Damien Baccaro Hair Studio

Damien is an excellent hair stylist. He has been cutting my hair for over 2 years and I’m always happy with his services. He is professional, punctual, friendly, and very accommodating. The salon is in a good location and clean. Damien goes out of his way to make sure his clients needs are met. Give Damien a call… he is the best.

I have been going to Damien exclusively for my cut and color for about 13 years. I am extremely picky about my shade of red and this man is the only hairdresser that has been able to get it right 100% of the time. Damien’s talent and skills are unsurpassed. He has an impeccable attention to detail. He listens to what you want but isn’t afraid to hint that maybe that «interesting» haircut you saw in a magazine might not exactly suit you. He has saved me from making a bad hair mistake more than once when I was feeling particularly adventurous with my do — not to mention all the times that he has fixed my at-​home attempts to color my own hair. I really enjoy and look forward to my hair appointments with Damen. And … it doesn’t hurt that he is easy on the eyes too. *wink, wink*

I had a great experience at this hair studio, Damien is excellent. I came here after I bought a Unilocal deal and made an appointment for the Keratin hair treatment, I had these type of treatments before at a friend’s salon but sadly he move away and I was afraid of looking for someone new but I’m so glad that I found Damien; no hair pulling or discomfort while he applied the treatment and I’m so happy with the results; pricing is extremely conscious and I’ll be returning in 3 – 4 months for my next one. Thank you Damien for making this experience easy; my daughter who accompanied me to my appointment had a hair cut and style by someone else at the salon and she is so happy with her cut; they had a 50% off that day for new customers. Damien is such a wonderful guy, don’t think twice see Damien soon!

Damien is great! I just moved to Pasadena and was terrified to try a new hair stylist. I found him through Unilocal and decided to go with a new look– bangs! The cut is awesome, and Damien was great to talk to while he was working. I would definitely recommend!

The Keratin hair straightening treatment Damien gave me absolutely is amazing! This is my third treatment and it’s worth every dollar. I have very fine hair that is colored and highlighted and frizzy. My hair lays so nicely and is so mirror-​like sparkling after Damien used the keratin heat treatment, and it lasts for at least 4 months. this is «the» treatment for me. Damien is a master colorist as well. and he knows hair very well. I highly recommend Damien!

Damien did a great job giving me the perfect ombré hair I was looking for. I showed him some pictures and he gave me exactly what I asked for! I could not have asked for a better experience. He is super reasonably priced and well worth every penny! I would recommend him to anyone!

Both my wife and I have been coming to Damien for a while now. Cut is great, price is reasonable. Even for guys!

Damien does incredible work! He really listens to what you want and then delivers. I’ve never had a hair stylist take his work so personally; he wouldn’t dream of giving you anything but his best work. He does great cuts, but his specialty is color. Two of my girlfriends see him for their color and its so natural you would never guess it was a dye job! As for me, I like it more on the funky side and he does really fun creative color as well! (I went dark with some incredible fuchsia tips). More than that, he’s not going to push products on you that you don’t need, or services that he doesn’t believe in. However, if you feel like treating yourself, do a deep condition and a shine treatment, it will leave your hair looking spectacular!
If I haven’t sold him to you already, there’s another bonus: What a cutie! It never hurts having a handsome man helping you look your best!

I was trying to do the math as to how long I have been going to Damien for color and cuts. It’s been about 10 years! And to this day I have not strayed. In the last 10 years the only colorist I let touch my hair is Damien. Now don’t get me wrong, I have attempted on various occasions to color my own hair, mostly for the «cheap» aspect. Inevitably, though, I have always gone back to Damien to «get it right».
I have recommended him to every one of my family members, friends and now I’m telling all of you! The one thing that everyone should spoil themselves with is the opportunity for beautiful, colorful, badass hair. Damien is the only colorist I know that can accomplish ALL of those.
Don’t think… just DO!

Damien is incredible. Yes I would say a rock star. I am picky regarding my hair.
Damien, makes changes to the style that never worry me. He also knows to keep my hair age appropriate. Damien has straighten my big beach hair and done low lights with no bleach. And the best is. Damien is a really real, honest and nice guy.
If your a guy who does not want to look like a euro clone, Damien is the guy for you.

