5 Stars: FABULOUS HAIRDRESSER IN PASADENA (by Carla33)

Carla33 — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I was very fortunate to find Cesare. I lived in Orange County for over 20 years and moved out to Pasadena when I got married 2 years ago. I needed to find a hairdresser closer to my home. When I talked to Cesare on the phone, I knew he was the type of hairdresser I wanted! I went in and he made me feel very comfortable and I was very pleased with the whole experience, along with my hair feeling and looking fabulous, I left with a smile!! My husband went in as well, for a haircut, and I must say I've never seen his hair look better! Thank you, Cesare! We look foward to many years together and you keeping my husband and myself looking great!

5 Stars: Brazilian Blow Out (by Abeer)

Abeer — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I've been going to Cesare for over 22 years. I now take my daughter to get her hair cut by Cesare too. We both love it and enjoy the experience. Cesare just gave me the great Brazilian Blow Out. My hair feels soft, silky and extra shiny. My hair is curly and usually when I go to the beach it would always get frizzy BUT after the Brazillian treatment that Cesare gave me my hair never got frizzy again. I love it and I received so many compliments. Cesare always knows whats best for your hair. He's like a Hair Dr...I definitley recommends Cesare for anyone that is lookng for a new healthy and great look for their hair.

5 Stars: Brazilian Blow Out (by Sheila77)

Sheila77 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have had problems with my hair for some time being too frizzy and a bit dull. I asked Cesare if there was anything I could do. I was soo tired of my hair flying into my face. He told me about Brazilian Blow Out. I thought, Okay I'll give it a shot. WOW! This is an amazing treatment. It is a simple process and I was able to walk out right away with sleek smooth frizz free hair, with no static and fly away. It feels crazy soft and everyone has said something.
Best Part, even with all this "smoothing" my bangs now stay put where I style them. That I did not expect. Keeping up with the maintenance is easy as he sold me everything I needed to make it last 12 weeks. Marked it on my calendar it might last even longer.

5 Stars: Brazilian Blowout (by Citygirl Jewel)

Citygirl Jewel — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have curly hair. I've had to worry about frizzy hair my whole life. Cesare did the Brazilian Blowout hair treatment on my hair. What a difference it has made! Now my hair doesn't friz when it rains or when I visit my friends by the beach. Blow drying my hair takes half the time it used to take. I can do hairstyles I've always wanted to try. I am finally free from friz. Thanks Cesare! You are awesome.

5 Stars: Finally! My search is at an end! (by ginapapa)

ginapapa — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Someone once told me your hair is your crowning glory! When you get a good cut and color you know it because you walk out feeling like a new person. Even better, it maintains that look weeks after! Once you get your hair cut by Cesare you will know it to be true! If you've been looking for someone who will take your features and hair type into consideration, and you don't want the standard "haircut of the month" then go to this salon. I've been looking for years for someone who is actually a classically trained stylist, who knows what they are doing and I've finally found it. The atmosphere is friendly and warm and you will be glad you tried it!!!

5 Stars: Brazilian Blow-out (by sarah47)

sarah47 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Cesare recently conditioned by hair with the Brazilian Blow-out process and products. I'm just amazed at how manageable my hair is with this process and terrific products. It has great shine, softness, and texture and is very easy to style. I can now manage my hair between visits to Cesare. Worth every penny!

5 Stars: Stylish mans cut (by Luka33)

Luka33 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I work in the Photography field, and I wanted a style that was edgy but still classy. Cesare gave me that with a choppy cut, and a few color extensions. I get comments everyday. People say my look now reflects my work.
He was accommodating in allowing me to come in later in the evening. Thats a plus!

5 Stars: The compliments just keep on coming! (by Rhonda E)

Rhonda E — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Cesare really makes the experience with his charm, knowlege and expertise. . . I felt like a new person when I left the salon with my gorgeous extensions. My friends just went ga-ga. Now in all honesty, it wasn't exactly cheap, but it was SO worth the money. Being a mom of 3 teens, I usually don't spend a lot on myself; however, I was getting married and I needed a "look." I have received so many compliments --everyone knows something is different, but no one can say exactly what -- that's how hard it is to tell. Cesare, you are a magic man! Not to mention, simply adorable and fabulous. Much praise, thank you so much! Oh, and the Caviar treatment made my hair yummy, silky and lustrous, it was like brand new hair. Thanks again, you rock!

