After getting a balayage from Sophia! Amazing
Stefanie V.

Sophia is my faveeee!! she's done my color for the last couple of years and nevvvvvver disappoints!! The first few times she did my balayage and it turned out perfect after becoming obsessed with being a blonde, I asked her to give me an all over bleach and tone and it was exactly what I wanted. She took her time and patience to make sure that my hair was going to be exactly what I wanted, and that the tone was spot on! I've never been so blonde in my life, and she made it look perfect! I've received so many compliments on my hair color, can't wait to get my hair done again! It's also a huge plus that she's the sweetest, and talking to her while getting my hair done is the best! It's one thing to love the final product of your hair service, but when you find someone you connect with, it's an all over amazing experience!! 100% recommend Sophia!!!

I LOVE coming to this hair stylist for all my hair care needs. She's helped change my color, going from regular black to a subtle dark chocolate balayage with caramel lowlights, making it look still super natural and very pretty (thankfully just in time for graduation pictures). I love how she knows exactly what color and tone best fits my hair & is always able to deliver. She's also helped trim my dead ends and thinned out my hair to make it feel super light. Not only is she talented at what she does but she is also super sweet & gentle overall. I highly recommend! My go to hair stylist and colorist!! Thank you Sophia ~

Sophia is the best! I got my hair cut and colored by Sophia in June. This was my first time getting my hair colored and I asked for an ashy blonde balayage. She made the 5 hours go by so quickly and made me feel so comfortable with her bright personality! I highly recommended that you check her out!!!! She was also very professional. You will not be disappointed!!!!

Sophia is MY GIRL. Truly cannot put into words how talented she is. She transformed my hair exactly the way I wanted it, and is just an overall awesome human being. Won't go to anyone else for color! Highly, highly recommend

Balayage with cool brown (day of)
Linda H.

Highly recommend Sophia for all your coloring needs! I was really hesitant and nervous when getting my hair colored for the first time, but when I saw the results I was in love. I asked for a cool brown balayage that was subtle and Sophia delivered. She did exactly what I asked for and blended the colors so well! Sophia listened to all my requests and even took extra time to recommend me products for my newly colored hair and made sure the color was what I wanted. She is also very sweet and easy to be around! For someone who is so young, Sophia has the skills of a experienced hair colorist and stylist. It's been a few months since I've gotten my hair colored and people still compliment my balayage because of how well the colors were blended! You will NOT be disappointed with her.

I've been getting my hair dyed at Sophia's for over a year now, and I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair than this last year. She is highly skilled at blonding even the darkest and most effed up box dyed hair. Sophia will take genuine detailed care of you from the moment you walk in and walk out. I've gotten my hair dyed to blonde, then pink, and now blue! And there's barely any breakage in my hair so far, since she uses effective but gentle products that won't force you to cut it short every time you dye it. Seriously, she's good at what she does. Put your trust (and hair) in her hands and she will make you beautiful

Going from blonde back to my natural hair color
Sarah S.

The best thing about Sophia is she will not sacrifice the healthiness of your hair. You won't have crunchy blonde if you want to go blonde! She cares about her client's hair and will tell you exactly how many appointments needed to get you where you want to be, all while keeping your hair alive. She's knowledgeable and explains what she's doing. Sophia deals with a wide range of clients from college to mature hair so don't be afraid to ask her what you want and the cost! Just show her a picture of what you want and talk to her, she's real sweet. I went from virgin hair to blonde back to my original and my hair feels and grows the same. I come to her for all my hair colors and cuts :)

Yvonne L.

BEST!! I found her through IG and looked through all the photos she had of her clients and decided to try it out. Keep in mind, this was my first time actually going out and being bold with the color, and she definitely made me feel so happy with it. Sophia knew what she was doing and made sure you felt very comfortable! Definitely would go back to her again!

I've been coming to Sophia for almost a year now. I found out about her through a mutual friend who posted about her on ig and I love how her hair turned out! My overall goal was a ashy blonde and she really made sure we did it in a way that wouldn't damage my hair and I couldn't be happier. I've gotten so many complements even months after getting it done, I highly highly recommend her She's also SUCH a sweetheart so it's always a fun time when she does my hair

Bleach + platinum toner
Sebastian V.

GREAT SERVICE! I met Soph at Toni and Guy a few years ago and she has been my stylist since! She is friendly, energetic, and very talented at what she does. Every time I need platinum, she's the one! You the best :)

Hair done by Sophia
Joy Y.

Been getting my hair done by Sophia for years now. She gave me the blonde hair that I've always wanted. And recently she dyed my hair brown and I've been loving it too. If you're looking to get your hair done I highly recommend you get an appointment with Sophia.

Katherine C.

My ONLY hair stylist for over a year now. Absolutely love Sophia. She is really patient as well as adventurous with my hair. It took me a few sessions to get me the blonde I am today but we did it a steady pace so my hair would stay healthy. Her color melts are magical and is literally the best girl to make you blonde especially if you're Asian. She is really gentle and I also love the way she styles my hair after a few hours of coloring. She is also always recommending the best products to keep your color long lasting and your hair shiny. Absolutely recommend Sophia to EVERYONE!!

Thank you Sophia for my amazing hair
Gee L.

