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.

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.

She keeps it real and doesn't try to sell you anything you don't need like the trending glass toners on Tik tok.

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. Since I happened to be in the area, I thought "why not?" and I'm really glad I did because it turned out to be such a pleasant experience.

I told Melissa he's a high schooler and also needs a sustainable cut/style. I should have never walked away leaving my underage kid there. I was really counting on Melissa to figure out if the look he wanted was possible with his hair texture after she got in his hair. When my kiddo came out, he had a fro with undefined curls, I was shocked and I could tell that my son was not happy. He said he thought there would be further styling or cutting but that did not happen. My teen doesn't quite yet have his voice to speak up. Needless to say when we got home, he was in tears and he had to stay home instead of going to a dinner event. I called the salon the next day and spoke to Angie. I sent her the pictures of what he wanted and what he ended up with. She said they would find a solution immediately. However it's been over a week of text messages that have not been returned. None of my voice mails have been returned. I even walked in to the salon and Angie was out to lunch. I was told Nicole would call me back. That has not happened. I managed to talk to Angie and she promised she would talk to Nicole that day and get me a response. It's now been over 7 days and this has not been resolved. We walked away paying Melissa $345 including tip. And another $100 in products. Seems like we need a call back and definitely need a redo which they advertise as their policy if there is unsatisfactory service or a refund. I hope that if Melissa reads this or the owners, they might consider growing a conscience in the treatment we have received.

The blowout was rough and he was aggressive with my hair, couldn't get it straight, and it was obvious I was in pain. Wanted to get up and walk out the entire time, and honestly should have. Went home, washed my hair, and redid it myself. Paying $70 for that experience was not okay. I don't write bad reviews often, but felt I had to warn others.

I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!

Julianne has been my stylist for years and I wouldn't trust my hair color and style to anyone else! I get consistent compliments on my color. Even when I am slow about getting in for a touch-up, it grows out beautifully, and that's a huge bonus when life gets hectic. Having been a client of Julianne's for so long now, it means when I'm sitting in her chair, it's like visiting with a friend. I also know if I ever wanted to change up my look, Julianne would be the first person I'd go to--she has a knack for bringing out a person's best qualities. Recently I was having some problems with build-up in my hair that shampoo and conditioner were making worse. She recommended some great products for me that have completely reversed that situation and are keeping my freshly colored hair looking its best. Can't say enough good things about Julianne. I'm so lucky she works at a beautiful salon that's close to me! read more

I got my balayage ombre done with Julianne Favela, and it turned out fantastic (2 sessions total)! All my friends complimented me, and each time they saw me again at another event, they would ask "is it lighter than before??" to which I always took it as a compliment haha. I went to the salon at Union Salon South in Pasadena where she works. The scheduling was also very easy, and you can do it online! :) The stylist herself was also very fun to talk to, I remember talking to her a little bit about my personal love life, lols. It's always nice when you get to chat and connect with a stylist while they're doing your hair! Give Julianne a try, she's super nice and super chilled. Definitely very professional in what she does. By the way, she gives awesome scalp massages when she's washing your hair! :D read more

I've been seeing Julianne for both my own hair and my 7 year olds hair for 4 years! She's incredible i will tell you why. For me, it's took me decades to find someone who actually listens to what i want done and when i ask for what i want done, if it's impossible and something i need to grow into Julianne tells me so. I leave her with exactly what i hope for coming in for a cut. And if you are like me you know how rare that is for 4 consecutive years. My son, well i have taken him into children's salons a few times, and it had never come close to the excitement he has going to see Julianne. He loves her company, her scalp massages and how she does his hair. Both me and him are constantly asked where we go and that says a lot. read more

I've been seeing Julianne for at least 3 years now and she does everything for me! She does my cut, color and brazilian blowouts. Although I live by west LA, I'll still make the hour long drive to and from union salon to see her! So about my hair--I have extremely thick and frizzy hair but she always manages to make it look amazing, even as the haircut grows out. Also, the brazilian blowouts are a lifesaver. I try to do them a few times a year, especially before I travel because of the unruly nature of my hair, it really cuts down on the time and effort needed to make my hair look at least decent. Julianne is super sweet and easy to talk to, I always look forward to my hair appointments! read more

Before our appointment she was amazing at communicating and going over my photo inspiration while also giving me some positive feedback and styling suggestions. She turned my black box dyed hair into a vibrant rasberry red which I am obsessed with, and have received endless compliments on. . Products: A huge plus to note is the quality products she uses, the hair color brand she carries is ammonia free, eco- certified and organic and checks so many more boxes in the realm of sustainability and transparency. Looking good doesnt have to be a bad thing, and I'm so happy that I found a stylist who is aware and cares about the products she uses.

Highly recommend if you're looking for great service in a calm, welcoming space.

