Leading up to my appointment - he was responsive over text, flexible about what services I needed, and he's highly sought with a 5wk booking out. The studio itself is also very cool with brick walls, airy space, high windows for beautiful natural lighting and views, good playlists, and friendly stylists at every chair. Parking on the streets is easily available - just be mindful of 2hr limits.

Nothing about Color correction was brought up. Mind you, I took my hat off, took my hair out of my pony tail, and you guys continued on to tell me what the price would be. All she did was put color on my hair. There was nothing to correct.Furthermore, I had a card that you guys had on a table in your establishment that would give a new client 20% of their hair service, in which I did not receive. I have no problem paying whatever the cost is, but this is more so principal. I was told one thing, and wasn't told what it really was. On top of not getting 20% of my service, which was why I even booked an appointment with your salon. I hope you can understand my frustration and disappointment.

Non-AI Summary: Great place. Love Jazmine's haircuts, Love Taleen's Brazilian Blowout. Highly…read morerecommend. Jazmine is amazing, I've gotten haircuts from her for a long time and she's so excellent, always great with my wavy/curly hair. Also just a rad person, which is nice. What's new for me here is the Brazilian Blowout with Taleen. I've gotten the brazilian blowout done many times in the past, it's really it for my hair when it works. But after some weak results from a couple of other places - the treatment only lasted a week, or didn't really work at all - I tried to quit altogether. Well I'm reviewing Brazilian Blowout so you know how that went - I'm back on the bandwagon and I gotta say I'm loving it. I found out I could get it done at HotHeads with Taleen, booked it, done. On the day Taleen talked with me first about the process and my hair and my goals - I was like give me everything you've got, make the frizz regret being born. She took her time being thorough and professional, and kept checking in with me to see if I was doing ok, needed a break or anything (iykyk this miracle takes time). It came out so shiny smooth, and it's been 6 weeks so far and even with daily marine layer by the beach where I live, my hair is still behaving. Since I don't have to spend forever dealing with my hair every day, I had time to write the longest yelp review ever - thanks Taleen!

I let my hair grow out past my lower back because I was experiencing postpartum hair loss. I…read morethought the longer the hair, I'd feel like the hair loss wouldn't feel so bad. But it got to a point where I needed to cut my hair because it became unmanageable with a 4 month old baby. I found Hotheads on Yelp since I am local to Pasadena. I called the salon, and the owner answered. She was super friendly and asked what I was looking for. I asked for a "trim" but made it clear I have postpartum hair loss so I'd like a consultation too since I don't know what do to with it. Quickly, I got contacted by Stephanie. She was quick to get me scheduled in that same week. Thank goodness! I was going back to work soon so I wanted to cut my hair before then. Fast forward to my appointment. I parked on the street in front of the store. I was greeted by Stephanie right away. She let me change into a salon gown and we started chatting about what I'd like all while washing my hair. I told her I want a trim and some layers. However I'm losing my hair so I wanted to see what she recommended to make it still look full and healthy. Stephanie suggested cutting the thin ends of my hair and doing layers in the front. I'd say the wash, cut and hair dry took about an hour. Which felt quick since we had really good chat about motherhood. Since I'm so low maintenance with my hair, I let her take the lead, did everything she recommended and I'm SO happy that I did! It's literally the best hair cut I've ever gotten. We took off about 7 inches from the bottom and my hair still looks long. The layers shape my face and I feel brand new! Thank you Stephanie for my new look. This new mama feels so good! I'll see you next time for another "trim" :)

This review is not about the salon itself, but specifically about my stylist, Steven Rene. I had an…read moreappointment yesterday and was very disappointed with both the result and the overall experience. Steven spoke maybe three sentences throughout the entire appointment, which made the experience uncomfortable and didn't seem like he wanted to be there. The final color was completely off. The front of my bangs is PURPLE with an ashy base, while the back of my hair is warm with blonde highlights. After he was done, he knew he had messed up and his response was simply, "It'll be less warm in the back the more you shampoo." Why is the back of my head a completely different color than the front? Honestly, this was the worst color job I've ever had, and I would not recommend booking with him.

The hair stylist trimmed my kids hair on the side & the back , and told me that he was done while my kid's hair was still wet. My kid has long hair. My personal hair cut experience tells me, it was a lazy and sloppy work because the stylist should have dried the long hair and make final check on the hair cut. I know I could have asked the stylist to do his job right. But I didn't bother to stay longer, I am not returning to the hair salon and I do not recommend it.

Try Gwen once and you'll be a raving fan too. The best.

I have been a client of Priscilla's for over 20 years. She is the only person I trust to cut and…read morestyle my hair. I've been to other salons (when I lived too far to see her) and none of them measured up. In addition to her many years of experience, the difference with Priscilla is that she truly listens to her clients and understands their needs. She offers ideas when you're not quite sure what you want or what will suit you best. When she opened The Vanity Room, I followed her without hesitation. I always walk out feeling great about myself and like I just spent time with my girlfriends. Everyone is so sweet and has such great energy. The salon itself is chic and inviting (I love the chandeliers). Prior to the pandemic, there was always water, coffee/tea, and some sort of freshly delivered baked goodie to enjoy. Because I trust Priscilla so much, I wouldn't have hired any other team when it came to my wedding. Banessa did my color, both on the extensions I was going to wear as well as my actual hair. The color match was so spot on, that it didn't look like I was wearing extensions on my wedding day at all. And now that I started coloring my hair, I continue to see Banessa. Leading up to the big day, Priscilla and I discussed different hairstyles. Since I was indecisive, she had the creative idea of keeping my hair in an updo for the ceremony and then letting it down for the reception. She prepped my hair and styled my updo in a way that made for a beautiful transition to my reception look. Wow! I was so happy and it was the most glamorous I've ever felt in my life. Kelly styled my bridal party and did a beautiful job. She was able to work with their different hair types/textures to get the look I wanted (old Hollywood waves) and they all looked stunning. Whether you are more on the conservative side or someone who wants to try something new, The Vanity Room team are nothing short of amazing and check all the boxes. If you are considering making an appointment, you will not be disappointed. And I am certain that their experience, knowledge, and customer service will make you one of the many long-time customers like I am!

The woman at the front was lovely and kind, so check-in and check-out were the only bright spots. I arrived with clean, wet hair and had already chosen the products I wanted used. Once I sat down, it was clear my stylist was in a mood. He refused to use any of the products I requested, saying he "doesn't like them," and proceeded to blow dry my hair with zero heat protection. 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.

Update: I have been here about 4 times getting cut and color from Brittany. Today is updated cut…read moreand color balayage August 9, 2019. I found this place through Goldwell's (quality German product for hair color, I am forever loyal) website. Goldwell does not have harmful products that make my scalp shed into chunky flakes like all other inferior dyes. Goldwell due has a vibrant color. It is upstairs and a little hard to find, but it is the first circulation opening into the plaza, 15 feet west of Baldwin. It is closer to Baldwin than google map shows. Not 2 openings away, as google map shows. Brittany did an amazing job blending my old 1.5 year grown out highlights with new highlights. It looked very natural and the color came out, as it is a month later a beautiful honey. It took approximately 3.5 hours cuz I have dark hair. Not only is she an experienced hair stylist, but she is so fun to talk to and be around. She is on the cautious side and will never damage your hair. Price: $50 cut, $150 balayage color, whole head. Really reasonable compared to west LA and Beverly Hills. Cut is on higher end. You may say there are many dye jobs for $60-$80...they are not the same skill level as Brittany, and do they use goldwell dye (a product where it never smells, never feel chemical burn, hair doesn't turn orange, scalp will never flake). Worth it!
