Refine Salon, located at 8571 Santa Monica Blvd. has closed its doors. The salon which boasts premium hairstyles for men will close its West Hollywood location.
Refine sent clients a letter titled REFINE CLOSURE 6/1/2025:
Dear Valued Clients,
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of Refine Salon.
This was not a decision made lightly, but unfortunately, the rising costs of doing business in the City of West Hollywood have made it impossible for us to continue. In addition to operating expenses, the escalating rent – scheduled to increase again – coupled with our landlords’ refusal to negotiate more reasonable terms during an already difficult economic period, left us with very few options.
We’ve also been deeply affected by a significant drop in foot traffic and city council policies that, rather than supporting small businesses, have made it increasingly difficult for them to survive – let alone grow and thrive. These conditions have sadly made continuing operations unsustainable.
To our loyal clients – we cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support, kindness, and trust over the years. Serving you has been an absolute honor and privilege, and we are incredibly grateful to have been part of your lives and self-care routines.
With deepest gratitude, The Refine Salon Team
Wow! Two closures 2 days a part in the same complex! Sad…
Very sad. And what is sad too is that the city doesn’t recognize that their policies are failing its citizens and its small business community. Vote differently next election or we’re going to get more of the same failure.
We need fewer people to run, or have ranked voting. The far left puts out 1-2 candidates who run together and take 25% of the vote. The majority 75% then vote for more moderate candidates, but is spread amount 6 people.