She has always listened with deep care to what it is I'm seeking and has intentionally cut my hair to reflect that vision. Before finding Christine, I really struggled to find a stylist that accomplished this. She is incredibly skilled, patient, an excellent listener and she is kind. For many of us, including myself, our hair is a large part of our identity and sense of self. Christine and her staff at Materie truly understand this and have integrated what they do to celebrate that. I've recommended her to countless friends who have all felt the same.

I've been going to Christine for over 15 years, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my…read morehair. She always listens to what I want and somehow makes it even better than I imagined. Whether it's a simple trim or a completely new style, like a bob,,, I always leave feeling confident and happy with the results. Christine is talented, consistent, and truly cares about her clients. Highly recommend! Tip: shes great with thick hair, bobs, color, and overall style.

I've been seeing Emily for several years. This review is long overdue! She's also very friendly, punctual and will give you her direct cell number so you can make an appointment with her. She is also fun to talk to while getting your hair done ! I'm so glad I found Emily Hang!

In two different occasions, I saw two of my friends after they had their hair styled by Emily…read more OMG! I am not kidding - they both looked at least 10 years younger, and they both looked much more energetic. Emily has been a hair specialist for a very long time. She has been working in both San Marino area and South Pasadena area. During my first visit, I noticed she spent time to observe my personal feature as well as my personality to decide what hair style fitted me the best while she was talking to me to figure out what I wanted. Then, she explained her recommendations in details. She also taught me how to take care of my hair efficiently, to make it look good again after I wash it. Guess what? After I washed my hair and I did exactly what she suggested, magically, my hair style was almost as good as I just come out from Emily's salon. I am so glad I met Emily.

I have A LOT of really thick (creative colored) Asian Hair, and most stylists don't know how to…read morework with it. Finding Rae was a game changer and is worth every penny! She consistently gives me the most amazing razor-cut shags that don't require the extra curling and blow-drying I've seen other stylists have to do to make it even resemble a shag. I can wake up, put some Hairstory products in, and I'm good to go. The way Rae cuts my hair gives it texture and shape, making it less bulky and complimenting my round face. She also gives me the most fantastic curtain bangs, fringe, and wings to flip out my hair. I recently took a new driver's license photo, and thanks to Rae's haircut, it was the first DMV picture I didn't massively hate. She's trained by Jayne from Edo, the Shag Queen that you've probably seen all over Instagram and TikTok, but it doesn't cost a fortune. Plus, Rae is the nicest, most down-to-earth stylist, so it's always good to see her, and the space in Highland Park is very chill. I've definitely been to IG famous hairstylists that made me feel like I was beneath them and gave me a super underwhelming cut. I'm more than happy to make the drive from South LA to Highland Park because Rae's cuts are that good and when I'm out, I always get a lot of compliments on my hair, too.

Even after four years, I still have a bad feeling about this hairdresser when she somehow comes…read moreacross my digital world. After my first and only appointment, she left me with bangs that had some strange long pieces on one side that went over and kept poking in my eye. Not only did it not look right aesthetically (others later confirmed what I was seeing), it was physically annoying. Although everything else was great as far as the cut, this was clearly an oversight that, for whatever reason, neither of us did noticed at the time of the appointment. Frankly, although Rae does not charge as much as many very expensive hair stylists, she is *not* inexpensive and this was the most that I've ever paid for a haircut. I felt that I should not have to correct anything myself plus I did not want to mess with her work at all. After contacting her about this very small matter, as I was willing to make the effort to go back to her to have this corrected, she ghosted me. Instead of being agreeable and embodying all of the positive things she purports to believe in and represent via her Instagram page, she apparently decided that I would be "a difficult client." (And apparently this is a thing with hairdressers, as I found mention of this on a hairdressing professionals site.) There was absolutely no consideration for my feelings. I am far from a difficult client. But the client should be happy, and she could've done a couple of snips and that would've been that. Instead... After receiving no reply via phone after leaving her a couple of messages, I finally had to find her on Instagram and sent her a photo of my obviously uneven bangs. Apparently now fearing that I would post something negative to her account or leave a bad review somewhere, she offered to refund the entire cost of the haircut rather than make this quick fix. I was floored. While happy to not have to end up paying my hard-earned money to someone who basically was cruel to me via her respect for only her feelings with none for me, I knew that she was paying me off. As I didn't want to spend any more time or energy on this or her, she's been successful with that until now. But she's come up again, and I can see all of these great reviews and the feelings of rejection have returned. So I must be such an asshole to deserve to be treated like one, right? No. Our session together was perfectly normal, and Rae just cannot accept that she could make such a small oversight and that a client may not be 100% happy with her work--i.e. she exists beyond reproach. She's an artist, mind you! If you can be happy with that, yes she does good work and it seems that most of the time she gets it right with clients (particularly if they have lots of Instagram followers, I suspect but cannot ascertain) or they just don't bother or feel comfortable mentioning any dissatisfaction. I just don't like people thinking they can treat others like trash because they are an artist in some high-priced field. It's a fucking haircut attached to a human being. Just be a nice person and have some grace.
