For such an "affluent" area, Lafayette is lacking in quality nail salons, and salons in general. I had someone mention she had been going to Mon Mon, for close to 12yrs, and wouldn't go anywhere else. So, I had to give it a try. WOW. It exceeded my expectations. I've been to resort spas around the world, this place is equivalent of a high-class resort in Tahiti. Thank you so much to all that you do. I don't mind spending a bit extra, to be pampered like a Queen, and with the most up-to-date equipment and services. read more

Convenient location in Lafayette. I missed the front door on my first walk up. Super nice. Speedy service with false eyelash application.

I have gotten my brows micro bladed here and had lash extensions. My brows were done through two appointments with about 6 weeks in between. I had left a review after my first appointment and said my brows looked uneven, and I'm updating because after Monica did my second appointment they're perfect! I'm glad I listened. They look natural and loving them. I also had lash extensions here by Monica; she did a great job and they lasted really well. She's an artist, I highly recommend Monica! read more

I've been very fortunate to have discovered this lovely little salon in Lafayette. Monica is a true lash artist and savvy aesthetician because of the high end natural looking lush lashes that she creates which are the epitome of not-plastic or fake looking. Her microblading is delicate, painless and flawless too. She has an amazing eye for detail and she uses the latest advances in lash types and glue. The other amazing secret at MonMon is Long. He is a meticulous hard working gentleman who has transformed my very tired callused feet into soft pretty things over and over again. I love how clean and pretty the salon is. All the tools are UV sanitized and sealed in blue medical grade bags for each customer. They always line the pedicure tub with it's own sanitary cover and the scrubs/lotions are individually packed for extra safety. If anyone is lucky enough to get an appointment here, they will be sure to come back like I have the last 5 years. read more

Monica is the best lash tech ever. Tell her what you want and she'll do it for you with or without a reference pic. If you ask her to add more lashes, she will. She takes her time and it actually lasts until your fill (I usually go every 3 weeks) My pic is 2 weeks in on a volume set. Try her out - you won't be disappointed. read more

Monica is a true artist when it comes to any and all things eyebrows/eyelashes. She is a perfectionist!

I had my nails and toes done almost 4 weeks ago and the gel is still completely on. None of them have peeled!!!! They also used hot stones to massage my feet and legs! One of the most relaxing days I've had in a long time! read more

5 years ago I came to Monica to fix a botched eyebrow tattoo and she did a great job. When Microblading became all the rage, I came back to Monica, but my old brow tattoos were still to dark to show and microbladed ink. So I waited another couple year. Finally, was ready to do it. And it Monica's work has exceeded my expectations. I've seen examples of other people's work and they were nice but hair strands looked too far apart to look real on someone like me who has little to no eyebrow hair, but I came back to Monica because I knew that she would keep going until I said stop :) Well I didn't have to say keep going or stop. They were awesome on her first reveal. I'm hoping his lasts over 9 months. I'll keep you posted! read more

Found this place on Yelp- called and made a same day appt which was really amazing. Appt was at noon- but didn't get seen until about 12:10/15- no biggie because I was out of there by 1:45pm. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of my lashes. It's only been a few hours but I don't have any burning from the glue and my eyes aren't red. Naturally my lashes are long and heavy- camel lashes- she blended the extensions with mine and you can't tell where they start and stop. Made my fill appt before I left - I've got to keep these up they look and feel so great. The girl who did them was really nice and took time to find out what look I wanted to achieve with the lashes. I showed her a picture of an old set of lashes I had and she definitely replicated the look. read more

Mon Mon Beauty & Spa - Right after my new set. No red eye no irritation. Just great lashes. - Eyelash Service Near Me - Lafayette, California

