Description
Drift Salon's Pasadena location is unique in that it's home to independent hairstylists. What this means is that instead of a traditional salon structure where stylists are employees, each professional working at this location operates as their own boss. They have their own business within the salon space.

Had an amazing haircut last week with Nikki. She took her time to listen to my entire hair story and we looked at inspo pictures together. I came in with shapeless one length hair and was feeling pretty down about myself. Her haircut transformed me and I love it. It now looks healthier and has great movement and I feel like I look 10 years younger. She gave me cute curtain bangs like I wanted but kept them longer so I can still tuck them behind my ears and put my hair up. My hair is still long but has great dimension now and doesn’t feel thinner and I have thin hair. Highly recommend this salon and Nikki.

Bridget is AMAZING ! 🤩 I can't say enough good things about her and the salon. As soon as I walked in Bridget was knowledgeable and set great expectations to ensure she would be able to deliver what I was looking for. She was so sweet and welcoming I can't wait to come back and see her again. The salon was super cute and cozy and everyone was very nice. Thanks so much Bridget !

I just moved to the area and made an appointment with Madalyn. She was recommended by a friend. Madalyn did an excellent job with my color and cut. She took her time to understand my hair and want I wanted. It came out perfect!! The shop was really cute too!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Nicole Suarez at Drift Salon! For years, I’ve been trying to achieve the perfect short, stylish bob, but I was never fully satisfied — until I sat in Nicole’s chair. She absolutely nailed it and I got to debut the bob on national TV! Nicole’s attention to detail, precision, and understanding of what I wanted were unmatched. She took the time to listen, offer her expert advice, and executed the cut flawlessly. I walked out of the salon feeling more confident than I have in years. The entire experience was wonderful, from the warm and welcoming vibe at Drift Salon to Nicole’s professionalism and skill. If you’re looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers exceptional results, Nicole is the one! Thank you, Nic, for finally giving me the haircut of my dreams! 🩷🤗🍒⚡️✨

Kailey is absolutely phenomenal, and I can't recommend her enough! After trying out more than three hairdressers since moving to FL nearly two years ago, she was the first to truly get my hair just right. Her salon is adorable, and the head massage she includes is such a relaxing bonus. Definitely 5/5 stars!

Nikki is the best! I have curly, wavy hair and she knows how to cut it to keep it under control and healthy. She's gifted with scissors and styling! She's be my hair queen for mamy years now and I can't imagine going to anyone else.

Nikki was incredibly helpful in creating a fresh new look for my hair! She took the time to educate me throughout the process, which really built my trust in her expertise. I’m thrilled with my new style and will definitely be returning for future visits! :)

Erika is the BEST!!! She has such incredible knowledge and skill and is the absolute sweetest!! I love how she does my blonde every time - I would highly recommend her to anyone!!

I absolutely love having Nikki as my stylist. I’ve been going to her for years and each time she leaves me feeling fabulous. She takes the time to review what my hair needs and what would look good. Highly recommend if you need someone who cares about hair health and making you look fabulous.

Nikki has been my go to stylist for over a decade. I don't trust anyone else with my hair. She understands my curls and texture and makes sure that my cut is versatile so that I can wear my hair curly or blow it out. She provides solid advice and thoroughly listens and consults with me if I'm considering a change. In all of my years as her client, I have always been ecstatic with my results. The best was when someone commented immediately after leaving her chair, "she looks like an actress; look at her hair!" I owe it all to Nikki!

Nikki has been my stylist for 15 years- she is a rockstar. Nikki is so knowledgeable on color and I always feel refreshed and my best self after seeing her!

Nikki is THE BEST! She is amazing at cutting and styling short and long hair. From a short bob to long hair, Nikki has always given me a great style! She is also amazing with color/highlights! There isn’t a stylist that I trust more than Nikki. 10/10 recommend her for cut and color/highlights!

Eliza B. is a very thorough and experience luxury stylist. I love how she engaged she is and spends the time to understand my inspo and ideas first before cutting and/or styling my hair. She talks through what is going to work and may not which I appreciate her upfront and honest approach so that all expectations are set before she even begins. Aside from always leaving my hair flawless, she is always personable and overall makes the experience enjoyable.

Eliza is the best stylist! Not only is she knowledgeable and experienced, she is a magician when it comes to blonding. She takes time to listen to my vision and offers expert advice. I have made road trips to sit in her chair!

Erika is simply the BEST!! Super talented and thorough, so easy to talk to, and her work is just amazing! I am so fortunate to of found her and Drift Salon after relocating to Florida. 🌞

Erika is the best !!!! Not just extremely talented but as sweet as can be. She did my hair extensions for years and I’ve been to a few other hairdressers before. But no one has ever done them as perfectly as her!

