    I showed Peggy this photo and she made it happen
    Cynthia L.

    First off, just a quick reminder: -appointments only. This salon is not for "on the whim" kind of folks. You have the plan ahead and call for an appointment if you want your hair serviced. -Street parking plus there's a small lot in the back. I was always able to find parking on the street. -Haircut for my long, thick hair ranges have been increased from $35-38 to $45+. As of Feb 2016, my haircut cost me $45 (not including tip.) My hair is super long, almost down to my waist and super thick! -Peggy doesn't work on Wednesdays. In fact, I think the salon is closed Wednesdays. -They wash your hair before getting it cut. No ifs ands or buts. Even if you have washed your hair the night before, doesn't matter. They'll wash it again for you. Peggy gives such GREAT SCALP MASSAGES!!!!!! I was in pure bliss!! I tried to find a hair stylist in Las Vegas. I really did. After countless trial & errors and almost leaving disappointed/traumatized everytime, I figured I may as well go back to my roots. Good ol San Gabriel Valley; hair salons catered towards Asian textured hair. I showed a picture to Peggy of how I wanted my hair to look. (see pic attached). She explained everything to me before she even took the scissors out. I wanted my hair to be thinned out, long layers but still keeping most of my length. Long story short, she did exactly what I asked for! For once in my life, my hair came out like how I envisioned it to be. Very pleased. And Peggy is such a sweetheart. I haven't been to this salon in over 2 years and she still remembers me. =) Very personable too. She'll talk to you if you wanna chat up a storm but there's also PLENTYYYYYY of current gossip magazines for you to browse through if you're not in a talking mood. And by current, I mean like magazines a month or less old. None of these "October 2013 issue" when we're two months in to 2016.

    Loved: *Kim dried my hair before she truly cut my hair. * she asked if I wanted my hair straight or curled when she was done. *she was very nice and friendly. Dislike: *staff washing my hair with gloves. Maybe its because I've never had my hair washed with gloves before. Besides that, I've just had better hair washes before. Usually it's more of a massage and the digging that makes it feel oh so good. @ beauty code it was more patting. *my bangs did not turn out good. She couldn't get it to cooperate so finally she just told me it'll grow and advised me to use hair spray. To fix this I pulled out more hair from the side and used hair spray and a Bobby pin. Imagine a comb over. Kim asked me how i wanted my hair which was really great. i was indecisive on getting a bang trim or to grow it out and was hoping to get more of a professional advice. she didn't give me too much advice and seemed to just do what i asked. which is a good and bad. Overall, it was my most expensive hair cut. It is partially my fault because I only asked for a one inch trim and a bang trim. But for the price and cut I don't think it was worth it especially that my bangs were ruined. 3 stars for beauty code being a-okay. tips: *Private parking lot or street parking. *Cash and credit card accepted. *Appointment is a must. *Plenty of gossip magazine for you to read. *staff speaks chinese and english. *front and back entrance.

    I was recommended Kim by a friend when I was looking for a new stylist because I move from OC To Pasadena area. It's always nerve racking to try to find a new stylist... girls you know what I mean? Finding someone you can trust. You can be wearing a bag but if your hair looks good you feel good! Hair is a girls favorite accessory. When I walked in the modest cute salon, I had a good feeling. The salon hold 3 stylists so it has the intimate feeling but nice decor details. Kim greeted me and as soon as I sat down in the chair, she made me feel comfortable. Kim is really good at listening to what you want, has a great attention to detail, and you can tell she really enjoys her job - making people's hair look amazing. She listened to my ideas and gave great advice. She gave me exactly what I wanted. I am very happy with her work and will definitely be going back! I'm so happy to find a hairstylist closer to where I live. Try Kim, she's great!

    I found thee best hairdresser ever! Thanks to Kim I have blond hair I've wanted. I came in to her for a color correction after going to several hair salons to achieve a rooted blond. My hair was a mess of different color bands and no one was willing to try and correct it to one solid color. Kim definitely delivered, she reset my color as best as she could without causing damage or breakage. My hair is sooo pretty now and I get tons and tons of compliments every day, I'm so thankful!

