ABOUT ONYX ON MADISON
Onyx on Madison is a modern, full-service hair salon located in the heart of Pasadena’s vibrant Playhouse Village.
Created as both a creative studio and a place of retreat, Onyx offers an elevated salon experience rooted in artistry, intention, and care.
​
​Founded in 2021 by industry veterans Chaie de Jesus and Daniel Mora, Onyx was built with a clear vision: to bring together highly skilled stylists in an environment that prioritizes exceptional results and a genuinely thoughtful client experience. Every detail - from the team to the atmosphere - has been carefully curated to feel refined, welcoming, and effortlessly luxurious.
​
We specialize in custom color, blonding, balayage, precision cutting, extensions, and textured hair. Our approach is highly personalized; we take the time to understand each client’s lifestyle, preferences, and long-term hair goals to create results that feel both elevated and wearable.
​
At Onyx, we believe great hair is a collaboration—and that the experience should feel just as good as the outcome.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to deliver exceptional, personalized hair services in an environment that feels elevated, welcoming, and intentionally designed around each client’s experience.
We are committed to cultivating a team of artists who are not only highly skilled, but continuously evolving—ensuring that every guest receives work that reflects both current techniques and timeless standards of quality.
WHAT MAKES US
DIFFERENT
✦ We Stay Studying
We believe great work comes from dedication and refinement. Our team prioritizes ongoing education, regularly investing in advanced training. Trends evolve, techniques improve, and we believe it’s our responsibility to keep up. Continuing education isn’t optional here—it’s part of the culture.
✦ We Don’t Rush Good Hair
Your appointment is your time. We prioritize thoughtful consultations and precision over speed, so your results feel considered, not rushed.
✦ Inclusive by Design
As an LGBTQ+-, Latino-, and Asian-owned business, we are intentional about creating a space that feels welcoming, respectful, and comfortable for people of all identities, backgrounds, and hair types.
✦ We Personalize the Experience
No two clients are the same. We approach every service with intention, tailoring our work to each individual’s hair, lifestyle, and goals.
✦ The Vibe Matters
Luxury doesn’t have to feel intimidating. We’ve created a space that is polished and design-forward, while still feeling warm, inclusive, and comfortable.
✦ Consistency & Integrity
From consultation to final result, we hold ourselves to a high standard. Every stylist brings a strong point of view, advanced training, and a commitment to doing consistently high-level work that is thoughtful and honest every time.
