The moment I stepped into the salon, the atmosphere was a total breath of fresh air. I was greeted…read moreimmediately with such warmth that felt comfortable. 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!

I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for Leo at O' Salon. He has always been incredible…read moreto me from the very beginning. 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.

Susan did an amazing job with my hair! She really listened…read moreto what I wanted and understood the assignment. Everything is working together the cut, color placement and softness for my face. My hair looks elevated without trying too hard. She took her time making sure everything was exactly right before I left. The color looks soft, natural, and beautifully blended, and the cut has so much movement and shape. I never felt rushed, and she checked in throughout the appointment to make sure I was happy with everything. I'm super happy with the results and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Susan!

Today was my first time at Em Hair Studio and I had a wonderful experience with Keke. Getting my…read morehair cut is generally an anxiety provoking experience for me. So much that I never really stray away from a basic trim and a few layers added to my hair. In fact, the last 5 years I went to the same hair stylist even though I didn't like how my hair would turn out most of the time. Today was a day for change, I wanted to try something new with my hair and I wanted to go to a new hair stylist. I decided to put my trust in Keke. This turned out to be the best decision I could make. Before she started, Keke consulted with me about what I wanted. I feel like she truly listened. Keke took the time to actually stop and pause every step of the way and ask me what I thought of every cut, length and layer. I've never had a hair stylist do that before, usually I'm just asked at the end if I like it. She absolutely didn't need to do all that but that's what I appreciate so much about my experience. I didn't feel rushed or put on the spot, I was given moments to process how I really felt. For the first time in a long time, I really loved how my haircut turned out. Wispy bangs, face framing layers, and long layers throughout. Keke nailed it exactly how I envisioned and I feel like a new person. She even gave me tips on how to style my new bangs. Keke is patient, thoughtful, friendly and kind. I so genuinely appreciate my experience with her. I will definitely be coming back to get my future haircuts with her too!

I've come here for years for perm and cuts. Glad to see their business has grown.... But the…read morequality remains very high! Tina, the manager/owner, is still my go-to person but I saw the finished work of other stylists and they were good too. 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.

I have been coming here for two years now. I love Isabel. She is professional, thorough and…read moredetailed-oriented. Kristine is also really good too. I've done traditional highlights, haircuts, balayage and cover grey and styling. The interior is modern and clean. They will offer you complimentary water, coffee, tea, and sparkling water. This salon is located in old town Monrovia off Myrtle and across the street from the public library. The stylists at this salon tend to take their time and let the coloring sit longer, which I have come to appreciate greatly. Except the first time when I went, I didn't know, that their services take longer and ended up running late to my event, which was stressful. Now I plan extra time when I go. I really only had one bad experience and the issue was addressed promptly and professionally by Judy, the owner. So all in all, a really good salon for the Monrovia/Arcadia/Duarte area.

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).

Before that, my hair was very dry and frizzy from perming and coloring, but after Kit worked on it, it honestly looked and felt much healthier, softer, and more radiant. Highly recommend!

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.
