I started getting my hair done with Sara about two years ago when I was a solid blonde and had previously had bad experiences with stylists at a different salon. I will never trust anyone but Sara with my hair now! She takes such good care of me and is very detail oriented. She's also great about communicating. My first appointment, I showed Sara inspiration pictures of dimensional blondes thinking it could be achieved, and Sara was honest that going from a solid blonde to the level of dimension I was looking for wouldn't be achieved after one session. She started by adding in lowlights each appointment and she also recommended waiting longer between appointments to help my natural growth create the dimension I wanted. I so appreciated her honesty in achieving my hair goals. Attaching a selfie from one of my recent appointments! read more

Jane Alea Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been seeing Sara here for the last few years and she is wonderful! I think her talent really shines when it comes to color. I have dark hair that I've been adding various amounts of blonde to for years and the color is always exactly what I want. I feel like the color is well placed and never brassy. I also love that she is very upfront about what cuts she thinks would look good on me. I've had everything from long hair to a bob and I've been very happy. I think Sara is a great collaborator and very sweet. read more

I was at a local coffee shop and saw a girl with the most beautiful caramel/brunette hair! I asked her who her stylist was, and it turned out to be Michael (who happened to be sitting across from her)! I immediately booked an appointment and I was so pleased with the level of professionalism, smooth communication, and the overall service. Michael has a distinctive eye for details! I trust his judgement! I leave his chair feeling confident and knowing that my hair looks good. I highly recommend booking with Michael! read more

Sara has the power of making you feel beautiful and has a charismatic personality that make you feel comfortable. While in the chair she will make you feel as the world has stopped and you become the most important person in the room. The wash station has become my personal favorite while at Jane Alea Salon. Sara provides a scalp massage like no other. This a moment to recognize her craft but most importantly applaud her knowledge. She is a master of color correction, a wizard at cutting hair, and a true professional. To sum, the salon is chic, uses top shelf products which are also available for purchase at customer request, parking is easy, and most importantly your appointment time is respected. Thank you Sara and Jane. read more

I can't recommend Sarah highly enough. She listens and also suggests things I would not have considered. I love the way she styles, cuts and does a perfect job on my blow out every time. read more

Great experience! Fast, welcoming, great results. Terrific visit. Great blow dry and curl. Will definitely come again!

I went in to see Sara for a cut to help address my postpartum hair loss. I didn't bring a photo or really have much guidance for her. I just asked her to do what she thought was best for my situation and I'm so happy I did! She gave me a great, fresh cut that's low maintenance and makes my hair look so much fuller. The salon itself was very nice- small and stylish. They have a lot behind the salon so parking is very easy. Definitely recommend! read more

I have been searching for a stylist who could live up to the very high standards set by my last one who retired during the pandemic, and I found her in Sara!

I'm thrilled to have found Sara and the Jane Alea Salon! read more

I dont remember the name of the girl who did my hair (sorry) but she did an amazing job with the cut and blow dry. She is very professional. She was ready for me at my appointment time (which is rare). I will definitely keep this place as my regular go to spot for future hair cuts. Hopefully after my second appointment I will remember the name of the girl who serviced me. Overall I am very happy with this salon. read more

I was having a hard time finding a hairstylist, but I think I found the one! I got my hair cut and styled by Sara today and I'm so happy with the result.

Jane Alea Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

I got my hair done about a month ago and after many many hours, I absolutely loved how the color turned out. It was exactly what I was looking for. Although there might have been a miscommunication on where I wanted the placement of the babylights, I appreciated Jane's prompt response in trying to fix it so I can be a happy customer. :) The kind of service and attentiveness to their customers is how all businesses should strive for! Jane went above and beyond! read more

*i did NOT get my hair done here* I'm giving 5 stars for the exceptional customer service I received from the salon owner, Jane. I sent photos in of my current hair, and inspiration pics, hoping for a quote. Jane was very knowledgeable and honest with her answers. She was thorough in her replies, and timely. I would definitely come here in the future for her services. read more

I have been twice now to have Sara cut and highlight my dark hair with blond highlights and I have to say she is a master with highlights. Her work has been by far the best highlights I've had and I really loved my most recent cut as well. She blends the highlights so amazingly well and takes her time to achieve your desired look. She was on time for both appointments and is super pleasant and sweet during your appointment. I will definitely continue to return to this salon! read more

Sara at Jane Alea Salon is an actual hair goddess and has quite literally transformed my hair over the course of a year. I went in and explained that my goal was to have stronger, healthier hair that can withstand the slightly lighter color I would like to accomplish by my wedding in June. Sara walked me through her suggestions, explain what would and would not work for my hair type, and has delivered during EACH appointment over the last year. Worth every penny to have someone take care of your hair and clearly explain the projected approach. read more