I don’t know why there aren’t hundreds and hundreds of five-​star reviews for Damien. I think it must be because he’s so good his clients don’t want to share him with the world, but I’m just not that selfish.
Damien is absolutely incredible at what he does and my hair looks AMAZING. I mean amazing. I have never, ever been happier with a ‘do in my life. Damien did a color correction (which is no easy task — I’ve had my hair seriously jacked up by less experienced colorists more than once) that not only solved my color problem but made me look absolutely stunning — at least from a hair perspective.
More than that (as if you needed more) he’s just a really nice, personable, interesting guy. You know how sitting in a chair having something «done» for two-​plus hours by a total stranger can feel slightly awkward? Or more than slightly awkward? Not with Damien. We chatted happily (he’s been all over and tells great stories) and just as happily didn’t chat (when he was concentrating and I was reading). All in all, not only do I look great, I had one of the most pleasant salon experiences I’ve ever had in my life.
Go see him. Seriously. Like, now.

There’s nothing more, that gives me anxiety than having to find a new hair stylist! After moving back to LA from Vegas, I was seriously considering flying back to Vegas to get my hair cut and colored by my normal girl… until I crossed paths with Damien! The first thing I noticed when I sat in his chair is a sign that said Board Certified Colorist. What?! I never knew that existed and my anxiety level started to go down. I showed Damien some pictures of how I wanted my hair cut and colored, and he more than delivered. I have long, dark, layered hair, and although it was just maintenance, everything looked perfect! He gained my trust and since then I’ve tried short bangs, grown them out, summer ombré, dyed my hair almost black, gradually lightened it again to a beautiful brown with honey highlights. Right now the color looks natural and sun kissed and the layers blend perfectly curled or straight. I’ve noticed through the years that some hair stylist cut well, while others are better colorist, Damien can definitely do both! I’ve had hair bliss ever since.

Damien is a hidden jewel in the city of Pasadena. I have been a client of his for 11 years. His work is outstanding. His hair colorings, Ombres and Scalp massages are amazing. He is also ultra gentle with my hair.

I love Damien! Very patient and willing to give tips on how to keep your hair maintained and pretty. I don’t know how to curl my hair, so he gave great suggestions. I loved how he highlighted, styled, curled my hair. The style lasted days… I didn’t want to wash it for like 3 days because the curls stayed soft and never came out. I dont know how to do that with my hair. it’s so fine, usually it comes out at the end of the day. He’s great!

Damien is the best! Sweet, patient, stylish, and not hard on the eyes. He’s taken me through a number of looks from really short to longer and blond to red and back again. He has been my hairdresser for over 8 years and I wouldn’t think of going to anybody else.

I have been following Damien to each and every salon he has worked for the past 11 years. It is really hard to find a good stylist that will pay attention to what you want. Damien does just this! There are times where I feel free spirited and tell him to do what he wants to make me look good and I have never been disappointed. He is a true creative stylist with a knack for knowing just how to make you look your best. Visit Damien and you too will find just how good you can look.

I love how I look like me when Damien’s done, only better.
He cuts my hair to flatter the shape of my face, whether it’s short for Summer or longer for Winter. And it’s a lovely place he’s at, with a nice vibe.

I’ve been flying from NYC once every six weeks to have Damien color and cut my hair for almost 10 years now. Damien’s not only gifted when it comes to color he is constantly improving his skills by attending color and cutting classes. He listens and keeps your needs as a client in mind as he makes his recommendations and he’ll bend over backwards to accommodate your schedule. A true professional who values his clients… You won’t regret it.

Damien was recommended to me by one of my (young, female) cousins. I usually cheap out on my haircuts (or skip them all together), but since I’m getting married I thought I’d step it up a bit (and even so, Damien was actually pretty affordable).
As a man, looking for a man haircut, I was a bit put off by Damien’s focus on coloring on his website. However, this concern was unwarranted. I love my haircut. I haven’t had a haircut that looked this good in a long time. It is a manly haircut.
When I got there, I gave him some basic guidelines and then just told him to «make me look cool.» He did a great job, and I have to say that I loved that he was able to provide direction. In the past, I’ve felt like other stylists wanted me to tell them how I wanted each strand of hair to look, but this is really frustrating to me – if I knew how to make hair look good, I’d do it myself! Damien took my vague guidelines and turned them into something good.
A couple other notes:
1) Damien has lots of interesting stuff to talk about like running in the hills and riding his motorcycle to Alaska.
2) He gave me an espresso to drink while I got my cut. I felt very fancy.
3) Honestly, this is a great ‘do. I didn’t even know I could look this good.
update: Damien, let me come in for a free styling the day of my wedding.
