Best Hair Salons In Monterey

“Big thanks and a shout out to Noel Estrada at Shear Addiction. Noel is a great guy and a fantastic barber. Always a pleasure to visit with him. Get a great haircut, have a good conversation, and be treated like family. Highly recommend the shop.

It's one of the few remaining barber shops in our county where you come in not only to get a haircut but also an old school much forgotten experience. It's an awesome atmosphere, super comfortable chairs, exceptionally friendly service, and knowledgeable barbers. These guys will take really awesome care of you and make you feel and look great. In case of Noel also share some life wisdom and experience if your conversation takes you there. It's a great spot and I highly recommend it.“

“Absolutely recommend!! I’ve known Amy for 5+ years, and when I first reached out to her back in 2020, she responded very quickly. She asked for pictures of my current hair and suggested we have an in-person consultation to match the best color to my hair and length, while also discussing my future hair goals.

During the consultation, she gave me several extension methods to choose from. She was very detailed and helpful when it came to choosing the proper method for me, as well as explaining the prices for each type of extension, including the service fee and the number of packs she recommended. She works with multiple hair brands, and the quality of the hair is 10/10.

The moment I walked into her salon, I had a good feeling she was going to help me achieve my dream hair.

I always feel welcomed and receive the best service I could ask for. She keeps her workspace extremely neat and clean, and her decorations are lovely, which makes the room and overall visit very pleasant. During every appointment, Amy is very sweet and easy to talk to. She always takes her time during every step of the process, which I love. She has highlighted my hair numerous times, and the blend is unreal considering how dark my natural hair is. Her techniques are always on point.

I visit her twice a year (every 6 months), and I’ve always appreciated that she’s willing to do a major makeover in one day since I moved three hours away. We’ve spent 8+ hours highlighting my hair and installing my extensions.

It’s always nice to catch up with her. As a hairstylist myself, I truly enjoy the conversations we have and the advice I receive from such a passionate and experienced professional. Her work is exceptional and has never once disappointed me. Thanks to Amy, I always feel like a doll with long, luscious hair. She truly helped me achieve my dream hair. ♥“

“I had a great experience at Sunshine Salon. The owner cut my hair and applied two colors, and I couldn't be happier with the results. She took her time, paid attention to the details, and it was clear she really knows what she's doing.
What I appreciated most was that she listened carefully to what I wanted, while also offering her professional expertise. I trusted her judgment and recommendations, which made the whole process easy and enjoyable. The appointment felt relaxed and comfortable from start to finish.
After spending years trying different stylists, I'm happy to have finally found someone I trust with my hair. If you're looking for a skilled stylist who genuinely cares about her clients and her work, I highly recommend Sunshine Salon.“

“I love Andres and Hayden! They always do an amazing job with my hair!! Every time I go in I’m in serious need of some TLC and they always get me looking right!! I’m so glad I found them!! ???? Not only is the quality of their work the best, but they are also so kind and welcoming! I love them so much!“

“Lucy at Alchemist Hair Studio in Monterey took care of me, and she did absolutely amazing!
I was looking to treat myself to a “fancy” BIG haircut and left a lot of the creative vision up to her. Lucy delivered, not only was the final result of my haircut above and beyond my expectations, but I felt like the whole experience was very professional and custom made for me. She took everything I said,and maximized the potential of my cut. I feel amazing, and I’m so glad I chose Lucy at The Alchemist!
Thank you Lucy!“

“Dulce is an amazing stylist and a very cool person. Always happy to go to Alvarado St and get my hair cut“

“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“

“These ladies are absolutely wonderful! I wasn’t able to book an appointment but they took care of me and made sure I could find a hairstylist to fit my schedule.“

“Jade gives a great men's hair cut. The owner Stacia is kind, professional and hard working. Her newly renovated salon looks amazing. I recommend this salon to everyone I know in the area.“

“I had the best haircut I have had at great clips in years. First time I have seen this person (I believe his name was Santiago) in Monterey CA location. He was not about rushing to get to the next guest and still cut my hair in less than 20 minutes.
Great job hope to see him there more.“

“Always a great hair cut! I have curly hair and she does an amazing job. Very friendly and affordable!“

“Fantastic staff! I had a wonderful lash tint with Brittany. The spa for treatments is upstairs and serene.
Then I had an amazing haircut and blowout with Danielle. The shampoo was the best scalp massage!!!“

“I walked in and was accommodated right away. No wait time and didn't feel rushed.“

“Jila was great! I had a job interview at 9:30 AM and roommate that said he’d cut my hair flaked. After calling at opening(8:30 Am) and being told to come on down she got me in and out in about 20 minutes looking great for my interview.“

“Jazmin cut my hair so good I walked out feeling like a brand-new woman. I ran a few errands after and found myself a sugar daddy before I even got home. That’s how powerful this haircut was. Definitely going back. 10/10.“

“Jessica is an amazing hairdresser with a kind and beautiful heart and soul. I love my hair post appointments!“

“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.“

“I went and got a pedicure there and it was so lovely. With the pedicure they give you a nice head, neck, shoulder, arm and hand massage. It was super relaxing. It was a super reasonable price too ($45).“

“Brandi did a fabulous, last minute job for me. Gave me self-confidence for a big occasion.“

“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!“

“The nice lady with the pretty bright red hair did an absolutely fabulous job on my hair. I was just a walk in, and I know some salons don't like walk ins because they can be more unpredictable with time, but I am very very appreciative that they were able to take me right away... I was in NEED. I desperately needed a big chop and just could not take the weight of my mane anymore. She made my long wild ungovernable hair beautiful again. I feel pretty! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“