Monica is a true lash artist. I have been to several lash places but she is by far the best out there. She has a true talent and customizes lashes to your eye shape and preference. What also really impressed me is how fast she works but that does not compromise quality. My lashes last for over three weeks and still look amazing. I have gotten many compliments about them. Since going to Monica I noticed an immediate difference in my eyelash extensions - they do not irritate me anymore, there is absolutely no glue on the lash line, they are weightless, and so natural looking! In terms of pricing, she is also the most affordable around. She does not upcharge for 3 week fills. I was paying $10-15 more at other places. I was reading a recent Yelp review that attacked Monica and her business practices and this made me very angry. She is nothing but professional and sweet, and for anyone to suggest otherwise is crazy. I have observed her on many occassions go out of her way to make sure her clients are happy and taken care of. It is also upsetting to read a review that criticizes those they assume do not speak English or try to get things free from small businesses. read more

We moved to this area 4 years ago. My daughter (20 at the time) choose Mon Mon as THE place to have her nails done. Every time she is home she goes in every few weeks for gel or straight up polish. Always a good experience... until her last visit. We were going to be at a wedding so she called ahead WEEKS BEFORE from the East Coast to be sure that both of us (mother/daughter) would be able to get our nails done together. It was a big deal as she was only home for a couple of days. She scheduled the appointment for 4PM as she works remotely until 3-3:30. The day of our appointment we received a call at 3:15 asking if we "were there are we coming?". She reminded them she is working and the appointments were for 4PM. They asked could she come sooner. We got there as soon as we could... only to find they had NOT MADE the TWO appointments. HUGE bummer. I (the mom) work too and had arranged for the time to do this and the wedding was out of town in two days AND it was our only together time. Super annoying! I left to try to get work done so I could come in by myself the next afternoon at a time they choose. While my daughter was having her nails finished the owner, Monica, apologized for all the confusion and said "she would do your mother's nails for free tomorrow". My daughter thanked her more than once and said that it was super nice of them to do that. I was only going to get a pedi and clean/cut but not polish my fingers. When I arrived the next day I had my nails cleaned and a simple pedi done. The man doing them (Long Q. I think) said it was $65. I began to feel embarrassed assuming he didn't know it was a free service to make up for all the confusion with scheduling the day before (although he was there the day before and heard the offer). I reminded him super politely what Monica had said. His reply was to laugh and say "what was said yesterday, she only kidding."! I said I don't think so and he said yes "she was only kidding, $65." I had only brought enough for a good tip... he said Venmo me. There were at least 2-3 other customers there and it was REALLY embarrassing as I looked like I had made it all up. Long went down the hall to speak to someone and came back laughing and saying again "just joking you pay $65.". When I told my daughter she was furious. She has gone there many, many times and referred them to everyone. Neither of us will EVER go there again and will spread the word that their scheduling is a nightmare and their word is worth nothing. read more

OMG!! Where have you been all my life, Mon Mon?! I walked into Mon Mon looking like less-of-a-human and then this place completely transformed me!! There are two miracles that I got done here: lashes and nails (refer to pictures that I posted for Nail designs). I just moved from San Francisco so I've been to pretty much most of the lashes and nail places. And let me tell you, Monica is the greatest when it comes to placing lashes. She has performed a miracle on my "desert-looking" lashes into full, voluminous, long luscious lashes that are much better and comfortable than fake lashes! And trust me, the reason I've been wearing fake lashes only because I was looking for that full, long voluminous look! And then, finally I got my answer: MON MON! As long as Monica does my lashes, NO MORE fake, nasty glue-using fake lashes for me! And where do I even begin with my nails? My nails have always been short, dry, ugly because I have to wear gloves all the time. My friends used to joke and say "you need Jesus with your nails.". Yes it was that bad. I came to Mon Mon and this wonderful girl named Vanessa really transformed my nails from score 1.7 to a dime, perfect 10!!! (Check out the photos that I posted). They have everything I've wanted: natural looking nails (although it's acrylic), unique designs and some blings on them!!! I was sooooooooooo amazed and satisfied with the result of my lashes, my nails, their customer service that I really felt like I was reborn, to a beautiful girl!! Nothing like what I walked in. THANK YOU SO MUCH MON MON! You have made miracles for me and I'll be sure to come back to receive more "Mon Mon Miracle"!!!!! read more

