EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE.
I had a last sec “work emergency” (important meeting on zoom, “on camera”)-
And even tho the salon was technically closed, the owner Mike graciously offered to come in before a celebrity photo shoot they had later in the day!
The salon itself is breathtaking – gold and emerald greens, clearly brand new, and well-kept…
immaculately clean, and just… GORGEOUS.
They use only the most high-end products (Oribe, Kerastase), and Mike clearly is a master –
Once we got settled into the blowout, he shared that he’d been actually doing hair since he was 17, first in his native country, and then for about 20 years here in the US.
He specializes in all kinds of styles and up-dos for weddings and photo shoots… (check out his IG!)
So it was a bit of “overkill“ to have a gifted stylist like this just doing a straight blowout -
but of course it was exceptional.
The pricing is incredibly reasonable, considering what you’re getting,
and the “gimmick” of the salon is freshly roasted, high-quality espresso…!!! (the “roast” in the salon’s name!)
Coloring, Styling, Barbering, Extensions, Nail Technician… this salon has it all-
which is incredibly welcome in this particular day and age!
One small thing to be aware of: it’s on a very popular part of Ventura Boulevard, in Studio City,
so you’ll want to leave at least 10 to 15 minutes extra to find a good parking spot on most days.
They do have some parking spots in the back, a one-way alley that you enter off vantage, but I would guess on a weekend those fill up pretty quickly.
I cannot recommend highly enough!
MUST CALL.
If you need a self-care day, or a quick glow, this place is for you. From a welcoming & professional service, to dedicated and creative details, and a beautiful space itself. As someone who’s been there a few times, I’m confident to say each time I left elevated and happy weather it was a pedi service, hair transformation, or a glam makeup done by Ani. Thanks Razor Roast for taking care of your clients on the top notch level!

I had my makeup done here for my daughter’s gender reveal, and it was amazing! As a woman in my early 50s, I was blown away by how fresh, natural, and radiant my makeup looked flawless in person and in photos, and it lasted through tears, laughter, and celebrating.
The salon itself is very elegant, high quality, and spotless. The team was so kind and professional, and as a coffee lover, I loved being served a delicious espresso while getting pampered. A beautiful, luxurious experience from start to finish. I’ve attached a picture so you can see the results. Highly recommend!
