He is great with the short hair cut! I have thick Asian hair and he can layer it without the harsh edges. He is amazing with the coloring- I recently went blonde and love it. It is not brassy. He listens and is very gracious. I won't get my hair done anywhere else. Every person that walks out of the salon looks happy and beautiful! read more

He has magic hands and brought my Sally's hair dying mistake back to life. I'm so grateful to have gotten my hair fixed. He is very professional and caring. He is also realistic and honest. He works diligently and gently on your hair. I had a full set of highlights on previous bleached and dyed hair. I am so glad I choose Keya. I did a lot of research before coming to Keys and had two consultations. Keya"s experience made me confident that he would do such an amazing job. read more

Posting another 5 star review because I finally was able to book a balayage and haircut appointment. Keya took time to get just the right kind of sun kissed blond that complemented my skin tone. So much shine and dimension! My favorite part of my new hair color is his signature Keya face framing. It really gave an extra oommff to the color portion magic mix that he painstakingly applied on my long hair. It's also worth noting that the products smelled good instead of strong chemical scent. I look forward to our next hair appointment, Keya! Thank you so much! Glad I found you!! read more

I was looking for a skilled colorist and found Keya here on Yelp. I don't think I am a typical client. I had 1.5 inches of hair as a result of a medical situation. Keya only had photos of my previous color to go by and he totally got it right. Actually, he made it better, I love the color! Keya is a true professional, friendly, easy to contact, always prompt and best of all, he listens. I am anxiously waiting to experience his skill as a stylist. The salon is in a lovely setting with convenient parking. I feel very fortunate to have found Keya. read more

I have been going to Keya for 2 years when I am visiting family in Pasadena/LA. This time, he suggested that I add more dimension and depth to my hair and suggested I add highlights (his signature technique) followed by a haircut. I was completely unprepared for the results...such subtlety, depth, movement or light, it is SO beautiful. Everywhere I go, people are commenting on how my hair has almost a halo effect and I look (and feel) younger and brighter. Thank you Keya, you are an artist, truly. read more

From the professionalism of booking, to the relaxing minimalistic environment, to the humble artistry of Keya.. I am beyond impressed and happy with my experience!

He was such a pleasure to spend the time with. Honestly look no further if you need an exceptional stylist that hears what you need and makes it come to life.

Keya is a rockstar who specializes in blonde highlights although he can do anything! He does beautiful work making your hair and features pop by weaving in accents that look like you just spent a vacation at the beach rather than a salon! He is talented with a great eye and listens to your needs and on top of all that Keya is fun to talk to and super nice! On me Keya added three shades high and low with balayage another expertise of his-giving my hair depth and wow! Thanks Keya! Cindy read more

Keya did a great job with my color correction. He was able to remove my black box dye and give me a pretty multi dimensional ash brunette. I found him easy to schedule with, the salon was clean, and the overall experience was pleasant start to finish. Thanks Keya! read more

I've been going to Keya for years and have always been incredibly happy with the work he's done. He listens to exactly what you want and he makes sure the end result is perfect. I live about 90 minutes away and only see him a few times a year. I also only wash and air dry my hair. He is so good about making sure color will last for several months and the cut is perfect for my lifestyle. I highly recommend him for color and cuts! read more

Keya Schaeffer is the best! He really understood what I wanted and I could not be happier with my hair-both the cut and the color. I felt very safe as Keya maintains all the Covid protocols. So glad that I found a stylist that I can trust with my hair. I highly recommend Keya. read more

Keya was awesome from the moment we communicated through text, up until my perm was finished. So much knowledge and professionalism this person has and is very easy to talk to. For an inexperienced salon-goer such as myself, Keya answered all my questions, addressed my concerns, and definitely made it a less-intimidating experience for my perm. Not to mention the quality of work - hair came out perfect! 1000% recommended! read more

Keya has been doing my hair for a few years now and I cannot say enough great things about his work. He is truly an artist and an insane master of color. If you have blonde highlights look no further. I get so many compliments after I get my hair cut and colored. The color lasts for months too which is a huge plus! He is also really easy to talk to, has a super chill vibe and is really accommodating with my short notice requests. read more

I have been to hair stylist all over the area and I never left any of them saying "yes that's my guy!" But I finally found that with Keya! He transformed my hair and exceeded my expectations!

Keya Schaeffer Hair - From this, to this! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

I went in with a little expectation, actually not much of an expectation at all last year around this time. I have been to about 30 salons, asking my hair to be bleached and always walked out with colored,(not bleached) nothing like what I had asked for , and of course not happy at all. Reason for 30 salons... Long story short he has been my to go stylist ever since and I have the most compliments on my hair more than ever. I'm in my late 40s and my hair looks and feels the best, even better than my teens and 20's hair. Don't know what he did this time but my bleached hair looks as if I have coated my hair with oil and thus making it look sleek, shine and healthy. Thank you and thank you !!!! -Minah read more

I just realized that I've been going to Keya for about 10 years! We've been through many locations and hairstyles together and I trust him to push me out of my comfort zone. I even went from long air to a pixie cut and loved it. His strengths are many but the color is always great and the company even better. read more

