    On a plane hair dirty and still looks amazing!

    There isn't anyone that does better hair out there. Keya is a true artist and does the best highlights, balayage and over all color. He also cuts my naturally curly hair perfectly every single time. I drive two hours to see him and will not let anyone else touch my hair.

    My experience with Keya was amazing! It was my first time going blonde and I was very nervous but excited. Keya is such a professional, he truly enjoys his work and he had told me it is his zen. After my experience, I definitely see that and it ended up being zen for me too. I have had bad experiences in the past so I was hesitant to trust just anyone, but Keya has earned my trust. After much research, his work drew me to reach out through Yelp. Communication through app and phone was consistent and always followed up on. In person, he was great at answering all the questions I had, explaining the process with me as time went on, and not making any false promises upfront. It was so refreshing! During our session, I enjoyed talking with him as well as enjoying the silence between us, listening to good music playing in the background. It felt great to have the peace of mind that he would do everything he could to get me what I wanted while also gently explaining the realistic possibilities for a first session in order to maintain my hair's integrity (what I want needs multiple sessions to accomplish). Despite this, we were both SO happy with the outcome! Keya made it a fun surprise for me so the end result would be a BIG reveal and it was SO worth it. Even he was excited which helped build my own, and that alone showed me how invested he was and what a great a person he is. He showed me how it looked up, down, straight, and curled. It's these little details I absolutely adore and what define a true professional in this business. If you're going blonde, you know it's a mission. Keya did his due diligence to make sure I would achieve a result I would be happy with, having those conversation to be sure we were on the same page, providing his professional opinion but still maintaining the vision I wanted. As a newbie to the blonde hair game, I feel I have invested in a great professional to guide/get me to where I want to go. I highly recommend Keya and I will be back for the next step of my hair journey. Thank you Keya! Excited for next time!

    So happy with my highlights and hair cut. My family and I have been going to Keya for over 16 years now and never disappointed. He is a true stylist! I always get stopped and told my haircut is really nice. I highly recommend Keya.

    I absolutely love Keya! For three years now, he's been working his magic on my hair, always ensuring that I leave his salon with the perfect look I crave. Keya is truly a hair styling wizard!

    I'm so glad I came here and met Keya. He was so good at explaining what he was doing every step of the way. I could definitely tell he takes pride in his work. He doesn't want anyone walking out, not satisfied. I showed him photos of what I was looking for, and he was honest about his efforts to create the exact mix that would give me the results I wanted. And let me tell you, he hit it dead on. You can tell this man has been in the business for a long time and knows exactly what your hair needs. I was looking for a big change and nervous about the process, but he couldn't have done a better job. He's the real deal.

    perfect balayage & cut

    An absolute wonder! Thank you Keya for going above and beyond what I asked for. Seamless sun-kissed balayage with a flattering, fresh cut and curtain bangs. My old hair was a yellowy, black lob that made my forehead look big. Not anymore! So much dimension and perfectly went with my skintone. When he finished, I literally left the salon BEAMING. It was also such a lovely salon and he worked so efficiently. I didn't feel super rushed nor confined to the chair for an unusually long amount of time. He was professional and kind! Definitely coming back

    "before and after" photos

    I was admittedly a little panicked when my sister, who had been cutting my hair all of my life, moved out of state! She told me she herself would get her hair cut by Keya, so I thought that was plenty good referral for me to go try him out. I was SO happy with the result. I'm sure many of you can relate to that feeling of wearing your hair long for years and just one day, it's like "I'm gonna go lose a pound of hair today!" That was me. And even though going to someone new is super scary, I felt at ease very quickly into my appointment. The studio is in a charming little alleyway in Pasadena. Keya happened to be out front when I was looking for the unit. He was so friendly and professional from start to finish. Now that I fully trust that he gets me (and he totally understands Asian hair btw! IYKYK), when I return, I'm ready to ask him to do something even more dramatic to uphold my midlife crisis rock 'n roll lifestyle LOL! I will come back to this review to add a "before and after" picture soon. Thank you, Keya! P.S. the most random thing happened while I was in my appointment-- not having ever met another "Lisa" for the last few decades in my life, there just so happened to be not one, but TWO other Lisas in the room with me :-O I'm gonna take that as a good sign.

