My daughter got her hair trimmed by Stephen. He's a gem! He was very sweet and warm with her. She wanted to try a diamond undercut. Stephen did a very good job at helping her out with her hair desires. The adorable LA bungalow that he works in is intimate and inviting. Highly recommend! read more

This talented man gave me the PERFECT curtain bangs, which is a very tall order and has never happened before. They were perfect from the start and have grown out beautifully in the last few months. Even when I don't style them (which I usually don't) ! I never want to go to anyone else! read more

Stephen does not do exactly what you want. My mom came in for a haircut and new exactly what she wanted and showed him a picture and he said " I don't think it would look good on you". He had a chip on his shoulder and was not very personable. I walked out to prevent an argument. My mom walked out of there with hardly anything done. When we came in we told him we had a Groupon and he said " I know already" it seemed that it annoyed him. If he doesn't like Groupons then don't do business with GROUPON as easy as that but don't treat your customers with less respect because we have a Groupon. If you are not happy cutting hair then retire- YOUR ready ! What an ugly attitude! Not coming here ever again. read more

Amazing experience! Stephen does exactly what you tell him you want, as we've all had those stylists who always do what they want! Very happy with my cut and blow dry! He listened to what I want and gave me a great salon experience. I would definitely come back again! read more

Loved Stephen. First time customer. Brought my daughter to get her hair cut for homecoming. She loved it and teenagers are very particular. I definitely would recommend Stephen. Its nice to finally have a stylist you can trust. read more

Stephen 4 Hair - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

Easy scheduling via text, cute salon with surprisingly easy to find non-metered street parking (although timed so be careful if you'll be with him longer), friendly and, most importantly, skilled! I have wavy Asian hair and all of my life I resisted the waves and straightened the heck out of it or wore it up. Stephen gave my hair a nice wash and then cut away! I like his honesty/bluntness and the cut and style was fast but amazing! I've been wearing my hair down almost every day and love seeing the various waves that my hair has. I have abundant hair and a slightly crazy life and he cut it so it's light and easy to manage as I have received lots of compliments.. which all belong to Stephen! He's also easy to talk to and leads an interesting life, definitely recommended read more

Headed to Cabo for my birthday and decided last minute I wanted to get a cute, carefree do. I'm new to the area, so Groupon made sense as I could try out a new stylist with a great price. With only two days, I panicked thinking I might not find someone with an opening. Reviews mean a lot to me, so after I found Stephen was near me, I checked out his reviews which were stellar. It was between two stylists and the two things that actually tipped me to Stephen were all the reviews about how great a talent he was and his one negative review. When I read the negative review, what stood out was not that it had anything to do with his talent with hair, but that these people were willing to drive a long way to come back to him. That did it for me. I am always willing to drive a distance once I found a great stylist. I called with my panicked plea, ie: birthday, trip etc., not only did he call me back, he really wanted to fit me in and make it work. That meant so much to me. I was flexible and so was he. It was a win, win! His first opening time didn't work, but the fact he was working so hard to make it work, really told me a lot about the kind of person he was. I love a stylist with a plan. My hair is bleach damaged, fine, and a bit like cotton candy. I didn't exactly know what I wanted, but he did and I LOVED THAT! He listened to me, got a feel for what I thought might work and then he told me what he thought. I knew he knew what he was doing. OMGoodness, my cut is EXACTLY what I had envisioned - cute, carefree, my curls encouraged, etc. He did exactly what I was never able to communicate, but he knew. He's adorable, awesome personality and VERY TALENTED! Stephen is the kind of stylist who gets to know you and will be your stylist for life. I know this review is long, but Stephen is worth it! Thank you Stephen for being you! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, MY HAIR! read more

One of the worst haircuts I have ever received. Would never go back and do not recommend. He was not very welcoming and cut my hair a lot shorter than I asked and it came out very uneven and choppy. It looks like I tried to cut my own hair with my eyes closed. Do not come here! read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. When arriving there was no parking and I was late for 10 minutes and the man accused me of being a liar and was literally leaving his house when I arrived and refused service. Such a bad attitude and unprofessional! I've never gotten such bad service in my life. There's no way I would let that man touch my hair. Please save your time and money and go to a salon instead. read more

