This was my first time with Patty and it was life changing! She did my hair exactly like how I imagined and even gave me a wash. My hair has never looked better, she has such a comforting vibe and overall the experience was great. It's been so hard finding people who cut hair and do a good job but patty does it all, amazing & kind! Come to her if you want a good haircut :) read more

Patty has been doing my hair for 17 years. She's given me haircuts (bangs, trims, layers) and always leaves me satisfied. I haven't gone with anyone else because she's the best and I don't trust anyone else with my hair. She is really honest with your requests and I love that about her. She started perming my hair 2 years ago and I absolutely love it. I have naturally straight hair and I love curls. read more

This was the first time I came to Patty. She took her time to listen to what I wanted with my hair. I have curly hair and this was my first curly cut! She was nice and kind and listened to me, I wanted to keep my length and that's exactly what she did, only trimmed the damaged ends, gave my hair shape and styled it with a diffuser. Gave me tips on how to do it at home. I also took my daughter to her for her curly hair cut too. She's amazing! I'm definitely coming back. Place is nice and clean, there's parking on the street and they also have parking in the back of the shop. read more

Long overdue review! I went to Patty early last year to get my first curly cut. I had only recently started letting my hair loose with my natural curls. I was used to wearing it in a ponytail or braids. I was ready for something new and decided I'd try short hair with bangs. I was nervous, but I felt like I could trust Patty based on her clients' pictures and reviews. I wasn't sure if it'd suit my face, but Patty advised what she though would look best on me and walked me through her thought process. She washed, cut, and styled my hair and was very kind and talkative during the entire process. I felt like I had known her for a long time although I had just met her. She taught me how to style my curls and how to make my bangs come out how I wanted every time. I've received nothing but compliments from friends and family since she cut my hair! She helped my self confidence and embrace my curly hair. I also appreciate how her prices are very fair and accessible. Thank you, Patty! read more

Patty was incredibly helpful and left me feeling so much better about starting my hair growth journey. I've never had hair longer than a couple of inches but decided I wanted to try it out. When I went to Patty, I had no idea what to do with my hair as it had grown so much but I hadn't learned how to style it at all and defaulted to wearing hats and beanies while it grew out. I even considered giving up the journey of growing it out and just cutting it back to my usual style. But after speaking to Patty and learning about how to properly care for and style my very curly thick hair, I left feeling so much more confident and excited about what my hair could look like in the future. Now 3.5 months later, I'm remembering the great service and positive impact Patty had on me and my hair journey as I continue to grow it out and am excited to see her again soon. read more

If you're looking for a curly hair stylist, Patty is the best! Its a struggle to find someone who knows how to cut it curly hair. Luckily when I moved back to Montebello I found her on yelp and have been going to her for about 9 months. This was my third haircut with Patty, I was ready for a change and boy did she deliver. I wanted to go short but I was a little scared. I showed her some Pinterest pictures and she was like " its cute! Let's do it!" I trusted her opinion. She walked me through the whole thing without cutting too much. Every step she asked if I liked it. I'm really glad I found her, y'all she knows what she's doing! I already got compliments at Trader Joe's read more

Went to get a haircut today for the first time by Patty and I'm in love with my long layers! Can't wait to continue my hair journey with her. She's extremely attentive and her energy makes you feel so welcomed. She took her time cutting, always checking to see if I liked where it was going. I used to cut my hair myself because going to salons felt stressful...never again! Loved the experience and so happy with the results. I recommend her to everyone! Thank you!!!! read more

Great for curly hair, Patty herself at least. Each time I've gone I have made an appointment with Patty. But anyway, she understands how to cut curly hair. From the years of abuse to my curls by those that didn't actually know how to cut it I always thought cutting curly hair while wet was a recipe for disaster but Patty showed me otherwise. read more

After having numerous traumatic experiences with haircuts of my curly hair, Patty left me feeling very happy and confident with the cut she recommended for me. She trimmed off just enough to shape it nicely and she showed me how to style it in a way that enhanced my natural curl. My curls felt light, bouncy, and soft. I highly recommend Patty if you have curly hair and are in a need of a stylist who will work with your individual curly hair needs. It was a great experience and I'm so glad I found her. read more

If you got curly hair, this is your new fav place. Trust. Patty was awesome. She took the time to talk about my type of hair and how I usually style it. She understood how scary it is for curly hair people to get haircuts, since everyone likes to butcher our hair. I went in just wanting my ends clips, since I had so many dead ends. She was receptive when I asked to cut the least possible while still removing all my dead ends. She even took into account how I part my hair and gave me an extra little cut to make my hair pop when it's parted off to the side. My hair felt so much better right away, and it was still at a great length. She was able to recommend some good products for my hair. I liked her so much I am sending my sister to get her hair cut here as well. For once, I have a hair stylist I'm willing to come back to for my next hair cut. read more

First time getting a hair cut with Patty and she was great! Before she started, she gave me her best recommendations on how she would cut it. I put my trust in her and it turned out great. She cut it at a perfect length, just how I imagined. She even recommended for me to purchase the comb she was using. It was really helpful detangling my curly hair with it. I will need to purchase that comb ASAP! She also recommended curly hair products for me to try. I had a great experience with Patty and I will be returning for the next visit. Thanks Patty for sharing your professional skills and all your stories! read more

Wow... just wow. I was super nervous about getting my hair cut because i have curly hair. I reached out to Patty via Yelp with some questions and concerns I had and she patiently explained her process with curly hair. When I arrived to the studio, Patty instantly made me feel comfortable! She explained what she was going to do with my hair and even dried my hair completely (most blow dry it for 10 min leaving it still wet). The best part of the experience was the environment that Patty provided. There was never an awkward moment and had me laughing the whole time. 10/10 recommend. Its been a few weeks since my hair cut and im still in love with it! read more

