I love Positive Parlor Aveda Salon!! My stylist was Lalli. She took great care of my hair and listened to what I wanted, no rush!! I felt very pampered. She applied the color I wanted. The Aveda three step botanical treatment was the best with Lalli giving an exceptional head massage, I felt so relaxed. Lalli knew how to blend my grays with the color so it looked natural, and I wouldn't have to go in as often to touch up!! She worked magic!! Positive Parlor lives up to its name with great vibes, clean and cute interior, nice stylists very calm atmosphere. Good people!!! Looking forward to returning soon to get pampered and looking my best!!! read more

Excellent salon! Booked a few weeks in advance for a blowout for an event and everything was amazing: location, price, service, atmosphere, and Sophia was extremely sweet and a true master. Highly reccomend! read more

This review is for Deena I had an event and she listened to me--my last minute requests an all (I can be quite particular) and my hair ended up looking fabulous. If you have a time constraint communicate it upfront--I did and she was accommodating! I walked into my event feeling like a bad ass bitch! read more

Had a haircut with Citlali today and it was probably the best haircut I've ever gotten!! As a new mom, I'd been feeling pretty down about my hair lately and she really brought me back to my old self. I loved the way she styled it too. Will definitely be back! read more

Very poor service & customer service that followed when there was a problem. Was offered a credit of $40 for a service that was not received (did not receive the shampoo/conditioning w/ the men's haircut that was purchased for my teenage son), but when I tried to redeem it was only offered $10 by the owner. Will no longer be patronizing this business read more

Makayla is wonderful. I started here seeing Sophia and she moved away. While I was nervous at first seeing someone new, I am so thankful I stayed and gave her my trust. She is awesome! Always takes the time to listen to what I want, seeks feedback and takes her time to ensure my cut or color is perfect! She is very talented and professional. I am thankful for her and her skills!!! read more

Love this place! They were quick to book us, prices are reasonable, and they are lovely individuals. My son loves his haircut and they brought out a confidence in him I've never seen. Thank you so much! read more

Got my hair blown out here a couple times while visiting the area. Friendly stylists and they did a great job!

It was my pleasure to go to a hair salon with "positive" in its name. I went for the first time and got a haircut from Billie, who was terrific! I love my haircut, and will be back for sure. I also did enjoy the positive vibe. What a welcome addition to our neighborhood! read more

I had my hair and makeup done by Sophia this weekend for a black-tie work function, and it could not have been a better experience. Not only was Sophia super kind and listened to exactly what I wanted, she worked my with natural features to make everything stand out in a very subtle but glamorous way. The salon itself is so relaxing, and I didn't feel like it was my first time at the new location (which is adorable and has so much parking near!). I'll absolutely be back again! read more

I had had been looking for a nearby place to have a nice relaxing facial and I booked with Katie. I was greeted and acknowledged at the salon, and Katie came for me shortly thereafter. She was kind, thoughtful and calming throughout, never rushed or rough. The facial was bliss - heated table, nice & warm. My treatment included arm & hand massage and a bit of neck & shoulder too. A lot of estheticians do this bit as an afterthought, but Katie made it a very relaxing experience and took her time. How could she know I love to have my hands worked on? Perfect day! read more

I had been looking for a nice, clean, charming local hair salon for months with lots of dissatisfied visits to other places in town. I was recommended Positive parlor from a friend. Super cute, clean, simple salon. The staff are welcoming and caring. They use aveda products as well as some others. The team members I have met 3 already- are super pleasant and talented and are good at what they do. Living in Monterey, I understand costs are high- but this place posts their prices on their website- they Do offer a military discount for those that qualify- you know what you are paying for and its very reasonable and absolutely comparable in quality and price toevery other salons that I was a loyal patron of in Texas, Northern Virginia, Alabama, and Germany. I typically have coloring and highlights done with cut and style. After my first visit, I have now been there 4 times- I would say I am a loyal patron of Positive parlor while we are living in Monterey -and continue to recommend friends, colleagues, and new arrivals to this location for a fabulous hair experience. read more

