About

Aurora founded the salon and has since retired, and her family continued the business. It has operated in old town Monrovia for over 25 years, and the salon states it has served guests for more than three decades.

Walk-ins are welcome alongside appointments. Appointments can be booked online for select hair and skin services, or by text, phone or email; hair color is scheduled by phone, text or email. First-time color clients begin with a HeadMapping consultation. Adult haircuts include a scalp massage, shampoo and conditioner, a blow-dry and style, and an Aveda finishing touch. Corrective color is priced after a consultation, which is booked as its own appointment first.

Services totaling $110 or more require a nonrefundable $100 deposit, applied to the total ticket. Cancellations or changes need at least 48 hours notice during business hours, and late cancellations or no-shows forfeit the deposit. Groups or parties should book at least a month ahead, with a credit card held to secure the date, and give 72 hours notice to cancel. Children are welcome only when they are receiving a service.

Clients who are unhappy with a service can contact guest care within two weeks for a complimentary refinement, usually with the same technician. The salon asks that clients not try to fix a service themselves or visit another salon first. Facial waxing is not recommended for people with certain conditions, and a physician should be consulted before waxing. The retail store sells Aveda products, which can be returned or exchanged within 30 days with a receipt. E-gift cards start at $75 and can be used for services or in-store products, but services and gift cards are not refundable.

The salon describes its mission as offering a restorative, life-enhancing experience. Color work starts with a consultation for first-time clients, and some treatments are planned after one.
