6 reviews for Salon Monet
I want to thank my fellow yelpers for writing about this place. I had been trying to 'reinvent' the wheel by going to a shnazzy salon as a model - i wanted a good look without the pricetag. then, nothing fit my schedule. i looked into miss laura's but they are booked 2 weeks in advance. salon monet was available - i called and they said come right in. i sat down and olga said what do you want - i said, i don't know, maybe something slightly punkish but something that will look good with my face shape, etc. she gave me a suggestion that sounded good to me and went to work. i really like what she did - she gave me styling tips so that i have more volume with the haircut, and gave suggestions for highlights if i wanted to try that, and she said call anytime if i want more tips. she was friendly - i asked for the price beforehand but she said relax.. which was weird but i had read on yelp that this place had like $28 haircuts.. since my hair is long, it was $35. quite a bargain in the city. so i made out well - it's definitely a place i'd go back to. i get nervous about getting my haircut, and i used to always get the same thing - this time i asked for something different and what she did is definitely unique but flattering. very good!
Update - I visited Olga again, and she was still amazing. I have pretty much decided that she will be my official hair stylist. She really pays attention to how my hair is, and she seemed to remember how it was last time I saw her also. I have a weird health problem now that affects my hair and she gave me a lot of ideas on how to make sure it stays healthy and thoughts on how to change my hair style accordingly. She is excellent.. and still reasonably priced. :)
This was about the worst haircut I have ever had. I had a bad feeling when the woman started talking to me about a client of hers who wanted their tushy waxed...TMI! Then she parted my hair down the middle and started cutting AFTER I told her I part it on the side. She was on and off the phone the whole time. She also cut it all one length even though that I not what I asked for. Unfortunately I couldn't tell that until I got home because drying costs extra and I just wanted to get the heck out of there. She also waxed my eyebrows and burned me pretty bad on the eyelid.
Olga is great! My only complaint is she always charges me like $10+ more than my roommates for a cut, dry, and style. I don't get it!
I was a sophomore in college when I first discovered Salon Monet after desperately wandering down the C-Line seeking a new cut for a "new chapter" in my life. Ladies, you know what I mean.
As I was getting my hair washed, the beautician ordered that I have to get my eyebrows done without question. Horrifying. I was too scared to argue and went with it.
Well, I can tell you I looked like a new person. Such a fantastic job - great shaping and relatively painless. The ladies of Salon Monet have their strong opinions, but it's well worth the slightly harsh criticism. Tough love, wonderful results.
As far as the haircut, $30-35 for a cut and blowout - and let me tell you, the blowout lasts for days (as well as the brows - weeks!). They work with super curly hair and super straight hair and the price is right (brows are $15 i believe). I experimented with a lot of salons, but always wound up coming back to Salon Monet... and they have always remembered me. Talk about customer service.
Five stars without hesitation. And you don't even *really* need an appointment!
I walked in here and was very frightened, but I desperately needed my bangs cut, they were starting to reach my nose. I had gone to Dellaria (my last salon of choice) and they were booked solid for the evening. I wandered around and happened upon this place. Hair was flying everywhere- I was scared! The stylist asked me how the bangs were, I said good and she said they should be a little bit shorter. I was scared because I have a big forehead. SHE DID A GREAT JOB. I love my bangs! She gave me her card and I think I will be returning when I need a full cut. What a great find :)
I haven't gone myself but my friend went here for her eyebrows based on these reviews and they looked amazing after! Not to mention they charged her even less than she expected.
