If you walk-in, you may be disappointed as they are pretty popular and book up. I got Cosmo tai. There is a style book with a 8 styles, so you don't need to search google. The stylists are really good here. The interior has natural light, but the back wash area is much larger than you think. A wash and style costs around $60. Just styling with no wash is around $44. Don't come 10 minutes late, or you will miss your wash. You will be offered coffee or champagne as a perk. Really love this place! The street parking is paid on the machine, but the cost is relatively low.

Have been to over 10 Drybar locations across NYC, LA, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, London, and…read morebeyond, and this Pasadena location was by far the worst experience I've ever had. The woman at the front was lovely and kind, so check-in and check-out were the only bright spots. I arrived with clean, wet hair and had already chosen the products I wanted used. Once I sat down, it was clear my stylist was in a mood. He refused to use any of the products I requested, saying he "doesn't like them," and proceeded to blow dry my hair with zero heat protection. The blowout was rough and he was aggressive with my hair, couldn't get it straight, and it was obvious I was in pain. Wanted to get up and walk out the entire time, and honestly should have. Went home, washed my hair, and redid it myself. Paying $70 for that experience was not okay. I don't write bad reviews often, but felt I had to warn others.

Their online booking system was very straightforward and easy to book, and I was able to book a "Hollywood Waves" session with Nicole. It was nice that they offered the $45 price without hair wash. It's a small shop located inside the Colonnade Mall on South Lake Ave. You can park in the parking lot in the back and it's located on the bottom floor of the Mall. Nicole was very sweet and I showed her a few pictures of inspiration. I liked that she listened to what I wanted, I had mentioned that my hair tends to frizz when I have curls so I'm glad she was able to tame my hair so it didn't at the end. Nicole is very talented and she made the experience so relaxing, and it seemed so easy to make my hair so beautiful.

I scheduled a month ago for my nieces party. Two sisters for hair and makeup and 11:00. One would…read morebe getting hair while the other makeup and then switch. I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!

If you're looking for a spa, check this place out. This spa is clean and centrally located in…read morePasadena with reasonably comparable prices. I love coming here for facials and to touch up my brows. I utilize the services of Julie, who is very attentive to detail and your personal skin care needs - this is your go to person. For my facials, I let her take the lead and go with what she feels my skin needs. I have never had any issues from the products used and I have always been satisfied with the outcome. I'm not going to lie, the extractions hurt but they're necessary so just grit your teeth and the process will be over before you know it. This spa is located in a plaza with a very ample parking lot. It is monitored so make sure you pay for your parking (I believe the first 30 or 90 mins are free...forgot the deets on that) or you will come back to a ticket. If you're in a need of a snack before your appointment, there are several coffee shops you will pass before reaching the spa. Appointments are required as is a deposit for services.

During that time, the stylist says she's busy go talk to assistant. the assistant doesn't know prices, she has to "look them up on her screen" and has to find her login password.. I wait then she.. gets a phone call, but she doesn't not put the phone caller on hold; instead, she prioritizes the call over an in-person guest who had already been waiting. At this point I'm just over it.. this salon has no basic service standards. So I write a short review. But the real issue is the salon manager, Cathy. See screenshot Rather than acknowledging the experience or taking responsibility, her response to my review was defensive, dismissive, and borderline hostile. She reframes the situation and even added a passive-aggressive comment along the lines of "too bad we can't review you." Wow! That last remark says everything about the culture here. Customer feedback should be met with accountability. A manager who responds vengefully instead of constructively tells you everything you need in how guests are valued. If this is how concerns are handled publicly, I would be very cautious about how problems are handled here about your hair!

I visited this salon for a deva cut and then highlights and a treatment. Even though I paid over…read more$500 for both services combined (which is the most I have EVER paid for my hair), I was happy with the cut and with the color. The stylist was very knowledgeable about curly hair which I attribute to the cost of their service. I don't think I'd return for color again but will definitely return for the deva cuts. It could be helpful to give customers a rough estimate of the booked service so we get the chance to financially plan instead of being told the price once we're in the chair- at that point, I feel most customers could feel obligated to comply.

I asked if I could bring my clip-in extensions (for volume) and they said yes. Fast forward to my appointment, I arrived at 8:00am and greeted by Rima. I could tell she opened early for my appointment. I showed her my inspo picture which was all down beach wave curls. I show her my extensions and she said she could add them. She started curling my hair. I was nervous that the curling iron was too small but it worked perfectly! She really had a great technique and got my whole head done in one hour. After looking at it, I didn't need my extensions at all. She was so friendly, funny and we chatted the whole time so it didn't feel like an hour. She let me know the style can last for a couple days and how to sleep in it. I am very low maintenance with my hair so it was nice to hear that it lasts more than a day. And it did! I am so happy to have found her and this salon. See you again soon!

I hadn't done anything to my hair in about 2 plus years and let my gray roots come in. My hubby is…read moreretiring soon (he's my silver haired fox) so I decided to finally embrace my gray, too. The hair that Adriana had to deal with was "virgin" hair untouched by processing but very fine. I don't know anything about balayage (and that it works from the tips to the root, not vice-versa) so she helpfully showed me a few pics of gray highlighting and we were set to go. I love the ambience there; very chillax. This happened right between Thanksgiving and Christmas and you get burnt out on all the bouncy music everywhere you go. Luckily, I picked a very quiet establishment with just soft jazzy versions of the holiday stuff. The many live plants as decor really adds to the spa vibe. Make sure you keep your voices low so as not to disturb other patrons, many of whom are fellow Asians like me. I read on their website about the "Head Spa" that they do, which is kind of a 20/40/60 minute facial but for your scalp. Those chairs are so comfy you will, if you're not careful, fall asleep. Every major service (cut and highlights for me) will include a scalp massage. They block out the overhead lights and you feel like you're floating lying down. I might come back regularly for this alone. I recommend this place for people who have stress headaches. They say they use pure jojoba and help exfoliate your scalp. The total for a long hair cut was $94 and the cost of highlights was $325. You put down $100 deposit with your credit card when you make the appointment and they don't cash it until your service is complete. Make sure you're on time or early (I suggest at least 15 mins) or you will be charged 100% penalty. Parking is limited to behind Lake Ave in "Shoppers Lane." If they run out of spots you can also park at the Trader Joe's (west side of Lake) and just buy something there so you can get validated. It was pricey but well worth it. My stylist advised that I come in every few months for toner rinse to keep the highlights bright since the gray will just come in naturally after that. Don't be afraid to do it! Ask for Adriana.
