The stylist did a good job on my hair, but unfortunately it was thee worst experience I've ever had in a salon service wise. Regardless I still tipped over 30% because everyone has bad days, ya know? But then I drive off, look in the mirror and see that there was stain left on my head. I've never had ANYONE have such little respect for me to let me leave like that. You're not required to talk to your clients (which clearly she wanted NOTHING to do with me) but it's something else when you clearly look like you are bothered by my shear existence. I worked my ass off for the money I made today and all of it and then some went to making sure I left a good tip for literally the worst service of my life. I literally paid to get treated like dog shit. I went in for a color change and a style. She did very well as a hairdresser but I'm at a loss for how she let me walk out. Not that anyone cares but I'll definitely rather take myself to someone that's in school/training next time. I'm sure she's a nice person, maybe she's racist? Idk, but the hosts up front were absolutely incredible. Good job on those two, they are very nice, talkative and make you feel welcomed.

Won an SPCA certificate for a color and weave. Stylist said she would definitely honor it three days after it had expired. Then the price went up to 45.00 extra. After waiting seven weeks and her postponing three appointments... I get a text from her saying she talked it over with the owner and her coworkers and that she would not honor the certificate anymore. Not very professional to athe charity she was suppose to honor!

I always had bad experience with hair stylist,
(not lying)...I tried many... and my sister recently went to Monica and my sister lily had long brown hair and went blonde and it looked so freaking good the blonde is not orange nor brassy it looked so good honestly, so I recently went and I have dark brown hair and I told her I don't want to go blonde but I deff. Want a change and go lighter and she added ombré And it looks so good... can't wait for next months appointment 0:-()... by the way her cell number is 661.932.5442 text her or call Monica...Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Christine N.Bakersfield, CA20113Apr 22, 2018
I can't believe I haven't done a review for this place. I have gotten my hair done by Kara Bonelli for over a year now and nails with Regina. I trusted Kara with my hair when I decided to go short and light and never left her since then. It's a very relax and fun place. The service is always excellent!

So this probably is the most fancy place I've been to! I went in as a walk in but I recommend making an appointment.
Chichi, my nail lady is so fantastic! We had the most amazing conversations. I will continue to go to chichi even though she doesn't do gel. She's so sweet and she explained how I could take better care of my natural nail to keep them strong. She told me what I could buy for my cuticles. She was so patient and thorough. Absolutely great service!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Juliene D.Bakersfield, CA01Nov 9, 2020

Another great visit with Maria H. I've been with her for some time. I followed her over to this location from Le Vuitton Full Body Boutique & Spa. She is absolutely fantastic- a true gem. She gives me great tips to help me keep my hair healthy and she will be honest with you when you want to do something she thinks you will hate. Trust her, she knows best. The bangs I had to have a while back were a mistake. Thank you Maria H. for taking such great care of my hair. You are an amazing hair stylist. Love, love love my hair every time.
