Crowned Studio

First let me say I have been all over looking for great color and 2 years ago out of desperation found Andrea at another salon she owned. I met with her and was overwhelmed at the amount of information she seemed to know about my hair just by looking at it. She has been doing my hilites and base color ever sense and I would trust no other. I have sent everyone I know into her doors and the new place (a year and a half old now- I'm a bit slow about writing this) is tres chic- Andrea really out did herself with this place Pros: Amazing service Cons: walking a block to the parking garage more

I went to Crowned Studio after reading they won Best Hair Salon in Pasadena. I now know why. They are amazing. I love my hair. Andrea is an uber colorist. I will tell everyone I know run don't walk to try this place out! Best kept secret in Pasadena more

I was referred by a friend who had her hair done by Connie. I had admired her style and color . it was not the run of the mill beige highlights that we asian girls suffer with. So I made an appointment , I was a little early which just made me nervous..waiting is the worst! But when Connie arrived we hit it right off, she showed me different styles and shapes for my hair texture and face shape, I had options!! 45 minutes later I was stunned!! My hair looked so fresh!! I bought the products she used on me and fully expect to get the same results, due to the mini lesson she gave me on styling. I love love love my new hair cut and look forward to what she will reccommend next time. Thanks again your new client for life, Pros: I walked out with better than expected!!! Cons: bring coins for the meters on Green st more

I found Crowned via citysearch and gave them a try. I am hard to please and from their website to meeting my stylist I was really impressed. I love the location and walked around after to shop and my stylist / colorist were both great. Andrea sat down and talked to me about my color what would work and what wouldn't and Chris gave me a great haircut. Love my color and cut and love writting a great review for them. Thanks to the wonder twins! Pros: cool location more

I read about this place online and tried Andrea and Christopher hoping they would be great. They didn't dissapoint. I was surprised how fast they got me done and how great it looked when I left. My style out lasted a few days too. Loved them. The wonder twins! Pros: Really friendly- take time and chat Cons: running out to feed my meter.. should have parked in the lot more

I have been going to Andrea the colorist for a long time. She does my hilites and we have played with a few other ideas for color. I am always amazed that no matter what I ask for she can do. Or tells me why it will not work. I trust her with my hair and really I guess trust her with my looks. I have had a few people cut my hair Christina and Chris they both do a great job. I get really natural looking hair each time. Not over done salon hair that I have to go home and wash out because I look like a stripper! I like the space and the people and I can always count on Andrea to talk about current events to keep my visit lively. Pros: great staff, great color Cons: street parking, but I ark in the lot its easier more

I've found the Best hair color in Pasadena and its at Crowned Studio. I have tried a lot of salons in Pasadena and found this one. I have hilites and most stylist leave me with stripes or chunks and Andrea the color director gave me perfectly blended hilites. Chris gave me an amazing cut after and some great product to make my hair shine. I love this place... Pros: Great location more

I called Crowned Studio and asked to have someone correct my highlights, because it looked like a tiger on top of my head. Andrea was able to fit me in and gave me amazing highlights. Now it looks natural. She saved my hair! Pros: great customer service more

Been going to Meredith for years...followed her to a couple of places in Weho, Beverly Hills area, and now Pasadena. Crowned Studio, by far is my favorite spot! I wasn't sure about going all of the way to Pasadena, but the salon is precious. Everyone that works there was so friendly to me and I immediately felt relaxed and comfortable...I was even offered a glass of wine, love that!!!! Pros: got a free conditioning treatment. more

This salon deserves the praise. Everyone that stepped out of the salon has hair that is fabulous!! I received a ton of compliments on my new do. The talent within the staff is phenominal and they are genuinely a fun group to hang with while getting your hair done. more

Ok I am a bit of a hair junkie and have tried more salon in the area then all my friends. I am happy that I now have found a home with Crowned. I read reviews and made an appointment with Andrea and Chris and love my hair. They both talked to me, came up with ideas and delivered. The space is modern and a little risque and the feeling is great. I loved it.... thanks Crowned I will be back Pros: free parking at the garage Cons: was forced to go shopping since I was in old towne more

I've never written a review on these blogs. Ever. But after seeing Aimee, I had to let everyone else know out there about my fantastic experience with Aimee because she deserves it. Being new to California, I was looking for a hairstylist that was convenient, not too pricey and would make me look fabulous. I went to Aimee and she was amazing. It was like a before and after makeover to my hair and it exceeded ALL my expectations. I haven't liked wearing my hair down at all when I?m at work or home because I don't have a lot of time to make it look great in the mornings but Aimee made me love to wear it down without spending any time on it in the mornings! I am now able to live in a curling iron-free world and it still fascinates me that she made me look amazing without touching a curling iron. She styled it perfectly after my cut and due to my lack of styling skills, when I tried to do it at home later on in the week and couldn't make it look like she did, I went back to her for help and she showed me exactly what she did to style it and made sure I knew how to do it on myself before I left the studio. She was patient and not only did she listen to what I wanted, she is by far, the nicest person that I've met in California and her sincerity is refreshing in a world full of sales people. I have found my hairstylist for life! Go see Aimee and I promise you will look great and be thankful you went to see her. I know I am. more

