I've been going to Sammi for almost 10 years, and even after moving 30 miles away, I still make the drive because she's absolutely worth it. I trust her knowledge and experience completely. She takes the time to understand exactly what I want and is always honest about what's possible. I really appreciate how upfront and thorough she is- especially when making changes to my hair. There are never any surprises. She listens carefully and delivers exactly what she says she will, which hasn't always been my experience at other salons. Her appointments are always on time, and if there's ever a delay, she communicates ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. Her studio at Sola is cozy and private, creating such a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. On top of all that, she does AMAZING balayage work. You can truly tell she loves what she does, and it shows in her work. At this point, it feels like I'm visiting an old friend every time I go in. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair- highly recommend! read more

I'm still coming here many years later :) Sammi has become my go-to hair stylist for my hair cutting and dying needs. 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. read more

Sammi Situ - Pink - Hair Stylists Near Me - Monrovia, California

Sammi is awesome! I'm so glad I found her and so happy to have her as my hair pro for a decade. Unless I move out of state or something, she's stuck with me. 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. read more

I just went back to Sammi last week and she still continues to be my one and only stylist! She's easy to book and her website shares clear services and price ranges. Sammi does ask to consult (on her own time!) with you before confirming your booking, but it's because she really cares and wants to make sure she can achieve what you're trying to do with your hair. She's got a lot of experience under her belt, I would trust her with any style. Her IG has a good sampling of what she's done for other people. The other thing I'll note is that the studio she's in has individual rooms, so you're not in a huge noisy salon hearing everyone else's gossip or smells. I continue to be a fan and am going to book another appointment ASAP to do my color again too! Highly, highly recommend. She's worth it! read more

I've been seeing Sammi since 2021. I originally went to her because she offered a no-bleach balayage (which is so hard to find!) and from my very first appointment, I was in love. The color looked natural, grew out seamlessly, and people immediately noticed how good it looked without it ever feeling "overdone.". I kept coming back (even after I lived out of state for some time) for retouches because I knew I just wanted my hair to look like this all the time. This year, I did my first color treatment in a peekaboo style, and wow. Best decision ever. Not only did it look amazing from the first day, but even as it faded, the undertones stayed beautiful through every stage, fading to a blonde that looked like it was meant to be there (not just faded out). On top of being incredibly talented with color and cuts, Sammy is a joy to talk to, and clearly puts in the work to stay up to date and knowledgeable about the hair industry and trends. I highly recommend giving Sammi a shot, you are in for a treat!!! read more

If you're looking for a stylist you can actually trust, go see Sammi. I've been with her for over ten years, and she's the only one I trust with my hair. She knows how to make every style--long, short, or in between--fit my face perfectly. If I bring in a picture, she either nails it exactly or tweaks it so it looks even better. What really makes her stand out is that she does fades with scissors instead of clippers, so the cut grows out more naturally. I'm really picky about my hair, but I've stayed with her all this time for a reason--she always gets it right. read more

I've been coming to Sammi for my hair coloring needs for around 8 years and counting. I appreciate how Sammi is always thoughtful, kind, honest, and timely. It's so easy to book her services through the Vagaro app and I like that I don't have to be concerned about parking since Solas Salon is by a huge parking lot. You can be assured that Sammi will only be focused on making your hair pretty when you're in her hands, which is not the case in many other hair salons where they would be juggling more than one client's hair at the same time. Sammi strives to deliver the vision you have in mind but if that's not possible to achieve, she will give you her honest opinion upfront. Sammi is always on time, and I find her fees to be reasonable. I love that Sammi remembers my preferences each time and I always leave her salon with pretty, soft, and shiny hair. read more

Sammi is still the only person I trust with my hair. I recently took the plunge with some color and trusted Sammi with fun purple peekaboo highlights. I love how it turned out! The color was so beautiful and vibrant, and I got a lot of compliments the next day at work. What I appreciate the most about Sammi is she's all about achieving your desired outcome while being realistic about its maintenance, and preserving healthy hair. Whether you're in the market for a cut or color, look no further. read more

I've been coming to Sammi for many years, and she never disappoints. Her no bleach balayage technique is perfect for achieving natural, dimensional color without compromising the health of my hair. Every time I leave her chair, my hair looks soft, glossy, and beautifully blended. Best of all, it grows out seamlessly and you don't need a retouch for a few months. Highly recommend Sammi if you want stunning, low maintenance color without the damage. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair! read more

