    A "full highlight" at Oya.

    This was the first time I think I've ever left a salon coming in to touch up my roots and leaving with roots. So I came in for my roots as I have a full highlight. Not only was I there for five hours but my hair had an orange tint at the top from the stylist trying to lift it, and then the regular color of my roots that I had come in to get done. A two toned root. Nor did she even touch the back. The stylist told me herself she wasn't sure why she couldn't get my roots to lift. She said to call the salon so she could fix it that week. I got a call from the stylist, Marissa, saying the owner wanted me to pay to get it fixed. She said that she was going to fix it that day, and she was going to call with a time. I never got a call back. I called the salon back two hours later and told the owner about the situation, he said my stylist had left. (????) I was surprised as I was waiting for her to call me with a time to come in. So I was given another day to come in. The new day I was coming in, I got a call that it wouldn't work due to the weather being problematic. It's been two weeks now since the cancellation to fix my hair, so I sent a message to schedule. My message was left on read a few days ago. Here's a photo of my "full highlight". I'd rather not post my hair before this as it will show up on their photo reel. And that was not done by them.

    So I got my hair cut and treated by lily today. I wish I took a before and after picture because my hair was a MESS! Chemical breakage with different lengths everywhere and super dry. Also I told her I box dyed my hair 2 weeks prior and I got the keratin Straightening done on my hair. She took all this into consideration and adjusted my treatment. She suggested a treatment that starts with an "O" for $40 and my hair loved it! Then she cut and styled my hair for $55 (honestly the cut alone I would have paid double). She truly worked a miracle on my hair that I thought had no hope! Def, recommend Lily to any woman that thinks her hair is beyond hopeless. Tried to post an after pic but not sure if it's going through.

    I loved my experience here! I got the best haircut of my life about three weeks ago. I went on a fluke, and got lucky with a haircut from Brian. I left feeling like a whole new person. He talked me through how to do my hair on a daily basis, and had a lot of knowledge to share. He clearly has high standards for the salon, and I would trust anyone there. I will be returning!

    Excuse mascara under my eyes but this is after pic !

    I couldn't be happier with my transformation. Honestly Brian is simply an artistic genius that treats his clients like canvases . He innately knows what hair style and colors best. Trust him and his decisions you won't go wrong ! So fortunate to have such an advanced hair stylist and colorist genius in our area. Thank you SO MUCH!!!

    The secret oasis of the Monterey Bay! I came here and got my hair fixed by Bonnie! I use the term 'fixed' specifically because she is amazing. Before coming in I've never been to a salon. I've never really known how to take care of my hair, I kinda just winged it and hoped for the best. Bonnie is fantastic in both working with what YOU want and what SHE thinks you need. She suggested a dry shampoo and a fine hair shampoo for me that work amazingly well on my hair. The ambience of the salon is very upscale and LA-like. They serve wine to customers, so feel free to grab a glass while you have your hair done. The experience is almost more spa-like than anything else. A male trim came out to be $40, but I definitely spent $100 on product. But it was worth the cost. My hair looks great now and I've already booked my next appointment; once you come in once, bang trims are free for life. When you go in, make sure to ask for Bonnie! You can book online at their website even. But the constant here is ask for Bonnie, she's the one who did such a great job. I'm sure they're all great, but she really has put new life into my hair.

    Top Ten Reasons I recommend Evolve Salon specifically with Salma:…read more1. Extremely professional and respectful, on time and accurate with estimating how long services will take 2. Up to date on current trends, techniques and products 3. She prioritizes my comfort, and provides honest and kind recommendations for color, style and cut consistent with what will be best for my lifestyle, level of maintenance and desired look 4. She is a perfectionist in the best way. She will give the most precise A-line to ensure my weird side is balanced with my good side 5. If you don't want to talk she will respect that and not be chatty, but if you do want to talk she will keep and interesting dialogue going 6. She provides dates and times that work with my schedule, and lets me order take out from Pizza Heaven on a longer appointment 7. She recommends and uses hair care products that support my needs of sensitive skin such as armonía free color 8. She helps me feel like my best outwardly appearing self and was totally up for giving me purple hair - so many compliments 9. I can use ApplePay from my phone 10.

