    Glossy and feral curtesy of Joseph!
    Nadia B.

    I absolutely love coming to Union Salon in South Pasadena--Joseph is truly exceptional. He is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and consistent, and my hair has never looked or felt healthier. He cuts both my hair and my son's, and every visit feels personalized and effortless. There's a level of care and precision in his work that's hard to find, and you can tell he genuinely takes pride in what he does. Beyond the cut, the entire experience is what keeps me coming back. The shampoo and scalp massage alone are worth the visit--so relaxing and indulgent. The salon carries fantastic Oribe products, and the space itself is always spotless, calm, and beautifully maintained. I also love the lounge area, the great music, and the thoughtful touches like coffee and drinks. Plus, easy parking makes it all the more convenient. I highly recommend Union Salon--such a gem.

    Thanks to Sabrina

    Sabrina, Sabrina & Sabrina! Remember her name and memorize it when you book your next haircut.I originally found her on TikTok, where she calls herself the "thick hair specialist." As someone with a true THICK lion's mane (yes I know what you're thinking, I am a Leo), I've had some atrocious haircut experiences with thinning shears! It feels like everybody and their mother is graduating beauty school, without knowing how to actually cut hair, who wants to have thin hair???? THE THINNING SHEARS NEEDS TO BE BANNED GLOBALLY. Anyways, Sabrina is amazing, she took her time, gave me a coffee cup and completely delivered. For the first time in forever I'm paying $100 for a service that was well worth the price and didn't feel like I just paid someone to chop me, my hair and my heart to shreds. Look for yourself (see images attached)

    Lora is amazing!! I'm seriously so happy with how my hair turned out. She paid so much attention to every little detail, and you can tell she really cares about getting it just right. I asked for face-framing highlights/and layers and she did exactly what I asked, super flattering and perfectly blended with the rest of my hair. She has such a good eye and you can feel how passionate she is about her work. I left feeling obsessed with my new look. If you want someone who's going to actually listen to what you want, pay close attention to detail, and leave you feeling your absolute best, go to Lora. I couldn't recommend her enough!

    Loveeed this salon! So roomy and cute, and they have little beverages while you get your service! I got my hair cut by Stephanie and I loveddd the result!! I have extremely long hair and was honestly traumatized by my last botched cut at a different salon. I told Stephanie about that experience and she explained everything so thoroughly and helped me choose a cut that would suit my long hair. This is a photo she took after my cut - love it so much!

    Amazing experience!! Seamless booking process and staff is very nice. When you check in for your appointment, there's complimentary water and teas! I've had a shoulder-length haircut with Amanda twice now, and had such a positive experience. I showered her reference pictures from Pinterest both times, and she guided me throughout the whole hair cutting process with recommendations and an attention to detail like no other. I will be back :D Great vibe with high-quality products! Parking is metered outside and plenty available outside

    I found a hair stylist ANGEL! Joseph thank you so much again I was so nervous going in since I had the worst experience and made the biggest regret when dying my hair for the first time. I was left with a burnt scalp, uneven thick highlights and traumatized. When I started showing so much warmth in my hair I knew it was time to do my in-depth research on which salon to go to and service to select. Union salon ended up being my safe haven. It is a very welcoming environment and everyone was so nice! Joseph was my stylist and gave me so much insight and explanation on what previously happened to me and options that I had. Something that wasn't done with the previous salon I went to. He took his time and gave the best head message! I was already falling asleep by the time my haircut came lol. I am someone that fortunately but unfortunately has long thick hair that can become heavy but Joseph gave me such a lightweight but still voluminous and face framing layer haircut. Girlies if you are on the hunt for a new hair salon or hair stylist please come here. Thank you so much again Joseph! Also they use Oribe products

    I've been coming to Union Salon specifically to get my balayage by Nicky Dommett. She is a wizard with blending and blends my hair so naturally that it hides my grey hair and I don't have constant maintenance. Hands down my favorite stylist. I finally remembered to take a picture last time I was in her chair. I also love this salon and their entire vibe, music selection, front desk, shampoo bar, etc. also the beverages and overall service.

