Frequently Asked Questions: La Cañada Flintridge

How far is Bokaos Salon from La Cañada Flintridge?

We're located in Old Town Pasadena, approximately 10 to 12 minutes from most La Cañada Flintridge neighborhoods via Foothill Boulevard. It's an easy, scenic drive with minimal traffic most times of day. No freeways required. Many of our La Cañada clients appreciate that they can reach us quickly without fighting Los Angeles traffic. From Flintridge proper, you're looking at about 9 to 11 minutes. The drive is frankly easier than most people expect.

Is parking difficult in Old Town Pasadena?

Not at all! We're located near multiple convenient parking structures including Paseo Colorado (Green Street entrance) and One Colorado, both within a 2-minute walk of our salon. Street parking is also readily available on Colorado Boulevard and surrounding streets. Unlike many Los Angeles area salons where parking is a nightmare, parking in Old Town is actually quite easy once you know where to go. We're happy to give you specific directions when you book.

Do you offer family discounts or package deals?

Yes! We love serving entire families and offer package pricing for multiple services booked together. We also have special rates for teens and students. Many La Cañada families schedule multiple appointments on the same day. Mom and daughters together, for example. We can often accommodate this with advance booking. Call us at (626) 304-0007 to discuss family pricing options for your specific needs.

What makes AVEDA products worth the investment?

AVEDA products are 90 to 97% naturally derived from plants and non-petroleum minerals. They're certified cruelty-free, many are vegan, and AVEDA uses wind power for manufacturing. For families in La Cañada Flintridge who care about environmental responsibility and what they put on their bodies, this matters significantly. The performance is real. Professional-grade results. And you can feel good about every product we use. Many of our clients switched to AVEDA specifically because of their children and wanting safer, more natural products.

Can you accommodate last-minute appointments?

While we recommend booking in advance for the best availability (especially for color services with specific stylists), we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible. Our busiest times are typically Saturday mornings and weekday late afternoons. For quick services like blowouts or men's cuts, same-day availability is often good. Call us at (626) 304-0007 and we'll see what we can do. We understand that life gets busy and schedules change.

How do I maintain my color between salon visits?

Great question! We recommend using AVEDA's Color Conserve shampoo and conditioner, which are specifically formulated to prevent color fade. Limit washing to 2 to 3 times per week if possible, use lukewarm (not hot) water, and always apply AVEDA's Sun Care Protective Hair Veil before outdoor activities. This is especially important given La Cañada's intense sunshine and your active outdoor lifestyle. We'll give you personalized recommendations based on your specific color service during your appointment.

Do you work with teenage clients for prom and special events?

Absolutely! We love working with teens for proms, Sweet 16s, Quinceañeras, school dances, and other special events. We offer both hair and makeup services and can accommodate groups when booked in advance. Many La Cañada High School students and Flintridge Sacred Heart students come to us for these occasions. We recommend booking prom services at least 2 to 3 months in advance as those dates fill quickly. We also offer trial runs so your daughter knows exactly how she'll look on the big day.

What's your cancellation policy?

We require 24-hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer your time slot to another client. Late cancellations (less than 24 hours) or no-shows may be subject to a cancellation fee, typically 50% of the service cost. We understand that emergencies and sick kids happen. Life in La Cañada means juggling a lot. So just call us at (626) 304-0007 as soon as you know you need to reschedule and we'll work with you. We're reasonable people, but we do need to respect our stylists' time.

Can you fix damage from mountain sun and outdoor activities?

Yes! This is actually one of our specialties for foothill residents. The combination of intense UV exposure, elevation, and outdoor activities (hiking, mountain biking, swimming) can really damage hair. We offer deep conditioning treatments, bond-building services, and customized care plans to restore health and vitality to sun-damaged hair. Our colorists are also experts at maintaining lively color despite the intense mountain sunshine. During your consultation, we'll assess your hair's condition and create a restoration plan.

Do you offer men's grooming services?

Absolutely! We offer a full range of men's services including precision haircuts (starting at $55), color services (gray blending is very popular), grooming treatments, waxing, and spa services. Many La Cañada dads and professionals appreciate AVEDA's plant-based approach and our salon's welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere. More men are discovering the benefits of professional salon care, and we're happy to provide real service regardless of gender.

