Chignon Hair Salon - My hair after Leidy did highlights and lowlights, cut and styling! So happy with it!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

I love coming into this salon and seeing Julie for my facials , and nicole for my hair! They both deliver such amazing results and I always look flawless!!! I get peels and microdermabrasion with Julie and highlights, trim, conditioning treatments with Nicole , and I always love the results!:)))‍ read more

Firstly, I am very picky with who does my hair these days. Leidy is hands down the most gentle and professional stylist I ever encountered. I've known her for years now, and she never failed me. She does cuts and highlights on my hair, always takes her time in perfecting all of her work. If you live in the area, Leidy is the one you should be looking for. My hair never looked so healthy and shiny. read more

Samantha did such a good job with giving me the exact color I wanted. I wanted to dye my hair a very subtle red that you can mostly see in the light and she did exactly that. I've been coming to this salon and getting my hair done with Samantha for two years now and she always leaves my hair feeling extremely soft no matter what service. I love my new hair! read more

Alicia, the owner, was recommended to me (based on salon location) by a very reputable stylist for color. Sadly, her conduct is a disgrace to the industry. At the end of the day, Alicia's arrogance was the only thing that impressed me. I was specifically seeking out a well seasoned colorist due to scalp sensitivity and very resistant whites. Alicia declined to color my hair though her staff indicated she takes new color clients. This was the first red flag. I gave Alicia's salon a shot for color even after she deferred to a kind but still budding junior stylist (ie needed guidance from Alicia and another senior stylist). Alicia did not disclose that I was seeing a junior member of her team. Second red flag. It turned out the line she recommended (Davines) isn't great at covering whites if you look at stylist forum reviews. And it did burn the nape of my neck when applied. The color itself was nice. Too bad it didn't last beyond two color safe shampoos. Third red flag. Alicia claimed she'd be there on the day of coloring (evidently to guide the stylist) but had a last minute event to attend. Basically showing she didn't give a damn from the start. Although she was willing to "guarantee" the work (ie correction after the stubborn whites I'd told her about before color clearly didn't take)...She was still resistant to coloring my hair herself and was ultimately incredibly rude, unprofessional, and unappreciative of my new patronage when the correction underperformed. I'd reached out to her for ideas (believing she is a master colorist) assuming another session with them in the more distant future. See her text reply below...Perhaps the early career Alicia was more humble and compassionate? When a salon owner responds like Alicia did, it's a reflection of insecurity about the outcome. Glad I paid $100 x 2 for a babysitter plus garage parking. Alicia showed her true self behind the facade of "guaranteed work." If you look at older Yelp reviews, other patrons have described her (verbatim) as unprofessional and unpleasant (history repeating itself). See Stephen M's observations from years past. If the color had lasted more than 2 color safe shampoos, her clients wouldn't have to be inconvenienced to return in the first place. She frames this as though doing you a "favor." As someone who is well versed in high end salons across coasts, I have more respect for myself than to return to Chignon. Maybe Alicia tells herself she is setting boundaries with patrons. The fact is, Alicia falls far short of industry service standards and rests on her semi-retired laurels. Meanwhile, she keeps telling herself she's gone "above and beyond." read more

I initially called to make an appointment with Ashley for a cut color and style after finding her work on Instagram. The person who answered the phone said she was fully booked until the new year, so I asked if I can get a call back in the case there are other openings available with another stylist she could possible recommend me to (I was willing to pay what ever the cost, and I was also willing to go with any stylist then). I called a second time this week because I really am desperate for a change given I have parties this month to attend. I also understand it is a busy month usually when I do try to come in for a last minute service. I called a second time just to double check and I was told there are no openings available with anyone and the person over the phone seemed like she really did not want to just look at availability, I know this for a fact because she was speaking in a more annoyed tone with me the second time. I was told if there were an opening, I would have gotten a call about available openings, that or to look elsewhere and to stop asking because there are no openings. I don't recommend even calling this place. I feel unwelcome and I did not even get a chance to set foot for a service. The phone call was enough for me to take my money elsewhere. read more

I've been sitting with this for a couple days, and today I'm finally spiraling and contemplating a pixie cut. I wanted a few inches taken off, straight line, some softening at the ends, and the haircut was shorter on the left than on the right. It also somehow made me look like Beethoven, even though I've had a straight bob for years. I'm losing my mind that I paid for this. I can't take a picture right now because I've been crying and I look not great. read more

My wife needed a haircut but didn't know where to go. I recommended Chignon because I get my hair cut by Leidy and have had my hair colored by Nicole. She didn't see availability with Leidy, so she went with Samantha and loved her haircut so much that she has now found her salon. I had to write a review because that's three different people providing outstanding service. I don't think you can go wrong at this place. Relaxing vibe, fun people--you can chat or just enjoy the silence. read more

