I found Extension Bar LA through yelp. I've never had long hair. Ever. Recently, an ex-boyfriend told me that he always liked girls with long hair and we had planned a holiday trip to some beach island that we intended to go even though we were broken up. I thought maybe I should get long hair since I'll be in a beach. The trip didn't happen. The ex is still an ex (which is good). But the long hair dream still remained. So I looked through yelp and found extension bar la. I read all the reviews and I thought this may be the place I will get them. A month later, I'm so glad I decided to get a consultation two days ago because today I got my hair extensions and I love them! Monique is so sweet and thoughtful and took her time putting in my extensions. She also provided me with after care instructions and tools (who doesn't love new hair products!!!) I got the keratin bond one (bossbabe) because I don't want to get them redone every two months. Sofia also blow dried my hair which was the best blow dry I have ever received anywhere. Four hours later, I am in love. Thanks so much! I can't wait to get them redone in four months (I already booked my next appointment). I clearly highly recommend read more

Selena did a fantastic job on my extensions! I had them done previously elsewhere and was so disappointed with the results. After a consult with Monique, I felt assured they'd take care of me at EBLA. I'm so happy now, my hair looks great Thanks EBLA!! read more

I own a store down the street and have frequently drove by wanting to try them as I loved the concept of a salon that specializes in extensions. I had my first consultation with Monique and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in choosing the best extension option. Her salon is beautiful and you can tell how important her clients and business are to her. The stylist who did my extensions was Selina and I couldn't be happier wit the results. She was extremely professional and detailed during the process, as well as a pleasure to talk to. She made a long process very comfortable and enjoyable. I now have beautiful k tip extensions that not only look very natural, but also are so light and comfortable. If you have been thinking about getting some extensions don't hesitate to contact extension bar la! You will not regret it read more

I've been going to Monique and Sophie for the last year to get tape in extensions. They are both very warm and professional. The method they use is very natural looking, people I haven't seen in a while keep telling me I look great but can't figure out what the difference is! The whole team at Extension Bar LA is excellent, in addition to hair they are also a great therapist team Haha read more

Literally love this place, the girls are always so nice and have full conversations with me and are not awkward like other salons. 10/10 recommend read more

Sophie did my Allure method extensions on my very fine, thin hair. They way they turned out is absolutely amazing! I finally have the hair I've always dreamt of having. She was very sweet, and was able to answer all of my questions. I'm SO happy with the work Sophie did, and I can't wait to come back to this adorable salon! read more

Not impressed. Charged for consult and mediocre over-confident advice. Got extensions done elsewhere and they turned out great.

Love coming to EBLA! Monique, Carla, and Selina are so sweet and always make me feel so welcome when I come. My hair always comes out so beautiful with NO DAMAGE! The vibe here is so fun and I would 100% recommend EBLA to anyone and everyone. read more

This review has been way overdue! I have been going to Monique for my extensions for a while now and everytime, I end up loving my results! I was always self conscious about my fine, fragile hair and decided to finally do something about it and went to Monique! Having fine hair, I was always nervous about doing anything to it. But, during my consultation she made sure to answer all my questions and finally made me feel comfortable with my decision to make a change in my hair. I haven't regretted any of it since! I love my extensions and have grown so much more confidence since my first visit and I owe it all to the wonderful Monique! Her assistant Sophie is amazing, too! Both are very sweet and knowledgeable and if you follow Monique's instructions carefully, you will even end up with healthier hair! I also appreciate the time she makes for her clients even after you leave the salon (she will continue to answer any questions you may have forgotten to ask). I love my longer, thicker hair and very much enjoy the compliments I get from people. You can trust that Monique and her team will take good care of you and will keep you coming back! read more

Monique has been doing my hair for over a decade. I have naturally curly hair and I'm very particular about the way it is cut. I remember feeling very nervous the first time she cut my hair, but she did it perfectly. She's the type of stylist that does what you ask for. She has a keen eye for color and I'm never disappointed by her color choices. All I have to do now is sit in her chair and I have no doubt I'll leave feeling elated about the way my hair looks. Monique's products are high-end and don't damage your hair. I recently had her do my hair for my engagement photos, my wedding, and my friend's wedding. She did an amazing job for all events. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else!! read more

Monique works miracles! I had the best experience working with Monique. She is detail oriented and amazing at what she does. My hair is naturally thin and short, so I was so excited to add length and volume. I had the individual bonded extensions placed, and I absolutely LOVE them! The hair is the best quality and matches my hair color perfectly. I have received so many compliments; my friends and family were amazed at how natural the extensions look. You definitely are getting what you pay for! Top quality hair for a natural, top quality look! I will for sure be back! read more

My entire life I've had thin hair. It's been one of my Number 1 insecurities. Multiple people have pointed out my thin hair as if I'm not aware. And for many years multiple people told me that my thin hair could never hold extensions. Monique proved them wrong. My extensions made my hair full and long. The color is my dream color. And I looked great for my wedding. I will continue to come back. Having hair makes a world of a difference!! read more

