This was my first haircut here. Attached are photos of my hair before and after. I came in for an appointment @ 5:30pm at 5:25pm and left around 6:00pm (took ~30 minutes total). I asked for a trim- long layers and curtain bangs. She originally quoted me $35, I ended up paying $46. It's been a while since my last haircut, and in between salon haircuts I usually do trims at home. I think this is a no-frills type of place. I already came in with my hair freshly washed. Personally I think the layers are a bit thick and choppier than I would have hoped, but I'm glad I was able to remove a lot of the dead and dry ends. The lack of blending between layers is more noticeable when I try to put my hair up or part it to the side. If you're looking for a straightforward haircut, this is the place to go. read more

I was referred here by my gf who had the cutest haircut/curtain bangs and Annie did not disappoint! She's had the place for 25+ years, clearly knows what she's doing, effortlessly juggling 3-4 customers at once, and is funny and friendly to chat with. I got a Japanese hair straightening perm and couldn't be happier. Will be back for all my hair needs! read more

I went for a hair cut since Dec 2023 and now I went back to get hair colored now April 2024. It's been 5 months and her cut is still incredible. But look at my hair color.... OMG. IM IN LOVE LOVE LOVE. thanks Annie for being so humble but amazingly talented for her work. And best thing is she cares so much for the health of your hair. And she explains and she recommends what best for your hair. read more

$35 for a nice women's haircut. She spent time with me and made sure I was happy. Will definitely be back!

Thank you Annie for the hair! Annie was super patient and took extra steps to make my hair perfect. My hair is still super shiny and healthy after bleach! Curls aren't as perfect because I slept on them before taking a pic read more

Horrible. Do not go to this salon! I went today 5-13-23 against my gut and decided to try it out since it's local and my regular hair stylist was unavailable. I asked for a full head hair dye to cover my grays and even out the rest of my hair. I was specific in wanting dark brown, like my natural color. I went through a color change a few dyes back and wanted to continue on the path to my normal hair color. I used to have red, RED hair and told Annie that I had covered it and was continuing to keep the brown going. Then she went and dyed my hair AUBERN BROWN. WHY THE HELL SHE DID THAT, I DO NOT KNOW. I clearly said I wanted dark brown and she tried to tell me she thought it looked good. How?! And nobody cares what she thinks. It wasn't up to her to make that kind of decision. And was she really going to say she thought it looked bad?! She also asked me if I wanted her to dry my hair. WTF?! A dry and style comes with a hair dye, does it not? She wanted to send me out looking like a wet dog. And she didn't tell me about the color until AFTER I told her to dry my hair. Like she was hiding it or something. Did she not have my color available? Did she not know what she was doing? Was she not paying attention to anything I said? Unbelievable. Ruined my Mother's Day. All this aside from how run down the place is. And her application of the dye was almost a joke. Just splattering dye onto my head and working it in with her fingers. Never have I ever experienced such a mess. You should see my face; full of dye. And now I have to start all over trying to get the red out of my hair. read more

First it's how filthy the place is, it's very dirty 2nd, rude service-- She discriminate ppl who careful with COVID N she is rude . She doesn't seem like having a good attitude towards what customers want. I didn't get a cut just felt uncomfortable For 30$ I can get a cut anywhere really . Unclean n rude service. Bas read more

I was so happy with how my hair turned out! I've been looking for someone who could give me a short haircut, and I will definitely be returning. She listened to my needs and explained as she went along... I love it! 100% recommend! read more

Annie's Hair Salon - Beautiful haircut, exactly how I wanted it! - Hair Salons Near Me - El Monte, California

I made came in first thing, I had an appointment. Annie was straight to the point, she began working on my ends. I appreciated how calmly and quickly she operated. This Isn't a fancy salon, it's very humble and sufficient. read more

Didn't like my haircut at all. She messed it up so bad. Charged a lot more than what the sign said too.

