I hadn't done anything to my hair in about 2 plus years and let my gray roots come in. My hubby is…read moreretiring soon (he's my silver haired fox) so I decided to finally embrace my gray, too. The hair that Adriana had to deal with was "virgin" hair untouched by processing but very fine. I don't know anything about balayage (and that it works from the tips to the root, not vice-versa) so she helpfully showed me a few pics of gray highlighting and we were set to go. I love the ambience there; very chillax. This happened right between Thanksgiving and Christmas and you get burnt out on all the bouncy music everywhere you go. Luckily, I picked a very quiet establishment with just soft jazzy versions of the holiday stuff. The many live plants as decor really adds to the spa vibe. Make sure you keep your voices low so as not to disturb other patrons, many of whom are fellow Asians like me. I read on their website about the "Head Spa" that they do, which is kind of a 20/40/60 minute facial but for your scalp. Those chairs are so comfy you will, if you're not careful, fall asleep. Every major service (cut and highlights for me) will include a scalp massage. They block out the overhead lights and you feel like you're floating lying down. I might come back regularly for this alone. I recommend this place for people who have stress headaches. They say they use pure jojoba and help exfoliate your scalp. The total for a long hair cut was $94 and the cost of highlights was $325. You put down $100 deposit with your credit card when you make the appointment and they don't cash it until your service is complete. Make sure you're on time or early (I suggest at least 15 mins) or you will be charged 100% penalty. Parking is limited to behind Lake Ave in "Shoppers Lane." If they run out of spots you can also park at the Trader Joe's (west side of Lake) and just buy something there so you can get validated. It was pricey but well worth it. My stylist advised that I come in every few months for toner rinse to keep the highlights bright since the gray will just come in naturally after that. Don't be afraid to do it! Ask for Adriana.

I had straight across bangs when I walked in so it's not like I don't like bangs on me.

I had such a great experience with Reyka last time so I'm quite disappointed in my experience this time with Yuri. She was very kind but I don't think she asked enough questions throughout the process to know what I wanted. I know it's hard to get 100% exactly what you want unless the stylist can read your mind so I really don't mind it looking a little different. But, the photo I took as soon as I got in the car shows how she sent my bangs out the door... which... I have textured hair but I look like I got smacked by a tornado It was $120 for this :( I drove out from west LA because I really trusted this salon but I think... it's time to find a different one or try Reyka again :(

I would follow Jessica to Timbuktu, but thankfully she's only in Altadena. I have very difficult…read morehair to cut. In the past forty years I have only found two barbers/stylists that can cut my mop into something that is actually flattering (rather than making me look like a rodeo clown or a Italian mobster). One is no longer cutting hair since he was offered an executive position running a large styling products company (that shall remain nameless), and the other is Jessica. I found her at her last job about four years ago, but they were rather expensive and overly formal. I followed her to Salon Royal and it is a good match for her - casual, comfortable and very friendly. And I love the owner - she's a peach! I do not recommend you rely on a credit card - bring cash or a check. As with most small business they are struggling with the draconian rules of the credit card companies and it's just simpler to bring cash. I routinely bring by wife and baby in while I get the mop chopped. We drive over 20 miles because I will not risk my marriage over a bad haircut. Seriously - she's the best and Salon Royal is awesome. Period.

Jessica originally cut my husband's hair and I was apprehensive - was she going to cut and style…read morewomen's hair equally as well? The answer is a straight 'YES'. I had been going to a stylist in Sierra Madre for several years and the service was a good, but really expensive. Jessica is very professional, timely and creative. She always has a new idea for me. I use her to color, cut and style my hair. She even cuts my 2.5 year old daughter's hair. You are getting a lot of value when you have Jessica as your stylist. She'll remind you via a text when it's time to get a haircut, etc. (which has been great for both my husband and me). I can easily text her and get a response and appointment. For those who work, she'll meet you in the evening or on the weekends. This is a well kept secret ladies!

A good salon that has been in business for 16 years I think she said. She's worked there for 15. I look forward to returning. NB. Very reasonable pricing too. A generous tip was definitely called for.

She's the type of stylist that is honest and professional about what hairstyle will look good on you. She is truly talented.
