I came here for the first time for a haircut. Was very happy with my stylist, Hayk. He was professional, precise and hip! Confident and skilled in what he does and communicates well with his clients. I highly recommend him! O, and I don't like waiting so I was glad to be seated on time and was done in 30 minutes! read more

Gladys is THE BEST!!! If you're looking for a haircut look no further, she is a perfectionist. She LISTENS to what you want and delivers. I am super nit picky on my hair and don't trust anyone. This is the first time coming here and I will keep on coming back! She's amazing . Honestly, the best cut I've ever gotten. Also did a feel condition and it did wonders for my hair. read more

I bought a groupon voucher for haircut & deep conditioning. I saw reviews of many people mentioning Gladys is amazing. So, I made an appointment for saturday, and asked if I can have gladys and they said she'll not be there? when I came in on saturday I saw her calling client? I'm not sure abt whats up with that. I had Ursula to give me a haircut. She's very nice and friendly. I asked for an oval layered cut , and I also showed her a picture. So, it started with a wash , then she started cutting my bangs, and I rlly loved it! She started cutting my hair, after 10 minutes she was done and she started drying my hair to "see the shape"and so I wasn't happy because It wasn't like the pic i showed her, the front edges was wisping outwards.. which I had never experience ever in a haifcut. And so she said, she was not done styling and layering it . Okay. And so she kept blowdrying my hair for a good 20 minutes... trying to bring the edges of my hair inwards.... my hair was super dry and she just kept on pulling it with the round brush and hot hairdryer.. Perhaps trying to actually fix the layers with the scissors would've been better? shes finally done with blowdrying & tried to fix it again, instead my hair just went shorter, when the front of my hair is still wisping outwards , she mentioned "I tried but your hair is just sooo stubborn"(I don't think blaming the customer's hair is what hairstylists would do?) and then suddenly cut my bangs... again... the first cut looked good and it turned into a disaster. Then again with the blowdrying even when my hair is clearlyy dry as a dessert... she tried to blowdry it so it would go inwards.. I appreciate her giving the effort although, it was a 20 minut of pulling and hurting already thinning hair and scalp... I felt bad, I was taking too much time bcs she was trying to squeeze in my friend for a haircut too since she had a 2pm appointment. So, I just left it like that. The receptionist was nice enough to tell me , If I don't like it I can make changes , but my hair was extremely short enough, and I don't think theres any fixing that can be done. I am writing this review not really to complaint or blame anyone but Just sharing my experience. Other than that the salon is very clean and comfortable, great friendly staff, its just that I was very sad I'm not lucky enough to come out satusfied with pretty hair. read more

I found 1202 Salon and Spa through Groupon. It was $58 for a cut and single hair color, which I thought was a really great deal. I chose Gladys because she had great reviews on Groupon, and I'm sure glad I did. I am very particular about my hair and have been going to the same amazing hair dresser for the past 4 years. Recently she's been too busy to squeeze me in, so after a year passed with no hair cut, I decided it was time to find someone new. The overall experience was really delightful. The Salon has a dedicated parking lot which is great. I arrived a few minutes late to my appointment and waited less than 5 mins before Gladys greeted me and brought me to her station. She asked me what I had in mind, and I had prepared a few pictures. I'm the type of person that rarely takes the time to style my hair (I'm an air-dry type of girl 360 days of the year), so I mentioned that to Gladys as well. What I really enjoyed about Gladys was she listened to my requests, but also made recommendations for what was best for me, my face shape, and how much effort I put into my daily hair routine. She's an expert in hair, and I loved her recommendations. I wanted to get my hair colored b/c I'm in my mid-30s and started to get some greys. Gladys recommended I try the gloss instead -- it looks beautiful, and blended much more naturally with my hair. After the color, she took me to the shampooing station where she gave a great head massage in addition to the shampoo and condition. Then it was the haircut. In the end, I loved my hair cut. It was nothing fancy, just trimmed off 3 inches and gave me long layers, but it was cute. She blowdried it and styled it for me, but asked me if she could also curl it. WHY YES, absolutely! I loved that she took the extra 10 minutes to curl my hair. Overall, the entire process took 2hr 15 mins. Gladys is an expert in her craft, really friendly, and overall it was an excellent experience. I'll definitely be going back! read more