5 Stars: Enviable Hair! (by Amy V)

Amy V — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I needed a last minute hair cut and was recommended to Cesare who saw me right away. From the moment he greeted me outside to the moment I left the appointment my experience could not have gone any better. Cesare recognizes each individuals specific needs and not only does he cut ( and/or treat/style) each individual accordingly, he explains what he is doing and how to maintain your new look. For me, I have two cowlicks, I wear my hair up all day, and yet I still want it to look nice down and be manageable for somebody who is low maintenance. I got all that and more...my boyfriend even stopped cesare periodically to take pictures because it has never looked so good...and healthy! Cesare is by far the best stylist I've ever had and the compliments I've been getting just reassures that I don't need to look any farther. Anything you need, Cesare can do it. HIGHLY recommended.

5 Stars: Terrific Hair Dresser (by MBMAX)

MBMAX — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Cesare helped me and has worked with me over time to find the right cut and color as I went through fashions phases. I am glad I found a stylist who wants to make me happy, not just force a trendy style on me. If at first it does not work, just keep tryin. Thanks Cesare

5 Stars: Best Hair Dresser in Los Angeles Ca (by Pam AGuirre)

Pam AGuirre — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Cesare for over 15 years, he continues to make me look fabulous, I follow him wherever he goes, not to mention he is a great person, easy to talk with and fun loving, the best Stylist I have ever known, thats why for 15 years he is " My Guy" !!!

5 Stars: Cesare gives you The WOW Factor (by goldilocks424)

goldilocks424 — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I came to Cesare about 5 years ago, after seeing a co-worker who had been completely transformed by him. She looked amazing! When I asked her who did her hair, she referred me to Cesare.

Cesare is not average in any way. He is an artist, and a true professional. He gives you that WOW factor that makes the difference between good and great!. I also love that he gives his clients undivided attention, and I've never had to wait when arriving at my appointment time. I've had others color and cut my hair, but no one does it like Cesare. He is absolutely an expert, and only uses the highest quality products.

5 Stars: MAJOR WOW FACTOR!!!!!!!!!! (by Pleased to the highest)

Pleased to the highest — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 02:00:00 GMT

One of the most relaxing, invigorating, unpretentious experiences I've had at any salon has got to be my recent visit to Hair by Cesare. I walked into a greatly-lit space, and was readily welcomed by the super friendly staff at the front desk. I was immediately greeted by Cesare, who was so intuitive with my needs for a new look that I completely set all my usual hair manipulating fears aside. I had been referred to him by a friend of mine whose hair looks absolutely the cutest I've ever seen it look, so I decided to go with her recommendation and give him a try. Well let me tell you.... Cesare is nothing short of amazing. He gave me the perfect color to suit my everyday needs. He was so attentive and sweet that I just felt so at ease with him and trusted that my hair was in good hands. I walked out of the salon, with a gorgeous blonde hair color, that is completely manageable even in the days after visiting the salon. I cannot say just how pleased and ecstatic I am with the service and reliability of everyone at Hair by Cesare. I will, without a doubt, be recommending Cesare and Hair by Cesare to my friends. It is definitely one of the best salon experiences I've ever had!!

4 Stars: Great service, microline expert (by Karen Y)

Karen Y — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Friendly salon, comfortable place to hang out. Microline experts hard to find; he's knowledgeable, caring & funny. Takes great care of you & your needs Highly recommended.

5 Stars: Great Hair and Great Work (by L Jay)

L Jay — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

have an OCD behavior of pulling at my hair. My hair had become so unruly and thinning to the point that I was considering extensions. Cesare consulted with me, and we came up with a plan to get my hair back to shiny and healthy and help me stop pulling it. He is devoted to giving you the best treatments and care. The extensions he put in my hair are amazing and has helped me reduce my pulling habit to next to never. I highly recommend Cesare--you will not be disappointed!

Cesare really works with you to be able to give you the fantastic hair you want. Love him!

4 Stars: Long and a Full head of hair in minutes! (by Houda)

Houda — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Cesare is very artistic and makes sure that what he does with your hair will match your personality and face contour. His passion for his work translates into his creations for awesome hair and great looks! Schedule a consultation and see for yourself!! I did, and so far I have received nothing but compliments!

5 Stars: World-class color correction! (by Drumgranny)

Drumgranny — Fri, 01 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I came to Cesare at my wit's end because I had been dying my silver-gray hair medium brown for about 6 months at home and was sick of maintaining it. If you have ever tried to go back to your natural color after a home dye-job, you know it's next to impossible! It took two visits but, with Cesare's expert knowledge of the very latest techniques in damage-free stripping and color correction, my hair is now a color I can live with as it eases gracefully back to its natural silvery-gray color. Cesare is cheerful, courteous, funny and best of all, a master craftsman in color science. I recommend his service highly.

