I have been coming to pinok studio for years for my Japanese straight perm with Yuta. I can say…read morewith full confidence that you can trust him and those who trained under him with chemical processes. He is very meticulous and precise when it comes to application of the product and timing. 100% worth the money. Do not be steered away by the price because you get it back in the quality and talent put into both your perm AND in the haircut. I naturally have wavy straight hair. I get the Japanese straight perm to tame my insane flyways I have from my naturally frizzy hair. Now right after a basic blow-dry at home it looks like I have freshly flat ironed hair with not a single flyaway.

EDIT: The haircut itself actually looks nice after looking at it. I was just in shock with the…read morebangs & then having to pay $120 w this on my head. I had straight across bangs when I walked in so it's not like I don't like bangs on me. They just look like I cut them myself & messed up LOL but I styled them myself just now & it's a little better. . 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 had the opportunity to be a hair model for Emily at Jane Alea Salon, and I couldn't be happier…read morewith the results! She gave me a beautiful mid-length layered bob that suits me perfectly. She knew exactly how many layers to add to give my fine hair movement and volume without making it look thin. The cut feels light, easy to style, and has so much more life. She was professional, attentive, and clearly has a great eye for what works best with different hair types. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who truly understands how to customize a haircut to your hair and face shape!

Needed to refresh my color and Emily did an amazing job…read more She asked me questions and ensured that she understood what I wanted before starting. She showed me color options and gave me her opinions which helped narrow down what color we would end up doing. Emily's personality is also so amazing. She's so outgoing and nice and it just felt like we were friends hanging out. I highly recommend booking with her. My hair turned out so well! The salon is also so nice and clean. It's located by El Portal and yes, there's a parking lot for them.

I cannot recommend Ruby enough! She has been cutting and coloring my hair for years, and she is…read moretruly the only person I trust completely. I even asked her to style my hair for my wedding, which says it all. Ruby is incredibly warm and friendly, making every session feel like catching up with a friend, but she also brings a focused precision to her work that is unmatched. She has such a cool, sophisticated taste and is amazing at helping me consider new cuts and colors whenever I'm feeling up for a change. I absolutely love that I can just walk into her chair and not have to worry about a thing, knowing I'm in the best hands. If you are looking for a stylist who is both incredibly talented and wonderful to be around, Ruby is the absolute best!

Got a haircut today by Ami - her instagram is @amidoeshair - she gave me face framing curtain bangs…read moreand beautiful layers. I was really specific with the cut I wanted because I don't like my hair too short and Ami really listened and delivered!! She specializes in haircuts/styles that are long lasting and look better as it grows out without needing much styling - perfect for me since I never have time to style my hair before work. Lots of free parking in the parking lot. They have gendered restrooms, couches to wait on, and Ami even offered me water, teas, and snacks during my visit. She's so sweet! The Union Salon South space is an absolute gem. It's so beautiful with lots of windows, open brick concept, and lots of wonderful stylists walking around. Highly highly recommend Ami - she really listens to what her customers want and isn't pushy with any products.

She goes way beyond your imagination, unfortunately, I have given her a lot of things to be fixed over and over from damages that I had created. Nothing at all has ever been unfixable and just like how I said that she not only fixes it, but she takes it to a whole other level, creating dimension and vibrancy.

I have been coloring my hair professionally for years. My former hairdresser retired 2 years ago…read moreand I have been so disappointed with a number of other hairdressers I have tried since that time. Thanks to Yelp, I found Cynthia!! She is definitely a color expert! I came in with black/ brown hair and fine highlights asking to lighten my base and add highlights. She learned about my hair history and we proceeded with my understanding that it will be a process of a few visits to get to the color I desire. However, the initial results are beautiful! Looking forward to continuing to work with Cynthia on my hair color transformation journey!!

You don't have to think twice, just go to Sally. She never disappointed you!…read moreI used to be shy and not so confident about myself, but since i met Sally, it completely changed. I couldn't count how many time people give me compliments about my hair. My life is so much better when i got my hair done by her. Whatever you want, she get it for you, even more than what you expected. She's also a very friendly person, she knows a lot about traveling. So you're not only talk to her about hair but so many things else. I only come to Sally maybe once every 4-5months because i'm still a student and my budget is tight, but she remembers everything about me and she know exactly what i want to do with my hair So, say no more, if you want nice beautiful hair, book appointment right now if you don't want to wait because she has a lot of clients

Sally is your girl when it comes to your hair needs!…read more So let me tell you something about myself: when I'm bored, I tend to cut my bangs and then I mess them up to the point where people question my life choices. Sally, on the other hand, helped save my bangs when I thought there was no point of return. She also cut the rest of my savage- and uneven-looking hair and made it look normal (phew!). She knew how to work with my thick, Asian hair and she was able to tag-team with her assistant, Eden, to make sure that the whole mishap with my hair would not happen again. I'll definitely swing by when I'm ready to commit to the balayage since my hair needs more dimension; I just can't be too lazy when it comes to taking care of my hair. If you are interested in balayage, you can definitely check her portfolio on her IG - her handle is: bookwithsally. Thanks Sally and Eden!

The salon is beautiful and maintained at the highest level. The location is perfect and has plenty of parking. They use only the best hair products. They even serve you drinks and yummy snacks. The prices are comparable to other high end hair salons. If you are in search of a new hair place, I highly recommend La Magie Hair Salon.

The stylist did a good job at a very steep price but I would always leave feeling like my hair looked like every single person that left the salon. I did some homework and that's how I found Claire. Her salon is in Pasadena. It's chic and her team are always friendly. Her pricing is fair and I leave the salon every time feeling authentic and chic! I always love how the colors turn out and even as it fades the color still looks great (sometimes I can't wait to see what it fades to). I highly recommend her! She's such a badass!

Jennifer is amazing!…read more I had my hair done by Jennifer today at Studio K in Pasadena. The salon itself was absolutely beautiful and spotless. Everything felt so clean and well-maintained, and it almost felt like getting my hair done in a lovely café. I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
