Trilogia the Salon

Such a great place to find that inner me !!!
I loved the relaxed atmosphere and positive Energy I got as I walked through the door. I was welcomed by each person I met eyes with, very friendly staff. Chris at the Front Desk was so helpful and pleasant to talk to. He actually made me feel I belonged there. Stylist Annette was Amazing, somehow she figured out how to bring out personality in my look that I didn’t even know I had… :) Always personable and professional, She made suggestions for ways to care for my new style that I hadn’t even thought of (I should learn to listen better. lol). It is so rare to find someone so professional yet takes a personal interest in the satisfaction of their customers. Even After the Sale. I am definitely going to be a return customer. What a great experience at ANY Price…

Love this place! Raquel has been my stylist for as long as I can remember and even though I live in Arizona now she still asks my mom how I’m doing every time she comes in to get her hair cut. She really cares about her clients. If I’m home visiting my parents and need to get my hair done, she’s the only person I’d go to!
Raquel is a fantastic stylist and put up with my ever-​chaging hair colors (without damaging my hair) when I was a teenager. I’d recommend this place (and Raquel) to any of my friends looking for a salon in the Monrovia area.

I love this place! I highly recommend Annette. I originally found her through Unilocal reviews and I’ve been a dedicated fan of Annette ever since. People stop me frequently to ask who does my hair. They love the cut and color. Annette always understands my requests, has a lovely easy-​going nature, she’s a total professional, and the best hairstylist I’ve ever, EVER, had. I almost don’t want to write this review because I’m scared she’ll be so booked up that I won’t get an appointment with her, but seriously, you can’t do wrong with Annette. Also, the salon is nice and clean, has delicious cookies and coffee, a lovely bathroom, and great magazines. They really take good care of their customers.

This review is chiefly for Annette, who has a fabulous down-​to-​earth personality and delivers high quality work at Trilogia salon. (I will get to the salon itself below.) Unlike my former stylist in Corona del Mar who would push products and refuse to listen to my requests (I once asked for bangs and he stood back staring at my face concerned for 5 minutes before declaring «No» like the Toscanini of hair), Annette listens to her clients’ needs and maintains a calm and friendly demeanor, which allows you to implicitly trust her. She has a great memory and goes beyond what most stylists offer to do (she remembered to text me a referral to a tailor for example, and offered to personally call me for reminders at my request).
The salon itself is nothing special. I wish there weren’t ants crawling around, and that the nooks and crannies of the salon were cleaned a little more thoroughly. I am a Virgo with a penchant for noticing these details (and being driven crazy by them) so I would like to see less dust and grime in corners. The wear and tear shows, but I ultimately come here for Annette.

Great place! Everyone is so nice and friendly. Marco is the best colorist ever. Thanks to his talented ways, no one knows that I am completely gray!

When I wanted to find a salon local to me, I checked out a few in my area and something was always off. Either the place was kinda dingy or I felt like I was interrupting the staff having a private party or something. Not the case at Trilogia! The place is bright and clean. The staff members are friendly. They have coffee and cookies and filtered water. A little changing room to put on a smock. I love putting on smocks, makes me feel like I’m really being pampered, ha ha! And they have a nice bathroom. I’ve been seeing Marco for a while now and love him. He’s excellent with color and a total sweet guy. He’ll make you feel comfortable and listen to you and what you want and also give his professional opinion about your locks and what to do. He goes out of his way to make sure you’re happy with the results. Easy parking on the street or in the lot behind the place in the alley.

