    Brenton  is one of the only people I trust with my hair best in haircare. Melody and Julie are also great! Best salon in Pasadena!
    Suzy J.

    The only salon I let highlight my hair! Brenton and Melody have been the only 2 people who can color my hair I have had issues elsewhere with color! His entire staff is great!

    The first appointment
    Janice S.

    To start from the beginning, I received an email in regards to a promotion about a free haircut with any color. I called the front desk and I asked for her to book me with someone who has lots of experience with highlighting dark hair, because I wanted a balayage. She said she'd set me up with someone great. I went in and was scheduled to see Tanya for my hair. I sat down with Tanya and expressed that I wanted to go from dark brown hair to having a golden/blond-ish balayage. She had a hesitant demeanor about going lighter on me, but said that she would do her best to get me there. I also asked for highlights in the front, which I feel like is very common, but she then said no and that I needed (my already long hair) to grow out some more. So, I just said okay. Anyway, at the end of that appointment, it was fine. She blow dried my hair, and it looked great color wise. I would have liked it to be lighter but she reassured me that it would get lighter in time naturally. The only thing I noticed was that the highlights in the front part was choppy.. but it wasn't a major problem, or maybe I just tried not to overreact - idk. At the end, that cost me $250.00. Tanya then went on to say that I needed to come in every 4-6 weeks to get my hair toned so it wouldn't get brassy looking, so I made an appointment to see her 6 weeks later. 6 weeks later, my hair had gotten lighter like I had wanted, but I went in on a Saturday and asked if the gloss was necessary because I liked the color already, and that the only thing that needed to be fixed were the front hairs which was did not flow like the rest of my hair. The color was so chopped in front. Tanya said I def needed a toner, and that she would fix the front. So that was that. Toned, and washed, and she didn't have time for a blow-dry. (even though the receptionist told me that I would be able to get it, but whatever, again, I didn't overreact). I got home that night and fixed up my hair and realized all the blonde that I initially went in for was GONE. I had dark brown hair with light brown highlights. I called the following day (Sun) and asked to speak with Tanya but the receptionist said she was with a client. So I left a message and told her that I was not happy with the color and the receptionist assured me that either Tanya would call me or she (the receptionist) would call me back. Maybe it was too soon to call and I should have waited for the toner to wash out, but I wanted to ask Tanya questions and go over my concerns with her. It's been 5 days since the Saturday that I got my hair toned and it's gotten lighter since the day I got it toned, but it's still darker than what I wanted/initially got, and def not the the golden balayage that I wanted. 5 days and almost $400 out of my bank account later, still no call. So frustrating. I will never go back. At least call the client back!!!!

    I "was" never the type to care for my hair since my kind of hair is hard to fix and I just don't have time for it. I only go to a salon once a year or maybe even longer. Lol Amy definitely changed that thought! I can't believe I'm actually going to start taking care of my hair! Lol She gave me a cut that's easy for me to style or that I can just let be as my hair is naturally curly. As far as the color?! I did not expect this beautiful color!!! She kept me classy! I am beyond happy with the outcome and again, I'm truly glad I went here because not only Amy did a great job, her mentor, Brenton, is also awesome along with the rest of the staff!!! Thank you so much for making me feel lovely and I will definitely be back in a few weeks!!! Their product, Wella, is also great! Again, thank you!!!

    Balayage by Tanya (7/22/17)
    Stephanie T.

    LONG OVERDO REVIEW LOL. I love this salon so much! Everyone here is so sweet and friendly Rain and Tanya are amazing with hair! I've been coming for about 2 years and leave happy every single time. I recommend this salon to all my friends! I started off going to rain, who has done both balayage and babylights for me, but she recently went on maternity leave I started seeing Tanya and she's so sweet and funny and does an amazing job with both color and cuts! She did a balayage for me today and this is honestly the happiest I've been with my hair ever!

    Allison P.