Erika is the best!!! She does such a beautiful blonde. I could not recommend her enough. She is so kind and has such a vision with hair. Love her🩷

I cannot say enough good things about Erika at Drift Salon. Not only does she do an amazing job she also just has a lovely sunshine energy. I only get my hair done twice a year and every time I travel all the way across town to see her it feels like a vacation. Everyone in the salon also has great energy!

I hadn't had a haircut in over two years, and I am so happy to have found Nikki! She not only gave me an amazing haircut that exceeded my expectations, but she also took the time to teach me how to style my wavy hair. I never knew how to properly manage my waves until Nikki showed me, and now I feel so much more confident. I'm thrilled to have found such a talented hairdresser locally here in St. Pete. I'll definitely be returning to keep my hair looking fabulous!

I moved to St. Pete a year ago and I am very picky when it comes to who I trust with my hair - Erika is the BEST of the best!!!!! My hair has never looked better or has been healthier- I was finally able to go extension free due to the level of care she puts into every single appointment! The salon is so cozy and welcoming, couldn’t recommend more!! Every blondes dream salon🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I recently had my hair highlighted along with a root touch up and I couldn't be happier with the results! The color is vibrant yet natural, I love the depth and dimension it adds to my hair. Erika has a genuine enthusiasm for her craft, and she always takes the time to understand my vision. I HIGHLY recommend Erika she always does an amazing job and has the sweetest disposition.

Im sad to say that I will no longer be supporting this salon. They charged me cancellation fee because I had to travel outside the country for my grandpas funeral. The cost isn’t the issue, it’s the principle. Delaney was great and I wish her the best but kailey, the salon owner, needs to reevaluate her priorities and maybe take a customer service course.
Sep 05, 2024
I’m a long term relationship type of person with my hairstylist - after moving I’ve waited far too long to find the right stylist. Erika was fantastic- truly talented in her art. Very thankful!! The Salon was very clean and a great overall brand and atmosphere the owner has created!
Sep 05, 2024
LOVE the color! Nikki did an absolutely fantastic job, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made it happen perfectly. I’ll definitely be coming back and will update with photos soon. Highly recommend!

Nikki did such a great job with my hair! Absolutely love going to her.

Nikki has been cutting my hair for past 4 years. Shes an amazing hairdresser providing me the exact look i’ve asked for. Not only that she helps you feel comfortable in her chair, she is so easy to talk to. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a new hairdresser in the DMV.

Nikki has been cutting my hair for years, and I love what she does every single time. My hair is super thick, and she always makes it look amazing. She is so skilled and a true artist.
Sep 05, 2024
Nikki is THE best at her craft! She has been stylin’ me for 10+ years and continually amazes me with her talent in color and cuts. THE SWEETEST gal on the planet is a plus too!! 🤩
Sep 05, 2024
Nikki is by far the best stylist I’ve ever seen! She takes her time and always ensures you leave with a perfect cut and blowout! I am so happy I found someone consistent. Highly recommend!! Love her.

Nikki is great, I have had 4 hairstylist abandon me since moving to St Pete in 2017… they have all moved or stopped working, I love a razor/shag cut with layers and movement without it being super trendy appearing, found Nikki on Instagram and she’s great, listens to you, asks your preferences, and overall does great work… all with her sidekick pup who’s the sweetest, even went back to get some highlights placed that came out wonderful (after being almost 3 years w/o color), very low maintenance and exactly what I was looking for.
Sep 05, 2024
Nikki is on point! I’ve been seeing Nikki since another stylist royally messed up my hair after the birth of my son over 10 years ago. At the time my hair was an angled bob and she killed it every time. It was so precise and I’ve never gotten so many compliments. Recently she’s styled it for me while I grew out the length. I couldn’t recommend her enough and have referred so many friends. If you’re looking for color, she’s also a genius!
Sep 05, 2024
No words. She is simply the BEST in town!🙌🫶 can’t wait to see her soon again.
Sep 05, 2024
Not only is Erika incredible at her craft, but she is a GEM of a human. I was looking for a new hair stylist in St Pete who specializes in blondes and my friend recommended Erika and I'm sooooo glad she did....my hair is always on point, natural but bright, perfectly cut. She is simply the best and her positive energy is so contagious, I could sit in the chair all day.

Tasha does an amazing job with my hair! I came here with very grown in roots and overgrown layers of blonde and she was able to get it back to icy blonde in ONE visit (and the cheapest out of different quotes I got in the area). Been going to her ever since every 5-6 weeks and always leave feeling my best! Highlyyyy recommend for my blonde girlies.
Sep 05, 2024
Tasha is a master of her craft, my hair always looks amazing as I leave the salon, super friendly and attentive Thank you x
Sep 05, 2024
Tasha was amazing, her hands are just Magic ✨ Definitely coming back. She’s the best.
Sep 05, 2024
Thank you, Erika! Erika made all my hair dreams come true. You’ll get up from her chair not only looking better, but feeling like you just made a new best friend! 10 stars!
