Best vibes and talent in town! You won't be disappointed my hair has never looked better

I have seen Annie twice and I so highly recommend her. Both times she heard exactly what I asked for and did it. She takes her time and doesn't rush you in and out. She has a great talent of understanding what you're describing and then working thoughtfully to give it to you. Both times I have left feeling great. Thank you Annie! read more

Abby did an amazing job! I haven't gotten a haircut in ages and honestly I didn't really know what I want other than something shorter and neater. It turned out so clean and crisp and she was able to accommodate all my requests (U-shaped back, shorter bangs, etc). Highly recommend her if you're ever in Monterey! read more

Just got my bangs trimmed here by Jessica and she did an amazing job! Super helpful and skilled, she even showed me how to style to get rid of my cowlick (if you have bangs you know the struggle lol). Cant recommend her enough, I will definitely be back for my next haircut. read more

I do not exaggerate when I say that Annie has given me the best curly cut of my life. I was already vain about my hair and now I'm insufferable. I was hesitant to come here for a cut since I don't see many curly photos, but I've now gone here twice, both times to Annie. She really takes her time. The first cut was great but you can tell she's been honing her craft and this cut was next level. The texture, the thickness, the technique, the layering. Someone just complimented my hair while I was waiting in line for a Costco hot dog. Plus the space is filled with beautiful plants. What more could you ask for. read more

Walked in and waited without acknowledgement. It's unfortunate - a simple "hi" would have been sufficient. I understand that this establishment might be by appointment only however, someone could have said something before we walked out. read more

Sally killed it! I came in sporting a mane of COVID lock-down hair and needed some follicle therapy. She was honest about what was realistic due to the damage but we were able to keep some length AND make me look like a human in society again! The space is bright and airy. I can't wait to come back :) read more

I drove past this hidden treasure on Friday (the lovely plants caught my attention) and booked an appointment on their website immediately. I appreciated the efficient booking system the salon had in place. I walked in and immediately knew I found the salon I had been in search of on the peninsula. The decor was perfect and my stylist Richelle was incredibly detailed! She offered me coffee and other yummy drinks while I got my hair deep conditioned. I hadn't had that happen since getting my hair done in Spain. Props to the owner Harmony! Richelle made sure my haircut met her standard of perfection. I appreciated her attention to detail and our friendly conversations! I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a stylist who will take their time to ensure the customer walks away feeling like a million bucks! read more

So as a dude I've been rocking the long hair for a while. During the shutdowns it got a little extreme. I have followed Abby H. to 3 different salons, each one better than the next. Once I got a new job I wanted to look professional so I scheduled a cut with Abby. She crushed it, I look professional but I get to let my hair down when not working. Parking was super easy, making an appointment was a breeze, and the shop is lively and beautifully well lit. On top of that Abby makes my hair come out perfect every time. She checks multiple times during a cut if we are going the right direction. She understands what look I am going for and we get there every time. You know what? I am going to schedule my next cut right now. And you should too. read more

I recently went to get my hair done by Abby. The style I had in mind was to even out my short hair, and get an undercut. She heard out my style and seemed so excited to do the cut for me, which is exactly the kind of response you want when you're going in for an edgier look! She communicated the whole time, gave me ideas on what would look nice instead of jumping the gun, and made the whole experience so comfortable for me. If you're in any way nervous about getting your hair cut, go to Abby. She will hear you out, and cut your hair with a great deal of care. Couldn't be happier! read more

Citizen Hair - Here's the cut in question! - Hair Salons Near Me - Monterey, California

The other great reviews and convincing Instagram account drew me in to this salon. I was only visiting the area for a few days, so I wasn't getting my hopes up that they'd be able to squeeze me in. Luckily they could! Richelle was super friendly and very precise in her work. She took the time to hear what I wanted and why, and then gave me a detailed debrief/interpretation of how she envisioned my hopes coming to life. Then she just did her thing, and she did it well. Not only was my cut really good, the way she styled it looked great and suited me. Sometimes when I walk out of a salon, I'm only hoping to style it myself the next day. But not this time! Looked just great. The products she used were also wonderful, not weighing down my fin hair at all. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often. But you can bet your bum I'll be going out of my way to try to get back to the salon whenever possible. read more

Harmony cut, bleached, and colored my hair purple last night. It turned out great. She nailed the color and it was exactly what I was hoping for. I can provide before and after pictures, but my pictures really don't do the color justice, it looks even brighter in person. The studio was clean and the atmosphere was nice, all of the staff seemed really personable. I'd totally recommend. Before and after pics attached read more

Such a cool salon to find in Monterey! Harmony and everyone else that works for her are all so friendly! The all around vibe in here is exactly what many try to find in a salon. From color to cuts to barbering services, you cant go wrong! (Yes they have a barber there and her name is Emy, she does a fantastic job) Dont hestiate to come in, highly recommend! read more

