I can't recommend Salon Montana enough as Stephanie is the best at what she does and I wouldn't let…read moreanyone else touch my hair. I've lost count of how long I've been coming to her to color & cut my hair but it's been at least 6+ years. I also happily drive three hours to see her, that should say all it needs to say right there. Stephanie is the owner of the salon and she works magic on my hair. I've always been known to be very picky with my hair which is why I struggled to find the right artist for some time. Once I found Stephanie through my mom it's been smooth sailing since. She listens to your needs and respects the way you want your hair done. I'm grateful to her because my hair is so healthy after coming to see her all these years. I continue to get so many compliments on the color she helped pick for me and she only cuts the dead ends that need sprucing, so my hair has maintained it's length. The prices at Salon Montana are extremely reasonable for the quality of service you get. Also I don't know how she does it but my color actually stays! I'll come back 90 days after and we notice how good the majority of my color has lasted. At other salons I felt like the colors quickly faded but not here. The shop itself is very welcoming and cozy. Always clean and the location in downtown La Quinta is perfect as you can run next door to grab a quick coffee or snack before/after your service. Stephanie really tailors her services to everyone. Men and women's hair. I'm in my 30's and she's my stylist for life (or for however long she will put up with me lol). Also to note my moms in her 60's and also comes to her regularly. Her hair has never looked better and is so healthy now. It just shows if your reading this, whoever you are, it's likely that Stephanie will get it just right for you and she definitely deserves your business. This salon is a 10/10, the best "not so secret" salon in the desert.

Stylist did not listen as I explained how I wanted my hair cut. I have learned through the years…read morethat people who cut your hair generally don't listen, and cut hair according to their experience and comfort level, as opposed to actually listening to what you personally want- I do not recommend this salon. It's hard to find someone talented to cut your hair. Won't return- Still looking for that kind, patient stylist who listens, and has skills. The good news...my hair will eventually grow back. That being said, because the stylist didn't listen, it will certainly take a while for that to happen.

I'd like to start off by saying that Tami is super nice and kept me entertained during my 8 hour…read morevisit. The place is homey and pretty. I came in with a bad at home dye job (patches of faded green) and asked for a dirty blonde with highlights. I was expecting her to keep my roots, use an orange toner to correct the green (color correction) but instead, she had bleached my whole head. I trusted the process and trusted her. I restated what I wanted over and over, and showed her multiple pictures.. I wanted my roots to look natural (I'm a dark dirty blonde-light brown) as they grew in, therefore wanting her to keep my roots as they were and add in highlights/lowlights after color correcting. After the bleach was done, she went in with more bleach for highlights and dye for lowlights. Then put a toner on to make it not as yellow, which is what I wanted and I'm so glad it didn't come out golden yellow. However, at the end of the day, my hair was bleach blonde with barely any lowlights. I feel as if she should have saw that my roots were whiter than my scalp and not what I wanted at all. Of course I tried to like it and wanted to go home to mess with it and take cute pictures of myself, but I instead hated it, went to walgreens and got a box dye. I am very happy that she got the green out by bleaching it. However, she stated she was doing a color correction; bleaching is not color correcting. And the outcome was not what I was expecting. I paid $210 (price was $300 but got 30% off) to basically get my hair bleached since the lowlights didn't even show up. She also put in olaplex ($25 extra), which I thought was supposed to be optional, as stated on the website, but she added it in with the bleach without asking first. I should not have paid $210 for what I got.

I am not a person who writes reviews very often, but today I feel compelled to tell everyone who is looking for the best hair professional in all of Palm Desert and surrounding areas, Agim is the best! I am 69 years old now and let's be honest, it's a challenge to create beautiful hair for someone my age. My hair is thin, dry, brittle and gray. Agim miraculously turns my hair into something that I am very proud of. Do not hesitate! Some people might feel that his prices are high, but let me tell you, he is worth every penny. On top of his skill, his enthusiasm for what he does is over-the-top. One other mention, his wife Bruna touches up my roots in between balayage and haircut appointments, and her talent is predictable and high-quality as well.