Jane is a superstar! I'm a major procrastinator in my personal life because I'm so busy at work but I meant to post a review forever ago!! Jane has been my hair artist for over 20 years. No matter what location she's been at I have followed. She is the absolute best!! I'm a dark brunette with lots of gray and I like blonde not gold and she nails it every time! I live out of state but find a way to have her do her magic to my hair as often as I can. Sometimes I stay longer to ensure I can get two beautiful works of art from her. Jane is an artist and as long as I've known her she even continues to go to classes to keep abreast of nuances in her business. If you knew me you'd know I wouldn't stay loyal to someone who I wasn't truly committed to. Kudos Jane!! I wish you were in Florida! I don't spoil myself much but good hair is important to me. Jane I am in awe! read more

I'm so glad I found Jane! After my previous stylist of many years had totally botched my color yet again, I decided to finally stop giving him second chances and look elsewhere. Jane came up on Yelp as a color correction specialist, so I reached out to make an appointment. Sensing my misery, Jane managed to squeeze me in even though she was busy and did a treatment to help de-saturate the existing color. Over the past several visits since, she's helped get my hair healthy again and to the strawberry blonde I've always wanted. Thank you, Jane! read more

This salon is absolutely amazing!! I found them via Instagram and immediately texted with Jane. She was very upfront about the cost and process to correct years and years of box dying my hair along with the damage of extensions. I'm about to introduce my parents to my boyfriend, and was in a pinch, so Jane graciously set up an appointment next day for me with Sarah. I've had terrible anxiety for years about going to a professional stylist after a really bad experience in the past, and was so impressed by how EASY it was to talk to Sarah and tell her exactly what I was hoping to achieve with my hair. I went in with the hopes of lightening the box dye, improving the shape of my haircut without cutting off too much length, and not using bleach to accomplish this. Sarah and Jane are an awesome team and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. We decided upon a color removal service which basically removes the darker dye molecules from the hair, and then we did a color touch up on the roots to conceal greys and blend everything. We didn't even dye all of my hair or have to use bleach which I thought was incredible!! My hair is definitely a work in progress, and I wasn't expecting miracles to happen, but I am absolutely impressed and have already set up my next appointment in a month. I had such a wonderful experience here and if you're reading this - you will too! read more

I love my weekly appointments at this stylish salon. Not only do I get to be taken care of by talented stylist Sara Juarez, i get to experience Kerastase products in a relaxing & beautiful salon. There are some salons & stylists that provide excellent client service and Jane Alea Salon & Sara excel at creating an experience everytime. Making this a luxe time in my week, where I get taken care of and somehow they always manage to make time for me and my ever changing schedule. I highly recommend Sara, who gets my hair ready for the week ahead, her blow outs are a life saver! read more

I have been going to Jane for years and she is simply the best in the biz. I trust her instincts and always appreciate her guidance on any color or cuts I want to try out. I feel confident referring any new clients because I know they will get such great service. Thank you Jane for bringing my hair back to life. Xoxo read more

I recently went to see Sara to have my hair color corrected as it was way too blonde and not what I was going for. Sara took her time to understand what I wanted and help me understand what she needed to do. The result was even better than I had anticipated! She really does magic! Thank you Sara for taking your time to give me exactly what I wanted (and even better!) read more

Jane is an utter glory-be-to-hair Saint, and all round great human... I've been searching for someone I can trust with my hair, in the Pasadena area, for 6 years. I've had some serious disasters, and some mediocre styles - which in some ways are worse than the disasters. Jane takes the time to understand your hair and is realistic and honest. I've never met anyone who loves working with blondes more than her, and she freakin' nails it. Just look at her yelp photos. I'll never go to anyone for my hair again. She's also an absolute delight to chat with, and her studio is beautiful. She's a real life 'hairovoiant'.. I got exactly what I asked for. Thanks Jane! read more

Jane Alea Salon - The only time I've ever gotten exactly what I want with my hair #janenailedit - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

I called them with a hair emergency and Jane called me promptly back. She was attentive and it was last minute. She accommodated me like a saint. Her assistant spent hours on my hair bleaching and color correcting. I turned out platinum blonde and my hair wasn't even close to damaged! My natural color is black and when I came in it was dark orange. I am so impressed and will be returning! Thanks ladies! Mad props! read more

Sara came through giving me a nice neutral balayage highlight l asked for. She made sure to do a test strip since I had permed my hair recently just to be safe, which I appreciated. Really love how it came out, I had a overall very pleasant experience with her she is good at what she does! read more

Jane is not only a master with color but she has so much knowledge on how to keep my hair healthy. She gave me tips on products and hair tools that helped me grow my hair long, just like I wanted it. On top of being a great hair stylist, she is so professional, always on time and is very realistic with hair expectations. I recommend her to anyone in need of an all around excellent hair stylist! read more

Jane Alea Salon - Highlights around my face - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