    I've been wanting to make a Yelp account for while now but I've never gotten to it, but after getting my hair done at Brenton Lee Salon I just had to make one! I came in and saw Rain. It was my first time coloring my hair and I didn't really know what I wanted. But we talked about it and we ended up going with a balayage. She also gave me a great head and neck massage. My ends also needed some saving so she trimmed those, gave me some layers and I got a bomb blowout. Color looks amazing! The front desk girl was super cute and offered me drinks, they even have wine and sangria. The whole salon had a great vibe and cool music. I noticed they even do facial waxing!? I'll be back to get my eyebrows done. I'm bummed I won't be able to come back as often as I would like, since I'm just visiting. But when I am back in the South Pasadena area I will definitely be seeing the team! Thank you so much Brenton Lee Salon!

    Darker base and dimension. Natural ombre with the amazing Angela Le!
    Jacqueline N.

    I was searching for my stylist soulmate for a very long time and finally found her at the Brenton Lee Salon! Every time I visit, I leave a happy, smiling, satisfied customer! Angela Le is truly AMAZING with color! She really is an expert at what she does. She actually listens to what you really want (2 inches always means 2 inches, not 4!), while keeping the integrity and health of your hair. She is up to date with the trends and did balayage on me years before ombre was even a thing. I definitely recommend booking her, you will love your hair! The salon also carries the full Oribe line which is my favorite. If you haven't tried it, you will fall in love once they use it on you in the salon. Definitely worth the 40 mile drive from Orange County!

    Finished: Low lights blending in my dark roots by Angela Le
    Melody C.

    Thank you thank you Angela Le! I somehow managed to snag an appointment last minute with her for today and I'm so glad I did. I found the salon on yelp and while looking through the reviews noticed that a friend of mine also came to her! (Ruthie). And after seeing her work in the photos I was willing to give her a chance. I am Asian and have been bleaching my thick black hair for 3 months. My previous hair stylist was very rough with my hair. And although the color turned out much better than I expected, my hair suffered severely. Fast forward 3 months to today: I wanted a natural way for my black roots to grow out. A reverse ombré. And Angela and her assistant did that and more. Throughout the entire 5 hours, they not only focused on attaining the right color consistency and blend, they also made sure to rejuvenate my hair; teaching me along the way how to continue doing that at home as well. They were very professional and took great care of my hair. I couldn't keep my eyes off of them as they worked! The atmosphere was relaxed and attentive. I was surprised to find local cafés come in and offer yummy food for us hungry clients. (Best organic fruit salad ever) I am so happy to have found Angela. She is sweet and quick to understand what you want. I'm pretty sure I wasn't great at explaining - but she got it right away - from the color, blend, length, style. I highly recommend going to this salon. As it was my first time today, I had a little trouble finding parking, (they have around 10 spots right behind the Salon) but I just parked in the Bank of America parking lot as it didn't have signs threatening to tow. My car was fine. Thank you again Angela, and see you in September!

    For most salons, you should leave feeling like a million bucks. And I felt pretty close to it, however the only thing that really gets me is that it is so expensive. I've been to other salons that were more reasonable priced, but you do get what you pay for. My two best friends and I decided to check out this place, all looking to highlight, balayage ombre, and cut. I paid $136 (with a promotional value that included the haircut) for a balayage ombre. The color turned out nicely but not exactly what I pictured. I had ombre before so I was hoping to have a more blonder balayge ombre but instead it turned out to be really light ashy brown. Can't complain about the color because it was very well done by Tiffany but it was similar to something else. I brought in pictures but they kind of have their own vision which isn't a bad one! Going in, I knew that it would come out nice because you pay so much, but the team they have at the salon is relatively young so they tailor well to their clientele. very friendly and 3 hours or so don't go by too slow. They don't really tell you how much everything is till the end so either ask in advanced or as they do your hair or in the end you'll jaw will drop. Another paid $275 (!!!!) because they had to fix her color and got talked into a moisture treatment. She also didn't know the price until the end and was disappointed with the amount. She had long brown hair and cut it shoulder length to an ashy blonde balayage, it looked nice but for that amount I would expect my hair to have gold locks in it. And another friend had Angela who did natural brown highlights and a trim to her long dark brown hair, she paid $180. Overall, it's a good place to go and try for yourself. You won't come out dissapointed, and they will do a fabulous job. I just think I would look for cheaper alternatives. Their customer service is great though! Offers you drinks, shows you color charts for your hair (which I appreciated), called and followed up with how your experience went, and even sent me a hand written follow up thank you card, which was super sweet.

