    I've been going to Kat at Em Hair Studio for about a year, and she's amazing! She keeps my hair looking fresh with regular trims and keeps my hair toned that I love. Em Hair Studio has such a welcoming vibe, and I always look forward to my visits. Highly recommend Kat if you're looking for a stylist who truly cares and delivers every time!

    Love my hair!

    I decided to try a new salon instead of going to my usual salon. I came here on a whim in desperate need to cover up the abundance of gray hairs on my head. I also needed a haircut to get rid of my lifeless, bleach-damaged hair. My appointment was with Kat and she was just the sweetest! I felt that she really listened to what I wanted from my visit and she delivered exactly that! She answered my questions, gave me her professional advice, and overall was just a pleasure to talk to. My entire appointment was 3 hours long but it didn't feel like it. I am going to be breaking up with my previous hair stylist because I am going to Kat from now on! I am LOVING everything about my hair! Definitely recommend this salon and Kat as a hairstylist!

    My hair styled!

    Kat is super nice and made my hair turn out really good. I would definitely come again. I asked for a balayage mushroom brown shade and got just that. Thank you!-Layla

    I got my hair done by Susan & man oh man!!! she is a hair goddess!! I went in for a consultation, not sure what I wanted but wanted a new look and most importantly I wanted to look pretty. She gave me the hair of my dreams. She was honest. She is so skilled. And I love that she is also a big cheerleader. I love that she wanted me to feel my best and it was her priority too. Man it's so hard to find good hair dressers who loves what they do and they're good at it too. I am truly so satisfied with my hair and color. So happy beyond words.

    Always a great experience here. I've been getting my hair done with Keke Marito and she's just amazing. Her dimensional color technique is gorgeous. She's patient and detailed oriented. I also get my hair cut from here every few month to keep it fresh and light. I also appreciate how well they communicate with me and the ease of the appointment making (rescheduling and making new ones is a total a breeze). Parking is super easy in the back of the salon. Lots of snacks for the clients, coffee and the occasional booze is always a pleasant surprise.

    Yvonne washed, blow dried, and styled my hair for a wedding I had to attend. She was very professional, attentive to detail & I never felt rushed throughout the process! She works with you from start to finish to create an individualized plan that works best for your looks and preference! The place was clean. She is very laid back and doesn't force any awkward conversations. I will recommend her to all friends and family and will be coming back to get my hair cut and colored!

    I came here for a haircut with Yvonne! I'm very picky and feel insecure when I try to describe what I like but Yvonne was very nice and made me feel comfortable with describing what I liked even though I didn't have the right words to use. She really wants to work with you to make sure you leave loving your haircut! With that said, I left loving my haircut and felt heard as a client. And As for the salon, it was very clean! Area is also nice and not very crowded.

    Kat was absolutely AMAZING. I was not the easiest client to work on, given that my hair was a mess and needed so much color correction to get my achieved results. Kat blew my expectations out of the water. She was so thoughtful (asked me very detailed questions around what I was envisioning), and was extremely meticulous with her work. I can't tell you how happy I am with my results and how thankful I am for Kat. It was so hard to believe that she hasn't been doing this for years and years; she has a wealth of knowledge under her belt and she has earned my trust completely. Thank you so much for restoring my confidence and for being such a lovely person to work with. I can't wait to visit her again

    How much for women haircut?

    I am a brunette with currently a golden/dark blonde bayalage. I am looking to get it lifted and toned. Who would be a good person to schedule this with? This would be my first time at the salon? Also is there any range of pricing listed somewhere?

    I would suggest that you consult with Destiny at Averlinc. She's a very talented colorist!

The Experience: The level of hospitality is wonderful and I had a fabulous salon experience. Working with Alex and his assistant was a fun. They took a look at my hair and asked me questions of what I wanted and gave me suggestions. The Color: They suggested a subtle root cover-up, great decision. The color blended seamlessly throughout my hair, giving it so much dimension. There were no ammonia smells or anything irritating like box dye. The Precision Cut: Alex's attention to detail regarding my hair texture was on point. He knew exactly how to shape it to complement the blended color. My hair feels lighter and has so much movement. The Shampoo: Hair wash was heavenly, super relaxing melting my stress away. It set the tone for the rest of the service. The Results I walked out feeling like a new person. I had so many compliments on my hair! It was the confidence booster I didn't expect. If you are looking for a stylist who genuinely cares about the integrity of your hair and delivers great results, go see Alex. Looking forward to my next visit. Great service, expert technique, and a stunning, youthful result. Definitely recommended!

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.

Definitely recommend this place -- one small thing: you may have to wait a while, even with appointment.

    So many red flags…read more If you have fine virgin hair, I strongly recommend avoiding a digital perm at this salon. My hair was past my waistline when I arrived. The stylist insisted it was far too long and said a significant cut was necessary. I trusted her professional judgment, expecting a healthy trim, but nearly half my hair was cut off. The haircut itself felt rushed and uneven, seemingly done to accommodate the perm rather than with care for overall shape or length. Midway through my appointment, a previous client returned visibly upset, saying her hair did not look permed. While I didn't hear every detail, it immediately raised concerns, concerns that ultimately became my own. Throughout the service, my stylist repeatedly emphasized that my hair was "too fine," that there weren't enough curlers for my hair, and that more hair needed to be cut. If she believed a digital perm would not work on my hair type, she should have been honest from the start and declined the service. The end result: my hair feels fried, is significantly shorter than expected, and shows no real signs of a perm. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this salon. Additional notes: * The smell of cigarettes from the staff smoking heavily fills the salon. I left with a headache, and the combination of cigarette smoke and perm chemicals was overwhelming. * Stylists spoke aggressively in another language, appearing to argue about my service, which felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. * If you discovered this salon through TikTok and were impressed by how attentive they appeared (offering water, snacks, etc.), be aware that this level of service is not consistent. Unless you appear to be a social media personality. Paying over $400 plus tip for this experience was deeply disappointing.

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!

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).

He's easy to communicate with and makes scheduling appointments a breeze. Whether I need a quick trim or a total transformation, Steven is always professional, thoughtful, and consistent. Highly recommend Steven to everyone looking for a hairstylist who combines talent, experience, and genuine care. I'm tempted to gate-keep him because I don't want to have to fight for an appointment with him!

    I found Steven from Dlhope VR Salon from his Instagram. I was looking for a stylist that could do a…read moreroot perm and Steven does, plus: * Shows a range in color * Customizes for my texture * Exchanges ideas for fresh styles, products, tools * Great at men's hairstyles from the clientele I see After my first consultation I got a brighter color and cut that I didn't need the root perm. They are very detailed with coloring, using multiple capes, ear guards, towels, cleaning and changing out everything. Even with a busy salon and Steven at two locations, he responds quickly. Since then, I have taken more chances in color and lengths. I'm super happy with the results and a bonus are the compliments I get, thanks Steven and Dlhope VR Hair Salon!