5 Stars: CESARE' THE GREAT!! (by SRClark)

SRClark — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I just moved to Southern California from Austin TX and I know that I've allready found the Hair Stylist for Me!! I've always had the Great Lengths hair Extensions and was ready to have them taken out. Cesare' reccomended the Hairdreams and Im so glad I took his advice!! What a difference!! The extensions lay flat, instead of round and nubby like the Great Lengths and the Hair is a much better quality. Cesare' took the time to blend different colors to create a unique look just for me and explained everything along the way!! His service and attention to detail is second to none!! Thank you Cesare'!!!

5 Stars: Creative style and color (by smbamber)

smbamber — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I wanted to express just how much I love my new look. I went to Cesare from a friends recommendation. I said I wanted a new look, and that is what I got. We talked out my options then we did color. Cesare Promised I would never have to curl or hairspray again( I was killing my hair), and he was right.
I got so many compliments that I thought I would take it a step further. Cesare had suggested hair extensions for a fuller look. I had heard alot about them but was weary. I could usually tell when a person has extensions. Cesare showed me the bonding and the attachment, and It looked good so I thought I'd try a few strands. I love them. I do not even know they are there. Easy to maintain and very comfortable. I am very active and did not want to have to fuss with my hair. Believe me when I say he knows what he is doing. In my book worth every dollar.... Even if I have to do a little at a time.
See you for the next visit cesare.

5 Stars: Best Hairdresser in Pasadena! (by AshleySC)

AshleySC — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

After trying Amadeus, Evolutions, Alex & Friends, and many other salons in Pasadena, I became convinced that my hair would always look "adequate" at best. Then I decided to take a risk & try someone new that I found here on Citysearch-- Cesare' of Hotheads..! Wow - what a difference! My recent horrible layered haircut from Amadeus he "fixed" --adding layers with extensions. My hair has always been thin and fine-- but now its thick, natural, and healthy looking! Not only that-- no one can tell its extensions! These extensions are different from the ones I had in the nineties. They are lightweight and will last six months!
Thank you Cesare!

5 Stars: Drab to Diva - Trust Cesare (by Melissa52572)

Melissa52572 — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Cesare will transform you. Trust him. Listen to him. He knows hair. I didn't believe Cesare when he told me my Hairdreams hair extensions would last six months and would not damage my hair. Well, it turns out, they did last six months, and they didn't damage my hair. I've tried other hair extensions and the result was that a lot of my regular hair came out with the extensions after just a few months. Cesare took out my 1/2 year old Hairdreams extensions and my hair was thicker and healthier than it has been in years. We decided to do another round, this time with laser extensions on the side, and the result was very lightweight, beautiful hair. Cesare isn't cheap, but he's worth the money. He can just look at you and envision the "right" look for you. The salon is comfortable. Cesare will explain everything he is doing and why. He has never made me wait or wasted my time.

4 Stars: Healthy Hair (by mirtamilo)

mirtamilo — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I tried Cesare simply by chance few months ago. Contrary to what was said, his pricing is comparable to the quality of his work. He does not overcharge, but actually tries to give you the best deal, which almost never happens in this town! I am very pleased with his work. He has transformed
my overprocessed hair into very healthy and shiny hair! I recommend Cesare to anyone looking for a good colorist! His wonderful personality is a PLUS!

5 Stars: Great laser hair extension (by catty07)

catty07 — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I have thin and damaged hair and Cesare gave me the best consult and walked me through the process of getting back a healthy and fuller hair. He applied a hair treatment to restore it and recommended a great product to help correct the damage in the coming weeks. He then added hair extension through laser in just a few minutes, which blends in perfectly with my natural hair! Cesare is also friendly, and easy to work with. Thank you Cesare.

5 Stars: Love My Hair Extensions (by icepak)

icepak — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I have had thin and fine hair all my life and finally I met Cesare. He gave me the best consult and walked me through the process. I love my new hair. Cesare is friendly, frank and fast.
Thank you Cesare

5 Stars: Sassy hair (by gaudi)

gaudi — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I was very excited to find a stylist who knows what he is doing. Not only creative but fast. My time is very valuable and I was glad to get a cut and color done in an Hour. I really like the style and have received alot of compliments. I look forward to going back again. I might even have to try exstensions. highly recommend.

