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!“

“Beautiful barbershop and hair studio. My boys come in for haircuts regularly and can't recommend the shop enough. The staff is warm and welcoming. We will continue to be regulars!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Chelsea took great care ensuring I left with a colour I was happy with, based on my inspiration & existing hair condition. Well-appointed salon with friendly staff.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“I had my first haircut with Cathy yesterday, and am so glad I found her! She is truly an expert with curly hair and I am very happy with the result. Her one chair salon is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle and noise level of larger salons. I found Cathy to be kind and sensitive to my needs. She has two small rescue dogs who are sweethearts and rested together in their doggie bed the vast majority of my time there. All of my future haircuts in Monterey will be with Cathy!“

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

“Stacia has been my hair artist for a while now and of all the people I have gone to in my life she is by far the most skilled and experienced. She has truly mastered the tricky art of hair. My color is finally the perfect shade, it's very healthy and I frequently receive compliments from people since I have been going to Stacia. I appreciate that she is open to new ideas and supports me when I want to try something new. At the same time she is honest and gives great feedback. It is clear that Stacia's goal is to have a very satisfied client who loves the hair that they leave the salon with! ..Another thing I appreciate is that the wait time to get in is never too long. In the past I have had to wait for months to get a hair appointment. This did not work for me. Stacia is very thoughtful and is prompt at getting me in when I need. I feel like she prioritizes clients needs and schedules. One time I made the mistake of getting a blow out at a cheap hole in the wall salon and the person blow drying it got a huge chunk of hair stuck in the blow dryer. It would not come out and practically caught fire. Super distraught, I called Stacia and she told me to come in to see her right away. She did damage control and was kind and compassionate. I had a brand new baby and was so tired and frazzled... Stacia really saved the day and came through for me. This all said, I highly recommend her beautiful salon for all hair services. Stacia aims to provide the best quality and I have been very happy there!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely loved Susan and her haircut / styling skills! She was a pleasure to get my haircut with. I’ll definitely be going back!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Wow, went for an unplanned wash and blow out and the woman was wonderful! Cute little salon, very nice and my hair was perfect. Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

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