had actually come to make an appointment at the salon across the street, Sculpt, but the vibrancy of Starr House drew me and I wandered thataway instead and booked an appointment there instead. Connie had just come back from her lunch and took me in immediately.
Service is FRIENDLY, FAST and FABULOUS! I LOVE my new hair cut - Connie was extremely friendly and attentive, and my new hairstyle is so easy to keep!

There is a sad disconnect between this lovely 4-star hotel and its spa. I booked a massage for myself and my aunt who was visiting from out of town. We used the workout room first, followed by the whirlpool and steam room. The gym was very tired and most of the TVs and sound equipment for each machine was broken. There were no mats or area to stretch. Most of the equipment looked like a mismatched collection of used gym equipment that a large gym no longer wanted. I know that there is no guarantee of a true, dyed in the wool, trained massage therapist at a hotel spa and The Langham is no different. My massage was done by a woman who most likely also worked the front desk and cleaning the locker rooms as well. There was no demonstrated expertise or indication that she had any real training in massage even though she said she had received her degree at a local tech jr college. The steam room was nice enough, but the whirlpool was very small and smelled like a hot chlorine bath... There were a few women talking very loudly on cell phones, so the posted signs forbidding cell phones was not enforced. All in all, a 2-3 star experience with a 4-5 star price.
Pros: Free parking in front.
Cons: Lack of skill in the massages and tired facilities. A built in 20% service fee!

Going here is like taking a vacation on my lunch hour! They have exquisite home decor items; it's like visiting an exquisite home. The staff are always gracious and never mind that half the time I look, but don't buy.

I thought this place was pretty good. It had a lot of beauty supplies and they sell a lot of top quality supplies. I bought some nail polishes there. It costs quite a bit but I guess if you want good make-up, you really do have to pay for it. I would say this place is pretty good overall though. The guy working there was okay.

I highly recommend this gym. The facility is large, stylishly decorated, and well-kept. The staff are fun, professional, knowledgable, and encouraging. Everyone feels welcomed there. The site is large and includes changing stalls with toiletries on theshelves for freshening up before heading back out for work, etc. Location: southwest corner of Altadena and Washington, right next to a 711 minimart. Hours are Mon-Fri: 7:30 - 12:30pm & 4:30 - 7:30pm; Sat: 8:00 - 11:30 am; closed on Sundays. The only downside is the small parking lot, although parking can be found on the street. This is a fun, service-oriented gym.

Eriko is awesome at eyelash extensions! She charges very good prices and she's great at what she does. She is very particular so it takes a good 2 hours for the first time and about 45 minutes to an hour for touch-ups. She is a Japanese girl, and is just great! I highly recommend her if you are looking for eyelash extensions in the Pasadena/LA area.

I was sick and tired of having these bad or mediocre eyebrow waxes that I started doing some research online. I kept hearing rave reviews about this place so I decided to make an appointment with Rebecca for an eye brow wax. Was she fabulous! She was nice and gentle and made sure I wasn't allergic to the wax itself even though I already told her that I wasn't. She did a great job! I love my new arch and have been going back to see her every two months! I heard that the hair services there are also excellent and I'm dying to try it soon!

Supercuts is my 'old standby' when I NEED a haircut and can't wait another minute. Is it a GREAT cut? No. Do I look like my hair was done in Bevery Hills, no. But...at $15 a cut- $5 more for a wash and $8 for a blowdry....it is tolerable. :) if you have normal, easy hair and are looking for a basic cut...it is a great savings. I've spent $100 on a cut that was almost exactly the same... I'll save my $ for more important things
