Review from Crystal C.

Both Amy and Monica are fantastic and extremely talented. I have a really short, perhaps some would say trendy, female haircut and I was trolling for a good stylist after losing my go-to. With super short hair it only takes one careless snip to go from edgy feminine to horribly masculine. After many botched cuts I found Amorous. I've had both Monica and Amy cut my hair and they both are absolutely fantastic. Not only did they do a great job but they both listened to what I wanted and didn't want. I've found my new go-to. Not to mention they are an absolute joy to spend an hour in a chair with. Great women, great service, and both very talented!
I rarely yelp but since I found them here (so many great reviews I had to give it a shot!) I thought it only fair to contribute. Try Amorous, you won't regret it! -

I had my hair dyed and cut the other day and I'm impressed.
The owner, Amy, did the coloring and the styling and it was more than what I exoected. This salon isn't one of those cheap neighborhood salons. Although much more affordable than the others ($25 for haircut and $45 for hair coloring), theydo not take cleanliness and ambiance for granted. The chairs are great. I'm very comfortable sitting on them. The rinsing stations are very clean and nice to look at. They give you an impression that great service is really done in that salon/spa. :)
I'm gonna come back just before Christmas to get a Glaze treatment for $25! And probably eyebrow waxing/threading for $15. I'm in love with this salon. :)
Amy is the nicest and sweetest, too! -

Found this lovely place here on Yelp and decided to call and see if i could get an appointment for a cut and color, since my regular place wasn't available on such short notice.... and Amy was available! i was happy and somewhat scared all at the same time, since here i was again.... trying out yet another new salon.
when i got here i found the place to be quite nice ... clean.... and inviting. I met Amy who did my color and Monica who did my cut... i was absolutely happy with the end results and the service that I received from these beautiful ladies. Plenty of small talk and laughs and I am absolutely glad that I found them.
if you are in the area and looking for a great salon.... look no further. these ladies do a great job!
I can say that I hope to make them my go-to salon in the future. . . =) -

I had never had my eyebrows threaded, but after emerging with little bitty scabs from the last 2 times I got them waxed, I decided to check out some alternatives. Threading is neat. It hurts much less..kinda like a tiny electric shock, like when you put your tongue on a 9 volt....it doesn't feel wonderful, but it's strangely not horrible.
Anyway, Amy is funny, friendly, and really talented at threading. My eyebrows look better than they ever have before. Plus, I really dig the salon, it's low key and not so Hollywood hip (which I can't stand). I'll be back for the threading every few weeks and I'm definitely considering a hair appointment based on the great reviews and Amy's all-around brilliance!! -

Amy is a great stylist! I've been going to her since October 2009 and she did exactly what I hoped she would. I took a picture of the hairdo that I wanted and she cut it so nicely that it fit my face really beautifully. It grew out really nice and I was really happy with her. She even threaded my eyebrows and upper lip for free just to show me how it was like! Wow, so smooth!
I went back to her in January to get a shorter cut. I've never had it this short before, and I was super nervous, but she did a really good job! I also got highlights done, and I wish they would have turned out just a tad bit lighter because the highlights I had before are still showing, but overall I'm quite happy with it.
She charged me $140 for highlights, wash and a cut.
On top of that, you meet so many great people while you're in the salon because you're right by Disney/ABC Studios and Warner Bros. If you're in the industry, you'll be able to network with people around the area, if you're lucky!
I'll definitely be going back, thanks Amy!Listed in: Where you improve on your…

This is a cute little shop with reasonable rates. I came here for a haircut for myself and child and was disappointed. When I walked into the shop I was pleasantly met by Amy, I think. I explained what hair cut/style I wanted and she got started. As she was cutting my hair she talked to her friend about a lunch order which understandable. Then the friend left and she continued cutting my hair as we made small talk for about a minute until the phone rang and she cut while she talked. Finally she hung up the phone for maybe a minute until the phone rang again. She continued to talk and cut until my hair was soooo short. I tried to get her attention while she talked on the phone and ignored me just kept cutting. I was clear when we started what style I wanted and it was not short. When she finally stopped she said its cute. I told her it was too short and she did not seem to care Yes it was cute but not what I wanted. Afterward, I asked her to cut my sons hair explaining that he hates it but will let her do it anyway. She agreed but when he started to sob quietly it seemed to really bother her and she apologized to him and stopped cutting.saying she was done. Rather than argue with my child anymore I just said fine and finished the cut myself at home.
If you are willing to be very assertive then this is the place for you, but I am not good at confrontation and just expect to get what I pay for. I expect fair treatment and ignoring your client while you cut their hair for an hour is rude. Especially if you are chopping it all off. Some people can do two things at once and if you cannot accept those limitations and realize the customer has to walk around with that hair cut for awhile until it grows back not you. -

This is really cool place. I was looking for a haircut around Burbank, I saw this place, it had good rates on yelp, I gave it a try.
She's really nice and my hair is well done!
I really like it. I was afraid it wouldn't turn out to be like what i expected, but she knew what I wanted. I recommend this place! -

