Expert Hairstylist I can't say enough about how well Martin does his job. He goes above and beyond anything I have ever experienced in a hairdresser. He seems to love his work, always sharing new ideas for the style and care of my hair. Also, he has his own product line which is awesome. My hair seems to be growing much faster since I have been using his stuff. Martin also does his own booking, making it a lot easier to work out an appointment that is convenient for me. As long as Martin is doing hair I will never go anyplace else.

Getting the Right Hair Cut and Color!
How many people do you know that actually love their hair? What are the qualities that create a great head of hair? It is supposed that some people are just lucky. These "lucky" people seem to have hair that looks great when they roll out of bed in the morning. Perhaps, there are a few people for which this supposition is true. However, for most it is not. For example, Jennifer Anniston has been known for her locks since the sought after haircut she premiered on "Friends." After that, women across the country ran to their stylist asking for that haircut. Little did they realize that that haircut was wisely chosen to accentuate her features and may not be suitable for everyone. In addition, her hair color complimented her skin tones and cut. This magical combination of cut and colors was formulated by a stylist specifically for Jennifer Anniston. If the average person wishes to attain the same wow-factor as the movie stars, she needs to have an experienced stylist choose a cut and color appropriate for her features and skin tones.
Both my husband & I have gone to Martin for years now & have never been anything other than happy with his work.. we highly recommend him.. cut color etc you can't go wrong
Client Philippa Mitchell
Martin is great at color! Organic color is great, i loves the way Martin can add three different colors and makes it look so natural. Always happy after a cut and color with Martin.
Cannot go wrong with Martin!
Thanks so much for doing such a great job on Desiree's hair!! Luv U!!

Martin has done my hair for 2 years and from my first cut and color, I knew he was different. He has style and great insight, he's also very professional and reliable. I moved to Las Vegas in November and tried a new stylist. To make a long story short, I had a horrible experience and was able to call Martin for advice. I made a special trip to California just to have him not only cut and color but fix my hair. He always helps me and now I wont go to anyone else. Thanks Martin, you're the best.

Fabulous stylist
Martin has been doing my hair for more than a decade now and I am just as thrilled with him as my stylist now as i was when he first started doing my hair. My cuts are always perfect - current, easy for me to maintain, and frames my face perfectly. The color couldn't be more perfect! He is by far the best colorist. I frequently get compliments on my cut and style, but ALWAYS get compliments on the color. If you ever want on overall experience you must visit Martin...did I mention I drive 90 miles roundtrip to see him - he's worth it!

Martin has been doing my hair for over 20 years and I only love him more and more as time goes by! I have fine, curly hair and he manages to cut and style it so that it looks full, soft and always manageable! If you have textured hair-you MUST see him! Martin is a hair guru! Love you babe! ;P

Martin Rodriguez
I highly recommend Martin Rodriguez at Ooh La La Salon. He has been doing my hair for almost a decade and I have always been thrilled with my hair. Martin has taken my hair through many different lengths and colors, from black to strawberry blonde. Before Martin, I was always unhappy with my curly, unruly hair. I was one of those people who always wore a ponytail or a clip to get my hair out of the way. Since Martin, I have learned to love my hair, always receiving compliments on the cut and color. Thanks Martin Rodriguez at Ooh La La Salon! You're the best.

Amazing results
There is no better colorist than Martin Rodriquez! If you want a someone who knows color, hair products and styles that are leading edge in the industry, Martin is your man! He is a advocate of products without harmful chemicals, sulfites, and strong chemical smells. Let me tell you a little story! Martin has been my stylist for about ten years now. Typically, I highlight my hair in soft blondes w/ a warm brown base color, or a third color that I'll call caramel. Once or twice a year, I get a bug in my ear and decide to go dark brown. It is always a shock to my skin color and the typical clothing colors that I wear. This time I felt that it settled to more reddish cast than I wanted. Because his PASSION is making us crazy clients happy, he brought me back in and softened the dark brown with softer highlights(a dark blonde). And it is at his expense because hes a proffessional and wants me to be happy. What more can you ask of your stylist? If you want the best, Martin is it!

AMAZING
I couldn't be happier with my new cut! I went in with an idea of what I wanted and Martin listened, gave suggestions, and really worked with my style to create a look that's me... only better. My hair is healthy, swingy and frames my face perfectly, and I'm getting compliments all the time. Thanks Martin for making me feel confident and beautiful!

Great colorist
I met Martin six years ago when I was searching desperately through the phone book for a salon to do my color (roots) the same day (I have a thing about waiting until the last minute to get things done). I called Allure salon and spoke with Martin. He took me right in. Since then he has been doing my hair religiously every month. With the busy schedule that I have, it's nice that I can call Martin at the last minute and he always makes time for me. Martin is a great colorist & stylist. Martin does my extensions (that are reasonably priced), and also my color. He has a great eye for color. I'm a blond and I always get lots of compliments on my color. I highly recommend Martin. I seriously wouldn't know what I'd do without him!

great hair
Martin - just to let you know how happy I am with my hair cut. It is so easy to take care off that most times I just wash & air dry. The organic hair color you use is great! I can go longer between treatments and my hair is always shinny.

