I'm still coming here many years later :)…read more Sammi has become my go-to hair stylist for my hair cutting and dying needs. I love that she can tailor my hair color based on my hair profile and previous history with coloring, so I've been very pleased with how the color always comes out and I usually get compliments after my hair is done. Glad to report her work is still great and pricing is very reasonable many years later! Parking is also super easy in the lot and convenient to get in and out of. It's in a huge shared plaza with places like Trader Joe's if you want to get errands done while you're out here.

Sammi is awesome! I'm so glad I found her and so happy to have her as my hair pro for a decade…read more Unless I move out of state or something, she's stuck with me. If you want coloring, Sammi does amazing work (see pics from the other clients). If you want a really good haircut, make Sammi your person. We were just talking the other day how it's so hard now-a-day to get a great haircut. There's so much that goes into it...I always learn something from Sammi (that's my bonus) When I got a full coloring job done a while back, at least 7 yrs back! when I decided I needed to stop box coloring on my own Sammi was the person who recommended me to "go cool" with my color choice. I had a warm red (like a maroon but more red than brown) anywho, so happy with this cool tone we've been keeping since.

I'm a happy loyal customer since June 2019. It's been almost 2.5 years since I moved to LA from SF…read more I have to say that the quality of hair cut & perm you get here is amazing and consistent every single time which I feel very grateful for. I'm pretty picky about my hair, especially because I'm originally from Japan and I have a different hairstyle expectation that you usually cannot get at a U.S. hair salon. That's been said, if you have a typical Asian guy with hair traits like mine (thick & straight), I highly recommend you give it a try at this hidden gem in Monrovia. I cut my hair every 3-4 weeks, and I get a perm once a 3-4 months at Yumi's place. Yes, you read it right, I get a perm. I know getting men's perm is not common in the U.S, but the truth is it's such an undervalued thing here because permed hair is incredibly easy to manage, which is usually not the case for a typical thick straight Asian guy hair. Additionally, Yumi's place has very low covid risk as it's an individually owned salon, and the only person you meet in person is Yumi. She is very careful about maintaining covid sanitization and I feel safe each time I go there. If you have any questions regarding this review, hit me up and I'll happily answer you from my own experience. Happy 2022!

I've been searching a long time for a stylist who is able to cut and tame my frizzy, wavy, thick…read morehair. And I can finally say that I don't have to look anymore because I found Yumi! I let her take full reign of my hair because I just didn't know what type of style would look good for the type of hair I have along with the shape of my head. But now I can finally feel confident walking out the studio and genuinely say that I love the cut! Yumi is so sweet and awesome. She makes you feel comfortable and has such a great positive energy and I love that! Also, if you ever need or treat yourself to a scalp treatment, she offers it as well. It is uhh-mazing! So relaxing. Trust you have to try.

Carolina is an absolute hair whisperer! I only ever knew mediocre haircuts until she did her magic…read more I left the studio feeling like it's the best haircut I've ever gotten, I got home and the first thing my husband said to me was: It's the best haircut you've gotten! Plus I'm usually pretty quiet with hairdressers but this girl made me LAUGH.

Carolina is a legit hair artist!…read more Making the appointment online was easy, and she had availability on my day off! Her salon is located in the Sola Salon suites in Santa Anita Mall. Just park south of Macy's, east of the Arcadia Fire Department station and walk up the stairs to reach the studio. It's a one-on-one type of studio, so you have all of her attention. She makes you feel comfortable to share your inspiration. I asked for a trim with many layers to help control my big, frizzy hair, and she did not disappoint! I got my hair washed, cut, styled all in under an hour while having hair-apy! It was so nice to be in and out all while getting to know her. I am really happy with my haircut and received compliments from friends that confirm I made the right decision by going to Carolina and will continue going to her!

I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for Leo at O' Salon. He has always been incredible…read moreto me from the very beginning. He answers the phone almost immediately every time I call, always texts to confirm appointments, and somehow manages to make time for me even when his schedule is completely full. This last visit meant more to me than he probably knows. I had just been laid off from my job and had an important interview the next day. I felt overwhelmed and stressed and knew I needed a haircut to feel even a little more confident going into it. Even though Leo was fully booked for days, he offered to see me two and a half hours after his normal closing time. After a long day of work, he still welcomed me with kindness, patience, and warmth and took incredible care of me without ever making me feel rushed or like an inconvenience. When I went to pay at the end of the appointment, Leo stopped me and told me he was taking care of my haircut because of what I was going through. That moment genuinely brought me to tears. In a time when I was feeling really low, his generosity and compassion meant everything to me. Leo is not only an incredibly talented stylist, but a genuinely good human being. Acts of kindness like this are rare and unforgettable. I will always be thankful for him and could not recommend him more highly.

The Experience: The level of hospitality is wonderful and I had a fabulous salon experience. Working with Alex and his assistant was a fun. They took a look at my hair and asked me questions of what I wanted and gave me suggestions. The Color: They suggested a subtle root cover-up, great decision. The color blended seamlessly throughout my hair, giving it so much dimension. There were no ammonia smells or anything irritating like box dye. The Precision Cut: Alex's attention to detail regarding my hair texture was on point. He knew exactly how to shape it to complement the blended color. My hair feels lighter and has so much movement. The Shampoo: Hair wash was heavenly, super relaxing melting my stress away. It set the tone for the rest of the service. The Results I walked out feeling like a new person.
