Best Salon in LA

by dangergirlred at Citysearch

Okay. I have been to the cream of the crop in Beverly Hills, and to various amazing hair salons in the Los Angeles area. But for some reason, this hidden gem in Pasadena is my absolute favorite salon. Maybe it was because they listened to exactly what I wanted, and executed it perfectly. Maybe it was because I got more compliments on my hair in the first 24 hours of leaving their salon then I've gotten in most of my adult life. Regardless, this place is amazing.

The two stylists I've had the pleasure of being styled by are Nadine and Andrew, for color and blow dry/style. Both of them are really great, and if one isn't available, well... you can pretty much depend on the salon to have amazing stylists in general. I'll be sticking to Nadine or Andrew, and as much as I would rather keep them my own little beauty secret, they deserve the recognition for being awesome.

I haven't tried any of the other salon services yet, and I'll surely update this review if/when I do, but I have the feeling that anything you get from this salon is going to be top notch. It was a blessing for me to have discovered this place!

• Pros: Talented stylists, great salon.
• Cons: None.

Great Cut, Great Stylist

by drBaek at Citysearch

Josephine really did a great job on my hair. She's the one to ask for. There really isn't much else to say other than to say that I was pleased with the cut she gave me. She was friendly and courteous the entire time and I never felt out of place.

• Pros: Real;y puts in the time and effort

Go JO!

I loved this salon since the minute I stepped foot in it!

The huge mirrors, the awesome environment, and the friendly faces everywhere... kinda surreal in LA huh? lol.

No I'm serious. I was invited to the salon by a girl named Josephine handing out cards and flyers in Pasadena. BC my hair hasn't been the pinnacle point of my pride, I decided to stroll in during my lunch break. (Make sure that you set up an appt bc they dont take walk ins.) She was prompt, and attentive to exactly what I wanted in a haircut. She even did a quick sketch for me to give me an idea of what it would look like! Pretty impressive if you ask me.

I've gotten ridiculous amounts of compliments from men and women... a little too much?? eh I can take it.

Anyways, bottom line is... Im GOING BACK. And I've found myself a REAL hairstylist.

Sorry Supercuts....

• Pros: Beautiful decor, lives up to its hype
• Cons: pricy but worth every penny and then some...
