About

Brambila Salon has been serving Santa Monica for more than 20 years from its Ocean Avenue location, a short walk from the ocean. Mary Brambila founded the salon and works there as an owner and stylist, alongside a team of stylists who cover color, cuts, extensions, treatments and bridal work.

Cuts, blowouts and styling are offered for women and men. The color menu runs from brow tinting and gloss through base color, highlights and balayage, and includes creative and corrective color priced by consultation. Extensions come in tape-on, beaded weft and sewn-in weft, and each starts with a complimentary consultation.

Smoothing options include keratin, Brazilian Blowout and Pure Lux treatments, along with conditioning treatments customized to each hair type. For weddings, the salon offers 1½-hour bridal hair and makeup consultations, day-of styling and on-location services priced on inquiry. Weddings fill quickly, so early inquiries are recommended.

Bookings can be made online, by phone, or by text message. Changes and cancellations require 24 hours' notice. A cancellation made later costs half the service price, and a no-show without notice is billed the entire price of the appointment. Hotel guests and visitors can phone or text to schedule times that suit their stay. Prices with a plus sign vary with hair length, density and starting condition, and are finalized at the appointment or consultation.

According to the salon, it was voted Santa Monica's Best Hair Salon in 2023. Its Yelp listing shows a 4.9 rating from 287 reviews.

The salon describes its approach to beauty as simple.
