One client at a time. Every service, personally by Sana.
No assistants, no rushing between chairs. I book a single guest at a time so I can read your hair — its length, its history, what it needs — and give it my full attention from start to finish.
Specializing in color root retouch, color correction, highlights & lowlights, permanent waves, keratin smoothing treatments, and precision cuts for every hair texture.
Your hair isn't an assembly line. It deserves one pair of hands, start to finish.— Sana Lim
A Vidal Sassoon eye, honed over three decades.
Sana Lim trained at Vidal Sassoon and brought that precision back to his hometown of Pasadena. After 30+ years behind the chair, his instinct for individual needs is the thing clients return for — precision cuts that suit your lifestyle and work for every hair texture, permanent waves shaped for lasting, natural movement, color from subtle root retouches to full color correction and vivid transformations that grow out gracefully, and an honest read on what your hair can actually do.
Today Sana works independently at Studio 91 on East Green Street — a calm, private studio set apart from the bustle. Every appointment is his alone: he performs every service himself, books one client at a time, and personally handles the consultation so the time quoted matches the work your hair truly needs.

What clients say.
Real feedback from Sana's Google Business Profile — unedited, from clients who booked a chair.
“He is the only hair stylist I've met that uses scissors for the entirety of the session. He also gives interesting stories and kept my mom entertained.”
“He had flawless technique. We both have long, thick curly hair and he handled it wonderfully. We both felt beautiful with our layered haircuts!”
“He is so genuinely kind and sweet. I've been very insecure about my hair since going through cancer, and he has made me feel beautiful.”
“Sana is the best! He takes the time to get your hair cut and color exactly right. I can't go anywhere else now that I've found Sana.”
“He's a master of his craft. His experience and skill are reflected in the fabulous haircut he was able to achieve for me.”
“He dyed my black hair blonde in one session, and because of his knowledge, it has remained healthy and looks fantastic. He's the only hair stylist I trust.”
Good to know.
