    I have gone to Sonia twice now, and both times I left speechless! She does the most wonderful job with the cut, color, everything!! I love our chats during our sessions + I have never been more content with a stylist's services. She knows the exact timing, is a great price for the products + quality she provides, and is just such an amazing person. If you have the chance to meet Sonia and have her do your hair - just know you're in great hands

    Love how Sonia fixed my hair

    I came to Sonia because I was unhappy with my hair color from the last place I went. My grown-out highlights were bold & brassy and my grays were on full display. So I got a cut and she fixed the color. I loved the way she toned down the colors & helped all them blend nicely. And I loved the cut too. I have very thick, curly hair but she was able to tame the beast. I love my hair now! On a side note, the Regency Salon is a beautiful space with each individual salon in its own private little room.

    One of the many amazing experiences captured at Sonia's studio.

    Sonia has been taking care of my hair for the past 7 years and I haven't had any need to cheat on her because she is like no other! She is accommodating in many ways and if you tell her what you like she will make it happen. And, if you're not sure what you want, she will consult with you and get to know you so she can help you get there. She spends the time and truly cares about your experience. Sonia is also hands down THE BEST at giving a head massage. I have a lot of favorite experiences when I get my hair done but that is the icing on the cake! Since the beginning of time Sonia has also made excellent recommendations on hair products - it sustains my color, smells good, is not too costly, and lasts a long time. I have also never been pressured to buy any products from her and she will give you an honest opinion on her product experience if you ask her. She has a lot of knowledge so don't be shy to ask!

    Before

    Sonia the Colorist is the best! She did an amazing job with my hair and was so professional and efficient! I'm so grateful that she went out of her way to use high quality products on my hair to protect my curl pattern I highly recommend her services 10/10!

    After- NO FILTER

    Beauty comes from the inside... inside the hair salon... Sonia the Colorist's salon to be precise! I have been a client of Sonia's for 9 years. A friend recommended her to me and I've been driving from Orange County to Pasadena every 6-8 weeks for the past 9 years. Walking into her salon, I know I will be greeted with a smile and a cup of water or tea while we discuss my hair goals for that appointment. She actually listens when you ask her for just a trim.. and the way she cuts my hair it looks great whether I air-dry my hair or style it. Her scalp massages are amazing and so relaxing. If you need hair product recommendations she always knows what will work with your hair texture and has taught me how to properly blow dry and curl my hair. The past few months have been difficult for me and I really wanted a change.. so I decided to change my hair color. First time dying my hair so I always knew I would only trust my hair color with Sonia. I showed her my Pinterest inspiration board and based on my skin tone she mixed the perfect color. I really appreciated that she took her time with our color consultation because I felt confident that she would make my hair dreams come true. I was very happy with the end result and have received many compliments! I always recommend Sonia for haircuts, color and her amazing blowouts that last 3 days! Thank you Sonia for being my hairstylist!

    Sonia is an absolute guru at her craft! :)) I came to her with hopes of turning my rusty orange, unnaturally blonde hair into something else-- even as a new client with an incomplete idea of what I wanted my hair to be, Sonia was committed to reaching an understanding that we could both get behind. I posted a couple photos here, and as you can see the goal was to make me look less orange/bleachish, and instead naturally blonde. Boom, she nailed it. Also she has good music, she's an awesome, dedicated, funny, accommodating, joyful person who has coffee candy. I love my hair and I 100% recommend you go to Sonia, no more making hair decisions with eyes closed and fingers crossed- Sonia is a sure thing.

    Such a great one-on-one experience for my daughter. Sonia was so patient and helpful for her first time color. Sonia is always professional and knows her craft which shows right away. She went over everything and was determined to make sure my daughter was completely happy with her color/cut and knew how to maintain it. Always good for teens just starting out.

    Sonia is beyond amazing!!! I haven't had a hair cut in over a year, but she revived my flat, dry hair back to life! I've never been to a hair stylist that was so attentive to detail, asked me a lot of questions about my hair routine, & took the time to explain everything she was doing. I already booked my next appointment with her & cannot wait to be back! I would 200% recommend her to anyone!

    Wonderful! Sonia is very guest focused and will make sure you are happy with your cut or color. She has an artistic eye and takes pride in her work.

    balayage! I love it!

    Sonia is amazing! I have been with her for a year and a half and she's amazing when it comes to color. I have naturally very curly hair so it tends to be dry, but with her amazing products my hair looks and feels very healthy. I have had bad dye jobs that fried my hair and made my hair looks frizzy and damaged. The only solution was chopping it off. Thankfully I found someone who can color my hair and still keep it healthy. And the great blow-out is the cherry on top. A must for someone looking for good color job that won't be damaging. #balayage #curlygirls #soniamichellesalon #pasadena

    Absolutely love Sonia, she makes me look and feel like a million bucks! I went to Sonia before the pandemic hit and my hair stayed healthy and beautiful during the whole quarantine. So excited to finally go back for a refreshing chop! If you're looking for perfectly natural California look, Sonia is your girl!

    Sonia seriously never disappoints! Four reasons why I keep coming back....... 1) Her pricing is reasonable and fair 2) She makes every visit personal, like you are just catching up with a friend 3) She only uses the best hair products to give you the healthiest hair possible 4) She listens to exactly what kind of hairstyle you are looking for, and what will best fit into your daily routine #colorgloss #balayage #soniamichellesalon #simplythebest

    I waited about 5 months before going in to see Sonia again since my last review and this is how my hair looks now. No touch ups, no glosses, and no bleaching; just a trim and a hair treatment and my hair still looks amazing. Thank you Sonia for your amazing products and skill.

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.