There are few things in life that we all can agree on! One such thing is when you find a stylist who knows how to cut your hair that makes you stand a little taller, you have struck GOLD!!! I am proud to say that I have struck GOLD with Meredith Morris! I have been a client of Meredith's for years now. Whenever she goes, I go!!! In this town you want to look your best, no doubt about it! Meredith, with her southern charm, will make sure when you look in the mirror you look like a million bucks and when you leave you are walking a little taller! more

The minute I stepped into the salon, I felt like I was home. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I had my consultation with Meredith and just by looking at my hair, she knew exactly what needed to be done to fix my frumpy lackluster do. I have been looking for a pasadena hair salon for a long time now and I have definitely found it with Crowned Studio. Pros: Need a new Haircut/Style this is the place Cons: If you want to get your makeup done as well.. you'll need to go somewhere else. more

Let me just say that Aimee is a hair coloring and cutting expert! A natural DARK brunette, I started dating a guy who has a thing for blondes. Giving in to his suggestion, I sought out a different stylist initially who highlighted my hair four times trying to achieve blonde...FRIED it!...and STILL didn't achieve blonde! After my hair was near falling out but still desperately seeking ideal blonde perfection, I was referred to Aimee by a girlfriend who said that she was a color correction and coloring EXPERT. She was absolutely RIGHT!! Aimee not only took the time to explain to me what SHOULD have been done to my hair to not be damaged, but put me on a path of hair health rescue while working towards my goal of blonde perfection. Just a few months later, I am more than happy to report that I am a light to platinum blonde with HEALTHY, SHINY hair!!!!! I should also mention that each time with her is like visiting an old girlfriend and a genuinely look forward to my next appointments with her! Pros: beautiful hip salon, expert styling, friendly staff, good prices Cons: none! more

I live nearby and noticed Crowned Studio had just opened. After work, I walked in and everyone was so nice. Meredith just put me in her seat and gave me a 15 minute consultation. I have been coloring my own hair for the past 3 years and it really showed and it had been a good 6 months since I had my hair cut. Needless to say, I was in a hair rut. Meredith was so sweet and came up with a lot of awesome suggestions. I scheduled an appointment with her and went back the next day. She totally transformed my looks beyond my wildest imagination. She was savvy with the scissors and I felt so comfortable with her. I have had so many compliments and am so grateful to her for giving me back some confidence and taking me out of the hair rut I was in. Thanks Meredith!! You are awesome girl! Pros: Made me feel so special and really consulted with me about my look. Cons: They didn't sell the products I normally buy. more

I am so lucky to have found Chris and Andrea! I love Chris and Andrea so much that I drive all the way from Studio City to get my hair cut and colored by them! Yes, there are more hair salons than Starbucks where I live, but, in LA, a cut and color can cost you $350! And the LA stylists aren't even nice! I was so tired of over-paying for salon services that I started coloring my own hair. After accidentally dying my hair black, I went to Andrea. Best decision ever! Crowned Studio is such a refreshing change! It is sweet and sunny and everyone is so friendly! AND Andrea and Chris charge less than LA salons even though they are worth WAY more! Andrea rescued my locks, bringing them back from being nearly dead, and created a beautiful caramel color! Plus, in a double-stroke of luck, I found Chris! Chris is an awesome stylist! His styling gives my hair body and shape and I can even re-create his salon look on my own! Chris and Andrea are the best! And their team is wonderful, friendly and professional! I receive compliments all of the time about my color and my shiny hair and the great cut! I love Crowned Studio! They make me look and feel like a million bucks (but for a lot less)! Pros: The entire staff is great! The salon is cute! And you are in the coolest area of Pasadena! Cons: Cons? What cons? There is a giant parking structure across the street! 90 minutes free! more

I love this place... I read about the salon online and work just down the street so I thought I would give them a try. I was treated like a friend.... its a warm cozy place and everyone laughed and joked with everyone else... they even had a movie on the tv... I sipped a cappuccino and glanced through a mag while my color set (or whatever it does) and really enjoyed it... Crowned Studio will be a place I come back too and will tell people about.... more

I followed Andrea and Chris from Starr House the salon to their new diggs at Crowned Studio and I must say I LOVE this salon... everything about it is glam... from the staff to the mirrors its cool to the cuticule... Andrea does the best hilite and Chris does the most amazing cuts in town. This twosome the dynamic hair duo just keep wowing me eveytime... I will be your loyal head cheerleader forever!! Yes they are that good!!! Run to see them and you too will sing their praises!!! Pros: cool downtown feel more
