DO NOT LET SONG TOUCH YOUR HAIR. I went in for a color service, I let her know I had bleached it 3 weeks ago and had copper hair and blonde hair. But 3 days ago I put brown on it with red on the inner layer and I asked for a bayalage and to cover the red. She foiled my hair @3:30, and added color to the rest of my hair. She rinsed my hair at 6 and added toner. All my hair was falling off, and she tried to not let me see it. After I saw all my hair on the floor I was shaking and crying. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She proceeded to tell me I didn't disclose my hair history. I showed her I had highlights last year, but since then I only bleached it 3 weeks ago.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Before even starting I asked for a color remover before bleaching to see what level I was at. Instead she rebleached it. I had to cut off 5 inches off my hair, and all the top of my hair is broken off. I will be contacting thier corporate office read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I walked in and as soon as Carmen seen she greeted me with a smile.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After the pleasantries, I ask her if she had time to cut my hair and she said, of course. Guided me over to her chair and we got started. Carmen gave me great service, second to none and a very friendly face. I was more than pleased with my haircut, shampoo and style. All for only $25! Carmen/JCPenney Salon, y'all have gained a new more than pleased customer! I'm gonna take a line from The Elephant Man movie and twist it just a little bit... Thank you, Carmen! I am no longer an animal! I am a human being! read more

I would like to share my recent visit at JCPenney Hair Salon in Salinas. I asked Monica Murillo for highlights, but unfortunately the results were not what I requested or expected. The color turned out orange and yellow, and the highlights were patchy and uneven. My family and friends immediately noticed how off it looked, and I was very embarrassed by the result. Because I was so dissatisfied, I had to go to another salon to have the color corrected, which cost me additional time and money. I also discovered while checking my receipt at home that I was double charged for my haircut. Haircut is $35, so I was charged $70. And that's billing fraud! The service did not meet professional standards and the dishonest charge of an incorrect amount. I paid the total amount of $275 for partial highlights and haircut. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried to discuss a resolution with the store manager, Tarcisio Paredes, but to no avail. He was rude, unhelpful, and had a condescending tone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He was upset at me that I went to another salon to get my hair color corrected. He insisted that I should have gone to them instead and won't issue me a refund.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]NICOLE IS THE BEST!!! Every time I go I'm never disappointed[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have curly hair so finding someone who can cut my hair and I trust is hard but she never lets me down!! 10/10 recommend read more

Been to this location a few times, with different stylist and always love my hair, but this last time an older lady named Carmen ruined my color. She didn't have a clue what she was doing and was super messy my hair now is a total disaster. Her attempt for highlights left me patchy and brassy. She also over charged when she had quoted a completely different price. She made the whole experience super awkward. I will definitely go back and select a different hair stylist. read more

I am not a person that likes to add reviews but, sometimes my review can be seen by others & I might save someone's hair and prevent it from getting damaged. If you look at the picture I asked for that but I ended up with ugly ashy highlights done by Carmen. I'm very upset, she kept telling me to keep my natural hair and she can do the highlights "it'll look good" . When I saw I wanted to cry... first and last time I let someone touch my hair. I prefer an honest stylist, if you don't know how to do it be honest from the gecko & don't damage someone else's hair. She's also really rough when she washes your hair. I ended up box dyeing my hair that same night because I felt very uncomfortable with what she did to my hair... Carmen charged $145.00, she didn't even give me full highlights. read more

Jcpenney Salon - Before and After - Hair Salons Near Me - Salinas, California

Came to get my daughters hair cut by our favorite stylist Cora. I book my appointment a week ago and was happy to find out they were having. A back to school special for kids hair cuts. I was extremely thankful for the discount and for Cora cutting my daughters hair the way she likes it. read more

Recently came down there Adrian "tried" to give me a hair cut and he completely disregarded what I told him in the first place. I told him I wanted a taper and he ended up cutting my hair way above where it was supposed to be. When I called him out he got upset even though it was him the one not capable of cutting hair the way people ask him too. Right off the bat he was shaking and he was nervous and he never for once asked me how it was turning out or if the length was right. When I told him that it was too high for my liking he started saying that the way I wanted it was a barber style not a salon style which is just totally absurd. If he wasn't sure or wasn't confident to do my hair then he should've passed me on to the next stylist. Please don't disregard my comment because my last comment was deleted even though Adrian was in the wrong. read more

