Fresh baby light beach waves
Talar G.

I've been seeing Janelle for around 7 years and will never let anyone else color my hair! I've been to many colorists in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Pasadena and no one does it like her. Not only do I walk out of her salon feeling like a super model, my hair has remained healthy and full - even with all the treatments I have done. Her Altadena location is VERY clean and intimate, which is so crucial during a pandemic. She is truly an artist and a master at her craft. All that aside, Janelle is invested in both the health of your hair and happiness. She will not let you walk out of the salon unless you are completely satisfied with the result, which has always been my case. I usually get my base done with balayage or add some baby lights. LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!! Once you meet Janelle and she works her magic on your hair, you will never go anywhere else. Highly recommend!!!

Fabulous hair by Janelle Verada
Bernadette G.

Janelle Varada is a hidden gem in the foothills of the Altadena/Pasadena area. She has years of experience with all types of hair as well as comes from a famous family of hairstylists, the girl's got skill! I love sitting in her chair and letting her work her magic, she makes you feel completely comfortable, as if you have been friends forever while she takes your hair to the next level.

Seco Blowdry Studio was a life saver for my dinner event! I needed my hair done for an event last…read moreminute and I was looking for a place that was close by work and decently priced. Their online booking system was very straightforward and easy to book, and I was able to book a "Hollywood Waves" session with Nicole. It was nice that they offered the $45 price without hair wash. It's a small shop located inside the Colonnade Mall on South Lake Ave. You can park in the parking lot in the back and it's located on the bottom floor of the Mall. Nicole was very sweet and I showed her a few pictures of inspiration. I liked that she listened to what I wanted, I had mentioned that my hair tends to frizz when I have curls so I'm glad she was able to tame my hair so it didn't at the end. Nicole is very talented and she made the experience so relaxing, and it seemed so easy to make my hair so beautiful.

This is my new go to salon. I am loyal to Monique M here - if it ain't her, don't get near my hair…read more She has magical hands - my hair is the healthiest and longest it has ever been! It has grown so much since I started going with her. She also delivers every single time with styling my super straight hair and with the cut. I have never walked out unhappy with my cuts here which is a big deal since some stylists can cut off too much. She's such a sweet person & friendly!! She keeps it real and doesn't try to sell you anything you don't need like the trending glass toners on Tik tok.

If you're looking for a spa, check this place out. This spa is clean and centrally located in…read morePasadena with reasonably comparable prices. I love coming here for facials and to touch up my brows. I utilize the services of Julie, who is very attentive to detail and your personal skin care needs - this is your go to person. For my facials, I let her take the lead and go with what she feels my skin needs. I have never had any issues from the products used and I have always been satisfied with the outcome. I'm not going to lie, the extractions hurt but they're necessary so just grit your teeth and the process will be over before you know it. This spa is located in a plaza with a very ample parking lot. It is monitored so make sure you pay for your parking (I believe the first 30 or 90 mins are free...forgot the deets on that) or you will come back to a ticket. If you're in a need of a snack before your appointment, there are several coffee shops you will pass before reaching the spa. Appointments are required as is a deposit for services.

I scheduled a month ago for my nieces party. Two sisters for hair and makeup and 11:00. One would…read morebe getting hair while the other makeup and then switch. I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!

I genuinely cannot recommend Ronika enough! I've cut my own hair at home for years because I have…read moresuch a hard time trusting anyone with it, but trusting her was the BEST decision I've ever made. She is incredibly talented and you can immediately tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is. My hair is naturally very thin, dry, and frizzy, and she knew exactly how to work with it while still giving me exactly what I wanted from my inspo picture. She completely brought my boring, lifeless hair back to life and made it look fuller, healthier, and so beautiful. She gave me such a confidence boost, and I would trust and recommend her to absolutely anyone! Honorable mention: the salon is super cute and inviting!!

I was nervous about getting my hair cut because I really wanted to keep my length, and I've had experiences with hairstylists who end up cutting off much more than I asked for. Ronika listened to me completely and cut just enough to remove what was needed while keeping my hair long and prioritizing its health. I really appreciated that she didn't just chop away, but actually took the time to understand what I was comfortable with. My haircut and blowout came out absolutely beautiful, healthy, and full of life. The salon was super clean and very cute. I felt brand new after I left the salon. She made the entire experience so comfortable and I would happily trust her with my hair again!
