Your Highland Park Salon Experience at Bokaos

Highland Park has its own unmistakable identity. You grab a horchata con espresso at Cafe de Leche on York Blvd, browse vinyl at a record shop on Cypress Ave, then catch a late lunch at The Hermosillo before heading home through the tree-lined streets near the Arroyo Seco. It is a neighborhood built on taste and culture. At Bokaos, we respect that. Our stylists take the time to understand your personal style, your lifestyle, and the look you are going for. Whether you want something bold and editorial or low-maintenance and polished, we build your service around you.

We know Highland Park clients appreciate quality over flash. That is exactly what the Aveda line delivers. Plant-based, high-performance hair color and care products that protect your hair while giving you results that last. From the moment you walk through our doors on Hugus Alley to your final blowout, the experience feels intentional. No rush. No cookie-cutter formulas. Just skilled professionals using the best products available. Think of it as the salon equivalent of your favorite York Blvd coffee shop: independent, detail-obsessed, and worth the trip every single time.

Services Popular with Highland Park Clients

Our Highland Park regulars tend to gravitate toward services that let them express themselves while keeping things wearable for everyday life. Balayage and lived-in color are two of our most requested services. They give you dimension and movement without the harsh grow-out lines that come with traditional foiling. Our Aveda color artists specialize in creating tones that complement your features naturally. If you prefer a full transformation, our color and foil services range from subtle highlights to dramatic fashion shades. We use Aveda Full Spectrum color, which delivers rich, long-lasting results with up to 96% naturally derived ingredients. Check our full service menu for pricing and details on every option we offer.

Beyond color, our cut and style services are built for precision. Whether you are after a textured shag, a sharp bob, or a clean men's cut, our stylists bring technical skill and creative vision to every appointment. We also offer Aveda treatments that restore moisture, repair damage, and add serious shine. Highland Park clients who spend time outdoors along the Arroyo Seco trails or commuting on the Gold Line know how quickly LA sun and dry air can take a toll on your hair. Our botanical treatments are designed to reverse that damage and keep your color looking fresh between visits. Every service starts with a consultation so we can build a plan that fits your goals and your budget.
