Monet Hair Studio

i went to Monets hair salon especially to have my hair done by stylist Iisha at the recommendation of a good friend whom i might add has beautiful hair. Iiisha was very warm and personalble and really was interested in listening to what my needs and expectations were fror my hair. i was elated to find that when Iisha was finished with my hair she had far exceeded anything i had hoped for. I had a frizzy medium length hair with no shine no style and it had been breaking off easily in the past. Iisha had recommended that I do the conditioning treatment and a haircut. This may sound like a normal process that one could find at any salon but believe me it wasnt. Iisha’s hair cuts and styles are unique, unlike any other stylist i have ever been to.
If you are looking for that one awesome stylist that you can never seem to find you have to see Iisha, because I can vouche that I will be seeing her as my stylist forever. She has changed the way I feel about my hair.

Grace did such a phenomenal job on my hair. I was so nervous because I was unsure how it was going to turn out, and I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to do with my hair. It was dull and I needed something! So she did a bayalage ombré to bring down my roots, darken them slightly and add a beautiful blonde shine to the ends. My hair has never been this healthy and shiny, ever. Not only that, but this was by far the best experience at a salon I’ve ever had! I felt so comfortable and so welcomed. Such a beautiful salon with exceptional service.
Thank you Grace and Monet Hair Studio for making me feel beautiful

I went to Monet Hair Studio yesterday for the first time. I finally decided I needed a closer hair salon and since I drive by Monet almost everyday I thought why not give this place a try. First, I really love the atmosphere. It’s very cozy yet modern and you get your own little room while having your hair done.
My stylist was Grace. She did a great job on my hair! She really listened to me and gave me exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier and my hair feels amazing. She is very sweet and super easy to talk to. My hair has gone through a lot over the years from jet black to platinum blonde. Grace was very comforting and even made great suggestions about products and coming in for some hair treatments to get my hair back into shape!
Thank You Grace! I will be back.

Great hair salon! Friendly staff and great atmosphere.
I got a Brazilian blowout from Lacey and it turned out amazing, will definitely return in a few months to do it again. Linda was so friendly and accommodating as well!

5– stars for my girl Grace! I should have reviewed this place a long time ago, because i told her I would, but I wanted to keep this hidden gem to myself!
Great service and great technique! I have not left ONCE unsatisfied! I’ve always left with a huge smile on my face!
The place is clean and the staff is accommodating.
Parking might be hard to find, if you go on a busy day.
Grace is my go to girl when I need a hair angel to rescue me! She also does up do’s and makeup!
The price is solid for the service you get!

Went to see Mary for my blonde highlights can’t Rave Enough about her style and technique she definitely has a passion for what she does… She’s now my go to gal

Carrie Ann is not only an amazing stylist but she’s is a wonderful person too!
She still has the passion and drive to give you a hair experience not just a cut.
I have never been less than elated when I walk out the door!

OH-​MY-​GOD!
How many 1 stars do you want me to give this poor studio because of you Ms. Grace???
Are you trying to make it 5? I used to feel sorry for my hair, now I feel sorry for the studio.
It’s that simple that I needed a haircut like «A» and you gave me a «B». Period.
But you made it LOOKed like an «A» when I was THERE, and I was happy, because I didn’t see the back of it.
And then when I went home… … OK, I’m not going to repeat what I wrote. Please check the pictures.
Anyways, The point is not about to «style» you hair for half an hour in the morning or whatsoever, but simply you gave the WRONG «style».
I’m not a mean person, and I have never meant to hurt anybody. I really really don’t like my new haircut… Am I not allowed to write here about what I feel?
If there is anybody in your studio, you or your boss, is smart and know how to run a business, –there are thousands ways to deal with a pissed customer, and make up your reputation (possibly). –OR just let it go.
But what did you do Ms. Grace? You called me a BI-​POLAR, HAVING A MENTAL ISSUE, GO CHECK YOUR HEAD…
Now you are still fighting for your mistake. I feel sorry for you.
I couldn’t find the exact pictures but I’m sure I showed you the one posted here that Tasia did (the red color short hair). I said I want the same style but shorter. The back of the hair must be the same length…
… You think I like wasting time typing here? I have a life.
«You can tell what kind of person from the reviews»? Hahaha… funny you said this.
At least I didn’t call your name, did I?
PS: My hair actually starts to look better, as it’s been 2 monthS since the disaster LOL. Get over it Miss.
PSS: To whom called me earlier today from the studio: Sorry I didn’t have time to answer the phone. I believe this is a good studio, and it must deserve all the good reviews. I respect all the hair artists working here including Ms. Grace. But I can’t lie about it, I don’t like the haircut, and it was not what I asked for.
PSSS: You should watch what your employees post on your page, because the whole «cursing and arguing with customer» thing really made the business look bad.
One more star for the studio. (Again, I’m not against the studio or anybody, simply don’t like my haircut!)

