What's with the old man at the register?I've bought a few things here over the past few years. He always makes me feel like im not worthy of a smile, a thank you or anything that makes me feel welcome in the store. My very last time at the store i was looking for a tweezer. There was a few near the cash register. They were pretty expensive so i asked if they had anything cheaper. Without a word, he pointed at the display of expensive tweezers. I say thank you and i put back the expensive tweezer on the display. I walk around the store preparing to leave when i notice an other display full of cheap tweezers!! I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but this man has been here for years and i doubt he's unaware the store carries many kinds of tweezers. I've had it. Bye bye Larchmont beauty shop!

Man, this place has everything. A salon in back and more hygiene and beauty supplies than you can shake a stick at. Larchmont Beauty Center is kind of a depot for hair and skin products. You can find both the mundane and very high-end products that are often only available at the associated store or online. One example: The Art of Shaving line. Very hard to find outside of one of their shop or online, but here it is. Being a beauty store, of course, they don't have just 2 types of nail clipper, they have 8. Not 3 nail files, but 9. If you are a very picky customer, this is your place to shop. Also, besides some of the more upscale products I'm familiar with, they also seem to carry some local brands that I'm unfamiliar with. I got a really nice bar of soap with a patchouli-forward fragrance that I'm quite fond of. Going through this store can easily take an hour: the shelves are close together and TALL. The employees asked if they could help me without being overbearing, which is a definite check it in my book. So, of all the beauty-oriented stores on Larchmont, this would be my go-to.

I left this place with my feelings hurt because I went out of my way to support a local business when I normally buy my toiletries at Bloomingdale's online (where I don't have to interact with anyone). Decided to pay a lil extra and I regret it. The old man at the register was super rude to me. I walked up with my toothpaste and said "just this please " and he ignored me for the longest minute of my life. Like we both just stood there as he ignored me. My partner and I are Mexican and visibly gay so my first instinct was to think that's why he was ignoring me and he also didn't say anything after I paid (like thank you). I didn't want to believe that was true but I feel validated by the other reviews about customer service on here. Multiple ppl said the same thing about this particular man's behavior. So save your money and support a different small business. It's not a pleasant or relaxing experience, the prices aren't great, it's crowded and small.

I come here for nail polish. They are well stocked and carry many different brands. They always have the popular colors in stock. This place rarely has sales so expect to pay full retail price.

Although they had a wide selection of beauty products I felt constantly watched and followed which made me super uncomfortable and left because of it.

Went into this store a few months ago, I was going to buy a lot of make up and Oribe products. I was using one of the foundation testers to see which one matched my skin. The older lady finally came by to help shade match me but held on to the tester as if I was going to steal it and didn't put it back in its place. Instead walked away with it. Made me feel so unwelcome and discriminated. Based on others reviews, I see the same thing happened to them. Will not be going back to this store for sure. And I was so excited to see a brand that is rare to find in stores. Will be contacting that brand and letting them know what happened.

I've been coming here for 15 yrs..I walked in on Thursday afternoon and noticed a woman, Reno Glynn, cutting hair in the back area. Turns out she offers full styling services. Reno took me today for cut/base color/partial highlights. She was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. My hair looks terrific and now I have a new hair stylist!! Highly recommend her...especially if you didn't even realize she was there!!

They have everything from R&Co to Skin Ceuticles, and more! If you need a gift, you can’t go wrong- they’re helpful and cheery. Love this place!

This is the best beauty supply store ever! They have an amazing variety of high-end products and keep up with the latest innovations. Fred and all the rest of the staff are very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. I buy all my beauty products here because it's not only a super store, but I also like supporting family-run small businesses.

Hair God! Fred Herdt is a "hidden gem" literally hidden in the back room of the famous Larchmont Beauty Center. I moved to the area and for the last 6 months have been doing an hour drive to my old stylist because I just don't trust new people with my hair. On a recommendation, by a trusted friend, I found him. He is amazing with color, amazing with scissors and his blow out skills are unicorn level. If you are in need of a fresh new look or a new stylist, call Fred!!

The variety of products is insane. Fred has been at this game for so long that he just knows his clientele. He somehow has a great insight into future product needs too. Honestly, if you're looking for beauty product that you can't find anywhere else, chances are you will find it here.

This place carries so many products! Instantly when you get inside, you'll see these towering shelves of all things beauty related. To shampoos, nail care, skin care, hair care, candles, perfumes, you name it. They have it. I also love how they even carry a few selections of minis since it's sometimes hard to know if the product will work for you. I got lost in trance looking at everything they had. Service could have been better though. While I was in line, the man who was ringing up a guest pretty much gave her the "take it or leave it" attitude. And when asked about the policy he straight up said no returns or exchanges. understandably so, especially since we are still in the pandemic, that makes total sense. However the way he communicated that was a bit rude. This review is really for the products they carry, but service really lacks.

I have shopped at Larchmont beauty supply since I moved to Los Angeles in 1995. I love the selection of products and the brands they carry. The store is clean and well organized and the prices on the high side but fair. I have not been in the store since the pandemic started. I had stopped in Larchmont the other day got a coffee next door at Starbucks and decided to go inside I was going to buy some beauty products for my niece and one thing for myself. Went to the counter and was overcharged. The ancient homophobic Persian man at the counter told me that the products had been missed priced. It's the law in the state of California that you have to charge the customer whatever price they've put on the product even if it's wrong. It's not my fault they miss marked the price and I have no way of knowing if this true or if he was he charging me more because he doesn't like queers. I've always felt a weird vibe from him and his wife and this is the last time I'll step foot in their store. I ordered the products from Amazon.