I cannot recommend Stephen more highly! He is the only stylist who has made my 2A curls look good with my absolute resolution to have a low maintenance routine (aka using only drugstore products and going to bed with wet hair after evening workouts). By some voodoo magic he is able to define my curls whether I have them long or short. I've waited months and paid $100+ for haircuts that leave my hair sad and frizzy. After 5+ years, I have resolved that he is worth the 2 hour drive from San Diego. I have also converted my mom and sister in that time even though we all have very different styles and needs. He truly is talented and so easy to gab with to boot. read more

OKAY. So, I wait a really long time to post my reviews for haircuts because I like to see how the cut holds up and blossoms over time, and now that it has been three months, I can definitively say that STEPHEN IS ABOUT AS KICK-ASS AS IT GETS. I have very fine hair, and I came in and asked him to give me an a-line bob with as much volume as possible. I was skeptical, but he's a magician, and I'm now obsessed with this cut. I have always styled my hair a certain way, but I'm sold on this new cut, and I cannot wait to come back and get it again. So, in conclusion, if you want a hilarious, detail-oriented, salon wizard, for totally reasonably priced hair shenanigans....this is your guy. Idk if you remember me Stephen (tiny Italian lesbian), but I'll be back soon to profess my love in person (and get another haircut). read more

This guy is a miracle worker! My hair is wavy, relatively thick, and rather long. I was over my long hair that, because of the weight, flattened my hair up top and frizzed at the bottom. I wanted to chop it all off and was terrified as I've had some horrible hair cuts before. But Stephen has a talent for curly/wavy hair! My hair looks AMAZING! Thaaaaank you! read more

Well, I DID like Stephen but we're done going there. My boyfriend scheduled a 7:30 appt and yes, we were late because he was driving from Cerritos but we pull in- lights are out and we had a text from Stephen saying he left because he had other plans that night. SERIOUSLY?! The last time my fiance went to see him he had to patiently wait about 20 mins AFTER HIS APPT for Stephen to finish cutting his other customers hair. He did it. He didn't complain. He sat around waiting for Stephen to finish. I understand time is valuable but the double standard is NOT COOL AT ALL. We've decided to not go back. He's already found another hair salon that he loves even more, who did a great job and is MUCH cheaper. read more

Stephen Whitt is by far the best colorist and stylist I have ever come across. Not only does he really take into mind the shape of your face and coloring of your skin, he also allows for some playfulness as well. His cuts are so good they last a very long time. Any time he does my hair I receive compliments. I have been seeing him for years. On top of the talent he possesses, he is also extremely personable. It's fun to get my hair done by him because it's like visiting with an old friend. Hours fly by with laughter, and in the end I look gorgeous - all thanks to Stephen. I adore him. You must get your hair done by him. You will not regret it. read more

Stephen is excellent. He's on time, knows what he's doing (the results are great) and loads of fun to talk to.

Another 5 stars for Stephen! He listens, understands curly hair, and gave a great cut! Also, he's just a blast to talk to. I will be back, and you should go too. read more

I've just moved to Pasadena and when I needed a haircut I found Stephen on Yelp. He was very helpful over the phone when I made the appointment and had various questions. I went in to get my haircut earlier today. I can be somewhat finicky about how I want it cut. Stephen patiently listened to my LONG rant and then took the time to cut it just right, occasionally pausing to make sure he was cutting it correctly. He's very easy going and will definitely be my stylist going forward while I live in Pasadena. read more

I absolutely loved Stephen... From the moment I walked in he was very welcoming and sweet... I usually am very picky when it comes to my hair and he chopped off my hair and cut it the way I pictured it.. I am definitely bringing more friends... Thanks Stephen :) read more

Stephen was a delight from beginning to end of my appointment. He was on-time, helpful with parking, thorough with confirming times and is a master at his craft of hair styling, coloring, and design. I won't need to look any further!:) read more

