I went to see Diana for the first time yesterday after reading that she is particularly adept at dealing with curly hair. I'm so glad I did...I have been to quite a few stylists before who said they were good with curly hair, even one who had the Deva training, but not one of them gave me an education on how to deal with my curls at home. Diana told me things I've never heard before and even sent me home with a cheat sheet. My hair went from an untamed lion's mane to a cute curly cut that makes me smile when I look in the mirror...I haven't felt that way in ages. She also didn't put pressure on me to buy products, which I greatly appreciate. I have a new hair stylist!!! read more

Susanna was such a pleasure to work with for my wedding hair. I scheduled hair styling for myself, my mom, and five bridesmaids. I greatly appreciate how Susanna comes on site to where you are getting ready for your wedding, as this created a fun and relaxed atmosphere for the bridesmaids. Susanna did a great job and everyone was happy with their hair. She was also very helpful with planning the schedule for getting ready. read more

Devin was so helpful! She did my hairdo last minute for an event. Thank you Devin! I recommend.

Stylists listen, consults are great, vibe is fun (love the Nico print), and my hair always comes out fantastic! Love that you can book silent appointments with Devin, and that they're ready for literally any edgy style and color challenge. The only reason I can't give a full five star is that the salon itself isn't really made for someone larger than a size 18. The salon chairs are vintage and oh so uncomfy if you're gifted in the booty department, or have back issues. The whole place is wheelchair accessible though!! If/when the salon chairs modernize, it's a 10/10 for me! read more

Salon Beija Vu - Deep red and a shag blow out! - Hair Salons Near Me - Monterey, California

Susanna is a truly amazing hairstylist. She was so gentle with my hair, even throughout the detangling process. As she washed, cut, and styled my hair, she told me what she was doing and checked with me before doing anything. At other salons, getting my hair washed can be an uncomfortable experience for me sometimes, but Susanna went out of her way to ensure that I was as comfortable as possible each step of the way, providing extra towels for my neck and checking if I was okay. When it came time to style my hair, I showed her a photo of how she styled it the previous time and she recreated it perfectly, spending extra time to add gorgeous waves. My hair was beautifully bouncy, voluminous, and healthy by the end of our appointment. I always feel so confident and refreshed after visiting Salon Beija Vu, and this will definitely be my go-to hair salon on the Monterey Peninsula for years to come! The salon itself has a beautifully-decorated interior, and it is on one of the cutest streets in downtown Monterey. There are many unique art/antique pieces in the salon, a beautiful chandelier, and big windows that let in plenty of natural light. It feels like a movie set! read more

Suzanne took care of me and I had to post my gratitude. I have been so buy traveling last month that when I walked out this morning, I didn't realize how bad my grays were until I was leaving the house to drive here (btw..it's a 7 hr drive!). & my aunt pointed out how bad the grays were... Too late to take care of it & didn't want to risk the store bought stuff, as soon as I arrived, I called around but checked Yelp for recommendations. 3 places I called couldn't take me...so I tried one more place & Suzanne told me to come in. You see, I don't need anything else- no drying or styling, just gray coverage. Suzanne took the time to look through my hair, get the right color, and was up front that she has an appt coming in 1/2 hr and I would have to wait...No problem. Color was on..I waited while she tended to her appt, then it was time to rinse. I was out by 6pm.. Thank you Suzanne....And after I checked in with Yelp, I got 20% off my hair color.!! Now that's what I call customer service!! If you are in need of some TLC for your hair, book your appointment here. And if you happen to be here on a Tuesday, you'll be treated to the open market full of local veggies, fruits, and delicious hot meals. read more

Great service! Very precise as to make sure it was what I wanted! Definitely worth the time and money! Friendly and a great place I would recommend to anyone who wants a nice haircut from people who know what they're talking about! Susanna worked on my hair and I loved her! Social and cut my hair just like the picture I showed her! Coming here for major haircuts again! read more

Salon Beija Vu - Before and after. Susanna's expertise work done!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Monterey, California

I've been getting my hair done with Diana for over 15 years. She is amazing, has a great instinct and blows me away every time! Cut and color are hands down the best and I lived in New York so I've had some experience in the chair. Just recently got highlights with Susanna for the first time, and again I was amazed. They are consistent, professional, and trendy. Always up on the current styles and they are not afraid to get crazy, while still great at keeping it classy. Highly recommended. read more

Susanna is AMAZING!! Aside from giving me the perfect cut/color/highlights; she actually listens and is a sweetheart! My hair was a bit disastrous, way too many blended colors, split ends and shaggy bangs. Susanna evened out the color, added subtle highlights and gave me the bangs I've been trying to describe to stylists for years. SO happy with my hair. I will definitely be going back. Everyone in Beija Vu is wonderful, such nice employees, but Susanna is definitely my new go-to stylist. read more