Monique Hale is a miracle worker! I've always had long hair but had a "blonde moment"-- literally and figuratively-- and RUINED my hair. I bleached my hair and it literally fell out. I realize it's only hair, but I didn't feel like myself with short, thin, wretched hair. It made me feel sad. That's when I found Monique & I'm so happy that I did. I told her about what happened and she found the perfect length, color, and texture for me. Everyone I told has commented on how great my hair looks and that, if I hadn't told them what I had done, they wouldn't even know they were extensions. It looks totally natural. This is my guilty pleasure now... I love having long, healthy looking hair and feeling girly again. Added bonus: Monique is so fun and entertaining so the time really flies by during the appointment! She's awesome! read more

Monique did my hair for my best friend's wedding. I'm not a hair girl- at all. However, I was the matron of honor and I thought it would be a nice treat. Monique was amazing! She was efficient and easy going and did a great job on my hair. Thank you, Monique!!! read more

Monique is AMAZING. She has a true love for hair. I've gotten both extensions and color with her, and she is incredible.

She is a master at extensions and a great colorist. Very highly recommended if you want to leave the hair salon feeling like a babe! read more

I have had extensions for over 10 years! I was looking for a new hairdresser who knew what she was she was doing! Monique is your girl! She is knowledgeable in every type of extension out there! I have gotten extensions from numerous people and I have never had a hair dresser who knows extensions and hair like Monique! And she cares! All the girls in the salon are great! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. If you are looking for more hair, supplementing your hair, hair repair, etc. EBLA is your place! You will not be disappointed! read more

Okay seriously, I am the girl who has done it ALL when it comes to hair extensions and methods. I can honestly say there is absolutely no place like Extension Bar LA. I left there feeling like I had found a little hair heaven. Cutest place, with the best bubbly (if you're over 21), with the sweetest staff and best hair. In all my years of hair extensions I have have never left a place feeling more knowledgeable. Completely obsessed with my perfect blonde, flowing hair. Monique- you are gift to LA. read more

I am fortunate enough to have been with Monique since she first began as an assistant. I knew she was going to be an amazing hairdresser, and she has surpassed my wildest expectations. At Salon Republic, she has found her home and that's just what it feels like. Her enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of all things hair is reassuring. I always know that she will tell me the truth about some of my requests LOL. Monique is always educating herself and passing her wisdom on to her clients. I love the hair products she makes available to us, especially Kevin Murphy! On my recent visit I requested a departure from our usual hair color, and Monique was right onboard and rose to the occasion. She even posted it on Instagram, that's how good it looks. I think it's safe to say that I would highly recommend Monique to anyone who is looking for the best...because that's simply who she is. read more

I really lucked out when I decided to contact Monique. I'm quite low maintenance beauty wise and kind of clueless when it comes to girly things. But my thin hair has been bugging me for a long time and I really wanted a solution. I had been researching extensions in the past, but never found anything that I thought I could pull off (too Kardashian, too glam etc.) Plus, extensions still seem to get a lot of bad rap (Britney anyone?) So, I've been putting off getting a consultation for a looonggg time. When I checked Yelp yet again, Extension Bar popped and after seeing Monique's website and Instagram I knew this was my place. Her work is tasteful, stylish yet looks so natural. And she is experienced in all the various extension techniques, which is a big plus. I initially thought I wanted tape ins, but during the consultation it turned out keratin bonds were a better fit. No problem, Monique does them all. Speaking of consultations, she is very responsive via text and I met with her just a week later. As everybody else mentioned, she is not only a total pro at hair but also very fun to talk to and just a very kind person. I'll probably never turn into a girly girl, but I will keep seeing Monique for extensions until she retires (please never!) read more

Monique is the best! Her extensions are so natural and I love the vibe in the salon. I look forward to getting my hair done just to be able to hang out with the girls :) Plus, the price is super affordable!! read more

I had Selena come and remove my extensions very Gentle and professional and didn't take long at all

I truly cannot say enough good things about Monique and the entire EBLA team!! They do such a phenomenal job with my extensions. All of the stylists are so thorough, and they make the extensions look completely flawless! My extensions not only look natural, but they last a super long (which is crucial)! The whole team is professional, talented, and have a great eye for style. Monique also creates the most welcoming, convivial, and friendly environment in the salon. It's such a safe, happy space (plus the salon itself is SO chic). Don't think twice about booking with them. You'll never go anywhere else again. read more

Monique is not only my regular hair dresser - she has become a dear friend. After moving from Ohio to Los Angeles 5 years ago - I had no idea where to get my hair done. A friend of mine recommended her - and I haven't gone to anyone since. She is someone that would never do something to your hair just to make money - she really wants you to feel beautiful and will be honest with what will help you achieve that goal. She is incredibly talented in what she does - I plan to continue going to Monique for as long as I can! Also - My sister now flies to LA when she needs her hair done. She loves what Monique does so much - she can no longer go to anyone else! read more

