The Best 18 Hair Salons in Pasadena, Los Angeles (part 3)

Oscar Daniel Best Hair studio in Pasadena. Ive been cutting with Gil over the past 15yrs the whole staff is super awesome and friendly I highly recommend SDLC

Jessica G Gil and his team are amazing. Excellent skills and customer service

A R-M ALfonso cuts my hair. He is an artist with short styles. When set free he puts such enthusiasm in his styles. A very enjoyable experience.

Jenny Piedra I’ve been going for a while and love it. My hair leaves bouncier and I appreciate that it’s not just a blowout or ironed curls for everyone because they want you to see how your hair will actually be after you leave.

Shirin Shivaei I’ve been going to tangles salon for the last 5 years, and I love it! Lyn is amazing with curly haircuts, and she really spends time and attention making sure the cut looks perfect. I appreciate how flexible she is with the finishing touches. I also love the calming vibe of the hair salon. Would highly recommend!

Maria U Today was my first time visiting this salon and it was a really great experience. The receptionist (Laura?) was so friendly, and made me feel welcome from the jump. My stylist Nick was fantastic. He took the time to look at my inspiration photo and talk to me so he as sure to give me exactly what I wanted. The chat was good as well, he is just the nicest person and really positive/uplifting. Will be back, and recommending to my curly haired son as well. Thanks, Tangles!

Johnny Sage Nick is a great all-around person and I can highly vouch for him and the effort he puts into his work with clients. He definitely comes from a place of integrity and really knows what hes talking about when it comes to anything hair-related. Check out his work and youll see for yourself youll get fantastic results.

Caroline H Excellent service and amazing results! Street parking is free and easy if you start your appointment by 9 a.m. Early morning appointments are available. Street parking fees begin at 11 a.m. Or, if your appointment is later in the day, pay for parking at the garage one block away ($12 max daily fee). My stylist is Lyn. She is an experienced stylist who can do everything: perms, color, cuts, all of it. And shes super nice! All of the staff are friendly and professional.

Polly Huang I got a haircut from Yuri today and loved my experience at the salon with her! I showed her some reference photos and she also gave me some of her suggestions. I asked for my hair to be cut a little below my shoulders, some layers, and curtain bangs. Yuri was really polite, attentive, and very detailed with the cut! She started by cutting my hair dry, then shampoo & head massage, and ended with blow drying and some more trimming. Thank you for the cut Yuri! I will definitely be back!

Huanran Shi “I’ve been getting my hair cut at PINOK STUDIO by Matsumoto for almost two years now, and I couldn’t be happier! YUTA’s skills are absolutely top-notch—every single time, he manages to give me exactly the style I’m looking for. On top of that, the salon is always spotless and has a calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!”

Sarah G. I am so happy to have found this salon! I have experienced the head spa (with Pamela), and a hair cut and root touch-up color with Masha. The service is fantastic, and the salon aesthetic is pleasant, airy, and comfortable. Theres no overly loud music or echo chambers of loud talking and hair dryer noise - one of the huge benefits of a smaller salon space that is decorated with intention. Parking is relatively easy, although the area gets busy during the week at lunchtime, and on the weekends. I am very happy with my haircut from Masha - she really took the time to understand what I was frustrated with and what I needed and took even more time to cut my hair beautifully. Its exactly what I wanted and I can tell it will grow out perfectly. The head spa is absolutely worth the cost if youre the type who enjoys the shampoo part of a salon visit the most. Some people really like a spa-like experience with a full body massage, some people go for facials - I love a great scalp massage and hair blow out. This is perfect self-care and delivered with care. 10/10 recommend and will absolutely go back.

SY X Had a lovely appointment with Yuri. She is more than just a stylist- shes a sculptor. She took her time to get my hair into shape without cutting off my length. The ends were damaged from coloring and hard to brush, but with her skills, Yuri transformed my rats nest into silk that was easy to comb through. She also took her time to frame my hair to my face in the way I usually style it. Really good experience. Definitely found my hair studio and will be back.

Janli Gwo I love this place, everyone is so friendly and I love getting my hair cut by Kai every time I go! The head / scalp massage is HEAVENLY. Most importantly, Kai really listens to what I ask for. When I say I want a lot of layers, she REALLY spends 20 min on just layering, unlike other asian/japanese places that usually opt for more conservative face-framing layers. I’m talking, like 90s layers with voluminous hair thinning (like a long wolf cut). Posted photo as a result! Sometimes I just want like toned down kpop style curtain bangs and face framing layers and she listens and executes perfectly as well. Kai also spends time showing me how to properly style my hair which I really appreciate. Love this place!

