    Hairdo by Alyssa
    Pratiti M.

    Alyssa did my hair and my bridesmaids's hair on my wedding day and the results were fabulous. I have pretty short (above shoulder) hair length with layers, but Alyssa beautifully worked it up into a lovely updo. It not only looked so perfect, it also held up for the whole day, with all the ocean breeze, running around and hiking near Monastery beach. Every one complimented so much on my hair that day and even today, when they see the photos. I could never imagine, a short hair updo can look so beautiful on me! She is not only very artistic but also a fun person to chat with. It was a treat to work with her!!

    Alyssa does an incredible job on my hair every time I go in. She's extremely affordable for the work that she puts in! She responds to texts and Yelp messages in a timely manner and manages to get me in pretty quickly! Plus, she's really fun to talk with. I've never been so happy with my hair. I recommend her to everyone I know. The picture below is a Balayage ($140) and haircut ($20).

    Alyssa gave me the best set of highlights I have ever gotten!!! It's always hard to move and have to find a new stylist, and I am so glad that I trusted Alyssa with my hair. She was so kind, friendly, and educated about hair. She was also super accommodating (I had to bring my daughter to the appointment.) I will highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.

    Alyssa did a really great job on my hair and was very informative about how I can improve my routine. $35 for trim, $10 extra for wash. 45 minutes all together. It was a little hard to get scheduled with her and I ended up booking about 3 weeks out (she's off Monday's and Friday's). I was originally going to do color but it was $105 for color and cut so I decided to take the less expensive way out. My appointment description wasn't changed in her system so she was confused when I arrived for just cut. She was a little rushed since she had someone scheduled during my what would have been my processing time. Parking was easy and salon was quaint. She's a little over my budget for trims every 6 weeks but I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good stylist. 3 stars for value and ease of getting a timely appointment.

    I love Alyssa!! I have been seeing her for about 3 years now. I love her as a person and a hair stylist. She is very sweet and always makes a point to make sure you leave happy. She always styles my hair before leaving too (for free) because she just loves what she does. CUTS: I started getting bangs in college. While I always loved having bangs, I always dreaded finding a new hairdresser for them (I've had horrible experiences in the past). I found Alyssa through a Groupon and am so thankful that I did. Not only can I trust that she will always cut my bangs (and hair) the way I want it, but she will do it exactly the way I want it every time and with ease. COLOR: I had only ever had my hair highlighted before coming to Alyssa. I took the color plunge with her a few years ago, and I am so glad I did. I started by doing a temporary color of copper lowlights. Then I went permanent copper. Then a darker, bolder red. I have loved every single color. The color looks great and lasts a good while (she recommends products to help hold the color). While I have gone pretty safe with my color, I have seen her post other work on her Facebook page that is awesome (but I'm too afraid to get). You know those great Pinterest and Instagram posts where people have these beautiful pastel unicorn rainbow multi-color hair jobs (or however you would describe them)? Yeah, she can do that :) Since I haven't had my hair colored by other people, I can't compare her. But, I can tell you that she takes the time to really match what you are imagining. She's also sweet enough to walk you through what she is doing if you want to know (so newbies like me can learn while being beautified). Conclusion: Alyssa is sweet, affordable, and good at what she does. I am moving at the end of the month, and I am half tempted to make special trips down to continue to see Alyssa (~4 hour drive).

    My kids played in the playroom and had a great time!

    Wonderful service!! My kids played in the playroom the whole time and enjoyed themselves, while I got a haircut I love!

    Easy going do, plus it stayed up all day/night long.

    This review is from my wife... This is long overdue but I wanted to say how happy I was with my experience with Alyssa. Going off only other Yelp reviews, I left messages for several salons. She was the only one out of 5 hair salons / hair stylists I contacted that not only called me back to discuss making an appointment, but she also called me back promptly within the same day after I left her a message. A definite A+ for professionalism. Alyssa was so friendly as well that time just flew by while she was doing my hair. The hair turned out awesome. I didn't have an exact hairdo I wanted to copy but I explained that I wanted an updo with loose curls and it had to last the day with possible windy conditions because it was an outdoor wedding. I allowed her creative freedom and I think she accomplished exactly what I was looking for. The hair lasted up until the late evening and did not feel heavy with too much product in it. I would definitely go back to her if I ever attend another wedding in Monterey. Thanks so much Alyssa!!!

    I got my hair done by the lovely Sami! She has the sweetest personality and easy to talk to! I came…read morein to get my dead ends cut and get more layers in the front which she SLAAAYED!! Please come and get your hair done by her she will take care of you!

    An Ode to Sammi Mount: The Artisan of Hair and Heart…read more In a world filled with stylists and salons, there are a rare few whose craft transcends aesthetics and becomes something deeply personal, transformative, even sacred. Sammi Mount is one such artist. To call her a hairdresser would be to simplify what she truly offers. She is a master colorist, a precision cutter, a visionary stylist, and most of all, a soul who pours her whole heart into every client she touches. I have entrusted my hair to elite stylists in Paris, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, global capitals of beauty and fashion. And yet none have come close to Sammi's level of artistry and care. I now travel and fly just to see her because once you have experienced her work, anything else feels like a compromise. She is without question the best I have ever had. Her color is otherworldly. Sammi does not just apply color, she understands light, tone, texture, and identity. Each highlight, lowlight, and blend is placed with intention, as though she is painting a living, breathing canvas. Her haircuts are sculptural yet effortless, tailored not only to your face but to your movement, your energy, your life. But what sets Sammi apart even beyond her technical brilliance is the soul she brings into her space. Her presence is grounding. Her kindness is palpable. Every appointment feels like a safe haven, a time not only to feel beautiful but to be heard. The conversations you have in her chair are as nourishing as the transformation itself. She listens with real curiosity, speaks with honesty and warmth, and somehow always knows just what you need, whether it is a bold new look or a quiet reset. As much as I would love to keep her a secret, to guard her name like a hidden gem only the lucky few know about, Sammi deserves to be celebrated. She is the best at what she does. She is meticulous, intuitive, soulful, and generous beyond words. Sammi Mount is not just a stylist. She is an experience. A ritual. A rare kind of artist whose work lingers far beyond the mirror and deep into the heart.
