You don't have to think twice, just go to Sally. She never disappointed you! I used to be shy and not so confident about myself, but since i met Sally, it completely changed. I couldn't count how many time people give me compliments about my hair. My life is so much better when i got my hair done by her. Whatever you want, she get it for you, even more than what you expected. She's also a very friendly person, she knows a lot about traveling. So you're not only talk to her about hair but so many things else. I only come to Sally maybe once every 4-5months because i'm still a student and my budget is tight, but she remembers everything about me and she know exactly what i want to do with my hair So, say no more, if you want nice beautiful hair, book appointment right now if you don't want to wait because she has a lot of clients read more

Sally is your girl when it comes to your hair needs! So let me tell you something about myself: when I'm bored, I tend to cut my bangs and then I mess them up to the point where people question my life choices. Sally, on the other hand, helped save my bangs when I thought there was no point of return. She also cut the rest of my savage- and uneven-looking hair and made it look normal (phew!). She knew how to work with my thick, Asian hair and she was able to tag-team with her assistant, Eden, to make sure that the whole mishap with my hair would not happen again. I'll definitely swing by when I'm ready to commit to the balayage since my hair needs more dimension; I just can't be too lazy when it comes to taking care of my hair. If you are interested in balayage, you can definitely check her portfolio on her IG - her handle is: bookwithsally. Thanks Sally and Eden! read more

Sally is my go to hair stylist! No one else has touched my hair in years. She was able to help me go from jet black to ashy silver/blonde within one session. Other hair stylists in the past have really damaged my hair, but Sally takes her time and makes sure that my hair stays healthy. If it takes two sessions she will let me know, just so that we don't push my hair too hard. I highly recommend her and trust her 100%! read more

My friend/coworker recommended Sally to me as I was looking for someone to fix my horrendous orange hair.. She did that and much more. I have been going to her for over a year now. She is definitely an amazing colorist and stylist. I am happy with every cut I get (before I started seeing her, I HATED ever haircut I had). She's easy to talk to and gives great advice catered to your hair type, skin tone, and desired look. She works out of Union Salon South. Ample free parking in the attached lot. Large, clean facility. I referred my other coworker to Sally and she loves her as well! read more

Sally does my hair and is amazing in every way possible. Two years ago I had my hair done by a friend in her kitchen (not the best idea I know) and the auburn I was thinking of turned out into a dark burgundy on my hair. I hated it. So I turned to my trusty fellow yelpers to help me find a salon that was excellent at color correction. Thank God for the salon that set me up with Sally. Sally is amazing. Just amazing, I can always trust her to listen to exactly what I want and do a better job than I even envisioned. Sally has seen me through all the colors of the (natural) rainbow, from my ashy blond natural, to my beautiful, long copper balayage that she has tweaked to long lasting perfection, and almost everything in between. I get compliments constantly on how beautiful and healthy my hair looks and its all thanks to dear Sally. I trust her implicitly with my hair, and as long as I live in the greater Los Angeles area will never go to anyone else. I would follow Sally anywhere. She is always a good sport when I tell her I was thinking of something slightly different than her tried and true formula, and works with me to develop the perfect color. She is super easy to talk to, and extremely talented. She has changed me from a vibrant copper to bright red with deeper lowlights to the rich auburn I've been rocking for the past 4 months and each one has been just as pretty as the last. Go see Sally! She's amazing!! read more

Sally Nguyen - My current beautiful Auburn that Sally did for me :) - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been coming to Sally for cut/color for the last 3-4 years. I initially came when another salon messed up my hair and Sally did an outstanding job with my color correction. After that day, I've been loyal!!! She is knowledgeable, real , down to earth and always goes above and beyond with whatever she does! She will listen to what you want, but provide feedback as to how to maintain and care for your hair as well! I trust Sally with my hair! I always leave Union Salon South satisfied and feeling fabulous! read more

Love Sally! I've been coming to her for a little over three years now and I leave each visit feeling refreshed. I moved from Pasadena to the Bay Area about a year ago, and still manage to fly all the way to Sally just to get my hair done! I don't trust anyone with my hair BUT Sally! Scheduling and communication has never been a problem; she tries to be flexible as best as possible. I've had full color and cut done in the beginning, but now consistently receive balayage and cut. She's a definite pro at balayage and gets the coloring to my liking every time. I also ask questions about which products to use in order to maintain the balayage and keep my hair healthy, and she sends me photos of the products, tells me where to buy them and how to best use them. She's always been super honest, attentive and down to earth. She'll answer any question or concern, and overall helps you figure out what would be best for your hair while also listening to what you want. Sally is also a great person to just chit chat with and seek advice from about daily things -- the hottest food spots especially!!! Sally is the best hairstylist! read more

Sally did a perfect job on my first balayage! She was patient in explaining my options and was super fun to chat with. I love my new look, I highly recommend her and would definitely come back! read more

Balayage was nicely done with excellent service....Sally will be my all time favorite hair stylist from now on!!!