Thank you so much Harmony for doing such a great job on my hair! Went to citizen after seeing reviews on yelp and am so happy I did. The studio is a beautiful space with lots of light and picturesque windows. Harmony did a partial balayage and trim for me. Looks great and she was so nice. Now i have a good hairdresser whom I trust. It was worth the price. Highly recommend! read more

I was overall very happy with my experience here. Richelle was kind, and took time to understand what I was looking for. I have had bad experiences in the past. She delivered what I wanted and even helped me figure out a plan to get my hair back to health. She clearly knows what she is doing and communicates with professionalism and care. It was clear she enjoys her work. She cared about the overall health and wellness of my hair and also delivering what I wanted without compromising the health of my already extremely damaged hair haha. Thanks Richelle! The over feel of the studio was aesthetically pleasing. It had a comfortable and calm feel to it. Everyone was kind and welcoming. This was an amazing find! Harmony (the owner) is running things well. It's obvious she has an eye for talent. read more

I'm so happy I came here after a year of no haircuts. Abby cut and colored my hair. She did such and amazing job! I get so many compliments

Love Harmony! Love Jessica! Every time I walk out I feel like a million bucks. Ask anyone around me...I'm a picky B.

I was just with Jessica this morning & she did an amazing job on my hair !! I absolutely LOVE her. I will definitely come back ! Thanks Jessica read more

Truly amazing experience and results! Jessica does amazing work and Citizen Hair provides a clean and comfortable experience - RECLINING shampoo chairs people!

Kaitlyn cut my hair today and I am so happy with the results. I tend to stay away from salons but she made my hair salon experience great! I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Kaitlyn! read more

1st haircut in a long time and it wasn't overly expensive and they actually dried my hair which weirdly has been difficult to have done in the past few years at other hair salons I have gone to who were overly expensive. Highly recommend! read more

Went to see Abby Hinote for a much needed update and was blown away. Abby is truly a color magician! My boxed dyed, plain Jane hair was transformed with beautiful dimension and depth. And yes I went lighter! Not only that she turned me on to ways to get my unruly hair to behave at home. I'm usually not one to trust my hair to to many, but I am so glad I did. Can't wait for my next appointment! read more

My hair stylist was Abby Hinote and she did an incredible job on my hair! I have curly/wavy hair and I have never gotten a haircut done by a professional, so I was very nervous. But, Abby was extremely nice and made me feel comfortable in the salon chair. She handled my hair with tremendous care while offering helpful tips to get my hair curl to its fullest capacity! I strongly recommend someone with curly hair to go to Abby Hinote read more

Harmony cuts and colors my hair regularly. She always takes the time to talk to me about what look I am going for. I never feel rushed, yet the appointment seems to speed right by (which I LOVE.) I get too fidgety being in the chair for a long time, and some stylists take over three hours to do what she does in two. Or maybe I am just enjoying myself so much that I don't notice the time?! Harmony's ideas and insight are priceless. Recently she helped me decide on a shade of blonde for my hair paint, and even showed me a bunch of pictures comparing a cool vs. warm tone to help me decide. Then she mixed up a custom conditioner that would help the color thrive. All the while, i was sipping a glass of wine that she graciously offered to me. I feel pampered and relaxed every single time. I don't know very much about the hair world, but I am a very picky person and I feel 100% confident being in the hands of Harmony and the other Citizen stylists. Tip -they also offer in-between bang trims which I think is a really nice touch. Thank you, Citizen babes! read more

Went to this salon recently and the owner, Harmony did my hair. I got a haircut and highlights on my shoulder length hair. I didn't ask pricing beforehand, my fault, but was extremely shocked that the total cost was $350. She did a wonderful job but unfortunately, as a student, I won't be able to afford it. It's a shame because the salon is really beautiful, I love the job she did I just wish it was slightly more affordable. read more

I got a hair cut from Abby and she was amazing. She helped me figure out what I was looking for in a hair cut and nailed it! She also helped me identify products that help keep my frizzy ball of hair looking good. I've never had so many people compliment me on my hair. I've had two cuts from her and there's no way I'm going anywhere else! read more

Jessica was able to squeeze me in last minute and I am so beyond thankful! She is truly an artist when it comes to color and I am so happy with how my hair turned out. She also did a phenomenal quick cut on my dead ends and it looks great. I loved the products that they use but didn't feel any pressure to buy any (I did buy one because I needed something for frizz). If you need a balayage expert, Jessica is your girl!! read more

The salon is great; it's a nice open floor plan, clean, and everyone is super nice. Jessica did a fantastic job on my hair today, I love it! She quickly came up with a great game plan to darken my super light hair with a decent amount of gray and it looks so much better! She was also easy to chat with which made my appointment breeze by. She was also very helpful by offering up recommendations for a barber for my husband, recommended another stylist in the salon to cut my son's hair, and answered my silly questions about my daughter's hair. All in all I absolutely recommend checking out Citizen Hair! read more