I used to hop from one stylist to another because I could never find someone I felt comfortable sticking with. That all changed once I found Sammi. I've been going to her for over 5 years now, and I can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. Sammi is amazing at what she does, whether it's a haircut, roots touch-up, or full balayage. Not only is her work top-notch, but she's also such a kind, professional, and down-to-earth person. If you're looking for a stylist who cares about her clients and has the skills to back it up, I can't recommend Sammi enough! read more

Sammi has been doing my hair for 15+ years now, and it's always been worth driving all the way from West LA for these sessions. She listens to exactly what you want and executes it with efficiency and skill. What I haven't found with prior hairstylists is that my hair grows out so nicely that it looks just as great 3 months out as when I walked out of Sammi's salon. During the cut, you share stories and she's interested to get to know you. It says a lot when almost all of her clients are long term ones. My haircut is always simple but she is super talented for those who want to try something new! read more

It took me a few years to grow out my hair for a balayage, so I definitely didn't want to cheap out on picking a good hair colorist. I was recommended to Sammi by my regular hairstylist who moved away. Sammi was definitely worth the money. She was very upfront and through during the consultation. I wanted ash blonde with a hint of pink/purple. She recommended ash blonde and a few streaks of mauve. During the appointment, she worked her magic and added a little silver too. I liked how she put thought into how the color fades. The outcome was amazing and as the colors lighten during each wash, there was added dimension. When I wear my hair straight, it looks simple light brown. Once I curl it, WOW I get so many compliments! I love my hair! read more

I came here on 12/27/19 for a haircut. This was my second time back. Sammi did an excellent job for my first haircut, but this time around I was very disappointed. I came in requesting to have 1.5 inches of hair to be cut and to make my hair lighter. My hair was lighter, but the back of my hair is very uneven. I didn't realize this until my friend pointed it out. It's partially my fault for not noticing this at the end of the haircut session, but I trusted Sammi that my hair would look great. It's not worth the $70 that I paid and definitely not worth the generous amount of tip I gave her. I did contact her regarding my haircut and she told me to come back, but the salon is out my way. read more

Had a cut and balayage done by Sammi the other day, and I'm very pleased with the results! The cut is according to what I requested, and I love the way the caramel color blends in with the black hair so that my gray hair isn't so niticeable. She also made sure that I understood that this process does not get rid of the gray. Sammi is very cautious about making sure you have not been exposed to any illness beforehand, and we both wore masks. read more

I went to Sammi to get a no bleach balayage. Since it was my first time getting my hair colored. I made sure to do a lot of research of what I wanted and the place I wanted to go to get my hair done. After months of contemplating I decided to go with Sammi! Since I was going to color my hair, Sammi made sure to do a consultation first. She was very informative and she answered all my questions regarding the no bleach balayage. The day of the hair appointment (09/20/2020), I arrived at the location. Parking was very easy! The protocol was to text Sammi when you first arrive so that she can meet you in front of the building. When entering the building there was a hand sanitizer station and a temperature check before heading into Sammi's studio. Before we got started on the coloring we talked a little bit again about what I wanted! I showed Sammi a couple of pictures of the final look I was aiming for. The whole coloring process took a little less than 3 hours. Sammi was very patient, answered all my questions through out the process, and was very easy to talk to! The outcome was perfect! It was exactly what I was looking for. Sammi did a fantastic job!! I'm happy that I decided to go to Sammi to get my hair colored for the first time. -Alina read more

Sammi is the best stylist I've had yet. I'm a Latina with thick, wavy hair. Her haircuts grow out so beautifully because she cuts according to your hair type. Her initial video consultation is a great way for her to get to know you in an efficient manner. She takes her time and makes sure that you are satisfied! I've had three haircuts with her and the last haircut I changed my style completely and asked her do a pixie style. She did such a phenomenal job. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Sammi was really nice and helpful. When I first came in, we had a consultation of how I wanted my hair to be like and whether my haircut would fit my face shape. Although $75 was not cheap but you pay for quality work. If I need any future cuts I'll be sure to go to her again. read more

What do you do when your usual stylist moves to another state in the middle of covid and you haven't had a cut and color in forever? Not sure about you, but I went with whoever was willing and able to do my hair, not once, but twice! The outcomes were terrible. Luckily, I found Sammi. From our very first virtual consultation to 3 cuts and 2 colors later, she's always been very efficient with her time while being very thorough and meticulous with her work. I feel like she spent almost a year just correcting the other stylists mistakes, so it wasn't until recently that we really got to do styles I was going for. The best way to tell that her work is remarkable is when my friends' friends see me in their pics and want to duplicate my style, which happens often! read more

