Monique is absolutely the best! Always so positive and talkative. Her vibe is the absolute best! I always enjoy coming to her knowing my hair is going to be taking care of! read more

Monique is so great at what she does! You can tell she loves her job and is so amazing at it. With so many years of experience you can trust you are in great hands with her. She makes you feel comfortable and explains the process very well so you know what you are getting into. I enjoyed my time with her so much. My hair was NOT an easy task (extremely long and thick and had previous red tint in it) but she took on the challenge and after 5 hours of a lot of hard work she gave me exactly what I was looking for. 10 out of 10 recommend going to Monique if you want someone who will take there time to make sure it's done right! I am so happy I went to House or ManeAlchemist for my balayage! read more

ManeAlchemist - Balayage - Hair Extensions Near Me

So incredibly happy with my hair! I came to Monique with years of BLACK dye on black dye, it was semi-healthy hair but I was nervous to tackle it on my own with so much black applied over time. I wanted it to be blue and I figured I was way in over my head. I went in assuming I would have to receive multiple sessions, but quickly found out that Monique is a hair color wizard! We lightened my hair and she included Olaplex. I had never used that before and she was so informative of why it was important to add it to the lightener. Apparently it protects the hair while its lightening and fills in gaps caused by color damage. I've heard of it before, and I heard it normally costs extra, but Monique added it complementary because my service was over $120. I'm not sure if that's a permanent special but she said she offers it to everyone who has services over that amount. She did a test strip which was appreciated. No stylist has ever taken the time to do that before. It's always made me wonder how they knew my hair would lift. My hair lifted with bands of different color. I appreciated that she explained what she was seeing from the test strip. She gave me a game plan and was so detailed about what she thought we should do. She used different lighteners on different color bands, something I've never had done before. They usually just slap on one type of bleach. I could tell Monique knew what she was doing. She lifted my hair to an EVEN and NON-BRASSY medium blonde. I couldn't believe it, it wasn't orange!!! After that she applied different types of rich beautiful blue tones. I left that day with long, happy, HEALTHY BLUE hair! I'm so in love, will never go else where!! Monique is my colorist for life! Thanks so much!!! read more

So this review is long over due But hands down this girl deserves full credit of these five stars And for me to say this, its a very big deal I love having my hair long but I love the crazy colors too But I have had some bad experiences with salon ladies man they get scissor happy and chop my hair off when I specifically ask for a trim yup story of my life But not anymore after years of dealing with my trauma and staying away from salons I decided to give this girl a try and man she is very understanding listens to what exactly you want .. And does her best to bring your idea to life Oh one more thing on my first visit she actually asked me for a brief background of my hair never have I had that questioned to me before ...that was a total plus for me .. I also have a crazy work schedule but she is very flexible and does her best to make it work .. But most of all I can say the best part about her is this is not just her career this is her passion and you can notice that in the few hours your hair spends with her Well to wrap up my review girls if your looking for a real professional don't look any further Monique will take care of you .. read more

I loved my first experience with Regina, Nikki, and Monique! Regina is so awesome. She had amazing customer service and was extremely helpful. I love that we have the option to text. It makes is so much easier to communicate. I went in for a free consultation. It is difficult to find a place that you can have extensions, cut and color done all in the same place. However, thankfully enough this is a one stop shop...the best of both worlds-hair extensions and cut/color. When I arrived for my appointment a couple weeks later, I was greeted with a very welcoming smile from Monique. She's extremely knowledgeable and professional. I immediately felt confident in her work. I appreciate that Monique took the time to go over pricing with me, prior to starting my hair. I LOVE the result!!!! She did such an amazing job. I can't get over how much I love my hair. Monique is so good at what she does. Right after my color appointment I excitedly sat in Nikki's chair. Nikki is nothing short of amazing!!!!! I love her technique. This is the best hair extensions experience I have ever had! Nikki loves what she does, and it is very apparent. I was SO happy with the result. The color and extensions mixed beautifully. It looks completely natural. I am in love with my hair! What an awesome experience all the way around, from booking my consultation and first appointment to the result! I enjoyed my time at the salon, and I look forward to future appointments. Thank you, Regina, Monique and Nikki. read more

