I decided to try this salon based on the great reviews, but unfortunately my experience was very different. I went in with healthy, voluminous hair and left with severely damaged and brittle strands. Nely was the stylist who worked on me and I believe she left the bleach on for far too long . I even remember my hair falling out during the process. I had a balayage done in March 2025 and ever since people have asked me what happened to my hair. It's been incredibly disheartening. My hair has lost all its volume and health. I'm now taking biotin supplements, using high-end products and hair masks and trying everything possible to reverse the damage. The emotional toll has been real and I'm considering cutting my hair very short or spending thousands on extensions I never even wanted. I genuinely regret going through with this appointment. The picture speaks for itself as it was worse before . The picture I'm posting is the progress of my growth journey from bad bleach and still looks bad . Please be careful when choosing a stylist as I wish I had been. Whenever I got out , I have to wear clips extensions . It's so embarrassing and annoying. Makes me depressed read more

I booked a half leg waxing service with Mondez Salon by Diego @ 10a through the Vagaro app. The window stated they open at 9a on Saturdays. I arrived just before 9:30a and the place was closed/ gates up. Someone showed up 5mins before 10a. When I mentioned my appt and the services I was expecting, the stylist looked at me as if I was crazy, stating they don't do waxing there. I showed her the app with my appt time. She then proceeded to tell me they don't do online/ app appointments. She then called Diego, who also stated to her that they don't offer waxing or use an online booking service. I'm ok with not using this business but better not get charged a cancellation/ no show fee. read more

Made a same day appointment with Diego. When I arrived he informed me that he was a bit behind schedule. He asked if his other stylist/assistant could get me started on the color and he would do the cut. I appreciated that he asked and didn't just tell me to have a seat and wait. So I went ahead and agreed. I asked to have my hair dyed to my natural hair color and the cut to be a short bob. He didn't disappoint. The color was on point and everything went smoothly. I showed Diego exactly what I wanted and he came through. My hair feels smooth, silky and healthy. I will definitely come back for a trim. It was fair price and I appreciate the time they both took on me. Didn't feel rushed or pushed out. Everything was clean. Diego had a mask. I wore one, but I don't believe it was required. Just my own personal preference. read more

Friendly and clean salon. I called asking for a quick style and they were able to get me seen in that same hour. When I arrived I showed a picture of the curls I was trying to achieve. They took me right away for my appointment time and got started on my hair. I couldn't be happier with my casual beach curls! I will certainly be back! read more

One of the girls finally called and he bumped my appt like really! He is so inconsiderate with peoples time. Very unprofessional of him! read more

I've been looking for a hair stylist since I moved back from the Bay Area, & it's been a struggle! I went to a place in Pomona (starts with a D) & they ruined my hair. I had to color it brown-black & chop it off. Fast forward to 2 days ago... I'm in awe! Diego transformer my nasty short Snape-like hair to a highlighted chic lob! He's really nice, I've never been treated so well! His pricing is affordable for the techniques he uses. 10/10 Will definitely keep coming! read more

I love it.i finally have found my hairdresserDiego.Hes great with blond hair.this has been the best job I have had in my 33 years of living.Gracias Diego-Ashley Alcala read more

DIEGO, there is a big difference between HIGHLIGHTS and FULL BLONDE. YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR COLOR WHEEL.... I'm the friend that learned what "BALAYAGE" does not look like. She picked out a picture from YOUR GALLERY. Your work was no efficient today. QUIT POSTING WORK THAT IS NOT YOURS! The young lady was to nice to let you know her opinion. (You still charged her full price?!) I'm not being rude but just thought you should know how upset I am for her. I LOOKED AT THE PICTURE SHE SHOWED YOU and CLEARLY you did not meet the clients standards of what "BALAYAGE" should look like. You went full blond on her... Please be careful with your future work, you may have done hundreds of hair but looked negligent in this one. She still looks good but you tossed her towards a totally new look. read more

Love my new haircut! Diego was recommended by a friend. He did a great job! Love the layers and my side bangs!