I've been going to Sammi for a few years and always come out with beautiful, bouncy hair. She makes the homebody in me want to paint the town red. My usual is roots retouch every 8 weeks with a cut or trim every other visit. Sammi was so honest, she said I don't need a cut every 8 weeks. Her cuts frame my face, has movement, and is low maintenance. Her style is natural - blow dry on low/medium heat and natural beach waves for just a few seconds on the curling iron. My grays are coming in so I've settled on a simple, natural color but Sammi somehow coaxes in some shine and highlights. She's an artist. Other huge bonuses - she does not double book (omg such a time saver not waiting around while your stylist is juggling multiple clients!), she isn't on the phone while she's actively working on me (old fashion respect), and she uses a booking system where I can request my own appointments (so smart!). These bonuses are very unique to stylists in my experience. Not only is Sammi talented, she is a good human being. She is kind, she is respectful, and she is thoughtful, even taking extra care during Covid to protect her client base. I feel fortunate to have found Sammi. read more

Sammi is truly the best. She so knowledgeable and talented beyond words. Every time she does my hair (cut and color) I'm always happy and result is always what I want. She is amazing at what she does. You can truly see how passionate she is and truly cares about her customers. Sammi is a true artist and I definitely recommend her. read more

Sammi is just as sweet as she is talented. I must've sent her dozens of texts, trying to explain the hair I wanted. By the time I actually made it in for my appointment, I was pretty much up for anything. Sammi was so knowledgeable on what would work for my hair, skin tone and the look that I wanted. We ended up agreeing on something I felt comfortable with AND would fit with my low maintenance style. Let me tell you...I ended up LOVING my new hair. Before she even styled it, it already looked amazing. And the best part? Her prices are super reasonable. Do yourself a favor and go see Sammi. I'm so happy I've finally found a colorist that I can trust. I'll be back! read more

Since it was my first time dying my hair, I did a lot of research to find an experienced and talented stylist. I decided to go with Sammi and she was AMAZING. Because I did not know anything about the hair dye process, she made sure to update me throughout my session and was very attentive to details. I got a cut and grey balayage and was very satisfied with the results. She was also honest in telling me that the grey would fade very quickly. It has been a couple months since the session, but my hair has faded into a very pretty blonde - which I expected. I would highly recommend Sammi to anyone and I am definitely going back to touch up my hair! read more

As someone who don't do a whole lot of hair color, I found it very confusing choosing the right color and treatment. I have inquired multiple salons and found Sammi had all the skills and knowledge to answer all my questions. I had a non-bleached brown balayage session with her six months ago and decided this time for a purple highlight with partial bleach. Sammi understands costumer very well and makes her hair treatment caters to each individual. She loves what she does which shows through her work. She is very detailed oriented and does all work by herself with the help from another assistant. She was attentive to me the whole seven hours. I drove six hour from Sf to see her, sat in the chair for seven hours and the result was totally worth it. If you are looking for someone who has the skill and a good down to earth personality, look no further. And if you are still deciding whether you should do colors on your hair, I say go for it. Normal is boring. Be different and show it through your hair :p read more

Well I found Sammi on Yelp and followed her Instagram. I'm very picky on stylists for my hair. I always do a bit of research before picking the right one. Sammi is very nice and patient with my hair. At first I wanted an ash blonde balayage with an hint of silver. But I was ok if my hair turned out ash blonde in case my hair couldn't go that light. I knew I was gonna be there for hours because I was going pretty light on my hair. Sammi kept checking up on me to see how I was doing or if I needed anything which was very nice of her. I sat there almost the entire day because it takes time for my hair to get light. When Sammi started curling my hair, I was so happy to see the end results. It was way much better than what I wanted in the beginning. I was a happy customer at the end. Not only did Sammi achieve my hair dream but my hair did not feel dry and damage after bleaching. My hair was soft and smooth. Pricing: tbh its pretty reasonable for the end results because it came with a treatment. If you're planning on going light with your hair, I recommend to bring a portable charger for your phone because it takes hours. If you want to book Sammi for your hair, book a month or two ahead beca she can get pretty busy. I would totally recommend Sammi to my friends if they want to do a balayage for their hair. I seriously love my hair. read more

