Frequently Asked Questions: Serving Altadena
How much does hair color cost for Altadena clients at Bokaos?
Our hair coloring services start at $95 for basic root touch-ups and range to $350+ for extensive corrections or full changes. Pricing depends on your hair length, thickness, current condition, and service complexity. We always provide a detailed quote during your complimentary consultation before starting any color work. For Altadena clients, we often recommend additional UV protection treatments (around $25 to $35) to combat the intense foothill sun exposure at your elevation.
Is it really worth driving from Altadena to Old Town Pasadena?
Absolutely! Most Altadena clients report the 10 to 12 minute drive down Lake or Fair Oaks is incredibly easy, and many combine their salon visit with Old Town shopping or dining. We're actually more convenient than many Altadena businesses because of free parking structures and easy access. Plus, you're getting celebrity-level expertise and 100% AVEDA products. Quality you won't find elsewhere in the foothill communities. Once you try us, the short drive becomes part of your self-care ritual.
Do you offer any specials for Altadena residents?
We welcome all San Gabriel Valley foothill community members with the same real service and pricing. New clients receive 15% off their first hair service plus complimentary AVEDA product samples (valued at $25). We also offer referral rewards. When you refer an Altadena neighbor, you both receive benefits. Follow us on Instagram for seasonal promotions and special offers.
How do AVEDA products protect hair from Altadena's intense sun?
AVEDA's formulas include natural UV filters and antioxidants specifically designed to protect color and prevent sun damage. For Altadena clients at higher elevation with 15% to 20% more UV exposure, we recommend AVEDA Sun Care collection including UV protective sprays and after-sun treatments. We customize every color formula with extra UV protection for foothill clients. Think of it as sunscreen for your hair. Essential in your climate.
Can you work with my busy Altadena family schedule?
Absolutely! We understand Altadena family life. School drop-offs, work commutes, kids' activities. We offer appointments throughout the day including early mornings (we open at 10 AM) and evenings. Many Altadena parents book while kids are in school. We work efficiently without sacrificing quality, and walk-ins are welcome when our schedule allows. Call (626) 304-0007 to find a time that works for your schedule.
What's the best treatment for dry hair caused by Santa Ana winds?
Altadena gets hit hard by dry Santa Ana winds sweeping down from the San Gabriels. We recommend AVEDA's intensive hydration treatments including deep conditioning masques, botanical repair treatments, and leave-in moisture products. Our keratin smoothing treatments also help seal the cuticle against moisture loss. During your appointment, we'll create a customized home care routine to combat dryness between visits. The key is consistent moisture replenishment.
Do you have experience with curly hair in dry climates?
Yes! Our stylists specialize in curly hair cutting and care, with specific expertise in managing curls in low-humidity environments. Altadena's dry air can make curls frizzy and undefined. We use AVEDA Be Curly line and teach you techniques to maintain curl definition despite the climate. We cut curls dry to see their natural pattern and customize styling methods for your specific curl type and lifestyle.
How often should Altadena residents get hair colored?
Due to intense UV exposure at your elevation, we typically recommend:
- Root touch-ups (solid color): Every 4 to 5 weeks (slightly more frequent than sea level)
- Full highlights: Every 8 to 10 weeks
- Balayage: Every 10 to 14 weeks (grows out naturally)
- Gray blending: Every 4 to 6 weeks
- Glossing treatments: Every 6 to 8 weeks (essential for UV protection)
We'll create a personalized maintenance schedule during your appointment based on your hair growth, budget, and sun exposure. Using AVEDA Sun Care products at home can extend time between color services.
Can you help with sun-damaged hair from hiking and outdoor activities?
Absolutely! Many Altadena clients are outdoor enthusiasts hiking Echo Mountain, Millard Canyon, and other foothill trails. Sun damage shows as dryness, brittleness, faded color, and split ends. We offer restorative treatments including AVEDA Botanical Repair, protein treatments, and deep conditioning. We'll also recommend protective products to use before outdoor activities. Prevention is key. UV protective sprays are essential before hiking.
Do you offer consultations before committing to a service?
Yes! We offer complimentary consultations for all services, especially beneficial for first-time clients or major changes. During consultation, we'll discuss your goals, assess your hair's current condition, explain how Altadena's climate affects your hair specifically, recommend services and products, and provide detailed pricing. Call (626) 304-0007 or email BokaosAveda@gmail.com to schedule. We'd rather spend 15 minutes talking first than have any surprises later.
What parking options are available near the salon?
Park at Paseo Colorado structure (Green Street and Marengo entrance, often validated with nearby purchases) or One Colorado parking structure. Both are within 2-minute walk. Street parking available on Colorado Boulevard and surrounding streets (watch meters and time limits). The Gold Line is also an option. Take it from Memorial Park Station to Del Mar Station (one stop), then walk one block. Many Altadena clients say parking is easier than they expected once they know the area.
Can you accommodate same-day appointments?
We welcome walk-ins based on availability! While we recommend booking ahead for color services with specific stylists, we often have same-day openings for cuts, blowouts, and spa services. Weekends and evenings are busier, so call ahead for best availability: (626) 304-0007. For quick services like men's cuts or brow waxing, walk-in availability is usually good. We'll always do our best to fit you in.
Do you offer men's services?
Yes! We offer complete men's services including precision haircuts (starting at $55), color services, grooming treatments, waxing, and spa services. Many Altadena men appreciate AVEDA's plant-based approach and our salon's unpretentious, welcoming atmosphere. No judgment, no weird looks, just great service. More and more men are discovering the benefits of professional salon care, and we're here for it.
How do I book with Hasblady Guzman specifically?
Hasblady's schedule fills quickly due to her real reputation. We recommend booking 3 to 6 weeks in advance for color services with her. Request Hasblady specifically when calling (626) 304-0007. New clients are always welcome, and she offers complimentary consultations to ensure you're a great fit. She's worth the wait. Her expertise and real care are unmatched.
What's your cancellation policy?
We require 24-hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer your time to another client. Late cancellations (under 24 hours) or no-shows may incur a cancellation fee (typically 50% of service cost). We understand emergencies happen. Just call us at (626) 304-0007 and we'll work with you. We're reasonable people who respect both your time and our stylists' schedules.
