She always gives me the BEST haircuts and color -- everything looks natural, flattering, and grows out beautifully every time Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also one of the sweetest and most professional people ever.

After 10 years, she still exceeds my expectations every single visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone talented, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about what she does!

I hadn't done anything to my hair in about 2 plus years and let my gray roots come in. My hubby is…read moreretiring soon (he's my silver haired fox) so I decided to finally embrace my gray, too. The hair that Adriana had to deal with was "virgin" hair untouched by processing but very fine. I don't know anything about balayage (and that it works from the tips to the root, not vice-versa) so she helpfully showed me a few pics of gray highlighting and we were set to go. I love the ambience there; very chillax. This happened right between Thanksgiving and Christmas and you get burnt out on all the bouncy music everywhere you go. Luckily, I picked a very quiet establishment with just soft jazzy versions of the holiday stuff. The many live plants as decor really adds to the spa vibe. Make sure you keep your voices low so as not to disturb other patrons, many of whom are fellow Asians like me. I read on their website about the "Head Spa" that they do, which is kind of a 20/40/60 minute facial but for your scalp. Those chairs are so comfy you will, if you're not careful, fall asleep. Every major service (cut and highlights for me) will include a scalp massage. They block out the overhead lights and you feel like you're floating lying down. I might come back regularly for this alone. I recommend this place for people who have stress headaches. They say they use pure jojoba and help exfoliate your scalp. The total for a long hair cut was $94 and the cost of highlights was $325. You put down $100 deposit with your credit card when you make the appointment and they don't cash it until your service is complete. Make sure you're on time or early (I suggest at least 15 mins) or you will be charged 100% penalty. Parking is limited to behind Lake Ave in "Shoppers Lane." If they run out of spots you can also park at the Trader Joe's (west side of Lake) and just buy something there so you can get validated. It was pricey but well worth it. My stylist advised that I come in every few months for toner rinse to keep the highlights bright since the gray will just come in naturally after that. Don't be afraid to do it! Ask for Adriana.

EDIT: The haircut itself actually looks nice after looking at it. I was just in shock with the…read morebangs & then having to pay $120 w this on my head. I had straight across bangs when I walked in so it's not like I don't like bangs on me. They just look like I cut them myself & messed up LOL but I styled them myself just now & it's a little better. . I had such a great experience with Reyka last time so I'm quite disappointed in my experience this time with Yuri. She was very kind but I don't think she asked enough questions throughout the process to know what I wanted. I know it's hard to get 100% exactly what you want unless the stylist can read your mind so I really don't mind it looking a little different. But, the photo I took as soon as I got in the car shows how she sent my bangs out the door... which... I have textured hair but I look like I got smacked by a tornado It was $120 for this :( I drove out from west LA because I really trusted this salon but I think... it's time to find a different one or try Reyka again :(

Needed to refresh my color and Emily did an amazing job…read more She asked me questions and ensured that she understood what I wanted before starting. She showed me color options and gave me her opinions which helped narrow down what color we would end up doing. Emily's personality is also so amazing.

It's located by El Portal and yes, there's a parking lot for them.

This is LONG overdue, but I made my first appointment with Kristin almost 2 years ago, when I…read moredecided to chop off 12+ inches of hair. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, made me feel super comfortable and reassured throughout the whole process, made suggestions based on my best interest long-term, and overall, exceeded my expectations. Fast forward to yesterday, I saw Kristin again to bleach and color my hair for the first time. She was thorough in explaining the process and realistic about maintenance/results, while still taking the time and putting in the effort to achieve the result I was hoping for. It turned out even better than I imagined, and my hair still feels so healthy. On top of all of this, she's been well aware that I've developed moderate to severe eczema over the past year, and ensures that my scalp health is also a high priority by checking in regularly throughout the process. TLDR: Kristin is genuinely so sweet, thoughtful, and caring, and it shows in her work. V grateful for her!! Wish I could gatekeep, but I can't keep her in the dark anymore bc she deserves all the recognition and more

I was really specific with the cut I wanted because I don't like my hair too short and Ami really listened and delivered!! She specializes in haircuts/styles that are long lasting and look better as it grows out without needing much styling - perfect for me since I never have time to style my hair before work. Lots of free parking in the parking lot. They have gendered restrooms, couches to wait on, and Ami even offered me water, teas, and snacks during my visit. She's so sweet! The Union Salon South space is an absolute gem. It's so beautiful with lots of windows, open brick concept, and lots of wonderful stylists walking around. Highly highly recommend Ami - she really listens to what her customers want and isn't pushy with any products.

You don't have to think twice, just go to Sally. She never disappointed you!…read moreI 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

Sally is your girl when it comes to your hair needs!…read more 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!

Finding the salon was easy and there was parking right out front, which made it even better. I stay in South Pasadena on weekends at my boyfriend's house, so I decided to give it a try. EJ was incredibly kind and welcoming. I arrived a few minutes early while he was finishing with another client, and he saw me right at my appointment time. He also offered drinks and snacks, which I really appreciated because I definitely needed the caffeine boost that day. He washed my hair and gave me the trim I desperately needed, removing all my split ends while still keeping my hair long just like I asked. I'm always nervous about losing too much length, but he really listened and delivered exactly what I wanted. His station was also very cute and calming, with plants around the mirror and a dream catcher. I deal with anxiety, so I really appreciated his relaxing energy during the appointment. I usually get my trims done in Beverly Hills with my longtime stylist, and I was pleasantly surprised that the price here was about the same -- $120, which is pretty standard for a good trim in Beverly Hills as well. Since I happened to be in the area, I thought "why not?" and I'm really glad I did because it turned out to be such a pleasant experience.
