Best hair salon in town! It is so nice and warm in there. Staff is very friendly and kind. I came in for a cut and blowout, and my hair came out AMAZING. I also asked for some face framing and layers and that's exactly what I got! Veka did an amazing job. I'm so happy with it! This is definitely my new spot for my weekly wash & blowout. read more

If I can give zero stars I would I just recently came across the owner on facebook so I felt compelled to come leave this review. I got my hair done here back in 2018 I was blond and wanted to go platinum instead of telling me that I needed to do it in sessions idk what the owner had told the Grl Vanessa to do but they left the bleach in my hair so long I had to tell them I think we should be rinsing it. Seemed fine at first but both of them together damaged my hair so bad that most of it broke off I had to do a major cut. My hair was sooo beautiful and think and it had never been the same again! They are not amateurs and they know what they were doing to my hair so that only leads me to think owner gets jealous of people and is evil. I said what I said you guys can all go to hell for messing up my hair. Master stylist is where? This business is trash read more

I went in for a blow out, trim and some curtain bangs. My hairdresser was Vanessa she amazing super sweet and offered me if I wanted to drink anything. I will definitely go back for highlights! The whole experience felt like a treat to myself. read more

Ashanti was the beautiful girl that helped me. I was very lucky to have her do my hair. I asked for a blowout & she did her thing .It was a very nice experience. Ashanti has great attitude toward her work. I would 100% recommend this Salon if you're in the search of getting your hair done. Definitely will be coming back I love this place !! read more

Amazing service. The stylist are very welcoming and understanding of a client's vision for their hair.

Veka is an amazing hairstylist, she has done baby highlights, balayage, and cut my hair and I have loved it every single time! Highly recommend the place is super nice and cozy. Ashanti gives great customer service and she's so attentive. they are amazing! read more

Hello this is Cyndi and I would like to respond to Linda F. Linda I appreciate your feedback. I apologize that you are unsatisfied. After doing your hair for about a year, you've had nothing but positive results and compliments, so obviously I am qualified. I would love to offer you deep conditioning treatment and toner to combat any unwanted shades. I wish you well and I hope good things go your way read more

If you want good color don't come here! Cyndi had been doing my highlights for almost a year and I came in to have her do my blonde highlights again. Instead of doing my usual color she died my hair brown. I was shocked. She told me she knew how to do a color correction so I came back. This time my hair came out a brassy red! I asked to see Dana instead but Cyndi said Dana didn't do color correction. So I came back for a final time. It took forever because after she had washed out my hair she could see it wasn't right and she started over again. Now my hair has an orange tinge and red streaks. This person is unqualified to do hair color and my hair has probably been damaged. The owner said there was nothing she could do so don't expect her to stand behind her salon. Stay away! read more

My stylist was Vanessa, I believed and omg I am soo in love with it. I asked for a medium cut with curtain bangs and to add some in the front and she did her thing. All staffs were wearing mask and social distancing. Would highly recommend. read more

downloaded yelp again specifically to applaud this salon! Unfortunately, I'm only here for work for a short period of time to not go all the time, but I STRONGLY recommend all the Cali locals to not sleep on the artistry Veka and (rising star) Kristin have as stylists. Not only did they go above and beyond with my hair, but they were charmingly welcoming and flexible for my tight schedule between travel and work. I've never seen so many foils go in my hair so quickly and turn out better than the picture I showed! Veka asked me my wants and desires, then talked me through the process and nailed it. They let me relax and vibe after a long day but were friendly with thoughtful conversation! They even gave a me a few recommendations of cool places to go while I'm in town (support your local places!). I can't thank these two enough for their patience and great work for taming my heat damaged, grown out, thick, curly hair and turning it into silky, shiny, blended blonde! read more

Ecstatic to say I prevailed in court and got all my money back and more plus court fees. Liars and con artists can't hide. The judge saw right through their lies. All of them from Veka to Ashanti to Ellises and even their stupid State Farm Insurance guy they brought in who was a joke. Couldn't even get their lies straight in court and under oath. Nothing they said made any sense. All of them standing there thinking the judge would rule in their favor. The judge didn't even want that mess of hair near him They call good quality hair which my cat plays with now. Thank you for my check. Cha Ching. This salon is a joke! read more

This is for Sophie, the nail technician here... I have been going to Sophie for over a year now. I've followed her from DTLA to Arcadia, because she is absolutely worth it. My nails are always flawless. I have never met a nail technician who is so delicate and thorough in all my 20something years of life. Sophie is sweet, funny and very passionate about the work she does. My nails are healthy, strong and beautiful ! Check out her IG and then go schedule an apt with her- you will not regret it!: @nail_space_bysophie. read more

I went to 1st Ave Salon to do my hair and makeup for my Wedding. First, making an appointment was easy and they were able to give me a quotation after sending some pictures of what I wanted. Their prices are SO reasonable!!! On the day of, Salina was able to meet me at 7 am in the salon and did my hair just as I had shown her in the picture. She also put the hair vine on the updo. After we were done with the hair she moved on to do the makeup. It was perfect as well! Not only was I really happy with how my hair and makeup looked that day, Salina really made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire time. She was so easy to talk to and to explain what I wanted!! Overall it was a 10/10 experience and I would recommend anyone to go to this salon. And if you're looking for updo and makeup, Salina is your girl! read more

