This place is small, but with plenty of space--busy, but never rushed--chatty and I guess there's music, but you don't have to shout over music or the other stylists. I love that.
I found Liz on Yelp and gladly pay the Level 3, $45 for a fine technical haircut. She is totally solid on the architecture of the cut. (I'd never try to save $10 by going with a level 2 stylist, if you have difficult or unforgiving hair, or need repairs from a bad cut.) Plus, she is one great person. She is going for Vidal Sassoon training in Santa Monica, and I just hope I can afford her in a couple of years... One thing I love is that she listens to me---but not completely! That dumb thing that won't work, she just somehow doesn't do... And two days later I'm so glad she didn't--quite--give me what I wanted--before I knew better...cuz my hair looks great. And in the past when I "back seat drove" my haircut it always came out disastrous.
The other stylists also look quietly competent and I've never seen a bad job go out of there.