Sally is awesome ! She did such a great job with my hair ! I asked for a subtle balayage and she did exactly what I wanted ! she had to color treat my hair first since it was super brassy and blonde ! I thought it would take longer but she was super efficient! I was out in about 4 hours !!! Definitely recommend coming to her for your hair needs :) read more

I came into the salon for an appointment with Sally in March, she sits and asks me what I want, I show her a picture and stated that I want a dark base with low lights or somewhat of a subtle balayage and haircut. She then says "I can't do that", mind you my hair is below my waist and had some split ends like everyone else does. She says my hair is too damaged and doesn't have the time to even cut my hair or color it, although I had made an appointment months ago specifically for what I wanted and knew it would take at least a few hours! How does she say she has no time for color or cut? Ugh, My roots were grown out about 3 inches so I tell her to do what she can, being my first experience I was hopeful. She then says "I can only add highlights". She was so rude to me complaining about my hair, giving me attitude, and making smart comments, and when I mentioned a couple of people who knew her and had recommended her to me, she then completely changed her attitude and became fake! She puts bleach on my hair (in a rush), has her lovely assistant do most of the work, then looks at my hair and realizes she left it on for too long burning my hair but luckily my hair toughed it out and didn't fall out. As I listen in on Sally scolding her assistant about her mistakes of leaving me under the heat for too long, Sally added 2 treatments to my hair, I assume because Sally was not communicating well with me about anything that was going on or what she was doing. So after all, she "had time" to cut and blowdry my hair, style it and make it look "not so burned". I felt embarrassed, sucked it up and accepted that my roots were so obvious, and my hair looked bad, the next day it looked worse! my hair looked dirty no matter how many times I washed it. My roots were black and then I had other tones in it. I will never come back, maybe she didn't like me, I don't know but I kept my cool and was never rude or disrespectful. NOT WORTH $300+ dollars I spent, and also buying some products she swore I couldn't get anywhere else! I spent another $100+ on that! Not worth it and will never come back. This is my review on MY experience, to each it's own and good luck! I do not recommend buying products here, save your money and buy elsewhere for way less! Nor do I recommend Sally. read more

Sally Nguyen - Picture taken a day after Sally did a "balayage". Roots are black and have a light base at the bottom. Not a happy customer. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

Sally is a sweetheart. She listens, down to earth and easy to talk to. First hair stylist that actually listens. Her technique/style is something special, almost natural-like. I wanted 1/2 in off since i wanted to stay at the same length but w/shorter layers. Usually, other stylists would cut almost 2in off but she doesn't. Her rate is reasonable since it includes wash, cut & style. She takes her time and makes sure you're satisfied and happy w/the results. read more

I snagged a much earlier appointment than my actual one because a customer rescheduled. I was overjoyed. I booked with Sally for a Balayage ombre. Since I used to box dye my hair, Sally said results may vary and I might not be able to go as light as I wanted. But the results ended up very well. And it turned out just as I wanted it to. Sally was very nice and informative throughout the appointment. Her assistant was also awesome. I will no doubt be coming back. It's definitely always great to know that I will be spending my money for the best results. Cheers read more

Sally Nguyen - I love the results! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

This review is for my girl Sally! And let me just start off by saying, finding a good hair stylist is probably one of the hardest things for us girls, am I not right?! Well, originally while spending spring break in LA, I wasn't exactly planning on getting a hair cut but really wanted to see if LA salons were really better than the ones we had in the bay area. So after doing a ton of calling around to local salons to see if they could squeeze me in LITERALLY hours before we needed to head back to SF, my very resourceful hubby found me this place on Yelp! As we hurried over there, I had just caught Sally on her way home and to much relief she was willing to stay and work on the mess of hair that just dangled unevenly from my head, from previous hair cuts gone wrong! The Verdict: SUPER shiny, bouncy, SEXY and definitely EVEN hair!! I was not only amazed by how sweet she but how easy it was to talk to her about anything. We literally spent that entire hour talking and the time just flew by. Unlike so many of the bay area salons I had tried she was the first stylist I had that not only cut my hair but took the time to style it, curl it and make it look super nice! :) Unfortunately, I had to knock off a star because it's going to cost me an arm and a leg to get down there before my wedding for my NEXT hair cut!! :( You gotta move up here if you want that star back,, ya hear?!! PS: I was only kidding..I'm still giving her 5 stars otherwise I'm afraid my hairs gonna fall out! lol Bottom line: If you're suffering from fugly hair syndrome..go see Sally! She's got just the remedy for you I'm sure!! ;) read more