Let me say that I have long hair, and it's actually very hard to find someone that can cut it in a manner that keeps the length yet adds volume , this is BEATRIZ's gift !!!! Call me antiquated but I like that old Kim Kardashian hair before the Kanye phase , it's just so sultry and sexy in my opinion. Besides giving you an amazing cut , omg the scalp and neck massage , will make your tears come out of pure bliss for lack of better words. BeatriZ cut my hair , and Veca blow dried it , I've attached a pic, of course with a major filter effect but you can totally see the hair . read more

I have been coming to First Avenue Salon consistently for the past year and I have to say my hair has never looked or felt more amazing! Even with all the coloring I love to do my hair stays so soft and healthy not to mention it has grown incredibly long since I started coming here. Everyone here is so sweet and helpful and the scalp massages you receive are to die for! Veka, Ashanti, and Beatriz are all so good I can't imagine going anywhere else! read more

Amy is a fantastic stylist for a men's haircut. I've had a few sessions before, and I love the results each time. The Salon is easy to find (1st Avenue - pretty easy!) and is very accommodating. I like the wash stations (they're very comfy and professional). And of course the music vibe is a bonus. I'll gladly come back every month or two to restyle. Thank you Amy! read more

I am proud to post a review about this salon. #1 - Continously looking to enhance the feel of this place. Everytime I come in here (twice a year) there's an upgrade, but its to indulge the client. #2 - Being a woman with thick (lots and lots) hair'd and long hair I do not feel I'm being overcharged. This brings comfort knowing I'm being charged fairly. #3 - Sitting in the chair and doing my own share of "people watching" the owner shows genuine kindness and concern to both clients and stylists. If youre looking for a place to call "My Salon".... You should try 1st Avenue Salon out. read more

I always wanted to have my hair red but it was too much work for me to keep retouching it. However Veka gave me the perfect haircut and color which I love so much because it's easy to keep up with my red. Not only did I love my hair color but she gave me the best Aveda products to keep my red hair shining! I being coming with her about four months and I would definitely recommend the ladies to stop by. Not only do they leave you looking like a model but the service is great!!! read more

This Review is for Elizabeth. She is AWESOME. Expert colorist and really takes the time to get to know what your lifestyle is like to give your the right ut and color. Location is good too. LOTS of street parking and there is a lot around the corner and across the street. read more

If I could I would have given this place no stars! And usually I NEVER give 1-star. That's how upset I am! THE SHORT VERSION: -Terrible service -Unprofessional -Confirm appt with someone that no longer even works there! THE LONG VERSION: Purchased a LivingSocial deal in May for waxing (thinking it was with my normal waxing lady; which turns out it wasn't). Three weeks ago, I called to make appointment for today. This Monday I received email from the salon confirming appointment and providing the name of the staff that would be providing the service. Arrive 15 minutes early for my appointment today. No one to greet me. When it was my appointment time, I had to approach one of the hairstylist to ask for the Desiree. Her response to me was: "Oh Desiree? She no longer works here." UM EXCUSE ME?! was what I thought to myself. The hairstylist said she'll go find out for me. 10 minutes later I am still left sitting in the front. Finally someone came out asking a group of us if we've been helped. So I told her about my situation and she says "Oh she no longer works here." She then proceeds to say that LivingSocial should have contacted those that purchase the deal to inform them that it's no longer valid. Fine, she did her part with notifying LivingSocial. But what about me, the customer?! The salon should have told me at the time of booking that the person/service is no longer being offered. Instead they booked me and even send out a confirmation email asking me to confirm my appointment. Made me drive all the way out there to just sit in the lobby area. The salon made the appointment with me, not LivingSocial. This salon is completely unprofessional! read more

It should have been a 5-star rating but because the Info on yelp was inaccurate and the owner failed to communicate the open location, it was a very inconvenient experience. My 5 y/o daughter needed her first haircut and she was treated like a princess. My daughter had a very curly long hair. I love the location, friendly staff and great hair products. They carry bumble and bumble products which was a plus. read more

Vanessa came to Temple City High School on June 6th to help with the TCHS American Cancer Society Youth Club's hair drive for Pantene Beautiful Lengths. The club contacted Lassio Salon the day before the event because the club had last minute complications and needed more hair stylists. When the club called, they first talked to Lauren, who was able help the club find stylists to volunteer their time with such a short notice. The club really appreciates it. Vanessa did a wonderful job, perfecting every single one of her cuts, leaving the donors very happy. She is very kind and friendly. Thank you Vanessa! You're amazing! read more

Love this place! I've been to this salon 3 times now and each time I have had a wonderful experience. Beatrice was my hair stylist today and she made me feel so pampered. I love how they include a scalp massage and the most amazing wash with every hair cut. I used to be all about the $25 hair cuts at other salons but I am so grateful I can treat myself every few months with a visit to this salon especially now that I have a newborn. My hair always feels light and fresh after my appointments here. read more

This was my first time at this 1st Avenue Salon. I must say I do like the Monrovia location better than this location for a couple of reasons: - This one does not have it's own lot? I ended up having to park across the street. - It's a bit more busy - I prefer the quietness of the Monrovia location. - The skylight here leaves sun in my face whereas the other one did not. - Due to the fact there are two locations, there ended up being some mix up with my appointment almost getting transferred over to another stylist? Luckily I called to move up my appointment and I was reunited with Mary as I should have been. Other than that still the same great service and great hair that leaves you with compliments of "Oooh girl," for days on end. The wine and treats are great as well - and if your'e hungry there's a lot of food in the surrounding area. Mary always does a great job on my hair! She works at this location most days! read more

Love this place all salon artist are super amazing! This time my hair was colored and cut by Ashanti!