My only gripe about this place is the parking situation; other than that I LOVE it! Carrie Ann is by far the best person to touch my hair… EVER! It is on the pricey side, but I truly believe you get what you pay for. I never walk out of Carrie Ann’s chair disappointed.

Tasia Lockhart is a passionate, creative, and fun stylist. I love that she hears what I’m trying to achieve whether it be color or a haircut. Thanks Tasia for loving your job & keeping up with the latest trends.

I come here to get my haircuts from Grace. Always excellent service, very friendly. Tea, coffee, water, and snacks available while you wait. Great selection of products for all your haircare and styling needs. Reasonable pricing, nothing to complain about here!

I just moved here from Las Vegas and had the same hair stylist for 20 years. In the 5 months I’ve lived here I’ve gone to 3 different hair stylist with an unsatisfactory outcome each time. I have hair extensions and get highlights. I found Carrie Ann at Monet Salon by a referral. I’m so happy and pleased with her work. She truly has a talent with hair. My hair has never looked better. I recommend her to anyone, especially if you have or want hair extensions. Thank you Carrie Ann. The salon is awesome, everyone so sweet, offers a beverage, made me feel so welcome.

Gail is simply the best hair artist in town. I have recommended her to a couple of friends — and they have thanked me profusely as they are now regular clients as well! She is excellent at color, cut and style. She will even give you tips on how to style your hair yourself. There is always the offer of a beverage and a snack and a massage chair while you get your color set. Zuluema’s shampoo and head massage are legendary. Love, love, love these two.

This salon has a loyal following but my experience here was only fair. Not good enough to return. My haircut was dramatically different that what I expected it would be, even after I thought I’d communicated what I was looking for. I guess the saying, «it’ll grow back» was my only consolation. :)
My review aside, you can see they have a loyal following and your experience could well be better than mine was.
Here’s my take on hair salon reviews on Unilocal: People either LOVE the place or they HATE it. There’s not much in between so it’s hard to get a good feel for what a salon is about. Remember future reviewers you don’t HAVE to give a 5-​starrating if you like the place 3– or 4-​star are also good reviews.
Also, I think people rate salons higher than the might some other business because they don’t want to piss of the stylist and get a bad haircut the next time!
So, my honest opinion (based on my only experience here) is: 1) Their prices are reasonable. 2) The stylist cut off too much hair because she didn’t take time to understand what I wanted. It would have been better if she’d cut my hair while it was dry so she’d see how much was actually coming off. She did a precision cut (that’s good — she knows how to cut hair) but I think she got in trouble and had to take too much off. 3) A warning sign to me should have been when they called to reschedule my appointment. Scheduling mistakes happen but in this case I feel it was a lack of concern about a new customer.

Was recommended to Grace by my friend who is a current client. She is absolutely fantastic. She cut my curly hair so that it has a nice shape and I don’t even have to blow dry it after I shower. She’s super friendly and easy to talk with.

I visited monet recently for hair cut!
The girl who cut my hair is awesome !!! Her name is Tassia!!!
She is such a perfectionist.
She knows what she is doing. She can understand what do you want.
I’m so excited that I finally found someone to trust with my hair because I’m very demanding.
Today a friend of mine went for a hair color and highlights. There are soooo perfect!!!
I close an appointment to go for next week .
I can’t wait to do my hair done.
If you are looking for haircut or color Tassia is the right one!!!