1 Stars: Highly overpriced mediocre gab (by sandyeyes_dup)

sandyeyes_dup — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Read the rave reviews which seem to have been writen by Cesare himself and fel for it. Ver overpriced (charged $135.00) for trim and color. The color of my hair looks unchanged (I could have done it myself with L'oreal Feria). The cut is non-existent. He said he wants to give my hair shape while I wanted a cut.(Some misunderstanding there I suppose). What I did not like is that he was not up front about his pricing.
I hate it when someone does a lousy job and overcharges me and then tries to push products and wants me to return for highlights in 3 weeks. I might not know anything about cutting hair but certainy am not dumb enought to return to Cesare. Would not recommend it to anybody. You are better off at Supercuts.

5 Stars: Simply the best (by amaankaur)

amaankaur — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Ceasar is simply great. No words to explain about his work. wat all i was looking for my haircut, Ceasar just did the exact thing. I wasnt able to describe it to anyone but he just gave me a different and a new look. Everyone appreciated his task. I would reccomend him to evryone. Atleast give a try and see you'll write the same way as i did....................

lovelyhorses — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

cesare is a really friendly guy who has a good eye for the perfect hair. He colored my hair perfectly and did my extensions beautifully. I really recommend him to anyone out there wanting a beautiful hair cut, extensions, coloring etc. You won't be disappointed!

5 Stars: Loyal Customer for Life! (by chrissan)

chrissan — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Cesare for 6 years. He had me at the first visit and has since become a friend. I don't know what I would do without him. Cesare is personable, sincere and great at what he does. You can feel his passion for his chosen career.

4 Stars: great salon (by leannarubin)

leannarubin — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 02:00:00 GMT

A trip to his salon is like a mini-vacation for me - everyone there is extremely friendly, and I'm always treated like a princess - not to mention the fact that my hair always looks fantastic when I leave!

5 Stars: BEST HAIR EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD !!!! (by llllllllll)

llllllllll — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

WOW!! I HAD MY HAIR DONE BY CESARE LAST SATURDAY. WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE. THE SHOP IS VERY AIRY AND FRESH. THE PEOPLE THERE WERE HAPPY AND FRIENDLY. CESARE IS A VERY KIND PERSON. HE IS VERY EASY TO TALK WITH , AND HE MADE ME FEEL LIKE A FRIEND.
HE HAS A GREAT SPIRIT. A VERY SPECIAL PERSON.

I WILL ALWAYS GO TO CESARE. CHECK HIM OUT. YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!

5 Stars: Creative genius (by mblemel)

mblemel — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Hello out there. Is there really a stylist who listens??? YES Cesare was great, listened to what i wanted, then gave me some additional options on new styles I might like. Gave me a cut that looks great and people notice the difference. Gone are the years of the same old cut. Give yourself the boost you deserve and check out Cesare.

5 Stars: Who needs the West Side when you have it all here in Pasadena (by hermq)

hermq — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Cesare has his finger on the pulse of cool in the hair fashion world right here in the cosmopolitan city of Pasadena. A true hair professional that can keep you looking good on a consistent basis and who has been doing that for me for the past 22 years. If you want a great experience and want to know what's what go check out Cesare.

4 Stars: Boyfriend never happier (by hjomyer)

hjomyer — Wed, 30 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

A freind recommended Cesare to help give me a lift to my style. I had been stuck in the 90's look for too long. He conditioned my hair and gave me the cut of a lifetime. The condition brought out all the highlights from a previous color, and made my hair feel great. The cut added layers to my heavy hair and softened my whole look. My boyfriend said I looked "Sassy" even his dad did not recognize me. Friends asked if I got new highlight, and I said no, but the conditioner is great for dull hair. He really knows his stuff. So glad I found him.

3 Stars: Purveyor of Beauty... (by vlakas65)

vlakas65 — Tue, 29 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Every LA woman needs her own fabulous stylist. Yes girls, there is a hair god. Funky, classic or somewhere in between--Cesare does it all. With a passion for beauty and a great eye for colour, shape and texture, he will bring your radiance to another plateaux. Known as "the wizard" of his craft with extensions, he will give you the runway hair you've always longed for. His savvy & experience with your input and vision will keep you going back for more.
So...be good to yourself--and to your hair. Give him a jingle at HOTHEADS today. It's the necessity you've been looking for.

