I was able to snatch a last minute booking with Makayla, and she was absolutely amazing. She asked if I had any inspirations photos and she executed it perfectly even better than the photo I showed her. She had an amazing understanding of exactly what I wanted and helped me understand the density of my hair and what would work well with low maintenance and grow out, since I only cut my hair twice a year. She did an amazing job 10/10 would recommend ! read more

I'm so glad I found Monique! From my very first appointment, she took on what was honestly a pretty difficult color correction and completely exceeded my expectations.

You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and her attention to detail really shows in the final results. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, honest, and truly cares about giving you beautiful results, Monique is the stylist to see.

I just had my first ever curly cut and color with Monique at MCL Hair, and it was such a game changing experience. From the start, she really listened to my goals, concerns, and what I've been struggling with when it comes to my hair. She took her time and made sure the cut worked with my curl pattern, not against it. The shape is super flattering, and my curls looked defined, soft, and healthy and not just when I left the salon, but even the next day, which is rare for me after a haircut. She also recommended products that were actually suited to my hair and explained how to use them. I left feeling more confident and informed about how to care for my curls. You can tell she really cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. read more

Monique is simply the best in the business. I have thin (low density, high porosity) 3a curls, my sister has thick 3c curls, and my girlfriend has thick straight hair. Monique gives each of us a perfect cut that stays looking fresh for months and grows out beautifully. She's incredibly patient and attentive, making sure that you get exactly the style you want. The salon itself is also wonderfully luxurious, with a genuine warmth and coziness. I could not recommend MCL more! read more

I've been going to Monique for Hair extension for about 2 years and I can't imagine going anywhere else ever again, Monique is an absolute artist! I have wavy curly hair and been struggling to find hair extensions that looked good, I started with doing sew in rows (not for me) and eventually made the decision to move to K-tips (and didn't suffer any bad side effects because Monique is such an expert on what my fine hair can take and the hair quality is exceptional) Most times no one would ever think I have extensions on! I used to do super bold colors (Red,Pink etc etc) and now I'm into the more natural look and throughout all of these crazy changes, Monique always guided me in the right direction in making choices that allows my natural hair to grow, in fact, my hair has never been better! I'm an absolute customer for life. You just can't get any better than this, it truly the best extensions around. You get what you pay for with extensions, and Monique is worth every dime, it's an absolute waste to spend your money anywhere else. Now, the salon itself is just stunning. The attention to detail is shown throughout. Black and white with gold accents, lovely vegetation adds to the modern-chic vibe and as someone who spends hours in the chair, I always feel welcomed, appreciated and well taken care of. Last note about color, I have never allowed anyone to color my hair but I trust Monique completely with my highlights and color choices. 90% of the time I just give her an overall vibe and she produces work of arts. Book and try these extensions, you'd be shocked! Curly, wavy girls....this is the ONLY place you'll find extensions that aren't super processed or too heavy. read more

Mclhair - Waiting area - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Francisco, California

For the longest time, I wasn't able to find a hair stylist who worked on ethnic curly hair or understood my concerns. After moving to LA 3 years ago, I randomly came across Monique on social media. Since that day, I have never been to another hair stylist. Even when she moved to the Bay area, I would wait until she flew back to LA to get it done by her. She seriously is amazing , knows what she is talking about and gets it done. Boss a** lady! 11 out of 10 highly recommend, She's great! read more

Monique is truly a miracle worker when it comes to hair needs and vision. I have lived in SF for 10 years and could never find someone that did it all.. cut, color, extensions, keratin,etc. Monique not only does it all but she does every single thing with excellence and nothing short of perfection. She puts her heart and soul into each client which I would say is rare as I wasn't able to find a hair stylist that truly cared for their clients after 15+ hair stylists later. Monique helped me get my hair from completely fried (from bleach) to a healthy, thick, and complimentary color. Monique is so talented, her extensions are flawless and I'm so thankful she's located in the Bay Area. At one point I thought I was going to move across the country and I told her I would fly 6+ hours every 8 weeks just to have her do my hair. I've been getting extensions done for 15 years and these are the best yet. I want everyone to know about Monique and her work because it's changed my life In that it gives you a new found confidence and everyone deserves to love their hair as much as I do. Thank you Monique! read more