I purchased a Groupon for a haircut, deep conditioning, blow dry, and style. I have to say I am more than satisfied and will definitely be returning to the hair stylist Gladys. The receptionist are very sweet, professional, and courteous both over the phone and in person. Scheduling was done easily over the phone and when I mentioned wanting to get in ASAP they were able to squeeze me in next day. My son who is 12 came into the salon with me and was able to have water, and enjoy some candy (they had Halloween candy) well he waited. Gladys was very courteous and offered advice for my hair issues I mentioned. I appreciated how she was not pushy with specific salon product sales and just gave me the information. She did and amazing hair cut of long layers as well as added the bangs I had been wanting. Cherry on top was her hair styling. read more

Chelsie is the best! I leave the salon every time satisfied! She is the queen of highlights!

It's been a week since I got my hair dyed. I found this place on Groupon and Freddy w/ Maria treated my hair. Freddy did my haircut and style. Maria assisted with the color treatment on my hair. Unfortunately, the color is already fading and you can see the unevenness of the color throughout the hair. I had told him from the beginning which color I wanted and what would be the cost since my hair had been dyed before. However, he insisted on starting to treat my hair instead of telling me the cost and number of times it would have to be processed. It was bleached twice, differently on my roots and at the body of my hair. Then it was colored twice after with a different red for the body and another red for the roots. It is saddening to say that I am very disappointed by it. This was my first time dying and bleaching my hair at a salon. I expected for the color to last longer considering it was bleached and colored twice. The cost was too much for a week's worth of color on my hair. Now, you can notice the color unevenness throughout my hair. Both, Freddy and Maria were very costumer service friendly. I wish the color on my hair would have lasted a bit longer for the price. After posting this review, the salon got in contact with me and offered a complimentary re-application hair dye. This time we went with a deeper tone. Maria did an excellent job of applying the color. read more

Amazing complex, great atmosphere with very welcoming workers. Hayk is hands down one of the best barbers i have been to! He accommodates my hectic work schedule and I receive compliments for my hair after every cut! Thank you Hayk read more

I went to 1202 salon and spa in pasadena today and was blown away by the amount of time and effort they put in making their customers feel welcome and comfortable. I had called ahead of time and made an appointment with Haley for cut and color. When I arrived she asked me if there was anything she could offer me so that I'd be more comfortable while working with my hair. She let me know her husband Jerry would be in charge of cutting my hair while she colored. Jerry was able to cut my hair in a small amount of time yet made it look like he had completely changed it. When Haley returned she started working on the color. Both her husband and Haley worked on my hair while asking every now and then if I was liking my new color. I didn't notice it much when they were coloring it and washing it but once they blow dried it I was left speechless by the array of colors used. Needless to say I left today a happy customer. Thank you so much Haley and Jerry for making my first experience in your salon a great one. read more

As a very satisfied customer, I have to leave a comment about my hair stylist - Yaling Hsieh, knowing that she doesn't promote herself out there as needed and it's actually doing a lot of people who are demanding and specific about their hair cuts a total disservice. I can go on and on about how great Yaling is and how creative and surprisingly talented..., but to keep this short and concise, I'll give you the gist of all you need to know for a good decision making. I have tried many good hair salons in the Pasadena area and also in San Francisco, including those celebrity frequented and highly rated salons with hefty pricing (I mean $150 for a simple short hair cut, and $290 for one tone color highlight is kinda pricy imo but as long as they are good people are willing to pay for the price), although they are good, but I always find myself a week or so as phase-in period before I stop nagging about some details; but with Yaling, this has never happened, it's always straight to the Happy Face. Being a picky customer who values a good hair cut for my profession, I cannot risk the chance to try & see. I come back to see her for my hairs even though I live in SF, she does good hair cuts, highlights, and products (she knows secrets to good products too), and the pricing - totally worth a trip! I don't want to bombard her with new customers but I feel she definitely deserves a praise! read more

I had come here before with a different stylist and had a not so great experience so I decided to try someone new. Savanna was amazing! Highly recommend her. She has great skill and listens to what you want and does a good job. I had pre-colored hair and wanted to look natural and not make crazy changes because I was getting married that week. She made sure my haircut was long enough to style and she gave me a natural look and suggested some natural tones and I loved it! My hair was perfect. I am going back to her! read more