I've had several hair cuts and coloring done by Sally. Each and every time, I have not been disappointed. She has a energetic and fun personality. She makes you feel welcome and comfortable during the whole process. She recently moved to a new salon, so if you are thinking about getting a quality cut or adding some color to your hair, I would highly recommend her! read more

Sally is amazing! She listens to what her clients want. I asked for a subtle balayage on my virgin black hair and it turned out just the way I wanted read more

I'm in love with my hair! Sally is the best! She takes her time, and listens to what you want. I found her on Yelp and IG. & She had a lot of positive reviews, so I decided to give her a shot! She did an amazing job. She cut my hair the first time I met her. & yesterday she did balayage, which I'm completely in love with! As far as price, it was ok I've been to other salons in Koreatown and it was about the same. You get what you pay for bottom line! Ps.

Sally is my go to girl!! Quick trim: she's got you. New look: she's gonna help get you there. I'm in love with the way this girl works! So professional. She asks all the right questions. How do you regularly style your hair? Where do you part it? How short do you want it? What colors are you going for? Ok ok, one may think every stylist asks those questions, BUT do they listen to you? Sally does! I'm in the process of growing out my hair so I didn't want a cut too short. Usually stylists cut and cut and cut, and I'm stuck with a cut 3 inches more than I agreed to. Who wants to pay for something you didn't ask for?? Not me... I showed how much I was willing to chop off along with the instruction of long layers and she followed exactly what I asked for. Color wise, this girl is golden! I told her specifics: ombre, I can't have it too bright, can't have it too high, but I would like to see a definite change. AH-MAZ-ING!! She mixed colors together and got the color I wanted! Genius! I'm a loyal customer with Sally, and would definitely recommend her to my family, friends and fellow yelpers! read more

Sally Nguyen - Cut and color. Ombre, long layers. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

Sally is absolutely amazing!! Every time I come in she always does the best color! I'm a student so money can be tight which is why I love that Sally can work the color in to the hair so that constant touch ups can be avoided!! She is the best and definitely worth the drive from Northridge!! read more

Finally went back for my second appointment since February. I went in to go a little lighter and for a cut. I'm even more in love now! :) Even though Sally is SUPER DUPER busy all the time (usually booked for months) she was able to squeeze me in very last minute which I was thankful for! She's amazing at what she does. Even though I went a few shades lighter, my hair doesn't feel as "dead" as it would if I went to my old place. She gives you exactly what you want. Thank you Sally for my ahhhmazing hair! :) read more

Wonderful Experience every time!! She is very creative and stylish. I really appreciate that she takes her time. I have tried several place and I finally feel found my personal hair stylist. As a guy who doesn't like to spend that much money on a haircut, she is worth it. read more

Been going to Sally for 3 years and she is the best :) I getting balayage done by her and minimal hair damage because she knows what she's doing. She's like a chemist when she spits the toner combinations out. I've already converted a friend of mine to go to her! She's also my therapist lol. Love her, you won't regret it! read more

OMG, what can I say about Sally Nguyen that others haven't said already about the amazing job she did with my hair!! This is my 1st time getting my hair colored by Sally and so very happy that I've waited the 2 months for my appointment with her! Sally is very knowledgeable and informative about colors and what will work. She will listen to what you want and then advise you whether it'll work or not and why. I'm totally % happy and satisfied that she was able to turn my disastrous hair color from my Previous hairdresser into something amazing! Sally has great talent for color and techniques! In addition, Sally will keep you abreast of every step she's doing as well as her assistant Eden! Both Sally and Eden were very friendly! Oh, btw Eden gave a nice head massage while shampooing my hair! Lol The salon itself is modern and clean. I love how there's a designated area to take before and after pictures!! They also offer a great selection of beverages! Summary: If you want a hairstylist who's an expertise at her skills, go to Sally! If you want a hairstylist who listens to what you want, go to Sally!!

Awesome job as always Sally!!! Thank you soooooo much, I love my balyage!!! Ready for another year

Ask for Sally! I love everything she's done with my hair and get so many compliments on my color. I had the ash blonde bayalage done and she is the only stylist who has been able to achieve it perfectly on my my dark Asian hair. Plus, she's a foodie and you know you can always trust someone who loves good food! read more

I've started coming to Union Salon since 4 years ago and everytime I have my hair done and come out of their doors I feel like a new person in a good way. How my hair looks after gives me so much confidence. Sally's Balayage is always perfection! Thank you Sally and Union Salon South! read more

Sally is making magic up in there !!!!! She knows what's up !!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXO !!!!!!

Omg I love Sally! I've been going to her since 2013 and I only trust her with my hair now. She knows how to cut my hair exactly the way I like it, and each ombré/balayage she's done on me has come out perfectly every time! I've gone through several sessions already but my hair is not dry or damaged at all. She's my lifetime hairstylist and I will continue seeing her for as long as I can! read more

Sally is a Great Hairstylist! I'm an owner of 2 beauty salons and I've heard nothing but great things about her work!