Love Stephen! I purchased a Groupon for a haircut and went about a month ago. He was 1) on time; 2) really fun to talk to; and 3) knew what haircut would be best for the shape of my face and current status of my hair. Unfortunately, because of chemotherapy treatments, I've been losing a ton of hair and/or having my hair break extremely easy. Stephen recommended a hair style to get my hair looking healthy as well as recommended a shampoo/conditioner (nioxin) for me to use to build up my hair growth. It's been over a month and my haircut still looks super cute and because of the shampoo/conditioner recommendation, I feel my hair is getting stronger. I definitely recommend going to Stephen! read more

I have now been going to Stephen Whitt since last summer for cut and color, and have even recommended him to friends and coworkers! His cuts are beautiful and consistent each time, and I feel thankful to have found him!! He is also very patient with color consultation, and works with you to achieve your best look!! I feel lucky to have found a great hairstylist who is talented, knowledgeable, honest and a pleasure to talk to:) read more

Stephen is such a nice guy, and he is very professional. I went to him for a keratin smoothing treatment, and I'm so glad I did! He uses the healthier products and does not believe in harsh chemicals. The salon is very inviting and clean, and I didn't feel like he was rushing or just trying to get all my money. Very reasonable and sweet, highly recommend! read more

Stephen is great. I have very curly hair and he knew exactly how to tackle it. My hair looks fabulous! Not to mention, he's funny and easy to talk to. I plan on going to him regularly. Go to Stephen!! read more

Stephen has colored/styled my hair for years (more than I care to remember). On a friend's recommendation, I trusted him with my hard to tame hair and he delivered from the first time! He is a master with color, and knew exactly what I wanted when even I had a hard time knowing myself. But more importantly - his haircuts were absolutely the BEST! Easy to manage, fabulous, and long lasting. And can I tell you just how much fun he is? So many of my friends ended up being his clients until he moved away. We miss Stephen in Chicago. SoCal is lucky to have such an incredible professional! read more

Today is my first visit and Stephen gave me an a appointment at 4:15pm. I texted him that I will be there by 4:00 . I reached by 4:10 and I waited for 45 mins. He didn't turned up and I texted him as well but no response . I called him and left a voice message as well. He called later and rescheduled later read more

Stephen is my all-time favorite stylist. I saw him for the first time more than 15 years ago, and I always left feeling 1) beautiful and 2) tired from all of the laughing :) For someone like me, who never has an idea of what I want in a haircut/ style/ color, he is a perfect stylist. He listens, takes into account lifestyle (ok, in my case, laziness), face shape, and personal style - and delivers a look perfectly suited to the individual, all while making you feel comfortable and keeping you smiling and laughing. Please go see him - you'll be so very glad you did! read more

Took a chance and hit GOLD! Stephen knew exactly what I wanted and I am very picky! I am middle aged but do NOT want to have my hair look show my age. He cut my straight hair sophisticated but sexy! Not only do I love my look, I get compliments....how great is that? Thank you Stephen!!! read more

Stephen is a great stylist and colorist. He listens to what you want, what you worry about, what you only hope for. And, then he does an outstanding job making your dream a reality! He's also a funny, caring, charming guy. I went to him first nearly 15 years ago, and visit whenever I'm in the same town. You can't do better! read more

Stephen is the best stylist and colorist I have ever used. For four wonderful years, I had the perfect hair cut and the perfect hair color and I enjoyed every minute I sat in his chair. He is the best at what is does, a complete professional, but he is down to earth and makes every one feel like a friend. It was a very sad day for me when Stephen moved from New Orleans to California, but very lucky for all of you who find him there. He is truly one of the best in the business. If I ever have the opportunity to travel to Pasadena, I will definitely will find the time to make an appointment. No one does hair better than Stephen. read more

Stephen has an awesome eye for color! As a woman of color, with relaxed hair, I was very nervous about coloring my hair. However, the grey was too much! Stephen found some beautiful colors that not only highlighted my face but maintained my conservative appearance. Ladies, he's the one! read more

I've been getting my hair done by Stephen for one year now. My hair never looked better. I drive 30 miles to see him and it's well worth it. Not only is he the best colorist, he has a wonderful sense of humor which makes every appointment fun. Highly recommended!! read more