Nice quiet location with good parking , very clean and very nice assistants but I am rating this salon w 1 star due to the ridiculous amount of time I was waiting for my scheduled appointments. If I didn't have had bought the prior Groupon promotion voucher for Freddy I would have walked out. Scheduled my consultation appointment and hair appointment both a week before. Consultation day = 20 mins waiting (asked if he was busy they said no this is just him) Actually hair appointment = 1 hour waiting Even tough I do love my hair cut there was no consideration for me as a customer. I came here for a relaxing day and ended up feeling the complete opposite. Will not be returning read more

Very disappointed. Went to get a haircut about a week ago with Lisa. I found a groupon which seemed like a good deal. I asked her to only trim my ends and maybe layer a bit. Made very clear I do not like my front hair short. She starts cutting and starts to cut a lot. Halfway through she says, " I know it looks like a lot but you'll love it" she cut a lot more hair then I'd asked and it looks so choppy. The layers aren't smooth and my front hair is way too short which is not flattering. I asked for a low maintenance hair cut because I am not someone who loves to spend a lot of time on their hair. I now have to blow dry my hair with a roll brush every time I wash it. I don't understand why when a client asks you to do it a certain way I end up with the exact opposite I had clearly stated. read more

I don't think people should come to this Salon & spa or recommending it to friends and family. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS SALON!!!! Have a horrible management and first called me in early morning to confirm appointment and then later call about evening cancel a day before appointment. NO RESPECT FOR CUSTOMER. Jerry Manager very rude and dispiteful and hypocritical. With my husband on the line. On Groupon stating Haircut, Deep Conditioning, Blow dry and style Salon (Jerry goes into stating we charge extra $25 for style) WTH! Its suppose to be included any style except updo. This Salon dosen't want customer from groupon don't post or advertise your service on groupon, because Merchant is suppose to be responsible for the care and quality of advertise service. Jerry calls all customer rude and they are the one with problem. When Jerry is the one with the problem who doesn't understand English or comprehen. Just because this is a Salon and Spa unprofessional i could get excellent customer service elsewhere. This lady needs to change her attitude and her demeanor which is distasteful before customer goes elsewhere Beware They rip off customer!!! read more

My daughter came across this groupon deal so we decided to try it out. It was a nice little place near old town Pasadena. They have their own parking that was a plus. So we had an appointment with Maria. Nice sweet lady very friendly and welcoming. I must say, she is by far the best stylist we had ever came across. Her cutting skill was amazing. I love when she only use scissors to cut your entire hair with no blade shaving. Her layering cuts were so naturally looking..not like some others so choppy. We didn't want her to cut too much, too short for layers and she was able to give us lots of nice natural layers and barely snip off too much of our precious hair. Now that's called skill and technique. I highly recommend her if you want nice natural layers, V-shape style, scissors used only, great service, accommodate to your time of conveniece, and helped us take some selfies (they have an area for u to do that..lol) she was well worth going to. I'm definitely going back to her for my next haircut. read more

After years of dealing with my curly, frizzy hair, lousy haircuts and colors I was referred to Trina Mor. When I met Trina she was friendly, great sense of humor and extremely knowledgeable. We talked thoroughly about my hair, what styles would look good with my facial structure and colors that would compliment me. I immediately knew I could trust Trina and I told her to go with what she thought would best suit me. When she was finished I wanted to cry...tears of joy. I had not felt so good about my hair and ultimately myself in years! My kids, my harshest critics, love my hair. I have been seeing Trina now for over 2 years and she never disappoints. I highly recommend to the many people who have complimented me about my hair. Trina is truly a fantastic stylist and colorist!!! read more

I called 1202 salon and got an appointment the same day with Fredy, the gods were definitely in my favor! I walked in with copper orange hair, and wanted a dark brown with grey ombré. I honestly don't know how he and his team did it but they gave me an almost perfect result while keeping the integrity of my hair! I could not have been happier with the results and the amount of time and effort they put into me. Even though we were there two hours after the salon closed, I never once felt rushed. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I would recommend this salon to anybody and everybody. These people love what they do and it definitely shows through their work! Thank you again so much Fredy and the two girls who helped him (I'm sorry I don't recall your names), it could not have been better! read more

