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.

When I told Pete I would not be coming back, he raised my price on my way out the door on my last visit.

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.

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!

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!!!

It was rushed. I also asked for and paid for a DevaCut for my curly hair but it was nothing like the DevaCuts I have had before were there are several steps in the process (she only cut when it was dry when it's supposed to be touched up when wet and did not style it after wetting it, also sent me home with wet hair when it is supposed to be diffused until dry). The hair cut was between $80-$100 (can't remember exactly because I tipped) and it was not worth the price considering it was not a DevaCut. My hair has been splitting all the way up the shaft since this haircut, splitting so bad in ways my hair has never split before. There were also a couple strands that were randomly two inches longer than the rest of my hair in the back?? Again because she wasn't really looking, taking the time to section or check if she was cutting evenly. I do not recommend this place.

After, I looked in the mirror it was nothing like the pictures. I explained it to her that it was not what I had asked for and she said to give it time and if I was not happy then to call in 2 weeks. I followed up on text and received no help whatsoever instead a really unprofessional response and no solution. I provided the screenshots. She basically made it seem like it was my fault and that I was being difficult when I was not. The bare minimum should be taking accountability for the actions done and trying to help an 18 year old.