I will say by far she knows what she's doing she always is detailed and she explains everything tu o the T. I strongly recommend her for straight perms believe me I have done the line work and she has always made me leave with a smile I can't hide. read more

Wow this place is seriously a hidden GEM!!! This is located inside of a plaza, next to a laundromat? $60 for Haircut + Color Haircut was great. she cut quite a lot off but it was the perfect length. Color: the Colorist was very thorough and took her time to make my hair color even! RESULTS: beautiful! first time as a RED-BROWN head. omg sooo nice. I get compliments left and right for my hair color! :) not exactly sure who was who..cut by Annie (possibly? has 3 kids in college) DEFINITELY COMING BACK!!! read more

If you are looking for a new hair salon I don't recommend this one. Although the lady was somewhat nice and attended me right away. She cut my hair in about 20 min and for the most part my hair was dry while she was doing it. I did not like the results at all. Plus the salon was a mess. read more

I've only been here once, but after working with Annie, this will become my regular salon. I was able to get an appointment the same day. Annie is friendly, efficient, professional, and talented at cutting and styling hair. I love my haircut and will definitely return to Annie's Hair Salon to keep it looking great! read more

My mom has been getting her hair cut and colored by Annie for as long as I can remember. She adores Annie and her skills. Mom always looks happy after a cut/color, and she lights up when people compliment her hair. Annie gets a lot of honorable mention in our household :)! read more

I know this place gets mixed reviews because Annie does what she wants in terms of appointments. She also has only one staff so you're not guaranteed to be in and out on time. HOWEVER, for the price and the results, it's as good as it gets. I have spent over $250 on balayage ombre in Manhattan and had to go fix the color because an assistant did it and created a harsh line in my hair from where the bleach started. Annie charged $60. For the past 20 years, I've been going to her whenever I'm in town. I wanted very blond tips, which is not an easy task for dark Asian hair. She did the gradation perfectly and the color was extremely accurate from the picture I showed. There was no patchiness and my hair didn't come out fried from the color lift. I came in at 10:30AM and was out at 1PM which is a fair amount of time for ombre, but not unreasonable. I had spent 5.5 hours for the previous ombre job. Pros: price and beautiful results! Cons: language barrier; bring a picture and show her exactly what you mean. read more

Annie is the best! I've only recently found her thru Yelp last year and I think she's great! She cuts hair beautifully and quick. She is also very straightforward about your hair and if it needs help. Great customer service! read more

Annie is the best mixologist with color and very honest with the customer, if she thinks the color wont suit you and cannot do what you want she will tell you. Takes her time to get exactly what you want. Her pricing is very generous too. read more

Annie's Hair Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - El Monte, California

This used to be my go to place for a quick hair cut. I would come about every 2 weeks and it was $8 a hair cut and wash would be an additional $2. I knew that the service was decent, my hairstylist Annie is just an average hairstylist. She doesn't do anything special. I actually only came here, because it would never be busy and I didn't have to wait. I mean all I ever needed was just a quick touch up with shaving the sides and trimming the top. It would never take more than 10 minutes, unless she talking on her phone or something. Few things that is quite disappointing about this place. She never gives you her full attention, when you are being help. She will always be distracting with several things, whether its something dumb like playing with the TV or trying to do 2 customers at the same time! After trying a different place, I never came back. Completely Unprofessional read more

Annie was very nice, but I do have to say that the salon itself was not that clean. She also did not clean up hair after the customer before me. She did stop cutting my hair midway to look at a text she received, which I did not appreciate. So far I do believe she did a good job with my hair, so I'll give her that. read more

I wish I could give no stars. She's definitely the kind of salon that just does whatever she wants even though I clearly and repeatedly tried to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted. I have the stupidest looking choppy fob cut now! FML I went in for a cut, highlight and color. I asked for blonde highlights... they came out orange (gross) and I asked for a chocolate brown color for the base (my hair is like 2 tone now because she dyed the roots first and then the rest of my hair) it looks like the ugliest 'red at the top and brown at the bottom' ombre mistake. HORRIBLE! my hair looks so disgusting! Does she even know what shes doing? STAY AWAY! Then at the end of it all, she charged me $30 more then what she told me it was going to cost when i walked in. I was shocked! I told her, that's not the price you told me when i sat down, and she replied "oh no that's not what i said, don't worry im charging you so cheap!" whatever, i just paid what she asked for... i walked out thinking it was going to be okay, because after the coloring and cut she let me walk out with wet hair. when i got home and shampooed and dried my hair IT WAS A EFF'ING MESS! initially i cried, because the color was so disgusting, then when my hair fully dried i cold really see the ugly discoloration! no wonder she didn't dry my hair! AND OMFG the cut was so ugly! she literally cut 3 layers in my hair. it looks like stair steps. I'm just so upset, and she ripped me off at the end to top it off! read more