    Before

    Coming to Keya's salon was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. He demonstrates the love he puts into his work and he is just as excited as you are for your new change. He did such an amazing job in transforming my hair! Overall, the experience with Keya was so wonderful and I will definitely be back again :) !

    KEYA is a magician- he can understand what you're going for, and make it happen. I'm only in town once or twice a year, and I always make sure that day 1 of my trip I'm booked in. I get so many compliments and it always grows out nicely. He even gave my small human a trim while I was processing. I wish I could clone him and have one where I live so I could look this great year round! Thanks for being amazing!

Grace immediately got to work after we communicated what I was looking for, using the reference photos she asked for along with her own input as a hush cut specialist. The salon itself is very clean, airy, and modern. Despite looking small from the outside, it doesn't feel small at all. There's no strong chemical smell from hair dyes, ammonia, or bleach, which I really appreciated. The staff are super friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. I would definitely come back again in the future. After the cut, my confidence level boosted so much. Thank you Grace.

    When reasonable pre-service questions about timing, sessions, cost, and hair health are treated as…read morea problem, that's something potential clients should know. 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.

Customer feedback should be met with accountability. A manager who responds vengefully instead of constructively tells you everything you need in how guests are valued.

It could be helpful to give customers a rough estimate of the booked service so we get the chance to financially plan instead of being told the price once we're in the chair- at that point, I feel most customers could feel obligated to comply.

She consistently gives me the most amazing razor-cut shags that don't require the extra curling and blow-drying I've seen other stylists have to do to make it even resemble a shag. I can wake up, put some Hairstory products in, and I'm good to go. The way Rae cuts my hair gives it texture and shape, making it less bulky and complimenting my round face. She also gives me the most fantastic curtain bangs, fringe, and wings to flip out my hair. I recently took a new driver's license photo, and thanks to Rae's haircut, it was the first DMV picture I didn't massively hate. She's trained by Jayne from Edo, the Shag Queen that you've probably seen all over Instagram and TikTok, but it doesn't cost a fortune.

After my first and only appointment, she left me with bangs that had some strange long pieces on one side that went over and kept poking in my eye. Not only did it not look right aesthetically (others later confirmed what I was seeing), it was physically annoying. Although everything else was great as far as the cut, this was clearly an oversight that, for whatever reason, neither of us did noticed at the time of the appointment. Frankly, although Rae does not charge as much as many very expensive hair stylists, she is *not* inexpensive and this was the most that I've ever paid for a haircut. I felt that I should not have to correct anything myself plus I did not want to mess with her work at all. After contacting her about this very small matter, as I was willing to make the effort to go back to her to have this corrected, she ghosted me. Instead of being agreeable and embodying all of the positive things she purports to believe in and represent via her Instagram page, she apparently decided that I would be "a difficult client." (And apparently this is a thing with hairdressers, as I found mention of this on a hairdressing professionals site.) There was absolutely no consideration for my feelings. I am far from a difficult client. But the client should be happy, and she could've done a couple of snips and that would've been that. Instead... After receiving no reply via phone after leaving her a couple of messages, I finally had to find her on Instagram and sent her a photo of my obviously uneven bangs. Apparently now fearing that I would post something negative to her account or leave a bad review somewhere, she offered to refund the entire cost of the haircut rather than make this quick fix. I was floored. While happy to not have to end up paying my hard-earned money to someone who basically was cruel to me via her respect for only her feelings with none for me, I knew that she was paying me off. As I didn't want to spend any more time or energy on this or her, she's been successful with that until now. But she's come up again, and I can see all of these great reviews and the feelings of rejection have returned. So I must be such an asshole to deserve to be treated like one, right? No. Our session together was perfectly normal, and Rae just cannot accept that she could make such a small oversight and that a client may not be 100% happy with her work--i.e. she exists beyond reproach. She's an artist, mind you! If you can be happy with that, yes she does good work and it seems that most of the time she gets it right with clients (particularly if they have lots of Instagram followers, I suspect but cannot ascertain) or they just don't bother or feel comfortable mentioning any dissatisfaction. I just don't like people thinking they can treat others like trash because they are an artist in some high-priced field. It's a fucking haircut attached to a human being. Just be a nice person and have some grace.