Chignon Hair Salon - Maddie gave me the perfect layered cut without cutting to much from my length. Service was 10/10, I absolutely loved the head massage! - Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

First off, I'd like to specify that my services were performed by cosmetologist Maddie, and she has been my stylist for a while now for a number of reasons... simply put, she cares about not only your experience at the salon, but also in educating clientele on how to heal hair and scalp, and promote new hair growth. I have applied these recommendations into my routine and have noticed a very drastic and positive change in the thickness of my hair. Maddie does amazing work, and has a range of abilities that should be recognized!! Chignon Salon is a vibe! And the people who make it happen are epic, they know hair.. I will continue to go to this salon and rep them! read more

Alicia (salon owner) has been cutting and coloring my hair for 20+ years. Her artistry, skill, professionalism, knowledge, work ethic and attitude are exceptional. So much so, that I drive all the way from Santa Monica to have my hair done by her. I am regularly stopped on the street by people who admire my haircut and color and inquire who my hairdresser is. As a person with curly hair, its hard to find a hair stylist who truly understands how to get the very best out of what nature has given me. Alicia is not only a consummate professional, she is a lovely human being and a truly caring and delightful person. I look forward to sitting in her chair and spending time with her at Chignon. I enthusiastically recommend Alicia - do yourself a favor and visit her at Chignon. read more

This review is long overdue. I've been going to this salon for years and I absolutely love Nicole De Zara... she's an amazing stylist and she more than anyone else has perfected my hair color. And she give the best blowouts you could ask for! Seriously I've never had someone make my hair look as fabulous as she does, and her blowouts last for a whole week and longer! I get compliments all the time whenever she works her magic. And she's so sweet. I can not recommend her enough. Go to Chignon and ask for Nicole... you won't regret it! read more

It was my first time at this salon and i had the best experience. I highly recommend the salon & Ashley , her Customer service was the best ive had ! I finally found my hairdresser.

Its also in a great area , as soon as i got there i got offered something to drink i thought that was a nice gesture from the salon. I also got hungry in the process, i ordered some food and one of the staff offered to pick it up. Overall i loved the service. My hair feels so silky. Ashley did an amazing job 10/10 read more

Stopped in as a walk-in hoping to land an appointment. Lee was able to take me right away and I couldn't have been happier. Please believe me when I say this- I am 42 and I am nearly certain I have never finished a haircut without immediately thinking about all the corrections I would have to make when I got home. Lee saw me. He took note of what I wanted and explained how he was going to make that happen with my specific head shape and angles. Then he gave me the best haircut I have ever had in my life. I am officially his customer for life. I say all of this not even mentioning how wild and fun he is as a person. Truly a joy of a human being to converse with while having my hair cut. Could not recommend more! read more

I cannot stop running my fingers through my healthy hair! Thank you so much Ashley! I previously got my hair done by Ashley at a different salon and I really fell in love with the way she works, she's gentle, soft spoken, genuine, and sooo sweet! I love that she's not against any crazy hair idea I have but she will advice me when she knows I'm gonna destroy my hair... also I really enjoy the ambiance of this salon, the wine, the music, and everyone is so nice. I would highly recommend you book with her Her Instagram is @barriosbeauty read more

Travis Baum has been doing my hair for almost a year now, I've been very happy with the results. He created three color highlights for me that get non-stop compliments. Inspired by the colors on a peacock, my hair is blue, purple and peacock green. He layered the colors in a way that each color peeks through, it's amazing. Also, the hair color they use is the most long lasting blue that I have ever come across. I have been around hair dye for about 15 years now, and I've tried so many brands, but they all faded quickly and they always would stain my towels, clothes and pillow cases. But the blue here doesn't fade much at all, even after 6 months, and it ever bleeds onto other fabrics! The green and the purple fade slowly, they also do not stain my things. They both fade into very attractive shades of pastel green and purple magenta. I cannot say enough good things about him and the salon! read more

I have been going to Jill for hair cuts and color for over 20 years. Without a doubt she is the best stylist I have ever worked with! She listens to what I want, and makes it happen! Jill's skills with color are exceptional. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the whole atmosphere at the salon is welcoming and fun. I highly recommend Chignon! read more

There is a unique staff and an exceptional standard that the salon works to. I have never had a salon before which made my self- care due to surgery and such simple. I appreciate the advice, services, and enjoy my appointment with great advice from stylists! I am recommending this salon with the utmost respect and care as well as great stylist advice. If you're looking for something different but fun and great complements to your daily lifestyle- - this is the place! read more

First time here. Saw all the positive reviews and love on Yelp. Went in on short notice. Hannah cut and styled me. Looked her up before walking in and saw great comments. Hannah was awesome. Consulted with my about what I had in mind. I asked for it to be shorter and left the rest up to her. She did a great job. The salon is next door to Union restaurant, and Pop. Chignon serves beverages, so I had an a Corona. Hannah brought it to me in an ice cold mug. It's July and 100 degrees outside, so it totally hit the spot! Salon is nice.

