Sago Palm?
 

I live in So. Cali. and my 2 sagos are turning yellow, is this normal or
something going wrong with my palms?

All of the fronds? Can you further characterize how they're yellowing?

Cycas revoluta is NOT a palm. In S CA they are heavy Mn feeders. If
the "fronds" are completely yellow it is likely an over or under
watering problem.

not all of them, about 25% of them, the yellowing is blotchy , kinda looks like
someone spray painted different areas

I'd go for under watered, I live in the U.K., known as a green and pleasant land
Our sago's had suffered this year due to lack of rain until I set up a trickle system with an old hose pipe punctured in the right places, new growth now nice and green

Examine closely for scale.... one suggestion.

Epsom salt is Mn magnesium sulphate, Cycas revoluta more often need Mn
manganese.
