Had a haircut by Melanie Olaeta at Prim studio! She went above and beyond to give me the best quality and work with my thick troublesome hair. The owner is also very sweet and you can feel the good vibe in the place! They definitely want you to be 100% happy with your hair and you can tell that they are so knowledgeable in all that they do! I did a drastic very short hair cut! I call it my mom Bob/pixie cut! read more

Crystal is a rock star. I came to her with a rats nest of beaded extensions I got on a whim in Istanbul. Truly I was worried I would have to have it all cut out. My hairstylist had told me she would lean how and give me a good price. But second time around I knew I needed a seasoned professional. Crystal saved my baby thin hair and managed to have me looking natural with a few tape ins to hold me over, suggesting time for my hair to heal and see her in 8 weeks. I'm booked and very happy I found a pro in all aspects cut color style and extensions. Thank you Crystal see you in December read more

I have naturally curly hair. I have searched for years to find a stylist who can take me on. Crystal killed it. I have never been happier. Next we are evening out the color and slowly blending in my new grays. Framing my face with slight summer face-framing highlights. Then, continuing on to keep shaping and finding my ultimate curly hair cut. It takes time for your professional to get to know you, your personality and the cut that matches all of that! I'm excited for this journey with Crystal! read more

I enjoyed my hair appointment this past Saturday with Crystal of Prim Salon in PG. I found her on Yelp !! Good reviews . She answered me when I called her the week before . I am new to the area. I highly recommend her. Very highly skilled stylist.! She cut , colored and flat ironed my hair . I was hesitant with her being new but I was so pleased. Everyone at my worked raved about my hair transformation when I first returned to work. Thanks so much to Crystal. Nice vibe too. She is very personable . read more

Brianna is the bomb " she knows her stuff and is good with color and styling . Thank you so much for bringing me back to life .... My hair cut is perfect.. see you again soon beautiful. All the ladies there do a very good job doesn't really matter who does it " I would not go anywhere else but here"!!!! read more

I love Prim. All the stylist are amazing and so kind and loving. Bri did my hair and I continue to come back because I love how my hair turns out. I'm very happy and always pleased with the end result. Everyone is very kind and professional. I will continue to come back. I love it here. In my personal opinion it's the best salon in the area. read more

Crystal is literally the best hairdresser you could ever think of. She is very caring and makes sure you are content with your look. The salon is always very clean and organized. Good vibes and feels comfortable. I definitely recommend that you ladies check out this place next time! read more

Victoria was a absolutely amazing, kind and took my hair vision to a whole new level the studio is gorgeous, clean and very comfortable. Highly suggested and will be back! read more

My First Visit to Chrystal's hair salon was upstairs in the same building Prim is in now. It was just as classy and well done as her permanent location downstairs... One thing I've learned about Chrystal... She's a fixer... Constantly upgrading her staff, location, and products they sell, which are the best the market offers. The Very best part of Chrystal's business is Chrystal... She has a delightful artistic eye for any type of hair, style, Color and cut. I always leave thrilled with her work Which lasts longer then any other cut & color I've had all my life... She actually lets my hair stay long and styled with all my color request... The other gals who work there all are just as talented and will work on your hair with the ease of a professional. They have Wedding packages and will also accommodate your schedule to mix with theirs... They have a lot to offer and are definitely easy to work with... Check them out! You won't regret it! read more

Prim Hair Studio - The back of my normally frizzy hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

Brianna gave me a great haircut and colour (and did a shape and tint on my eyebrows). I was really happy with the results. Going to a new hairdresser always brings a bit of trepidation, but she was amazing. Others in the salon were also friendly and welcoming and it was a very pleasant experience being there. I can highly recommend. Thanks you for your very professional attitude and high level of skill. ps - I read one of the reviews and I assure I am a real person. read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I'm so happy with my hair. Victoria did an amazing job. The salon had a really great vibe- everyone was so kind and they were very accommodating to some of my time constraints. I would 100 percent recommend Prim Salon! read more