MONIQUE HALE at Hair by Monique, is a genius! I had never had extensions in my hair, I spoke with her, she worked her magic, and I am loving the length and texture it added to my hair. Not one of my colleagues could pin down what was different about me and my hair, they just keep commenting on how great it looks - a true testament to her ability to transform with subtlety. I'm hooked! Definitely worth the time and money. Besides, she's a total sweetheart, and someone you'd want to hang out with all day long. read more

Monique is absolutely amazing! I went to her to get extensions done for the first time and I'm OBSESSED with how they turned out. I was nervous going into the appointment since I wasn't sure what to expect, but she made me feel so comfortable as she walked me through everything and helped me pick out the right extensions for my hair. She did such a good job with blending them and making them look super natural and the whole process only took about an hour. Plus, the quality of the hair is top notch so not only does it look amazing but it feels amazing as well! She is so personable and sweet so it was a lot fun chatting with her during the appointment. She really cares about her work and it definitely shows. I'm SO happy with the results and I've had so many people compliment me on how good my hair looks! I'm so grateful that I have Monique in my life now to keep my hair looking amazing! read more

Monique is truly a gem! I had my first experience with extensions with Monique and she did an incredible job! She matched my hair color perfectly and now I can confidently say that I am obsessed with extensions. I also went back to her to do color on my hair and she listened to exactly what I wanted and did a fabulous job. You'd think in LA it would be easy to find a great extension stylist and colorist, but it hasn't been an easy find for me... until now! So excited to have found Monique :) read more

I came into Extension Bar LA after I'd damaged my hair with many bleaching sessions. Monique has completely given my hair new life! Not only does my hair look amazing with my new extensions, but my natural hair has gotten so much healthier and longer since I've had the extensions in. Thank you Monique & Sophie! Definitely a customer for life :) read more

Definitely the best extensions experience in LA ! Friendly staff, amazing product quality, gentle application and good price ! Monique is a real expert Highly recommended. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Monique, and feel so fortunate I was able to find her based on other positive Yelp reviews! Once you meet Monique you immediately understand her passion for her work. She was friendly, filled with great conversation, and most importantly, did an AMAZING job on my hair. I had hair extensions (tape-in) put in, and honestly didn't know what to expect because my hair is short (shoulder-length) and blunt-cut. Monique was able to perfectly match my color to the extensions, and blend them in such a way that you couldn't tell the difference between where my hair ended and the extensions started. The goal with having these extensions put in was for hair fullness and a bit of extra length. Honestly, her work exceeded any expectations I could have for my hair. I am very pleased, and look forward to working with Monique again. If you're looking for a hair extensions specialist in Los Angeles, Extension Bar LA is THE place. read more

Monique is the BEST stylist. Let's break it down, shall we? * First, easy to schedule and free parking. Shall I continue? You can schedule with her via text so there is no having to take time out of your day to call and wait on hold. I've texted her at 11 at night. I'm sure she loves that. And not only is there free parking, but it's in the same lot as Marshall's, so after you get your hair did, go pick up some designer duds on the cheap to complete the I-look-like-a-million-bucks look. * Second, she knows what looks good and can explain it to a 5th grader, or in my case, a 33 year old with the beauty skills of a 5th grader. She had me blow drying my hair and looking like a full-blown sexy adult with just one haircut session's worth of pointers. The difference was night and day. I might owe her part of my paycheck for my promotion because I'm pretty sure the new haircut and style was a factor. * Third, your hair looks gorgeous when she's done. She is a master. Not only is the cut and styling perfecto, but it lasts for a long time. Since she uses the highest grade hardware, you can go a very long time with no split ends. * Fourth, she's always got an eye out for improvements. If you're in the mood to change or enhance your look a bit, she has all the tools and the ideas. * Finally, she has a great attitude. She's always friendly and happy to see you. Can't recommend enough. Go book her! read more

Monique is a stylist who listens and cares. She is good and I mean really good at what she does. Her hair extensions will never damage your hair. She has the best hair on the market and does a unique attachment that no one else does that looks flawless. Her matching and coloring skills are so good and her cuts and blow outs are the best. If you are looking for a professional, skilled stylist who knows her stuff you have found her. You will not be sorry you booked with her, you will thank me!!! read more

Monique was amazing! She was so helpful in helping me pick out hair extensions for my wedding. She didn't try to sell me on anything I didn't need and really wanted to make sure that I was comfortable with the extensions I got. I can't wait to come back from my wedding and get a cut from her too! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair after going to Monique. The length and texture is perfect for me as a busy working mama! My hair had gotten thinner after two babies back to back so love to have the thickness that I have now! read more

Monique is the best and her work is stunning. As I have gotten older my hair has gotten thinner and thinner, to the point where it was making me really unhappy. Monique's extensions fill it out beautifully-- no one can tell that my hair is "supplemented", and I feel younger and prettier. It's wonderful! Monique is flexible with her scheduling, and will always work hard to get you in when you need her. She is fun to talk to, and really cares about her clients. Overall an exceptional experience! read more