Was able to walk in and get an appointment. Allanis was WONDERFUL! She was very professional and did a beautiful updo! Thank you for your kindness. We stumbled upon this hair boutique and will come back here again!!!! after attempting to go to another local salon and being turned away, this place was a gem! read more

Thank you Kenna Today's facial was the best we have had. We will definitely be seeing you again. read more

I had a "High Maintenance" wash and haircut with Krystyne and could not be more pleased! Krystyne is a true professional, taking the time to listen to everything I wanted and didn't want in a new hairstyle. She is a delight to talk with and gave me exactly the haircut I had wanted. Positive Parlor is a very cute, stylish salon with a fun atmosphere and excellent prices. I was very pleasantly surprised when I was told there is a 20% discount for new clients and another discount if you decide to reschedule your next appointment there. I definitely rescheduled! read more

First time/new client here and from the moment I walked in, Katie greeted me with a warm welcoming hello. I booked a last minute appointment, 90 minute facial with Katie to relax and de-stress. And let me tell you, she did not disappoint. She made every minute count and it was so worth it! Her facials are amazing and so relaxing that I'm sure I dozed off a few times. I've gotten lots of facials before and from different places. She is by far one of the best if not the best! I love the vibe in her room and how she tells you with gentle voice what she's putting on your face. Definitely recommend Katie (aesthetician) and I will be back for more facials and other services they offer. Thank you for opening Positive Parlor! read more

Wow !!!! So excited that I had to post a review right away after leaving. I love the decor, the music, and the positive vibe!!! Got the blowout and while at it, decided to get a haircut and a masque treatment. The whole experience was great. While I don't have photos, I hope you can hear in the post of how excited I am for the end results and to have found this place. Thank you so much, Krystyne!!! Not everyone can handle different types of hair and I can say, you mastered it.. I will, most certainly, be back!!! read more

Wow, just wow! We were in town for a wedding and decided to give this salon a try and we're thrilled with the results. We are already planning a trip back and make this our permanent salon. Can't wait to add a facial from Katie, she recommended a few products that we purchased and they are exactly what we wanted. Thank Positive Parlor, everything was way above our expectations! read more

I got a haircut and blowout from Alize this morning and she was great..... gave me what I asked for and actually listened while I was telling her what I wanted to change about my hair. Also, this girl was fun to be around and had good conversation (not too much not too little)... had a good time chatting with her. Had a cut and blowout in an hour, great timing! read more

Alize is ah-maz-Ing. Came in with photos and high hopes and left so happy!!! And Katie who runs the front desk sets such a good vibe! read more

McKenna does an incredible job. From waxing to facials to scalp massages. She is so talented. Very professional, friendly and extremely knowledgable in skin care. I will only be working with McKenna going forward and am going to be sure to schedule every month. I have been so relaxed that I have fallen asleep on the table more than once. She has never disappointed and I look forward to my next appointment. read more

I came here to get a blow out and hair style for a family photoshoot. Alize did my hair and I cannot express how much I love it! The parlor is super cute. Alize was wonderful! She was very friendly, explained everything each way. She gave me a wonderful head massage. My hair looked and felt AMAZING after! The price is also super affordable. 20% off for first time customer. Everyone at the salon was super nice and friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

Hidden Gem! Such a great place~I had an updo for a wedding and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Really nice that they have on-line scheduling and offer a discount for first time customers. It's a really cute, comfortable salon with lots of great natural light and a very cool vibe. Definitely recommend!! read more

This is the new best thing in Seaside! I got a facial from Katie & I have to say, she is straight magic. The ambiance starts it, the products are top shelf & Katie is wonderful. She knowledgeable & explains what happening. I also had a keratin treatment blowout with Erika & let me tell you, I walked in with wild, unruly, frizzy curls & walked out with my hair the straightest & silkiest it has ever been! I promise you you will not be disappointed!! read more

I went here for an eyelash lift and tint, which I love because mine were so straight and blonde you couldn't see them! I gave up on mascara years ago. I was so happy with Kenna and my results! She also went ahead and tinted my eyebrows for me which I also love because now I don't have to draw them in everyday. I will definitely be going back to see her regularly! read more