Cris Sierra I am a new (and now loyal) client after a great experience with Chad. I am a natural brunette (Latina) and I was due for a highlights service on my dark roots. Chad got me to the perfect blonde color without having to use any heat and my hair feels and looks great. I’m happy and relieved I found a new salon “home” in my new neighborhood.

Sharayah C Went in a few months ago for a hair cut. Explained what I wanted very clearly with photos, and received one of the worst, and most rushed hair cuts Ive had in years. I believe it was Chad that cut my hair. There was no styling, one long layer with no blending (I asked for shorter layers, in a 70s kind of style, as shown in an older photo of my hair), and the cut left me worse off than I was with my old layer grow out and split ends. Absolutely do not recommend going here. Thankfully I found a muchhhh better stylist elsewhere (DTLA) that provided the layers and cut I asked for, I suggest you save your money and your hair!

Cathi Parson I’ve been going to Chad (co-owner) for many years. Even tried a few other people but always go back to Salon Passione and Chad. Barring a relocation, Chad is stuck with me. Just got my hair done today and it’s fabulous as always. The haircuts and color are by far the best I’ve had. I am a natural redhead, yet with the inevitable gray taking over Chad has found just the right recipe to bring my hair back to its once natural color. Great customer comfort and service is on full display at Salon Passione. Oh, and the music is alway great! Thanks Chad and Grazia.

Debbie Sandberg Chad and Grazia have amazing talent! They provide quality service and its a great Salons inmosphere! Chad gives a great color and cut with lots of humor added! Cool personality!

Shefali DSa I purchased a Groupon for the cut, condition, and color because it was such a great deal...and Im so happy I did. Chad (stylist as well as owner) did all 3, and Im very pleased with his work. He used color by LOreal and it turned out beautifully. He did an excellent job on my haircut and I love how versatile the cut is - especially because I told him I have 2 kids and dont have time to do my hair. When doing the deep conditioning treatment, he was thorough and made sure it was evenly distributed. Everyone in the salon was very professional, friendly, and interested in doing a good job. My hair looks and feels fabulous, and I will definitely be going back there again. Im also going to take my son and my husband because of the great results I got. On a total side note...I love the parking situation here. There are a couple of spots in the back, but in addition, you can park on Locust St. as well without any issues. And...the glass of red wine didnt hurt :) All in all, a wonderful experience!

Christine Kim Recently got my hair done with Kristin (@kolourkrissy) and she was amazing! She took the time, care, and effort to make sure I got the hair style that I wanted and made sure to follow up with me on hair products and maintenance. Having straight Asian hair that is thick and tends to get a little poofy, she really got me to trust her to know what style would work best for my hair while getting the style that I wanted. For anyone who is getting a cut or color done, I HIGHLY recommend getting your hair done by Kristin!

Indie I wish I could say I had a great experience at this salon, as it isn’t the first time I have left the salon feeling like I was unsatisfied and disappointed with my results. I went in for a consultation and strand test to see if Union could handle my color correction needs. During the consultation, they tested a small section of hair on the back of my head. They left the product on for only five minutes, blow-dried it without using foil, and the result was a brassy orange. That alone didn’t leave me feeling very confident, but I decided to move forward because they assured me they could fix my color. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as smoothly as I had hoped. The stylist who did the consultation (stylist #1) told me she wasn’t available, so they scheduled me with another stylist (stylist #2) I had never met. I’m leaving names out for anonymity. I was asked to pay a $100 deposit to book the appointment, and they quoted me $750 for the color correction. I understand that stylist #2 runs her own business and has her own pricing structure, but this price was still much higher (almost double?than what i ended up paying at a very reputable salon that delivered amazing results (almost got my whole head to platinum blonde which was very deceiving due to the test strand being orange but i assume it was because of their odd and unprofessional process of going about my test strand) Despite my hesitations, I decided to trust the process and move forward. On the day of my appointment, stylist #2 had to cancel due to the fires in the area, which was completely understandable given the circumstances. However, the rescheduling process was frustrating. Stylist #2’s only available times conflicted with my school schedule, and the next opening wasn’t for another month. Having already paid the $100 deposit, I felt stuck, as I’d planned my schedule around the original appointment and now faced a long wait for a solution. To their credit, stylist #2 reached out three days later and refunded my deposit, which I appreciated. I also understand that circumstances beyond their control can happen. However, the overall experience—from the consultation process to the lack of flexibility in rescheduling—left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. While I respect that stylist #2 is running her own business and has her own pricing and policies, the lack of communication and the difficulty in accommodating my schedule made this experience a challenging one. I’m glad I got my deposit back, but I wouldn’t return to this salon. There are other places that provide better communication, more reasonable pricing, and an overall smoother experience.

