money to get the EXACT what I want. Fernando is great because he will talk AND ACTIVELY LISTEN but he will also focus and let you relax in silence if you want. Essentially, he is amazing at feeling what a costumer needs without over asking or being annoyingly courteous, like some people can get in a costumer service setting. Fernando provides a TOP NOTCH service but makes you feel like a friend. So when the time came for my appointment, I was SO excited! I was going from brunette to blonde and when I say blonde, I really mean WHITE! FOR THE BLONDE GIRLIES READING THIS: I know you have had damage done to your hair by a colorist. This is my first time going blonde like this and I have THIN hair. This man is an absolute COLORING GOD!!! He processes the hair slowly and is SUPER attentive. Fernando did a technique of me called AIR TOUCH which I had never heard of. He has mastered this BALAYAGE ON STERIODS way of coloring hair! If you do not want damaged hair, be prepared to be there all day. I will say that if you are going to complain about how long PERFECTION takes then go to Super Cuts or something, LOL! He was very upfront about the TIME AND COST of my service. NOT ONE TIME did I feel like he was trying to upsell me or whatever. He even went the extra mile on my styling at the end because of my obsession with fine details. After this experience, I literally can NEVER go to another colorist! Fernando totally stole the show! I've had my hair for less than a week and SO MANY PEOPLE have come up to me about my hair! THANK YOU FERNANDO!!!!!

Michelle Johnson is a dream. Her studio is clean and professional, always plays amazing music and I come out feeling my very best every time. Their products are amazing there as well and I'll never go anywhere else to get my hair cut or colored. Each salon is independently owned and professional. I've never had a bad experience here. If you're looking to use my hair stylist, just search Michelle Johnson Beverly Hills Salon Republic and an email prompt will come up. Or find her on FB. I asked for a 70s inspired hair style that would still fit in with 2021 and that I can get bangs with... complicated task, but curtain bangs for the win. She does AMAZING WORK!!!
