Seco Blowdry Studio was a life saver for my dinner event! I needed my hair done for an event last minute and I was looking for a place that was close by work and decently priced. 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. read more

This is my new go to salon. I am loyal to Monique M here - if it ain't her, don't get near my hair. She has magical hands - my hair is the healthiest and longest it has ever been! It has grown so much since I started going with her. She also delivers every single time with styling my super straight hair and with the cut. I have never walked out unhappy with my cuts here which is a big deal since some stylists can cut off too much. She's such a sweet person & friendly!! She keeps it real and doesn't try to sell you anything you don't need like the trending glass toners on Tik tok. read more

Seco Blowdry Studio - This is how long it's grown, it used to be a little bit below my shoulder. She doesn't get scissor happy and does what's necessary - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

Update: Changing this from 1 to 3 stars as the salon management has reached out, to try and help. I'm not trying to blame Seco or other stylists for this, but I will leave the photos to reflect Tamar's work. My opinion on her is unchanged and I would never let her cut my hair again. I came to the salon with textured bangs that were tapered and longer at the ends. They were nicely cut by Nicole, though they had grown out. I was so happy with her work, I booked a cut with her a few weeks later. I received a message the day of the appointment that she was sick and I was now with Tamar. No option to reschedule with Nicole so I went with it. I asked for a trim all around, she saw how my bangs were when I came in but she washed and took my textured, tapered bangs and cut them, wet, straight across. I asked for them to hit the bottom of my eyebrows and they barely touched them when they were wet. I knew they would shrink and began to worry. After she dried the bangs I began to cry. They were so short, with the taper section hacked to the same level, I look like I have a really bad bowl cut on the forefront of my face. I told her that they were so short and she had cut the area where they were shaped and tapered off at the sides. She said we'd dry the rest of the hair first. I tried to trust in the process, but after she gave me a Peg Bundy blowout I could not control the tears steaming down my face. I felt so ugly. Still do. She flat ironed the bangs, to try and make them lay longer and took the cape off ready to send me on my way. She never asked if I was ok or what was wrong. I asked if she could try and add some taper back and she painfully dragged her scissors down my now dry hair. I kept quiet after that because it was only getting worse and I was losing hair to work with. I don't know why, but I tipped her and left still in tears. I had to get out of there. I worked in customer service for years. If I had someone sitting in my chair visibly crying I would at least ask them if they were ok and if I were a salon I would never want anyone leaving feeling the way I did. She could not have cared less about me. read more

Amazing!!! My hair is 4B and they left my hair feeling soft with hydration. I felt cared for also pampered. If you go with curly 4 or 3 type hair make sure to put in your booking notes. So they can make the time difference. They are my new every two weeks go to now. Across the way from a Japanese food place. read more

I barely write reviews (good/bad), but I'd like to leave a good one for this place because they are AWESOME. First time coming to this place to get my hair and make up done. All I can say is, YASSS!!!... I left feeling gorgeous. My hair was done by Monique. She did Hollywood glam style waves which was Pinterest worthy! I absolutely love it. I forgot to take a photo right after because I was too excited. My make up was done by Nicole. I showed her a photo of what I'd like, which was a soft natural glam look.. And she delivered!! I love it sooo much. Thank you ladies for making me feel like a rockstar. I'll come back for sure. read more

Was in town for a wedding and went in for a style with Tamar. Told her what I was looking for and she did exactly as I wanted. She was fast, went above and beyond, and my hair lasted 2 days! read more

I can't rave enough about this place. Found them through Yelp and booked an appointment for hair and makeup for a photo shoot. It's surprisingly hard to find a salon that does both hairstyles/blowouts AND makeup at a reasonable price and quality. I do this often for weddings and special events, so I was excited to find one so close to home. Parking is validated, which is awesome off Lake Ave! I described what I wanted to my stylist, Yvette. I didn't have a specific look in mind, but she got a glowing, bronzed, super-extra, Dynasty vibe from my description and made it happen. She's incredibly creative and versatile, and just cool as hell too. I could tell she loved the opportunity to do something a little out of the ordinary. She gave me big, voluminous, fabulous hair and probably the most glowing, glam makeup I've ever had. I left the salon feeling like the most bad ass bitch. I got compliments all day yesterday and I tried to keep the eye makeup through today.... success! I'll post the finished photos from the shoot after I get them! Seco's prices are surprisingly fair and reasonable too... I've had similar services for almost double and not as good. I talked to Yvette about booking times for my brother's wedding and other shoots I have coming up. I think I found my local go-to and I'm so excited! read more