My rating is not a reflection of the stylist who does my hair and my families... this is a review of the distastefulness the owner Sandra displays at her salon. She is rude, unprofessional and in a highly saturated business in the city of Pasadena; She should change her attitude before she finds herself in an empty salon! Please don't ask me to reach out to make it better after this review sits on your page. I will NOT return after Sandras representation of her business. Get it together lady and humble yourself! read more

I visited this location one time over six years ago b/c of a Groupon and the haircut was awful. Yes, six years ago, one time, but the salon keeps bugging me with their spam. Give them a fake name and address if you do visit or you'll be on a mailing list forever. read more

Salon was great, clean and friendly. I went in for a trim, but the stylist was able to fit me in for a color. The only thing i didn't like is it took over 3.5 hours to complete. I was 1 of about 3 or 4 people he was working on, and felt a little rushed. My cut was def shorter then I wanted, but it grows back. Not sure if I'll make it back, but it was a pleasant experience. Decently priced, just don't go on a Saturday. read more

I found this place through Groupon, for a package deal done by Fredy Arboleda. I didn't really have high expectations, because in my experience Groupon stylists aren't the greatest. They're usually upselling or making you feel uncomfortable, but Fredy was so professional and respectful. He's a true artist. I really wasn't expecting to find my new hair stylist, but I can't see myself going anywhere else. He knew exactly what color I wanted, and even though I was going much lighter than my light brown color, he knew he could achieve it without using any bleach. The haircut took maybe a couple minutes, so he's also your modern day Edward Scissorhands. I definitely recommend Fredy! The staff are also really friendly. read more

I . Love. Yaling !!!!!Shes the hairstylist I have been loyal for more than two years , and it is really hard to find a person I like. I have met TOO MANY hair stylists that either don't get what I am talking about and do my hair their way , or charge me too much . Yaling is none of that . I trust her so much that I always show her a picture or just throw her the direction I want her to do, and she always did the job perfectly. This time she dyed my hair with the two colors I asked , and it turned out so pretty and it's exactly what I want it to be!!!! She also dyed my purple hair last time , and it was pretty too ! Yaling is also funny and very cheerful, and she always have that positive energy that makes me feel happy and comfortable around with This salon is also beautiful and so clean , and the space and people there actually make me anticipate for my next haircut and hairdo ! Yaling's assistant Annie is also very attentive , and always bring my water or ice tea. Every time when my hair is done, other people who work in the salon always come and give me complements. They made me feel even prettier haha ! For the price and the service I get from Yaling and this salon, my experience every time is five star all the way ! read more

Very disappointed that they disrespected my time. First time tried service at this Salon after scheduled an appointment for 10:00 a.m. since last week. I arrived to the salon this morning 9:55 a.m. and checked-in with the girl at the front desk waited patiently until 10:10 a.m., I went up to the same girl who checked me in earlier and told her I want to re-checked-in just in case she forgot to call the hairstylist, named Glady. I waited patiently until 10:20 a.m. still no one call me in for haircut and shampoo services that I intended to purchase today. Extremely rude and no apologize for the mistake. To all brand new customers save your money because it is not worth your time nor your money. I have to rated this review in order for me to post my review, if I can I wanted to give ZERO STAR! read more

Had a really great first experience here, although I checked in under their old name Bottega so I didn't get see the first time client discounts until now, but regardless, Chelsea did an amazing job.

Being a new customer when I first visited the salon, I had intended to use my Groupon that day. But I loved Chelsea's work and made the decision to pay the full price, with the intention of saving the Groupon for another time. I completely forgot about the fine print of the Groupon that says it's for first-time customers only. No one from the salon mentioned this detail of the Groupon to me when I checked out, nor double-checked with me that I wanted to forgo using the Groupon (ever). I called in recently to make an appointment and the receptionist made me aware of the situation. This made me feel a bit duped. Given that this appointment was clearly made for the Groupon deal, I wish someone had mentioned to me that I wouldn't be able to use it in the future. A little disappointed with whatever got lost in translation. read more