Denise Mandap I had a haircut with Kristin a couple days ago and she’s amazing! She made sure to ask questions about specifics with the cut to ensure that it was exactly what I was looking for. She really takes her time to make sure everything, down to the styling, is perfect! I’ve already recommended her to friends and family!

Bree Smith I had an amazing cut and style with Kristin this past weekend. I have always had good experiences with Union Salon South, and after my original hair stylist moved away I have tried a variety of different stylists here and have always been happy with my results. But Kristin goes above and beyond, giving tips and tricks about haircuts -- and even volunteered to help a curly hair girl like me learn how best to leave my hair curly or straighten it. She even gave me some clips to take home to try to replicate her blow dry! The cut she gave me is stylish and fresh, and I absolutely love it. I will be going back to see her next time!

Reedhina Parekh I came here for Balayage for the first time and had a terrific experience. My hair stylist was Kristin and she treated my hair like her own. She reached out the day before to get pictures of my hair and discussed the color/style. Kristin went above and beyond to make sure she uses best products for my hair and limits any damage that coloring can cause. My hair turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend this place and Kristin.

L J Kelly is absolutely phenomenal! She truly listened to what I wanted and delivered a perfect haircut. Not only is her skill incredible, but she’s kind and made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole appointment. I cant recommend her enough - Ive finally found my go-to stylist!. She’s a heaven sent.

Aline Souza I went to a treatment from Groupon and I had the worst experience of my life. The guy (I think Italian) pulled my hair a lot and washed it in a very harsh way. I went home with a hair less hydrated, scalp hurting and looking way worst than I came in. Dont go to this guy unless you hair is annoyingly straight; strong and sparse. My hair is curly-wavy; lots and thin all he did was break and damage it.

Laura Roccia I love going VP salon. It is open and airy with an artistic feel. I feel very comfortable there and can be myself! Everyone is friendly and it is a relaxing experience. Vincenzo is an amazing stylist and colorist. He is very passionate about having the products be organic for the health of his customers and is a true leader in the industry. I love the way he does my hair and is very focused and detailed with his work. He makes me feel comfortable and brings my natural beauty. I always feel very happy I choose VP salon for all of these reasons.

Miss HD Ive been going here on and off for several years. My hairstylist is David. Hes ahmmmmazing. He always delivers on my hair style request. He just knows hair and owns his craft. David is personable, a great listener, and easy to carry conversation. Very pleased with my haircut!!

Erin Greeson I am absolutely stunned by what Vincenzo did with my hair. He is nothing short of a miracle worker, a testament to his highest-quality expertise, sheer talent, and genuine caring about his clients’ situations and outcomes. I was a walk-in and was immediately greeted with kindness and welcoming; Vincenzo’s colleague was assisting someone else but encouraged me to come in and found that the salon owner himself was available and happy to set aside another project in order to help me. I’m quite bad about hair maintenance and needed help ahead of a work conference. After years of hiking in the California sun, my hair had become brittle and broken. Like millions during the pandemic, high stress apparently led to a strange thinning (which never would have occurred to me, had my doctor not explained). My long hair was in horrible shape, neglected and botched by my own trimming attempts after a cut gone wrong earlier this year. It felt dead, dry, brittle and bad, unlike the hair I used to have; I thought I’d never get that hair back. Vincenzo listened to what I was aiming for - long layers - and began his magic. It was like experiencing a gifted artist at work. And lucky me, the medium was my hair. Vincenzo transformed the dry, bland, lifeless mess into a soft, cascading, wonderful-feeling new head of hair. No fancy products. No special styling. No gimmicks or product sales pitches. I pointed out that I’m in my 40s, and he said, “you don’t have many grays. You don’t need to color your hair…” instead of trying to push coloring on me as others might. His expert cut transformed my hair and “rescued it,” as I said, shocked and delighted by the transformation. As long as I live in Pasadena, I will never have anyone but Vincenzo cut my hair from now on. It is rare to find someone of this level of expertise and genuine caring. Thank you, VP Salon Organic!

