15 years later and through a few name changes, several things remain the same - skilled stylists who listen to your hair goals, a welcoming and relaxed environment, amazing hair products, apparel and accessories available for purchase and always a positive and enjoyable experience.

I had such a fantastic experience at The Collective! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. The service was truly exceptional—professional, attentive, and so friendly. They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, and the end result exceeded my expectations. I absolutely love how my hair turned out!
If you're looking for a salon that delivers both incredible service and beautiful results, I can’t recommend them enough. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I've finally found the best salon in town, where true professionals excel. Cecilia came through for me at the last moment, and I couldn't be happier with her exceptional skill and expertise. With my wavy, thick hair, finding a hairdresser who can cut it well has been a challenge. I've tried numerous specialists and always left disappointed. However, Cecilia not only gave me the perfect haircut but also did stunning highlights. I highly recommend this place, especially Cecilia—she's undoubtedly one of the best artists on the Peninsula. And believe me, I've visited countless hairdressers in Monterey, PG, and Carmel!

I did not get my hair done here but I just wanted to comment on how amazing the owner is Nicole. My car stopped working right in the middle of her driveway to her salon parking lot and instead of getting mad, she was the most kindest and sweetest person. She helped me push my car into a parking spot and than made sure I was ok and made sure I didn't need anything before she left! If someone is that kind to a perfect stranger on the street, I bet her salon would take amazing care of you!!

My friend recommended Andrea for haircut and highlights and I am so glad I went! Andrea did an amazing job. My highlights look natural and amazing and my hair cut turned out exactly how I wanted it. I am so happy with the result. I have been to a few different salons in the Monterey area and none have turned out as good. I will definitely be going back. Thanks so much Andrea!

Terrible experience - after 5 hours and $600+ gone at this salon, my hair is ruined! I left this salon in tears after 5 hours of pure hell and spending $600+ with Johnny. Please do not go to this salon - Johnny ruined my hair. I've never had to write a bad review, ever, but my experience here was so bad that I would hate for it to happen to anyone else. I had an appointment for balayage. I brought in multiple pictures of balayage and even pictures of myself to specify exactly what I wanted. Johnny commented on how healthy and strong my hair was. I get highlights all the time at my salon back home with no issues and I didn't expect any issues here since Johnny claims to be a "balayage specialist." Johnny overly bleached my hair and left my hair stretchy (like gum) it has been a little over 1 month now and my hair has not improved one bit. I am afraid to even com my hair because it just keeps falling and breaking off. I wish I could go back and refrain myself from going to this place. It is expensive and they do not care if your hair cannot take any more bleach. Johnny should have been honest with me since the beginning instead of ruining my hair and taking my money. Please save yourself the trouble, heartache and $600+ and go somewhere else - it's not worth it, trust me.

Vanity Salon is now known as The Collective. Same business. New name. For some reason if using Google maps, it takes you onto Alvarado St. The 481Tyler St location is correct.
