    New hair cut! It's dark so u can't see how fabulous my cut looks but look at the luscious layers!
    Zinnia V.

    Carolina is an absolute doll and a master of her craft!!! She was kind enough to take me in even tho it was past closing. I spam called her lol, thankfully she picked up. She's pretty busy girlie so she's usually booked, it's best if you make appointments. But she was so kind to take me in last minute. Her set up is very clean. I highly recommend anyone to come here for a hair cut or just color in general. She went over everything before she cut anything to make sure I was okay with it before she proceeded, something I really appreciate about her, she's careful and precise. I always stayed away from hair salon bc I always left feeing like they cut too much, cut uneven or don't give me what I wanted. But at Diamond In The Making I truly left feeling like a diamond. Love you girl!!

    My hair went from over grown and unruly to this

    Carolina did an AMAZING job. She's so precise and professional, plus she's FAST! I'm a little awkward and usually have a hard time with salon chair chit chat, but Carolina was so easy to get comfortable with and collaborate on the desired look with. I will be back in April, girl!

    Loved the layers in the back!

    Carolina is a master at the long-layer cut -- she made my hair beautiful again after a year of subpar cuts elsewhere! On top of it all, she is lovely to talk with.

    Okay ladies! 10/10 to service and her level of expertise. If you love my hair book and appointment through YELP. Carolina is truly skilled and she listen to what you want.

    Love my new look!!

    She's amazing great job I love my new hair cut and color . She's so sweet loved my experience there !!! Carolina I will always be coming to you thank you so much

    I was so scared to go to a new hair artist but after seeing Carolina's reviews, I decided to check her out! I am so happy with my results. I mentioned to her that a lot of hair stylists go overboard sometimes with the chopping but she kept my hair at the length i was envisioning! Would definitely recommend. It wasn't hard to talk to her either! She's the type to listen to you and your hair goals!

    this is my second time having my hair cut by Carolina and she is truly my favorite hair stylist ever! i had not gone to a salon for over 2 years and decided to give her a try and i absolutely loved the service I received from her. she was very kind and professional from the start and asked very detailed questions about how I wanted my hair cut which i appreciated as someone who is very picky with hair cuts. the salon is very nice and clean, and i love how comfortable i feel in there. i 100% recommend!! :)

    Cut and color

    First time with Carolina and can confidently say, "I found my girl !" I am super picky with the length of my hair and she was absolutely amazing! She made sure that she only cut off what I was comfortable with. Color turned out amazing! Salon was clean and aesthetically pleasing! 5 stars !

    Who doesn't love a good blowy?! ;)

He answers the phone almost immediately every time I call, always texts to confirm appointments, and somehow manages to make time for me even when his schedule is completely full. This last visit meant more to me than he probably knows. I had just been laid off from my job and had an important interview the next day. I felt overwhelmed and stressed and knew I needed a haircut to feel even a little more confident going into it. Even though Leo was fully booked for days, he offered to see me two and a half hours after his normal closing time. After a long day of work, he still welcomed me with kindness, patience, and warmth and took incredible care of me without ever making me feel rushed or like an inconvenience. When I went to pay at the end of the appointment, Leo stopped me and told me he was taking care of my haircut because of what I was going through. That moment genuinely brought me to tears. In a time when I was feeling really low, his generosity and compassion meant everything to me. Leo is not only an incredibly talented stylist, but a genuinely good human being. Acts of kindness like this are rare and unforgettable. I will always be thankful for him and could not recommend him more highly.

My next appointment with Vanessa was for a "Custom Revamp" to touchup to my face frame/money piece & overall hair growth. I received so many compliments on my hair after.

    I'm so glad I found TT Hair Salon. I'd been wanting to do something different with my virgin hair,…read moreand after deciding on a digital perm, finding the right salon was really important to me. Booking online was super easy. You can choose the service, hairstylist, and see their earliest available appointments. I decided to just go with any available stylist and was booked with Tony. I was hoping for the best, and he gave me exactly the waves I was looking for. The process was about 5 hours, but honestly, I love waking up with effortless beach waves every day, so it was worth it! Several people helped with washing and styling throughout the appointment, and everyone was so kind and welcoming. They even offer snacks and water during the service, which I thought was such a nice touch. The owner, who is also a stylist, was really nice as well. Plus, there's a huge free parking lot, which made the whole experience even more convenient. I'll definitely be recommending TT Hair Salon to all my friends, and to you reading this