    Been coming here for a while now, probably a few years and haven't had any problem with any staff…read moreuntil this time this last service really disappointed me and made me feel very uncomfortable. The girl who was supposed to do my waxing was already in a rush, rushing me when I got in there and was presenting with attitude. She had a bracelet on that kept rubbing my eyelid when she was working on my eyebrows, and I had verbalized to her in a nice manner originally, but she was having attitude already at me and basically being pretty rough when it comes to removing the wax. And then she missed a few spot and when I pointed out that she missed a spot, she was giving me attitude while telling me to lie down and then when I got back up after she was done and told me that she was done, she looked at me and was like what are you doing? I still need to put cream on you. And suddenly I feel gaslit because she was the one who told me to get up and then she followed that by asking if we have any problems because I am making her feel very uncomfortable here while giving me attitude. When really I haven't really verbalized anything and I have barely verbalized my concern about the eyelid and that's basically because her bracelet keeps touching my eyelid because it dingles down. The front desk lady have said that she tends to have attitude for whoever is last on her list and I find a very unfair that they book her as my cosmetologist if they know that that's the issue. If they're going to hire employees are representing their company I sure hope that they evaluate their personality and their customer service aspect because that is the most important when it comes to these kind of role and if they're not happy and don't wanna work here, they really shouldn't take additional clients or they shouldn't have the job here. As someone who works in a place of customer service, I always make sure that I don't bring my personal opinions or emotions in. This whole experience made me feel kind of uncomfortable and also feeling like I don't really want to come back and make an appointment with that person ever again. By the end of the session after she gave me the mirror I told her she had missed a few spot. I mean, there were clearly hair in those area, and she clearly was very upset by me pointing at things that I'm just merely pointing out at as anyone would and she is just showing her bad mood and the environment that didn't need that. And after this time, she was done, she not only did not let me check in the mirror. She also told me that I am good to go. I am very uncomfortable I am very disappointed with my experience and I don't wish that on anyone. When I finally got to my car, I noticed not only a few spots but many spot that she missed and I can't really even walk in because I'm kind of scared and worried to really deal with her and I honestly don't want her to ever service me ever again . And I hope that nobody becomes her victim because that is just some rough waxing services watching someone having a resting bitch face and attitude the whole time when really I just want to come here to be vulnerable and did nothing wrong.

    I didn't have a bad experience, just an okay one. I got a Brazilian wax and it went great, it was…read moremy first time. The vibe was a little awkward though, since my servicer didn't really talk to me, but that could also be personal preference. I like when conversation happens because it makes me less nervous and has me feel less awkward. I also didn't like how to only way to really book another session for "cheap" was by buying a package and the packages were pretty pricey. You also had to pay almost in full if not half the package price when checking out if you opted for it. I also felt a little pressured into buying stuff from their little shop since my waxer was watching me and explaining everything to me and I felt awkward saying no. Again, just a personal thing, I'm a little awkward when it comes to that lol. I'm not going back, but just because I found a different place that had cheaper prices and a different vibe that fit what I was looking for.

After I moved away and tried other places, the difference was clear, long, painful sessions! When I moved back to Pasadena, returning to Jenny was a wonderful. Her technique is so precise and fast you're in and out before you know it, almost unbelievably quick and comfortable compared to anywhere else. She's also genuinely warm, down to earth, and easy to talk to. She makes you feel completely at ease from the moment you walk in. Every appointment feels like catching up with a kind friend rather than just getting waxed. Her personality is the perfect bonus to her exceptional skill. The studio is cute, clean, and super convenient with easy parking. After experiencing the alternatives, I can confidently say no one else compares. Jenny is the complete package, outstanding at her craft and a truly nice person. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I recommend her to everyone!

I was a little nervous walking in (I kept thinking of that scene from The 40-Year-Old Virgin movie), but Jenny completely put me at ease. She's super friendly, outgoing, and genuinely cares about making sure you're comfortable the entire time. From the start, she explained the whole process clearly and walked me through what to expect, including aftercare. You can tell she really knows her stuff, and she makes the experience as smooth (literally) and pain-free as possible. I'm a pretty hairy guy and thought it was going to be torture, but it really wasn't bad at all--and the results were great. She's also really respectful and appreciative of military veterans, which I appreciated as a veteran myself. That little extra recognition meant a lot. Jenny is awesome at what she does, and on top of that, she's just a great person to talk to. I'll definitely be going back to her for future services. Highly recommend.
