I've had a lot of compliments on my hair since Fred cut and colored my hair red.The spa is beautiful! My friend Allyson suggested that I get my hair done there because they gave her beautiful blonde highlights. My daughter got highlights and somehow they lightened her hair without using bleach. I can't think of the woman's name that did my daughter Aiyana's hair but I will try to update this review if I remember her name. read more

Actually, you were not transparent. In fact, when I politely text you 12/4 to ask why you charged me so much higher than your starting prices you never responded. Let it be known to all that Monique refused to refund any portion of my gratuity despite the fact that she messed up my hair. She has poor customer service skills and since she can't give a proper haircut, she is clearly in the wrong profession. I wouldn't trust my hair to her if I were you. Here is the picture, worth more than words. read more

I made a haircut appointment with Monique via this app and she responded very quickly! She was so nice and helpful right off the bat. When I went in for my appointment she listened to what I wanted and gave her feedback and reasoning as to how much hair I should cut off to make it healthy. We decided on cutting about 4 inches off (maybe more?). I really appreciated her feedback! Monique left me so happy with my haircut and it was a pleasure to get to know her. She's a very genuine and down to earth person. read more

I highly recommend Monique if you want a change or just a trim. It was my 1st time in over 20yrs that I actually dyed my hair. I was so nervous but after telling Monique I needed a trim and wanted some color she came up with the best color combo I could've ever dreamed of. I can sometimes get very uncomfortable with being touched and some how Monique always knows when I'm getting close to my limit and she will explain what she is doing and how long I have left to go and will go above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable. Thank you tons for having the patience and taking the time to make me happy. I highly recommend her for anyone who wants a change and might be a little nervous or uncomfortable. read more

Monique Hair By Design - My amazing new hair color! I'm beyond happy. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Whittier, California

Currently trying to go from black to light brown balayage with some blonde! Monique did a great job at explaining that this would be a process if we wanted to keep my hair from falling out since black is such a difficult color to remove. Though this was only the first session, I'm super happy with the results and excited to see the dimensional changes! My hair did not feel or look "fried" after bleaching it! Thanks Monique! read more

First of all I'm very greatful I found Monique on yelp. The process of making an appointment was easy she got back to me very promptly an I was able to make an appointment within days.

I need to start off with my hair type because it can be challenging for many stylists. I have a lot of thick curly frizzy hair, I always warn stylists and ask if they can handle it. Before getting started we chatted about what I want and what is realistic for my hair. I trusted Monique's judgement and in the end I was impressed with the results. Both cut and color came out better than I imagined. read more

Upon meeting her I immediately felt so welcomed and comfortable and knew I had made the right choice! I loved my end results, the color and cut are exactly what I wanted! I highly recommend her and I cannot wait for my next appointment! read more

So happy I was able to find Monique. I'm a mom of two little ones and juggling a salon appointment takes a village! What I absolutely appreciate was that Monique listened to me. She didn't cut away like Edward Scissorhands! I have curly hair and a simple cut could turn into something more if you don't pay attention to the various lengths. Monique has similar hair so she totally understood. I was also coming in after 8 months of an old ombré blend. Monique was able to get me back to my natural color and keep length. My hair needed a little TLC. Now it feels bouncy and super healthy and I love it! When my girls did come in the double stroller with daddy to pick me up they did have to wait awhile but all the ladies were so sweet and offering treats to accommodate us. It's the little things like this that make "Mommy Hood" so much easier and makes me HIGHLY recommend a beautiful salon (it's so light and airy) and a wonderful hair stylist like Monique! I've been to a plethora of salons in my life and Monique is real. read more

I was very disappointed in the color done on my daughter's hair. I would not return here for hair color at all. Monique tried to fix it, but unfortunately, it was not successful. read more

Made an appointment to see Monique after a couple of months of following her page on Instagram. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. I have curly hair so I always think twice about haircuts since it could easily turn bad with curly hair. I went in for a cut and highlights and I am so happy with my new look. The atmosphere of the salon is awesome. I will definitely be coming back to see Monique read more

Monique is so nice and made my hair look so good compared to what it was. At first I wasn't sure what to do with my hair but monique told me the best options that will work for me along with how to maintain it. I would highly recommend going to her to make your hair look and feel great. Wish I could give 6 stars!! read more

I've gotten a trim and root touch ups. She does a great job. So glad I found a hair dresser that knows her stuff and is sweet!
