V.i. Studios - Pasadena (CA)

5 /5 lluvia verdin: Federico has been doing my hair for a few years now. I don’t think I’ll ever do my hair anywhere else. He goes above and beyond to do his job as perfect as possible. I always recommend all my family and friends to go to him. -10 stars if possible!

2 /5 k san: I dont understand why people dont give an honest review nowadays. It was my first time to ever go for a 2 block cut. I saw this place had flawless reviews.i had to check it out for myself. Yelp, google, 5stars across the board. This is too good to be true. I had a consult to later I found out was Frederick. We spoke on what I wanted to achieve for my head. Tbh it was very easy to create an appointment no doubt. Even on a Friday afternoon. The last text I received was that there is $15 dollar late fee, and a $70 last minute cancellation. I head in 30min early . Come in to find out Noah was about to dig into his lunch. Patiently waiting up for my 2pm appointment. Noah and Frederick. Come out. Looks like theyre headed for lunch. 2pm comes around. And now Im angry. Hes late.Theyre both late. I dont understand why both had to leave for lunch since Noah already got food.If i am expected to pay a late fee. That should be expected from them as well. I sat down. With noah. And tells me that the length of my hair wont be long enough for the cut and that for today he could create a solid foundation.. I told them maybe its best to come back later when my length is ideal . Frederick.gave me this speil about being independent contractors and that this is their livelihood. Blah blah. So I gave it shot. With high expectations. I sat through this . I was expecting perfection. After 1 hour of a cut. It still comes out to be uneven. Since they are masters of their craft. I call bullshit. $70 dollars for an imperfect haircut.

5 /5 Yoshi M: Federico cut and styled my hair amazingly! Took the time to see some reference photos and looked at the shape of my head so that the haircut goes well with it! Definitely going to be main stylist!

5 /5 Inwoo Park: Noah knew his stuff, taught me a couple things about my hair. Made me feel like I was in good hands when cutting my back length hair to above shoulders. Funny guy.

5 /5 Sigma Takeuchi: Noah and Federico are masters of their craft. I primarily work with Noah, and his attention to detail and use of a variety of techniques are two of many qualities I appreciate about him. Ive been considering getting a Japanese perm recently, and Noah has been helping me decide on a style by graciously sending me pictures of what would look good for my hair texture and head shape. While I havent worked with Federico yet, I talk to him all the time and he is a true professional with the way he carries himself when working with other clients. V.i. Studios as a salon is beautiful, well lit, and is also a pretty decent size as they recently renovated their place. They sell Milbon hair products here as well if youre interested. Overall, I have not gone to any other salon/barber in the past year and a half because Federico and Noah are just that good at what they do. Hit them up if youre in the Pasadena area!
