    My hairdresser, who I'd been seeing for 10 years, was losing steam. Dissatisfied with the way he'd been coiffing me lately, it was definitely time for a change. So I decided to consult with the people at The Gates Salon to see if they could help me with my hairdo dilemma. OMG...I was paired with the COOLEST stylist ever! When I walked in, Gina introduced herself to me and began by giving me a tour of the salon. Then I sat in her chair and we discussed my hair issue. She was very attentive to questions that I had and gave great suggestions on the type of style that would work for me. She also gave me tips on how to maintain my new hairstyle (in plain English) and the products I should use in doing so. As a result, I walked out of there with a cool new 'do! Couldn't wait to go home and show the husband - I was feeling quite sexy. Thanks to Gina, I have found a new salon. Besides haircuts, The Gates also provides skincare services and manicures & pedicures. They also have an entire corner in the salon dedicated to hair and skin products. YEAH!

    What an experience! First off, I loved that the salon was located right in the heart of downtown Pasadena. The decor captures the essence of Pasadena's charm. As to the services themselves, I couldn't have been more pleased. Even though I was simply getting a standard men's cut, I was still treated to the full service experience as they washed and conditioned my hair, offered me drinks, cut my hair, and styled it. Michel was a great conversationalist. Most importantly, the cut was exactly what I was looking for. If you are even close to the shop, you should try to get in and enjoy the experience.

    I went in to have my hair dyed lighter after being strictly dark brown to black. I had never bleached my hair and usually don't splurge on myself when it comes to my hair. Right away, I was greeted by my stylist, Jerry Wang. He listen to my request of wanting the newer trend bayalage. He really took his time to make sure everything was perfect. Jerry was so confident and at ease with his work it put my nerves to rest. He also made sure I was comfortable brought me water and magazines. I will most defiantly be coming back!!! Thank you!!!

    The service here was great and neat! I love it and l'd love to come another time. At first my hairs color was a mess. It was a mixture of different colors! Then I came to Jerry and he did an amazing job beautifying my hair. He is the best stylist that I ever met! Here are some pictures to show you his wonderful job on my hair.

    Michel did a dark subtle balayage for me today, and I am AMAZED with how natural and blended the highlights are.

    I always love coming to Facile, located in The Commons, a cute area in Pasadena next to…read morerestaurants and shops, is one of the best spa experiences I've ever had. They offer a range of treatments including facial cosmetics and top notch facials. Everyone that works there is professional and excellent at the service they provide. The store itself is clean and modern, and has a calm vibe that's always kept immaculately clean. I've had the privilege of esthetician, Jenna do a few facials and skin treatments for me this year. Not only is she very knowledgeable about different skin concerns, and facial products, so goes into each facial with care and intention. She goes above and beyond to make the experience feel special from start to finish. From cleaning the face, to a gentle touch extraction, applying a hydrating and calming masks, using only top of the line products. My favorite add on's are the diamond glow, derma-planing and red light. Jenna efficiently provides these add ons for the best results within the facial time. She also has a skilled touch with the face, neck and shoulder massage. Leaving after her facial, you'll not only feel pampered and relaxed, but also loving the results. Each time afterwards my skin is super smooth, glowy and my pores and dullness diminish. It is a real treat / self care expense that is highly worth it. I highly recommend Jenna to do your next facial at Facile for the best possible experience and results. Also check her out on IG if you're curious! @esthie.Spinelli

    TLDR: give it a try! It's a great introductory to laser skin treatment. Do not expect overnight…read moreimmediate results. Staff is great! Don't be late! Let me preface by saying my skin is already pretty good; concerns are light acne scarring and large pores. My skin is clear and smooth for the most part thanks to my acne meds and receiving facials from an esthetician years prior to combat my acne. I saw the ad on Facebook for the first facial laser treatment to be 50$ and figured why not! Seems like a good deal. I was required to fill out medical information prior to my appointment which is standard, I've gotten a laser facial before (4 years ago now at a different place) and they want to make sure whatever you are on medication wise doesn't interact with the treatments. I received text reminders about my appointment and the day of I received a text with instructions on where to park and where they were located. I am familiar with Downtown Pasadena and know it can be a little busy so I made sure to get here early! The place itself is a small office so I can see why being on time is important. The interior was welcoming, the front staff was friendly, the decor is lively with semi private seating areas to have your consultation. I met with Dailee for my consultation and she was really sweet, informative and easy to talk to. She went over the treatments they offer along with membership promotions, it did not feel pushy at all. Bilal was my nurse. He was also informative and efficient in going over what the treatment would do, how it would feel, and how to care for my skin afterwards. Both Dailee and Bilal were upfront on treatments needing to be consistent to see a major difference. The laser treatment itself was very quick and painless. I have tough skin and it just felt like a hot compress was being wiped over my face. Afterwards Bilal rubbed in serum and SPF so I was good to go! For the next 24 hours gentle cleanser, gentle moisturizer and minimal sun contact. I am not able to commit to the memberships or consistency needed so I did not sign up. I also have skincare I already like using so I did not purchase any products. I do appreciated the information on products, treatments, and promotions they offer though, nothing felt pushy. I will absolutely be back to do a more intense treatment for my face and neck.

    Not for everyone. If it doesn't work for you, you still have to pay the monthly membership fee…read moreanyway. They ask for a tip after each service for at least $40 or so. It is run like a corporate chain and not personalized care. There isn't acknowledgment or concern whether it works or not and the upselling is real. The concept is good. Maybe try it and avoid the package. I'm glad it works for some people and wish it would have worked for us.

I felt so self-conscious... all I wanted to do was hide my face with a baseball cap and cover it up with makeup. She was my last hope cause I felt like I had done everything from trying different products to seeing a previous esthetician before her (she wasn't as helpful). So I had just about had it with my skin and I was starting to believe that I was just going to have to deal with my skin as is... Until I saw Fatima, she gave me advice on what products would best benefit my skin type and was helpful every step of the way! She texted me products that were within my price range and even gave me some health and diet tips to help balance out my skin. I immediately made a trip to Sephora to buy the products that she recommended me and I'm not even lying guys... within a WEEK my skin was looking and feeling so much better. It just made me realize I was using all the wrong products for myself and not being as conscious as to what I was putting into my body through food. To this day she constantly checks up on me and asks how my skin is doing and if I need any new products. She's the best and cares about ever single one of clients. If you have a chance definitely check her out! She made me feel comfortable about being in my own skin again, and if you guys have dealt with acne then you know there's no better feeling than gaining that confidence back Pictures are about a week apart!