I'm obsessed with my beautiful, high-quality, natural-looking hair extensions! I decided to add them before my wedding for more volume, fuller look and extra length. Monique is so talented and my experience with her was 10/10 at every step! We first met for a consultation when she throughly explained the process of adding hair extensions and how to take care of them. At my appointment, we colored my hair (Monique is so detailed and I love my blonde tone she blends for me) and then adding the extensions was much faster than I anticipated! She had matched my hair with the extensions she ordered so well! The blending with my hair is seamless for both color and texture! I've been wearing them for over a month and they still look and feel like the day she added them. Such great quality of work. I've been getting a ton of compliments! Thank you so much! read more

I have been seeing Monique on and off for about 6 years and I always leave with a smile on my face. She is everything you look for in a hair professional: she's incredibly talented, easy to talk to, willing to experiment, and flexible. I change my look frequently and she's always on board to try something new. She'll also keep it real about ideas that just won't work, and I appreciate that! I am so lucky to have found her and could not recommend her more. read more

I'm so lucky to have found Monique! She did an incredible job with my hair extensions for my wedding. I was so nervous about getting them because I was coming in with highlights, but she made the process so easy and painless. She also took the time to explain the different types of hair extensions & walked me through their pros/cons around 1) price 2) hairstyle flexibility 3) extension time & 4) aftercare/ maintenance. I went with K-tips since I wanted the most flexibility and for it to last a while. We then made a plan to have extensions & coloring done (balayage) so that my natural hair & the extensions would match. The installation is LONG (5hr for my long hair), so just be prepared to eat/take care of yourself beforehand, but I promise it's worth it. She has a keen eye and worked precisely with her attention to detail. You can tell she's incredibly passionate about hair, ensuring healthy hair for her clients, and making sure you walk out feeling gorgeous. My hair looked amazing for MONTHS after my wedding, and I received so many compliments on it. Absolutely no one could tell I had extensions in. They were seamless. When it came time to removal, she even took so much time & diligence to ensure my natural hair was taken care of even after some I had some missteps in aftercare. She is talented, professional, and a pleasure to work with. read more

Best salon in the Bay Area, Shelly has once again revived my hair!! My hair is naturally straight, fine and flat. She has worked her magic and made it voluminous sleek and healthy!! She is a miracle worker and I'm very thankful for her!! read more

Monique is the best ever! I found her on IG a few years ago and flew all the way to LA to have her color my hair. I'm from the Bay Area and there's a shortage of great colorists, based on her work displayed on IG, I was willing to take a chance. She did not disappoint. I have thick, curly/wavy hair and she has cut and highlighted my hair and was even able to take me from basically black hair to blonde in a few sessions without damaging my hair. One thing I really like about her is she takes her time when I'm in her chair. I never feel as though she's rushing just to get to the next client. She's even blocked her whole day off just to accommodate a longer appointment because my hair is so thick. She makes recommendations on color/cuts, extensions and is super friendly and personable. Monique provides exceptional customer service and is very professional. I'd recommend her to anyone in and out of town. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Monique. She's been doing my hair since she was out of beauty school, and let's just say this woman has a passion for this art! She has done everything she can to grow and learn and become a master of her craft. She sets the tone immediately when you see her. Not only is she freakin adorable but she is sooo knowledgeable; she won't let you leave her salon without feeling like you've had the superstar treatment. We've gone blonde blonde, and we've gone to the dark side. She's chopped my hair into chic a-lines and also just trimmed me up so my long(ish) hair stays looking fresh and healthy. Let's just say I am beyond happy to have her back in the Bay Area so I can get back into the routine of her doing my hair. You won't be disappointed. Book an appointment NOW! read more