I've been to Citizen Hair before & always left happy. Today I booked an appointment with Abby for a women's cut. She completely heard what I was trying to say, provided a super relaxed + comfortable experience and gave me the best cut I've had in years. My hair is long and thick... I always ask for a V cut with layers and thinning, but rarely get it. Abby provided exactly what I needed, she is an absolute GEM. I do not do reviews, hardly ever, but this salon and Abby definitely deserve the shout out. read more

I had my hair cut by Abby, and I was delighted by the both the experience and the outcome! It was quick, she was comfortably conversational, and I love the results. You know that feeling when you run your hand through your hair and everything just feels... right? That's what I got. She definitely made me a return customer! read more

Love this salon. I have long, curly, and generally unruly hair - the type where it does something a little different every day. After a previous haircut grew out strangely, I made an appointment with Harmony. Fellow curly haired people may know the struggles with hair cuts... I've been charged extra for having "too much" hair, I've had my curls brushed out, straightened, chopped into asymmetric layers... Not this time. Harmony brought my curls back to life, while also decreasing weight and maintaining the length. A few lightweight products, diffuser, and finger twists later and my curls are doing things I forgot they could do. Not to mention the salon itself, which is full of natural light, plants, and environmentally-friendly products. It's been a few weeks and my curls are still living their best life. Highly recommend! read more

I absolutely love this gorgeous salon. I see Jessica for my hair and she nails it every time! When I first came to her, my hair was damaged and badly colored. She has transformed my hair into the healthiest it's been in years (all while still being colored) and I've been hooked since. And the cherry on top.. she is so sweet, outgoing, and LISTENS! I will not go anywhere else. I also recently discovered their Lash Lift service. Daisy does such an amazing job. She is unbelievably sweet and gentle. I felt ZERO discomfort and the results are amazing. She really takes her time and strives for perfection. I loved it so much the first time, I just got it done again 9 weeks later. Every time I enter this salon, I feel like I'm treating myself. The atmosphere is so nice and the stylists are warm and welcoming. That's something I appreciate very much. Something I've been searching for for a long time in a salon! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

I just moved to Monterey and so happy to find a great salon. I got a color and cut with Kaitlyn that turned out great! She really takes the time to listen to what you want and talk to you about options! She is very knowledgeable with color so will find the best option for you! Definitely recommend this spot if you value high quality work. Kaitlyn has also been very timely with both my appointments and spends a lot of one on one time with me. read more

Was there for 10 minutes. None of the 3 barbers acknowledged my presence! They were to busy talking to each other.

ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS SALON!!! Citizen Hair is in an amazing location by cannery row and is sooo classy! When you first walk in it's absolutely beautiful and such a breath of fresh air! It's truly a 5+ star salon! I've been going to Jessica for a couple years now and she's so amazing!!!! EVERYTIME I go to her I get exactly what I wish for and she makes me feel so beautiful! I'm a mom so I get so excited to have me time! I feel so relaxed and important when I'm there...I'm so happy Jessica is at this salon and will be going here forever :) read more

Richelle was super nice and did a great job on giving life back to my hair! I asked for all my dead ends to be cut away and for layers to be added, she did exactly that! I have A LOT of hair, I even felt bad because I know how much work my hair is but I truly appreciate Richelle for the work she did. I have gone to other places where the stylist quickly realizes how thick and how much hair I have and they tend to have change of attitudes because they are tired or annoyed with how much time/work it takes. But Richelle was NOT like that at all and she was super nice through out the entire time! The decor is super nice and the music playing was fun. I want to color my hair in a few months in which case I will be booking with Citizen Hair! The only downside is parking but that is normal for Monterey area. I would highly recommend coming here!! read more

Lucky to have found a blondie hair expert, Jessica, from the get-go! I typically go for the traditional foil highlights, but have been wanting to try hair painting again. And, this time, with someone who knows their stuff. Jessica brightened up my blonde and gave me a great cut. And, great conversation! Also, love the salon vibes - very welcoming. read more

Harmony's new salon is awesome! Clean, fresh air, ceiling fans and no drama She has 2 stylists that are as nice as her! Parking is easy, and the experience is refreshing! I have had Harmony as a stylist for years and my wife and I are so happy she has her own place Visit her new place and enjoy! read more

My first trip into citizen was for a brow wax with daisy. She is excellent. Then I made an appointment with Harmony to cut my hair. She literally gave me the best cut ever. I have long hair and she knew exactly how to style it. This place is truly awesome. Street parking is a must, park on dickman. I'm so happy I found this place and all of the girls are fabulous. read more