5 Stars: Finally great extensions (by luenga)

luenga — Mon, 28 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

After a long search I have found a stylist who knows what he is doing with extensions. I needed just alittle help and Cesare was able to work with a minimum amount of strands to get me to where I wanted to be.
His product is 100% natural hair and the attachement wont damage my hair. Now I have the look I wanted at a reasonable price. I was surprised he could do the extensions and color in one session. Perfect for anyone wanting to change up their look. Worth checking into.

3 Stars: Pushy and empty (by spayandneuter)

spayandneuter — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I went in to see Ceasar based on good customer reviews on Citysearch.The first time I went in for a cut and color. He pushed me into a deep conditioning instead and a cut. After the fact, he said I could not get my hair color now because of the conditoning. So I went in again a week later to an empty salon, again, which is kinda creepy. He colored it and it was fine, not extraordinary. He then trimmed it again and charged me for it! I just thought he was touching up what he did a week ago. He's really pushy about products and talks on his cell phone the whole time. The salon is not inviting at all either. And both times I made my appointments, he barely called back the same days and changed times on me. I learned my lesson!

5 Stars: At ease with style (by brandimax)

brandimax — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Recently met with Cesare fo a new look. I was worried as I had not a clue what to do. He discussed with me my face structure, daily routine, and how I like to wear it. The result, a cut that works perfectly for me.
I am very happy with his sense of style. I am glad I found him. Now if I could get up the nerve for color?????
May next time as I will be going back.

1 Stars: Thanks for the bowlcut.... (by dibs22)

dibs22 — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

This man totally butchered my hair. I'm sure he's probably an expert with coloring, but as for actually CUTTING hair, NO. I showed him a picture of a hairstyle I wanted, something with soft layers, and ended up with something not even close. I told him i wanted to create a little movement, but still keep my length since I wanted to grow my hair out... and i SPECIFICALLY asked him to NOT cut the layers short, and AS im telling him this he's saying, "Oh I would never do that to you".. right as hes chopping off 3-4 inches of my hair!!! How am i supposed to react to that!? Since when do "SOFT" layers start above your ears??? He blatantly lied to my face and totally ruined my hair. I just went in to a different stylist in Studio City the other day and she said it would probably take 6-8 more months for me to grow out what I once had. GREAT.

3 Stars: A happy customer... (by faith3d)

faith3d — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I went to Cesare after reading the good reviews regarding his expertise in color and cut. I wanted someone who would be able to retouch up my highlights and give me a slightly new look. Cesare did just that and more. He gave me new highlights with the most natural blonde color I've seen. I have long straight hair and he gave me a cut that is still simple to style but with a new and hip look :). I recommend Cesare to anyone who wants to ensure they have a stylist who knows what they are doing.

5 Stars: Fantastic Job!!!! (by odeakc)

odeakc — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Recently moved to Pasadena and went to 2 other hair dressers before I found Cesare. And WOW! Great cut and highlights. He added long layers to give me the "umph" I have wanted. The color is great. Very natural looking. Also, fast service at a good price. I have found my new hairdresser!

4 Stars: Great salon! (by Heather W.)

Heather W. — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 14:01:00 GMT

The salon is upbeat, clean, professional, but not snooty, and the price is reasonable (around $50) for the quality of service. I also loved the relaxing scalp and shoulder massage! Jasmine gave me great advice for a cut that best matched my hair type and lifestyle. Her cutting techniques are up-to-date, precise and the cut still looks great after a month's growth. I've had to pay $75 plus tip for the same service in snootier salons around this area.

3 Stars: Hard to find parking (by kayunderscore)

kayunderscore — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Cesare gave me exactly the color I wanted and I was very happy with how my hair looked. I was not happy with the sales pressure, though.

About the location: there is very little parking available in the lot, so you might want to arrive early in case you have to find street parking.

5 Stars: Experienced and knowledgable. (by seraj)

seraj — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Bring your hair to life, take years off your image, keep it clean ... Compliment it with color - Cesare can help you make a statement. When you need to look your best for any special occassion, a makeover can help you accentuate your features. Change the shape of your image with a new stylish cut and color and today's new looks and tomorrow's unforgetable styles.

1 Stars: Decent - not completely worth the price. (by juliacorbin717)

juliacorbin717 — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I really don't know why there are so many raves about this guy... I was quite disappointed. To add to that, he's supposed to call me again after two months.. but I would rather go elsewhere.