I decided to try this place out, due to some good reviews. Sadly i did not get the results i expected. The owner/hardresser claimed because my hair had too much recent dark coloring etc.... it did or not its Always the hairdressers magic to be put on work...this place just wasnt the one, because i have seen other hairdressers achieve the results i wamted ON MY HAIR TYPE/COLOR.... so it is not impossible... If i would of known this i would of never came here, i will never come back or recommend this place to anyone. I spent all my day for my hair to comeout the same, or worse. And throw hardworking money away... i will make sure i let my friends and family know about my experience on this business...Very disappointed experience read more

I am so upset I am getting married today and they are so irresponsible we had an appointment at 7 am and it is now 8:55am and there're still not here when I made my appointment the girl told me yeah we open at 10 but we can make you an appointment at 7 we ll be here at 7 am. I like their service but it's a very special occasion for me and my family I guess this business is not trust worthy and now I have to find someone to do my hair and make up the last minute I definitely will not be bringing them my business anymore and please save your self and book somewhere else if you have a special occasion. Thank you Mondez salon and staff for making my special day more stress full read more

Been coming to this place for years, Diego is the best and very good prices. Always satisfied!

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. I went this past weekend and Diego did an amazing job. It was my first time. The wait was not very long. When it was my turn I thought it would sort of difficult due to the thickness of my hair, but Diego managed it. Also, he didn't take as long which I absolutely loved by the way. So affordable! Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

I moved to Pomona 2 years ago and I've been looking for someone that I can trust my hair to and also to avoid driving for an hour to my old place, I made the appointment with Diego, very friendly environment, I also got to meet Ms. Yvonne; very nice lady, felt very welcoming. I asked Diego what I was looking for I asked Diego that I wanted to go from highlights and I've been letting them grow for 5 months cause I wanted a balayage; it was like music to my ears when he said; "ok we can do it" which I was happy since my old lady doesn't really do these new styles. I have to say, I am very please love the outcome! Diego did a tremendous job and price is fare, my husband said I looked younger and I agreed...lol, this is my new place to go, Thank you Diego . read more

Diego is the best! He turned my hair from Not to HOtt! He is so talented he should be working on celebrities! The customer service here is amazing and the salon is a cute lil salon hidden in a small parking lot everyone is so friendly and it is very clean. I made the mistake of getting my hair done by someone else but he was able to fix it right away!! never will I do that again Diego never lets me down!! I highly recommend this place to anyone I got so many compliments on my hair I already recommended him to a lot of people thank you so much Diego! read more

I was very impressed and in love with the work that Diego did on my hair. I came in for a cut and color and let me tell you I was not disappointed. Diego was fast and his work is impeccable. I can't express myself not with how happy i'am with my hair. If you're in the area please check them out. read more

Diego is a good guy, and I was recommended to him. I think the language barrier may have played a role... I speak Spanish, but I get along in English, you know? He cut my hair way too short, after explaining to him that I wanted it by my shoulders...he cut my hair by my ears; way too short. Then I had to go back because he left one side longer than the other! (He must of got nervous when I got upset about my hair and just left the other side alone, lol). Oh well. read more

I was not satisfied with my hair. I am not trying to throw shade or disrespect the hairdresser - Diego, however I did not receive the results I expected. Rather than feeling confident about how my hair turned out, I felt embarrassed to end up with purple/gray hair. He said there was too much orange on my hair and a lot of corrections from previous hairdressers, but as a hairdresser it is your responsibility to fix it, especially with what you charge. I do not mind paying over $200 dollars if my hair is what I ask for. I do have thick hair, which I understand is the reason why I paid more however he can't say the labor he put in is why he charged more. I put my labor hours to get my desired hair too, however this experience was a lost on my end. I should be leaving the hair salon with the color I ask for. It's difficult to trust a hairdresser, but this is definitely a learning experience for me. read more
