I have lived in LA for 18 years and had gone to a dozen salons before I met Kristen. She was ALWAYS…read morebooked out and I showed up on her doorstep one day and she had just had a cancelation and slid me in. It was Kismet. 10 years later and it's still my favorite place to escape. We have gone from a super short bob to ribcage length hair and every iteration in between. I had wanted to grow my hair out for years but could never get past the awkward stage where I felt pretty and able to enjoy it so I would inevitably cut it- but she gave me a style I loved at every length so it felt like my hair grew so fast. She's quite literally the best hair dresser in the world. Plus her salon is super cute, always smells amazing, she plays great music and listens to my bitch ass complain.

Kristen is the best. I literally get compliments on my hair almost every day. My haircut always…read moregrows out so nicely. Would highly recommend Kristen!

Impeccable service in a serene, thoughtfully curated space that makes you feel instantly relaxed…read morewhile you have magic worked on your hair. Lien is extremely skilled at her craft and asks all the right questions before she even begins touching your hair -- what are your hair goals, what have you done with it in the past, etc. You feel cared for and in the right hands while in her chair. Apart from delivering on the end product as promised (healthy-looking, beautiful hair), Lien is also incredibly personable and easy to talk to. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable (offers snacks, provides a nifty QR code to quickly connect to WiFi) and has the best playlist to create a great salon vibe. Most importantly, she stands behind the quality of her services and will go to great lengths to ensure you are happy with the results. I had an unfortunate reaction on my scalp to one of the products used during my balayage service, and when I let her know, Lien was quick to call me to make sure I was okay and got me in ASAP to investigate the issue and provide remedies. She event sent me home with products to continue to treat and manage the problem. I will 1000% return here and would recommend anyone I know in the area to her for an awesome cut and color, as well as top notch customer service.

I've been coming to Lien for 2 years now. First I want to speak on her salon and her as a stylist -…read morebut then I will leave my comments addressing these cyclists that are trying to ruin a small woman owned business, because they are being called out for being disrespectful to an entire community of people. Lien is the best stylist I've ever been to. Her expertise is unmatched and the way she makes me feel when I'm there is like I'm in my own personal spa. I have a disability and Lien is nothing but accommodating and always checks in to make sure I'm ok. Not to mention - every stylist I've always seen, seems to take hours and hours to do my hair. Which if you know, you know is the part that keeps you from making your next appointment. But Lien does her work magically and in a timely manner. She makes me feel like a new woman each time I leave there, without taking my entire day to do it. Thank you Lien for all your exceptional service!! Secondly, I'd like to address the FALSE reviews these cyclists have been leaving on her page. I've lived in the area for 36 years. The groups of cyclists from when I was a little girl were so respectful and added to the community. This new wave of cyclists are absolutely unhinged. If the cyclists groups had a Yelp - you'd see hundreds, if not thousands of fellow citizens leaving them one stars. This would be community members from South Pas, Pasadena, and ESPECIALLY Sierra Madre. They leave their bikes everywhere, they take over any and every space they are trying to occupy and are rude beyond belief. They've taken what is their hobby and are using it to try and ruin what someone does for a living. Lien and other businesses have asked them to stop blocking their business doors resting all their bikes on them. Apparently this is too big of an ask for them. The photos below were taken on a Saturday at 8:30am and this was just the FIRST of many bikes to be stacked blocking her business. Find a new city to bike in, or stop harassing women who are running their businesses and supporting their family. This is your hobby, but this is her career. Also - please remember that these men are NOT customers of the salon, but are instead making it hard for actual customers to get inside the business.

My next appointment with Vanessa was for a "Custom Revamp" to touchup to my face frame/money piece & overall hair growth. I received so many compliments on my hair after. I think it's great this salon offers a hair & scalp treatment, too. The space itself is also super relaxing, lowkey, and intimate. It's near a coffee shop which is nice and has parking!