Beautiful Balayage done by Patty! My hair was not dead or crusty afterwards. You can tell Patty loves her jobs and really tries her best in order to give you the look you desire. The salon itself is nice and cozy. Patty offers you some snacks while you wait for your hair to be done. read more

So, I finally made a change in hairdresser. I trusted the reviews about Patty and went in with confidence. The reviews are accurate! My hair texture changed in the last year. I went from straight/wavy to curly and didn't know how to have it cut or styled. After a year I had enough and I'm glad to have chosen Patty. I walked in with heavy weighed down hair and walked out with bouncy full hair. I was worried about length since I'm trying to grow it out, she kept the length (washed wet hair)! She's fun, and very informative and well I wish I hfound her sooner. I must add that I explained what I was using as a leave in and the results I was getting. I went in with no product in hair so just by description she was able to tell me the product I was using was too heavy for my hair and gave instructions to water it down. So the weekend has passed and yah I'm loving the cut. read more

I have naturally curly hair (type 3B). Patty has worked on my hair for years and when I've wanted my hair straight, she has treated my hair with various straightening products including keratin treatments. Recently, I've decided to wear my hair naturally curly and she cut my hair dry, curl by curl, to shape it around my face and give it dimension in the back making sure it blended in so that it wouldn't look choppy. Patty always keeps up to date with new techniques and styles and is very knowledgeable and her work is comparable to salons such as Devachan and Ouidad. I recommend Patty at In Vogue for all types of hair, but especially for curly girls that need help managing their curls. I included pictures of the keratin treatment and the dry curly cut in the album. read more

I have been a customer of Patty's for over a year. I have loose curly hair and love going to her salon. I dyed my hair for the first time last February and it was an amazing experience. I sent her pictures of what I wanted and she would explain to me the process of each one. Since I didn't want my roots to be dyed she suggested balayage. It came out great and she gave me tips on how to take care of my hair. I plan on making my next appointment soon! read more

Amazing! That is the experience I had while going to this salon and having Patty give me a haircut! I have curly hair and definitely can tell you how many times I have walked into a salon with long hair and had it cut so short and have it cut all the same length that it looks like a a triangle! With Patty she is not scissor happy, she only cuts what she needs and she makes sure it frames your face. 10/10 recommendation! read more

Attention Curly hair people!!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Patty is the stylist every curly girl needs. Patty knows curly hair and is extremely talented at what she does. She makes you feel welcomed, listens to your hair goals. I love her service and attention to detail. After years of searching for a curl specialist, I'm so happy I found Patty on Yelp and decided to give her a try.  I got a haircut with her, she gave me exactly what I wanted kept my length and added volume/fullness. This is the first time Ive ever left the salon satisfied. Ive already booked a bayalage service, im so excited, looking forward to it. read more

I have been going to Patty for a number of years now, since I was in my teens. Being a teenager you know that you can be picky about anything, especially your hair. And as I've grown, nothing has changed! But thank goodness I have a hair stylist like Patty that knows so much about styling and techniques! I recently decided that I wanted to dye my hair for the first time. As soon as I sat in her chair, she handed me a book and I started to look through the vast selection of colors for the perfect one. After going back and forth, I ended up getting stuck between two, but luckily Patty was able to completely customize the color to satisfy my selection. The time flew by, as it does every time I sit in her chair, because she's such a funny, outgoing person with so many stories and good laughs. Before I knew it, my hair was done and the color was absolute gorgeous! I could not believe how awesome it came out and how vibrant it was in the sun. As soon as we stepped outside, a neighboring business door opened and out came a girl who had complimented right away! All in all, Patty is an awesome hairstylist that knows her stuff. I would recommend her to everyone that I know, especially if it pertains to coloring your hair, you won't be disappointed. read more

My daughter had a beauty day today at Stylebar in Montebello. Patty gave us her recommendation to cut the split ends and touch up her highlights. She also educated me on how hormones affect the hair and how split ends do their damage. Good info for a single dad. This salon is clean and everyone here seems happy to be here. Patty also recommended bringing my daughter in every three months instead of 16 months. My daughter and I are both happy with the results and look forward to coming back in August. Oh and they're single dad friendly so dads bring your daughters in. read more

If you have curly hair and need a haircut/dye go to Patty! I love her, not only is she a woman who is empowering other women, she is a hair specialist--best of both worlds. I come and get to spend time talking to her while she gives me such great advice on what I should do in my career, while she allows me just to enjoy going to the hair salon and allowing her to do what she does best. I also love that she knows that curly hair is always different and treats each of her clients as an individual. She creates a haircut that's best for you. I told her about my work schedule, and she right away said to me that I should reconsider the original concept that I wanted. Instead, she showed me pictures of how I should do my hair, and she was right... I love my new hair! So to all of my curly hair gals that have consistently tried going to a salon and hoping to find the right stylist that KNOWS curly hair, don't look any further and see Patty! read more

Patty is hands down the best stylist I have ever been to. She is hilarious and fun to talk to. She made 5 hours at the salon go by so fast and it was so enjoyable. She also makes sure to tell you exactly what to expect and doesn't lie about her talents. She will let you know beforehand if something just cannot be done. She dyed my hair one beautiful shade of red when my hair was about 3 different shades from previous dying and she also dyed my extensions to match and cut them so they would blend with my hair. Everything came out perfect and I will definitely be going only to Patty for my hair from now on. She is definitely a hair stylist goddess!!!! Just amazing!!!!! I love her!!!!! read more
