Chad did an amazing job on my hair and he was super quick. I have gotten so many complements on my hair and how natural it looks. He is super easy to get along with too. My hair is now super healthy and getting lighter with every wash. It looks amazing when I curl it too. The products he sells at his salon smells great. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Chad has been cutting my hair for more years than I can remember, I think 10 now... I'm always so happy with his styling and the new ideas he comes up with when I want a change. Chad is professional, fast and covers all the details. The salon is also a wonderful place, always so nice to see Grazie and the staff there. It feels like visiting family when I come by for a cut. read more

I was driving towards Lake and decided to get a quick haircut. I went in and not only the place looks great, but the service was amazing! Chad made magic with my hair! I went with my hair all crazy and ended up with great advice and a modern look! Thanks! read more

My hair and my son's hair are curly, thin, and difficult to manage. We ended up getting the best haircuts we have had in recent memory. I'm not going anywhere else from now on. I absolutely recommend this great salon. read more

I've been coming here for a few years and LOVE it. Chad always does an awesome job. I drive from Irvine and use to drive from San Diego to Pasadena just to get my haircut. That's how great it is! Chad always knows exactly what to do with my hair and I never have to say anything. Everyone there is super nice. Thanks for always making my hair look fabulous! read more

Look 10 years younger! I asked two different friends who does their hair, because they looked younger and more beautiful than ever. Chad! Every person I refer to Chad and Gratzi thanks me. Together, they make you look your best by recommending and creating the best hair style for you. They are artists. The entire team at Salon Passione is wonderful, kind and talented. read more

Stephen Whitt is the BEST!!! He's so knowledgeable, professional and a perfectionist who takes his craft seriously. He is so amazing and always seems to know exactly what I need. He always leaves me feeling fabulous!!! read more

Chad and his team are the best of the best! I have been a client since 2002 and would never go anywhere else. He is the best with color and short cuts. Not a day goes by without a comment on my cut. read more

The most amazing salon in Pasadena! Grazia is so talented in cut and color! Chad, her husband, is spectacular and on the cutting edge of the newest trends! read more

Marina was great - she gave my 10 year old a fabulous haircut and really was engaging & friendly with her. Very reasonable for a kids' haircut - with blow dry! Parking is a bit tricky, but manageable. read more

I happened to be at Run With Us next door on Saturday, and as I was walking by I saw the "Walk-ins Welcome" sign and decided to stop in for a trim. Having my hair done by stylist Stephen Whitt was an extremely enjoyable experience! He recently moved to Pasadena from Chicago, and is personable but also a very talented and experience stylist. I have received many compliments from my cut & style. I agree with the person who wrote below: You must get your hair done by him. You will not regret it. read more

A friend has been going to Damien for years and he has always done a fantastic job so I decided to see him since I have bleached my very dark brown hair blonde. The bleaching process left my hair quite damaged and lacking dimension. I told him I wanted a haircut and lowlights. He determined that lowlights would not grab onto my hair because the texture has changed and it would only last for a few washes. He decided it would be best to use a toner to make my hair a darker shade of blonde to make my hair blend better. I'm really happy with the new color as well as the cute bob he gave me. Damien is clearly experienced and gave me a high-end cut without the price. I'll definitely go back. read more

Chad is amazing! I just started going to him - love the color he does and would highly recommend him. Also, his assistant who washes out your hair does an amazing job - so relaxing! read more

Loved my haircut- lots of layers and dimension. He was meticulous- I'm really happy there's a great salon here in Pasadena

I have been going to Salon Passione for about 4 years after meeting Chad randomly at a dinner with mutual friends. He is extremely talented (and has the greatest personality) and always has the best ideas in what to do next with my hair. I admire his dedication to learning new innovative hair designs. I have since moved to the Valley, but I make the drive because I love Salon Passione. read more

Just had an appt. with Laura. It was the best blow dry I've ever experienced. She was very nice and on time, my hair was exactly what I asked for. I have a hair dresser for life. Love her. read more

Ive been coming to salon passione for more than 4 years. My hair stylist is Ruth and she is simply the best hair stylist to go to. She has cut, colored, and styled my hair in many colors lengths and forms. Ruth is simply the best. She is very honest with you and she is very caring to your hair. I love going to her becuase she is very sassy and talkative so you wont have a boring appointment with her. Ever!!!! She made me look very beautiful on my wedding day and i am so thankful! If you want let your hair grow go to Ruth my hair grew super long and healthy very quick! Dont think about it twice make an appointment with Ruth! The salon is always super clean and modern. Great place to zone out. The owner always offers you something to drink and helps are his hair stylist out. Truly a fantastic styling dynamic!!! read more