I love Salon Beija Vu. Diana really knows how to take a concept and apply it to your hair in the best way possible. I never go in with an exact plan as to what I want to do with my hair, but I always leave with something creative and well crafted. The Salon itself has really awesome art pieces hanging on the walls, and it has a very fresh look. It reminds of a hair salon you might find in a big city -- unique, and artsy. I cannot end this review without mentioning the best part.... essential oil massages. Enough said? I am pretty picky about who does my hair, and I have visted a lot of salons in Monterey. This one is seriously worth checking out! read more

I am fairly new to the area and have been reading reviews to see which salon to go to for a haircut and gloss and Beija Vu had really good reviews. Now I know why!! Chelsea was my hair stylist and she picked out a gorgeous color for the gloss and I love the way she cut my hair! I have really long, straight hair and it was nice to keep some of the length but take some of the weight off and add layers. All in all, I am 100% happy with the service and the atmosphere at Beija Vu! Its small so it feels like you have your own personal stylist and their complete attention. My cut and color was more than I am used to spending but it was worth every penny. I will definitely be a returning customer. Side note: parking near the salon is 1 hour during the week, so I recommend parking in the garage or there are some 2 hour parking a few blocks away to avoid Monterey's $35 parking tickets :) read more

Susanna does it again! I love her customer service and her hair cuts! Always making my hair pretty and feeling great!! read more

I am in LOVE with this salon! Susanna is amazing- did such a beautiful job with my hair. (And that's saying a lot because I hadn't had it done in s year!) She even cut my 10 year old's hair and my daughter now only wants to go to her- she was so great with her! The whole salon is so inviting, everyone there is so kind. Great place!!! read more

Susanna is amazing! I moved to Monterey about a year and a half ago, I first came in to see Susanna around that time frame and she did a great job on my curly hair. I went back today and she gave me a great dry cut and added some products and lift. My hair looks great! I told her I wanted to use clips to bring some volume to my hair and she went out of her way to show me how to use the clips and gave tips while she did it. Love her and love the salon! read more

Susanna is awesome! She did my hair for my wedding. I'm not from the area so it was my first time to go to her, and she did an incredible job. My hair turned out even better than I had imagined, and it was a very reasonable price. I highly recommend her. Thanks so much Susanna! read more

Love this place! I had tried a few places in town but hadn't found anyone who met my needs so I would drive to my home town to get my hair done until I met DAISY! She is a great listener and just the most amazing hair stylest I have ever met. She totally transformed my hair and honestly made me look several years younger...I was stuck on the same look and she helped me try something new. If your looking for a professional who knows hair and makeup DAISY is your girl! Hands down best in town!!!! read more

Susanna gave me an awesome Devacut! The salon is in a great location, cute and clean, and Susanna just seems like an awesome person. Highly recommend booking with her for a deva cut or any hair service! read more

So being new to the area, and an avid Yelp user, I though I would give this salon a try. After meeting with Daisy, I immediately felt like she knew what she was doing and was well informed. She was able to schedule my cut and color appointment within a few days of the initial consultation. After highlighting my hair for years, I wanted to go to my natural color. She weaved in the correct lowlights, and I just let her run with it. Not only is she great at what she does, she takes any anxiety out of doing it. The salon is welcoming, has very nice staff I love my new look. Thank you Daisy for the amazing hair. You are a pleasure to be around and I look forward to seeing you soon! read more

I recently moved to Monterey and was desperately seeking a salon that could cater to my curly hair - I love my curly hair but as people with curly hair know, it can be dry and frizzy which would often leave me either pulling it back or using a flat-iron to make it more manageable. I was on Yelp checking out salons and happened by the reviews for Salon Beija Vu. Every review was positive and even more important, a woman who had a similar hair texture as mine, RAVED about the services she received and how beautiful her hair was following her appointment. With all the positive affirmations, I scheduled an appointment with Michael and am very happy to report that I REALLY LOVE MY CURLY HAIR NOW!!! Michael is the absolute best! He listened to my concerns and offered a professional opinion based on that information. He literally "schooled" me about my hair and the best ways to enhance my natural curl pattern. He patiently explained what to do and what not to do with respect to curly hair. I left the salon feeling FABULOUS and confident about styling my hair between appointments! I strongly recommend this salon for anyone - straight or curly hair (while I was there another customer with straight hair was having her hair done as well and it looked equally great!). They really care about their clients and they really personalize your experience. And Michael has become my new best friend - love him!!! I have found my salon!!! read more

Susanna did my hair for my wedding and she was AMAZING! She was sweet and kind and allowed me the space to voice an opinion about how she was doing my hair throughout the whole process so that we could get it just right. She took photos of the hair after the trial run to keep a record and the day of the wedding, she did an immaculate job!! I highly recommend her and Salon Beija Vu. I also get my hair cut there (I have curly hair) and they do the diva style dry cut and it is amazing. So all around I have not one complaint or issue. This salon and Susanna are great! read more

