    Love it!
    Olivia M.

    Veka has changed my life! I was going through a really hard time in my life and needed a feel good boost to cheer me up! She got it right on! I get compliments daily on my hair color and cut, and I'm actually turning heads which its been a very long time since that's happened! I feel she has matched the right hair color/tone to my skin color which many stylists don't have the vision to do. Her blowout are just as amazing. She is super easy to talk to, I told her she should charge me a therapy session to my bill!

    We get our hair done by Veka at First Avenue Salon

    Great customer service. Veka is a great listener. She really tried to understand what you want before starting the process. I come here regularly for touch ups with my color, as well as cuts and hair product. My hair has never looked better!

    I'm still coming here many years later :)…read more Sammi has become my go-to hair stylist for my hair cutting and dying needs. I love that she can tailor my hair color based on my hair profile and previous history with coloring, so I've been very pleased with how the color always comes out and I usually get compliments after my hair is done. Glad to report her work is still great and pricing is very reasonable many years later! Parking is also super easy in the lot and convenient to get in and out of. It's in a huge shared plaza with places like Trader Joe's if you want to get errands done while you're out here.

    Sammi is awesome! I'm so glad I found her and so happy to have her as my hair pro for a decade…read more Unless I move out of state or something, she's stuck with me. If you want coloring, Sammi does amazing work (see pics from the other clients). If you want a really good haircut, make Sammi your person. We were just talking the other day how it's so hard now-a-day to get a great haircut. There's so much that goes into it...I always learn something from Sammi (that's my bonus) When I got a full coloring job done a while back, at least 7 yrs back! when I decided I needed to stop box coloring on my own Sammi was the person who recommended me to "go cool" with my color choice. I had a warm red (like a maroon but more red than brown) anywho, so happy with this cool tone we've been keeping since.

I've done traditional highlights, haircuts, balayage and cover grey and styling. The interior is modern and clean. They will offer you complimentary water, coffee, tea, and sparkling water. This salon is located in old town Monrovia off Myrtle and across the street from the public library. The stylists at this salon tend to take their time and let the coloring sit longer, which I have come to appreciate greatly. Except the first time when I went, I didn't know, that their services take longer and ended up running late to my event, which was stressful. Now I plan extra time when I go. I really only had one bad experience and the issue was addressed promptly and professionally by Judy, the owner. So all in all, a really good salon for the Monrovia/Arcadia/Duarte area.

    I'm a happy loyal customer since June 2019. It's been almost 2.5 years since I moved to LA from SF…read more I have to say that the quality of hair cut & perm you get here is amazing and consistent every single time which I feel very grateful for. I'm pretty picky about my hair, especially because I'm originally from Japan and I have a different hairstyle expectation that you usually cannot get at a U.S. hair salon. That's been said, if you have a typical Asian guy with hair traits like mine (thick & straight), I highly recommend you give it a try at this hidden gem in Monrovia. I cut my hair every 3-4 weeks, and I get a perm once a 3-4 months at Yumi's place. Yes, you read it right, I get a perm. I know getting men's perm is not common in the U.S, but the truth is it's such an undervalued thing here because permed hair is incredibly easy to manage, which is usually not the case for a typical thick straight Asian guy hair. Additionally, Yumi's place has very low covid risk as it's an individually owned salon, and the only person you meet in person is Yumi. She is very careful about maintaining covid sanitization and I feel safe each time I go there. If you have any questions regarding this review, hit me up and I'll happily answer you from my own experience. Happy 2022!

I let her take full reign of my hair because I just didn't know what type of style would look good for the type of hair I have along with the shape of my head. But now I can finally feel confident walking out the studio and genuinely say that I love the cut! Yumi is so sweet and awesome. She makes you feel comfortable and has such a great positive energy and I love that! Also, if you ever need or treat yourself to a scalp treatment, she offers it as well. It is uhh-mazing! So relaxing. Trust you have to try.

    I've come here for years for perm and cuts. Glad to see their business has grown.... But the…read morequality remains very high! Tina, the manager/owner, is still my go-to person but I saw the finished work of other stylists and they were good too. Definitely recommend this place -- one small thing: you may have to wait a while, even with appointment.

    So many red flags…read more If you have fine virgin hair, I strongly recommend avoiding a digital perm at this salon. My hair was past my waistline when I arrived. The stylist insisted it was far too long and said a significant cut was necessary. I trusted her professional judgment, expecting a healthy trim, but nearly half my hair was cut off. The haircut itself felt rushed and uneven, seemingly done to accommodate the perm rather than with care for overall shape or length. Midway through my appointment, a previous client returned visibly upset, saying her hair did not look permed. While I didn't hear every detail, it immediately raised concerns, concerns that ultimately became my own. Throughout the service, my stylist repeatedly emphasized that my hair was "too fine," that there weren't enough curlers for my hair, and that more hair needed to be cut. If she believed a digital perm would not work on my hair type, she should have been honest from the start and declined the service. The end result: my hair feels fried, is significantly shorter than expected, and shows no real signs of a perm. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this salon. Additional notes: * The smell of cigarettes from the staff smoking heavily fills the salon. I left with a headache, and the combination of cigarette smoke and perm chemicals was overwhelming. * Stylists spoke aggressively in another language, appearing to argue about my service, which felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. * If you discovered this salon through TikTok and were impressed by how attentive they appeared (offering water, snacks, etc.), be aware that this level of service is not consistent. Unless you appear to be a social media personality. Paying over $400 plus tip for this experience was deeply disappointing.

Be sure to bring in photos so he can take a look and be aware that the lighting can make your hair look like a slightly different color (ex: in sunlight, in direct light, fluorescent light etc).
