Eddie's Edition is a great shop. I have been going to Kristy for several months now and I am…read moreextremely happy with her work. She always runs on time and provides excellent customer service. Kristy does detailed work on my hair - a precision short cut on curly hair as well as mixed coloring. She does this perfectly! So well that I constantly get compliments on my haircut and color. Kristy is a gem!! As for the shop in general, it is always clean and well maintained. Everyone in the shop is pleasant. Most of the other people working there seem to be barbers and clients are males getting haircuts. They give good clean cuts from what I've seen. I really like the shop's online booking system. Makes it easy and convenient to book appointments. The system sends text confirmations and reminders too. The only downside can be parking, especially at lunchtime. The parking lot is very small and there is a restaurant that shares the space. Street parking is available though. All in all Eddie's Edition is a good shop barber cuts and limited women's styling.

The space is welcoming and has an extensive drink selection as well as a good amount of seating for waiting. The parking lot is around the back of the building and has a lot of space. Unfortunately, when it came to payment, I have had a very bad experience. In the shop, I was charged $95.58 for a long cut, shampoo, and tip. I was quoted $65 online when I made my appointment for a long cut only and the stylist did not note there would be an additional charge for shampooing when she brought me to the basin. I should have asked, but it also should have been more clear. I was called about an hour after I left the shop to give my CC info over the phone because the first charge did not go through. This time, I was charged $76.80 for the same services. A few days later, both transactions settled in my account. I left a few voicemails, and did not hear back. When I finally got someone on the line, they said they'd refund the $95.58. Today, a refund for $76.80 settled in my account. While I'd like to come back for another haircut in the future, I'd be very hesitant to do so because of the way transactions are handled by staff.

The hair that Adriana had to deal with was "virgin" hair untouched by processing but very fine. I don't know anything about balayage (and that it works from the tips to the root, not vice-versa) so she helpfully showed me a few pics of gray highlighting and we were set to go. I love the ambience there; very chillax. This happened right between Thanksgiving and Christmas and you get burnt out on all the bouncy music everywhere you go. Luckily, I picked a very quiet establishment with just soft jazzy versions of the holiday stuff. The many live plants as decor really adds to the spa vibe. Make sure you keep your voices low so as not to disturb other patrons, many of whom are fellow Asians like me. I read on their website about the "Head Spa" that they do, which is kind of a 20/40/60 minute facial but for your scalp. Those chairs are so comfy you will, if you're not careful, fall asleep. Every major service (cut and highlights for me) will include a scalp massage. They block out the overhead lights and you feel like you're floating lying down. I might come back regularly for this alone. I recommend this place for people who have stress headaches. They say they use pure jojoba and help exfoliate your scalp. The total for a long hair cut was $94 and the cost of highlights was $325. You put down $100 deposit with your credit card when you make the appointment and they don't cash it until your service is complete. Make sure you're on time or early (I suggest at least 15 mins) or you will be charged 100% penalty. Parking is limited to behind Lake Ave in "Shoppers Lane." If they run out of spots you can also park at the Trader Joe's (west side of Lake) and just buy something there so you can get validated. It was pricey but well worth it. My stylist advised that I come in every few months for toner rinse to keep the highlights bright since the gray will just come in naturally after that. Don't be afraid to do it! Ask for Adriana.

I had such a great experience with Reyka last time so I'm quite disappointed in my experience this time with Yuri. She was very kind but I don't think she asked enough questions throughout the process to know what I wanted. I know it's hard to get 100% exactly what you want unless the stylist can read your mind so I really don't mind it looking a little different.

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" :)

I reached out before booking a $500-$600 hair service because I genuinely care about my hair and wanted to be thoughtful before committing. I asked straightforward questions about how many sessions it might take, how long it would take, pricing, and how my hair health would be handled. These were not abstract questions. They were about my own hair and my own money. At first, I was told I could come in for a more direct consultation. When I followed up and asked when a good time would be, the tone changed. I was told this is "not an educational organization," that questions about my own hair should be directed to my previous stylist, and that consultations were not available because they were "too busy," especially on Fridays and Saturdays. That honestly caught me off guard, especially after being encouraged to come in. It started to feel like asking questions at all was unwelcome. What bothered me wasn't that they were busy. I get that. It was how I was shut down. Instead of simply saying we might not be the right fit, the responses felt dismissive and made it seem like I was being difficult for wanting clarity. I stayed polite the entire time and never asked for anything unreasonable. I just didn't want to walk in blind. This experience was especially disappointing because I chose this salon intentionally after reading negative reviews and believing the public responses showed care and accountability. I understand every business has bad reviews and nobody is perfect. But after this interaction, those reviews suddenly made a lot more sense. I'll be honest: I almost booked based on the photos alone. The work looks beautiful. But talent isn't the only thing that matters. Integrity, communication, and having a client's best interest in mind matter just as much. Sharing this so others know to read beyond the pictures and decide for themselves what kind of experience they want. No one should feel small or brushed off for asking questions before paying for a service.
