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. read more

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) read more

Union Salon - Thanks to Sabrina - Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

Sabrina did an amaaaaaaaaazing job. Came out perfect. I asked for long layers that framed my face well read more

Nick is the man! Best barber in Pasadena by a long shot! Great vibes too! Full service, great people and they have coffee!

Sabrina gave me the exact haircut that I wanted. I'm so happy with her service she's very patient made sure I loved the face framing in the front too and overall did an amazing job. I recommend booking with her. Although one complaint that I have is the front desk is rude and I did not feel welcomed it was a bummer. No greeting, she just gave me the stare down and thought I was stealing someone's appointment even though I booked online in advance with a deposit. Just a heads up for new comers. read more

Jessica cut my hair and I can't rave enough! She is so professional and attentive--she listens to to your needs and concerns and takes a lot of time to make sure you're as comfortable as possible. I cannot recommend her and this salon enough! read more

Union Salon is simply the best! I've been coming to Nick for my beard trim and lineup ever since my former barber moved away and highly recommended him. Nick is super detail-oriented and takes his time perfecting my look the way I want it. Most importantly, he's always chill and fun to talk to. If you need a great cut, go see Nick! Additionally, the front desk staff are always super nice, helpful and welcoming. I feel good as soon as I walk in and ever better when I walk out! read more

Looks can be deceiving cause this salon is spacious! It's very light and airy inside. Also very clean. As you enter, they check you in and offer beverages as you wait. I've been "dating" new hair stylists and my last cut left me with hair that was messy, uneven, and unmanageable. I've gotten a blowout from Miriam in the past and really appreciated her kindness and her passion for her craft. So I decided to book with her to see if she can somehow fix my hair. She listened to my preferences and was honest that with the way it got cut previously, she won't be able to fix it completely unless we went short. I did not want to go short but she was able to use her expertise and made my hair look SO MUCH BETTER!!! She even gave me extra styling tips because I struggle with my wavy/frizzy hair. I'm done hair stylist "dating"! I found my perfect match Thank you so much Miriam!!! I'm finally excited to let my hair down and not hide it. Will be scheduling my next trim with nobody else but you in three months :)) see you soon! read more

I liked what I had gotten as I wanted to be a few shades lighter in the brown category and Lauren took care of me well. The quality was really good in terms of the colour and my hair has been looking good as ever. The vibe was chill here as well as they have refreshments and lots of clients coming in and out of the salon read more

I've been going here about a year and used a few different hairstylists whom are all great for different reasons! 1. Chantal gave me a vibrant purple I wanted and is great with vibrant colors 2. Once I was bored with the purple, Jasmine helped me get rid of that color and color corrected to get my hair back to its brown with some nice blonde highlights. 3. After I was done with the blonde, Theresa brought me back to my brown with some beautiful texture and tone and gave me a short bob that I had been wanting! Love this salon. It's clean, friendly and they even offer complementary drinks during your service. read more

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! read more

I've been seeing Erika here on and off for 5 years, she's great! The staff is super friendly, the salon is always clean and comfortable (air conditioning, phew) and I've just never had a bad experience here. I've also had my haircut by Amanda, everyone is well trained and easy to chat with if you're the chatty type. They use high quality products and make sure you're getting what you've asked for. Highly recommend this salon :) read more

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! read more

Amazing experience!! Seamless booking process and staff is very nice. When you check in for your appointment, there's complimentary water and teas!

I will be back :D Great vibe with high-quality products! Parking is metered outside and plenty available outside read more

The salon itself is lovely -- spacious, clean, and has such a great vibe! My go to stylist is David, and he never disappoints. He's a great listener and always delivers exactly what I'm looking for (and even better -- and I'm pretty picky! ). Thank you, David, for always keeping my hair looking amazing! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Sabrina was amazing!! I went in for a layered cut on my long hair and she gave me exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend her!

