Everyone is always so communicative and welcoming. This also make scheduling a breeze. Judy always makes me feel comfortable when switching up my hair color and/or style. Her current salon is also a favorite--easy parking and surrounded by cute shops and restaurants. Highly recommend! :)

I have been coming here for two years now. I love Isabel. She is professional, thorough and…read moredetailed-oriented. Kristine is also really good too. I've done traditional highlights, haircuts, balayage and cover grey and styling. The interior is modern and clean. They will offer you complimentary water, coffee, tea, and sparkling water. This salon is located in old town Monrovia off Myrtle and across the street from the public library. The stylists at this salon tend to take their time and let the coloring sit longer, which I have come to appreciate greatly. Except the first time when I went, I didn't know, that their services take longer and ended up running late to my event, which was stressful. Now I plan extra time when I go. I really only had one bad experience and the issue was addressed promptly and professionally by Judy, the owner. So all in all, a really good salon for the Monrovia/Arcadia/Duarte area.

I love that she can tailor my hair color based on my hair profile and previous history with coloring, so I've been very pleased with how the color always comes out and I usually get compliments after my hair is done. Glad to report her work is still great and pricing is very reasonable many years later! Parking is also super easy in the lot and convenient to get in and out of. It's in a huge shared plaza with places like Trader Joe's if you want to get errands done while you're out here.

If you want coloring, Sammi does amazing work (see pics from the other clients). If you want a really good haircut, make Sammi your person. We were just talking the other day how it's so hard now-a-day to get a great haircut. There's so much that goes into it...I always learn something from Sammi (that's my bonus) When I got a full coloring job done a while back, at least 7 yrs back! when I decided I needed to stop box coloring on my own Sammi was the person who recommended me to "go cool" with my color choice. I had a warm red (like a maroon but more red than brown) anywho, so happy with this cool tone we've been keeping since.

She listens to what you want and is very skilled. Her upbeat personality and positivity make you feel like you've known her forever. I usually only cut my hair about 2 times a year (my hair is long) but now that I've found her I will probably go more often. It was very easy to make the appointment online. I highly recommend this salon.

Services included a haircut, bleach, color, head massage, and blow out. Since it is a long service, I recommend bringing some snacks (I brought PBJ and beef jerky), water, and a tablet to watch TV.

If you cannot find parking there is plenty of street parking. Experience: My friend suggested to come here and I'm glad I stopped by. I wanted to get long layers with face framing pieces and she did exactly that. Before the cut she made sure to ask what I want. She checked in with me every step of the way to check if everything was looking good. I got in at 10 am and was out before 11am. The vibes were great and I would come back again. TIPS - Not too sure if walk-ins are welcomed but to save time and be safe, call in ahead of time to book an appointment.

I'm a happy loyal customer since June 2019. It's been almost 2.5 years since I moved to LA from SF…read more I have to say that the quality of hair cut & perm you get here is amazing and consistent every single time which I feel very grateful for. I'm pretty picky about my hair, especially because I'm originally from Japan and I have a different hairstyle expectation that you usually cannot get at a U.S. hair salon. That's been said, if you have a typical Asian guy with hair traits like mine (thick & straight), I highly recommend you give it a try at this hidden gem in Monrovia. I cut my hair every 3-4 weeks, and I get a perm once a 3-4 months at Yumi's place. Yes, you read it right, I get a perm. I know getting men's perm is not common in the U.S, but the truth is it's such an undervalued thing here because permed hair is incredibly easy to manage, which is usually not the case for a typical thick straight Asian guy hair. Additionally, Yumi's place has very low covid risk as it's an individually owned salon, and the only person you meet in person is Yumi. She is very careful about maintaining covid sanitization and I feel safe each time I go there. If you have any questions regarding this review, hit me up and I'll happily answer you from my own experience. Happy 2022!

I let her take full reign of my hair because I just didn't know what type of style would look good for the type of hair I have along with the shape of my head.

She makes you feel comfortable and has such a great positive energy and I love that! Also, if you ever need or treat yourself to a scalp treatment, she offers it as well. It is uhh-mazing! So relaxing. Trust you have to try.

I´ve been planning on getting a haircut for several months and was thinking about changing my look. Mary gave me some suggestions and showed me some photos of her work. I trusted her instincts without hesitation. I´ve never had someone take so much care in styling my hair as Mary did. She is a real artist, taking the time to do a perfect job and and I could sense that she loves what she does. Mary is also fun and interesting, so you´ll definitely enjoy your time with her in the salon. Thank you so much, Mary! I love my hair again!

I desperately needed my bob trimmed and only gave this place a call because no other hair salon…read morewould answer lol. I asked the receptionist what THEIR most convenient time would be to come in, and she said that because I wanted a "specialized haircut" that Maria would be the best stylist for me. Maria was in the background and I heard her say that 9 am on September 13th would work for her, the receptionist repeats this to me. That works for me, the earlier the better. They told me that the base charge would be $65, but once I told them that I wanted an A-line bob, I was told that this "specialized" haircut would start at $75. I'm not even asking for the super short graduated back of the head, just leave my front pieces slightly longer than the rest of the bob. I only need about 2 inches taken off the back anyway. I get to the salon, and it's a ghost town. When I looked them up last week, I saw they open at 10 am, so when they scheduled me for 9 am, I assumed Maria would be here before opening to do my hair. Nope. Waited about 10 mins, called both the Bellisima AND My Chair by Maria phone numbers, nothing. I'm just so confused. Maria herself said 9 am, so why is it 9:23 and I'm STILL not getting my hair done? Super unprofessional, super unreliable, and I'll never give this place a second glance again. Thanks for saving me $75! UPDATE: it's 12 pm, drove by to see if anyone ever showed up -- STILL empty. Couldn't even get a call back. What is going on here???

So many red flags…read more If you have fine virgin hair, I strongly recommend avoiding a digital perm at this salon. My hair was past my waistline when I arrived. The stylist insisted it was far too long and said a significant cut was necessary. I trusted her professional judgment, expecting a healthy trim, but nearly half my hair was cut off. The haircut itself felt rushed and uneven, seemingly done to accommodate the perm rather than with care for overall shape or length. Midway through my appointment, a previous client returned visibly upset, saying her hair did not look permed. While I didn't hear every detail, it immediately raised concerns, concerns that ultimately became my own. Throughout the service, my stylist repeatedly emphasized that my hair was "too fine," that there weren't enough curlers for my hair, and that more hair needed to be cut. If she believed a digital perm would not work on my hair type, she should have been honest from the start and declined the service. The end result: my hair feels fried, is significantly shorter than expected, and shows no real signs of a perm. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this salon. Additional notes: * The smell of cigarettes from the staff smoking heavily fills the salon. I left with a headache, and the combination of cigarette smoke and perm chemicals was overwhelming. * Stylists spoke aggressively in another language, appearing to argue about my service, which felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. * If you discovered this salon through TikTok and were impressed by how attentive they appeared (offering water, snacks, etc.), be aware that this level of service is not consistent. Unless you appear to be a social media personality. Paying over $400 plus tip for this experience was deeply disappointing.
