I had a wonderful experience today with Lucy. She took me at the last minute for a haircut, I got off work early and had some time, and also have a wedding reception later (she had a cancellation, so it worked out!) First thing she asks me what exactly I wanted. I loved her hair and wanted a trim and just needed to get rid of my dead hair. She proceeds with a wash and little did I know, I needed to pamper myself. She gave me exactly what I was asking for! It was great chatting with her and I loved the atmosphere of the salon. Everyone just feels like a big family. read more

4.5 stars. I needed somewhere close and decent enough for a quick haircut. This place was very close to me and initially I called to make an appointment during "open" hours. It was in the evening like 5:30 pm when I called but hours say they open till 10 pm. No one picked up and I called the next morning when they apparently opened at 7 am on a Sat. No one picked up. I called again around noon and someone picked up!! I made an appointment that day since the website says it's recommended. They also didn't pick up so I didn't want to drive and risk the salon being closed. -1/2 a star for the difficulty in appointments. The owner did say they leave early if there no appointments for the rest of the night so it makes sense. When I made the appointment there were multiple people I could hear in the background but for my evening appointment, only the owner was there. I had a customer ahead of me and I could tell this place was her safe place to vent, get pampered. The owner is very kind efficient. I was out within the hour and since it was dark outside he looked to make sure I made it to my car ok. The cut was decent! My hair feels lighter, smooth, and now has layers. It included a wash and blow dry for the price of 40. read more

This will be quick and short. My over all haircut cost 45$ my hair was cut shorter than I like but it's okay it will grow back eventually. They were able to squeeze me in today at 12 with a gentleman I believe by the name of Eddie if I recall correctly. He was very kind but had a very heavy hand with the hair brush that I thought for a second he had a personal vengeance against me. He also hit my face so many times with the brush that it left some red marking :( (because of my social anxiety I was too nervous to say anything :/) (I think my head will be a bit tender for the next couple of days) . His (I'm assuming )nails were a bit to long that when he would move my hair in certain directions it would scratch the back of my neck pretty hard and he scratched my face but luckily not cuts :) over all very quiet place read more

Where everybody knows your name.... a friendly clean and welcomIng location. The owner Martin, appears to be running a very nice salon.

First time getting my hair done with Lucy. I did my research since I don't trust anyone with my hair (long hair). I made an appointment for 3 weeks since she's always booked, being the only one that dyes hair there. She was quick - took 6 hours anddd my hair was super long (takes 8). Not many can work with long hair and she definitely did a great job! So if it's your first time coming here or if you have long hair, she's your go to! Thanks Lucy read more

Got my hair done by Denise and she was amazing! I haven't gotten my hair done in over a year due to bad experiences. I have really thick coarse hair so a lot of the places I've been to never got the color right the first time.I was referred to by my coworker because I liked her balayage so I got Denise's number and scheduled an appointment. Her schedule is pretty busy so make sure you schedule ahead of time! I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted because I didn't want my hair to be blond but I didn't want it to be to dark that the highlights weren't going to show. Denise suggested I go for a honey brown balayage and it came out amazing! Definitely coming back! read more

Needed a hair cut so I made an appointment here and ended up with Ernie! Got to my appointment on time and he let me know he was running behind so we didn't get started until 15 minutes later, which was no biggie. The place itself is decently sized, but not a lot of waiting room. I had to sit in the back with the hair dryers since there were other customers lol. Ernie was super friendly and gave me exactly what I wanted! The cut came with a wash and hair dry, which took about an hour total. It was $40 for the cut before tip. Although they say they accept credit cards, it actually depends on the person. He said he only took venmo, zelle, or cash. Overall, super happy with my hair and everyone was very friendly! Would definitely be back read more

Needed a good hair cut, hopped on Yelp and found a GREAT 5 Star Hair Salon in Montebello!!! The owner Miguel was super sweet on phone. Explained everything before my appointment.

I came to this salon after months of deliberating. The owner of the salon I used to go to retired and I was Sh. out of luck! I decided to try this salon and WOW! I loved everything from the customer service I received when I walked in (no appointment, I was a walk in) to when I left. Martin made me feel like I had been a regular customer for years! Now, to the cut: I wish I would have taken a before of my hair. My hair was dull, stringy, and too long. I was tired of it and had contemplated on two different styles - longer layers or a bob. Martin asked me a few questions and he helped me pick out a hairstyle that would suit me and my lifestyle (very important). He gave me long, sophisticated layers. (Will upload pic). My hair feels soft and bouncy, and also smells sooo good. I will definitely be coming back to lighten my hair before my trip to MX! THANK YOU MARTIN! read more

I just moved into the area and I needed a haircut ASAP. I called and Martin was able to get me in same day. I ran into some traffic on the way there so I called and Martin told me not to worry. He assured me that he would wait for me. When I finally got there he was just as friendly as he had been over the phone. After a brief consult he washed my hair we got started. During the cut he gave me a few suggestions on how to care for my hair and once he was done I felt so much lighter. He also styled my hair and made sure I was pleased before I left his chair. I was delighted! I will definitely be back. read more

A friend recommended MG after I already spent some time hopping around trying to find an affordable stylist. And I'm glad she did. I've been to Supercuts and the frou frou salons that offer a glass of white zin once your toe goes over their threshold. And though the white zin is a nice accompaniment to the whole experience, I grew tired of paying close to $200 for color, trim, and a blow out. So I headed east where I found Melinda at this no frills salon. Well, they do have some frills, they offer coffee and massages ( those are not free). Melinda is a great colorist and has taken care of my hair ever since I began going to her over a year and a half ago. She doesn't push products in your face either, something I really do appreciate. Though her prices are not Supercuts low they're also not bookoo high. Her skill and prices are definitely worth the drive. read more

There is one more person missing from this photo but my sisters and I have been coming to see Hilda for 5-9 years and I just brought my friends here for the first time today. We all love Hilda!