Cesare, first upon meeting him, really made me feel a bit uncomfortable. He said I needed to get an oil treatment. Although I agreed to it, I then realized it was because I had not washed my hair that day and it had looked a bit dull. He's a little pushy and also tried to get me to buy his products. When he finished cutting my hair, I wasn't really impressed - at all. My hair cut looked quite different from what I had chosen. Not only that, but he put a lot of layers in my hair and now I've got to wait months before cutting again. Also, the place was a little dingy.. I think a Supercuts is cleaner. When the other girls that worked there left, I felt a bit scared - to be alone in this salon with just Cesare. Although a friendly guy, the first impression you get is.. wow he looks like quasimoto. You would never guess that he cuts women's hair for a living. I'm trying to be as objective as I can... but I had to state the obvious. If you decide to see him, please be warned of my experience.

1 Stars: Cesare is nice, haircut was disappointing (by hellochelles)

hellochelles — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

He had a lot of suggestions, but the haircut didn't come out the way I wanted it. I felt like he didn't really listen to what I wanted and was a little pushy. I feel like I could have gotten the same results at somewhere equivalent to supercuts and the haircut grew out horribly. In addition to this, after I told him that I found the place through citysearch, he asked that I give him a good review and called me a few times to try to schedule a hair treatment that I didn't want and to remind me to write a review for him. I don't think so

5 Stars: very friendly and professional, will listen to what you want (by karamorgan)

I definitely needed some change in my hair color/highlights that were looking drab and shabby after only four weeks. Caesar tried a few new strategies and absolutely gave my hair a lift!! I'm feeling much better now.

1 Stars: I didn't receive good service at all. I was encouraged to buy the cavair shampoo and conditioner for $50 (by munia)

munia — Fri, 04 Aug 2006 02:00:00 GMT

The service was not great. I don't think they are experienced enough. It's more like intimidating customers. I didn't like the products for colors that I bought and they didn't care.

4 Stars: Great haircut! Great guy! (by slibra78)

slibra78 — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I got a great cut from Cesare sometime around February. I had never gotten highlights before, and he knew exactly what shade would look good on me. I got a million compliments the next day at work! He is a great guy- very sociable, good listener, and very intuitive! I also got a deep conditioning treatment which, I would say, worked okay, but not great. The cut and the color were phenomenal though!

5 Stars: The best! (by kmnyla)

kmnyla — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 02:00:00 GMT

For my birthday, my boyfriend surprised me with a "beauty day" --- massage, mani/pedi, facial and hair cut. He found Cesare, called him, talked to him at length about what he needed/wanted for me, etc. He even went so far as to go and meet Cesare in person. Through it all, Cesare was sooo accomodating, even dashing back across town to meet me for a specific appointment time, because we also had dinner and theater plans for the evening. Cesare was soooo welcoming, and friendly, and just everything a great hair stylist should be! Not to mention he gave me a fantastic cut and conditioning treatment... I couldn't have asked for a better birthday surprise!

I turned 40 last year and wanted to look fabulous for my 40th birthday bash. Like many I went online to search for someone in Pasadena. I'm very very picky. Cesare heard me out and did exactly what I asked. I also tried this treament for my hair that was to die for. My hair felt and looked so shiny and like a million bucks. He also cut and colored my hair. The color has remained the same since EVERYONE has complimented me on it. On the day of my birthday he styled my hair and more compliments were received. He has a great personality, works quickly because he knows what he's doing and makes you feel good about yourself. You won't regret the experience.

artarellano — Sun, 19 Mar 2006 01:00:00 GMT

It's rare that you find a person who understands the meaning of discretion, not only is Cesare a stylist to the stars but he knows the importance of keeping what he hears to himself. Cesare's presence and the ambiance of his salon will comfort you.

5 Stars: Goddess Hair (by lindarroz)

lindarroz — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have had my hair done by all the famous hair dressers - Jose Eber, Frederic Fekkai, Christophe, as well as top TV hair stylists. Cesare's skill and "hairside" manners are just as good. I had extensions done for the first time and I am thrilled with my Goddess Hair.
I highly recommend Cesare. When I asked him to finesse my bangs after a recent hair cut, he dropped by my office and trimmed my bangs on the spot!

5 Stars: He did wonders on our hair (by burgerbecky)

My partner wanted fuller longer hair and Cesar gave her hair extensions that were so natural that everyone thought they were natural.

Cesar is amazing! I have naturally curly hair that does whatever it wants. Normally when I go to a new salon, I tell them to do whatever they feel will look good. I give no limitations, yet always walk out with the pretty much the same hairstyle. Not with Cesar! He did wonders with my hair. I totally recommend him!

