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.

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 THE man! If you want a professionally done haircut at a reasonable price look no further. You're going to find a kind and welcome experience with plenty of warmth and professionalism here. I won't be going anywhere else EVER.

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.Service: Haircut

Just when I was about to lose all faith in humanity, Curtis Chung came into my life to get me interview ready with a professional haircut & style to give me the confidence I need. Not only is he a talented stylist, but a genuinely good human being. Today was my first time in this salon but it is not my last. Walking distance from my house, I can get my hair cut by a talented and kind person. Yes please! My human interaction has been minimal these days so when I have such a pleasant interaction-I won't forget it! Thank you Curtis.

I've been getting my hair done by Curtis for over 10 years and never disappoints! He is in a new nice salon now- not far from his previous one in Green- at 10 S Mentor, Pasadena. He colors, cuts and styles my hair. Beach curls are great!

I've never left a hair salon happy until I came to Curtis! I've come here twice and both times the cut is exactly as I wanted (or better). I think it's because he never cuts it too short and I can trust him to tell me if what I'm asking for would look good on me. They recently changed locations and the new place is really nice and clean. Curtis is also such a friendly and kind person. I'm so glad I found Studio 55 and will definitely continue to get my haircuts here!

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!

Curtis is a master at cutting hair, and the highlights he gave me looked natural, and sun blended. He did awesome work today, and my hair looks amazing.

I'm sad about my hair. I went to Curtis twice. The first time was for the haircut. I showed him a photo and he cut my hair according to the photo. I got what I asked for, but I wasn't happy with the results. I couldn't explain what I wanted exactly, which is on me, bc I was exhausted and I couldn't think after work. I just knew I wanted a cut and I went in hoping that the hairdresser would be able to "figure out" what I wanted. Why? Because the most amazing hairdressers I used to frequent in SF and SD cut my hair in ways better than I could explain. Again, that's on me (my fault #2), bc I shouldn't expect all hairdressers to be intuitive. Truly. I should've been more certain, which I was not! I should've been more honest about the results, which I was not. My fault #3. When I saw the results, I wasn't happy. The two layers didn't fall right in my eyes--it looked like they were sitting on top of each other bc they were blunt at the end. Which is how it looks in the photo. My fault. OK, so I voiced my dislike about it to Curtis and he told me it was because of how I was pushing my hair to the front of my face and the way I was MOVING my hair was wrong. He brushed my hair in different ways to show how the layers fall differently based on the brushing technique. I told him that I don't do anything to my hair--no product, no styling. Just comb it and done. So he went on to show me how to brush it in certain ways. Fed up, I directly asked him what should I do and his answer was that he can't tell me what I should do bc, essentially, I'm my own person who makes her own decisions and that I have this nervous energy, and I keep pushing my hair to the front. .........what? I literally asked him for advice on how to brush my hair and he couldn't provide an answer. I am willing to learn!! And it came back to me being at fault (moving my hair wrong).It was so annoying. I was honest when I told him that I thought he was doing good work on my hair in the salon. I honestly thought it was my fault for letting the layers fall down improperly. So, thinking that I was at fault, and also frustrated, I decided to leave and pay. I came home and my boyfriend liked it. I became happier! xD But, then.... I showered the next morning. I combed my hair. It dried. And then......my roommate asked me if I cut my own hair myself. He wasn't being malicious. He was making an observation. He confirmed my fear that something about my haircut was wrong. I called Curtis that day and told him the problem. He fit me in at 6:30 PM the same day. I went to see him and told him that I think I needed "pointy ends"--I apologized for not knowing the proper jargon but did my best to describe what I wanted. The ends were blunt so I needed them to not be blunt. I also apologized for being tired yesterday and being uncertain and assured him that he did cut my well, that it was my fault for not knowing what I wanted to begin with. But now that I was back and I knew what I wanted--"pointy ends"--I trusted that Curtis would deliver great results. I was sat in the chair and he gave me some jagged edges. It looked good in the hair salon. I Told Curtis he was great and he didn't charge me to fix it. I came home and saw in my mirror that it was NOT good. I have segments of hair that are longer than the rest of my hair. My hair has been botched. $63 down the drain. -Cassandra

Curtis sped thru my balayage. Didn't take his time at all. I was left with an aweful haircut and the blonde was absolutely horrible. I don't usually do reviews but I would definitely not go here if you have thin hair. Asked for a refund because i was not happy at all....and he gave me $50 to have someone else cut it... then said he would not fix my color. Now I'm left with a mess on my head and have to come up with more money to have someone fix it. Do not go here!Services: Balayage