About 5 minutes away from her last location) read more

S/o to my barber Martin. Always a good time talking to him and he's always messing with me. I've been coming to him practically my whole life and even if I skip a couple months here and there we pick up right where we left off. He's pretty talented, but like any barber you need to tell them what you want, you're a customer at the end of the day and they're not mind readers. Thanks for making me look chingon this weekend Martin! read more

I'm the type of person that usually gets anxiety when I'm about to get a haircut. Maybe is because as simple as my haircut is stylist usually cut too much off. Denise was so good at keeping me at ease while she cut my hair. She did exactly what I wanted and needless to say I will be going back. The best part is that you won't make a whole in your wallet, I paid $30 for a shampoo, cut, and an awesome style. It was done in less than an hour! read more

Besides the fact that she is sweet, nice, smart, honest, flexible and patient, she styles great hair! Denise listens, gives advice and provides good recommendations. I get color, highlights, extensions and the occasional cut. I am never disappointed. Thank you Denise!!! ‍ read more

Learned my lesson on going to other stylist, never trusting anyone else besides Denise! I Have searched several times for a stylist closer to me in San Diego but no one has ever blown my mind like she has. She is definitely worth the drive! She always leaves my hair on point and has so much patience when it comes to hair. She is funny too and interacts with her clients while working on their hair. I always leave the salon feeling fierce with my hair! read more

Ernie is amazing. He fixed my daughters hair in its tough grow out phase after shaving the sides of her head. Would definitely go back!

Went in yesterday to get my hair fixed, I had gone somewhere else to get an ombre and they left dark spots all over my hair and it was 10 different colors oh and they chopped off my hair. Denise works wonders she did exactly what I wanted a fixed ny hair cut. She took time on me didn't rush. All stylist are so nice as soon as I walked in they asked if I wanted something to drink or if I needed anything.. I am so satisfied with Denise and the salon. Make sure to book your appointment to guaranty a spot. read more

I've been with my previous hair dresser for about 13 years. Unfortunately her schedule became a bit hectic. This started my journey looking for a new hair dresser. These days it's hard to know if this person is professional, great , and most importantly grounded in being able to suggest or relay her thoughts of color, hair or opinion. My husband has being going to the owner of MG studios Martin Galvan for Years. I can honestly say a few decades. He stated Melinda was the best. To give her a try. I booked my first appointment with her for the Jennifer Aniston look. What can I say. I don't look like Jennifer Aniston but the hair was the exact look I had asked for. Taking in my Picture of her, it only took Melinda 1 try! She nailed it! 8 months later I decided to discover for the first time the darker look. Of course inspired by Kardashians, I quite did not want it that dark. Again Melinda was professional and sweet to say she would suggest a the darkest brown on me. Again Melinda nailed it!!! Melinda is the real deal. I'm 37 with 3 children schedules are hard, appointments are difficult to meet. She is flexible, kind, quick, no non sense type of girl. I have more great news. I called Melinda about 4 months ago. I have pretty thick hair, not curly yet not straight. So I decided to go in for the Brazilian Blow out. However, I recommended my cousin to go. When I saw her hair my thoughts were. Melinda nailed once again!! Of course I went in two weeks later. I loved it!!!! Highly recommend it. Melinda is truly the Best! In my book she is priceless!

This is now my go-to hair salon. My friend and I were both looking to get hair cuts so we looked on Yelp and found MG Hair Studio. Best find ever. We were both helped by Denise and she is honestly a great stylist. She washed and conditioned our hair, cut, blow dryed and styled for 30 bucks each. She asked a lot of questions to help create the perfect cut that you want. She was super friendly and nice and gave us a bit of advice to handle our manes. She's fantastic always ask for Denise! I give this salon 10/5 stars and definitely will be going back back in the future and telling all my friends about it read more

Was debating whether or not to make a review cause I really want to support small businesses, but the way my hair came out was really disappointing and not worth the money I paid. I think Ernie was the one who did my hair. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and I told him how I wanted it to be cut and he said "sure I can do that." It would've been fine if he told me he couldn't do what I asked for and I would've been perfectly okay with whatever style he could do. I'm not a picky person at all, but when I ask for something and you say you can do it, I expect it to look something similar. I asked for long layers with a u shape cut. He did exactly the opposite. He did a straight cut and cut my hair shorter than what I wanted. The ends of my hair were blocky and thick and it did not blend well at all. It was literally one layer on top, one layer on the bottom. It wasn't until he was halfway done with the haircut where I realized it didn't look like how I wanted it to. And while he was cutting my hair, he was extremely rough and also kept banging the brush on my head. I was really close to getting up and leaving and finding another salon to get it fixed. Even when I got up from my seat, the customers and even the worker who saw my hair knew that he didn't do a great job. I know I could've told him that I did not like the haircut at that moment and have him fix it to my liking, but he already fucked it up that I could not trust him to cut my hair even more. I tried to make myself like the hair, but for what I paid and how it turned out, it was really disappointing. I had to go home and cut off the whole bottom layer myself cause of how bad it was and since most of the salons were already closed, I couldn't get it fixed. My friends and family were shocked by how it looked and how much I paid. I could've literally went to a $12 haircut place and get the same haircut that he just gave me... Overall, don't come in with high expectations, even though they have positive reviews on how amazing their haircuts were. I just didn't have that great of an outcome and experience. read more

I visited this salon for the first time today. I made an appointment with Melinda & wanted an ombre look. I was hesitant about what she could really do with my hair because it was kind of red. She spent 5.5 hours & I was tired of sitting. Once I saw the finished product I was ecstatic! It was definitely worth it. She did an amazing job!! Thank you!!! read more