I just had my hair done by Sara at Union Salon and I'm in love. She is attentive, professional, knowledgeable, and detail oriented. She spent a good 15 minutes talking to me and looking at pictures of what I wanted, discussed how we would achieve the results and did everything possible to make sure I loved my hair. I have super long, black brown Asian hair which is notoriously difficult to work with because most colors end up looking brassy. Sara did an amazing job of getting my hair to a cool dark brown with sun-kissed baby highlights. I'm so happy I've finally found my hair girl. read more

I've been seeing Lora for over 10 years, and I honestly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. She's not just a stylist--she's an artist who truly understands what works for me. She specializes in women's hair and Lora always takes the time to suggest styles and cuts that suit my face shape perfectly, and her attention to detail is second to none. One of the things I appreciate most is how skillfully she colors my grey hair, blending it so naturally that it always looks effortless and fresh. Whether it's a small trim or a full transformation, I always leave her chair feeling confident and looking my best. Lora is simply amazing! read more

Union Salon - Hair by Lora - Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was in a bind, I had a terrible experience with Ulta and I was desperate to get my hair trimmed. I was so RELIEVED to find this place close by. The atmosphere is so much cooler and welcoming than Ulta. I met with a very professional stylist Christine, she really listened and knew exactly what I needed. Very friendly too! Loved that she referred to getting a hair cut as "self-care", it meant so much to me. Love my new do and I feel like it makes me look younger! Definitely coming back. Thank you Union Salon!!! read more

Jennifer is that GIRL Always and I mean always leaving me with my hair looking amazing conversations are tea! I recommend booking in advance to have a secure appointment with her. read more

Go see Sabrina! I booked my haircut and color separately with her and came in first for my haircut. She talked me through every step to let me know what she was doing and why. She listened to what I like and don't like. It's hard to get a good haircut imo and this was a great one. While she was cutting my hair we discussed what to do to my hair, colorwise, for my next appointment. She took pictures of me and came up with inspo ideas on her own time. When I showed up for my hair color appointment she had photo ideas ready to go. I've never had someone go out of their way outside of the salon to come up with a hair color idea specific to me. It felt customized and thoughtful and the end result is great. Highly recommend her. read more

Do you have thin hair and are considering getting extensions? I highly recommend Lora at Union Salon in Pasadena! I first met Lora at a consultation appointment almost 10 years ago. I explained to her my frustration with my thinning hair around my face and my inability to grow my hair long in front. She curated the perfect strategy for blending extensions with my natural hair, and I am forever grateful to her and her artistry!!! read more

Nic is an awesome barber! He listened to exactly what I wanted and nailed the cut. Clean, professional, and easy to talk to. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Please be aware of Union Salon: this place charges a 100% "no-show" fee. I am a very consistent client. I "SHOWED" to an appointment and sat there without being greeted. After feeling confused and completely ignored I decided to leave thinking maybe the appointment had gotten canceled or there was some type of mix-up since it was NYE. The salon reached out to me and wanted to make sure everything was OK and I explained the situation. They said "OK, we just want you to be comfortable." I thought everything was cool but I woke up to a $90 cancellation fee. I had no idea this was policy and I was NOT informed that I would be charged this fee. Make sure if you go here you take it upon yourself to go above and beyond to have any questions answered. I would honestly just avoid this place, they make enough money off of charging full-service cancellation fees! In this economy, absolutely diabolical. DO NOT BOOK SERVICES WITH MIRIAM!! read more

Nicky Dommett is literally the blonde whisperer. I am SO particular about my color and tone. Over the years I've tried some of the most highly rated and talked about salons in the Beverly Hills area, and have always had to go back for adjustments. Nicky not only nailed it on the first time, but she's consistently precise in the coloring every time since. I've now been seeing her for over 5 years and I drive from LA to Pasadena because I refuse to let anyone else touch my hair. I also have very fine and fragile hair, and she's helped create a coloring plan that keeps it healthy, without looking bad during growth phases. It's now the healthiest and strongest it's ever been! I will never see another colorist - she is hands down the best in the state! read more

I can't begin to even explain how much I adore my haircut from Stephanie. She's extremely warm, kind, friendly, patient, and so skilled and knowledgeable. She is very detail oriented and thorough, and always walks me through my haircut, all the way from which products will benefit my hair type most and how to style. There's a huge difference whenever I come to see her, and I without fail always ask for her and refer her to every one of my friends!!! This girl is a gift. Any salon is lucky to have her and I wouldn't be able to trust anyone else with my hair. please ask for steph you won't be let down!!! read more

The vibes at Union are truly unmatched! From the moment you walk in, you're warmly welcomed by the receptionist, setting the tone for an amazing experience. Jennifer and Lexi are absolute gems--they genuinely care about the health and integrity of your hair and work with you to reach your dream results without ever compromising its condition. I love that treatments and haircuts are included with the service. They're not only incredibly skilled but also so kind, making every visit enjoyable.