Love this place and it's right next to my work for a quick blow out./stlye

A family member of mine recommended Salon Passione when I was panicked looking for a salon on a Friday afternoon to fix a horrid haircut I got the night before at a salon down the street. Let me just say - Stephen is a miracle worker! He calmed me down with a glass of wine and pleasant conversation, but most importantly a great cut! He had very little to work with to start, but turned my horrible cut into something out of a magazine! I have now been going to Stephen since last summer for cut and color, and have even brought in my mom a few times! His cuts are beautiful and consistent each time, and I feel thankful to have found him!! Thank you Stephen! read more

I've been going here for the past few years. I absolutely love Chad and Grazia. Grazia cuts my hair and always does a fantastic job. Even if I don't come back for a few months, my hair grows out nicely. They're absolutely fantastic! They tend to fit me in within the week I call and are always sweet and friendly. Every time I leave, I feel prettier and happier. They've done my hair for graduation and other occasions and have yet to disappoint me. I intend to get my hair colored by them soon since I've seen the great jobs they've done for other customers and friends of mine. I know that they're on the pricier side, but completely worth it. I highly recommend them. They truly care about your hair and make you feel great. Water and coffee are offered/available. I can never go to another salon again. They know exactly how to deal with my crazy hair and do it flawlessly. The only minor problem is parking is limited in the back. Walk ins are welcome and they're right off the 210 E Lake Exit. read more

My first experience at this salon was wonderful! I will definitely be coming back! Right away, I was impressed- I was offered refreshments upon entering the salon, the magazines were up to date, and Nooks were available for clients to read from. After a consultation with Damien, I received a sexy short cut and brilliant red color. I absolutely love what I walked out with! Damien was dedicated to nailing the color that I wanted and that would work best with my skin tone. He really listened to me. And just to note, I walked in with the dryest hacked ends and a three toned dye job. Needless to say, he really cleaned me up and saved me. Thank you for the rock-chic hair! Also, salon talk really isn't my thing, but I felt so comfortable here, that I honestly enjoyed it :) read more

Grazia one of the co-owners was really helpful from the moment I called to make an appointment. She was able to see me on very short notice which I love in a salon since my busy schedule forces me to drop in at the last minute. I just moved to Pasadena and this is the first time I have had my hair colored. She did a great job of getting the color right, the blend she used is actually better than most of the fancy, hip salons I've gone to in San Francisco. The other owner, Chad, came over and chatted with me for awhile and all around the experience was of a family-owned, small business that was chill and inviting. I will definitely go to Salon Passione again! read more

I cannot think of one negative comment about Salon Passione. Number #1 is...they're amazing w/my hair, timely, keep up with the latest in hair care & styles, clean hip environment, nice people and fair price. I used to think I had to go to Beverly Hills area to get quality hair care. Not anymore! Oh, yeah and they always have the best cappuccino! read more

Jessica Minton is a genius!!!! I have never had a hairdresser who listens as well to what I want and truly delivers. She works magic with color and never fails to give me a great cut. She will spend hours on your hair to get it to the perfect color and texture. If you haven't had an appointment with her you're missing out! read more

Chad has been cutting my hair for over 15 years. I started seeing Chad when I was 16 before he had his own salon and watched him and his wife open a fabulous spot if their own. Now my mom, dad, sister and husband all get their hair cut here. I've lived in a number of far off cities over the years and tried out other stylists. None of them are as good as chad. over the years he has done everything from long layers to blunt bangs, pixie cuts and angled bobs. Over and over again he delivers incredibly flattering cuts that don't sacrifice style. It feels like family when we come here, which is one or the many reasons we travel from San Francisco to continue to get out hair cuts here! read more

If you have fine blonde hair and want a stylist that can give you a "Vidal Sassoon" precision cut and natural beautiful highlights, Chad Brunochelli is my recommendation. Trust him with your hair ...you will not be disappointed! read more

I have recently visited Salon Passione in Pasadena. Chad (Owner) provided me with one of the best Hair cuts. He is definitely the consummate artist when giving you the cut that is specifically suited to your individual features & lifestyle. It is definitely one of the best Salons I have been to. Before leaving, his beautiful wife asked if I would allow her to trim my eyebrows. I never seem to shape them properly. Made an obvious difference. I will certainly make this my Salon of choice in the future read more

Chad is amazing!!! I found Salon Passione when I asked a woman, who had a beautiful cut and gorgeous color, where she went. She recommended Chad and 13 years later I couldn't imagine a better stylist. He gives me a natural blonde look and I always get compliments on my hair. Highly recommend! read more

So I learned about this salon thru groupon and I am delighted. Very very pleased, Grazie colored my hair and did an exceptional job, was very thorough in covering all of my gray and I loved my hair cut. I've had my hair cut and colored on a regular basis on Melrose, Beverly Hills and Malibu and I have to say, this is far more convenient AND impressive in the quality of the service. I have always gone to salons based on friends reviews and I went in cold to Passione and LUCKED out. Would recommend this Salon, an excellent experience. read more