Monique did such a great job with my hair! When I walked in my hair looked like a birds nest, completely DESTROYED and madly damaged. I wanted to keep my length though since my hair was so damaged I thought she'd have to cut like 3 inches. LUCKILY she's a hair wizard and didn't cut much except for my split ends. There was hardly ANY hair on the floor:) She gave me great advice and will definitely be coming back to get my color and cut from Monique. She's an angel...great person to talk to. If you go to anyone else YOU'RE TRIPPIN read more

Monique has done wonders with my hair! I've really wanted to have fun funky hair, but I needed hair that wouldn't get me fired too, and Monique has definitely managed to give me what I wanted both times I've gone to see her. I originally discovered her through a search for an artist that used Olaplex to keep my damage to a minimum. Not only does she use great products, but she's also really fun and both sessions flew by, despite the first one lasting 6hrs and today's lasting 3. I barely noticed the time going by at all. My hair is still soft and vibrant and my pin-straight hair has actually held the curl all day! I'm definitely not letting anyone else near my hair again! read more

See all

Had such a great experience with Monique, I was torn on what to do with my hair initially and she gave me some advice which I'm so thankful for. She did s trim no color ( for now ) and she taught me a few ways to take care of my hair and let my natural curls shine instead of my go to. Monique is very professional and personable and can't wait to go back to her for some color! read more

My first review on yelp ever! I felt compelled to write one because my experience here was just THAT wonderful. I've been wanting to change my blonde/brown hair to something edgier - so I decided to go black/grey highlights. I was nervous because there was a certain look I was going for and I really didn't want to end up looking like a skunk. Monique is absolutely the BEST. She knew exactly what kind of style/shade I was going for and walked me step by step the whole way through. I've been to a lot of crappy salons where they think they know what you want so they just do it, and it turns out utterly disappointing. Monique and I were on the same page from the very beginning. I was pretty happy about the price, as well. My hair's super long.. $145 for overall dye, bleach strands, and silver toning. Not bad. The only negative thing about this experience was the aftermath - the silver looks great at first, but the color doesn't last very long. I'm very active so I have to wash my hair every day (I know I'm just asking for it), and now the color is a sort of blue-greenish color. I got it colored 4 days ago :/ It still looks great, but I don't recommend this hairstyle for those looking for a more permanent color. read more

I have gone to Monique twice now on my adventure to going blonde. I was Rihanna red for two years, then purple, then tried to personally bleach it all out! I found Monique through Yelp and saw she had experience with all crazy colors! In six weeks and two sessions, with the help of Olaplex, I am now platinum!! I don't know how she did it, I don't even care how she did it, I just know she did! And her pricing is very reasonable! Every where I had consultations with, they were going to charge me by the hour!! Which is insane because not only did I have a lot of color buildup, but my hair is insanely thick (my fingers don't close when I do a ponytail), and my hair is to the middle of my back! She gave me one flat rate and honored it! Thank you, Monique! read more

Let's see I've been seeing Monique for a year and my hair hasn't been happier. Off black to platinum ombre blended beautiful on a short bob. Talk about a challenge. Let go pastel pink...now purple. Keep it healthy but I'm growing it out so don't cut too much. She always delivers. She is honest about the hair's health and risks and avoids them when needed. I unfortunately moved to San Diego and my lazy bum saw someone local for a cut and boy was I sorry. Just had her hook me up with color, cut and an olaplex treatment. I have a beautiful set of betty(baby) bangs like no one else can deliver, a lovely off black, with a smokey brown and golden medium blonde highlight. That girl has talent don't waste your time get your color here!!!!! read more

Monique is awesome! She is very sweet and makes your overall hair appointment more enjoyable or relaxed. I had gone in for an appointment to dye my hair once, and also had her style my hair for my wedding day. The style came out very nice even though I tend to have difficult hair to deal with! She also has very good prices for the professional services she offers. I intend to go back to her if I am ever in the area again & in need of color or styling. read more

I won't let anyone else color my hair since she did such an amazing job taking me darker. She color matched me to go with my beaded wefts from Nikki. She did a great job telling Nikki the colors she needed. Super sweet and a great experience. I can't wait to see her take me a little more blonde next time around. Thanks Monique! Oh yeah, very fair prices too! read more
