It was my first time getting my hair colored and cut by Tommy. I've never had my hair colored before and I was very nervous at first. In the last few years, when I let my hair grow long, I always want to get my hair colored, however, I always get scared and end up cutting this. This year - in 2022 - I said let's do it! I contacted Tommy the morning of my appointment to see if he could fit me in. I told him I'd like a haircut and possible highlights or balayage. He was so courteous and sweet to fit me in at his last appointment spot at 6 pm. I left from work and was going to be a little late so I called Tommy and told him I'd be 15 minutes late. He just said "It's fine! No rush!" He gave me directions to park in the back and that his salon is located inside the Colonade in Pasadena. Since I arrived at night, parking was free! This was super helpful of Tommy to give me directions or else I would have gotten lost! When he started on my hair consultation, I showed him inspiration pictures and we talked about color options. He is VERY knowledgeable on his coloring and hair cutting styles. I could tell right away he was great! We decided on a balayage for coloring and a light brown on my dark brown hair. He was wonderful to take before and after pictures for me. He even shared it with me so I could show my friends! The whole hair coloring, haircut, blow-drying, and styling took about 4 hours. 4 hours just flew by because Tommy is so funny and light-hearted. I could talk to him for hours! It is wonderful to have a hairstylist that you can talk and share memories. He is so funny and sweet! After Tommy performed his magic on my hair, I was astonished by the results. I couldn't believe my results! He even recommended me a new shampoo I should use and we scheduled our future follow-up appointment. Just wow! Tommy is my go-to hairstylist now and he should be yours too! I wish I could give him 10 out of 5 stars. I'm so lucky to have found Tommy! I highly recommend him! Tommy if you are reading this - thank you so so much and I will see you soon! read more

I love my haircut and highlights! The customer service is always exceptional. He is very meticulous with the haircuts. He gives helpful advice and suggestions on how to maintain the style and keep healthy hair. The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly. read more

Tommy has cut and styled my hair at least 3-4 times now, and every time I've gone to him, I have always left completely happy and in love with my hair. Tommy is great at his job: he always asks what I want done (I usually bring in pictures) and he lets me know whether or not the look is achievable or if it will need modifications -- that level of honesty is SO appreciated because I sometimes think something will look good but I forget to consider my face shape and/or how much maintenance will go into the look on a daily basis. He also has so much fun cutting and styling hair that it hypes me up, but what I love best about Tommy is that he is genuinely kind, easy-going, and fun to talk to. I feel like I could talk to him all day about all kinds of nonsense lol. If you're looking for someone to cut and style your hair AND give you feedback on the look before you commit to it AAAND if you want to work with someone who is fun and upbeat, Tommy is your guy! Love him, and can't wait to work with him again. You will definitely walk about feeling great about how you look :) PS: If you get bangs, he will always touch them up for you without hesitation. He's seriously an angel. Go book with him now! read more

Tommy is a true expert! I could no longer go to my usual hairstylist, and I was fearful of going to someone new. But I made a great decision in trying Tommy! Tommy saved the day! His balayage makes me look terrific and when I showed him a new haircut I wanted to try, he did it perfectly. I recently moved and continue to travel 2 hours to see him rather than go to someone new. I am so happy with his services, cut and color, and his personality is warm and sweet as well. Thank you, Tommy! read more

I have been getting all my hair and make up needs done by Tommy. Every month I visit and my experience is positive. He cares about my hair, color, and makes sure I leave satisfied.

I've been going to Tommy for a couple of years now, and I just love him! No matter what kind of a cut I ask for, he just gets it right. ‍ Most of the time, I have a very rough idea of what I want. I do my best to find pictures and all, but rarely find exactly what I'm looking to have done (the main problem being that a lot of pictures show very styled hair, while I'm looking for something requiring very minimal styling). Tommy always listens to my ideas and also provides much-needed input...and delivers! I leave with hair I love. Also, he just really understands my hair. When I blow-dry it after he cuts it, it magically falls into place. Amazing! He's also very sweet and funny. We always chat about all kinds of things! He's not overly chatty or anything, though, if you're the type who prefers to look at your phone, read, etc. Go see Tommy! You'll love him too! read more