Rachel Ariel Murphy Talin is amazing! The best cut Ive ever had and the most perfect color every single time. She has attention to detail and really truly wants to make sure that youre happy with your hair. She is an awesome person so its always an enjoyable time and she is so insanely talented. Having Talin do your hair cant be beat! She explains everything she does which is great - but I trust her so much that Id take her opinion and advice no matter what haha

Tonya Blair I was looking for a salon who installed extensions (My hair was Breaking off at the ends and very brittle) Then I found “Cheveux Hair Boutique” Talin is my hair dresser…. A.k.a. my hair doctor. I am so glad I found her She was able to install my extensions. We got my hair back to health took a long time, but you just gotta be Patient. After my hair grew back in, I took off the extensions. My hair grew even more, but I wanted some more density so we added some K tips and sew in In the back for some fullness. I absolutely love my hair and trust her Completely.

Stavroula Spiliotis Talin is one of the most talented and kindest hair stylist/ salon owner out there. She listens to your wants and also helps guide me whenever I don’t know what to do with my hair. Seriously, some of the best haircuts I have received have been from her and I always leave happy. She rescued my hair after someone else butchered it years ago and I have trusted her ever since.

Lana Talin, the owner, is the best colorist I’ve ever met. She is very experienced and super knowledgeable. I do a very complex combination of highlights, base and toner - and she always delivers! Talin also helps me to pick the hair care products(shampoo, conditioner, styling products etc) that help the hair stay healthy and preserves the color. And she has an absolute incredible personality too :) other hair dressers at the salon are very nice and friendly. I always look forward to my appointments.

Mirasol Cardenas LOVE it here ,Sharon is the grey expert & does much more. Talin is the sweetest. Every visit is super enjoyable.

Alina Aleksandrova I had the most incredible experience at this salon. The salon itself was clean and very nice. The front desk staff was friendly and accommodating. My appointment with Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She listened to all of my concerns, worked with my wishes for how I wanted my hair to look, and adjusted for my hair type and styling preferences. For the first time ever, I walked out of a salon with my hair looking exactly how I pictured it in my head! Ruth was also super sweet and so much fun to talk to! I highly recommend this salon!

Yvonne Gallardo I love Salon Bravo! The owner Monique is pretty awesome! I leave the salon feeling like a million. I get so many compliments.

Abigail Orellana Im not one to write reviews often, only when Ive had a notably bad or VERY good experience. I hadnt had a haircut in ages and was really looking forward to one this season. As customers, we want everything to go smoothly. I booked my appointment, but the day before, my stylist, Rose, messaged me saying shes sick and didnt go to work. I didnt mind so I wished her a fast recovery and rescheduled for two weeks later. On the day of my rescheduled appointment, just before driving 30 miles to the salon, I messaged Rose countless times before my 5 pm appointment. No response. I drove to the salon with still no reply. While on the way, I called the salon to double-check. They couldnt find my name or appointment. I mentioned I rescheduled with Rose, and they said theyd double-check and call me back. Keep in mind, Im on my way, an hours drive. I never got a call back, despite calling twice. Meanwhile, I received a message from Rose at 4:15 pm saying, Did the salon not tell you? Im sick again... I was about to arrive at the salon at 4:25 pm. I turned around and went home. Later, the salon called, asking if I was there for my 5:10 pm appointment. To keep this short, the salon is very disorganized, lacks responsibility. Im disappointed. I canceled my appointment, but they wanted me to reschedule again! Crazy. I declined. Anyways, I hope this serves as a warning. It might be a misunderstanding, but honestly, Im a patient person, and I feel like I was taken advantage of.

Rebekah Gallardo I went to Bravo Salon looking for a shag-style haircut and wasn’t sure what to expect since it’s been hard to find someone who can do it right. Monique did a fantastic job and gave me exactly what I was hoping for. It’s one of the best haircuts I’ve had, and I’m really happy with the results. I’d definitely recommend her!

Liana A. Rose is awesome , she gave me a great blowout for a special event I had!!! Thank you Bravo Salon for awesome customer service as well!!

Lily Nguyen Brenton and Julie are the dynamic duo. They’ve never once failed my hair dreams. I appreciate how they always treated my hair with care and they don’t rush their work. You’ll leave here feeling so refreshed and your hair will look amazing!

Marie Priscilla “PRIIS” I recently visited Brenton Lee Studio for a much needed haircut and they were so awesome to booked me in on their fully scheduled day. I couldnt be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were professional and attentive, making sure to listen to exactly what I wanted. Lupita, in particular, was incredibly skilled and made great suggestions for my hair. The cut itself was FLAWLESS – I walked out feeling refreshed and confident. I loved how well they took the time to customize the style to suit my face shape and hair texture. Highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for top-notch service and a fantastic haircut!