If I could leave a 1/4 star I would. Stay away from this place. My daughter went in to trim off her dead ends, should've been no more than 2" off her hair. The lady there Aurora cut 4" of my daughter's hair and gave her layers while having her turned away from the mirror. My daughter went in with mid back length hair and came out with shoulder length. When I asked why she did that she said my daughter hair was damaged and fell off! Very unprofessional and was only worried about getting out of there on time since she was texting most of the time. Watch out for this place and that "stylist" read more

I booked an appointment online for a haircut/blow dry. I chose a senior stylist so the price was a little higher @ $55. From the moment I arrived I felt very rushed. I tried to explain what I wanted but I felt like she wasn't listening to me. Towards the end of the styling she mentioned it would be $15 more because I had long hair. There was nothing online that suggested an extra charge. I felt like I was pressured into paying more and came out with a mediocre $70 haircut. I should've read the reviews. Total scam!! read more

I want to start by saying that Nicole and Jennifer are amazing!! 5 stars for them! The 1 star is for EDGAR. I made an appointment for my 18 month old son. I made it very clear while making the appointment that he was a baby and would need someone with patience. The appointment was made with Edgar. I have went to Nicole in the past and had a wonderful experience but unfortunately she wasn't there. First off Edgar was about 10 mins late. When he arrived he already seemed annoyed that he would be cutting my sons hair. He said "who scheduled you with me?" Very rudely. I asked if he could do the cut in the fire truck ( which is the whole reason I came from Marina). He said "no I don't know how to cut in those. What? He can't sit up alone?". He then had my son sit in a regular salon chair with a booster. I thought ok fine let's just get this over with. Then he asks "does he cry?". I said well yeah he's a baby.... he immediately walked away and got the manager. He then told the manager that he couldn't do the cut because my son was crying. At that point my son wasn't crying. I had to defend myself and say ummm no my son wasn't crying. By this point I was so upset by his unprofessionalism I just said forget it please get someone else. ALL HE HAD TO SAY WAS THAT HE WASNT COMFORTABLE CUTTING A TODDLERS HAIR. instead of doing that he was extremely rude and made things worse. By the time we got a new stylist (jennifer) my son was freaked out and scared. She was so patient and really did try her best but the whole negative experience I had with Edgar was enough for both of us and we left. Advice to Edgar: maybe take a class on customer service, and get some experience with all types of clients, ya know since you work in a family salon. read more

Not good for boys haircuts. This is the 2nd time I've taken my 3yo son here. The first was bad. The second time I came and asked for a different stylist. And I think it was worse. We paid $25 and I had to use the clippers on him to fix it. read more

Jcpenney Salon - Very choppy. You could see two very distinct lines going down the center of his head. - Hair Salons Near Me - Salinas, California

After getting a cut at an unnamed salon on Lighthouse in Monterey, I was a little traumatized. Cora Snow was recommended to me by someone who has both a nice cut and color. I was going for color (though I needed a cut after the uneven hack job) but Cora explained to me that I needed to grow out my previously dyed hair. My faith in stylists was at an all time low. I wanted the color, but I needed the cut. I nervously agreed to the cut. My faith has been restored. My haircut is perfect. Exactly what I asked for and my long, layered hair moves wonderfully. As an fyi, this is a surprisingly nice salon; great decor, spacious and well designed. Not your typical Mall salon though boutique salons can be deceiving. I can start going back to a stylist on a regular basis. Thank you Cora! read more

wouldn't recommend going with Nicole in the northridge mall we asked for a shoulder length and she gave my sister a Dora haircut and the cut was super uneven .... plus she wanted to keep on cutting to try and fixing the haircut read more

I was very happy with the service I received. I asked for soft curls and they were done just how I wanted them. You can see them in the photo (pic was taken hours after my hair was done) and looked even better in person. I was pleased that the curls lasted until the following day. read more

Miriam A. was great! I had a long overdue visit to a professional in hopes of toning down the brassiness of my yellow dyed hair. Great application of high and low lifts in an efficient and confident application. I was impressed and appreciative of the hair trim and styling she applied. read more

If I could, I would give them zero stars. The lady that did my hair burned it. She did not know what she was doing at all. I had a balayage in my hair and she would leave the color on my hair for only 5-10 minutes. I wanted my hair to be darker and she would only leave the color on that long to cover up my blonde? She dyed my hair 3-4 times because she wouldn't let the color set. Until a lady named Cora stepped in to school her. I can't believe they have such unprofessional people there. I almost cried after I got my hair done here, but I will never go there again. read more

Great job by Monica! Everyone at the salon seemed to be very nice and knowledgeable and genuinely care about their clients.

