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.

Carolina is very skilled at what she does, gives thoughtful and insightful advice on hair styling and care, and is overall just a joy to chat with. I've had hairdressers complain about my hair being too thick or long or fussy, but she had zero complaints, and I really appreciated that! Her studio is so clean and cute, too, and is just one of many studios/businesses located in the Sola Salon building. Her studio is conveniently located right by the entrance, so it's hard to miss. Booking is easy online. She gets super busy, so you might have to book a few weeks in advance. That's just how great she is at what she does. Definitely coming back in a few months for another cut! Highly recommend giving her a shot!

Soooo, let me start off by saying that I get anxious when getting hair cuts because I've worked…read morereally hard to grow my hair long. I had to id a new hair dresser (bc I moved) and was so nervous since my previous hair dresser was so wonderful. Carolina was super friendly and welcoming. This was my first time meeting her and she took her time to discuss my hair goals. I shared that my goal is to preserve length but also to maintain its health. I opted for a blunt cut with face framing layers, and she D E L I V E R E D!!! She trimmed the perfect amount and did not leave it short at all. It was the perfect refresh! And, her scalp scrub was 10 out of 10! I've gotten wash & blowouts at other salons, and my scalp will still feel dirty. But, not with Carolina! My scalp felt super clean and she hit some pressure points. The blowout was super pretty. I also talked to her about some minor greys I have and asked about her root touch ups since I was doing them previously. She was so honest and said she didn't recommend it. Instead, she recommended a hair product for cover up from the Style Edit (which she is not sponsored by, does not have a partnership with, & does not sell at her salon. I purchased through Amazon without her giving me a direct link) I've been using that and I'm obsessed! I got to save my coin and I appreciated her honesty. I also asked about glosses (which she happily does) and she recommended continuing my in-shower glossing at home to keep my hair healthy. Carolina's integrity shines. I will keep coming & report back.

He answers the phone almost immediately every time I call, always texts to confirm appointments, and somehow manages to make time for me even when his schedule is completely full. This last visit meant more to me than he probably knows. I had just been laid off from my job and had an important interview the next day. I felt overwhelmed and stressed and knew I needed a haircut to feel even a little more confident going into it. Even though Leo was fully booked for days, he offered to see me two and a half hours after his normal closing time. After a long day of work, he still welcomed me with kindness, patience, and warmth and took incredible care of me without ever making me feel rushed or like an inconvenience. When I went to pay at the end of the appointment, Leo stopped me and told me he was taking care of my haircut because of what I was going through. That moment genuinely brought me to tears. In a time when I was feeling really low, his generosity and compassion meant everything to me. Leo is not only an incredibly talented stylist, but a genuinely good human being. Acts of kindness like this are rare and unforgettable. I will always be thankful for him and could not recommend him more highly.

Last weekend I had Melinda do the Brazilian Blowout on my hair. My hair is naturally curly, coarse, thick and very frizzy. It usually takes a professional, like Melinda, over 45 minutes to blow it out, who has been doing my hair for over 15 years now! I had many concerns and reservations about having this process applied to my hair, but after careful research and Melinda's knowledge and certification for use of the product, I was confident this was the perfect procedure for my type of hair. Also, my hair is color treated and highlighted. This product does not damage processed hair. In fact, it does the opposite! My hair is soft, shiny and most of all, not frizzy! YAY! If there's one thing I hate about my curly hair is the amount of time it takes for me to blow it out. I live near the beach which makes my hair an even bigger challenge, but not anymore! I love this product! The amount of time it saves me is well worth every penny! I highly recommend the Brazilian Blowout! read more

Melinda Douglas...if you haven't had your hair done by her then you haven't had your hair done by an Angel. I have not been to a salon in over 20 years, needless to say I was a little skeptical and scared. But from the moment I walked into the Salon De Jeunesse Melinda made me feel comfortable and like I belonged. What a fabulous experience, and my hair...love it!!! Love everything about it, the color, the cut, everything. If your looking for an Angel to work miracles on your hair just give her a call...Melinda Douglas 760-684-0696. read more

First I want to speak on her salon and her as a stylist -…read morebut then I will leave my comments addressing these cyclists that are trying to ruin a small woman owned business, because they are being called out for being disrespectful to an entire community of people. Lien is the best stylist I've ever been to. Her expertise is unmatched and the way she makes me feel when I'm there is like I'm in my own personal spa. I have a disability and Lien is nothing but accommodating and always checks in to make sure I'm ok. Not to mention - every stylist I've always seen, seems to take hours and hours to do my hair. Which if you know, you know is the part that keeps you from making your next appointment. But Lien does her work magically and in a timely manner. She makes me feel like a new woman each time I leave there, without taking my entire day to do it. Thank you Lien for all your exceptional service!! Secondly, I'd like to address the FALSE reviews these cyclists have been leaving on her page. I've lived in the area for 36 years. The groups of cyclists from when I was a little girl were so respectful and added to the community. This new wave of cyclists are absolutely unhinged. If the cyclists groups had a Yelp - you'd see hundreds, if not thousands of fellow citizens leaving them one stars. This would be community members from South Pas, Pasadena, and ESPECIALLY Sierra Madre. They leave their bikes everywhere, they take over any and every space they are trying to occupy and are rude beyond belief. They've taken what is their hobby and are using it to try and ruin what someone does for a living. Lien and other businesses have asked them to stop blocking their business doors resting all their bikes on them. Apparently this is too big of an ask for them. The photos below were taken on a Saturday at 8:30am and this was just the FIRST of many bikes to be stacked blocking her business. Find a new city to bike in, or stop harassing women who are running their businesses and supporting their family. This is your hobby, but this is her career. Also - please remember that these men are NOT customers of the salon, but are instead making it hard for actual customers to get inside the business.
