    Hidden spot in Pasadena and I'm glad I found this gem thanks to a neighbor! This salon is considered a true Japanese salon, which I've never experienced before, only been going to Korean salons the past several years. I made an appointment for Wednesday evening and I didn't have to wait at all. Motoki was the only one there at that time so it was a great time getting to know about him and the business. Motoki cut my hair with mainly his shears so that's a rare thing, since most have their electric razors. The best part of going here was the hair washing and massage. I was already tired from the day and during the wash and a head/shoulder massage, I almost knocked out and wished it lasted longer! I'm looking forward to coming back in the future and not driving to ktown anymore. Thank you Motoki.

    I have ultra thick wavy Asian hair, and I have lots of it. Motoki took time to look at the texture of my hair, and he really listened to what I wanted. I asked him to keep as much length as possible and to remove some volume, and he did just that. I can't recommend Motoki enough! The salon space was neat and clean and is in Salon Republic. There is underground parking, and the salon validates up to 90 minutes. Overall, a great experience!

    Amazing as always! This is my first time coming back after they moved to the new location in Salon Republic. Motoki is wonderful, very friendly and professional, and he literally put me to sleep with his awesome scalp massage!!! I was there for a hair treatment, this time they were using a new tool called ultrasonic iron to promote the penetration of the active ingredients. My hair felt like silky smooth after. Love the new technology they brought into the salon.

    Isn't my hair lovely?!

    I. Am. Elated. Nothing beats a good Japanese hair salon. I found this place almost by accident! I can't even tell you how happy I am with my hair! It smells so good! The cut and color was phenomenal. Everything about this experience made me happy. Thank you, Motoki-san! I will

    Balayage and haircut by Erika

    So glad that I found this place to get my hair color and cut! Erika has such a great eye for balayage and the color comes out so natural. She listens and understands the style that I like. The salon has such a relaxed vibe as well. During covid times, I feel super safe, everyone is very spaced out.

    My hair cut from Motoki!

    This place doesn't have the amount of reviews it deserves. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. I'm always searching for a good hair cut, but I typically lean towards Japanese salons. I've always gotten amazing hair cuts in Japan and it's obviously hard to find that caliber back here. It's one thing to find a Japanese salon (there's plenty of those) but it's usually the style of cut I'm looking for and I think I've found it here at N° 147 with Motoki. Motoki took my dead and dry bleached ends and gave my hair life. The ends of my hair are so soft and healthy right now. My hair before my cut was mostly a single length with very few layers. Motoki added some layers in the front to show off my highlights even more. (Just a note, I didn't get my highlights here, I had them when I came in). He was very upfront about how much he would need to cut and where he would be cutting, and I have to say, he was very accurate about it. You get a nice little massage with the cut, and overall, it's like a very nice peaceful vibe inside. Motoki and I were the only two people inside during my appointment, which I really liked. COVID is still a concern for me, and I definitely appreciated that it wasn't a packed salon with 1 stylist working on 3 people with 4 other people waiting. You're very much the only client that each stylist works with. My boyfriend also really likes coming here. Other than the cut, you can find parking near Oakland and El Dorado. It's free 2 hour street parking there, and I saw plenty (I went in on a weekday in the middle of the day). If you're getting your hair dyed or going in for a longer process, you might want to check with the salon to see if you can park in the church lot. I don't think N° 147 has their own dedicated lot. The salon is located below street level on Los Robles. I think it's pretty easy to find, but look for stairs that go down from the street, not up.

    New hair cut by Motoki

    The absolute best in the LA area. I used to go to hair salon at Beverly Hills. It was so pricy and the turned out wasn't l expected. By far Motoki is the best hair stylist I've had. He is very welcoming and give helpful tips. Also, overall provide a great professional experience that will no doubt! Plus their new service "CAREPRO" was truly amazing. My hair just really silky smooth right now. Highly recommended Motoki for your hair stylist !

    Haircut and tokio treatment from Nana (it was completely dead before from me bleaching and coloring it at home).
    Lily P.

    After I over-bleached and colored my hair at home, I went to see Nana to bring my dead hair back to life with a haircut and tokio treatment. Nana was so sweet and fun! She gave me an excellent haircut and the treatment went a long way to making my hair look more alive again! Her attention to detail is amazing. She went over every bit of my hair and cut split ends to improve my texture. She gave me a little head, neck and shoulder massage in between the treatment and haircut. I felt like I was at a spa. I've never had such care at a salon! She was easy to talk to and explain what I wanted. She knew cool things about style I might like and I learned new things. She made me feel cute again :) I will definitely be going back. Thank you!

    Ariana H.

    Its rare to have someone automatically understand what my hair needs the way Nana did, and she took the time to achieve it. I'd trust her to do anything with my hair! Thanks for the chop, everyone's obsessed

However, when I got home, I discovered I had chemical burns on my scalp, neck and face, as well as a blister on my ear that broke the skin. It's been more than 24 hours and the symptoms are still present and highly uncomfortable. I've had many color treatments and balayages in the past and this has never happened to me before, so I'm very concerned. I love my hair, but the skin damage makes this a really tough experience. Edit: I am updating my rating from 2 to 3 stars to express my appreciation for the salon's prompt communication and offer of a refund. To keep my review honest and transparent, I do want to note that the physical reaction I experienced was a clear chemical burn, with localized areas feeling burning and oozing. This might have been an oversight during the process--such as product being left on a bit too long or not rinsed out thoroughly. The stylists here are undeniably talented, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time during the appointment itself. While the physical reaction was unfortunate, their effort to communicate with me is appreciated.
