I came in to fix a previous bad haircut -- the issue was mainly in the lower part. The stylist was confident and assured me she knew how to correct it, so I trusted her. Instead, she cut my curly hair in a way that created a bulky "cap" on top while leaving uneven length at the bottom. The result was an unmanageable shape that would not lay properly no matter how I styled it. I was later told I "seemed happy" when I left, but as a client I rely on the professional -- the real result shows after living with the haircut. Because of this, I had to go to a third salon to fix the damage. Because of poor corrective work, I went from below-shoulder length hair to a short bob not by choice, but because the damage had to be fixed. Would not recommend for curly hair and actually would not recommend at all read more

I saw Breezy Frost here at Monet back in late November and regret it has taken me so long to write this review. She is absolutely the best hairstylist I have ever worked with. Her listening skills and ability to translate what I asked for into reality were outstanding! read more

Monet Salon - My new hairdo - Hair Salons Near Me - Capitola, California

MEN'S HAIRCUT REVIEW: During a weekend outing in Capitola, hubby and I walked past a nice looking salon with a sign "Walk In's Welcome". Salons in our county (Alameda) are still closed, so hubby decides to seize the moment to get a haircut. It would be his first since shelter in place over 4 months ago. There were 2 other customers, and each were spaced in separate corners of the salon. They have hand sanitizer and extra face masks at the door in case you didn't bring your own. Besides the safety measures, they give a great haircut and haircut experience. They use aromatherapy with their shampoo and scalp massage. His hair was conditioned and cut just as he wanted. He said it's his best haircut, and I have to agree. What a bonus on top of a great day in Capitola. read more

Edit: this woman is full of s***, a total liar, and I would rather have my hair cut by a 4 year old than support her or her business. She's the absolute worst, STAY AWAY. Super rude, they made my partner and I wait outside for 15 minutes while they tried to sell shampoo to others. We had called in advance saying we'd be running 5 minutes late, which the owner gave me s*** about, but then when we arrived they weren't ready for us. They also hadn't written in my partner's appointment and seemed surprised he wanted a haircut. In the end they started his haircut 35 minutes after the appointment was supposed to... I ended up deciding to go somewhere else since the owner was so disgusting. read more

Visiting from Toronto and once again not disappointed ! Highlights and a great cut for my thin hair ! I recommend making appointments in advance clean friendly salon ! read more

I found the owner very rude! Although I think she did a good job on my hair she was very rough while working. She told me it was my job to hand her the foils. Although I didn't mind it was the presentation! My previous Aveda Salon provide the color recipe that I've been using for years. But continually talked badly about the other place. That they weren't a true aveda salon and that they didn't do my highlight correctly. At the end she did not want to dry my hair because it's curly and takes some time. I've never experienced this at other salons before! I've gone in a couple other time to get products and buy a sweatshirt. She was rude both times. The last time she screamed at me that my dog could not come in because her dog was there. I wasn't bring him in. I was with my granddaughter to get her a sweatshirt. No need to scream at me. I can buy products on line and drive 2 hours back to my previous salon. I won't spend my money at a place that makes me feel like I'm in her way. Poor customer experience! read more

I was extremely pleased with my experience at Monet Salon. It was my first time there. The salon is clean and bright and airy. Julie, the owner was very efficient and I felt like she was really seeing my hair, not just working on it. She offered some great suggestions. She's also warm and friendly and delightful to spend some time with. I was very happy with my final result. read more

I have gone to this salon since it first opened and have never gone anywhere else since! The owner has amazing customer service as well as the other stylist. Highly recommend this salon for a good color session they know what they are doing. Not only is it an amazing salon but it's perfect for a walk to the beach after with your new hair. 10/10 love coming here for the full experience. Sells Aveda products which is also a plus. read more

I happened to drop in at Monet and met Julie and Coleen to inquire about lightning my nearly black hair. Colleen was very upfront and let me know what the possibilities were. Colleen did a wonderful job in taking my nearly black hair to an ash grey with silver highlights. I'm really happy with.the result. I was so happy I went back and got my hair cut by Colleen. My hair turned out wonderfully and the cut accentuated the highlights even more. I highly recommend the salon, both Colleen and Julie are really nice. read more

I have been a client of Julie Monet for many years , and have sent her many referrals because she is an excellent stylist and consistently goes out if her way to ensure that her customers are well taken care of.

You won't go wrong to put yourself in the hands of an Aveda stylist at Monet's well-run salon. Relax, let yourself be pampered, and leave looking beautiful! read more

My hair turned out exactly as we had discussed! I highly recommend Julie and Monet Salon. Great experience, will definitely be back! read more

I have been going to Monet Salon for a few years now. Julie the owner is very knowledgeable, professional, safe and clean. Its satisfying to know that when I walk in the door, Julie pretty much knows what hair color works for me and cut works best for me. I have never been disappointed. Thank you Julie and Monet Salon, I will always support!! read more

Julie is an exceptionally talented hair dresser! She has been cutting my hair for ten plus years. When I was recovering from a serious illness, she came to my house (a 40 min drive each way) three times to shampoo and cut my hair. It was an amazing gift to me! Monet Salon is a lovely place - clean, fresh, airy, and light! I highly recommend Julie and Monet Salon! read more