THEY RUINED MY HAIR. I went here for a trim and a keratin treatment. When I arrived, they told me that they didn't have enough keratin, but could offer me gloss instead for the same price (did I get a good deal? I'm not sure). When my stylist was done, and I looked in the mirror, I said, "my hair is a different color" to which she replied, "no, it isn't," to which I said, "no, it is." (Because, obviously, I would know. Why would she try and argue this??) Then she said, "oops, it wasn't supposed to do that." Words you never want your stylist to say! I've waited a month to post this because I was hopeful the color would fade. It didn't; I now have roots. I've avoided having roots my whole life. Then, I went here. They don't know what they're doing. I'll never be back. Edited to add: I went through their five star recommendations and found fake accounts, accounts with no profile and only one recommendation, that they must have created in order to give themselves five stars. How completely unethical. read more

This is the 4th salon I've gone to since relocating from Santa Clara County 4 years ago. Prim will now be the only salon I go. My stylist, with some consulting with the owner Crystal, finally heard me! When I asked for what I normally get, she showed me how wrong it was, for my hair.....the next 3 hours was bliss. Fun, high energy salon, good conversations and skill, what's not to love! (oh, and half the price of the salon in Carmel Valley I went for a few appointments that NEVER listened to my requests) read more

Thank you so much to Chrystal and her team for making my daughters wedding a dream come true. Thank-you to every one Chrystal, Ashlyn, Victoria the hair experts, Brianna and Melanie the markup artists. They took the time to make sure all of the brides needs were met and made her fill like a princess on her wedding day .. I was grateful for their professionalism in every step, and the care they took the make sure everything went so smoothly. I highly recommend Prim Hair studio for your wedding needs. Thanks again Chrystal and your team. read more

I'm so glad I found this salon so close to my house. Brianna gives me a great cut every single time. I was also very pleased with the keratin treatment she did last year, and I'll plan to have her do it again. It's a fun salon, clean, and friendly! read more

Briana and Chrystal are the dynamic duo! I took my 13 yr old for a keratin treatment to tame her extremely thick, long, and wavy hair. The process took a while, as was to be expected, but the results, including the trim, were exceptional. My daughter is over the moon! Thanks, ladies!! We will both be back! read more

My wife had the worst haircut experience ever. Very rude. Not worth $100 for just a haircut.

My sister and I were in town for the holidays and wanted new haircuts. Our stylists did an amazing job. I've never had my hair cut dry before so I was apprehensive, but their knowledge and skill put me at ease. They listened to what we wanted and helped us to meet all of our goals with the texture we have (my sister and I both have pretty flat hair and don't style it a lot, so we wanted something pretty but also low maintenance). We're both super happy with the result: it's definitely the best haircut I've had in years. Prim also has such a fun and friendly atmosphere -- I loved getting to know our stylists and hearing their stories. read more

Went to Chrystal at Prim based on Yelp reviews and pictures. She got my color just perfect to hide the gray and tone down the brassy tones. Gave me a great cut and styled it to camouflage my thinning area on top. It took a bit longer and cost a bit more than I pay at home in Arizona, but worth it. I'll make another appointment next time I'm in PG! read more

Do not get your hair dyed by Brenda she destroyed my hair. She left bleach on it for hours, my hair has been literally following out and breaking off because of how weak it is. Brenda did not offer a refund and got offended I did not like my hair. On top of this she did not give the style of highlights like I asked/showed pictures. I'm worried I'm going to lose my all of my hair. read more

So grateful for Chrystals expertise. Honestly, the best hair care I have had for a very long time. Chrystal identified the care my hair needed while keeping my overall desire for how I want my hair to look intact. Professional, capable, knowledgable, and organized. I highly recommend Prims in PG. read more

Even when she couldn't fit me in For a last-minute appointment, she found me somebody else and set it up for me. Such a help! ------ AWESOME COLOR & CUT. I'm delighted! Here's why: 1) I called 15 places (no exaggeration) and NO ONE was available. Then, after she first recommended someone else who turned out not to be available, and then Crystal at Prim was able to rearrange some things and fit me in the same day!!! This is unheard of in Monterey hair salons. I know I was very lucky -- but I'm so grateful. 2) She's charming, smart and thoughtful, with 17 years experience and loads of people skills. 3) I gave her a difficult color challenge and she aced it - the first time she saw me. Plus, she gave me a precision haircut. LOVE LOVE LOVE. read more

