Arcadia, CA Beauty and Salons

Though Salon Xia exists within a century-old cottage, its interior is nowhere near outdated. And that’s because owner Mark Mayner decided to keep the space airy, bright, and clean through the use of stained wooden accents and large, sun-soaked windows. Such contemporary touches wrap around the salon space, where stylists can often be found coloring and highlighting hair with high-end products including Aveda Full Spectrum and Redken Color Fusion dyes. The stylists also reach for Unite haircare products as they create new 'dos that are further informed by ongoing teachings from the Toni and Guy Academy.

Both men and women celebrate the reformation of unruly locks with a scalp massage and a tension-relieving head rub to spoil the skull or ease residual soreness from the competitive ear-wiggling semifinals.
