Thank you Gladys for my cute cut and color!
Sho G.

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!

Before! Streaky bright highlights up front, choppy layering

Great experience with Chelsea. My old balayage needed some toning. Chelsea really listened to what I wanted, was easy to talk to, and gave me a great cut and color. Would totally come back and recommend her. Nice little private parking lot, friendly receptionist, and cute building, too.

First time using these colors in my hair and I couldn't be happier.

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.

My Favorite hair designer Jerry Wang, no one of! This is my new hair style, it's amazing, isn't it?! What's more amazing is that he always knows what I want and what I'm suitable for. This hair salon is beautiful and comfortable too. Free Park, free Wifi, nice people and good service.

This is right after my cut, color and blow out with Savanna.

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!

I came here cause of a Groupon Deal but I found my hair stylist FINALLY! Jerry is so awesome and Hayley the assistant is wonderful. I absolutely love my haircut and color. You can definitely tell he has many years experience. Oh and can I say he's so awesome with the blow dryer! Talk about a blow out! WOW! Definitely coming back!!!! They took care of me and made me feel so beautiful!

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.

Jerry rocks!!!

I had a wonderful facial with Adriana this week. Very nice spa with a cozy atmosphere. Loved the way my skin felt when I left.

worst massage in town. no lie…read more at least for my experience. i brought my girlfriend here for a couple massage for her birthday. 90 minute couples massage. first five minutes was mild at best. we had to ask them to massage with a little bit more effort. shortly after it was pure sharp elbows, digging into our backs from the weight of their bodies, which overhang above. they use gravity and their elbows in an effort to avoid actually expanding effort or using their muscles at all. i don't know about you, but that's not a massage to me. shortly after i looked over to my side to notice that the man that was massaging, my girlfriend was sitting down on the bed lightly massaging her upper back with no more than a few fingers contact. there was no effort or work there. just sitting lounging doing the absolute minimum contact possible. this was almost the same for me however, my masseuse, also using only one hand, would pause for many seconds at a time before exerting some pressure then again another break of many seconds before pressure again. she was systematically conserving energy and then applying the minimum level of pressure from one hand only. after a couple warnings, she finally started to get that. i am not gonna leave us alone and she started massaging more correctly. then excuse the man who was pretending to massage my girlfriend and replaced him with a woman that was massaging me. then they sent one man to massage me who was lazy and barely doing anything so let him go when they sent him them yet. another one who is doing the same thing. at about 45 minutes i finally told him to leave me alone and just continue with my girlfriend. i don't know how it's possible that others aren't reporting this more often, but i cannot speak on what i do not know but what i do know is if you are sore, tired, and just looking for some muscle, relief and relaxation and you expect some discernible level of quality and effort than do not come here. these people do not care at all about giving you a good experience and i gave them multiple chances they are lazy and do not care about their customers at least not for my girlfriend and i if you doubt me at all, please read my other reviews. i'm very honest in my reviews and i take great care to be fair. and i write these to help others. it certainly doesn't provide me any benefit other than that. thank you for reading and feel free to contact me if you'd like more information

I've been to a lot of massage places. Some ghetto. Some luxurious. But rarely do I actually enjoy…read morethe massage. Until now. My sister introduced me to this place but several of my colleagues have also recommended Beautiful Day. I have fallen in love! An hour massage here is like HEAVEN! From the moment you walk in, Dustin or Jason will happily greet you, have you fill out a quick form to circle all the spots you want focus on, and then they walk you to your massage location. I've had two different gals massage me and both are exceptional! I have zero complaints! Pressure was amazing, pacing was great, technique was perfect. I just love it. I took my mom today and she usually is like "meh" after a massage but after coming here, she could not stop praising them! It helped her sciatica so much! She said all the tension in her leg and head were gone! It's a small place but it's so clean, so welcoming, and so professional! The only thing I will mention is you need to leave early so you don't get caught up in Pasadena traffic. There is a parking structure nearby that has dedicated spots for Beautiful Day and it's like a 2-minute walk. I will be taking my mom and sister back here often. Thank you, guys!

The front desk staff were understanding and indicated they would let it slide, which I appreciated, as I have not visited your establishment in quite some time. However, I recently noticed an additional $20 charge on my credit card for the double booking. While policies are in place, this is excessive given the circumstances. I'm willing to accept the charge, but I must express my disagreement. I am never going back to your business. To be clear, I was a generous tipper for your staff during my visit, yet that seems to have had no bearing on my overall experience. This has led me to reconsider my loyalty to your business. Numerous alternatives offer similar services, and their customer service is worth considering. You may have lost a long-term customer due to this incident. I hope you take this feedback seriously. Is your business really that desperate for $20?

I am finally admitting that their is no place with greater consistency and breadth of treatments…read morethan Burke Williams and I drive monthly from Las Vegas; currently on a six month program for the ULTRAfusion facial backed up by at-home H2V skincare, (the BW skincare brand). I made the mistake of needing to depart after the treatment and moving forward I will allow ample time to enjoy the facilities. I am a fan of the shower amenities, the jacuzzi and sauna, the quiet room, the delicious tea and healthy snacks. The ULTRAfusion facial has transformed my skin and at 71 I was due for some transforming! I had had damaging deep laser treatments at other facilities and it was simply damaging my skin, not helping it. I kept thinking that stronger is better and I was wrong! I can honestly say that I don't recall when my skin has looked better. It is my goal to visit all the Southern CA locations; next stop is Sherman Oaks...see you there!

While the facilities could use some updating, I've generally had positive experiences. Unfortunately, my experience when ending my membership left a very different impression. I canceled while I still had a credit available, assuming I could simply use it later. What I didn't realize is that once you cancel your membership, you immediately lose the member pricing even for credits you've already paid for. On top of that, the credit expires sooner than I expected. When I recently called to schedule my massage, I was told my credit had already expired. After being a loyal customer for many years, I was disappointed that no exception or courtesy credit was offered. A little goodwill toward a long-time member would have gone a long way. My advice to anyone considering canceling: use all of your credits before you end your membership. Otherwise, you may lose the member value you've already paid for. Sadly, this experience has left a sour impression, and I won't be returning.

Chuan Spa has become my go-to place for an extra treat. I have an autoimmune disease/chronic pain,…read moreso I get a 90-minute massage every other week at Massage Envy--which is a better price point for regular treatments. I've had probably 1,000 massages in my 43 years of life. But after seeing her twice now I can honestly say that Jenae (Jenay?) is the best masseuse I have ever had. Hands down. And I've had some really good massages. My regular guy is amazing. But she is life-changing!! I just wish I could afford to come here more regularly to see her. This last time I had a 90-minute massage with her and it was epic. Perfect combination of therapeutic/working out tightness and relaxation. Every single movement of hers is purposeful and exactly what I needed. In general, I actually prefer the amenities at Burke Williams (Pasadena) better--and it's not as expensive. But I will continue to come here exclusively as long as Jenae is here! I hope you do whatever it takes to make sure you hang on to her!

I showed up a half an hour early so that I could go and enjoy the sauna and the hot tub and just really get into a fully relaxed state of mind before I went and I had my aromatherapy massage. I do not typically get massages, but I wanted to go and treat myself since I have been stressed lately and was on vacation. It's very serene inside and quiet and everybody is so nice and helpful. My massage was amazing and I felt so relaxed. After afterwards I came back to my room and napped for two hours. This is something that I never really gonna do so it was so worth it. Once my massage was over too they take you into this relaxation lounge and they gave me Me a cup of hibiscus tea and a macaron and there were snacks and more waters and all around. It's just a really great place to go and sit and relax and unwind.
