I usually wait till I travel to Portland for a cut with my regular stylist. It's been months though and my hair was in dire need. My experience with Emma at Alchemist could not have been better. She listened to what I wanted, applied her magic, and I left the studio with my hair and spirit shining from the experience. The result was what I had envisioned only better. I didn't know my hair could look so good. Thank you, Emma!

I Would Go Anywhere Else...... The owner Pete is arrogant,…read moreand he can't cut hair well. My hair is now shorter on the right side than my left side, Uneven, and when I pointed it out, he tells me it's because he is right handed. He didn't fix it. He is over priced, $155 for touching up my roots and I bring my own Goldwell Color & Developer, because I have allergies to Loreal products that are full of toxic chemicals. When I told Pete I would not be coming back, he raised my price on my way out the door on my last visit. He lied to me and said he raised his prices in January, I have been here three times this year, and he lied to my face. He is a very passive-aggressive jerk..... I would Never Trust Pete..... Supercuts can do better than this..... All of my reviews are 5 Stars - You are my only 1 Star Review!! Well Deserved.....

I needed a haircut and color (We moved here 6 months ago from Sacramento) and a new hairdresser. I…read morewent to Andrea for a cut and she did a great job and gave me a fabulous blowout. Feeling confident I went back to have her dye my hair. I had texted her the exact color and toner my hairdresser used. I explained that the highlights were always toned down to give it dimension but she insisted it would be all one color. She fried my highlights by putting me under a hairdryer in foils and whatever toner she supposedly used left me with ugly brassy damaged highlights. I used XMONDO color at home (along with a strong healing conditioner) until I could make it back to Sacramento.

Susanna is a truly amazing hairstylist. She was so gentle with my hair, even throughout the…read moredetangling process. As she washed, cut, and styled my hair, she told me what she was doing and checked with me before doing anything. At other salons, getting my hair washed can be an uncomfortable experience for me sometimes, but Susanna went out of her way to ensure that I was as comfortable as possible each step of the way, providing extra towels for my neck and checking if I was okay. When it came time to style my hair, I showed her a photo of how she styled it the previous time and she recreated it perfectly, spending extra time to add gorgeous waves. My hair was beautifully bouncy, voluminous, and healthy by the end of our appointment. I always feel so confident and refreshed after visiting Salon Beija Vu, and this will definitely be my go-to hair salon on the Monterey Peninsula for years to come! The salon itself has a beautifully-decorated interior, and it is on one of the cutest streets in downtown Monterey. There are many unique art/antique pieces in the salon, a beautiful chandelier, and big windows that let in plenty of natural light. It feels like a movie set!

I'm so glad I did...I have been to quite a few stylists before who said they were good with curly hair, even one who had the Deva training, but not one of them gave me an education on how to deal with my curls at home. Diana told me things I've never heard before and even sent me home with a cheat sheet. My hair went from an untamed lion's mane to a cute curly cut that makes me smile when I look in the mirror...I haven't felt that way in ages. She also didn't put pressure on me to buy products, which I greatly appreciate. I have a new hair stylist!!!

I just moved to the area and was excited to have my first haircut in a while. Jay is an experienced hairdresser and gave me a great haircut. That being said, she was complaining that she didn't know my hair was long prior to the appointment and ended up charging me $155 for a simple layered haircut, no color. I even came to the appointment with my hair washed and still wet, and she insisted on washing it before cutting it. I was happy with my cut and asked the total, and she wouldn't say it while other clients were present. She handed me a calculator with the total on it (155) and wouldn't look me in the eye as I paid her. Again, it was a good haircut but very sad to leave the salon feeling like I was taken advantage of. I wanted this to be a place I could return but sadly I won't. I hope others can have a better experience.

Best haircut and styling I've had in years! She was sweet and personable. I enjoyed the experience!read more
