    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'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.

    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!

    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

    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!

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.

The woman at the front was lovely and kind, so check-in and check-out were the only bright spots. I arrived with clean, wet hair and had already chosen the products I wanted used. Once I sat down, it was clear my stylist was in a mood. He refused to use any of the products I requested, saying he "doesn't like them," and proceeded to blow dry my hair with zero heat protection. The blowout was rough and he was aggressive with my hair, couldn't get it straight, and it was obvious I was in pain. Wanted to get up and walk out the entire time, and honestly should have. Went home, washed my hair, and redid it myself. Paying $70 for that experience was not okay. I don't write bad reviews often, but felt I had to warn others.

As a first-time mom, it took me a while to finally make time for myself, so I was really looking forward to this experience after reading so many positive reviews. I arrived 15 minutes early as suggested so I could relax before my appointment. My appointment was scheduled for 11:15 AM, but I was not called in until around 11:35 AM. Since it was my first visit, I was expecting a bit more guidance and explanation throughout the process. During the treatment, I received a scalp analysis at the beginning, but I was a little disappointed that there was no post-treatment scalp check afterward to compare the results or see any difference. The massage itself was great and relaxing, but I also felt uncomfortable at times because the eye mask and the water used while washing my hair felt too hot occasionally. At checkout, I felt confused about the charges because the receptionist was chatting with coworkers and handling a DoorDash order while assisting me, so the deposit and final charges were not clearly explained to me. I ended up just paying and leaving because I did not feel like I had her full attention, and I decided it would be better to email afterward for clarification. Thankfully, the owner was very kind, responded to my email promptly, clarified the issue, and offered to refund the mistaken charge. I really appreciated how professionally the owner handled the situation. Overall, while there were parts of the experience I enjoyed, especially the massage and the owner's customer service afterward, the visit itself did not fully meet the expectations I had going in.

The treatment rooms are so beautiful, the whole world disappears once you step inside.

If you're on the fence about trying this spa out, don't hesitate to book your service! You will be so happy you did.

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.

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.