Whoever said the first time is always painful is dead wrong. I felt no pain and was glowing from the after effects. After an hour of careful application of individual eyelashes by Monica's skillful hands, I emerged a new woman. There was a confidence in my stride and for once my eyes fluttered as I blinked which immediately caught my hubby's attention. No clumpy mascara this time and the look is very natural, not like a Vegas showgirl or a porn star. I took advantage of the Yelp deal for first time customers so I got a great bargain. There are metered spots right in front of Thirteen Salon that is good for two hours. The meters accept credit cards so you don't have to carry a sack load of coins,( save that for the laundromat.) There is a parking facility a few steps away as well. I highly recommend her. Just remember to book ahead. I waited a while to get an appointment. read more

I made an appointment in the morning for 5pm and then bought the Yelp deal. I arrived a little early and waited more than 30 minutes after my appointment time before giving up and leaving. Another woman also left frustrated because they had told her to come in on the phone but when she arrived they told her to come back another time. Was excited to try a new place. I won't be back and I'll be getting a refund on the Yelp deal offered. read more

She does a great job. No pullig, no pain, no stuck lashes. Efficient, beautiful lashes applied with deft skill. They just look full and even and multi-layered, and natural. It's really pretty awesome. I'm impressed, and that's not easily done. Did I mention she's fast? I've had extensions by others and they never seem to do as many or as quickly as Monica does. Highly recommend her. And with that Yelp deal, wow. read more

Monica is an angel!! She is incredibly quick and meticulous with everything she does. I've had my eyelashes done everywhere from Asia, to Manhattan and there is definitely no comparison. Monica used to live in SoCal and worked in Beverly Hills so she has years of experience working with the most perfectionist of clientele where every little detail matters. Monica takes the time to do it right and knows the rules on keeping your lashes healthy and beautiful for the long haul, not just for that visit. Try it out if you've never had them before and you won't regret it, promise!! read more

Monica is THEEEE best. She was very patient with me and gave me a few options for my eyebrows before she proceeded with the tattooo process. She was able to accent my eyes and give me her expert advice. She stressed that my satisfaction was the most important. The procedure was smooth and no one could tell I just had my eyebrows tattooed! No redness, blood, swelling.. NOTHING. I love my brows and will be going back to Monica for eyelash extensions. Thanks Monica! read more

My one and only eyelash place forever... I drive from San Mateo to Mon Mon's because Monica is the best, never disappoints. My aunt and I have been going to her for 7 years. I get compliments all the time on my lashes by friends and strangers. She's really worth the drive. If you're unsure about where to go for lashes I highly recommend coming here. My lashes are always done by Monica (the owner), but her other aestheticians are good too! Schedule your next eyelash, mani/pedi and eyebrow appointment! (Lash style: dramatic volume) read more

I don't like planning far in advance for things like pedicures, massages, haircuts, etc. I called this salon asking if they had last minute appointment and fortunately they did. The salon is a little hidden away in the shopping area and provides little to no street visibility. Almost hides behind Kane Sushi restaurant. I picked my color and settled in a comfy chair and immediately turned on the massage function. Pedicure was good. I'll go back. The surprise for me was the line of Ladies wanting either eyelash extensions or eyelash refills from Monica. I pulled out my Yelp app to see what the fuss was about. Ladies love Monica for this pricey glamourfication!!! Like how I made up that word? It's true! Ladies waiting patiently...sometimes boyfriends waiting with them. One day I'll have to try eyelash extensions! read more

Ok, firstly, I debated on whether to leave this review, since I want to retain the mystery of how I can look so lovely with such amazing lashes. :p But (secondly) I'm Asian, and there is no way they could be guessed as *al-mine*. They look SO good, however, that I think people really have a hard time figuring out that they are extensions. Enter Monica. She deserves the praise, and I hope this review garners a bunch more business because she deserves that too. She's been doing eyelashes and makeup for 10 years. And dang, that girl is EFFICIENT. I was in and out in an hour. She was on time, timely, and btw, extremely present and friendly. The lashes were so well done. Nothing sticks, everything just looks bigger, longer, curled, pretty, flawless. I've been to a couple of others for eyelash extensions. They were nice, but I didn't leave reviews because frankly the job was just OK. Not so here. I'm really happy to give this review. read more