    Free parking and closed on Wednesdays

    Psssst... what's the code? Beauty Code Salon in San Gabriel! Managing my long hair is high maintenance which means finding a hair stylist is always a daunting task. No more because I found the beauty code: Peggy! On the same day, I called for a haircut appointment and she was able to fit me into her schedule. When I stepped into the salon, I noticed it was clean which is a good measurement of an establishment. Peggy came to me and we immediately hugged liked old friends. She assessed my hair type and previous style and consulted on what we expected from the cut before any scissors touched me. We looked at pictures and agreed how much to cut so there were no awkward surprises at the end. Her philosophy was to cut just enough on my initial visit and thereafter, we could explore more lengths. No Edward Scissorhands attitude here! The magic began with a wash that could put an insomniac to sleep. Alex, the assistant, gently shampooed and massaged my hair twice deserved five stars just by himself. Peggy completed the conditioning process and I scored another scalp massage! At the beginning of the cut, she checked in with me and asked if I was okay with the length. The first cut began with my hair wet and then she completed it after she dried it off to check on the layers. Using at least three different scissors and three styling tools, her techniques proved her worthiness as a pro. She shared some styling secrets which will be invaluable for my upkeep. Not only does Peggy have a trained eye, she knows her reputation is on the line because her goal is to make you look and feel beautiful. The salon is located on Las Tunas Drive and has plenty of free parking. They accept credit cards and closed on Wednesdays. My cut was $45 which included: consultation, wash, cut, style and a great feeling inside and out. Know the code....Peggy!

    Left: hair straight | Right: hair curled   Recent balayage done by Kim. Reached level 9 (top) and level 11 (bottom).

    Finally wrote a review even though I have been going to Kim almost 3 years now. Love her! As a creative artist, she cares about her work. Given that I have a lot of hair, balayage can take 6-10 hrs. She have gone through my entire hair, painting strand by strand. You can see how much effort she puts in with the picture attached. Note: My hair has been a 2 year project for Kim and I. From having black to blonde hair, Kim educated me every step of the way (i.e the process, how to maintain my color, hair treatments, products recommendation). As a result, my hair still looks great after 3 months. I've recommended many friends to Kim and they all love her. Also, Kim is great at cutting and curling hairs!

    Another 5-star haircut and customer service by Peggy! Super happy and excited with the cut!

It was about 3:30pm when I came in, and no one else was there, which I Iliked since that allowed Ched to take his time with my hair. However, no sooner I did a check in and got into the chair for shampooing, three other women decided to show up and wanting their hair done too, lol! Hahaha, I brought Ched extra business on a slow Friday afternoon ;) Ched gave me a great scalp massage while shampooing my hair. After he applied conditioner, it got slippery and water sprayed all over. Luckily, I I wasn't soaked, and Ched was very apologetic from beginning to end, how sweet! :) Even though 3 women came in, Ched took his time with me, and didn't rush through. He asked me how I wanted my part, and covered up my lil hole on my top crown. He made my curls tight since my hair was baby fine and topped it off with Suave brand gel hairspray. My curls were awesome, and they held nicely throughout my friend's bday party. Best of all, when I came home and brushed it out before showering, it still looked amazing! *Sighs* had to brush it out otherwise, it'll look like a rat's nest in the morning, lol! The wash and curl took no more than 25 mins to do. Cost was $20 (not including tip). My curls were tight and intact with my baby fine hair. I did notice that unlike Drybar, Ched doesn't put mousse in there first, so some parts of curls were crunchy, but thank goodness not fried. However, my curls held up nicely, and so I was happy :) Located in the same plaza as Game Stop, Arby's and 99 Ranch Market in Alhambra. I would definitely come by again for a hair cut or wash and curl again, yay! :)

    So many red flags…read more If you have fine virgin hair, I strongly recommend avoiding a digital perm at this salon. My hair was past my waistline when I arrived. The stylist insisted it was far too long and said a significant cut was necessary. I trusted her professional judgment, expecting a healthy trim, but nearly half my hair was cut off. The haircut itself felt rushed and uneven, seemingly done to accommodate the perm rather than with care for overall shape or length. Midway through my appointment, a previous client returned visibly upset, saying her hair did not look permed. While I didn't hear every detail, it immediately raised concerns, concerns that ultimately became my own. Throughout the service, my stylist repeatedly emphasized that my hair was "too fine," that there weren't enough curlers for my hair, and that more hair needed to be cut. If she believed a digital perm would not work on my hair type, she should have been honest from the start and declined the service. The end result: my hair feels fried, is significantly shorter than expected, and shows no real signs of a perm. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this salon. Additional notes: * The smell of cigarettes from the staff smoking heavily fills the salon. I left with a headache, and the combination of cigarette smoke and perm chemicals was overwhelming. * Stylists spoke aggressively in another language, appearing to argue about my service, which felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. * If you discovered this salon through TikTok and were impressed by how attentive they appeared (offering water, snacks, etc.), be aware that this level of service is not consistent. Unless you appear to be a social media personality. Paying over $400 plus tip for this experience was deeply disappointing.
