It provides privacy and a one of kind experience. Not to mention, she has decorated it so well. This speaks to how thoughtful she is about the entire experience. While I'm sure life lifes for her as well, she's always bubbly and welcoming. Dana is punctual and doesn't overbook. Quality of service I've had a deep treatment, trim, and sew-in so far but I've been several times for a bi-weekly wash and silk press. I was beyond satisfied with all services. No tension. No loose threads. If there were any after my wash she'd fix it with no problem. I'm excited to try my next style. I would highly recommend Dana over and over.

It always ended in a fine straight cut/bad curly cut. She said their first salon was called "Therapy" because it's a common story from curly-haired customers. She walked me through how to get more water into my curls for definition, that I needed a clarifying shampoo every so often, and that I was applying my products incorrectly (then taught me how to do it correctly for my curl type). She spent a lot of time talking me through what she was doing and how to get better results from my hair - both in definition and in multiple days of wear. It was really a life changing experience because now I feel confident in how to get this look again - and where I can finally go when I need a good haircut!

Service received was a wash + conditioner, blow dry, flat iron, trim/cut and a wavy curl style. Stylist: April. I paid $200 including tip. A little more than I am used to, but it had been a while since I had gotten my hair done, so not pressed. I am happy that April was able to get me in and out by 3:15 which was great as I had an event to go to and needed to be on time. The salon connects to April Bloom, a cute clothing boutique that the salon owner (April) also operates. Very cute! There is parking in a lot or street parking. Love a no hassle experience. I Recommend!

Ms. Yasmin was extremely patient with our questions over the phone being this was our first time. We sent her photos of our daughters hair and a sample image what our daughter wanted and she was able to do it. Ms. Yasmin. She was willing to go get the color hair for us but our daughter was undecided on the colors she wanted. Ms. Yasmin gave us the place to go and told us what type of packet to look for. This was a big help. Our daughter went a multitude of colors. We met Ms.Yasmin at her shop and greeted right away. She explained the process and made us comfortable. Even though it was 6 hours but we had a great time with her. Her air conditioning made the time go by in extreme comfort. Even though our son was all over the room, she took it all in stride. She keeps her shop extremely clean and the restroom too! I did what I could do to help keep the floor clean. But that's just me. We will be taking our daughter back when she's ready to have her hair re-done.

I don't know what to say...Tami "Suga Momma" is a class act. This girl flat out knows what she's…read moredoing. I recently relocated from Northern Cali to Southern and was scared to death to "switch hair girls." If you're like me, this is a BIG DEAL! Tami gave me what I wanted.... The best full sewn-in weave I've ever had. THEN (yes there is more), I spoke to her about my crazy travel schedule for work. I' m on the road 3 days out of the week and she gently suggested considering a lace front wig. It allows for more durability and easier, more economical fixes. I ordered a lace front and my hair is the bomb! First, when I went home with my full sewn in weave I got compliments like crazy! I ordered the hair she suggested (she provided many options for my budget...and I still have it in my drawer...lol). Second, the lace front idea for my lifestyle has made a huge difference. Again, I got my lace front from a place that she suggested and I haven't looked back. I am serious about my weaves and about my hair care underneath. Suga momma (Tammi) cares about both and even uses special elixirs to take care of my natural hair underneath. I'd be more than happy to give a recommendation if you need (see info below). I've been in the weave world for years and haven't been happier. I buy expensive products and expect the same for my hair treatments. I'm not looking back! This is the way to go and I'd recommend her many times over!

I'm sorry SugaMama for this delayed review-- I've been too busy flaunting my braids!…read more Things I look for in cornrows: 1. NEATNESS 2. last for AT LEAST 3 weeks. (I need my money's worth, and 3 weeks ain't bad at all) 3. some care tips from the beauty expert... well that's a bonus I guess. SugaMama's works her magic in my hair. I'm Asian with thinner than the usual African American hair, and yes the process did hurt but beauty doesn't come free. The end result: every braid was perfectly lined, and my hair was kept so incredibly tidy. When the hair is braided so close to the scalp, you know this is some high quality expertise. 4+ weeks later, my braids are looking nice, only somewhat looser because the hair grows out... but compared to the last place I went to, I'm really getting my money's worth. At the end, SugaMama gave me some tips on washing my hair (don't let the water hit those braids!) and recommended me some gels just in case my hair didn't stay put (I have layers so of course I'd have this slight problem). Shows she really cares! I got cornrows done back in December 2011, and those 'rows still last! I went to my company holiday party with the whole hair going on, and everyone loved them. I've been receiving compliments all over cali (back in the SF Bay and in the LA malls), and I'm lovin' the attention :) from the boys even. Here's my photo on instagram: http://instagr.am/p/ZRpdk/ By the way, SugaMama is so sweet; I felt immediately welcomed when I stepped through that door. Definitely going back for them 'rows.

Jazmine is amazing, I've gotten haircuts from her for a long time and she's so excellent, always great with my wavy/curly hair. Also just a rad person, which is nice. What's new for me here is the Brazilian Blowout with Taleen. I've gotten the brazilian blowout done many times in the past, it's really it for my hair when it works. But after some weak results from a couple of other places - the treatment only lasted a week, or didn't really work at all - I tried to quit altogether. Well I'm reviewing Brazilian Blowout so you know how that went - I'm back on the bandwagon and I gotta say I'm loving it. I found out I could get it done at HotHeads with Taleen, booked it, done. On the day Taleen talked with me first about the process and my hair and my goals - I was like give me everything you've got, make the frizz regret being born. She took her time being thorough and professional, and kept checking in with me to see if I was doing ok, needed a break or anything (iykyk this miracle takes time). It came out so shiny smooth, and it's been 6 weeks so far and even with daily marine layer by the beach where I live, my hair is still behaving. Since I don't have to spend forever dealing with my hair every day, I had time to write the longest yelp review ever - thanks Taleen!

But it got to a point where I needed to cut my hair because it became unmanageable with a 4 month old baby. I found Hotheads on Yelp since I am local to Pasadena. I called the salon, and the owner answered. She was super friendly and asked what I was looking for. I asked for a "trim" but made it clear I have postpartum hair loss so I'd like a consultation too since I don't know what do to with it. Quickly, I got contacted by Stephanie. She was quick to get me scheduled in that same week. Thank goodness! I was going back to work soon so I wanted to cut my hair before then. Fast forward to my appointment. I parked on the street in front of the store. I was greeted by Stephanie right away. She let me change into a salon gown and we started chatting about what I'd like all while washing my hair. I told her I want a trim and some layers. However I'm losing my hair so I wanted to see what she recommended to make it still look full and healthy. Stephanie suggested cutting the thin ends of my hair and doing layers in the front. I'd say the wash, cut and hair dry took about an hour. Which felt quick since we had really good chat about motherhood. Since I'm so low maintenance with my hair, I let her take the lead, did everything she recommended and I'm SO happy that I did! It's literally the best hair cut I've ever gotten. We took off about 7 inches from the bottom and my hair still looks long. The layers shape my face and I feel brand new! Thank you Stephanie for my new look. This new mama feels so good! I'll see you next time for another "trim" :)
