Ruby Peña Jesse is hands down the best! He does my extensions and color, and I couldn’t be happier with the results every time. He really takes his time to make sure everything looks perfect and always listens to what I want. I love that he checks in throughout the process to make sure I’m happy with how things are going. He’s not only super talented but also makes the whole experience enjoyable. I always leave feeling confident and loving my hair. Highly recommend him!

Heidi Lancaster Now that I found a new stylist, I see that not only was I being scammed, but I was also a guinea pig. I love the girls here, theyre all very nice, but I feel very betrayed by Anabel. I would not recommend for any fantasy colors done here. Way overpriced for the poor work. I do feel really dumb for going back as often as I did, but Im glad I was able to find someone else that didnt feel the need to take advantage of me or experiment on me. The pictures are the SAME job and the last job I ever got done there.

1. Got my whole head bleached in one go—was super happy. Not the exact color I wanted, but was nice!
2. I had used box dye before this appointment and made a mess of my hair. Was left with ugly Barney purple hair. Anabel says it’s my fault, so sure, I’ll take that.
3. 3rd time’s a charm, but not really. Was okay, still not what I wanted. There was an issue with getting a halo around my head. Can’t blame shampoo on that. But this was my fault somehow. Went for a re-do. Got a color I didn’t want.
4. Another try at the color I wanted. Didn’t get what I wanted. Almost completely white hair. Assistant even made a comment about this not being anything like what I had asked. Very white with a hint of blue? Next day, had a halo around my head and was blotchy. No box dye, no shampoo, no excuse to mess this up. Had to go back for a re-do.
5. Got a plum color, despite it not being what I wanted. Still ended up liking the color tho! Decided I’d stick with this color!
6. Went for a retouch. Wanted same color I had. Ended up with a Barney purple halo, dark purple in the front, and no color at all in the back. Plum color nowhere to be found. No box dye, no shampoo, no excuse to mess this up. Pictures attached.
This is the gist of it. Sure, I made a mistake the first time with the box dye, but there’s no excuse after that. I would have been able to move past all the previous stuff, if in the last appointment I had gotten what I wanted. We had found a color I was happy with; I was told she saved the formula. I didn’t do anything to my hair that could have compromised the recolor. And yet, I ended up with a mess again. Those pictures are from the last appointment. There is no reason to leave a salon with hair looking like that, especially after I paid so much. And that’s what was upsetting.

EDIT: Thank you for your side of it Anabel, but surely you know in your heart that your failures weren’t entirely my fault. Take a look at the pictures. Thats what you left me with, and theres no box dye, shampoo, or anything else to blame on this one.

Katie Maxwell Anabel has been doing my hair forever. She is so sweet and my experience at Montenegro Salon & Spa has always been wonderful. Everyone there has been very welcoming and overall nice. I have always left the salon LOVING my hair, especially when Anabel dyed my hair pink! It was so fun and the color came out perfect. We’ve done a few different things over the years, but I was blonde for the LONGEST time, and it was always perfect.
