A Long Overdue Review for a Brentwood Gem - Azalia Beauty Salon…read more After more than 30 years of being a loyal client, I can confidently say that Azalia Beauty Salon in Brentwood is one of the most special places I've ever known -- and this review is long overdue. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed like family. That warmth and genuine hospitality have never changed, even as the years have passed. The atmosphere is always friendly, relaxed, and down-to-earth -- no pretense, just real people who truly care about their clients. Stefanie, the owner, is a remarkable woman whose passion and dedication shine through everything she does. As the daughter of immigrant parents who originally started the business decades ago, she has carried on their legacy with grace and heart. You can feel that history and love in every detail of the salon. What makes Azalia truly stand out isn't just the excellent hair services (which are consistently top-notch) -- it's the people. Stefanie and her team treat everyone with kindness and respect. You're not just a customer here; you're part of something that feels like home. I've never written a review before, but after three decades of nothing but positive experiences, it felt only right to finally share how much this place means to me. If you're looking for a salon where you'll be valued, listened to, and made to feel at ease every single time, Azalia is it. Thank you, Stefanie, for continuing your family's beautiful legacy and for creating a space that has meant so much to so many of us over the years. -- A grateful longtime client

First the good...very accommodating in terms of scheduling after-hours or last minute. Jun is…read morepleasant in personality. Now the criticism. This was my first visit to Jun. So being unfamiliar with his skills, I showed him a video of the cut I wanted and asked before booking an appointment if this is something he could do since what I wanted was not an easy ask. He said yes. My end result frankly looks nothing like what I showed him. I've had my hair colored before to cover my grays (admittedly about 7 years ago...before the pandemic). I never really did the highlighting thing (which is what Jun did this time around). I was instructed to purchase "purple shampoo" to ensure the highlights don't get too brassy. I went with a good brand (Paul Mitchell). I don't know if it were the highlighting or the shampoo but all I can say is that I started losing my hair (and we're talking half of my hair in a month's time span). I based this on how much thinner my ponytail's girth is compared to previously. I didn't have any chemical at the roots so I'm not entirely sure if the cause was the bleaching chemical used, the shampoo, stress and/or menopause (I should mention however that I went through menopause unusually early, 15 years ago at 43). I lost as much hair as I did shortly after having a baby. The difference then though is, I didn't lose any hair during the pregnancy; as such, by the end of my pregnancy, I had about 3 times the volume I normally do. So even though, I lost a lot of hair during this postpartum period, it wasn't as alarming as losing a lot of hair that wasn't voluminous to begin with. If you've ever been pregnant, you can relate to what I'm sharing. Now the average person would have given Jun a 1-star. I chose to give him a 3-star review because I cannot say with absolute certainty the cause of my hair loss was Jun's doing. I can only say it's an interesting coincidence that it happened the first time I washed my hair after visiting the salon. I stopped using the shampoo I purchased and it did not remedy the hair loss. My main criticism is that what I ended up with looks NOTHING like the video I showed him. He did a good job with the cut so even though I was disappointed, I didn't fret too much. Would I have paid $350 for what I got (cut, highlights, styling & gratuity)? No. But I gave him a decent tip regardless because he had stayed late to accommodate my sense of urgency. I had an event I was attending a couple of days later. So I coughed it up to lesson learned.