Tommy is the best! Tommy is the only stylist I've gone to for over 3 years. He will respond immediately with his availability and makes time for me even on his days off! He is such a skilled artist and he has truly mastered his art. I am always blown away by his skills, especially when it comes to balayage and highlighting (my preferred coloring styles). I always tell him that I feel like myself again after he has styled my hair. He always works with me to decide on what color or style will work best for me and I am so grateful that he always explains his process to me step by step. He takes his time to perfect the style and color and makes sure I am happy with the finished look. Time flies by when I'm there because we spend the entire time chatting and laughing! Tommy is truly amazing and I refer him to everyone I know! If you're looking for your forever stylist, go see Tommy. You won't regret it! Also, he is mindful of COVID and always sanitizes and disinfects his workspace areas. read more

Tommy is a true artist and always aims for perfection! You give him an idea of what you want and the end result is always so much better than you could have ever imagined. I have been coming to him for little over 2 years now and always leave his salon feeling like a movie star. He always makes sure he sanitizes everything he uses and knows how to work around the mask you are wearing lol. He comes with my highest recommendation! Thank you Tommy for always going above and beyond and for making me feel great about myself. See ya next time! read more

I had the best experience with Tommy! Booking with him was easy and I love that he has his IG listed so you can see and reference his work. He was so friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment we met in person. The salon is clean and spacious. I showed him a video of what I wanted and explained my concerns; he knew exactly what to do and gave me exactly what I pictured, if not better. I got an Olaplex treatment with a 4 inch trim and curtain bangs. He walked me through what produces to use and how to style my hair. He was very gentle with detangling and washing my hair and so easy to talk to. It was such a pleasant experience and I will be back in 3 months to see him again, as well as for future coloring needs. He is reasonably priced and makes sure you leave the salon happy. Thank you again read more

Tommy has been doing my hair since Sept 2019. He was referred to me by my sister who spoke very highly of him and was always so happy with her hair. He's now the only person I will let near my hair! Tommy is so skilled with color and he does the best balayage. My hair is naturally dark brown and he has transformed it into the most beautiful blonde/honey blonde shades. I always see him before big events to make sure my hair color is on point and that I feel my best. He really listens to your requests and does his best to make your vision a reality. His creativity and skill always make your hair look even better than you could have imagined. Tommy keeps up on all of the newest techniques and styles so he can ensure you get exactly what you want. I appreciate this so much because I know he's going give me a stylish cut or style that will be the highest quality work. I get sooo many compliments after seeing him! I lived in Pasadena when I first started seeing Tommy in 2019 and now I live in Covina and will drive back just to get my hair done by him. He's that good and I would follow him to any salon. Aside from him being a great stylist, he's super funny and so easy to talk to! I'd give Tommy more than five stars if I could! read more

It's been about a month since my most recent (and last) visit. Unfortunately my last cut was awful. I paid and left immediately because I was so shocked by how short it was. I talked with Tommy about cutting an inch off and it coming below my chin. It does not come to my chin even when wet, and at least 3 inches came off. My hair was relatively short and is healthy, so there was no reason to cut off more. When he was cutting my hair, I heard him clearly say an expletive early on in the cut. I think he must have made a mistake and had to cut extra hair off to even it out. He denies saying anything of the sort but I know what I heard. It's been several weeks now and my hair is still much shorter than what I wanted. He admitted that my hair came out shorter than we had discussed and blamed it on the fact that my hair is wavy, which seems unprofessional. The only solution he offered when I texted him about how unhappy I was with the haircut was to come back when it had grown out for another trim. I do not trust him to do my hair anymore and will not be back. read more

I've been coming to Tommy for anything hair related for over a year now and he always makes time for appointments and is extremely talented. He has helped me with haircuts, hair dye, I've had long and short hair, and he's always delivered quality haircuts. I've recommended him every time I get a chance, I highly recommend you give him a chance to surprise you! read more

