    Still kept all my length!

    Isabella is absolutely wonderful!!! I have very long hair and my whole life I've dreamt of a hairstylist just knowing exactly what to do! Isabella made my dream a reality. Her studio is beautiful and she made me feel so very comfortable. I'm actually looking forward to the next time I need a hair (or makeup) service because I know I'm well taken care of with the talented and lovely Isabella!

    Bella is AMAZING. She always make me so happy with my color and haircut. Highly recommended

    I am so happy I found Bella! She is absolutely amazing and talented. I previously had dark black hair and wanted a change and go for a lighter look with more dimensions. She was very knowledgeable and was able to go from dark to light without compromising my hair health (which is always important). I've gone to many other hair colorists and have been disappointed in the past. If you're looking for a new stylist, look no further. This girl is THE ONE! Also, the salon is so nice, clean and aesthetic. :)

    I started coloring my hair once the greys could not be controlled (at age 45 in 2015) and I loved my previous hair stylist because she understood how natural and low maintenance I wanted my hair coloring experience to be. Unfortunately her business did not survive the pandemic and I was SO nervous to start my journey with someone new. Fortunately, in May 2021, my sister found Bella at a salon near Old Town Pasadena and I was so grateful she did. My old stylist shared my color "recipe" with me - and not only was Bella so open to using it, she took the time to explain her understanding of why the stylist used this approach. With each visit (every 8-10 weeks) Bella understood me & my hair more and I quickly learned to trust her opinion on what to do. Bella is an expert at her craft because she remains curious, continues to learn and truly cares about her clients and the products/techniques she uses. She is friendly, responsive and I've ALWAYS been happy/pleased/satisfied after leaving her chair. We were thrilled when she opened the Simple Salon in the Arcadia mall in fall 2022 - it's such a great location with lots of FREE parking. Bella is a talented, honest, hardworking professional with such a kind heart. She loves what she does and that's a WIN for her clients. I'm grateful to be one of them. Thank you Bella!

    I'm still coming here many years later :)…read more Sammi has become my go-to hair stylist for my hair cutting and dying needs. I love that she can tailor my hair color based on my hair profile and previous history with coloring, so I've been very pleased with how the color always comes out and I usually get compliments after my hair is done. Glad to report her work is still great and pricing is very reasonable many years later! Parking is also super easy in the lot and convenient to get in and out of. It's in a huge shared plaza with places like Trader Joe's if you want to get errands done while you're out here.

If you want coloring, Sammi does amazing work (see pics from the other clients). If you want a really good haircut, make Sammi your person. We were just talking the other day how it's so hard now-a-day to get a great haircut. There's so much that goes into it...I always learn something from Sammi (that's my bonus) When I got a full coloring job done a while back, at least 7 yrs back! when I decided I needed to stop box coloring on my own Sammi was the person who recommended me to "go cool" with my color choice. I had a warm red (like a maroon but more red than brown) anywho, so happy with this cool tone we've been keeping since.

It's been almost 2.5 years since I moved to LA from SF…read more I have to say that the quality of hair cut & perm you get here is amazing and consistent every single time which I feel very grateful for. I'm pretty picky about my hair, especially because I'm originally from Japan and I have a different hairstyle expectation that you usually cannot get at a U.S. hair salon. That's been said, if you have a typical Asian guy with hair traits like mine (thick & straight), I highly recommend you give it a try at this hidden gem in Monrovia. I cut my hair every 3-4 weeks, and I get a perm once a 3-4 months at Yumi's place. Yes, you read it right, I get a perm. I know getting men's perm is not common in the U.S, but the truth is it's such an undervalued thing here because permed hair is incredibly easy to manage, which is usually not the case for a typical thick straight Asian guy hair. Additionally, Yumi's place has very low covid risk as it's an individually owned salon, and the only person you meet in person is Yumi. She is very careful about maintaining covid sanitization and I feel safe each time I go there. If you have any questions regarding this review, hit me up and I'll happily answer you from my own experience. Happy 2022!

But now I can finally feel confident walking out the studio and genuinely say that I love the cut! Yumi is so sweet and awesome. She makes you feel comfortable and has such a great positive energy and I love that! Also, if you ever need or treat yourself to a scalp treatment, she offers it as well. It is uhh-mazing! So relaxing. Trust you have to try.

He answers the phone almost immediately every time I call, always texts to confirm appointments, and somehow manages to make time for me even when his schedule is completely full. This last visit meant more to me than he probably knows. I had just been laid off from my job and had an important interview the next day. I felt overwhelmed and stressed and knew I needed a haircut to feel even a little more confident going into it. Even though Leo was fully booked for days, he offered to see me two and a half hours after his normal closing time. After a long day of work, he still welcomed me with kindness, patience, and warmth and took incredible care of me without ever making me feel rushed or like an inconvenience. When I went to pay at the end of the appointment, Leo stopped me and told me he was taking care of my haircut because of what I was going through. That moment genuinely brought me to tears. In a time when I was feeling really low, his generosity and compassion meant everything to me. Leo is not only an incredibly talented stylist, but a genuinely good human being. Acts of kindness like this are rare and unforgettable. I will always be thankful for him and could not recommend him more highly.

The color blended seamlessly throughout my hair, giving it so much dimension. There were no ammonia smells or anything irritating like box dye. The Precision Cut: Alex's attention to detail regarding my hair texture was on point. He knew exactly how to shape it to complement the blended color. My hair feels lighter and has so much movement.
