Lucy Salon

I have been going to Lucy Salon for 10 years and have been totally satisfied with the professional services I have received. It is very family oriented. I always make an appointment and I never have to wait. Lucy is a very skilled beautician. She is very fast but very careful and detail oriented. The shop is very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend Lucy to anyone that is looking for professional hair care from a very accommodating person.
Thank you Lucy for all your many years of excellent service.

My first time having a haircut at this salon, my friend and I made appointment with Lucy, she did an ok job, but what strange is that in the end, she said $ 25 each for haircut, I gave her $ 25 even, but my friend gave her $ 40, she expected $ 15 change. She gave her only $ 10 for the change, and my friend told her it’s supposed to be $ 15, she told us «tip is not included». We were confused, we thought she’s the owner, why the owner is asking for tip? My friend insisted for the correct change, and she hesitantly gave her the rest of the change in five $ 1 bill. She told us again twice «tip is not included». We ended up gave her a tip, which we don’t mind at all, but she doesn’t have the right to just keep $ 5 and assume my friend will give $ 5 tip for her service. It really threw me off.
Apparently, she is NOT the owner, only happen to have the same name with the salon.

I have had my hair cut many times at Lucy’s salon. The owner, Lucy is very good, and very professional. I have always been happy with the results. She is my steady!

I decided to get my nails done. Annie was great! She was friendly and had reasonable prices. I will definitely be coming back to her! Next time I’ll try one of her artsy nail designs.

I followed Annie here for my nails after she closed her salon. I’m still a loyal customer and return to her anytime I’m in town. For a reasonable price and great service go to Annie. She can be reached by phone for appt or walkins are also Ok! 626−378−3561 (a different # from the main salons)

Not a good place at all to get your haircut. I dropped by for a men’s haircut and the place was pretty empty. That is probably your first clue it would be bad. I think it was the owner who gave me the haircut and she just rushed like crazy through it. I like my hair short so it’s not a complicated haircut but she just started roughly buzzing away like she really needed to finish my haircut in under five minutes or something. I got no sense that she was trying to give me a good haircut. It was like she was late for something or had another appointment but the place was completely empty.
The haircut turned out to be uneven with lots of missed hairs sticking out. She’s nice as a person but acted like she was trying to beat her own record on how fast she could finish a haircut.
I went back a few days ago to give her another chance but she did the same thing. No one was after me and she still rushed through my haircut without paying any attention to details.

Since Lucy Salon is very close to my house, it’s where I usually go for haircuts. Lucy is the owner, and she’s usually pleasant and smiling. However, I wasn’t too happy with the way she sets her prices. Since I have long hair, she usually charges me $ 25 for a cut with no shampooing, while the other stylists charge $ 20. There was one time after Lucy finished cutting my hair, when it came time to pay her, she tells me it costs $ 30. I told her she usually charges me $ 25 before, and she quickly changed her tunes and said that she will charge me $ 25 for just this once. After seeing my dismayed expression, she then quickly changed her mind and told me that just for me, she will charge me $ 25 from now on in the future (I doubt it’s just for me). It made me feel like she’s going to charge what she thinks she can get away with. I don’t mind paying more for a good haircut, but I don’t enjoy feeling like she is taking advantage of whoever she thinks she can get away with. The next time when I went back, I asked another stylist to cut my hair, and was very happy with his work, and he is much faster and charges only $ 20. I will be back, but not to have Lucy cut my hair, but will be looking for the other stylist instead.

I like Lucy; she’s just a little more expensive than Supercuts, she does a heck of a better job, she’s quick, and she doesn’t try to sell you anything.

Traveling from out of town, visiting from New York — Lucy came highly recommended in the Southern California area. To my surprise, Lucy gave a five star men’s haircut for a rate of only $ 10! This quality would have cost significantly more had I been in New York. Outside of the price, Lucy and her staff were very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. For any guy looking for a haircut in the area — you can’t go wrong with Lucy and her staff.

This store is really cheap, for men. (eight dollars) When you come to get your haircut, I recommend getting the store owner to cut your hair, she is highly skilled.

$ 12 for men + tip. I always ask for Lucy since she’s the store owner and the others seem a little inexperienced. I live in Arcadia and went because of convenience.
I’ve been here in the past and have always been ‘okay’ with the quality. I’m not too picky, nor am I a perfectionist. But today made me not want to go back anymore hence the reason I’m posting. Usually I’ll make an appointment — get in, get out in a decent amount of time, which is always nice. She’s fairly nice and welcoming, though I do have my doubts when she’s on the phone while cutting my hair.
Bottom line, quality definitely IS NOT worth the price. I paid $ 15 and walked out trusting it was fine. Perhaps she’s rushing me to get out or she has a handful of other customers in line for appointments. I have short-​straight hair and I was extremely unhappy with the large amount of little hairs poking out of the sides and the back of my head after my shower. How can you miss that much hair using a hair clipper/​trimmer?! Typically I’d just snip those off on my own out of consideration (and I even rinsed my own hair before going in). But damn! It’s annoying when she didn’t look twice to make sure it was okay. Not to mention the hair she ignored on the back of my head near the neck area, which she specifically brushed hair off of before removing the cape. Did she not notice that hair was still intact?
Note: Come at your own risk and low expectation!

I’ve only come in here once during the late summer, as a walk-​in, towards closing time. Believe I paid $ 8 for my haircut (before tip), so price-​wise Lucy Salon is one of the cheaper barbers that I’ve seen around.
It appeared she got a little annoyed when I said that the cut still seemed long, so that gave a bit of a negative impression. But as Terrence S. (
) mentioned in his review of the place: «it may take going a few times to get to know her and for her to be familiar with your preferences.»
I think price alone may encourage me to return and give the place a second try. Also doesn’t hurt that it’s around my neighborhood. And with ample parking, shares the lot with the 99¢ Store (
).

Heads-​up: My son and I have been coming to Lucy for our haircuts for the past 7 years. There are other stylists but we’ve been exclusive to Lucy.
Kudos: Lucy is fast and very skilled. She can take care of both of our heads in less than half an hour and it always turns out the way that we like it. We pay $ 12/​person + tip but if you’re a newcomer, it’s even cheaper.
Could be better: The cost does not include rinse. Also, it may take going a few times to get to know her and for her to be familiar with your preferences. No credit cards.
Shooting from the hip: This is a typical Asian place that’s rough on the edges and not the easiest on the eye. However, Lucy is fantastic and I wouldn’t trust my head (or my son’s head) with anybody else.

My review is limited to LUCY’S (the store owner) BLOW DRY service.
I’ve been visiting Lucy to have my hair blow dried for years. I don’t recommend any other stylist at this salon, or any other of their services for that matter. But Lucy is the only person, other than myself, who knows how to blow dry my very thick, frizzy and unruly hair. She blow dries at the speed of lightening and makes my hair stick straight, as if it were permed with Japanese straightening chemicals.
Most of her clients are Asian but, based on my experience, I would recommend her blow dry service to women of all ethnic backgrounds.
Plus, she only charges $ 20.