    Thanks to Amanda I have a fresh, healthy haircut that I love!!
    Sandra T.

    Several of my friends have recommended Brenton Lee Salon to me and I finally booked my first appointment this week with Amanda. I love the cut Amanda gave me. I have been trying to grow out my hair and did not want to take off a lot of length but at the same time I needed a cut that made my hair feel lighter and healthier. Amanda took her time to make sure she created the look that I wanted and then taught me how to style it so that I could recreate the look at home and not just have it the day I left the salon. I tried it myself the next day and it worked!! Thanks to Amanda I have a fresh, healthy salon cut that all!!

    Before and after. Haircut and ombré done by Sally
    Dee G.

    Just had my hair done by Sally. I love it!! I follow Sally on Instagram and decided to finally book with her. Best decision ever!! First off, booking with her was such a breeze. A couple emails back and forth and the appointment was set. I even got a call from the salon reminding me of my upcoming appointment! (Thanx!) I check-in to the salon and I'm greeted with smiles. The salon was accommodating asking if I needed anything. I didn't have to wait long for Sally called me to her station. Let me say this girl is truly an artist!! She sat me down and asked me what I wanted done. Simple cut (not too short cuz I've met a couple stylists who would just butcher your hair) and an ombré. She asked a couple questions to clarify and then she was off to work. Sally is very friendly and easy to talk to. Very sweet and considerate. None of that awkward business. She's soft with her hands for those of you who are tender headed. I'm very pleased with my results. Cut wasn't short at all! People even say my hair looks the same length just healthier, but I can tell the difference (now I can run my fingers through without creating a tangle), and color, was just what I wanted! I'm amazed by her customer service. Thank you for the great experience. The search is over: I have found my go to girl!! :)

    3/5 : I had a Groupon voucher for My Lovely Lashes and…read moretraveled over an hour to get there. Be prepared to wait about 15-30 minutes past your appointment time, as the lash tech (Elaine) is usually finishing up with another client. She was sweet, and the overall vibe was calming. I even fell asleep during sessions thanks to the soft instrumental music. However, the lashes themselves were just okay. At all three appointments, my eyes burned during and after the application, and I had to use a fan every time to relieve the discomfort. The classic sets I got during the first two visits had poor retention. Maybe it's because they're classics. I experienced daily fallout, which was annoying as stray lashes would poke my eyes. The third time, I tried a volume set and they were gone by day 25, which I'm not complaining. The style looked bulky, black, and unnatural, but slowly started looking like classic with fallout (which was also itchy/poking me). I made sure to clean and fan-dry my lashes every other day. Also, keep in mind that switching styles doesn't come with any kind of pricing adjustment. She did check how many weeks had passed since my last visit, so I thought there might be a slight discount but nope. Overall, the lashes are cute, but I wouldn't return. I've since found a new lash tech where retention is better, and I've had no burning from the glue or daily fall out.

    My LOVELY lashes indeed!…read more I was here on a Wednesday morning after canceling twice, very easy to get appts. I heard about them from Groupon- paid $33 TOTAL from Groupon but ended up paying + $30 (sales talk) + tip. The place is ok to me, they have 2 beds on the other side that I did not get a chance to take pic 'coz there was another lady there, neat, I just wish they had dividers so we have a little privacy but I guess bec the place is too tiny that will not be possible. They are very busy, people come and go, one after another, and the same person and lady that Made my lashes alternate between picking up the phone and answering clients who just arrived. They have a restroom inside, I found parking right in front, side St free 2 hrs max - perfect. They accept Apple Pay.. Another point! So all in all I like how Jean made my lashes so I will come back :) Enjoy my shared pic with my brand new lashes!

Parking: street (I'd recommend earlier appointments so you know there's parking) I'm not too sure what the residential streets look like around it, because I got a spot right across the street.

The inside looks like a converted house/living room. Very cute. I asked to keep the length, and she actually did! This NEVER happens. with stylists!
