Best Beauty Salons In Monterey

“I’ve only had 3 people in my 25 years cut my hair including this wonderful sweet human being. I am very picky with my cuts especially when it comes to layers since I have a lot of hair but it’s thin.

I also just moved to the area and spent a month looking for a good salon and she was worth the effort to find :) I am so glad I decided to trust her!

She did a wonderful job and made sure I got exactly what I asked for without risking too much of the length! (I asked for long layers, slight v shape, remove dead ends/trim, keep length as much as possible)

She doesn’t do online bookings since she’s the only one working so you’ll have to call! Also street parking only it seems like! She’s also booked and busy (for good reason) so book early!

She seems to take all kinds of payment methods. I used credit card when Venmo didnt work.“

“Luciana is the best. I have had these services done in many cities and all over Europe. Her service is the most professional and most pain free. Highly recommend. She doesn’t charge enough so make sure to tip her well!“

“I absolutely love getting my lashes done with virgie, she makes you feel so comfortable and safe when doing your lashes and does her absolute best to ensure you are getting something that suits you and something you like! she is the copy and paste queen of lashes inspo!“

“This is my favorite hair salon in Monterey County. It seems like everyone here does a great job. I've been going to Dominee for my haircuts and I've been very happy everytime. She's very talented. This salon is hip and cozy with a great vibe. If you're looking for a salon in the area, you should give vibe a shot. You won't be disappointed.“

“Heather is very professional and knowledgeable hair dresser 100% recommend she is very sweet :)“

“This has one of the most comfortable experience I've had getting my hair cut/ trimmed. This place feels more like your local hip coffee shop. The owner has designed it magnificently Last but not least Khammy my stylist is the most comfortable/safe person I've communicated to get hair cut the way you really want it. I've always switched stylist over the years but this one has got me. Thankful for all the staff“

“First time to this place. Ginger is a fellow neighbor of mine that I met during covid. I reached out to see if I could use her services. Have to say w/all of my frustration of dealing w/ horrible ✂️haircuts over the years I was putting my hands in yet another stylist. I went in looking for something new & short that wouldn't take much time to deal w/. I put my trust in her & let Ginger do her thing. Needless to say she talked w/ me as she went to discuss options. In the end we came up w/ something that I ?. It's simple, in style, sexy, age ?? fitting for lady like myself. She takes ?cash?or chk only & has a nice set up.“

“Elizabeth is, hands down, the best hairdresser I've ever had. Here are my top three reasons why: 3. When I was still coloring my hair, she used a vegetable dye color that kept my hair healthier and not stinky upon walking out of her salon. 2. The technique Elizabeth has used to cut my hair for the past 10 years keeps my hair looking great, despite the fact I have straight hair with weird waves. She works with my hair rather than against it. 1. Elizabeth is a pro and executes each hair treatment as an artist. She's clear and direct with her clients about what's best for their hair. I always leave Heads Up Hair Studio feeling great - cut, style, conversation, all top notch!“

“Susanna has been my stylist for several years. She has a great eye for coloring, as well as hairstyles. She is wonderful to work with because she listens and always makes it work. If you are looking for a new stylist, I recommend you check out Beija Vu.“

“Best nail place on the Monterey Peninsula!!! I have tried so many and hands down there is NO better place! Quality, artistry, friendliness and professionalism!! You will not be disappointed!!!“

“This salon is beautiful and my stylist, Kaitlin was the best!. She listened, asked lots of questions so she'd give me exactly what I wanted. Showed me how my hair would look with just a wash and dry, and how it looks styled. Just a wonderful experience ❤️. Won't go anywhere else.“

“Mei is sensational. Her attention to detail blew me away. We chatted about what options I had and gave me her input as well. I would highly recommend her! Best haircut I've ever gotten.“

“Best place to get your hair done! It just takes one time to try that place and you will always comeback!“

“Best lash studio I’ve ever been to. And I have explored a lot of options! Thank you Garnet Lash“

“We’ve been going to Alyssa for quite sometime now. My daughter loves to get her hair colored and Alyssa does an incredible job making her dream hair a reality! 10/10 recommend.“

“Natalie does my highlights that come out perfectly every time. She understands what I want and helps me achieve my hair goals.

The salon is filled with wonderful, warm, welcoming people. Lots of street parking available“

“Jila is the only person I trust with my hair, and is a lovely person as well.
Very fair prices, especially for this area.“

“Amazing service and eyebrow threading! Somehow I scheduled an appointment at a different location and when I arrived she was busy with another customer. She then said she could see me when she was done if I was able to wait. I waited maybe 10 minutes and she then did a beautiful job on my eyebrows. Thank you! Highly recommend.“

“I called Brandi to see if she would be able to "correct" my hair color and cut. I had been going to someone else for several years and over that time, my hair was becoming more and more brassy. Also, the cut was more choppy and was hard for me to style. Brandi took me in and did a consultation. She listened and carefully examined the situation. Then she went to work....
The results were amazing! I was hoping to find a stylist who "gets hair". Brandi definitely has a knack for color. My hair came out wonderfully and I have not felt this good about my hair in years! The cut will grow out well and Brandi gave me styling tips.
Brandi is very hard working and was a delight to meet.
If you are looking for someone that (pardon the pun) is a cut above all the rest-look no further!“

“They were amazing, my hair feels great and I loved talking to Mari! I think that was her name, but really nice :) Easy parking as well and didn't take too long. I'm definitely coming back.“
