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.

She has cut and colored my hair multiple times, and each time it has been perfect! She pays meticulous attention to detail, taking the time needed without ever rushing the process.

I have never bleached my hair and I didn't know what to expect. I told Raul that I wanted a more chestnut balayage compared to my original idea of having ash blonde hair. He suggested a lighter brown since my hair was naturally a little lighter on the ends. It wasn't until Raul started the process that I realized I had so much hair. He was so patient though despite my hair taking hours. I also wanted to layer my hair, which Norma and Raul did an amazing job doing. My hair looks so beautiful and it feels so light and amazing. The blowout that they did really accentuated my layers and framed my face so nicely. Definitely coming back!

At the time I went, luckily they were taking walk-ins. The receptionist and hairdresser, Chris, had…read moregiven me a consultation before I decided to go in with choosing highlights. They were considerate, walking me through the choices and confirming which style I wanted, and the staff seemed nice. Though I had never dyed my hair before and my hair type is typically hard to dye the first time, they were able to make it work. Chris and another hairdresser assisted me through the process, and I ended up enjoying the end result, which looked like my inspo photos. Chris seemed very skilled as he quickly cut my hair after a quick look through the inspo photos. The vibe of the place was pretty friendly, and I could tell they were trying to not upset the client lol. The process for highlights took about 3 hours and around $400, depending on what you ask for. Overall, I would recommend this place :)

The cut has incredible flow and dimension -- the layers are seamless, light, and give my hair natural volume without sacrificing length. The face-framing pieces and airy bangs blend perfectly, adding structure while still feeling effortless. What impressed me most was the precision.

Beyond the technical skill, the experience was smooth and professional. My stylist listened carefully, understood exactly what would work for my hair texture, and executed it with confidence. This is the kind of work that looks polished but never overdone. Highly recommend if you're looking for refined layering and movement that actually lasts.
