The most comfortable salon chair I have ever sat in!More importantly she knows what she is doing which is a relief to say the least! I have waist length fragile hair and the integrity of keeping my hair healthy is a priority for me. Not only did she correct the mess up from the last salon, but my hair looks the best it ever has! She also uses Davines products and educated me on this line. She is a nice person and works hard, takes pride in her work and it shows.Very relaxing and just a pleasure period! Thank you & here are the pics!

This review is long overdue - but I need to tell everyone out there how great Kellye is!…read more I been going with Kellye for about 2 years now. Not only is she professional, great colorist, always on time, leaves my hair so healthy after each visit; she is a great person, great listener and compassionate. I enjoyed our talks each time and the great music that she puts on. Kellye turned me from a brunette to a redhead to brunette again seamlessly. I definitely recommend Kellye to anyone looking for a hair specialist. She really understand clients needs. I'm so happy I found her, you will too.

I can't recommend Salon Montana enough as Stephanie is the best at what she does and I wouldn't let…read moreanyone else touch my hair. I've lost count of how long I've been coming to her to color & cut my hair but it's been at least 6+ years. I also happily drive three hours to see her, that should say all it needs to say right there. Stephanie is the owner of the salon and she works magic on my hair. I've always been known to be very picky with my hair which is why I struggled to find the right artist for some time. Once I found Stephanie through my mom it's been smooth sailing since. She listens to your needs and respects the way you want your hair done. I'm grateful to her because my hair is so healthy after coming to see her all these years. I continue to get so many compliments on the color she helped pick for me and she only cuts the dead ends that need sprucing, so my hair has maintained it's length. The prices at Salon Montana are extremely reasonable for the quality of service you get. Also I don't know how she does it but my color actually stays! I'll come back 90 days after and we notice how good the majority of my color has lasted. At other salons I felt like the colors quickly faded but not here. The shop itself is very welcoming and cozy. Always clean and the location in downtown La Quinta is perfect as you can run next door to grab a quick coffee or snack before/after your service. Stephanie really tailors her services to everyone. Men and women's hair. I'm in my 30's and she's my stylist for life (or for however long she will put up with me lol). Also to note my moms in her 60's and also comes to her regularly. Her hair has never looked better and is so healthy now. It just shows if your reading this, whoever you are, it's likely that Stephanie will get it just right for you and she definitely deserves your business. This salon is a 10/10, the best "not so secret" salon in the desert.

Stylist did not listen as I explained how I wanted my hair cut. I have learned through the years…read morethat people who cut your hair generally don't listen, and cut hair according to their experience and comfort level, as opposed to actually listening to what you personally want- I do not recommend this salon. It's hard to find someone talented to cut your hair. Won't return- Still looking for that kind, patient stylist who listens, and has skills. The good news...my hair will eventually grow back. That being said, because the stylist didn't listen, it will certainly take a while for that to happen.

The color style I want isn't the easiest to achieve, but she made my vision a reality -- perfectly. I absolutely love the result. I've already gotten so many compliments, but what means the most is how spot-on she was in bringing my idea to life. She's highly skilled at cuts and color, detail-oriented, and genuinely listens, which makes the whole experience feel exceptionally personalized and special. And I have to mention the shampoo... the head massage will take you to heaven and back. I get so disappointed when stylists blow mindlessly through this part with the same massage they do on everyone. It's like she knows where my worries and headches live and she eases them away with hands-on intuition. Truly the best. The Salon is stylish and holds a record shop within with an enviable collection of albums to peruse while your hair is processing. If you're looking for someone who can take your inspiration and execute it flawlessly, Christina is the one. I'm so grateful I found her -- and I'm excited for my next visit!

I recently relocated to the area and did a quick google search to find someone to do my hair and after reading some reviews, I saw Emilia initially for a color service. She texted me prior to my appointment to get a hair history - I've never in my life had a stylist do this and it made me feel like she really cared right off the bat. The day of my appointment, she really took her time giving me exactly the color and tone that I wanted. I visited her again for extensions- I'm absolutely blown away by her talent, professionalism, and passion for what she does!

Visited for the first time yesterday for a blow dry appointment with Patty. Nobody was at the…read morereception desk and a woman who was blow drying a client nearby pretended not to see me. After I stood there awkwardly waiting to be greeted she finally asked me if I had an appointment. When I said yes she asked my name and said dismissively "Oh we'll be right with you." No idea if she was in fact Patty or someone else. I went to sit down but the chairs were visibly stained and dirty, the whole salon was hot (no air conditioning and 110 outside!) and appeared very unclean. I excused myself and left. Not a positive first impression - won't be back.

Sally did a couple of my bridesmaids' and my makeup, and she totally nailed it. The makeup looked natural and enhanced our features without making us look overly made-up. I also totally changed up my inspo day-of vs. what we did with the trial and she rolled with it and it turned out amazing! Ashley did my hair and some of my bridesmaids hair and she did an incredible job! My updo was perfect and I got tons of compliments on it throughout the night. Both my hair and makeup lasted through the whole wedding and after party, too! Bailey did hair and makeup for others and those also turned out great. Not to mention all three ladies were super fun, kind and supportive throughout the whole morning which made it so fun. Taylor who runs their scheduling was one of the easiest vendor contacts to work with for my wedding -- super responsive, clear and kind. I highly recommend Chelsea Nicole for your wedding or any special event you may be planning (or, if you're local, as your go-to salon!).

I found Trisha on Yelp, noted the positive reviews & decided to give her a try. Trisha made me feel comfortable right away.

After many years of wearing my hair the same way, my husband loves my new look. Thank you Trisha!