Annie's Hair Salon - It's just a straight highlight far from my roots! No blending! And hair is like straw now. so dry and damaged - Hair Salons Near Me - El Monte, California

This place is a hit or miss for men's hair cut. I am giving this establishment three stars because it gets the job done for a low price ($10 for men). I visit this place regularly, but I don't always walk out satisfied. There is an English barrier, so if you only speak English and are used to giving instructions, good luck! I would recommend this place for men if they are looking for some place cheap and just needs basic trimming. read more

Annie did a wonderful job on my hair; I've always had long black Asian hair my whole life and decided to go for a change, and as scared as I was, Annie was patient and dedicated to getting me to achieve the look I wanted! The process did take a while but considering the huge color jump and the price, I thought it was worth it. I'm very happy with my hair, there's no damage and the color is how I wanted it. read more

Finally a person who knows how to cut my hair how I ask them to! I've been going to Annies for about two years now, and I'm always satisfied with my hair cut when she's done. She pays close attention to detail and is very precise and gentle when cutting your hair. Before at other barber shops or salons I would feel like they would rush through my hair cut just to get to the next customer. At Annies salon its the total opposite, she takes her time on your hair and your happy with the results. Thanks Annie! read more

Annie knows what she's doing and she'll give you what you want and if you don't like it, she'll fix it for you. She's honest with you and will tell you the price upfront. She tries to accommodate you as much as she can. Sometimes she can be really busy with customers so i suggest calling ahead of time to check wait time. Her prices are more than fair-less than any other hair salons ive ever been to. She takes her time with you and does not rush. Annie is a great hairdresser, I wish every encounter i had with a hairdresser was more like Annie. She is in the same plaza as el pollo loco, lots of space for parking. read more

Been coming to Annie's for years! She always does an amazing job. Very good with color and styling if you're going to an event I go every once in a while for her to cut my bangs read more

WOW, what a hidden gem! I was visiting family in CA and was looking for a salon. I was definitely hesitant at first, my sister got her hair cut by Annie 3-4 months ago, and after some Yelping I decided to give Annie's Hair Salon a chance. We got in at around 3:30pm and didn't leave until 7pm. I got all over color, highlights, and trim. The process was tedious, but like all other salons, getting a cut and color takes a while. Her prices are more than fair especially for the end result. COMMUNICATE with Annie and bring in a picture of what you would like. STRESS what you don't want. She takes her time and is more than willing to fix your hair if you're not happy with the end product. Tip: call ahead to see if she's busy or come early in the morning. She gets very busy during the afternoon/evening. The store closes at 7pm, but when I was leaving at 7pm, she still had 2 other clients. read more

I have been going to Annie for 20 plus years. Wash, cut and style for 20.00 plus tip is just a great deal. She used to cut my children's hair as well and now my kids are in their mid 20's. I live in Long Beach where haircuts run about 80.00 dollars so for me it is worth the drive to El Monte plus she always does great !!! read more

Ok, Annie is great, does really good with colors and haircuts, she has really good prices...but shes not appointment based...meaning you will be there for many hours waiting...thats the only reason I gave her 3 stars....otherwise shes good.... read more

My best friend recommended this salon, I think...six years ago. I got highlights and a hair cut. Loved the results! So...one day my mom needed a hair cut. I took her to Annie's. She was also pleased. Annie is very patient and cuts/dyes your hair the way you want it. She takes her time to make sure it's precise. Plus, when she does highlights, she tries to get it as close to the roots so it doesn't look like it just grew out. The down side is that the wait is long (if you don't schedule an appointment). Overall. Great job! Pricing isn't too bad either. read more

Best in town! I've tried other places but this is my favorite hair salon. I recently dyed my hair here and she took great time and care with my hair. All my friends think it looks great! read more
