Studio 55 Salon

I can't say enough good things about Studio 55 and especially about Curtis! He is genuinely the nicest salon owner I've ever met. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and valued. I give this place a 10/10 because Curtis and his team truly go above and beyond. He's incredibly honest, has a staff of wonderful and skilled workers, and what stands out most is that he actually cares about the health and style of your hair. It’s clear that making you feel like a priority is his mission. I hope more people recognize the good work and effort he puts in. If you’re looking for a salon that feels like a family, look no further!

Curtis is incredible! He has done my hair for eight years. He is Salon 55, a treasure nestled in another salon at 10 S Mentor Ave, Pasadena, CA. I have incredibly long, black hair (way below my waist). Not easy to do, but Curtis does a great job. He colors it, trims it and conditions it until it ends up shiny and as soft as baby hair—and he does all this at a very fair, more than fair price. I could not do it anywhere else for the same price and be as happy. I’m moving to Northern California and excited about my going, except for leaving my great hairdresser behind. I will be hard pressed to find anyone as grand as Curtis.

Curtis is amazing. He gives you exactly what you request. My highlights came out beautiful. I started bringing my teen daughters who have curly hair and they love their cuts. During COVID, I cut my own hair and he helped me get it back into shape. I have been a loyal follower for a number of years.

I love Curtis. He's been cutting my hair for years. He always manages to squeeze me in, often with short notice, and does a great job cutting my hair. He's cut, colored, and put up my hair for different occasions and it always comes out looking great. He's super friendly and a true professional.

Curtis is always sweet, friendly, and efficient. His prices are fair, and he is wonderful to chat with while you are getting your hair done. He seems to be able to handle pretty much any hairstyle and gives frank advice about whether you should have your haircut a certain way, or dye your hair or not. I've had him literally talk me out of getting services with him because he knew that what I was asking for was not going to turn out the way I thought it was going to turn out. I greatly appreciate that and don't hesitate to follow with his advice. The shop is always well decorated clean and neat.

This was my first post-quarantine haircut (I tried 1 DIY last year and won't be doing that again!!!), and Curtis gave me a nice cut. I took it a lot shorter than it had grown out to, and I'm happy with the look. He gave frank advice on the style, which I appreciated. He was friendly to chat with and easy going. The space was clean and nice. I expect to return.

I love Studio 55 and Curtis! Not have I only gotten amazing haircuts and excellent styling here, but he always remembers me and is so kind and personable whenever I come in. Curtis has tons of valuable experience and really works with you to make sure you get the look you want. I can't recommend Studio 55 enough!
