I've finally found the best salon in town, where true professionals excel. Cecilia came through for me at the last moment, and I couldn't be happier with her exceptional skill and expertise. With my wavy, thick hair, finding a hairdresser who can cut it well has been a challenge. I've tried numerous specialists and always left disappointed. However, Cecilia not only gave me the perfect haircut but also did stunning highlights. I highly recommend this place, especially Cecilia—she's undoubtedly one of the best artists on the Peninsula. And believe me, I've visited countless hairdressers in Monterey, PG, and Carmel!

I did not get my hair done here but I just wanted to comment on how amazing the owner is Nicole. My car stopped working right in the middle of her driveway to her salon parking lot and instead of getting mad, she was the most kindest and sweetest person. She helped me push my car into a parking spot and than made sure I was ok and made sure I didn't need anything before she left! If someone is that kind to a perfect stranger on the street, I bet her salon would take amazing care of you!!

My friend recommended Andrea for haircut and highlights and I am so glad I went! Andrea did an amazing job. My highlights look natural and amazing and my hair cut turned out exactly how I wanted it. I am so happy with the result. I have been to a few different salons in the Monterey area and none have turned out as good. I will definitely be going back. Thanks so much Andrea!