Keya is amazing!! After researching many hairdressers, I opted to go with Keya for some highlights for summer (based on the fabulous reviews he's received). Keya listened to what I wanted, and then he took it to another level with clever techniques and a wonderful choice of colors that complimented my base color. He blended the highlights in so beautifully and I was delighted with the results, which were far beyond what I had originally envisioned / expected -- and I've received so many compliments! Keya's also a delightful person, and it was such a pleasure chatting with him (which is a bonus when you're at the hairdressers for a couple of hours!!) read more

Personally the hair on my head is like my crown! And I feel most ladies would agree on this feeling, being this protective, you can understand the amount of trust I have in Keya. The condition my hair arrived in was quite the disaster & this is how I saw Keya's sincerity in just how much care he has for the health of your hair. Since then, no matter what condition my hair has been in he will always work the best magic to revive every strand and leave me with model status hair. There's much attention to detail in any techniques it may take to get to the style you want or just routinely up keep. Truly one of the best hair stylists read more

Amazing!!! Super nice guy!!! Keya has been my hairdresser for almost three years, he is very professional and patient. He always fully communicates before he starts. His style recommendation is always so personalized. His soft balayage worked perfectly for my hair. Long colored hair was frustrating but my hair is now very easy to style and healthy with long length. Keya did an amazing job. I am very satisfied. His store is in Pasadena which is a little far from me, but I will keep coming back. His price is modest and his service is just excellent. The best hairdresser you can find in LA! read more

It was such a wonderful experience having my hair done by Keya! He is a true artist who takes the utmost pride in his work. I appreciated the questions he asked me to get a better sense of what I wanted out of my hair cut and color treatment and when I asked for suggestions, I felt confident in his feedback.

Keya Schaeffer Hair - Keya achieved exactly what I wanted. A rich color with dimension and texture. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

Went to Keya for first time yesterday and had the best hair experience! I was so relaxed with him and was so easy to talk to! I've always gone to celeb hairdressers and tired of going to Bev Hills so I looked for someone nearby in Pasadena and read the reviews. Like others said, he's so talented and does everything you hoped and more. I've never ever liked my highlights this much, I'm so ecstatic! And looks healthier than than I've ever seen it! The shade is the most perfect blonde, I didn't even know my hair could look like this, all because of his technique! Thank you Keya!!! read more

Best haircut, hands down!!! I've gone to various hair-stylists over the years and have always been disappointed with the final results. Ever since I was introduced to Keya about five+ years ago, I have never gone anywhere else. I have very coarse hair and it's tough for me to manage day-to-day. He's given me styling advice that's doable for me with ease. Keya knows exactly what I need to make me feel like a brand new, handsome man after leaving his chair! I highly recommend you get your cut with a professional, like him. He's a true artist as well as wonderful person. You won't go wrong, so please give him a try. Keya is also very accommodating with your schedule and is extremely easy-going, willing to work with any ideas you may have. Thank you, Keya, for always making me feel like a million bucks!!! Will post a photo next time!!! read more

I have been living in California for 30 years, and Keya is the best colorist I have ever had. His highlights are very natural, very adapted to the client's choice and style. He mixes colors like a real artist, and this, because he has a true passion for his work. Besides his great skills, Keya is a very kind person who really wants his clients to be happy with the result. He will sit with you as long as it takes to understand what you want, and will work on it with you to achieve it. And, when you will feel confident enough to let him do the work and will feel totally relax, you will enjoy talking with him about travels, films and music, three things he loves almost as much as his craft! read more

THANK GOODNESS for Keya! I can't say how thankful I am to Keya for squeezing me in after a hair emergency I had after a botched color job. My hair was YELLOW with horrible orange stripes after trying to go platinum blonde, i contacted Keya and he got back to me within half hour and was able to get me in the next day. He stayed late to correct my hair and now it is perfect! He is incredibly nice and knows what he is doing, he truly cares about the health of your hair! I'm so happy! I can't wait to come get my hair done with Keya again!! read more

Keya is absolute MAGIC! I have been going to him for about 5 years now and will never let anyone else color my hair after going to him! Being Indian, I usually get wary of people coloring my hair because I feel like most people don't take my skin tone into consideration! Keya, however knows his stuff! Have gotten so many complements on how my balayage looks natural and never over done and he always makes sure it absolutely perfect and the way you want it before let you walk out the door! I 10/10 would recommend going to him! read more

I have been a return customer of Keya for at least 8 years. I took a chance and followed his hair suggestions and took some risks. I'm honestly complemented on how nice my hair is--for my age! So I get my cuts, styling and hair coloring from Keya. Keya is cheerful, kind and has a good sense of humor. Annoyingly, I ended up having to move about 20 miles away from Keya. I decided to continue making the voyage for my hair needs because I was unwilling to compromise. I'm unwilling to surrender any business that *consistently* provides amazing service. Especially when people tell you at age 46, that your hair is sexy! Thank you Keya! I'm glad I listened to you! read more

Keya recently moved locations, but only within a short distance of his former Pasadena space. I followed Keya because I trust only him with my hair. Keya, as I've written before, has flawless technique. However, what sets Keya apart and keeps me coming back for more is how he truly listens to his client and understands what her life is like before helping her settle on hair that is flattering for her. Throughout the years, I've learned that Keya is well-traveled, intelligent, and cultured. It's always a horizon-broadening experience to have my hair done by Keya and to engage in expansive conversations that run the gamut from politics, to art house movies, avant garde fashion, and real estate. Please visit him at his new place! Keya is worth it. read more