My hairstyles have gone through many trends, from disco to all of Madonna’s looks, long, short, colors, curly, straight, bobs, and looking back at pictures, to WHAT THE HE’LL WAS I THINKING! LOL! But, the hairstyle was the trend at that time.
Throughout the years of my desire to keep up with the latest hairstyles, I’d gone to many stylists. There is nothing worst in a woman’s life than to try out a new stylist who butchers her hair (obviously, there are many things worst. But this review is for dramatic purposes). Yeah, yeah, it’ll grow out. but in the meantime, you’re walking around with a crappy-​ass blop on your head.
Some stylists were pretty bad, and the stylists who were right on point, just didn’t jibe with me. In my quest to find my perfect match, I walked into a salon about 20 years ago, and met Marco. I wanted the works. my hair color and style to be changed. I brought in a torn out picture from a magazine and said, «I’d like this please.»
I was impressed with Marco’s personality. Check! We get along well. He spent a long time on my hair because I wanted the works.
When he was done, I couldn’t believe my stroke of luck. Everything was perfect! My hair was beautiful! Another CHECK! I found my colorist and stylist!
I followed him like a groupie. He’s the best colorist and stylist with a fantastic personality. I’d set my appts., for every six weeks because at that time, I worked in a professional environment.
My hair was always complimented by co-​workers and strangers. I love Marco’s work.
The Trilogia’s staff is very welcoming, complimentary, make eye contact and smile. The salon is very clean. All of that greatness trumps the receptionist answering the phone who has good intentions, but may lack a little in phone etiquette. She’s a doll in person.

Joanna is awesome! Her haircuts last for a long time, and if I come back too soon she always seems a little bit concerned. But she has never given me a haircut that was less than excellent. The whole staff is friendly, and I always enjoy coming to Trilogia. I was paying $ 60 for a first-​rate haircut in San Francisco 20 years ago, so I certainly don’t mind paying $ 60 now. It’s a bargain.

I leave this place satisfied every time! Johanna has been cutting, coloring and styling my hair for years. She makes me feel younger and brand new. She is always on time and never rushes me out the door. Receptionist calls to confirm my appointments and accommodates with my schedule. The salon is clean, layout provides privacy with good ventilation and convenient parking in the back. Your head may swell a little from all the nice complements you’ll get but that’s normal. I know you’ll pause longer in front of a mirror and will look forward to your next beauty day!

Make your appointment for Marco and your life will change.

I’ve been going to Joanna for awhile now and love her! I discovered her on Unilocal and haven’t gone to anyone else since. Joanna always does a great job with my hair. I’ll sometimes go in not knowing what I want done and she’ll make suggestions. I trust her with my hair and she’s always done a great job. I only see her for haircuts so I can’t offer a review regarding her coloring services.
Staff here have always been nice. Whenever I call to make an appointment staff are always friendly and courteous.

I went many years without getting my hair professionally done. Ok — so I have trust issues. But then I found Annette at Trilogia. She took me from long to shorter to above my shoulder length hair. She has an eye for giving you the right cut for you face. It’s just beautiful and I couldn’t be more happy! The salon is really clean, nicely appointed and they’re on time.

When I called to make the appointment I asked if they had a color specialist and the girl on the phone rudely laughed and said «oh please deary, they all are». I looked on here to see who had the best reviews and from there chose to see Annette! Worst decision of my life, she was supposed to take me from a dirty blonde to a light brown and she turned me to a chocolate brown and the highlights showed through as grey! Don’t waste your money folks, this place is far too expensive to be so run down and to have such poor service!

Me: BB! I need your stylist number! I need my hair DID!
Bea: Joanna is great @ Trilogia, I been going for 8 years after some one gave me a bobcut!
Me: Ew. Ok I trust you girl!
Indeed I did and her referral was great! Appointment was easy to make with flexiable hours too!
I have long, flat hair, I can curl it and it will fall flat within an hour! =(
Came in, was greeted, asked on what I was thinking and needing. Hair washed, cut and she gave me her opinion on what she felt would work for my face and what I currently had. I had layers already, she trimmed them and cleaned them up and gave me some on the back so my hair would look fuller!
Hair came out great, had a lovely time there and I will sure go back!

I started going to Annette at Trilogia earlier this year, and have been extremely happy with both her work, and the salon experience. I originally choose Annette because I needed color correction, and she was able to do that (when others said I’d have to wait for the color to grow out, or cut it). Not only did she do a great color correction, but she helped me see that my long hair was badly damaged, and needed a fresh new look. I let her tak about 9″ off, reluctantly, and am SO happy I did! My hair looks great, is healthy and easy to style.
I drive all the way to Monrovia from Riverside to see Annette, and it’s well worth it!

