About Taboo

Taboo is the relaxed and friendly favorite of Hollywood professionals and creative types who are fashionably aware of their hair. Highly educated and artfully accommodating, Taboo’s cutters and colorists are trusted resources for what’s both new and enduring. With English wit, charm and a love of good conversation, owner Gill Hodgson has made Taboo into a place of personal warmth and singular satisfaction for over 20 years.

Nestled among the unassumingly chic boutiques and cafes of West 3rd Street, Taboo is at the center of a stylish, tight-knit community in one of LA’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Our spacious, Deco-inspired interiors designed by Taboo’s neighbor Jon Noble are accented with glowing blond wood to create a bright, modern environment. Music is provided by our stylists’ own iPods—an eclectic mix that’s often thanks to recommendations from our own clients. In fact, we pride ourselves on knowing that our clients travel the world to bring us the latest in everything from food and fashion, design and wine to share with us…over a cup of PG Tipps tea, of course.