Got a manipedi today at Mon Mon in Lafayette, CA. My nails were done by Sue who recently moved too this great place (I've gone to Sue for 18 yrs!!! She's fabulous! :-) and I really like the owner Monica and her staff. They do amazing lashes and tattoo brows & eyeliner! Wish I didn't have my eye issues or I'd be in line for that, too. Really recommend them!! Thanks Sue!!! read more

Monica did an outstanding job on my eyebrows. It has literally changed how I feel about myself, and makes me feel at ease that I don't have to worry about make up fill ins getting whipped off, or disappearing through out the day. I HIGHLY recommend her. I'm only giving her four stars because she did not go over cost wih me. Which in turn ended up to be a fiasco due to the website and front desk people saying one price, and Monica's actual price being $75 higher. However, Monica does have excellent customer service and she reimbursed me ( poor thing , it was the salons fault ). But it was the right thing to do. read more

I've only been here for lashes, but Monica does a great job! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and they turned out perfect! I've been several times for eyelash extensions and touch ups, took a break, but am going next week for a new set. The location is also great for me! read more

Clean, friendly, pleasant experience. Able to get in right away when all the other salons were closed or full, on a Tuesday. Would go back if my regular salon is closed or busy. What I didn't like: the manicurist cleaned the excess polish off my cuticles with her fingernail instead of a brush dipped in acetone. read more

Monica is AWESOME!!! I love my eyelashes, she does such a beautiful job!

I've been without lash extensions for 3 months until today. It feels so good seeing Monica again and having my full set of lashes. She moved in to her new spa which is the most cutest set up. I always love the outcome to monicas work. I trust her completely. Not once have I had a bad experience with her. She is the go to person if u ever consider getting your lashes done. read more

I love this spa walked in the middle of the day and was helped immediately. Got a wonderful pedicure my feet felt so much better after a long week of work. The new technician also gave me a great manicure. My acrylic nails came out great she helped me pick out the perfect color and shape. I use to go to lamorida behind whole foods but never again faster and better service at Mon Mon. Going in soon for my eyebrow tattoo. They also have facials and eyebrow extensions the perfect spot for a girls day. read more

The Yelp reviews were right on the money. Monica was awesome. She transformed my old lashes to AMAZING! Thanks Monica!

Soooooo......... I'm leaving another review, because Monica just continues to outdo herself! She has finally settled into her new place (which is simply gorgeous and all blinged out!!!). Her staff (Natalia and Vanessa are equally amazing). When Monica left me (how dare she ..lol!) to have her beautiful baby girl, I was terrified because I'm so darn picky and she is so frickin amazing. But..... I immediately forgave her when she had Natalia cover for her. If I didn't know any better, I would have sworn Natalia learned everything she knows from Mon!!!! Natalia was a complete perfectionist, just like Monica, and was quick!!! So if Monica can't fit you in; see Natalia! And I cannot leave before I comment on my beautiful gel mani and pedi! First of all, Monica better nail down those doggone massage chairs because I keep telling her and Johnny, I'm going to steal one on my way out (lol... If I can just figure out how to get in in my purse, out the door and into my car lol!!!) That chair is like magic... I could sit there all day, while Monica and the girls serve me green tea! Ok...okay....enough about the chairs, VANESSA....VANESSA.... VANESSA!!! My nails are beautiful! They look completely natural from the color to the shape to the thickness (or should I say thin..because I swear they are about the same thickness as my natural nail). I have gotten so many compliments!!! I go about 3 weeks with no lifting, no breaks, no chips no nothing and they still look GREAT!!!! I always get gel on my toes too because I wear heels so often... Let me just say, she will do whatever you ask and make it perfect. If you are not happy, she will fix it, if you need a special sparkle powder mix, she will make it right there for you!!!! This place is now, my one stop shop for looking fabulous! So next time you are in Lafayette, walk on over (better yet run) and go see Monica then ask Vanessa to hook you up!!!!! You won't regret it! read more

