Best Hair Salons In Monterey

“Amy absolutely saves and slays my hair every time! She is the most experienced hair dresser that I know and coming to her is always my favorite thing to do. She is very on top of what’s best for your hair and what it needs to look it’s best. I could not recommend her enough!“

“Needed a haircut last minute and thankfully Noel had a spot open. Blessing in disguise as it was one of the best haircuts I've ever had, definitely ask for him if you go here!“

“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.“

“Awesome place. Lively, friendly, atmosphere with very talented professional stylists.“

“Harmony is the best!!
5 years and staying loyal

When I first saw Harmony, I was worried it would take a few cuts to get my hair the way I like (I have a lot of hair and what I ask for seems a bit drastic to most stylists who work on people with much thinner hair than myself). She did exactly what I wanted on the FIRST CUT (layered, thinned, tapered around my face) and it felt so good.

Fast forward to 5 years later, she still does exactly what I want, knows my hair so well, and always gives the best recommendations if I want to switch thing up slightly.

Her shop is so incredibly clean, the chairs and bowls they have for hair washing are the most comfortable I've ever experienced, her decor and plants make you feel like you're walking into a classy oasis where you come out more beautiful than you walked in, and it's always fun to chat and catch up.

If you're looking for your next home to get all of your hair needs met, Citizen Hair is THE place“

“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 :)“

“Ruth is very skilled, kind, and accommodating. She gave me a great cut and dye. She was very nice about using a mask without me asking her to when she saw I had a mask. She listened carefully to what I wanted and gave me great feedback and made some suggestions that were perfect. Really felt well taken care of. I highly recommend her to anyone.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“The most AMAZING hair transformation from Stacia Nicole Beauty. From the consultation to appointment day, Stacia made me feel so comfortable with her expertise and I knew right away that I was in good hands. It’s always a very special experience to have a stylist that you can trust 100% to give you the hair of your dreams. Cannot recommend enough, worth every penny.

Color, extensions, cut and style“

“I've been going to Rosie for several years, and she always does an excellent job. I usually get a cut and highlights.“

“I love my hair stylist at salon A!!!! Her name is April and she is amazing and delightful!!!!!!“

“Cherie is absolutely amazing with color and I am so glad I found this salon! The shop is also so cute and I love seeing what new things they get in each time I come in!“

“Amy is the only person I’ll trust to cut my hair in Monterey! I have thick curly hair and she always leaves me feeling beautiful! I asked her for shorter layers in the front which can be tricky with curly hair but it came out exactly how I was envisioning and everyone has not stopped complimenting my hair. I love how she always gives me solid hair tips and advice too! She’s a gem, go to her!! ??

Requested style: Shorter layers in the front“

“Jodi is awesome - my hair was in dire need of a color refresh. She was awesome at consulting with me before, during, and after. The color looks amazing“

“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.“

“Gina is the only stylist I will see. Not only does she do amazing color, she also helped me care for my hair to keep it healthy and gorgeous.“

“Just moved to Monterey and I have found my stylist. Shahin is perfect! She is flexible with your schedule and showed her passion all through my affordable cut and color. She is very experienced and it shows! I will be returning.“

“Wow! That is all i can say about my hair. I was blessed to be hooked up with Carrie as she transitioned to her new "home" at Gail's Salon (located at the Travelodge near the Monterey fairgrounds). She was so warm and friendly. Easy to discuss what I wanted. She listens and most importantly SHE DELIVERS! She is super skilled and talented. I showed her a pic of what i wanted in a cut, then in a color and she gave me the best result. My hair is a big chore for any stylist and her pricing was super reasonable. She is now my new hairstylist as i transition to living full time in Monterey.“

“Absolutely OBSESSED with how I feel after every appt with Jazmin. I stumbled upon her website when searching for extensions for my wedding day, and am unbelievably grateful I did. From consultation for a color match (which was done flawlessly and quickly) to my styling appt, Jazmin was savvy in her knowledge of hair care, so down to earth and fun to chat with, and her space is cleanly, cozy and cute! Jazmin walked me through maintenance to get the best life out of my extensions, had me laughing and gabbing the entire appt, and made sure I was confident in my purchase and prepping for my day of stylist. On my wedding day, I felt absolutely iconic, and so much of that is in thanks to Jazmin. I am a return client now, and make an appt anytime I want to feel my fiercest! ❤️‍? 1000/10 recommend, whether you are a newbie to glam & hair care like me, or just want to change up your look, Jazmin is your girl!“

“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.“

“Emily is such an incredible hairstylist! So patient, caring and really listens to what you want. Not only that, but she has the best ideas and suggestions- loving my hair so much more since been going to In Bloom! Highly recommend!!“