Grazia at Salon Passione is awesome! She is a first class hair stylist. She gave me a fabulous haircut and color. I love my new hair style and I've got so many compliments! The atmosphere at the salon is very friendly, it offers a spectacular customer service and the prices are really reasonable. I've tried many different and also expensive places and I've never been so satisfied as here. Passione is my new salon of choice and I recommend it to anyone who wants to look and feel fabulous! read more

Chad is amazing, works quickly, and has a sixth sense that most stylist don't - he knows what you're trying to achieve with your look, even if you can't explain it. Grazia was sweet and answered all of my questions, I kept telling them they were the dream team. Long story short I walked in with 4 inch long roots and a mess of color on color (thanks to letting friends do my hair) and walked out with the most beautiful slate grey color I have ever had. read more

all four members of my family get our hair done by Chad and Grazia! We absolutely love this salon! Not only are they professional and knowledgable, they are so kind and caring to all of their customers. Any color, highlights, treatments, or haircut you can think of, Chad always delivers! read more

Today I had my hair colored, cut and styled by Damien at Salon Passione in Pasadena. Damien took his time with me to ensure the color was what I wanted, a deep rich brown with tones of mahogany and chestnut. Absolutely georgeous color. My hair (cut, color and style) turned out better than I had expected. Damien I recommend you to anyone who he seeking a new stylist/colorist. I loved my experience with Damien at Salon Passione. Salon Passione's has a modern feel with comfortable chairs and upbeat music playing. They offer beverages while your hair is being treated. I definetly recommend this salon and Damien. read more

Despite the fun banter between stylists at this salon, the final result isn't worth the entertainment. Chad sides on being scissor happy (which was even something his assistant admitted to with a "that's Chad for you"). His default is to do multiple (EXTREMELY CHOPPY) layers. It appears that he doesn't take a person's personal aesthetic nor physical attributes into consideration. I came in for a trim and left with 5.5" off of the bottom and countless choppy layers. As if the machete-style scissor assault wasn't enough, Chad spent far too much time attempting to build his sale by demanding (not suggesting) that I come to him for my color future and proceeded to abate the skills of my current colorist. If you are accustomed to the skilled hands at salons in Miracle Mile and Beverly Hills, this is certainly NOT the salon for you. read more

I purchased a Groupon for the cut, condition, and color because it was such a great deal...and I'm so happy I did. Chad (stylist as well as owner) did all 3, and I'm very pleased with his work. He used color by L'Oreal and it turned out beautifully. He did an excellent job on my haircut and I love how versatile the cut is - especially because I told him I have 2 kids and don't have time to do my hair. When doing the deep conditioning treatment, he was thorough and made sure it was evenly distributed. Everyone in the salon was very professional, friendly, and interested in doing a good job. My hair looks and feels fabulous, and I will definitely be going back there again. I'm also going to take my son and my husband because of the great results I got. On a total side note...I love the parking situation here. There are a couple of spots in the back, but in addition, you can park on Locust St. as well without any issues. In Pasadena, that's a bonus!! read more

I have been on the hunt for years now with the hopes of finding a true colorist and stylist. I had the very fortunate privilege of meeting Chad for the first time on Saturday (June 11). And all I have to say is -- mission accomplished! The man is a true artist with such an impeccable eye for what color and cut will complement a person. I was in need of a change and it seemed as though in an instant Chad knew exactly what would work for me. I walked out of that salon with a stunning new color and a very flattering new cut. I've received many compliments and I owe it all to Chad! He is simply awesome!!! read more

Marina, I'm so grateful for the wonderful hair cut and blow dry. Thank you so much for spending so much time before the shampoo "getting to know" my hair, its little peculiarities, what really brings out the best style for my face shape, and most importantly, your kindness. My husband and friends love the new look. You did a terrific job!! read more

This was not a good experience. I had an appointment with Chad, but Chad barely spoke or paid attention to me. He was busy with other customers, and largely left me in the hands of his assistants. He was also very brusque, never introduced himself, never took the time to really find out what I wanted. I told him to dye my hair back to its natural color (light brown - it had been highlighted), and he dyed it a dark almost-black shade that makes me look Goth. He told me that it would fade, but it's been a few weeks now and it still looks black. I also told him that I wanted a little trim and to get rid of some of my layers. He added LOTS of new layers, especially some very short ones around my face, which I told him specifically I didn't want. I had purchased a Groupon for this, and ended up getting my money refunded by Groupon because I was so dissatisfied. read more

I've been coming here for 12 years, and have no intention of going anywhere else. Chad is a an absolute master of hair design. You simply will not find anyone more talented or creative. Beyond his sheer genius, the salon itself is amazing; it is beautiful, with state-of-the-art decor and equipment. And finally, the staff are incredible. They are lovely people and true talents, learning from the best. 5 stars all the way! read more

Chad did an amazing job. My hair was just terrible when i came in but that man is a magician and like magic my hair he fixed something that i believed was unfixable. He is easy to get along with and have a nice conversation. This was my first time going and it most definitely will not be the last time. I will come here from now on. read more