I'm so grateful I found Tommy! He is talented, patient, and kind -- and he saved my hair! I had been doing my own color for the past two years during the pandemic and it had turned kind of orange. I was seeking a beautiful rich, dimensional brown. I went to another stylist first who made it too dark. That's when I booked a consultation with Tommy. He spent 40 minutes with me free of charge going over ideas and photos. I really appreciated his desire to communicate. We settled on a balayage, and I was immediately pleased with the results. Gorgeous. But, because I was using the wrong kind of shampoo (didn't realize that highlights require special products!), my color faded really quickly and I got too blonde -- like within a week. Tommy kindly welcomed me back to his chair and for no extra charge toned my hair again so that I was back to the rich, dimensional brown I wanted. He really wants to please his clients and has the skills to execute it. Bright, happy salon to boot. And reasonable prices. All-around awesome! read more

Let me start by saying that I have never left a bad review because I always try to understand the situation but this time I just have to. Two weeks has passed since I visited Tommy L and I have been thinking if I should write this...but another day looking in a mirror and seeing my hair with the tears in my eyes has brought me here. Tommy was very nice and seemed professional the whole time, explaining what he's doing to my hair. He has such a good reviews online that I didn't question anything. I went to his salon because I wanted to find someone closer to where I live, I have a very good stylist but she works far away. I also have kind of difficult hair, a lot of different shades, leftovers from previous dyes. I'm not very picky, I don't need my hair to be perfect. I just want to look decent. I wanted to add just some partial highlights to the front to brighten my hair especialy around my face. I asked for blond highlights to frame my face specifically. But he decided to do a 'color fix balayage' or something. So I agreed because I trusted him, he explained everything very well. When he finished I was in extreme shock. Internally on a verge of crying. He must have notice that because he gave me a discount saying that he gives it to me because ' I'll be back to finish the process'. i was very unhappy and shocked and he kept on saying that the colors blended beautifully - basicly gashliting my sadness and denying the fact that he messed up. He left the top of my head and framing parts brassy yellow. And I specifically asked for bright front parts...This part was my natural hair. Which should be the easiest to bleach and get pretty blonde because I already had that pretty blonde on my natural hair before (after a week I went to my hair stylist and she fixed it as much as she could. She was shocked with my hair as well). When I got home I noticed that it's even more messed up. The 'beautifully blended parts' where blotchy and uneven. I was so mad and truly just sad. So so sad. Especially because he kept on saying that it's ok and that he's going to finish it next time in a couple if months. And what about the time in between that I have to wear this messed up hair disaster? I was so shocked that I even left a tip. Now, I have to grow out my hair again. i'm leaving this review because if I'd see this before I would've never gone there. So maybe it'll help someone. read more

If you are in the Pasadena area (or beyond) and are looking for a talented stylist for cut and color....SEARCH NO MORE!! Tommy is an artist when it comes to hair. Both my daughter and I have been going to Tommy for the past 2 years. He is knowledgeable when it comes to hairstyle cuts and is VERY honest about coloring. If he thinks it will damage your hair or not be a cut/color that will work for you...he will be honest but also understands that ultimately it is your choice! He is professional and all around fun to work with. I should have taken a "before" picture but I forgot. Just for reference, I have shoulder length, straight black hair. Tommy did bayalage highlights, trimmed the ends and added side bangs. I added some photos:) THANK YOU, TOMMY!!! YOU ARE THE BEST! read more

Just went to Tommy, after finding him online and reading his reviews, which were consistently positive. This is the first time I have been to a hairstylist who did not come recommended to me by someone I know, and it has been so difficult for me to find someone who can do what I want to my hair. I am so happy with Tommy and how he cut my hair. He was very attentive to my needs and cut it as I requested (I also had a few pictures to show for reference). He was very meticulous and thorough. He also was very kind and friendly. I loved the overall experience with him so much that I brought my 9-yr daughter back to get her haircut with him the next day - and she has been raving about her hair ever since. I will be going back soon to get a full balayage to help camouflage my grays and whites - I have not colored my hair in well over a decade, but I feel like I can definitely trust Tommy to do a great job. Also, he has an online scheduling portal that makes the appointment process so easy and straightforward (with clear pricing...and very reasonable!). I highly recommend Tommy to anyone who is looking for a great hairstylist! read more