Thank you Sophia for making my hair look amazing once again. I'm usually really picky about my hair and who touches it, because when you ask someone to trim and then they cut more than what you asked for. But NOT Sophia she will cut style and make your hair look and feel amazing. Sophia is very genuine and sweet! Book her for your next hair appointment!!

I came to The Maya Salon for a last-minute trim. After calling several salons trying to get a last…read moreminute appointment, this was the only place that had an opening. Finding the salon was easy and there was parking right out front, which made it even better. I stay in South Pasadena on weekends at my boyfriend's house, so I decided to give it a try. EJ was incredibly kind and welcoming. I arrived a few minutes early while he was finishing with another client, and he saw me right at my appointment time. He also offered drinks and snacks, which I really appreciated because I definitely needed the caffeine boost that day. He washed my hair and gave me the trim I desperately needed, removing all my split ends while still keeping my hair long just like I asked. I'm always nervous about losing too much length, but he really listened and delivered exactly what I wanted. His station was also very cute and calming, with plants around the mirror and a dream catcher. I deal with anxiety, so I really appreciated his relaxing energy during the appointment. I usually get my trims done in Beverly Hills with my longtime stylist, and I was pleasantly surprised that the price here was about the same -- $120, which is pretty standard for a good trim in Beverly Hills as well. Since I happened to be in the area, I thought "why not?" and I'm really glad I did because it turned out to be such a pleasant experience.

When I first researched Yuri as a makeup/hair artist for my wedding I was kind of skeptical because…read moreall I knew about her was through her instagram and how beautiful she was, but the true challenge would be for her to make ME look beautiful too! I've had my make up done multiple times for weddings and such by other people but I was never satisfied. (Actually that's an understatement. I hated it haha) I did my trial with Yuri for my engagement shoot and I could not have been more happy! She's amazing! She really knows how to work with the features you got without over doing it, yet making you look fabulous in pictures. Her and her team of girls did hair and make up for me and my 5 bridesmaids for the wedding and everyone LOVED how they looked! That's hard to do with 6 picky girls! She sweet, she's real, she's accommodating, she's honest, and a perfectionist. Everything you would want in a hairstylist/ makeup artist. I would definitly recommend her and go back to her as my hairstylist!

Yuri did my makeup and hair the day of my wedding, and I LOVED it!…read more I've always been very hesitant about having people do my makeup and hair, as I'm, like most girls, very particular about the way my hair is parted, eyeliner is drawn, eyebrows are filled, etc. Yuri customized my makeup to my face and understood my preferences on color with minimal guidance. Even my mother, who is extremely difficult to please, complimented my makeup and hair. My makeup lasted all day and night and photographed extremely well. I would definitely recommend Yuri!

Vanilla assured me the first time I visited that it was not just a promotion for the grand opening and four months later, it's still true! The space is great and really well-lit. They have areas for manicures, pedicures, and I think even permanent jewelry. It's like a one-stop shop for self-care. I came in for a haircut and was offered a drink right away. Vanilla was awesome. I had an idea of what I wanted, and he was able to take that and give me a more elevated version of it. He definitely understood the assignment! I already got a lot of positive compliments on the new haircut. During the haircut, Vanilla took me over to the high-tech massage chairs. It was so nice laying there while getting my head massaged and shampooed; I think I actually fell asleep. I left feeling relaxed and recharged. It still feels too good to be true, but I was reassured that the massage and wine will always be complimentary. There were no extra charges. The salon also has their own parking lot, though I was able to park on the streets without any issues.

I also like that there are only two chairs there and it felt more personal and less factory like. And I know she will be doing my nails when I book. All in all a great experience. Highly recommended and will go back again.

She asked questions and listened to my likes at the beginning of our session, and she customized styling my hair based on my preferences. And for the first time ever, I actually liked how my hair was styled after my cut; I usually never do after a dry cut/curly cut because stylists usually put too heavy products in my hair which weighs it down. All to say, I had a great experience with Jessie. She gives wonderful, positive vibes; and I will be booking with her again in the future!

On 5/29/26, I dropped off my super curly haired teenager here so they could do some magic for $300…read more We showed photos of what he wanted. I told Melissa he's a high schooler and also needs a sustainable cut/style. I should have never walked away leaving my underage kid there. I was really counting on Melissa to figure out if the look he wanted was possible with his hair texture after she got in his hair. When my kiddo came out, he had a fro with undefined curls, I was shocked and I could tell that my son was not happy. He said he thought there would be further styling or cutting but that did not happen. My teen doesn't quite yet have his voice to speak up. Needless to say when we got home, he was in tears and he had to stay home instead of going to a dinner event. I called the salon the next day and spoke to Angie. I sent her the pictures of what he wanted and what he ended up with. She said they would find a solution immediately. However it's been over a week of text messages that have not been returned. None of my voice mails have been returned. I even walked in to the salon and Angie was out to lunch. I was told Nicole would call me back. That has not happened. I managed to talk to Angie and she promised she would talk to Nicole that day and get me a response. It's now been over 7 days and this has not been resolved. We walked away paying Melissa $345 including tip. And another $100 in products. Seems like we need a call back and definitely need a redo which they advertise as their policy if there is unsatisfactory service or a refund. I hope that if Melissa reads this or the owners, they might consider growing a conscience in the treatment we have received.