Tina Garcia Brenton is an expert! Hes been done my hair for years now and Im always beyond happy with his work. Im always getting compliments on my color, literally stopped on the street by women asking where I get my hair done. I could not give him a higher recommendation. He is also a great teacher and mentor, his stylists learn his meticulous technique and Id trust any of them with my hair.

Nazanin Azarm I absolutely do not recommend this place. Recently, I got a bleach and hair color service done here. At first, they turned my hair into a greenish-gray tone, but after a few washes, my hair turned yellow. They completely damaged my hair. What surprised me the most was that my hair was already colored and highlighted, yet they directly applied bleach to my entire head instead of sectioning off the parts that needed highlighting. Applying bleach like this directly on already-colored and highlighted hair burned all of my hair. Even my scalp got damaged. When I messaged them to address this issue, they completely ignored me. All they did was apply the same hair mask that everyone uses, which didn’t help at all. My hair is severely damaged, including my scalp. On top of all this, they charged me a lot of money. When I tried to follow up with them to ask why this happened, they didn’t even bother to respond to my messages. I do not recommend this place at all, especially for hair coloring services.

Lydia Vasquez I have trusted Brenton Lee with my naturally curly hair for years, and he never disappoints! Finding a stylist who truly understands curls can be a challenge, but Brenton’s expertise, attention to detail, and ability to listen to my needs make every visit a great experience. Whether it’s color, cut, or style, he always exceeds my expectations. His professionalism and personable nature create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for someone who knows how to work with curly hair and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Brenton Lee Hair Salon!

Maria Peralta Yuriy did an amazing job! They took me last min, and yet didn’t rush to give me a fresh amazing new look! He explained everything he was going to do to my hair, and went through some steps I should do at home. I’m obsessed with my hair and can’t wait to get more services here, of course once my hair is healthy enough… thank you so much for such great service!!!

Steve Altonian I call to get a haircut & I say a minor cuss word & YURI asks me. not to cuss...I corrected him & said you will never do that...I asked for a haircut not to tell me how I should speak in every day conversation...You would never listen to a customer because you tried to control a potential customer...Totally uncool, you have no right to tell anyone how to speak...I will pass....

Jacqueline Always have a great experience here, from the first touch point to the end. I’ve only had my haircuts and blowouts here, so I can’t speak to any other services, but I’ve seen some beautiful work coming out of this salon.

Irene McGregor May 6th was a Monday, I thought I had made a appointment with Yuriy, I walked in 11:00 am, Edgar was giving Yuriy a haircut and it happened to be Yuriy day off, I drove all the way from the AV and my daughter was on here way from SD to get a haircut also with Yuriy, I was thinking what the heck happened, but Yuriy came through like a professional person who I have known since his Beverly Hills days at Juan Juan… This was a Mother’s Day treat for me and a treat for my daughter’s birthday from me. Anywho,… Yuriy gave me a beautiful blunt cut. Always satisfied with his precision cutting skills. I read about Edgar’s professional work in coloring and I wanted to brighten my hair from a salt and pepper to blonde highlights. This day was meant to happen for a reason , That’s what Yuriy kept telling me, as I kept apologizing for getting the date wrong. I love my haircut, I love my color. My daughter loves her hair cut. Thank you Yuriy and Edgar for a wonderful experience.

Eliot Galán Uriel always gives me a great cut. The place has a nice chill atmosphere. Very happy with the service.

Maria Leon Hope Excellent service, very happy with hair highlights and hair cut, will definitely come back. Very friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices.

Sandra z The staff members are friendly and, as a result, create a welcoming atmosphere. The inside of the establishment is a little small but aesthetically pleasing. They play music from an older generation, but its soothing and relaxing. The service itself was good. The stylist asked what I wanted and respected my needs. The conversation was good, and I really enjoyed how my hair turned out! I would recommend coming with plenty of time to spare because they attract many customers, which results in a longer wait time even with an appointment. Theres also limited parking, but theres plenty of street parking. All in all, Id recommend it. The establishment provides a personal and warm touch!

noemi diaz María Eugenia did a wonderful job every where I go people ask me where I had my hair done I love my new looks and still getting compliments about her i highly recommend this beauty salon

Diana Paola Went in for a simple hair and got it! Great price and great service.

Nicholes Torres Went to Heather for a blow out today. She did a perfect job! I have received my fair share of bad blow outs and it was so refreshing to have a professional that knew what she was doing. Not only did she do a great job but she was great to talk to. It was my first time here (traveling on business) and by the time I went to leave I felt like she was a friend. Heather is new and trying to build up her clientele, I strongly recommend giving her a shot for any hair service!

