Keya is amazing, he did such a beautiful job on my hair, exceeded all expectations! The ambiance and natural lighting are so relaxing. Located in the arcade court yard in pasadena. I had a full color change with balayage and k-tip extensions. The extensions are unbelievably light weight and seamlessly blended my husband could not even tell! Natural looking exactly what i wanted! Highly recommend his services. read more

So I'm confused--does this salon not offer color changes? I specifically asked for blue and was told no, yet other clients clearly received color changes. I'm honestly very frustrated and surprised, as I would expect a salon to offer this service. read more

Keya has been my hair genie for years - when I've wanted it long, when I've wanted it short, when it needed to be a little more blonde, when it needed to be a lot more blonde. He listens incredibly well, and his talents make him able, not only to execute what I want, but to help me decide what makes me look best at any given moment! read more

I had a week full of hair disasters between a hair color somewhere else that faded within two days and extensions done by a friend that just wouldn't blend. I reached out to Keya, and from the very beginning he immediately knew how to approach and fix the issues. When I arrived, we went over my hair history, where my hair was at, and what my goals were. He was extremely knowledgeable, confident, and made me feel at ease through the entire process. I trusted him completely--and I'm so glad I did. By the end of my appointment, I absolutely loved my hair again and felt like myself. I even booked my next appointment on the spot because I knew I had finally found my go-to stylist. I'm beyond grateful to Keya for not only fixing my hair, but also restoring my confidence! read more

Keya did such an amazing job with my daughter's hair. She's so pleased with her new color and can't wait to go back. I was so happy with the results, I plan on booking my next color and trim with him read more

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! read more

I wanted to update my review for Keya because he has been taking care of hair needs for the past four years! Keya is THE hair magician - I am absolutely in love with his work! No joke, I always feel like I emerge out of the salon with a major glow up after my appt with him. His balayage work is so beautiful - I love how he creates gradations & highlights that aren't too over the top but really enhances all his clients' beauty. Ladies, if you're looking for your next glowup, he's the one to contact for your hair needs. You are in good hands with Keya! He's a strong visionary who knows how to take care of all your hair needs and knows how to give personalized advice. In addition, Keya is a strong communicator, always following up via text. And he's very personable and kind during the appointments. The vibes here are lovely, chill, and thoroughly relaxing while he works on your hair. The salon is also immaculate and very clean. Highly recommended!! read more

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 read more

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. read more

He listens to what I want, can guide me on whether it will look good and has the skill and talent to do exactly what I'm expecting. Recently, he gave me my first balayage and it's gorgeous. It's been years since I put any color on my hair. I was quite nervous but he did exactly what I wanted and matched the color perfectly to the photo I showed. It turned out beautifully! I've never been to another hairstylist that's able to match things exactly. It's pretty amazing. Keya is amazing...what else can I say! I'm lucky to have found him. read more

I had cut my hair super short because it was damaged and after about two years of not dying it and trotting really hard to get to a healthy state, I decided I wanted to dye it again but was really nervous and anxious because the style I wanted I couldn't find on Yelp, foilyage. I came across Keya and boy oh boy he did not disappoint!!!! He knew exactly what he was doing and I am obsessed with my hair, it's healthy and exactly what I was looking for!!! I don't think I'll let anyone else touch my hair but him from now on, he's amazing!!!! read more

Due to the reviews that I have seen... I would've thought this was a good salon. Service wasn't the best, it could've been better. I asked for wispy bangs and showed him several reference pictures, as well as a U shaped cut. I was given a full straight bang, not only that but my U shaped cut was more of a straight cut... fairly noticeable. For the job not being done correctly and not exceeding the expectations, I think the price of $145 was over the top. Very disappointed and left crying looking like Dora. read more