Awesome atmosphere! Chrystal is very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. She knew exactly how to bring to life what I had in mind for my hair color and she did a wonderful job. There might have been some confusion as to whether or not my appointment was actually booked at the time I called (which was a week prior), but Chrystal was able to accommodate me at no problem... They even offer coffee/water while you wait! So nice :) read more

I've been coming here on and off for about a year now between being in college and coming home during school breaks. I've loved every haircut from every stylist who's cut my hair. They're all sweet and amazing at what they do!! I always leave feeling so much more confident. I appreciate their consistency, reliability, and professionalism. read more

Chrystal was super sweet and helpful doing my hair and my 10-year-old daughter's hair for family reunion pictures! Thirty of us were together for the first time in 15 years so we hired a photographer to document the occasion. I'm from Detroit and I didn't want to lug hair styling stuff across county to Monterey. Chrystal created time for us in her busy schedule so that we could feel beautiful and confident for the photo session. My daughter loved the experience, she got right on my phone and started posing for selfies. Too cute! I mentioned to Chrystal that I had a cut before vacation that I didn't know how to style because that stylist shooed me out without drying it or checking the cut. A true professional, Chrystal styled my hair AND checked my cut! Chrystal is super sweet and professional! read more

Today I had my first haircut at a new for me Prim Hair Studio with Briana. Everything went really well and I am happy with my new haircut. Brianna is very patient, attentive and gentle with your hair. She knows and does her job very well. I have a full head of hair, so it wasn't an easy job for Briana but with her talent and skills she nailed it. Highly recommended! read more

I had a last minute formal engagement and I wanted hair extensions. A co worker referred me to Prim hair studio and I booked a date with Chrystal. I LOVED IT. She was very informative and educational with the installation and wellbeing of my hair. She's honest and straightforward with the process. I've been coming back consecutively for move ups and the quality of the hair we install is top notch compared to prior locations I've gone to. I am much more staisfied and wouldn't go anywhere else . Highly recommend. read more

I was very happy with my service today with Brianna. I will definitely be back!

Chrystal and her team are amazing!! I have know Chrystal for years and she is the only one I trust with my hair. The salon is beautiful and welcoming and her skill is incredible. Her other stylists are fantastic also. Highly recommend Prim for all your hair care needs !! read more

Chrystal saved my hair !!! She's AMAZING! So knowledgeable and talented. I'm new to the area and had trouble with my hair color from a previous stylist. She was able to fix it and I feel like myself again! So happy ! Highly recommended her studio !!! read more

Honestly, the first experience was good. Downhill after that. I do not recommend this place at all. Ruined my hair, would not take responsibility for it and refused to fix it. Unbelievable. Especially the owner Crystal. I read some other reviews to see if I was the only one with this experience and apparently I'm not. read more

A much needed hair cut while visiting PG led me to Prim. Chrystal is a master with scissors. She cuts hair dry which, for me, gives a beautiful finished look. read more

Ashley at Prim did an amazing job on my highlights, cut, and style. I am just blown away at the transformation!! Ashley was fast and friendly and not to mention affordable; I highly recommend to anyone. read more

Melanie was great! I had my hair done for an event in Carmel and she was friendly and did a wonderful job. Exactly what I asked for. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Thank you! read more

Had a shampoo blow dry with Brenda. Best scalp massage ever. Loved the final look!

Prim Hair Studio is wonderful! Not only did Chrystal do an awesome job with my color and cut (and I have long, very thick hair), but she is such a lovely person and has created a warm, welcoming environment in her studio. I just moved to the area and this was the first salon I've checked out - but there is no reason to look any further. I found my place! read more

Chrystal is wonderful! She came highly recommended by someone and also after reading the raving reviews, I had a good feeling. Chrystal is truly skilled at her craft and has an eye for her clients and what works best/doesn't. She made me feel at ease, easy to talk to, was very down to earth, and wasn't pushy on products and even gave me some samples to try to see if I like it. I love what she did with my hair today, simple and I am still able to style as I normally do. I liked her and the cut so much that I actually pre-booked my next appointment, which I have *never* done in the past! So that should tell you something! :) Thank you, Chrystal for taking the time out of your busy schedule to fit me in today! See you soon! read more
