THE HIVE IN SILVERLAKE


Hip Girl Hair. That is all I have to say about The Hive. Its my new place in LA. Its one place that everyone that walks out, looks hipper, stylish, and cooler than they did when they walked in. Even if you think you don't like it your hair cut, you look better...believe me. You just need to let go of your 90's hair.

The owner, LISSA RENN, (pronounced LISS-A not lisa), is a mid-20's hip chick that used to work at Rudy's on Melrose. She had such a big following that she decided to open up shop for herself. I have gotten my haircut by so many big stylist over the years..Frederick Fekkai, Sally Hershberger, Oscar Blandi, Guido, and the list goes on over the years, but honestly, my hair has never looked better. I like the rock and roll haircut. For you gals like adventure, they have washable feather extensions that Lissa talked me into after she got a few a while back and its pretty cool. Cheap too...$15 per feather, and NO one does it. Its a nice touch to the boring hair.

Lissa takes regular mousey hair and does her magic to make you look like a Williamburg hipster, or can take a young mom and give her some style without making her look like she walked out of a boring Frederic Fekkai type of salon with that perfect boring hair.
Malina and Jeremy are the other stylists and they seem very talented and have gotten great reviews on yelp. Best of all, with the recession hitting all of us, haircuts are $38 for short hair and $48 for long.
I highly recommend Lissa and after your haircut, you can go to LOCAL, a restaurant nearby that serves fresh healthy food from local farmers and vendors or MEETING PLACE...which is a vegan restaurant that is pretty tasty. Tell her that Sharon Suh sent you!