I had been searching for a hair salon for a couple weeks now, always afraid to commit. I hate getting my hair cut, but when the ends of my hair start clumping because they're so dry and dead, it becomes a necessary evil. I bit the bullet and called Chignon. I was able to schedule a same-day appointment with Nicole. I asked for a long layered cut and decided that my shortest layers would be at my collarbones. I asked Nicole to do whatever she thought would look best, but to only cut 1 - 2 inches off the bottom of my hair max. I wanted to keep some length. She did exactly that! I was surprised at the end result - my longest layer was still long and the layers were subtle but very flattering. Nicole took her time and is a great conversationalist. She made me feel very comfortable in her chair! I am so happy I decided to book with Nicole at Chignon, and will definitely be back again. I am even considering getting some color done with her at some point in the future.... if only I could decide on what color! I'd also like to note that my visit included a beverage (I went with green tea), shampoo and condition, and a blow out. The total cost for me was $60 + $15 tip. Note on parking: there is a garage up N.Raymond across the street from the park that has 90 minutes free parking. I actually parked way up N. Raymond in a 2 hour zone and walked down from there. read more

I wanted to like this salon and I went on three different occasions for color and cut. Every time I went I was not exactly satisfied but I thought - I'm new to them so it will take a while for them to know what I like/want. But last week I had the worst color (drab and dull beige) and a haircut there that looked like 'two cocker spaniel dog ears', simply awful, with no real thought or creativity put into it. It was very very expensive too. So, fortunately for me, I found another salon today which fixed the awful hair cut and gave me a perfect, well executed, and stylish haircut. The new salon will will fix the color next week. Sadly, I will not return to Chignon, too expensive for what you get. I'm sorry it didn't work out. read more

After COVID took out my usual stylist, I began the scary and daunting task of looking for someone new. I scoured countless IG pages, looked up a ton of reviews and finally found Chignon Salon. I ended up booking a session with Isabella (Bella), who was super flexible and accommodating when we were trying to schedule. As anyone who has a regular stylist knows, trying someone new can be as awful as a nightmarish first date. Thankfully, Bella's personality is awesome and, even better, her work is AMAZING! I left the salon feeling like a new person - great color and cut. And this was 6 weeks ago! The color has held up great - even better than I'm used to with my usual stylist :) read more

Isabella Cao nailed it again! She doesn't disappoint. If you are looking for someone who is a true expert with hair .., look no further! Isabella is your girl! She exceeded my expectations! She is extremely meticulous with her work. She listens carefully with what you want and goes about the call of duty. She also preserves the integrity of your hair. Due to covid - I didn't have a sitter so I was obliged to bring my daughters- the front desk assistant was welcoming and very friendly, tried to accommodate my two girls .. don't know his name .. but Thank YOU! read more

Chignon Hair Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

First visit but not my last! When I first entered the salon, I was immediately greeted with a huge smile and a warm welcome by Ashley Nguyen. After brief formalities of introducing her self and offering a beverage, she took me to her station. I told how I usually style my hair and what I would like done. She took a moment to run her fingers thru my hair and gave a brief description my hair type (which I was totally oblivious to) and what she needed to do to keep my hair naturally styled with minimal effort. I immediately felt confident and excited!During the cut she made me feel welcome and made me feel like we've known each other for years. She explained every step, how my hair should contour to my head, what thinning my thick hair meant. My over all experience was amazing, from her witty humor to her experience and professionalism. I hope you see this, Ashley! Thank you!!!! P.s. Thank you for the tea tree shampoo/conditioner recommendation! My scalp has never felt better read more

Can give change if you parked at a meter. Great background music. Complimentary drinks available (I had a mimosa for my morning appointment). Comfy couch to sit on while you wait... my original stylist had car problems and wasn't going to be there on time/work with me. They had set me up with another stylist who was a delight to talk with while getting my hair cut. Went in for a simple 3-4 inches off to get off the dead ends & new layers. The employees at Chignon were very respectful and kind. Last time I walked by, it looked like they were under construction for a re-model? Not sure what's going on. Remodel has been complete! (I walked by last night). Not that the salon wasn't nice before, but it looks so much more professional/more high end/up-to-date with today's interior. There waiting area switched to the opposite side (left side) and on the right there is the front desk with a large TV screen. In the center is a split double-sided row of stations. I think this layout is much more appealing to someone who is walking by from the street. I like the change! read more
