Shameka did a great job on my short cut. My hair is shiny bouncy and still full despite being damaged when I came in she was informative and patient and very fun to talk to. My only complaint was that I wasn’t told of the new location and couldn’t get anyon in the phone when I arrived to the location I thought correct which set us back about 13 mins(she squeezed me in so I didn’t want to waste any time). And they are definitely on the pricey side given the service I was asking for but nonetheless the work is beautiful and I love my hair so I will come back ❤️Services: Haircut

I had a 2pm appointment, my GPS took me to the wrong location. I called ahead letting them know the earliest I could arrive would be 2:45pm due to the issue with my GPS. They said that would be too late, I was still charged the complete amount for my appointment. I understand having a late cancellation/ rescheduling fee, but that should only be a percentage of the total appointment not the total charge. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THIS SALON YOUR BUSINESS. THEY HAVE VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BAD POLICIES. PLEASE BOOK WITH OTHER SALONS.

Shellee is a gem. Everyone knows Newbury is not parking friendly so you get what you get to get there. *LOL*Enjoy a welcoming, friendly environment with light beverage service during your appointment. Afterwards, you can get cupcakes at Georgetown, Boba tea at Coco Leaf or just about anything else on your leisurely stoll through the historic street with your fresh do... or fabulously fashioned head of "oooh-ahhh" hair.Just make sure you find another spot or take public transit before your stroll. ;)

Not great with Natural Hair (4a-4c hair textures this salon may not be for you!) Shelly the owner is very nice, however I drove over an hour and want to share my experience so that no one else experiences the same hair trauma If they have a similar hair texture to mine. I have long, thick 4a/4b hair that is tightly coiled when wet. I asked for a steam treatment, she shared that she has a great treatment under a hooded dryer, no steam treatment offered. So we proceeded with the treatment she recommended. She kept recommending a Keratin which my hair does not need, which was the first flag that she would not be able to properly do my hair. I have never needed a Keratin, black hair can look perfectly great without one if properly done. I am visiting Boston from DC and most stylist there are amazing with natural hair. This was by far the worst natural salon visit I have ever experienced. Here are my woes: Heavy handed- too rough with course hair. Ripped through the hair, I was extremely worried and traumatized the entire time. I shared that I was tender headed, hair that is wet should not be handled like this. Deep Conditioning- did not penetrate the hair well enough, my hair felt like a Brillo pad as she blow dried my hair ( this was the worst part of the entire experience) she was raking through my hair and it was breaking off, my hair does not usually shed as much, I also had a clump of hair at the bottom when I ran my hands through my hair at the end of the service. My ends also look very split. Styling- My hair was not well styled or smoothed out, my hair did not look at all finished at the end. I gave her a photo and my hair looks nothing like the image I showed her. My hair usually looks like the photo, My hair is usually fabulous, not today! I am almost in tears, my ends are split, I will now make another appointment with my DC stylist this week and Im sure she will have to take off a few inches. Course hair has to be very carefully handled. I truly regret coming. If it was just a styling issue, I would not have written this review, but since the integrity of my hair has suffered, I must share my experience. Although Shellie and her team is sweet, in my opinion she is not a good natural hair stylist for course hair, you might leave with your hair damaged. I do not recommend this salon at all for course hair!

Ladies, I never write reviews but I feel this could save another woman from having her crowned ruined. Yesterday evening I walked into into Shelle's salon excited and came out crying. Please save yourself the heartache and do not get serviced at this salon. I am a platinum blonde 4C natural of 5+ years and have been coloring my hair with a trusted stylist since. I consulted and explained to Shellee that my stylist was unavailable and I was in need of a re-color for a photoshoot this weekend. (I never go outside of my trusted stylist -- ever). Sent her pics of my regular look and asked if it was something she could make happen. She told me she could make it happened and I confirmed my appointment with Salon Monet the same day. After the first process, I was ready to run for my life. I should've but I sat there and listened to her bribe me into another process which led to a complete over processing of my hair. My hair went from a circus orange to yellow, even after the double processing. I told her I wanted to pay for the service and just leave , but she insisted I stay and "let her do her job" .. just so she could leave me with sores in my head and an over processed, dried out brittle look that was far from my desired look. She blamed me for everything. Telling me that I wanted a refund from the jump and called my stylist "ghetto" -- to then accusing me of "bad mouthing" my own stylist (something I would never and have never done). She went on to telling me that she would issue me my $175 refund -- to then threatening me and saying that "we will take this to court". Let me repeat this again: I have painful sores in my head. Fast forward to this morning: I sent her a text this morning explaining the pain in my head, showed her these pics and this was her message reply (pics attached): 12 June 2021 1:01 PM Shellee: "Great then stop texting me go back to your ghetto unprofessional stylist that you bad mouth about in my chair!!!" Doesn't sound like a profesional stylist on Newbury street now does it? Very unclassy and unprofessional. This was the absolute experience from hell. Ladies, do your research. Not everyone is who they say they are. I have learned yet another lesson.

We’ve been coming to Salon Monet for over 2 years now. My daughter is biracial and has curly/kinky hair. She mostly sees Jamika, sometimes Josette and they always do a great job! Before we found Salon Monet we struggled to keep up with her hair because she absolutely won’t let me touch her hair. After some getting used to it she now lets the ladies wash/blow dry/braid without much fuss. Usually takes 2-2.5hours and we pay 60-80 depending if she gets a deep conditioner and trim etc. That includes tip for corn rows or box braids. I think it’s very reasonable pricing. The ladies are always very friendly and welcoming. The only downside is parking because ... well, Newbury street. But we go early in the morning on Sundays when parking is free.