Audrey Cedeño Georgette is AMAZING!!! I had such bad luck with dying my hair due to its natural thick texture and waves. Georgette always keeps her colors natural looking and not over the top. She has the BEST conversations, manners, and personality. I plan on going to her again. Nothing but love for Union Salon and their employees.

Michelle McGreevy First time at Union Salon with Amy Chen. She is a class act. She really listened and then explained thoroughly what she would do and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I love the results and can’t wait to show it off.

Mary Fineman Saw Sonia in Suite 6. She is the greatest colorist in the world!!

Chuck You are on your own when you walk in there. Just browse around in there and try to find an available stylist who doesnt have an appt and maybe they can take you. Big difference between stylists too. Hope you get lucky...

Jill McNichols Just love Gene! So talented and intelligent. Been coming to you for the last 20 yrs !! And I have loved every cut!

Celeste Marie Sienna is extremely unprofessional. My whole experience with her was HORRIBLE! During my service she kept talking about a man that walks by her salon everyday we’re not teenagers. She sat on the couch on her phone and DoorDashed and gossiped with Athena the entire time!! I literally was tuning them out because I just wanted my hair done!!! She then left my hair so BLOTCHED! I feel so ugly I haven’t left the house at all. please look at the images they don’t lie and tell me that my “burgundy” if it’s even that is worth 200!! She refuses to fix my hair. THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURE I SHOWED HER! Please avoid the whole salon all together! Take your $$ to a good salon who loves to do hair, not just about the $$. Such a low vibrational salon, after my hair she didn’t even want to finish! She tried sending me out without even styling it!! It’s not my fault you did a horrible job and I don’t like my hair?? Athena came in with a smirk because I’m sure whatever she told her! These are like a group of high school mean girls it’s so ridiculous. Even after I paid her the $200 she ignored me and didn’t even say thank you!!! I was very patient & very kind but the business is HORRIBLE!!!! I contacted her 8 times before I even got her to say ANYTHING!! my hair is blotched horribly. Just stay clear!

Elin Mikaelian Absolutely overdue writing a review for LM! As someone who had a Drybar membership, I cannot stress how much better La Magie is. Nearly the same price ($60 blowout), easy to get an appointment, significantly better products - its a no brainer. Ive been coming to La Magie for a long while now, and they are absolutely consistent. Booking: Easy to book appointments online or texting Jay the owner Parking: Free street parking, paid lot in the back They have wifi, snacks, water/coffee/tea, a comfortable waiting area Most importantly, I trust a salon that uses Milbon products - especially because its impossible to buy from a store. Every single time Ive been here, in a good mood or bad, I just think "man this is what a perfect salon feels like" - which sounds like a sponsored review, but once you realize every single aspect is so well thought out, youll realize its true.

Michelle Wong Ive been going to La Magie to get my hair cut and colored by Claire for the past 3+ years. Claire is very professional and I love her style and honesty. Every time I come to get my hair done, she always provides me a honest opinion about what would be best for my hair type, maintenance and look. She doesnt take offense if you disagree with her or want a specific cut. I think thats where professionalism is really important because at the end of the day, both sides want to be happy and build a relationship of trust. The service here is amazing. Claire and her team always offer snacks, water and even mimosa to add to your relaxation. The hot towel after a wash is a bliss. Booking an appointment is easy because you can book on their website and choose the service you want.

Belen Tellez I went in recently for the first time and got the deep conditioning treatment done. Meilan did my hair and I wasnt sure how it was going to turn out, but I loved my hair at the end. My hair felt super soft and it had not been this soft in a very long time. The whole experience was very relaxing as well. Will come again to get the same treatment done.

Audrey Lewis Ive come to Claire twice now for both a spiral perm and a digital perm and have been very happy with both. Claire is a true expert and knows her craft in and out. She is very detailed oriented and tries to accomplish your vision for your hair. Very pleased with my digital perm and will most likely be getting these done in the future.

