Haven't been to a salon since covid and had a special occasion booked last minute so the search was…read moreon to find a place for highlights and a trim. This place came recommended and had good reviews and they happened to have a spot open in time for my event. Upon arriving, I was pleased with cleanliness and layout of salon. I communicated with the stylist that I wanted to blend some minimal grays that were just at the hair line ( a treat from pregnancy) and get more gold highlights and take out any red. Showed the stylist a photo of myself with the hair I wanted (pre-pandemic hair). I thought she understood. I've been having my hair professional done for decades...and this is the first time I've spent 4 hours in a chair...even when getting the "works". For those of you who've had your hair done, you know it's not like you can just get up and walk out half way through....you sorta have to just deal with results and hope for the best. Which is what I did.. The stylist was knowledgeable about the steps and communicated but I knew she had gone down the wrong path with my hair when she herself expressed it came out darker than she had intended but "not to worry" she'd fix it with the highlights. I didn't see how that was possible but I had already been there 2 hours and I wanted to trust in the process. Fast forward and I ended up with reddish / rusty highlights on the caramel side. A far cry from my photo and my ask. The stylist even remarked that it was NOT what I had asked for but at least it looked better than when I came in. I didn't find the remarks comforting. While she tried to get me excited about how great my hair looked all I could see was this dark streak/line about an inch wide that wraps around the back of my hair where she tried to do a 2 color process which she admittedly had said it didn't work out the way she wanted but again not to worry..( this is in my new hair growth area). Needless to say, I was just over it. My hair was darker and redder than when I went in! *I did have to take a couple calls while in the chair (and she was patient with that)..but they were max 10minutes total combined so I really doubt that impacted results. The stylist did say she guarantees her work but I don't want to give it another try. $240 later ( I left $40 for tip)...overall disappointed... l I could have spent $20 for an at home out of the box coloring that I would've been much happier with. Giving 3 stars for cleanliness, friendliness, haircut, price and availability.

I would like to leave the best review for Debbie and the girls who did hair for my wedding in…read moreAugust 2017. My four bridesmaids, my mother-in-law, and I looked exactly as we imagined -- the styling was beautiful, and it lasted all day. Debbie was fantastic in working with me ahead of time to schedule hair trials; she listened to what I wanted, while offering suggestions; and she helped me create the perfect look for my wedding day. My bridesmaids felt like they were able to get the hairstyles they wanted on the day of the wedding, and they looked beautiful. I am especially happy with how responsive and flexible Debbie and the girls were -- they traveled to Monterey early in the morning on the day of my wedding, and they were on-time and well-prepared. I would definitely recommend Debbie and the girls for anybody looking for a hairstylist. Her prices are very reasonable and totally worth it for the high-quality and reliable level of service.

2 weeks ago I went in for a "New Look". I was excited because of the pictures I have seen on…read moreInstagram. Let me tell you, I let myself be fooled by those pictures. Alexia did my hair and I showed her a picture of the Balayage I wanted. I told her my hair already had dark color, so she sat me in her chair and started my hair process. After she was done with the color she had me sit under the dryer for almost an hour, 52 minutes to be exact. I kept checking it myself with my own mirror and it started to look orange and it already looked very damaged. I asked her if my hair was ready to be washed and she said "another 10 minutes". My hair does not look at all blended and it's breaking and chunks fall out. I can't believe she let me out of the hair salon looking like this. Will never go back and I definitely don't recommend this place!