I found Jane on yelp almost 4 years ago when I was in a really bad place with my hair. I had been going to the same place my entire life in Philadelphia, but I was spending the summer out in LA and I needed to get my color done. I'd never actually knew what to ask for with my hair and the place that was originally recommended to me, completely butchered the color and I was incredibly distraught. I found Jane on Yelp and sent her pictures of what my hair looked like and how I wanted it back to being. She was able to accomplish it no sweat and ever since I moved out to LA the following year, I've only ever gone to Jane. She is such a kind, funny, understanding, and lovely person, it makes your time sitting in the chair (for me usually 4 hours...so much hair) a really great experience. The new space that she's in is so great and pretty! Jane has never lead me astray from having a great look when leaving and I'm so happy to have her to do my hair and also as a friend. It feels like family there! Sara is also the bomb. (The first pic below is what I came in with and the others are the wonderful work Jane has always done...these are mostly selfies to my mom so I look like doofus, which is my I've chosen to cover my face lol) read more

No words would truly suffice in expressing the gratitude I feel for Jane. Thank goodness I found her & her salon! I recently had a hair mishap, and had holiday events and vacay right around the corner - there was no way I was going to show up with the hair I had. Unfortunately, my face-framing highlights with my former stylist turned out as large, chunky strips of blonde that didn't go with my skin tone and completely contrasted with my natural hair color. Long story short - it was a mess. Jane replied to my request so quickly, got me in the next day, and I ended up with the look I've always wanted. She is a true artist! I couldn't be happier! read more

It was my first experience of hair styling in years. After having my hair burnt in one of the salons I learnt that it does not matter how fancy salon is if a hairstylist does not have experience of working with the type of hair you have. Believe me, Jane has the vast experience and she is passionate about what she is doing. She understands hair like no one else. I scheduled my appointment through yelp after reviewing a bunch of salons, looking at the pictures from previous customers and I felt that Jane might be a hairstylist I've been looking for. At the beginning what impressed me is that she responded within 30 min to 1 hour depending on how busy she was. She asked me to send her pictures of my hair and provide info on what my hair goals were so that she would be able to plan time properly. When I came I did not have to wait and she did not work with other customers during my time. I liked the friendly atmosphere. The place was neat and clean without constant loud noise but with nice soft background music. But most of all I liked that she took time to go once again with me over my hair goals and my concerns and through my whole visit she treated my hair as if it was her own. I am absolutely fascinated with the result. She breathed life into my hair, created the natural sun-kissed effect that I've been looking for. Even though the salon is 30 min drive away from the place where I live, it was 100% worth coming there. I am definitely coming back! read more

I come regularly to get my hair dyed and styled by Sarah. I appreciate her time and attentiveness with my stubborn grays and crazy curls. I always enjoy how amazing I feel after a great blowout. read more

I'm still so happy about my hair transformation! It's longer, healthier, and looks so much better than before. I wanted something lighter for summer and Adria nailed it once again. Thanks again, Adria! read more

I got balayage/foilyage, a much needed haircut and an Olaplex treatment by Sara yesterday. I'm loving how it turned out!! I went in a little scared about changing my hair since I had a horrible experience at another place 2 years ago. Sara put me at ease right when I walked in and I knew I was in good hands. We spent the first 15 minutes for a hair consultation about my hair goals. I showed Sara some pictures but told her that I don't really know what would be the best look for me and she was so patient with me as we came up with a game plan. She created the perfect recipe to compliment my skin tone and I felt so good when I walked out the salon! It was also so easy to talk to Sara throughout the whole process. I felt like my friend was doing my hair! I asked so many hair questions and Sara was so knowledgeable and so patient. I also asked for an Olaplex treatment while she was doing my hair and she added on that service for me at a reasonable price. The salon is also super clean and modern. Parking might be an issue but they do validate for an hour. Also, the only other thing is that the lighting in the salon is kinda dim so I couldn't tell how vibrant the highlights were until I got super close to the mirror and Sara took pictures of my hair. Otherwise, I'm super happy with Sara and how she transformed my hair! Also, special shoutout to Jane! I contacted her initially because her number was on the website. And she provided me an initial consultation via text. She's also super helpful, sweet and direct about what kind of look we could achieve and also how much all the services would cost. Overall, I am very happy with everything and will keep returning to Sara and the salon for my hair needs! read more

Adria has been cutting my hair for almost a year now, I was referred by a friend and since I work on the other side of the building, it made sense. Over the past year, my hair has gone through several colors, bleach included , but she always manages to keep my hair healthy -- never cutting too much. I have a lot of hair and since I've been going to her, I've been able to manage my own blow dry in no time! She is gentle and doesn't torture you with hard brushing or over texturizing... the salon carries the Davines product line... Adria got skills !!! Thanks Girl I lovvvvve my hair! read more