I'm having trouble figuring out how to review Amorous. The salon is clean and bright, the location is excellent for me and parking is easy. My cut was fine, and certainly a precision cut (I'm returning my hair to all-one-length after a year of experimentation, so it could have been a very simple, straightforward trim). The price was a very reasonable $35. So what's wrong?
After reading the reviews here, I called to make an appointment with Amy. I had to wait longer in order to get an appointment with Amy, but due to some complications with my hair, I wanted it cut by the person who is so often praised in these reviews. So I waited the extra week. But when I put my glasses back on after the cut, I realized the license on the mirror gave the stylist's name as Monica. Who knew?
I'm happy with my cut, and Monica was lovely. Minus one star for not booking me with the stylist I requested, and believed I could get.
Oh! One helpful hint: Their credit card machine does not include a tip line. Bring cash or ask them to add the tip onto the charge (lucky me, I had enough cash!). -

I have my eyebrow girl, but just found out I'm filming first thing in the morning and didn't have time to drive out to see her.
So I came here based on the Yelp reviews.
I am extremely picky since it's taken months for my regular girl to get my brows shaped perfectly, since my natural brows are not the shape I want.
Needless to say, I did not leave here with what I was wanting. It's my own fault for not going with what works for myself, but like I said, no time!!!!
However, these ladies were extremely kind in dealing with me and handling my being dissatisfied, which is such a plus because I've been to many spas out here that have horrific service and treat their clients disrespectfully.
So for that I give them 4stars.
(Thank yall for trying to help me in my rush, but if I dont like something I will not pretend to.)
Other than that, spa was very tidy and service was super prompt. And again, the ladies were very kind and gentle with the threading...did not hurt as badly as my regular girl haha, but I think she enjoys seeing me squirm.
For all the Yelpers deciding to visit this spa, just be super clear about what you're wanting done, and I'm sure they'll give you great service!
Thanks again.

ive been having a hard time finding a great salon to go to. but yelp didnt fail me and introduced me to amy. Amy is great and listens to exactly what you say (i hate when stylists tell you what you wanna hear then do their own thing)!! plus shes right around the corner from my work!! she sees a lot of people from the studios so lunch times and after work can get a little busy. her prices is really reasonable too and the salon offers a lot of other services!!

I am very impressed with Amy and Amorous Beauty Salon. I work next door and after a few coworkers went to get stuff done there, I decided to check it out. I called for an appointment because I knew Amy gets a little busy so I wanted to make sure I could be seen. She worked with me to find a time that worked for both of us. She threaded my eyebrows and took so much time and was very precise. My eyebrows came out better than I've ever had them done. I came back later in the evening for a haircut. I had previously had a terrible haircut done and Amy did her best to make it look a bit more blended and not as bad. While it is not perfect, which is NOT Amy's fault, it is so much better and I appreciate her help! I will definitely refer my coworkers and friends. Just make sure to call for an appointment to make sure you get seen at the time you want!

Have been back to see Amy (really, you can't go wrong with an Amy!) several times since that first review, and she's consistently great with color. She finds a way to make my red color last longer and come out brighter than it does anywhere else. Also, she's unfailingly sweet, no matter what weird people she has to deal with. :)

I wanted to try threading for the first time because waxing always leaves me red and itchy! Needless to say i'm very happy with my results, it was a little uncomfortable-but bearable. I didn't catch her name but she was very pleasant and I think I'll be going back there again :]

I was in Burbank earlier this week for a business trip and had a pretty important event in the evening. I called and spoke with Amy and she fit me in before an appointment. I needed a haircut desperately and my stylist in my hometown wasn't available before I left. I was pretty nervous about going to a complete stranger to cut my hair on such short notice. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Amy was so friendly and immediately got to the business of listening to what I had in mind and then made it happen. She did an amazing job and I felt like a million bucks when I walked out of her salon. I wish I lived close to her salon or had regular trips to Burbank.

I needed a new hairstylist and came across Amy through Yelp. She knows how to cut my super straight Asian hair and make it look great and full of life. She also does a great job at threading Bly brows and face. I have been going to her since May 2009.

So I sent the BF here today for his haircut. I am not sure why he got charged $25 for his haircut. I thought that was the pricing for woman. His haircut took way less time than mine and he said they only use scissors for the top only. Therefore, I am taking two stars away for being overpriced for men and one for not using scissors all around for that price. Also, I noticed that once my hair grew out a little bit, my bangs were not even. I guess we'll just have to go find another gem in this neighborhood.

I have been coming here since we moved to Burbank 2 years ago and I love it. Amy is wonderful and very attentive and the clientel is diverse both in age and gender. Great services all around and the prices are great. I never have to tell Amy what I want done, I just let her go to work and have always been happy. Highly recommend this salon and any of the technicians that work their as well.