I have been going to Raquel since I was a little girl. I think its been at LEAST 14 – 15 years. She is an amazing hair stylist! Not to mention everyone else at Trilogia they are all amazing stylists! The energy in the salon is great. They really listen to your needs and what you want. I have never walked out with a bad hair style!
I HIGHLY recommend this salon. I recommend Trilogia to my friends CONSTANTELY!
They also do make up and some waxing from my understanding as well! Check Trilogia out, its an amazing salon!
They are right down the street from Downtown Monrovia too! You can show off your new hair do!

I have been going to Raquel for 10+ years. In addition to her remarkable talents with hair cuts and color, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
The entire staff at this salon makes everyone feel welcome, it is a great environment.

I was looking for a new local salon after I relocated and found this place thanks to my fellow Unilocalers. It is obvious who the crowd favorite is here… Annette. I requested her and scheduled and appointment for a trim and consolation for future services.
I found parking a block away but I really needed the walk (looks down at belly). The exterior of the shop (I forgot to take pictures of…) looks very petite but I was very surprised when I walked in. They had each cutting station divided by a wall, which I loved, very clean and sophisticated. I filled out a short survey and then met with Annette. She was very sweet and gave me great cut.
For those who do not know, I have a massive amount of very coarse, uncontrollable wavy hair. I straighten it everyday and have had the japanese straight perm a number of times in the past.
An hour later, I feel like she shaved all of my hair off and put a very light wig on my head… it is so unreal how my hair feels… I guess I should re-​review again after a few days. It feels healthy, soft, straight, light… and it seemed so effortless to her. I felt like I sat there for 15 minutes and everything was done… Amazing.
The end result was $ 55 but I really loved the whole process. I’ll be coming back for a more drastic cut and color next year.

I have been going to Annette at Trilogia for probably 3 or 4 years now. She always does an amazing job… all I have to say is «Long layers, about this long» and poof! — it’s exactly the way I like it.
I live all the way out in the West end of the San Fernando Valley, but I make special trips out to Monrovia for my haircuts. I tried a closer place when I moved, but it was a mediocre cut and cost about $ 20 more! I have had lots of bad luck in the past with finding a good hairstylist, with visits often ending in tears and a ponytail, but not with Annette! I am always happy with the results.
Her prices are very reasonable and well worth it. She is very good with curly hair if that’s your need.

This place is pretty out of the way for someone who works in frigging Hollywood and lives in Highland Park. But I will confess, I feel so spoiled by the ladies here at Trilogia that I’m afraid to try out someplace new.
My mom grew up pretty poor and doesn’t do whole whole ‘salon’ thing. Her nails chip and she hates people touching her feet, so she’s never gotten a pedicure in her life, and her skin is allergic to everything, so she doesn’t do facials, either. Therefore, I missed out on a lot of those «mother-​daughter trips to the spa» that you often hear about from other ladies. With these in mind, my mom is pretty self conscious going into a lot of salons. She knows that despite her wrinkle-​free skin, she doesn’t plaster on the makeup and is pretty low-​maintenance all together… and a lot of salons give you a pretty snooty vibe when that’s how you roll.
Not this one, though. This place is hipster free, bullshit free, and pretension free, yet all the stylists are so talented, and they use products that keep my hair nice and healthy. Everyone who works here is so, so friendly and professional, which is why my mom has been having Enjoli cover up her grey hairs since she started getting them at an unGodly young age. (With this in mind, I shudder at my own hair’s future.)
Because I live a little far (and because I do let my hair grow out between styles), I don’t make it out here too frequently, but I am a long-​time client of Joanna. Sometimes I go in and know exactly what I want, but most of the time, I don’t. Most of the time I give her some vague idea of what I don’t want, whether it’s color, cut or both, and it magically comes out PERFECT. I have really thick hair and she always thins it for me, and cuts it in such a way that it grows out comfortable and still looks good in the process.
I know it’s a little far… but I have a hard time picturing myself taking my hair elsewhere. Trilogia is clean, professional, consistent, and run by some pretty awesome ladies. 5 stars!