I love going to Carlos for all my hair maintenances. He always does amazing professional highlights and cuts for me. I don't think I could ever trust anyone else with my hair! read more

I would like to give a zero star if that was an option. My son came back for holidays and I recommended Jcpenny to him for haircut. He came back home in tears. Some balding guy at the salon butchered his hair. Any layman could have done a better job then him. It is my sons high school reunion and they have messed it up for him. I hope hair salon manager reeds this and scans and interviews the people they hire. Very mad and disappointed at the services.... Do you notice the big empty spot read more

Really great stylists however who ever is answering the phones is terrible. I went in today having an appointment set up so i would show up and easy get to business however who ever i spoke to yesterday didnt tell me that theres two Monicas. So i showed up today being told the stylist i wanted to see was not there so i went there for no reason thank you jc penny salon! read more

if i could i would give 0 stars, the first time i went i showed the person cutting my hair a picture of how i wanted it and when they were done it looked nothing at all like how i wanted it, i let it slide because it wasn't too bad, well yesterday i went and i asked for a little off the front, the guy cutting my hair did not take a little off, he took a lot off, my hair looks horrible, horrible is not even a good word to describe this haircut it's horrendous, i shouldve known from the first time i went but i wanted to give them a second chance, i regret it, i will never return. read more

I was looking for a place to get some highlights and get rid of my dark burgundy hair. I wanted to go significantly lighter and knew it would be a challenge for a novice colorist. After looking around I decided to give this salon a chance. I called and asked they schedule me with an experienced colorist (no joke!). They assured me I would not be disappointed with Gaby given that she has over 20 years of experience. I went into my appointed and Gaby took the time to explain what would work and what wouldn't and I appreciate her giving it to me straight. I left the salon with some great highlights and a much lighter hair color. I've gotten a significant amount of compliments. I've been back for my touch up and I'm still a happy customer :) I recommend! read more

Cora is the best! Not only does she have a great personality but she really is such a talented hair stylist. I have long hair and I like to keep my length so I avoid going to have my hair cut due to stylists cutting too much off but Cora is the best, she really listens to what you want. I love my haircut! Thank you Cora! read more

Update: I have been a regular customer for well over a year now. I ADORE my stylist (Jennifer) who is always willing to try new styles with my hair when I get bored and in the mood for something different and I have NEVER loved my color as much as I do when she colors my hair! Hey are finally in the new Penny's location instead of the small temporary salon! I love the look of the new salon - it's very chic and clean. It may be a little pricy but it is so so worth it! Original review: I was a walk-in this morning (on a holiday no less) on a whim. I was looking for something different and fun with my hair after a long time of wearing it the same way! I was helped right away and my stylist (Edgar) was great about listening to what I was looking for and then helping me pick a style. My chunky highlight he suggested really DO make the hairstyle pop and I left very satisfied! I will be back! read more

I have never been into a JC Penney Salon for anything and even though it sounds like doing a shampoo blow out is so easy, sometimes I leave places unsatisfied! BUT when I left the Salon, I was given exactly what I wanted and more! VERONICA did a great job, may hair looked Fab! Thank you so much! read more

I had my hair colored at this salon. The color only lasted two weeks. When I went back to show the stylist my hair I was told my hair grew that fast that the color was gone. I will NEVER return to this salon. Professionalism is important in any business and it is obvious these people have no idea how to provide good service. read more

Went in as a walk in and the only lady there that I saw was Carmen. Wanted to get a trim and color but she didn't seem like she knew how to color because she pulled out a handbook of some sort and the price seened way overpriced. So I just ended up with a trim, but she first did a dry cut washed and conditioned then started to brush and dry my hair then began cutting again. So I ended up getting my hair cut shorter than I initially wanted. Won't be going back. Sorry not sorry. read more

I made an appointment with Cora after having seen a coworkers new haircut. And needed one desperately with COVID shutdowns. Cora was able to make my wavy unruly hair have movement and style! It is a great length. Not too short. She did an amazing job and didn't take forever. read more

Julianna, Adrianna, Monica are my top three picks for cut and color. I always walk out happy with my hair.They can do a great updo for proms etc. Julianna did my daughters for a 20's theme and it turned out awesome!! It is hard to get through on the phone so just keep calling until you get a live person. The only person there I didn't care for as far as cut wise is the little chubby bald guy. I forget his name. Really nice but I do not like his cuts. Sorry but I don't. Anyhow they provide a great service if you need your hair done! read more
