Monica at Guest House has been cutting my hair perfectly for a couple years now. She cuts my wife's hair too. We'll never leave her. If you're looking for a fantastic cut at a reasonable price from a nice person at a great place, it's Monica at Guest House!! read more

Amber is your girl if you want to maintain your length without sacrificing style. Her cuts always grow out beautifully so I can go months in between cuts. So glad I've found her! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! The only person I trust to cut my hair is Amber. She had been cutting my hair for years now -- bobs, mermaid, butterfly-- you name it, and she's done it for me! She knows how to adapt her cut to fit your features best. I just walked out with the most fabulous French bang/haircut and I feel and look amazing. read more

My friends and I have been going to the Guest House for a few years now and Monica is our girl! She's excellent at what she does and knows her stuff! She takes her time and listens to what you want and gives advice when needed... and I've needed a lot of advice lol read more

I've seen Amber twice now for hair and color and she is the best! The salon is bright and clean and has a very friendly welcoming vibe. Amber is an expert and gives me the best layers and natural color. I've already pre booked my appointments through the end of the year - that's how good she is! read more

I should have written this review a long time ago for Monica Paul, but better late than ever! Monica is by far one of the best hair stylists I have ever had to take care of my hair. The first time I had her, she did a simple style for my hair, and it came out with a really good tame look. The one that she did just now is also really good! She cut my long thick curly hair down to a bob, and even better, colored it. When I felt like the earlier red color was too bright, she was willing to be patient with me, and darken it up a bit. And now, my hair looks phenomenal! Maybe I'm going through a midlife crisis, I don't know, but I sure love my hair at this moment! Thank you so much, Monica Paul! I love you so much!!!! *pictures coming soon* read more

Hello All! I just wanted to let everyone know Amber is absolutely amazing. I could not ask for a better stylist. I tell her my dream for my hair and she makes it come true every time. My entire family now sees her for their cuts and color. They all leave absolutely enthralled with the results. She is such a sweet and bubby person who is great to talk to and even lend advice if you're having a bad day. I truly cannot see myself going to anyone else ever again. If you have the time, give her the opportunity to do the same for you. You will not regret it. The salon itself is so clean and nice. The environment is very tranquil to be in. Have a good day, hope this helps! read more

Another raving review for Amber! She is a master stylist and her work shows. She is very down to earth and so easy to chat with during the entire appointment. I've had 2 years of bad haircuts and Amber fixed and transformed the health of my hair. Her practical take home tips and tricks are worth every penny. The salon is gorgeous and clean. Looking forward to coming back. read more

I found The Guest House through Yelp, and was not steered wrong by the strong recommendations! After reaching out for an appointment, Amber quickly followed up with me to dig into what I was looking for. I appreciated her attention to detail and for really taking the time to understand my goals for my hair and to talk through what she would advise. From that first phone call, I knew that Amber would provide the right care and consultative approach to help me look and feel my best. I've now seen Amber a few times, and have been very pleased with my cut and the care and attention she put into my highlights. I also appreciate she goes right to the root and doesn't over-highlight. Her goal is not to have me coming in constantly to pad her pockets. Her goal is to do a great job, which I appreciate! The salon is very nice and has a cozy yet professional feel. 2hr free street parking is located near by, making this an easy place to roll up and walk in to. read more

Adorable salon. Very relaxing experience. Amber Gordon gives the best cuts. I get compliments all the time -- and I mean that! Highly recommend. read more

I took a huge gamble by finding someone I've never been to before on yelp and that person was Amber at the guest house. I have thick, dark, curly, Middle Eastern hair. My hair is one of my best features so I was definitely a little bit nervous going to someone new however I couldn't have made a better choice. Amber took my really dark almost black hair to the most beautiful chocolate brown with gorgeous highlights. I've never seen a hairstylist work faster and create such amazing results. No more spending insane amounts of money and spending hours on hours in the chair. She's a true professional, who knows her stuff. I'm so happy I found Amber and I will recommend her to all of my friends and family! I will be back for sure! Thank you, Amber ! read more

Love the cut Amber Jean gave my hair! She provided a thorough consultation and was very detailed oriented in the cut. Also just a great person to chat with read more

Seriously, one of the best haircuts I've ever received. Monica is a fantastic person through and through and deserves all of the green lights ahead of her in life. I hope her coffee is never cold unless it's iced, and every part of her pillow she uses at night is always the cold side. read more

If you're scrolling through Yelp trying to find the one--this is your sign (It's Amber). As someone who's had their fair share of hair disasters, I usually have major anxiety about seeing someone new. But with Amber, that completely disappeared. From my very first appointment, I felt totally at ease. She's warm, confident, down-to-earth, and just genuinely lovely to spend time with. But most importantly: Amber is massively talented. She listens, makes thoughtful suggestions, and then absolutely nails the cut and color. Every time. She even took time to teach me better ways to care for my hair at home. I've been back several times now and every visit has been consistently amazing. Amber is now the only person I trust with my hair. Now go trust her with yours!! read more

As someone with a lot of grey hair, I have to dye my roots a lot. Ever since my hairdresser retired and moved out of the country last year, I've been on a quest to find someone who understands my hair. I finally found my person. Amber. Her work is above and beyond anything I've experienced. As someone with very absorbent hair, most of my color applications require a second batch. Her formulation went on luxuriously, and the pigment saturated perfectly. Also, the color is perfect!. I'm grateful for her expertise and advise. I'm so happy that I found Amber and having my hair done is now something to look forward to! read more

While their lack of a reception person made entrance a little awkward, my haircut by Monica was excellent. I like a fairly standard style on my very straight short hair, but with my cowlicks and the coarseness of my hair I find I am often unhappy with the bowl shape, or the alfalfa effect, after a cut. Monica did a great job texturing my hair and balancing the sides to the top. I'll be back for my next cut. read more

WOW! The reviews everyone gave Amber is spot on. I just came back from having my hair done by her and I have to say she is AMAZING. We had a phone consultation and the detail she went into during the consultation and at the salon is awesome. It's a beautiful salon. It's nice and bright. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a new hairstylist. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Amber today for a haircut and I wanted to get some wispy bangs done. We had a phone consultation first which I really liked and appreciated that she took the time to speak with me to get to know exactly what I wanted. Now for the haircut itself I am absolutely in love. She gave me exactly what I wanted. Asked me throughout the haircut and appointment to make sure that everything was just the way I like she was also very friendly and kind. I highly recommend her and will definitely be returning. Thank you amber!! read more

Make sure to book AMBER for your next appointment! She has taken care of my hair for over a year. When I came to her it was "stressed out." She promised to get my locks back to a healthy state, and that is exactly what she did. I am always getting compliments on my hair. She is very good at hair color! A definite master at it! I also love how she can cut my hair and keep the length. She truly cares about her clients and has a very warm personality as well. I love our talks and her ability to make me feel good about myself. Also, listen to her advice about how to take care of your hair in-between appointments. The products she recommends are 10/10. So yes, make your appointment with her!! read more