Carrie-​Ann is simply the best. I’ve experimented with other salons closer to home in the Pasadena area, including B. Lee, Ecco, Crowned, and Salon Sessions, but my favorite and most flattering haircuts have always been the work of Carrie-​Ann.
I had an appointment with her yesterday and left with silky soft, touchable layers. My sister told me several times how healthy it looked — «better than it has looked in a long time» — and couldn’t keep her hands off it, which is saying something since my last haircut was with a gal over at Trim in Venice only a little over a month ago.
Highly recommended.

Called in to schedule a haircut during my lunch break with Grace the other day and it turned out great! As a man, I never really know how I should get my hair cut, I normally show up and say «Make it shorter and nicer, please.» And Grace did it! She gave me options and suggestions and I’m glad I went to her.
I will be returning

I’m very sad to have to write this review because I really did love this salon.
A couple of months ago — I had come to Monet after my color was messed up by another salon. Laura did my hair — and it was fabulous. I loved it.
Fast forward to now — I made an appointment with Laura to have my color done again. The receptionist offered me a Thursday morning appointment at 9 am. I let her know I couldn’t make 9 am because I would have to drop my kids off first at 9:15 am. I told her I could be there between 9:15 and 9:30. She said that was fine.
I showed up this morning — just before 9:30 for my appointment. Laura wasn’t there. I was told maybe she was running late and they would call her. When Laura called back she apparently told the girl on the phone that she had already been there at 9:05 and left because I didn’t show up. This was confusing to me since I was VERY specific that I could not be there until 9:15. They put her on the phone with me and I explained to her I really needed my hair done for this weekend. She responded, and in her exact words, she said «I don’t have time for you.» Really? Not the way to keep a client. She was very curt with me on the phone. I just didn’t even know what to say at that point so I left.
Laura called me a couple of hours later. She indicated she was calling to apologize but kept saying it wasn’t her fault. So the apology didn’t sound very genuine. I explained to her that I had counted on this appointment because I needed my hair done for this weekend. I have 2 toddlers and I had paid someone to watch them for the morning so I could get my hair done. It didn’t seem to matter to her that I had been inconvenienced. She seemed much more concerned with the fact that she was very busy than the fact that I was upset. Had she called and said something more like «hey I’m really sorry, I know you paid someone to watch your kids and it was important for you to get your hair done today. Let’s reschedule and I’ll give you 10% off for the hassle.» But no. There was no response like that. Just silence on the other end of the phone line. Then she finally said «Well, have a nice day» and hung up.
It makes me really sad that I can’t go back there — I really liked the salon and the other stylists all seemed really nice.

This review is only about the new product line that Laura is carrying, Kevin Murphy. As many of you know I have been seeing Laura for close to 10 years. I have tried many products and was never impressed by them. Things have changed!!! Kevin Murphy shampoo and conditioner are simply the best that I have EVER used. My hair is naturally curly and frizzy, I wear it long and blow dry it straight. I now only use the restore wash and rinse on my hair.
There are so many positive things about this product I don’t really know where to begin. First off they do not test on animals, it is sulfate and paraben free and the products are all natural. Second, I have long hair and I normally use at least a handful of conditioner every time I wash my hair. With Kevin Murphy I use about a teaspoon amount of conditioner. I use about a half a silver dollar size amount of the shampoo, When Laura first ask me to try it she said, «don’t use a lot, it goes a long way» she was correct. I was really surprised the first time I used it; my hair was actually shinny in the shower. Then when I blow dried my hair that shine and softness stayed. The scent is very clean and subtle, but even if you wash your hair every other day your hair will still has a soft clean aroma. Oh the bottles are 100% recyclable too. One feature that I did not expect was how it controls breakage. I have about 95% less breakage since using Kevin Murphy products (Kevin Murphy doesn’t make this claim I do, ITS AMAZING) Honestly, I can’t shut up about Laura’s new product line. PLEASE try the shampoo and conditioner, the bottles will last forever since you don’t have to use a ton of product and you will be hooked.