On my first visit I met with Michael and he patiently listened while I explained that I wanted a stylish and edgy new look but did not want to spend too much time styling my hair every day. The result was amazing! He not only gave me a completely awesome new look but also went above and beyond by cutting my hair in a way that would allow me to keep it curly or straight without much effort at all. In the past, I have had a lot of trouble finding someone who understands the nature of thick and wavy hair that resembles a lion's mane when left unkempt. The fact that he was able to transform my hair in such a dramatic way is incredible. He also took into account the fact that my bangs would grow back soon and made sure to cut them in a way that would allow me to work with them through their awkward stage. I will definitely be going back! read more

I had been meaning to check this place out for some time. On a lunch break, I came by and made a hair appointment with misty marie cates. I have super curly hair so it was important to me that someone could appreciate that and make my curls, CURL! Misty is the woman. She has a very easy-going style and I left feeling pampered, and happy with my healthy head of curls!!! She also does make-up and hair color. I've already marked on my calendar when to make the next appointment! Can't wait!! She is rockin! read more

Susanna just gave me and my dry winter hair so much TLC--I feel great, and my hair looks and feels fabulous now. She really took the time to figure out how to bring my hair back to health again, and she gave me exactly the cut I wanted. The salon is lovely: small, cute, cozy, and relaxing. A great experience with very fair prices. read more

Chelsea did an outstanding job coloring my hair (high and low lights). She listened very well to what I wanted and gave some suggestions. I love the results! The place is small, but very nice. They offer water or tea upon checking in. The staff is very nice and always smiling so that gives you good vibes. Easy to make an appointment; I think I had to wait only a week. It is pricey, but you will get what you paid for and it is worth it. I moved here to GA and now I can't find any good place where to get my hair done. Sucks!!! read more

Susanna is truly amazing! Color + Cut= On point. So so happy with her service and amazing skills. Thank you!!!!! I love my hair

I really like this place...this is my Monterey Bay Salon for sure

I just had a fantastic curated curly cut (DevaCurl style) by Susanna with Diana consulting with her. I wanted to keep my length but needed to revive my hair, which is tricky, as you know if you have curls, if you cut an inch you loose five in curl up. Susanna was meticulous, did a micro-cut, one curl family at a time! These ladies know what they are doing and the salon is super cute. I'm thrilled to have found them! Bravo! read more

Susanna is awesome and my hair looks great! This will be my new go to spot to get my hair done! Thank you!

First visit today and I'm very pleased. Susannah gave me a great cut and color, and she was extremely pleasant. She took great care with the color to assure I would receive what I asked for. The salon itself is chic and cozy. read more

Lovely little salon with personable service and affordable prices. Very happy to have chanced upon this place!

Susanna did an amazing job on my hair today. Color and cut fantastic. Love my new stylist.

I really loved my hair the way it was but it needed some upkeep, so I headed over to Salon Beija Vu. I was very straightforward with the stylist, saying what I wanted very specifically multiple times, and thought we were on the same page when we talked and when she cut the initial length off where I could see it in the mirror. Unfortunately by the time I left my hair was completely different, shorter with a style I had said really wouldn't work with the type of hair I have. Over the last week it has proven nearly impossible to shape into anything not resembling a poufy mess. The stylist also gave me hard time about my general appearance, making me feel like everything I was doing in terms of beauty management were wasted and wrong. Like many others out there I have my share of self-confidence issues, but my hair made me feel pretty and good about myself. I know that hair grows and that this isn't the end of the world, but I feel heartbroken. I've lost a part of myself that always made me happy and was part of my identity, and it has been very difficult. Obviously I don't expect a salon to give or take away my sense of self-worth, that's something I need to work on myself. But, as the person who has possessed the hair for decades and knew what I needed for it, I would have really loved to be listened to. It seems like lots of other people really enjoy this salon and for that I'm glad, but I won't be going back there. read more

I am beyond pleased with Salon Beija Vu!!! Walked in with crazy frizzy hair and when I walked out no joke my HAIR looked AMAZING!!! Right out of a magazine. I never knew what my curly hair was capable of! Michael my hairdresser was an awesome, and positive sweetheart! He was extremely knowledgeable and wasn't pushy trying to sell me product. Major plus! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! Can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

I just had a "deva cut" with Michael...it's the best hair cut I have ever had! I was looking for a change, I have long naturally curly hair and was wanting something different. He cut off 10 inches and I couldn't be more happy with the way it looks. It's the first time I didn't have that "omg, what did I just do" feeling. I couldn't wait to get home to show it off. He also explained how to style my hair and the head and neck massage was fabulous. I thought the price was fair, especially because he really took his time. 5 stars for Salon Beija Vu! read more

It's such a treat to come and get my hair done at Salon Beija Vu. I have had many haircuts and all kinds of hair color and I have been ecstatic every time. If you get just a haircut, they do an essential oil relaxing scalp massage that is such a nice addition to the service. I always leave feeling like a new me! read more

I have been going to Beija Vu for almost 2 years and absolutely love it! Susanna works her magic on me every time, leaving me with hair even better than I had imagined! I have truly never received so many compliments on my hair...Thank you for always making me look amazing! I would hands down recommend to anyone looking for a fabulous experience! read more