1 Stars: Terrible! (by zenzenn)

zenzenn — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I was really enthusiastic about getting my hair done with Cesare after reading all of the reviews on this site. I could not have been more disappointed. I got the worst haircut of my life! I haven't been able to style it for weeks. My hair has never been more layered and every stylist that I've gone to to correct the problem says that it just needs to completely grow out. Now I have to walk around for at least another 8 weeks with this hideous cut. In addition, the salon is extremely small and uninviting.

5 Stars: Works with the customer to deliver a great cut! (by blondiej8301)

blondiej8301 — Sat, 04 Mar 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I'd been wanting to cut my long hair into a short, trendier style for awhile, but being new to the area, was nervous about finding a new stylist. After reading Cesare's rave reviews, I decided to give him a try, and I couldn't be happier! He was excellent about working with me to give me a hairstyle I'd not only like, but one that also fit my low-maintenance style. He quickly sized up my face shape and hair type and gave me a cut that is just the right length and style. I've gotten more compliments on this haircut than any other. The atmosphere was great also - he was friendly and informative, and didn't pressure me into doing anything I wasn't comfortable with to my hair. I would highly recommend Cesare and his talents to anyone looking for a great cut and plenty of compliments!

5 Stars: Total Satisfaction! (by angieinla1)

angieinla1 — Mon, 27 Feb 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I heard about Cesare from a good friend. He has been my stylist for almost 3 years now. He's done extensions, color and cuts and I have always been thrilled with his work! I have had extensions done in Las Vegas, Beverly Hills, Nashville - and Cesare is BY FAR the best! I never had a day of trouble with them. Now that I've decided to take them out for a while and go short, he has given me the cutest cuts! I've never has so many compliments from strangers! My hair has always been thin and "stringy" and it's shocking how many people love my natural hair, now that Cesare has taken such great care of it over the last few years. I would recommend him HIGHLY to anyone - but especially to those with specific, out of the ordinary needs. He's great!!

5 Stars: Better than Beverly Hills (by carocate)

carocate — Mon, 27 Feb 2006 01:00:00 GMT

My hair is curly, thin-ish and usually when it is blown dry, it frizzes. Most hair dressers ,who do not know my hair, cannot manage to make my hair not frizz. Cesare styled my hair straight, he did the perfect color, made it look stylish and very hip. He even got it to flip. I have never been able to get anyone to do a flip-do. I have been disappointed time after time and am thrilled with Cesare. Go to see him. You will not be disappointed. Cesare does not double and triple book -- you are his main attention when you're there. He does not waste your time or his.

I moved from Arizona this past year and had to leave my beloved hair dresser behind. Fortunately, I found a new one, Cesare! He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and highly skilled at working with hair. I would recommend his services to anyone seeking a good hair style and colorist.

5 Stars: I love Cesare!! (by jilliana)

jilliana — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Cesare for probably 15 years and he is the best! I would follow him anywhere. For me, he is especially good with color and highlights. I've heard others rave about his work with extensions and straightening also. Not only is he a great stylist, but he's charming, witty, fun, and adorable. I highly recommend him!

Getting my hair done is usually very intimidating but Cesare has proved to be a master. He treated me and my hair like I wanted. My hair is soft and looks great. I have never been complimented so much on my hair so I know I will be going back.

5 Stars: Real gift of nature, Cesare (by marymerizian)

marymerizian — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 01:00:00 GMT

other Nature blessed me with thin, flat and very fine baby hair. Luckily I have found a real gift of nature, Cesare, his talented hands and patient hairstylist. At first I was afraid I wouldnt be able to afford extensions, but after my first FREE consultation with Cesare I felt like I met someone who really cares about us less fortunate and not only money. Because of my financial situation I wasnt able to afford a large investment. Cesare started with only few strands of hair several months ago, and has been slowly working with me. Today I have 75 more strands then what I was born with and my hair finally feels so full and rich.
I am recommending Cesare to everyone because he is a true professional. He loves his work and gives a regular street girl a complete hair make over.