Xandra Correa Why I chose this salon: I looked at dozens of salons and their yelp pages as well as their website. This was the only higher end salon I found that I felt wasnt focusing on being trendy or hip. Some of the other salons were too overwhelming for me because Im someone who likes a calm and professional environment. I dont want to feel intimidated before I even get to the salon, lol. Idk if that makes sense, but this salon promoted the most professional business model. Trust me, Im kinda OCD so I did my RESEARCH. Booking: The way the website is set up makes it super easy to book an appointment. So streamlined. The atmosphere/experience: if its a busier time of the day, they will have an assistant shampoo you and give you a lovely head message. They offer loads of beverages and snacks. Super nice staff and just really aware of their clients needs. I saw a woman come in for coloring, and she was working on her laptop, and a staff member brought her a pillow so she could prop her laptop up. Little touches like that. Its very clear that the owner cares about acute thoughtful touches. The haircut/stylist: I can not express into words how grateful I am that I booked with Grace. Idk where to start! She is an extremely intelligent stylist and has applied critical thought to each cut Ive received. From listening to your needs and giving you feedback on what cut may work for you and why. From the moment I sat down and had a few minutes with her, I knew I was in good hands. I also love that she is kind but does not try to force a conversation. She is 100% focused on what she is doing. She is fast, too. Each time Ive gone, I was out in about 40 minutes and never in the slightest felt rushed. I am very grateful that I found a stylist that I feel safe getting any cut from. It made it easy to feel confident getting a short bob! 100% 10/10 experience.

Jasmine De la Cruz I havent booked an appointment in this location at the moment but plan to in the future. I have gotten my nails done plenty of time with @monchis.divine.nails when she was home based. The quality of her work was amazing. I really enjoyed how creative she was, any inspiration picture I would bring, she was able to recreate with no issue. I highly recommend going to get your nails done with her in her new place. Her suite number is 402.

Emma Barragan Just got a cut from Nico and it’s definitely one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. He’s extremely attentive and thorough and really did his best to understand what I wanted with my hair. He’s also really fun guy 10/10 would go again.

Jay Chow Willow & Glow Skincare by Melissa Schentrup - Melissa is your secret weapon when it comes great skin care. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about her craft and is able to get you on the right track to better skin. Having been on this journey since my teens, I’ve had experience with other estheticians & dermatologists but not many who take the time to educate the Melissa does.

Maria Fernandez-martinez I love how its possible to find all your beauty or just care needs here; from nails to facials, lashes, hair, and waxing it can be found at Salon Republic. As a Stylist renting a studio here I love it! Its a friendly community, open, but you can still have your privacy if you need it. I love how its possible to have access at all times, for late or early appointments, or even just setting up or preping for another day. I love the location too!

W R I received a shockingly bad haircut from Holly. She showed zero interest in listening to what I wanted and just did the cut she felt like showcasing on her Instagram. She also didnt ask my permission to be photographed and just shoved me into it. Its been months and my hair is still a mess but slowly improving as it grows and I add in my own layers. For $300, I dont expect to have to sign up for a hair cutting class from a different hairdresser and then end up having to do the cut myself. I would post the "after" photo I took of myself after I got home but Im still so humiliated by how badly it came out. I would give her 0 stars if I could. Edited to reply to owner: Thank you for the reply but Im 100% certain this is exactly the right place for this review. Your address and salon name are listed right on her scheduling page. This is where she cuts hair! Frankly, I dont really care about your convoluted business structure in which every stylist is an owner. I looked up Salon Republic Pasadenas reviews before I booked with her and if I had read a review like mine I would have avoided her. I want other people to read my review and make their own informed decisions before scheduling. I dont need to follow up with her directly because the damage is done. This review is to help others.

Janine Cortez I have trusted Marco with my hair for 13 years. I am also a hairstylist, so that says a lot about his skillset. He is a master of all cuts, but my personal favorites are his pixies (super hard to find a good pixie cutter) and fantastic bobs. He is also known for his exceptional BARBERING on all hair textures. His salon is beautiful and extremely clean, with a laid back, welcoming vibe. If you want to go to salon with talented, humble, hardworking people... Lead Salon is your place!

Krista Diaz Ive been going to Marco every 4-6 weeks for almost 10 years. He does the best hair color that compliments my eyes and skin (and covers my grays). His new salon is immaculate and airy. There is plenty of street parking. He works efficiently and attentively to get me in and out quickly. He is a local Pasadena treasure who gives back to the community and treats his staff with respect. I highly recommend Lead Salon to anyone who asks!!

Marlena S I went to see Marco via fiend recommendation. He decided to do all over ash bleach over my long hair. I have so far not recovered. Last time anyone damaged my hair to this level was when I lived in Eastern Europe. The bleach smelled so bad I was coughing from the smell. My hair was ruined. It took a lot of money and time to recover. He didnt own his mistake. He also didnt offer a refund. Service was conducted by Marco Delgado at salon he was right before opening this one - I received email about his new salon. So the review stands as it is for his work.

Margarita Khachatryan Marco’s cuts are so fantastic that I get compliments from other hair stylists who see my cut!

Lora Drogin Marco listened to my specific needs and gave me the perfect haircut. A friend is going to change from her present stylist and come to Marco’s salon based on seeing how well my cut lasts in the heat and sunshine.