Julie has been doing my hair for fifteen years, both cuts and color. She is the owner of Monet Salon and has many years of experience as a colorist, stylist and business owner. She works exclusively with Aveda and is extremely knowlegable about their products. The salon is spacious, clean, and in a beautiful location in Capitola village. During the pandemic, Julie has strictly followed CDC guidelines, and her salon always feels safe and sanitary. Why have I seen Julie exclusively for fifteen years? Because she's the best in town. Don't hesitate... read more

Decent cut. Owner was nice until I realized she was flat ironing my hair without any wash/prep products. I mentioned my hair was not prepped for a flat iron and she said one time wouldn't hurt it. But I know my hair and unfortunately it did. So I walked out of the salon not getting any of the nutrient hair benefit of Aveda products which was a major component of why I chose an Aveda salon. And now I have to pay someone else to treat my hair to make it healthy again. Such a bummer. I really wanted to like this place but i felt rather unheard, a little bullied and because of that did not get the cut I wanted. read more

Love this salon! Great service, I love the Aveda products. The shampoo and conditioner is the best I have ever purchased. Go check this place out read more

Convenient location with parking. Easy scheduling on-line. Competitive pricing. Quality, professional service. I began my experience in need of a wedding up-do and continue to patronize for Monet's high quality cuts. read more

Julie Monet of Monet Salon in Capitola is a great hairdresser. She has cared for my hair for over 30 years. I have such faith in her abilities that I trust her completely with my haircuts, color and highlights. I have naturally curly hair and not all hairdressers can deal with that but Julie always makes it look great! She has done a wonderful job during COVID ensuring all the proper protocols are in place and followed. The salon is clean and bright with lots of windows. I always enjoy the time I get to spend with Julie at Monet Salon. read more

I had my very first haircut here with Julie herself. She is so sweet and kind and knew exactly what I wanted. I just showed her a few pictures and explained it to her and she got it right. I loved the complimentary aroma therapy before she cut my hair. I will definitely keep coming here. read more

Julie did an excellent job, super professional and knowledgeable, will definitely return

Janine is new to the salon absolutely incredible! I love my new summer weave highlights. Her attention to detail & really listening to my hopes for the color/style, and also her time in educating me about the process, were very all helpful and appreciated. Happy to be at such a great Salon with Amaaaazing Aveda products, and an evening more amazing stylist! Julie is awesome too! read more

Julie has an incredible eye for color and style. I'm real happy with the transformation from colored brown hair to my natural (now) gray. She did a great job blending the old and new over a relatively short period of time. read more

Julie and Avery are both wonderful and talented hairstylists! Great with both cuts and color and getting it just right to where I feel confident with a new style. Lovely ambiance, great location and friendly service! read more

Monet salon remains the best salon I've been to, but especially now. Their procedures to keep only a few inside at one time along with the level of disinfecting that is done between clients keeps me safe while making me beautiful! I drive over from San Jose every month because Julie is the only colorist who I can trust my hair to. read more

Eric opened up early just so I could get my hair done, since I work in the village and we run the same open and close times! He did an amazing job and was the first haircut I've had in 2 years that I wasn't a sad day! I've got really long hair so I always worry, but he worked with me and the pictures I brought in to create a style that worked and was easy to manage for me. I even picked up some hair care product that was super SUPER reasonable for only $14 what a steal! read more

Not a good experience. My partner and I were treated very rudely by the owner when entering the business. During my haircut I was constantly reminded by her asking where my partner was which led to a very uncomfortable experience. Won't be coming back read more

I love Monet Salon! The owner, Julie, has styled my hair several times. She listens to what I want, she takes her time and is so meticulous. I end up with the perfect cut every single time!

Was SO pleased with my cut and color! I just moved here and was a bit nervous about letting a new person color my hair and was anxious while the color was setting. Julie kept saying "trust me, I've been doing this for 15 years!" She was tight! She got the color perfect and I love it. The service and conversation was awesome and I look forward to coming back in a few months for a trim and touch up. read more

5 stars for Monet Salon Capitola. Julie was so sweet, I left a message and she called me right back. The salon is very clean and bright. Everything is sanitized for COVID. I went in with super long hair and left with a shoulder length blunt cut that I absolutely love. Thank you Julie. read more

A warm, friendly, professional salon in the heart of Capitola! I've been a client of Julie's for over ten years and always leave feeling so much better than when I walked in. Julie and her staff are always accommodating, current and fun. I've always been impressed with their knowledgeable approach and their honesty. I've seen Julie work magic with very damaged over processed hair and have never heard her promise something she can't deliver on. Julie and her staff know the Aveda product line thoroughly and can offer advice backed up by experience. The salon is always spotless and upbeat so 5 stars hands down! read more

Julie is a true master at her craft! I really love her haircuts, her customer service, the location and her salon is beautiful!

My hair experience was the worst! The stylist put product in my hair without my approval, saying that she was going to get rid of any unnecessary color in my hair. The result was not what I wanted, changed the color of my hair and hi-lights, and I left with dull and dried out hair. The owner was insulting to me multiple times...saying things to me like: "what's the problem, just wash your hair a few times and the product will fall out." Who talks to their customers like that?? I was treated with so much disrespect. I was insulted in multiple ways from the owner! How can this be an Exclusive Aveda Salon? read more

Monet Salon is exactly what I needed today! A scalp massage with Aveda oil, haircut and blow dry/style! Best products ever! Don't forget to try the tea while you are there-very tasty! read more

My experience at Monet was very good...my hair is fine and cannot take texturing shears and Missy was accommodating to me and gave me a great cut. Very happy and definitely will go there again read more
