Services
Healthy Perm
Our Healthy Perm uses Owave technology to create long-lasting curls and waves while maintaining hair health. This treatment adds volume and movement to flat hair through customized curl patterns matched to your lifestyle. The process begins with a scalp analysis to determine the optimal formulation, using biodynamic ingredients like helichrysum hydrolat and blackthorn extract to protect hair during transformation. We offer various curl styles from beach waves to defined spirals, with aftercare kits available to maintain results.
GinaCurl
The GinaCurl restructures hair molecules for reduced frizz and enhanced manageability while maintaining hair integrity. This service allows tighter textures to achieve looser curls with minimal breakage through a customized chemical application process. We use a thio chemical formula that processes for up to an hour, enabling precise porosity management along the hair shaft. Retouch appointments focus solely on new growth, protecting previously treated sections with a specialized cream to maintain consistent texture and prevent over-processing.
Organic Color
Our organic coloring services use plant-based formulations that minimize chemical damage while achieving vibrant, lasting results. The process begins with a detailed consultation about hair history and desired outcomes, followed by strand testing to determine optimal formulation strength. Clients receive personalized aftercare instructions including product recommendations and washing schedules to maintain color vibrancy, with specific guidance for touch-ups and color refreshes.
Damaged Hair Treatment
This intensive rebuilding treatment restores strength and elasticity to chemically damaged hair using keratin proteins and moisturizing agents. The 90-minute process includes a deep conditioning mask application followed by targeted strengthening treatments focusing on weakened sections. Clients receive a customized home care regimen featuring hydrating shampoos and leave-in conditioners designed to maintain repaired hair structure.
Curly Cut
Our specialized curly hair cutting technique enhances natural curl patterns through dry-cutting methods that account for hair's natural shrinkage. The 60-90 minute service includes a personalized styling lesson teaching clients how to maintain their new cut at home. Each appointment begins with a consultation about lifestyle and maintenance preferences to determine optimal layering and volume distribution.

I am cleaning up my review and laying out the whole story as clearly as I can because Virgo salon IS A SCAM!!!
1) Be aware, most if not all the pictures Virgo posts on Yelp and Insta are NOT their work! "Mateo" takes photos from clients' pages and passes them off to SEEM like he/Virgo did the styling... when in fact the clients are just making regular posts and styled their own hair!! (He changes his name from Spanish to English and uses different initials depending on the day because HE IS A SCAMMER!)
2) You'll notice most if not all of the positive reviews are for

I now understand that my trouble getting a return call was due to COVID absences, and not the fault of the salon. Mateo was very quick to make it right. My return visit was very pleasant and satisfying. I now love my haircut. Thanks for everything!

Let me start by saying I have never been to a salon that specializes in curls. I am so happy I decided to put my trust into this place. I had an amazing and honest consultation with Ashanti and I booked my appointment to get my pintura highlights two days later. Not only was she friendly but she gave me her honest opinion on the colors that would work for me and gave me options. She made sure I understood the care and upkeep of each option. I had been feeling down about my look and my hair and now I feel so happy with my hair again. I can't stop smiling. She painted the hell out of my hair

A spiritual journey of hair alchemy and nurturing relaxation. I had my hair cut by Alanna who is an experienced, easy-going, beautiful grounding soul that made me feel at home. Mateo washed and textured my hair to prep it for air dry. I have to tell you I have never experienced someone touching, washing and intuitively knowing what my hair needed like Mateo did. It was really beautiful to experience The Virgo hair salon. I I feel like I found the perfect salon for me. I highly recommend this gem, as it is a rare and luminous one.

I highly recommend Virgo! I had my first visit in almost 2 years. Elana is supreme (just like owner Mateo) - My hair is very happy, as am I! The atmosphere is lovely, all around. This is THE spot for curly cuts, and treatments, in L.A.