Lauren H I had an amazing experience with my hair and makeup stylist Jenny. I needed my hair and makeup done for my engagement photos, and Jenny gave me the perfect look for my outfit. It was so easy to book with them and their prices are very fair for what you receive. I flew in to LA and am getting married in Austin, otherwise I would have totally hired Jenny for my day-of hair and makeup.

Candie S Brown Kelly is amazing! Shes so kind and welcoming and is very upfront about everything. I went to her for my brows and I couldnt be happier! I wake up at 5am everyday so anything to help me shave off some getting ready time helps. With my new brows I save so much time not having to draw them out and theyre perfect every morning! The procedure is pretty straight forward and Kelly is really good at checking in on you to see how youre doing throughout. I wouldnt say its painless, but its not painFUL if that makes any sense. Anyhow, its worth the investment to get quality service and the perfect shape for your face!

Stephanie Lai This review is specifically for Kelly Zhangs hair and makeup services for my wedding. I wanted to give Vianne a huge thank you for doing my hair and makeup on my wedding day! During my hair and makeup trial, Vianne took the time to analyze my face shape and skin texture to provide the best recommendations on what would look best on my hair and face. We did my hair and makeup trial at the Studio K Hair Designory studio and it was very clean. I had to take engagement shoot pictures in the rain after my hair and makeup trial, and my makeup stayed put the entire time in the rain! On my wedding day, Vianne and the other makeup artist (Madison) were so patient and professional with the entire wedding party. They even provided a touch up kit for us and explained how to use each product. My hair and makeup stayed put the entire evening. Truly grateful for Vianne for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day! Lastly, I wanted to also give a shout out to Caroline who I was in contact throughout the whole hiring process. Caroline made sure all my questions were answered, and ensured all the little details leading up to the wedding were in order. The team is awesome, and I would definitely recommend Kelly Zhang Studio!

Whitney Belle Blaine I had the best experience at this salon. I had my eyebrows microbladed by Kelly and they look amazing! She is an artist and a perfectionist. She takes her time to make sure you are completely happy with the shape,before she begins. Shes very gentle and explains the whole process every step of the way. She is always checking on you to make sure youre okay and comfortable. She provides excellent service and is very skilled at what she does. I also had my hair colored by a stylist there afterwards, I cant remember her name, it was unusual... Anyway, excellent job and service! I live in Santa Barbara, but its worth the drive. Love this place!

Emily Watts My brows by Kelly have been the best investment Ive ever made in my appearance. Saves me so much time everyday because I feel put together even without any makeup. Its a dream! My entire daily makeup routine now consists of a tinted sunscreen, and Im out the door! Kellys perfectly-shaped brows will frame your face so you look bright and awake without any other make-up. (I got the combo: shading and micro-blading)

Elsa Lopez-McLeod Was greeted warmly and punctually by staff at Bakaos. I had all my questions and concerns addressed and left feeling and looking like a million dollars . I was in the hands of very competent stylists

Deborah Ramirez Farrah has been cutting my long hair for two years now (and she also cuts my brother’s hair)! I am always impressed with her attention to detail. Farrah asks the right questions to make sure she understands exactly the cut that I want, and she delivers excellent quality EVERY TIME. I recently did a big chop (10 inches) and I did not know exactly how I wanted to style my short hair. I asked for her opinion and she gave me her thoughts and we came up with ideas together! Honestly, that’s what I love about her the most—I trust her expertise and I appreciate when she considers my ideas too. I Love my long hair style and cut by Farrah, and I love my new short haircut!

Jennifer Goodwin Absolutely love love Hasblady and the entire staff at Bokaos. Exceptional service and products. Hasblady is a masterpiece with color and cut to your liking! One stop shop for a mani/pedi and facial. Great atmosphere and vibe to book a spa day!

Mills Dr. (Dr. Mills) The BEST Aveda salon ever! Excellent customer service, outstanding stylists, and lovely atmosphere, Bokaos Aveda is a wonderful establishment. Treat yourself to a magnificent experience by scheduling an appointment with Mitch, Aly, or Nicole today! You will LOVE it!

Alique Bedikian I can only speak for one of the stylists, Tawny, who I have been very happy with! I usually just get a trim and/or blow out and I always leave very satisfied. Plus, she’s super sweet and easy to talk to. The salon itself is clean and has very high ceilings (which I think is great because it feels spacious and doesn’t get stuffy). My only grievance would be the parking, which is a bit inconvenient… but worth it to get reliably good haircuts.