Martin rodriguez
Martin is the very best. Hair is always done perfectly, the organic color lasts 2 weeks longer than the competitive products, and I've never been disappointed in the service.
Martin is very honest on the styles I can pull off with my hair type and he always accommodates my hectic schedule. Never have to wait on my appts and Martin never double books me with other clients.
You won't be disappointed if you go to Martin!

Martin Rodriguez
I met Martin in 2003 and have been only going to him ever since. He is the first stylist that i have met that is so confident in his work. He works with each individual type of hair and not with what is "in" and is absolutely honest with you. His work with color is always amazing that compliment flow right after you leave the salon. He will accommodate you almost anytime (even at crack of dawn) if you need him. I can't detach from him.

Martin rodriguez is an Artist.
Martin has been my Stylist for 10+ years. He has taken me through all my phases: mediumlength hair to wild, flowing, long chili-red tresses! Now, I just sit back, relax and let Martin do his magic AND KNOW it will be perfect - EVERY SINGLE TIME!! So much so - I have refered at least 30 people to him - maybe more. And they have told friends too!!
I can always count on him to make look and feel beautiful. Honestly, once you've gone to Martin, anyone else would be a step down.

Kalea Rose Products
I have been Martin's client and friend formany years and he is the only one that i allow to do whatever he wants to my hair because he is not only good but takes pride in what he does.
After many years of talking about creating his own product, well, it finally is here.The birth of Kalea Rose. Martin used the Kalea Rose products on me and it was absolutely amazing.The shamppo alone is so soft that after it is rinses off, your hair remains soft. I loved it so much i refused to shampoo my hair even after a work out. Congrats and thank you Martin.

I can only begin to say how much I appreciate Martin at OOh la la salon! I have fine straight hair and I've searched for - literally - years to find a way to wear it that looks professional yet sassy. Martin works with hair care products that protect my fine hair and makes it look healthy and full. He also cuts and styles it in a way that my hair that is in keeping with what my hair WANTS to do! It is always easy to take care of and I can style it quickly. I constantly get compliments on my hair - sometimes from total strangers! Martin - thank you - you are the best!

The Best
I have been coming to Martin for almost nine years now. He has always taken the time to give me the best cut and color for my style and facial structure. I have been to some other "brand name" salons in prestigious areas and nobody has given me the results that I get from Martin. His knowledge and experience have taken me through many colors and lengths with my hair. He has done my hair for formal events as well as nights out on the town. I have always been thrilled with the results. One of the best things about Martin is that he stays on top of the latest products and technologies. When he started using Organic Color I was amazed to see how beautiful the results were. I would never trust anybody else with my hair.

progressive colorist !
Martin is one of the most progressive stylist/colorist's I have ever known! He is always up to date with the newest products and hairstyles in the Industry! He networks with a multitude of industry specialists from hairstylists to product manufacturers; puts on classes for other salons to promote products that excel and introduces other stylists to the great products he finds. I have been a customer of his for a least a decade and he makes sure that I am happy with not only my color(very important to me) but also the newest styles. Please take a moment to look at the importance of the organic products that he uses...especially for those who might have chemical sensitivity. I personally do not, but I can tell you I appreciate the lack of strong chemical smells while having my hair done! Do your hair and yourself a favor! Call Martin and you will be the happiest advertisement for his wonderful techniques ever!

martin rodriguez
Martin Rodriquez has been cutting my hair for almost 5 years. The girls in my office raved about him so I thought I'd give him a try.
WOW. I refuse to go to anyone else now. I have thick naturally curly hair which is hard to work with....he gave me a cut that works for me! I always tell him that I am his walking billboard because everywhere I go I get compliments from strangers on my hair. I always smile and tell them that Martin cut my hair. I now have to carry his business cards in my wallet because everyone wants to know who cut my hair! I have referred several of my friends and family members to him as well. In fact, every time my hip mother (who is in her 80's) and my sister come out from Florida to visit me, they make it a point to have their hair cut and styled by Martin! They adore him! What makes Martin such a unique stylist is that he takes all of your physical traits into consideration when he cuts/colors your hair...from your figure, right down to the color of

I walked in here with an appointment with Martin. The first reaction was WHOAH this place is happenin! It has a nice decor that makes you calm in the midst of a busy salon. The ladies behind the desk are friendly, welcoming and happy. They have coffee and cookies waiting to be snacked upon during the times of lounging in the comfy couches and chairs before your appointment. The place is spick n span. They are fully stocked with some good hair lines especially the new hair care sensation Kalea Rose. My experince getting my first hair cut here is mind blowing. Martin proved to me his experience and talent is very professional and on track with what looks good on everyone by just looking at features. This is the mark of someone who is "in" to me. Go to him he is rediculous awesome.
I walked out feeling like a million bucks. Everyone complimented this is their favorite short hair cut on me. I have had short hair for 10 years by the way!