    Tldr: Don't get your hair done by TONY…read more I got my digital perm done about a week ago have been debating whether or not to write a review. However, this whole appointment and the end result was too unpleasant for me to ignore. Tony was the one who did my perm and Tony was unprofessional. Please avoid having Tony do your hair. To start, Tony showed up to the appointment 15 minutes late (and his coworker was telling him his 11 o'clock was there) and then seemed very disinterested in trying to get the service started. Then, after briefly glancing at my reference photo and finding his own- Tony told me that my hair needed to go shorter and proceeded to give the most careless haircut ever. Total hack job. During the perm, Tony rolled each hair extremely tight that he even had to pause to massage his hands. The overly tight rolls bruised my scalp and Tony was so careless with placing the spacers between the rollers and scalp that I actually was tearing up because the pain was so unbearable. And even though I mentioned that it hurt Tony lowkey just ignored it?? To top it off- Tony ran out of rollers HALFWAY throughout the process so I had to wait with the crazy tight rollers for around 30 minutes (I am not exaggerating). And Tony's not the one that informed me about it- Tony's nice coworkers were the ones that continued to check in and keep me updated. Also, the whole salon had 3 digital perms going on (including mine) and they kept grabbing the rollers coming off from another client and directly using it on my hair. I don't know if that's normal but I thought every tool was supposed to be disinfected prior to using it on another client. If the digital perm turned out the way I wanted- I would not be so upset but the curls were MUCH MUCH tighter than I asked for. But mostly the experience sucked. And it sucks because I had come here previously for a regular perm and had such a great experience that I trusted the salon for another appointment. I will not be visiting this salon again. (And clearly I am very upset towards TONY for messing up my hair and being totally incompetent throughout the whole appointment. Also, maybe you wouldn't lose YOUR VAPE IN THE BIN OF DIGITAL HAIR ROLLERS if you weren't too busy vaping while doing your client's hair.)

Let's Go was super close by and had great ratings so I sent an inquiry via Yelp. Within a few hours, I had a response and appointment with stylist Judy for the very next day! As far as my trim experience goes - Judy was fantastic! She was ready right on time, super friendly and welcoming, and did a great job on my trim - just as I asked. I would most definitely book Judy again! And there was a beautiful young woman getting an updo in the chair next to me and it was magnificent! I was impressed how gorgeous it was so they definitely do great work here! They have an online appointment portal that seemed easy to use and I'll try it next time - but I was hesitant initially bc the prices seemed quite exorbitant and wanted to be sure I wasn't mistaken so I sent an inquire instead. Turns out, yes, their prices are shocking imo - for just a tiny trim of my hair and bangs (less than an inch off) it was $70!! And that's not including the tip! No shampooing or styling even! So that was quite jarring for me - but the prices seem to pretty standard in this part of Monrovia. Be prepared for sticker shock lol. But to their credit, the shop is in an excellent location, is clean, modern, and chic and the stylists do great work. There are some parking spaces directly out front but it's limited - but the surrounding area is walkable with tons of free public lots. If you do book with Let's Go - I highly recommend Judy!

    This place accepts both walk ins and appointments made by phone (they even can make appointments…read morefor same day). My bf called earlier in the day for a later appointment (4pm). We saw the place many times while shopping at dollar tree in the plaza and thought it might be fast and inexpensive. When we arrived, there was plenty of parking nearby. The place is next to many stores and the front of the stores are pretty transparent with glass windows for walls. There were three staff, all were available and when we walked in they asked if we had an appointment. As he was getting his haircut from one of them, two customers came in, one had a 4pm as well and the other was a walk in and they were both accommodated right away. One had really long hair, they even wash your hair. The other was short just like my bfs hair. My bf asked to cut the top a bit short and at times he would ask a few changes during and the stylist would accommodate . The haircut took roughly 10-15 minutes. Since I wasn't getting a haircut, if you don't want to wait, there are clothing stores, cafes, restaurants and a dollar tree you can go to explore. The haircut was good (in my opinion), it was roughly 25$ which is more than we thought. They had a sheet of prices he showed my bf and that's when we realized we should've asked for pricing before making an appointment rather than assuming. Overall, I thought the place was clean, fast, and accommodating during a Thursday evening (they probably weren't too busy on a weekday which makes sense making an appointment on weekends if they do get busy).