Sammi Situ - Ash blonde/silver balayage done by Sammi - Hair Stylists Near Me - Monrovia, California

10/10 experience!!! I wanted to dramatically change my hair and go with an oil slick look. I texted Sammi to get the process started. Super easy to book- she has online booking. I started by meeting her for a 15 minute consultation- I was pretty nervous for such a big change (I have very rarely colored my hair, and never with fashion colors) She took the time in the consultation to really listen to what I had to say, and even was careful to repeat what she was hearing- I can tell that she really wants to make her customers happy and insure what they are looking for is what they get. After meeting with her, I couldn't book my appointment fast enough! Day of, she took time to look over my hair once more and explain to me her plan. Throughout the entire process, she was very clear with what she was doing and why. It was a long process (5+ hours) and we actually went over our appointment. I didn't mind at all, but what I appreciated most is she didn't rush anything at all- my color was taking a little longer to set in my hair, and she kept checking and saying it wasn't ready and that if I was okay with it, she wanted it to continue to sit. I am so so happy with my hair, and I really feel like she was really transparent before and during the process on the care and upkeep of fashion colors. Because I had never done anything like this, there are certainly things I had no idea of that she walked me though- get a black bath towel, color may rub off a bit, etc. I appreciated she walked me though everything. I absolutely found a stylist I can trust, and can't wait to see her again! read more

Sammi Situ - Love my oil slick! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Monrovia, California

I booked an appointment and same day she canceled it because I didn't respond quickly enough to her messages about a video consultation. All I wanted and booked was a simple haircut. No color or anything fancy. What happened to the days you can just walk in and tell the person how much you want cut off and they just easily do it? Also, for first timers it's a promo price of around $80 which I find pretty expensive but was willing to pay because it's close to where I live now and I saw she got good reviews on service. Oh well. read more

Sammi is AMAZING! She truly saved my hair from the worse case of Ombré anyone has ever seen! I booked a consultation with her in order to get some insight and what would be the best thing to do to save my hair. She was very professional and personable, she ensured I understood the process and the fact that after all, yes my hair could be saved. 3 weeks later I was back at the salon eager for my hair to be transformed and let me tell you....SHE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations. I truly thought my hair was beyond damaged and I wouldn't be able to get my desired color (Rose gold) but there she was to prove me wrong! I highly highly recommend Sammi to color your hair. I ended up with a Balyage with some metallic rose gold tones and it looks AMAZING!! read more

Sammi Situ - Hair Stylists Near Me - Monrovia, California

Sammi is SO great - love her and her work! My first impression of her was that she's very knowledgable and passionate about her work. I don't know much about hair, but when I came in for my consultation, she broke it down for me and told me what I should be expecting from the whole hair dye/bleach process. She genuinely cares about your hair and what the treatments will do to you. I got my hair trimmed from her and she's very cautious when doing so - unlike other places where they just chop it off, she constantly asks if you're okay with the length and will go shorter if you ask. For bleaching and coloring my hair, she is very patient and will constantly check up on you. Although you're sitting in the chair for a long time, she's a lovely person to have a conversation with and just wants you to feel comfortable. The outcome of my hair was AMAZING. I was so shocked that my hair could ever look like that, haha. I just showed her a picture of the hair I want and she was able to copy it. Will definitely back to have my hair toned and cut :) read more

Thanks to Sammi for giving me new color! I had been thinking about bleaching and coloring it for a long time and finally got the guts to do it after hearing about Sammi from a friend. Sammi was so detail oriented and very realistic about the process in explaining everything. In the treatment process her and her assistant took their time to apply each step. Due to the amount of hair that i have, it was not a quick process, but they were very patient and took care through the whole event (lasted almost 5 hours!) The resulting color was exactly what I wanted and I loved that they were also so excited to see the transformation as well! Tip: Book one month in advance and if its your first time, do get a consultation so you can have a good idea of what is to come. Ask all your questions! read more

My second time with Sammi, I got a short hair cut a few months ago and now back for the no bleach balayage. The hair cut was great, she was able to style it to shape my head and face. Usually after a hair cut, my hair only look great on the day of and not after but with Sammi, my hair looks even better days after and it's been growing into the style very well. The no bleach balayage was a great option for me cause I've always been worried of having dry hair after bleaching. She went over the process and made sure that I knew what I was getting. Overall, wonderful experience both times and would definitely go back in the future. read more
