    Brooke is so amazing!!! Not only is she kind and caring, her color skills are phenomenal. I have never left the salon unhappy. She can always see my vision and exceeds all expectations. The salon is clean & beautiful. I have been coming here for two years now & will continue to go back. 12/10!!

    I can not say enough positive things about Shanna and Monarch Salon! I have been going to Shanna for a few years now and I never plan on leaving! Shanna's cuts and colors are absolutely fantastic and her prices are unbeatable.

    I had the best experience with Brooke! It was my first time getting my hair lightened and I was a bit nervous, but she continued to reassure me and communicated everything that she was doing to my hair which I really appreciated! She was so kind and I felt very comfortable! Highly recommend

    My hair when I first came to Shanna, after 2 years of growing it out and having to cut off the dry ends.

    Shanna is incredible + a blonding genius! I came to her with some serious trust issues - having my hair so damaged from a previous salon (which had GREAT reviews), and a couple years of having to grow it back to health. My hair is naturally dark and it takes some serious skill to know how to lift it to blonde, while maintaining it's health. Shanna did just that. Years later she has transformed my short damaged hair, to long ashy locks. Did I mention she's also just an amazing person? Always so much fun sitting in her chair! My photos show my hair when I first came to her and 1 year later!

    Brooke has been my go-to gal for years! I trust her to get my blonde right, without damaging my fragile hair. She is the only stylist I've found where the color holds without getting brassy over time. PLUS my hair is healthy and growing finally. ++And her salon is in a great location, clean, and charming. Thanks for being a pro, Brooke!

    This was my first time at this salon and Shanna made booking super easy since I had a lot of questions. Brooke did my hair and I love it! Brooke is not only super friendly but she takes her time with every client making sure you and her on the same page. She was super attentive and I love how my hair turned out.

    Shanna is so good at what she does and her new salon is the cutest. It's in a good location with plenty of parking. I've been going to Shanna for about a year now. I first came across her IG and was impressed with her client photos. Her work makes it easy to let her know what look I'm going for. Which isn't always easy to articulate to a stylist right?! But she makes it easy. She does an incredible job each time with both the color and haircuts. Did I mention the waves? Love the way she styles my hair! Come to monarch salon for amazing hair.

    Shanna took me back to brunette and now allowing me to grow my hair out.

    I absolutely struck gold the moment I found Shanna to be my hair stylist in San Francisco. I started seeing Shanna before she opened Monarch Salon, and she did an excellent job taking me from Brunette to Blonde (in stages of course), giving me a cute short bob, to then taking me back to brunette and helping me grow it longer. She trusts what you're interested in and is willIng to take risks to get you what you want. Nothing is worse than a stylist who is too scared to get you blonde because she thinks you'll hate it. Answer: I'm paying you to do what I want so don't question me, right?! From every decision, Shanna is thorough and honest about what can and will happen if you do anything thing with your hair, like drastically going from light to brown or viceaversa. She also is personable and adds the fun gossip hour to getting your hair done which is always a plus! I've recommended several colleagues and friends to her and who have had troubling hair situations and Shanna helped them fall in love with their hair again! Monarch Salon SF has all of the above things throughout the entire space because it's entirely Shanna's salon. Prices are competitive, but you can't put a price at someone making you look and feeling amazing!

    I've been coming to Shanna now for almost 5 years. First in San Francisco and now in San Diego (literally driving from LA to see her). She listens, does exactly what you want (BEAUTIFULLY), keeps my hair healthy and is just overall sooooo talented!! Ialways get so many compliments on my hair and all my friends ended up going to her (and loving her as well!)Also shes extremely friendly, personable and fun to be around. It's always nice to catch up with her and have a genuine friendship on top of having amazing hair! I'm so so so lucky to have found Shanna!!

    A month after she does her magic, my hair still looking amazing. She will ensure your hair looks good until your next appointment.

    Shanna is an absolute sweetheart! I look forward to my appointments with her and sitting in her chair. I love to give her the creative freedom and go with whatever she recommends for my hair. She is a true artist and for sure will hook you up! She is the only one that has ever made me love my hair right out of the salon. Don't wait to book with her, she books up quickly. Matter of fact, book your next few appointments ahead of time. She's that good! San Diego, you are so lucky to have her.

    I have been going to Shanna for years and we have HISTORY with my hair. Not only is she the sweetest but is the ultimate balayage master (especially because I have dark asian hair). She's taken me dark, taken me light, and then even lighter and I have never been more satisfied with my tone with any other hairdresser. Not to mention she has the cutest pup and new baby boy! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a colorist with the ability to handle asian hair types. I have frizzy, curly, black natural hair and she has changed my life for the better.

    Slight trim and exactly the blonde I asked for

    Where do I start! Number one if you're looking for GREAT WORK then shanna is your girl. She is amazing. You ask and you shall receive. I get so many compliments on my color. I literally will come down to San Diego from SF to see her because you really won't find better! And on top of that she is awesome to be around. If you've been searching for a new hair girl. THIS IS YOUR SIGN. DO IT!!

    Shanna is amazing! I came in for a full balayage/highlight with hair cut. She is so attentive to detail and really listened to everything I wanted as my hair goal/inspiration. I cannot recommend her enough. I have lived in San Diego for a few years and I will continue driving to her even when I move farther away soon. She's so down to earth and the nicest human being!!