How often should I get my hair colored living in La Cañada?

This depends on the service and your lifestyle, but here are our recommendations for foothill residents:

  • Root touch-ups (solid color): Every 4 to 6 weeks
  • Full highlights: Every 8 to 12 weeks
  • Balayage: Every 10 to 16 weeks (grows out more naturally, perfect for busy schedules)
  • Gray blending: Every 4 to 8 weeks depending on coverage needs
  • Glossing treatments: Every 6 to 8 weeks for shine and UV protection

Given La Cañada's intense sunshine, we may recommend more frequent glossing treatments to maintain color vibrancy and protect from UV damage. We'll customize a maintenance schedule during your appointment based on your hair, lifestyle, and budget.

Can you recommend products for swimming in chlorinated pools?

Yes! This is important for La Cañada families with pools. We recommend AVEDA's Sun Care Protective Hair Veil before swimming (it creates a barrier against chlorine), and Color Conserve shampoo afterward to remove chlorine buildup. For frequent swimmers, we also recommend weekly deep conditioning treatments. Chlorine is incredibly damaging to hair, especially color-treated hair. So proper protection and care are essential. We'll create a customized pool-proof routine for your family.

Do you do bridal services for destination weddings?

Yes! We've done bridal hair and makeup for weddings throughout Southern California, including mountain venues near La Cañada. We offer full bridal services including trial sessions, wedding day styling, makeup application, and services for the entire bridal party. We can provide services in-salon or arrange on-location styling for larger parties (additional travel fees apply). Contact us well in advance to discuss your wedding date, location, and needs. We've done dozens of weddings and know exactly how to make your day stress-free and beautiful.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, cash, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. We also offer financing options for larger services like hair extensions through select payment platforms. Basically, however you prefer to pay, we can accommodate it.

How do I book an appointment with Hasblady specifically?

Hasblady's calendar fills quickly due to her real reputation and years of experience. We recommend booking 3 to 6 weeks in advance for color services with her, especially during busy seasons. You can request Hasblady specifically when booking by phone at (626) 304-0007. New clients are always welcome, and Hasblady offers complimentary consultations to ensure you're a great fit before committing to a full service. Many La Cañada residents specifically seek her out, so advance booking is essential.

At Bokaos Salon & Spa, we approach beauty with a unique philosophy rooted in AVEDA's mission: to care for the world we live in, from the products we make to the ways we give back to society.

Our Core Beliefs:

Environmental Responsibility Matters

We lead by example in sustainable beauty practices. Every choice we make considers the environmental impact. Something that resonates deeply with La Cañada Flintridge residents who value preserving natural beauty.

Purity Delivers Results

Plant-based products work better and are better for you. We've proven this thousands of times with our clients and their families.

Personalized Service is Non-Negotiable

Every client deserves individualized attention. You're not a number here. You're a valued individual with unique needs and goals.

Continuous Education Improves Our Craft

We're always learning the latest techniques. The beauty industry evolves constantly, and so do we through ongoing AVEDA education.

Community Connection Enriches Everything

We're proud to serve foothill communities like La Cañada Flintridge. Your values and lifestyle inform how we approach our work.

Kindness and Service Define Us

We wear them on our sleeves. Life is too short to deal with dismissive or impersonal service. You deserve better.

The AVEDA Lifestyle Experience

Step into Bokaos and you'll immediately feel the difference. Our salon embodies the AVEDA Lifestyle: chic, modern design infused with natural elements, soothing botanical aromas, and a commitment to holistic beauty. Every detail (from our comfortable styling stations to our chosen AVEDA product displays to our welcoming team) is designed to create an experience that honors both you and the environment.

What Makes Us a True AVEDA Lifestyle Salon:

  • 100% AVEDA products exclusively
  • Team trained as AVEDA educators and specialists
  • Environmental leadership in salon practices
  • Connection to AVEDA's global mission
  • Commitment to pure flower and plant essences

When you choose an AVEDA Lifestyle Salon, you're choosing a level of quality and environmental consciousness that chain salons simply can't match.