The Positive Parlor is a very cute, retro and unique beauty parlor that is not like many others that I've seen before. They have a wide variety of different services as well a cute selection of clothing and accessories. Definitely a one stop shop! My husband and I went in for facials this past weekend and the experience could not have been better! This was by far the best facial I have ever had. Katie is great! She made sure to use products that would best suit our skin type, she explained what each product was for as she applied them (without us even asking, love that!), and she overall just made our experience great by making us feel so comfortable and relaxed. My husband loved the experience as well, he was so relaxed that he ended up falling asleep haha. We left the parlor with our skin glowing! I definitely noticed a difference right away especially when I apply make up. We will definitely be returning soon! read more

Went here for a facial a few weeks ago and I loved the way I looked and felt after so I decided to go back again. I scheduled with Mckenna and the vibes and facials were amazing. She was very gentle and made sure I was comfortable. Towards the end of the facial she gives a shoulder massage and thats one of my favorite parts of the whole thing. I highly recommend her!! read more

I have gone at least 5 separate times with both of my daughters along with myself always had wonderful experience haircuts and blow dry. 100%recommend read more

This place is awesome! A little hidden but if you are lucky you will find it. Katie is very professional and experienced. I got a Brazillian wax from her and it was one of the best I have had. No pain. Very information as to what she is doing and the room is super cute. read more

I got the 90 minute facial and it was heavenly, but why I'm writing this is because of the results. I've never had a facial where I saw such a dramatic change the day after. My skin texture and glow was so different and I can't say how much I would recommend trying this place. The woman who does the facials (Katy? Sorry forgot at the moment) is awesome. So attentive, so knowledgeable, and you can feel she knows what she's doing. I also hate when I get a facial and it's not relaxing but I left felling like I had drifted off, woke up, and was fully in a blissful state. I have already signed up for a facial next month:). read more

So glad I decided to visit Positive Parlor! After a few failed attempts to get my eyelashes lifted at a few salons in the area I finally found a home! It's such a welcoming vibe. Katie was so kind and professional! She talked me through all the steps and even helped with a few skin problems/concerns I was having. Her work space is very clean and super cute! She had Sabrina Claudio on while I was waiting and I knew I had to come back. I am also considering getting my hair cut from either of the hair dressers as well. read more

I totally loved my trip to Positive Parlor. It's adorable, fresh, and fun! Kate was amazing. She was gentle, warm and so respectful of my product sensitivities. I loved how she offered tips with zero pressure to buy anything. My facial was so relaxing I'm pretty sure I had my first out of body experience! I left glowing and totally mentally rejuvenated. I am going back. read more

I absolutely love this beautiful positive parlor! I was in awe the moment I walked it! Erika did such an amazing job on my blow out. My hair was soooo soft and silky. Keep in mind it was my first blow out and I didn't know what to expect, let me tell you It was definitely more than I expected! My hair wash was so relaxing that I took a little nap! My time went by so fast because I couldn't stop talking when my blow out was being done, Erika has the best personality thats it makes you just want to stay there all day because you have that much fun! They have such cute jewelry, beautiful bags and such elegant clothing. I couldn't resist I had to buy a cute clutch when I wanted to buy the store! read more

Wow I am so amazed at how amazing this place is. Erika did such a great job on my blowout today. Loved how my hair looked and felt afterwards, I can't remember the last time my hair felt so smooth, and not to mention what a sweetheart Erika is, very joyful and so talented! Absolutely love her! I have been to so many beauty parlors and none compare to this one. I will definitely be returning! read more

I was a little nervous to try a new salon, but I wow am I glad I took a chance! I had the High Maintenance haircut with Krystyne and I have never been happier with haircut. She knew exactly what I trying to go for, and then improved on it so much! She really listened. She was also lovely to talk to and is clearly a special person. Also, she gave me the most relaxing scalp massage during the Aveda shampoo. I was in heaven. I am so glad to see all of the other reviews are so good, but I am not surprised! Positive Parlor and Krystyne are gems! read more