I had my eye brows micro bladed and lash extensions applied by Monica. She was so friendly and professional, as well as meticulous with her work. I am so happy with the results and I will definitely see her again!! read more

If I could I'd give Monica more than 5 stars. If you're looking for getting or maintaining your eyelash extensions, look no further. I've been going to Monica for quite awhile and I continue to get compliments on my lashes, how beautiful and natural they look. Maintenance is typically every 3 weeks but my lashes still look great after 3 weeks. That's when you know you got a keeper! Monica is excellent at her trade. She's very personal and makes you feel comfortable. Can't forget Natalia. Natalia works for Monica and is just as good. You know why? She was mentored and trained by the best...Monica. I highly recommend Mon Mon...eyelashes, wax, mani/pedi...one stop shop. read more

I highly recommend Monica and Mon Mon Beauty and Spa. Monica is simply the very best eyelash person here in the Bay Area. She is fast, but somehow they stay on longer than anyone else. She keeps her appointments to time, and as a very busy entrepreneur I'm grateful for that. I always emerge feeling really well taken care of and beautiful again thanks to Monica's skill and care. I also get my nails done here...she has some sort of deal for a mani-pedi when you get your lashes done! Great afternoon to pretty up and get your lashes and nails done. read more

Love Monica! She's done my brows 3 times now and she's amazing! Super attentive to detail and listens to exactly what you want. read more

I had Monica do a powder eyebrow treatment in October 2018. The cost was $475. This included a touch up in early November. I was dissatisfied with the result on my right eyebrow where I had approximately an eighth of an inch where I had plucked too much and this area needed to be filled in but after the treatment it looked like a smudge of black in that area. I was referred by my aesthetician. She spoke to Monica and advised me to get another touch up and have Monica micro blade the area. Monica did another quick touch up and charged me $100. There was no improvement in the area. I have had micro blading before and it lasted for over 2 years and only cost $350. In all I paid Monica $600. It's been only 6 months and $600 with unacceptable results. I called Monica to tell her and she offered to do another treatment and said she wouldn't charge me this time but my time is valuable to me and why waste anymore? I had been there 3 times. Monica contacted me after reading my review and said she's very interested in customer service and satisfaction. She wanted the opportunity to help me be satisfied and the end result is acceptable. read more

Absolutely loved it here! It was my first visit today and the staff was so friendly! The atmosphere was very relaxing as well. I started getting my eyelashes done about a year ago, I just moved here from Boston and this salon did the best job ever!! I'm super picky so that means a lot! I got my nails done too! I had a hard time choosing a place to get my eyelashes done around here because there are so many salons that offer this service so I took a chance, and I will be back. They make you feel at home, I highly recommend that you try this salon. They also did a phenomenal job on my nails as well!!!! This salon is a must try!!! read more

Monica has done my eyebrows several times over the course of a decade. She is absolutely a true artist with her work-I am amazed at how much of an improvement she makes in my appearance with her eyebrow artistry (permanent eyebrows). She is focused, kind, gentle and very talented with her work-I have utmost confidence in her skills. It is good to see someone as talented as she is has her own salon and I see her doing very well going forward. The salon is bright, clean, new and a joy to visit-staff there all very friendly and a positive experience all around. Thank You Monica, You are a true Star!!!! read more

I absolutely love Monica! She is excellent at what she does! Monica did a commendable job for my very first appointment by listening to me and giving me the exact look that I wanted and since then I've become a regular loyal customer (2 1/2 years now). Come and visit Monica's new salon and you will not be disappointed! You get a good 30-60 mins. spa while she does her magic and then voila.. instant beautiful eyelashes! It sure does give an extra oomph to your look especially when you are always on-the-go! Love it!! read more