5 Stars: VERY HAPPY CLIENT! (by empress2k)

empress2k — Thu, 22 Dec 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I had gone to the same hair stylist for over 8 years, but recently she was told by the doctor that she had to take some time off due to her allergies. I was heart broken, and it took me six months to gather up my courage and go to someone else. I found Cesare through CitySearch, read all the review and decided to try. I am very happy with the results and I have gone to him twice. First for a cut and the second time for a treatment. He is driven by his clients satisfaction and is very accomodating. I would recomend him anytime.

ljean1068 — Mon, 19 Dec 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I went to Cesare for microline extensions - it was the best thing I ever did. Cesare always makes time for my questions with my new "hair". He is patient and always makes time to see you - even if he comes in on his days off! He is dedicated to his customers - you know that he wants you to look your best. Cesare has extensive training and skill and he instills confidence because he knows what he is talking about. You will not be disappointed when you leave Cesare - he's the best.

Need Hair Extensions? Cesar is the man. This stylist works specifically with your hair type. There are tons of factors that come into play when doing extensions. Cesar is very dedicated and highly knowledgeable about the clients hair. My experience was amazing I have quality hair and it looks absolutely amazing. Go to him and you will be in good hands.

What can I say? I've been going to Cesare for over five years. I refuse to go to anyone else. Worth every penny. Great hours, works around your scheudule. Great if you work late hours. I love my hair and care he gives it. I will never to anyone else. He's great with cut and color. You won't be disappointed. Three of my girlfriends also go to him. I recommend him to everyone I know.

5 Stars: Cesare is a miracle worker (by tlukito)

tlukito — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 01:00:00 GMT

Cesare is the nicest most talented without being conceited and haughty hair stylist. He gave me a full head of hair from practically nothing for my engagement pictures & wedding. He was sincere, sensitive to my needs, made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. He came right on time on my wedding day and created beautiful hairs for my sister, mom and me. My sister was so happy with the very eclectic low updo and my mom said this is the first time that she has not fussed with her hair after it has been styled by a stylist. He was even there to fix our dresses, he has a very elegant touch and has the eyes to make masterpieces. As for me, my husband was speechless when he saw me, it was unforgettable. Thanks Cesare, for your talent, service and most of all for being a wonderful person.

5 Stars: Cesare will make you look and feel stunning! (by romero500)

romero500 — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 01:00:00 GMT

Whether you are looking for a hair style that is sassy or classy, Cesare will give you the right look. He is ultra creative when it comes to color and cut and he will leave you feeling absolutely georgeous. I have been a client of Cesare for about 5 years and every time he does my hair, I get tons of compliments and requests for his business card. I usually take a stack after he finishes my hair because I know people will ask me where I go. He currently sees about 7 or 8 people I know. What I really like about Cesare, besides his enthusiasm to make me look and feel beautiful, is that he always considers my feedback and tries to give me the look I desire while helping me to keep my hair healthy. He knows his stuff and that is why I keep coming back.

5 Stars: Cesare is a force of nature (by missunderstanding)

missunderstanding — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 01:00:00 GMT

Not only is Cesare hugely talented, he's got superb taste--instantly he saw what kind of cut and color I needed, and the results are fantastic. Never again those stylists who have to be begged and cajoled into giving you some approximation of what you'd like. Terrific salon, too--for an hour, you think you're living in a normal city where you would like to be.

I have been going to Cesare since 2001 for haircuts and Alterna Caviar Conditioning Treatements. Cesare also did my hair for my wedding as well as my sister's and mother's hair. He came to my house, and did a beautiful updo. Six weeks prior to the wedding, Cesare gave me a complimentary consultation and trial updo. I received so many compliments on my hair the day of my wedding. I always leave his chair feeling like the most beautiful woman in the world.

Cesare has been coloring and cutting/styling my hair for the last 4 years. He does an amazing job on my color, and I am always happy with the cut. My hair is naturally curly, and I am very particular about how it's cut. Cesare has never let me down, and I have referred all my friends to him.

I got a color and a hair extension from Cesare Safieh at Hotheads hair salon. He did a phenomenal job! the best I ever had. I have been to many hairdressers and stylist here in California and Europe and out of all of them he is a True Picasso. He did a miracle with my hair. I look and feel 20 years younger. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great haristylist and artist.

Cesare has been doing my hair for years and he has kept my hair color and style with the latest fashion, but always looking so natural. Cesare is the kind of a hair dresser that you can sit in his chair, without any ideas what to do with your hair, but yet totally trust him to make your day (and your hair) so that you come out of his sallon looking so refreshed and happy. Simply, he is the best!!!

Lora Johnson has the best eye for personal style and is very communicative of what the client wants. She's a tad pricier, but worth every penny. This is the first time I've dealt with a stylist that really knows how to cut curly hair. She knows what she's doing and doesn't commit to cutting your hair until she can first determine if what you want is something she can deliver.