I mentioned I was getting ready for a special occasion and there was basically no conversation, energy, or effort to make the experience feel enjoyable or personalized. The styling itself also felt underwhelming. I was told my hair probably wouldn't hold, and only a very light amount of hairspray/product was used. Unfortunately, I left feeling like I could have achieved the same result at home myself. At this price point, I expected more attention to detail, warmth, and overall service.

    An Ode to Sammi Mount: The Artisan of Hair and Heart…read more In a world filled with stylists and salons, there are a rare few whose craft transcends aesthetics and becomes something deeply personal, transformative, even sacred. Sammi Mount is one such artist. To call her a hairdresser would be to simplify what she truly offers. She is a master colorist, a precision cutter, a visionary stylist, and most of all, a soul who pours her whole heart into every client she touches. I have entrusted my hair to elite stylists in Paris, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, global capitals of beauty and fashion. And yet none have come close to Sammi's level of artistry and care. I now travel and fly just to see her because once you have experienced her work, anything else feels like a compromise. She is without question the best I have ever had. Her color is otherworldly. Sammi does not just apply color, she understands light, tone, texture, and identity. Each highlight, lowlight, and blend is placed with intention, as though she is painting a living, breathing canvas. Her haircuts are sculptural yet effortless, tailored not only to your face but to your movement, your energy, your life. But what sets Sammi apart even beyond her technical brilliance is the soul she brings into her space. Her presence is grounding. Her kindness is palpable. Every appointment feels like a safe haven, a time not only to feel beautiful but to be heard. The conversations you have in her chair are as nourishing as the transformation itself. She listens with real curiosity, speaks with honesty and warmth, and somehow always knows just what you need, whether it is a bold new look or a quiet reset. As much as I would love to keep her a secret, to guard her name like a hidden gem only the lucky few know about, Sammi deserves to be celebrated. She is the best at what she does. She is meticulous, intuitive, soulful, and generous beyond words. Sammi Mount is not just a stylist. She is an experience. A ritual. A rare kind of artist whose work lingers far beyond the mirror and deep into the heart.

They are all very professional and I'm beyond lucky to be a customer of theirs. Last summer I accidentally bleached a chunk of my hair off and they let me come in on a very busy Saturday at the last moment and they were able to give me bangs and relayer my hair. 12/10 customer care and customer service.

I had made an appointment because I was used to making appointments months in advance at my last salon (I moved recently). It does not seem like appointments are necessary. The experience itself was lack luster - I got a wash, cut, and blow dry - which I find pretty standard. I found it odd that she didn't sit me down and take a look at my hair dry or ask me what I really wanted before taking me back, but every stylist is different. The wash was kind of rough, definitely not what I'm used to - which again, may just be a personal preference. The cut was simple - long layers. I told her where I parted my hair because she didn't ask but she told me she'd cut it center because it would look better that way and the part wouldn't matter (gentle foreshadowing - that made the cut look worse). When all was said and done I asked her to blend and soften the layers a little and she did, which I appreciated, but there just wasn't any saving the front - which is what I have to see every time I look in the mirror. The layers in the front on the side I part my hair to are short and harsh and just do not fall nicely. When it came to pay - cash only. Which, thank god I brought cash (maybe I missed something). The cut was $45 but the wash and blow dry was another 30. at that price point I would have been better off going to a Boujie salon for a much better experience and a little more money. Unfortunately I just don't think this is the salon for me. I'm so glad other people have such a great experience, but If you're looking for more relaxing salon vibes with the type of stylist to take the time to talk about what you like, I would not recommend coming here. In short id say this is Super Cut Quality with Fancy Salon Prices - just not worth it unfortunately.

The hair cut was between $80-$100 (can't remember exactly because I tipped) and it was not worth the price considering it was not a DevaCut. My hair has been splitting all the way up the shaft since this haircut, splitting so bad in ways my hair has never split before. There were also a couple strands that were randomly two inches longer than the rest of my hair in the back?? Again because she wasn't really looking, taking the time to section or check if she was cutting evenly. I do not recommend this place.
