I absolutely love my new do! Risa worked with me on getting a much needed change. She's great with curly hair and gave me the long pixie I was looking for. I will definitely be back!!!!!

Cute local hair salon near Ninth St. I go to Risa for my hair color and haircuts, and have always been very happy with her professional results. They also have a parking lot right next to the building, near the car wash lot. Make a reservation through their website or call; sometimes the site shows limited booking options depending on the service selected.

If you're looking for a talented stylist with NYC cred, I highly recommend Sandi. She's particularly good with curly hair but does it all. Very experienced and passionate about making you look beautiful.

Highly recommend this spot and specifically Sandi! She’s the best! I have been going to Sandi for haircuts for ten years now and she is phenomenal. She works between NY and NC, and I always saw her in NY, but now that she is mostly in NC I had to road trip to see her at the Funky Monkey. She has been telling me about this spot for years and it’s so adorable with its own unique style. Sandi sat me down and every time I see her she really gets to know my hair personally, literally on a molecular level of what direction to cut which hairs. She is a master razor artist, always getting the back of my head just right. The cuts always last a while too, because Sandi knows how to cut so that when it grows out it continues to look good through various phases. She is worth every penny for long lasting style and for her personal attentiveness to crafting a look that really suits me.

Risa is the nicest and really takes her time to give you a great outcome. I value this so much and have only been to her once, at the recommendation of a friend, but I'm so happy I did. I hadn't had my hair colored at a salon in 2 years, so was a little nervous about how this would go. I came in primarily for hair coloring to an ashy blonde/brown on my straight black hair. Risa took her time and was able to tone down the redness that was already there. For my cut, she did a nice job with layering and blunt ends, but also took off some heaviness towards the end when we decided that might be better. The hair wash felt so good on my scalp. The other ladies in the shop were also quite kind and friendly, so my experience overall was welcoming and pleasant. A dog came in to visit halfway during my hair coloring processing!

I have had Risa do my hair multiple times now. I went from long to chin length. I have also had her do two tone blonde and brown. She has always done an amazing job. I am always happy with her cuts. Bonus she is great to chat with. Not to mention I love the vibe of the salon. I feel right at home.

Sandi J is the best. I have long, thick hair with waves. Sandi understands how to cut my hair so it is not weighed down. This time, we did more layers with curtain bangs. I love it! My hair looks amazing both straight and natural.Sandi is very professional. She also has worked in NYC and is up to date with the latest trends and techniques. She also likes to style with Hair Story products, which are more natural and good for people like me with sensitive skin.I looked a long time when I first moved to NC for a stylist. Sandi is the best in the area and the one I trust to keep my hair beautiful.Services: Haircut

I went to Funky Monkey and got a cut from Reisa. I brought a picture in of exactly what I wanted. I had long hair and wanted it to be cut very short with length left around the ears- quasi mullet like. Reisa asked to see the picture a few times during the cut yet still managed to take all the length off and leave me with a longish pixie which looks terrible - so terrible they offered a refund but it’s impossible to Miracle Gro your hair and time. Again, I brought pictures. She saw them multiple times. Going to Rock Paper Scissors for a rescue cut.Service: Haircut