No one does it better than Sally Nguyen for bayalage hair. Especially asian hair because we all know bleach only turns our hair orange and when you look at her instagram @ssaalllyy you see all but orange tones. She's like a crazy chemist mixing the perfect concoction to suit your individuality. The crazy thing is she knows the formula off the top of her head the moment she sees you even when it has been months. Been doing highlight for a good 15 yrs of my life and never have I recieved so many compliments on my hair until I went to her. Besides her talented craft, the salon had a great ambiance, music, artwork, great selection of beverages available and offers amazing lines of hair products. read more

Sally is my girl when it comes to my hair, but recently she has moved salons. So if you're looking for her, she now works at Union Salon South on 435 S Fair Oaks Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105. read more

I am a true believer of Sally's artistry. She is quite the talent. I have always admired her work and a couple weeks ago I was able to experience it first hand. I'm a new mother of three- my twins are a little over a year and my youngest was born in August. You can imagine how much of a treat it was to visit Sally and get the best treatment. She is so down to earth yet so professional and I was beyond impressed with the result on my former black hair, which I got balayaged and now has a great shape to it. Despite my hair being so stubborn, Sally was able to achieve the look I only hoped for. She and her assistant were awesome and they created a very inviting environment. I was there with my youngest baby and my mom. Luckily Sally made sure it was safe for the baby prior to my appointment. They kept making sure we were comfortable, even though I was her last client and I had gone over the allotted time. She made me feel fabulous and it was so easy to trust her. I highly recommend Sally, you will NOT regret it. It is no wonder she books fast. read more

Sally Nguyen is the colorist queen! Come see her!!

Sally did an amazing job coloring my hair. I had previously attempted to get a balayage/ombré color job from a Korean salon, and was disappointed by the sloppy job. Sally worked with me and really made sure that she understood what I wanted. The ash brown balayage came out perfectly! I'm in love with this hair color, and the soft and natural look of the color blends well with my dark brown/black Asian hair. I have since received lots of complements from friends and strangers alike about my balayage highlights, and I can't imagine trusting anyone else other than Sally in the future with my hair color! read more

I've been coming to sally for a little over a year and she's amazing. I've struggled to find a stylist that makes my hair come out exactly how I like it. Ashy not brassy!! She's super honest too! Very pleased with her work. read more

I did balayage for the first time and after doing a lot of research, I stumbled upon Sally and her devoted followers on Instagram. She was amazing! My hair came out gorgeous, soft, ashy, but natural - just like how I wanted! She's also super sweet and great to talk to. I highly recommend her and will only come back to her now for coloring! read more

I've been coming to Sally for over 2 years and have referred my friends to her. She is so good at what she does, and she's so personable!

Second time doing my hair with Sally and she is amazing!! Very good communication and so nice..she makes sure that she does the perfect cut and color YOU want. Both times I have been completely satisfied with my hair...love Sally and union salon! read more

Another 5 star review for the fabulous Sally. I found her IG account last year and was pretty impressed with all her pics! I came to her hoping that she would be able to fix the bad ombre I previously had. I didn't even have to show her any pics. I think I just said please do what you think will be nice because anything will look better than what I have right now. She ended up giving me balayage honey color and gave me a cut that made my locks look healthy and shiny again. She also taught me how to care for it and prevent it from turning orange which happens often to Asian hair. After a few months, my hair still looks great and I I try to see her every few months to get a toner. I will be back again in a few months to get it recolored/cut. read more

It's pretty recent that I've wanted to have my hair professionally colored, and so I've do a lot of research to make sure that I know what I want, and that the stylist I book with has experience creating the same results that I'm looking for - all at a fair price. My schedule pretty much only allows me to go to the salon only about twice a year, so I was really picky about my decision. I found Sally on Instagram, and lucky for me, she had a last minute opening for an appointment soon after I emailed her. I'm typically wary of businesses with too many positive reviews, but this is one of the rare cases where I agree that all the reviews were correct. Sally is extremely professional and puts a lot of effort into trying to understand what the customer wants. She takes the time to explain what she's going to do, and is very upfront about the final cost at the beginning of the appointment so that there are no surprises. She takes the initiative to make conversation without being overly intrusive, and she would periodically check up on me to see if I needed anything. I ended up with a cut and balayage (on top of a pre-existing balayage) and the results were amazing. It came out to the perfect ashy light brown/caramel tone I wanted, and my hair has so much more dimension now. It's the first time I can't stop staring at my hair! It all came out to a price point that might be a bit more expensive than most salons, but I thought was very fair because you definitely get what you pay for. Very excited to book my next appointment :) read more
