Thanks again for treating my sister to a day of pampering. She looks amazing with her new haircut and Brazilian Blowout. They did awesome. Best gift card I ever bought for someone. Thanks 1St Ave Salon Thanks girl your awesome."

1st Ave. Salon is one of the best hair styling salons in the San Gabriel Valley. All Stylists are professional and extend outstanding service. The salon excels in: Brazilian Blow Out, coloring, hair styling, men haircut, facial and much more. The Pasadena Star News wrote an outstanding report on the salon. I recommend 1st Ave, Salon to everyone.

Veka does a beautiful Japanese Straightening! My hair is smooth, shiny, and healthy! I didn’t have any fallout or breakage. She gave me the prettiest Kim K-esq cut today! Rounded layers with a gorgeous blow-out. I couldn't be happier and will be returning. Thank you Veka

I went to Veka here and loved the whole experience. She did a great job fixing up my color, turning another salon's mess into beautiful, natural, bayalagey highlights. She was also fast - her nice assistant Anna helped along the way, getting me out of there in as little time as possible. Plus they were so friendly, sweet, and confident. None of that attitude, pushiness, or (in the case of a recent salon experience) insanity. Just nice people doing meticulous work. It wasn't cheap, but I had a LOT of damage control to do, and I think the same work would have cost me maybe two hundred more at the "high end" salon I had been considering using.

"Glad I went to 1st Avenue Salon in Monrovia - a very talented stylist named Andrew (cool and very professional) on the staff took me in! I gave him basic instructions on how I wanted to look and he got to work right away.

I was really pleased with the end result!!!! I love the cut and I even feel younger...I recommend you give him a try, you won't be disappointed. I've already scheduled my next appointment with him."

Yes, it is a bit out of my way but totally worth the drive. I've had many cuts from different stylists but only Andrew has done exactly what I wanted how I wanted it. My mom and I go to no one else. We've followed him from a couple shops and will continue to follow him where ever he is at. His fades are unbelievably, spot on. My mom gets her trims and slight layered cuts and she is happy every time. Which if you knew her says a lot? Personable, professional and his scissors are always sharp.

I got my hair colored with them the best color ever the best colorist in the world.

Thank you for my awesome pixie cut/color. I love it!! You are amazing at your job :):

I had partial highlights and haircut with Jessica. She was very personable and felt she really knew what I wanted. Salon is very clean and staff friendly. Will definitely go back again!

I have naturally curly hair and I like to get a Blow Out as often as I can because it is easier for me. I Live close to the salon and decided to try it out because it seems to be a nice salon. I made an Appointment with Jessica for a Blow Out, She did a really good job and gave me advice for my dry ends. I wanted to do something different with my hair so I decided I would do a balayage with my hair. Yesterday I made an appointment with Jessica and I had the balayage done to my hair. I am completely satisfied with my hair and cant wait for my next appointment!

I came to this salon and had the best experience! the location is perfect, the salon has its own parking which was perfect. The salon itself is very classy, neat and the atmosphere is just great. I felt very welcomed by the owner, she was very sweet, attent and made sure i got hekoped out. The girls are very warm and welcoming and i got helped by Vanessa, she was very sweet, and what i liked is that she listened to what i wanted done to my hair and did everything just the way i wanted, its rare to find a hair stylist like that. You can tell she has alot of experience and does and excellent job. Definately found the right person to get my hair done with, I recomend everyone to try Vanessa out and i promise you wont regret it. I was very satisfied and i hope alot more people get to have the same experience i had!
