Crowned Studio Salon

I have to let Nela know how happy I am with my haircut! I have lived in Southern California for a year and a half and had haircuts from two other places here and have not found the perfect stylist for me… Until I had my haircut a couple weeks ago with Nela. She listened to all my concerns and now I have found my usual stylist! So happy with my haircut! Definitely one of the best I have had and that says a lot !

Thank you, Chris, for another cute haircut!

This review has been long overdue. If I’m being honest, I wanted this place to stay my little gem. But it looks like my secret has been out for some time now. Nela is AMAZING! Simply put, I have been going to her since I was in my teens and I have never been dissapointed. Gone are the days where I would leave a salon and weep in my car after the butchery was over. Now, I leave the salon and feel confident, sexy, and GORGEOUS! It’s better than therapy ladies. I almost don’t want to post this review because I know Nela already is in high demand, but it has to be done. Bottom line: It’s the BEST salon and it has the BEST hairdresser.

Just got a blow dry from Matthew, he did a great job! I’m so happy I found this place so close to my work. The wash before the blow dry was so relaxing, not to mention the scalp massage *amazing feeling* I had tried this place out a couple months back… I cant remember the name of the gal that did my hair but she was good too… Thanks again– I will definitely be back and will be referring some co– workers :)

I got my roots touched up with Angela. She spent over two hours lovingly applying my hair color, washing my hair (with a scalp massage that was worth the price of admission) and giving me the most detailed blowout that I have ever received for the low low price of $ 55. The décor of this salon is very girly, and somebody spent a great deal of time making sure that every visual detail of this salon was within the theme of this shop from the black brooms and extensions cords to the fun graphic wraps on the barbicide containers. My favorite part was the private and cozy feel of this salon due to the relatively small entrance and spacious interior. Bring adequate coinage for the coin operated meters on raymond ave, and bring cash for tip (or get cash back for tip when you pay with your debit card).

Christopher is THE BEST.
I’ve been going to him for years and he does a stellar job with my hair every single time. He’s a true master stylist!

I’ve been going to Crowned Studio for 3 – 4 years and I love it! For the first few years I went to Nela for the ombré. My hair is super dark, but she always made the ombré subtle and classy! This year I finally changed it up and went with the balayage and am so happy I did! I went with medium brown instead of my normal light brown and loveeeee it! Nela does amazing work! The studio is also super cute and I always feel so relaxed when I’m there!
My best friend has been going to Amy for her ombres and balayages too and loves her too! Her hair always looks just as amazing,

When I wanted to go from long hair to short, Christopher was the man for the task. He gave me a fabulously feminine and versatile cut!!!

It’s time that I provided an update and all I can say is amazing things about Aimee. I recently went in for a haircut and I asked Aimee of she could replicate the hairstyle of the Hello Kitty icon at the Japanese American Museum. Needless to say, Aimee made it work and it’s absolutely adorable (I look like I am seven again). I have been with Aimee for several years now and every time I have my hair cut we are always switching up my style, which makes it fun for the both of us. I still love the location and the staff is just wonderful so if you are looking for a salon to call home then call Crowned Studio right away!

I had some time to kill between business functions in Pasadena and happened by Crowned Studio Salon. I walked in hoping they would have an opening for a walk-​in hair trim and sure enough they did! The receptionist was very friendly and within a minute I was in Angela’s chair. I let her know I was under a time constraint but wanted a trim. Angela was fantastic and did a great job! My hair feels healthy and light and I love the layers she added. They also carry the Italian brand of hair products, Davines, which is hard to find. I was so impressed with Angela and Crowned and will definitely be back!

Love love love Connie for curly hair!!! Just had my 2^nd cut with her– the first one grew out beautifully and lasted a long time. I have referred several other curly girls to her and she really is life-​changing. She works with your curls and has a wealth of experience. She suggests products but there isn’t a hard sell for them at all-​she gives suggestions for styling, showed me some tricks, but at the base is an excellent cut that looked great leaving the salon, looked great for days after, and washed and styled beautifully. I am a big fan! Will continue to send her girls with curls-​and without! (I understand she can give a wicked Mohawk as well!) Connie has great pride in her work and a gift for making her clients feel beautiful. I have sent her teen girls who were fighting their hair texture and they blossomed — their self confidence was enhanced with their adorable new ‘do. And the prices are very very reasonable– well below what many specialty salons charge. Will continue to spread the word!

Love Victoria! I always show her pics of the hair I want and she works her magic.

Connie is the BEST! Best perm I have ever had and love what she did. I highly recommend this place.

Tina is the best! She has been my hairdresser for years and is very creative in what she does. She also listens to what I like and I always leave the salon completely satisfied.

I am very happy with the way I was treated in this establishment. Everyone was very helpful and my stylist angela alvarado is amazing. She knew exactly what I needed as far as a hair cut and explained to me what I could do for my hair type. I loved it thanks and I will be going back and taking my kids too.

Found Christina through a friends recommendation. So glad I did! I decided to go from blonde back to my natural brunette on a whim. I went to some random salon and ended up with a color that was somewhere between black and green within a few days. Thank goodness for Christina! She easily corrected my color and my hair looks better than it has in years. She followed my color up with and amazing hair cut. I wasn’t really sure what to ask her to do. She took reins and I absolutely love it! I wish I would have found her years ago!!! Thank you Christina! Have been seeing her for 4 years now. Happy every time!

Tina is the only stylist I entrust with my hair. She miraculously fixed a horrendous, botched cut I got at a nearby salon — I’ve been devoted ever since. I trust her aesthetic and skill and she hasn’t led me astray yet. I’ve even convinced my mom and sister to cheat on their stylists for Tina, they’re now happy converts.
If you’re looking for a stylist in Pasadena who truly elevates her profession to an art form, make an appointment with Tina.

I love this place!!! Such a relaxing and great experience for any hair service. I wanted to do something different with my hair and since summer is approaching I wanted to do funky color. I usually do highlights, ombré, or low lights but this was definitely something much different and crazy for me. Ruthie has been my stylist for years and she did not fail me! Once again she delivered and made me a happy customer. I was so scared because I had just showed her a picture of the hue of purple and style I wanted, and she made it happen. I highly recommend Ruthie for cut and color she always does an incredible job and really stays true to what you ask for, which is important for someone so picky like myself lol. thanks crowned studio salon for Ruthie and your friendly staff!

Christopher (Master Stylist $ 80+ cuts) is A-​MA-​ZING. His cut and blow are out of this world and listens and recommends based on his experience. I have had another stylist cut my hair (Chris wasn’t available and she was a Senior Stylist) and I did not like it, so I’m sticking with Chris, even if i have to make an appointment weeks in advance.
All in all, i recommend trying this salon. They’re all very nice and attentive. The place is clean, and PARK across the street, first 90 minutes are FREE (structure). Most Tuesdays are HAPPY HOUR so save 20% off select services. Call first.
Appointments are usually on time or within 5 minutes of it. Great for the busy bees like me.
And to top off the great hair day you’ll have, head accross to AMARA and get a Venezuelan chocolate to go.

Came in for a lat minute hair cut and was directed to Angela.
She did a great job of listening to what I wanted and what I didn’t want. I also really appreciated the fact that she asked me questions throughout the process. My hair is really fine so I am usually worried about layering it too much, so she kept my layers short.
The salon is super cute and is located across the street from the Green Street parking structure.
Overall I am pretty happy with the haircut and would consider going back again.
*** if you get your hair cut here and get bangs, they do complimentary bang trims ***
