Hair Salons in Altadena

Natural light pours in through large windows beneath lofty vaulted ceilings at The G Spa Salon, glinting on the glowing skin and locks of clients as they enjoy signature hair, nail-, skin-, and body-care treatments. As a full-service Aveda concept salon and spa, The G Spa Salon performs each service with products derived from pure flower and plant essences. In addition, the staff's hair services include complimentary Aveda rituals including mini facials, firming eye treatments, scalp-and-neck massages, and cups of comforting tea. Aveda's products also kiss hands and feet like a comforting Mother Earth during select nail services such as Green Science anti-aging manicures. True to Aveda's eco-friendly philosophy, The G Spa Salon does not distribute literature about its services on paper and offers guests an iPad to entertain them during services.

In addition to fancifying follicles with custom haircuts and color treatments, Cush Salon & Café fuels food tanks at the onsite café. Skilled stylists trim male and female manes, add length with hair extensions and weaves, and brighten tresses by adding highlights to heads instead of just strapping on headlamps. The café, outfitted with a complete espresso bar, fills hungry stomachs with wrap sandwiches, salads, and house specials such as tomato-and-red-pepper soup.

Skilled stylist Toi Pinell, whose passion for arranging locks started when she was still playing with dolls, draws inspiration from the latest trends as she tames manes of all types with hair services at Hair Imagery. Pinell snips locks into face-framing shapes, brightens hair with highlights and strings of Christmas lights, and enhances heads with quick bond and basic sew-in weaves. Her deft fingers leave neatly ordered cornrows and chignons in their wake, while thermal straightening keeps hair obediently smooth. Pinell also makes house calls.
