What our guests are saying...

October 23... the day my life forever changed! And the day Ron (aka: Dr. D) suggested I have the Keratin Complex Treatment. All my life I've struggled with my hair. Being from the South - with a naturally-curly, frizzy, broken, thin, fine "nest" atop of my head, I took his advice and gave it a try. In short... a miracle! While I can absolutely rave about the atmosphere and the royal treatment I get with every visit to Epic - in short, my concern is my hair! Being hair-challenged, I needed that miracle. IT WORKED! I've been Ron's client for 20 years... he's stuck with me!

Very sincerely,
Marsha Rickett, NBC Universal

"Gretchen is amazing! She is such a perfectionist and is always so thorough with my hair color and cut! She really knows style and "what's in" for hair. She takes her time and always puts her clients first. She knows I am a busy mom, so she always makes sure I can come in when it is convenient for me. That has helped me tremendously. I highly recommend her for her talent, her professionalism, and her positive and warm personality. She's fantastic!"

"I'm a male who isn't all that clued in on the latest styles ansd who isn't always sure what looks good and what doesn't. If left to my own devices, I'd probably look like something out of the disco era. Fortunately, I have Gretchen. She knows exactly what hairstyle looks good on me and shows me how to style it in a way that is easy for the average guy to understand and put into practice on a daily basis."

"If your a guy who wants to look his best, but isn't quite sure how, visiting Gretchen will go a long way in solving your most perplexing style dilemmas."

My name is Dylan Gutierrez and I'm a professional Dancer with The Joffrey Ballet Company in Chicago.

In the world of entertainment, you have to look professional and present yourself appropriately for the roles or jobs that you want. At Epic Salon, Ron has helped me achieve my look for years. Before every ballet competition, before every performance, I go to Ron to get that princely effortless look that I love.

Right before my show at The Royal Ballet School in London, I made sure that I had my hair colored and cut by Ron to look and feel as contemporary as my dance routine. As a professional dancer, now more than ever, it's so important to me and my career, that I look as cutting edge as I can. Ron never fails to give me the look I want that make's me feel confident. My hair style can make the difference of getting the job or not. I've recently been chosen by the Joffrey Ballet Company to model for their advertisement campaign for the 2010 season. Ron and I are great friends and every time I'm at Epic Salon, I feel like I'm at home with friends. I have never, ever been disappointed at Epic Salon. It just gets better and better!!!

Jeff,

Truly the most ignored thing in our society is to take the time to say “Thank you”. For so many years, your skill and talent was easy to see. There should be more thank yous to show our gratitude for a job well done. It’s so easy to take things for granted. Keep up the great work.

Best regards,
Sherwin Davidson

"I would like to take a moment to tell you why I go to Epic The Salon in Encino. It is like one stop shopping for the spirit. From the moment I walk, in I feel special and welcomed and greeted with a smile, how are you today?" I can get my hair, makeup, massage, manicure, pedicure, waxing, facials, you name it they can do it.

This is a wonderful salon with a great "personality" so to speak. I love everyone here from my stylist Maxine to the girls who keep everything tidy. Epic the Salon is an AMAZING place with wonderfully talented employees. The owners Jeff and Jamie are incredibly beautiful people whom I adore. You cannot go wrong with Epic--it is an "EPIC" experience."

I love you all

"Epic Salon uniquely delivers the ultimate spa and professional experience in beauty and well-being. I would never consider going to another salon in the Los Angeles area. Having been a customer of owner, Jeff Swaner, for more than five years for haircut, color processes and styling, my hair has never been so healthy or looked more beautiful.

Besides demonstrating an exemplary and unique mastery of cosmetology techniques, Jeff and the Epic staff deliver on all of what's important: In addition to the warm, genuinely welcoming environment they have created, the entire team is obviously committed to delivering the highest levels of excellence and personal service, investing in the health and well-being of clientele.

Epic is truly a unique leader that sets the highest possible standard of professionalism and business ethics in beauty, health and wellness today."

I have been going to Epic Salon for as long as it has been open. It has a warm laid back atmosphere. A very cutting edge decor. All the receptionists are friendly and know you by name. When you look around you can see how highly skilled all the hairdressers are. I am always admiring how fabulous everyone looks when they walk out the door.

I like that I can have a full day of beauty from my hair, to my manicure and pedicure. You can also have your waxing, makeup, eyebrows and facials done. They carry the best products to keep your hair healthy. Jeff and Jamie and Max put a lot of philanthropic efforts into raising money to support rescue dogs and cats. They have such heart and soul. This is an amazing Salon.

- Thank you so Much. Lots of Love Cheri F.

Epic Salon is a wonderful full service salon, where you always feel comfortable and as if you are among friends. I have been a client since 1994 and utilize many professional services including hair, massage, makeup and waxing . Jeff is my hairdresser and does a magnificent job on my color and weave. He is a remarkable person and has the true entrepreneurial spirit. I have utilized other hairdressers within the salon for quick visits and never feel self-conscious about these appointments since it is such a feeling of family and warmth in the shop.

Jeff and his wife Jaime do an excellent job of running the Salon. When they remodeled the Salon, Jeff made dramatic design improvements utilizing the latest technology and interior décor, enabling hairdressers and staff to efficiently manage the busy clientele. Jeff and Jaime continue to work hard at expanding and marketing the business and strive to make each client happy. I truly enjoy going to "one special place" to take care of all my personal services.

As a customer for more than 12 years at Epic Salon I can only say that Jeff and his staff are a cut above. (No pun intended) Unlike most hairdressers, Jeff really cares about his clients and listens to what you want. I have referred many customers to him and like me they are thrilled with the salon and all of the amazing services such as massage, facials, makeup specialists and manicurists. It is unusual to find all these fine services in one convenient place. The staff are professional, yet fun to work with.

The best thing about EPIC is that they always run on time. There is no wait when you have an appointment. Not only are your own stylists and manicurists friendly and ultra attentive to you, the rest of the staff knows your name as well and greets you with smiles. This is an extraordinary shop - catering to your well being as well as your needs.

Whenever I step into EPIC SALON, I feel like I am among friends... The atmosphere is just filled with a sense of creative, cheerful, energetic people, either cutting hair, doing manicures, pedicures or reshaping eyebrows...

While Jamie at the front desk greets the clients in her charming manner, she ALWAYS takes the time to listen to my latest life's story... And I love my hairdresser Vanessa, she's always so attentive to my needs....

I have also made incredible connections with so many of the employees... All I can say is that I absolutely LOVE going to EPIC SALON!!!