Go see Monique! I just saw her for a new style and cut. I have fine hair and am usually nervous about getting hair services. Monique made me feel so comfortable. I love my new cut and style! She recommended what would look best on my face shape and I absolutely love the results! I also had glossing to complete the look! My hair looks better than it has in 20 years! read more

I had a blow dry done by Noelle and was stunned by the results. Somehow, it's the longest blow dry I've ever had and my hair feels so much healthier if you can imagine that. I definitely recommend the studio and can speak to the high quality service offered. I will be coming back. read more

I love this place so much !! I always come here whenever I'm home. The hair cuts here are the best and so are the girls . The vibe here is great and the atmosphere here is so welcoming and kind. 10/10 read more

I came here after trying to book an ally with drybar and there wasn't availability. I was hesitant to some, since I usually do go to drybar, but I'm glad I came. I recommend coming here over going to DryBar for the following reasons: 1. It's more personal one-on-one salon session. 2. You get exceptional service and can get any hairstyle you want as long as you show pics. 3. It's more affordable than drybar. 4. You don't feel like you're being rushed in and out. 5. The hairdressers are talented and do an amazing job! 6. Great customer service! read more

Well... if you didn't know, now you know! read more

This review is for Noelle. Had my hair curled for a wedding. As always the venue is welcoming. I wanted voluminous curls that wouldn't fall out. My hair is of medium thickness so curls tend to unravel rather quickly. I expressed my concern to Noelle and she suggested adding hairspray. It worked! And what I loved about my hair was that it was still soft to the touch. Often times hairstylists add too much hairspray and my hair is a crunchy mess, but Noelle did it just right! Oh! And the volume at the top was perfect too! Not too much but not too flat either. The curls lasted well into the night and the next day! read more

This salon is a little gem in Pasadena. Monique never ceases to impress me with how smooth and shiny she always makes my hair feel/look. And, as an added benefit, she is super sweet and easy to talk to. I know I don't come to this salon very often but, when I do, I know I'll leave with my hair looking its best. read more

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and with my busy work schedule I had delayed scheduling a hair appointment. I thankfully was able to get an appointment with Monique on a Saturday morning, scheduled 2 weeks prior. She did a great job giving me a "old hollywood" blowout. It kept the entire night! She was personable and sweet. It's a small boutique salon with other salon spaces next door. I would DEFINITELY go back to her if I had another event. Highly recommend her! read more

Went there to get mine and my mom's hair done for a wedding. My hair was done so well and held up through the heat. I got so many compliments. My mom though... she was so happy with her hair and makeup that she didn't want to move all night long. The energy from the girls was so great! Made you feel like you've known them all your life which made you comfortable. Will definitely use them again. read more

I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and we all know how expensive those events can get. After doing some research, I found Seco and am so happy I did! Yvette gave me the most gorgeous updo and Noelle the most beautiful makeup. I am a pretty simple "plain Jane" kind of girl, but these women made me feel absolutely glamorous and all within my budget. I also love supporting a small, female owned business. This place will definitely be my go-to from now on. read more

The absolute BEST salon in Pasadena! The gals...Noelle, Monique & Yvette are amazing stylists and very professional! They are extremely talented and I highly recommend ALL three!!! read more

JUST GO! These girls are so fun and down to earth, it's always a good time. I've found my go-to shop for when I need to get ready or just treat myself. Originally I came in to have my hair and makeup done for a shoot and as soon as I walked in, all 3 stylists greeted me, as if I'd been a longstanding client. I was seated immediately with Yvette and offered a drink. She asked me what the occasion was and got straight to work. I felt completely at ease and knew she was professional and I could trust her. I gave her free reign and was blown away by her blow out. I sat with Noelle for makeup and let her know what I like and my comfort level with makeup. She took it all into consideration and asked to see what I would be wearing. From there she knew exactly what to do, and took it to the next level. My hair held well past what I had anticipated and I didn't want to remove my makeup. Needless to say, I've been back since my first visit, and look forward to any chance I get to go back. read more
