    Fabulous new 'do from Friné.
    Bree B.

    ***UPDATE*** I'm reposting my original review from August below, because Yelp has not yet developed the brains (or brawn) to transport data when a business moves locations. But last night I got my second haircut from Friné, and it was, once again, spectacular. This woman knows hair! *** Today Friné gave me the best haircut of my life. Seriously. I was new to the salon--I'd heard great things but was mildly trepidatious, because a) entrusting a total stranger with sharp scissors is always kind of scary, and b) sometimes my stylists quietly judge me for my lack of makeup or the fact that I often go six months without a haircut. (Heaven forbid.) Not so with Friné. She was a dream--positive and absurdly talented, she "got" my no-frills style immediately. She was fast and efficient, and then took the extra time to give my hair the wind-blown "surf's up" look I love. I could not have been more happy when I looked in the mirror. Booya! Who knew getting your hair cut could be FUN? Bonus points to Mallory, who offered us coffee, tea, or water upon entry and did a bang-up job blowing out mi madre's hair. She made mom look like a movie star. Can't remember the last time I felt so damn joyous leaving a salon. Thank you, Friné, and thank you, Scissors! See you in Bungalow Heaven soon...maybe this time before six months. ;)

    Lilly in her own chair this time and Mallory had to bend over a lot.  Kind people are far and few in between these days.

    Mallory has cut and styled my lovely Mother-in-law's hair many times, always a great job. Lilly is 99 years old, she knows what a good hair cut is. Lilly says Mallory is a very good stylist. Thanks Mallory for your dedication to perfection. And now she cut my hair too, who knew she understands mans hair.

    Yolanda working her magic

    Yolanda worked her magic this past Saturday creating this beautiful style and color for my daughter. My daughter had a specific look in mind and Yolanda takes it further knowing exactly what to do and is a sheer genius (no pun intended ). Also, giving her highlights, don't know how she knows this but she always knows what tones and colors to add and blend. Ready for summer!! Traveled all the way from Torrance and well worth it. Anyone who's looking for an amazing look especially for summer or any occasion, look no further than Scissors, Paper, Rock Salon in Pasadena, CA

    Before the magic...And after
    SpiralsAndLife T.

    If you're looking for a stylist to give your hair life again, you've come to the right place. Here at Scissors Paper Rock, you'll find Kim, a veteran in the business but new to the crew!! I walked into the salon and was greeted with smiles and the ambiance of peace. After being offered beverages and reading material, I was immediately taken to the bowl to start the cleansing process. Marquis @TheHairProfit, a licensed stylist, played the role of assistant for the day. His wash technique had me asking myself why had I waited four years to step inside of a salon!! He took his time making sure to carefully detangle my strands and blew out my hair with a gentle touch. That was a golden moment. Especially for us curly girls who are pretty particular with the amount of heat and force we apply to our hair. It was now my turn for Kim to get to work and create her magic. I decided to keep my length but I was looking to make a change with side swept bangs. After sharing pictures of interest, she snipped a little off and asked me to verify if this is the look I was going for. I appreciated her dialog, I felt like I was apart of the styling process. After much anticipation, I turned toward the mirror and could do nothing but smile. I was elated!! She was able to turn my damaged locks into beautiful tresses!! A huge Thank You to Kim, Marquis and the staff at Scissors Paper Rock. I would definitely recommend this place of business for men and women to relax and beautify themselves. Consultations available, parking is close and convenient and you'll walk out feeling like a new you!! Thank me later

    Frine is the best!!! Balayage, highlights, ombre, whatever I ask she does! Short hair, blunt cut, shag, bangs, everything! She's magic with scissors and color! Thank you for always keeping my hair in the best shape! Love her!

    I really don't do selfies but I am super happy with my haircut and style by Frine.
    Jacque S.

    Really happy with my haircut & the salon. Frine was excellent. So warm, welcoming, and I love how she styled my hair. She did exactly what I was hoping for, all while being 5 days away from delivering her baby! I will be back for sure.

    Beautiful setting!

    Kimberly worked magic in bringing my dull boring hair back to life. The shop had great ambiance, awesome customers and friendly staff. I will be back! Thanks Kimberly!!!

    Ask the Community - Scissors Paper Rock Salon

    Hey just I wanted to know the estimated price to dye my hair. I'm a guy so I don't have it that long I wanted to dye it gray. You think you can do that for me pls?

    You will need to bleach and tone. I can't quote you without seeing your hair, as it may take several appointments to achieve this . However, starting price would be $150.

    Hi I was wondering if I can have an estimate price toning your hair? My hair is a little past shoulder length and is brassy orange with a little yellow

    You must come in for consult. We don't quote. Thank you!

I emailed her, and she got back to me super quickly. On the day of the lesson, she showed up right on time. I liked her personality too, she was very personable and friendly. You can tell how experienced she is from the way she demonstrates her techniques. We went through everything from full makeup to hair, and we recorded the whole session. I've been rewatching the videos over the last few days to practice. I picked up so many helpful tips I hadn't thought about before, like better ways to shape and enhance my eyebrows, better bronzer application, and little tricks for both hair and makeup. She also mentioned she'd send over a list of recommended tools afterward (I definitely realized I'm missing a few things, like stuff for crimping hair). It was valuable to go back to the basics with her guidance and see exactly how to level up my everyday techniques. Highly recommend if you're looking to improve your skills!

Her and her team have such a beautiful talent of accentuating each woman's natural beauty and features while still keeping everthing natural, but elevated. The blush, the highlight, and more specifically the EYES were all just perfect throughout the entire day.

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!

She has an eye for what will look nice when photographed. After the trial, Kristie remained responsive, and I mostly communicated with her over text and email.

All the girls were asking me what time to show up, but I literally didn't have an answer because Kristie didn't tell me. She was busy and didn't give me the schedule until the night before the wedding. We were scheduled to start at 7 AM because there were 6 of us, but only two people are getting worked on at a time. Some girls showed up at 6:50 AM super tired but didn't get worked on until 9 AM. I felt so bad. They could have slept in. The results though were good. The girls felt their requests were handled. One girl needed to use her own make up due to sensitive skin, and Kristie obliged. Kristie had one assistant (Amy?), and they even used the hair pieces that the bride provided. Thank you, Kristie and assistant!

I would highly recommend the HMUA trial to others to ease any nerves and allow for time and space to experiment with styling. Kahn addressed my feedback after the HMUA trial and had thoughtful suggestions for things I didn't think about, but were ultimately better suited for my features (e.g. more hair volume to account for the veil, contouring for pictures, nude lip instead of a red). I felt like a princess in the best way possible. Moreover, Kahn did an excellent job for my mom. My mom was jaded and very particular about her HMUA after a terrible experience at her own wedding 30 years ago, but Kahn was patient, accommodating, and well experienced with doing Korean styling. My mom was SO happy with how she looked on the day. Agency-wise, Kelly Zhang was well organized and communicative and I would work with them again in the future!
