Parise Salon

Marianne was friendly and professional. I am new to the area and felt completely comfortable and confident in her skills as she filled my eyelash extensions. The appointment only took an hour. The price was very reasonable. I will continue to come here for my eyelash fills! Bobby at the front desk was friendly and polite. He offered me tea or water upon arrival. From check-​in to check-​out my experience was good. Marianne said she also offers nail service and cuts, colors and styles hair. There are 3 others who work in this salon as well, although Marianne is the only one doing eyelash extensions. The cute salon is in a good location and there is ample parking.

The location is in a quaint neighborhood and the salon is a converted private residence. I was recommended to this place by my wife who went here before a formal event and she said the barbers looked legit for male style haircuts. I caught a groupon that made a $ 40 service a $ 20 haircut. $ 20 might seem steep for the common man, but I was served by the manager who got his licks trimming jar heads down in Oceanside. The haircut was the best I’ve had — ever. So, while I may not be able to afford this service every month I will definitely make an appointment before events where my appearance is important to me. The experience was great, I showed up 15 minutes early and was seated in 5. The barbers was personable and made a professional gesture of inviting me back for return business by presenting a business card. The reservation process via online was effective even when I had to move my appointment back a day. Will definitely return.

I have found a warm and welcoming atmosphere at Parise salon, great conversation and great customer service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Indeed, there is no business in the Monterey Bay that I would recommend more than Parise Salon. I found them on Groupon in the Spring and I am still going there.
I have been enjoying seeing Marianne for eyelash extensions and Angie for nails. Marianne is very thorough in her work, a great listener, and Angie is very fast– she sometimes does a Mani-​Pedi in 40 minutes! (But you are alotted one hour for each, so don’t worry– you will not be rushed out!).
Definitely worth 5 stars.

Bobby gave me a great haircut. He is thorough, skillful, and has a strong attention to detail. He is dedicated to his craft and reasonably priced. I highly recommend.

Glad I bought a groupon. «Gel Manicure» is really just a gel polish you could purchase at CVS. I got my nails done Sunday, they chipped off by Wednesday. Generally I am all for small businesses but I definitely feel that i over paid and thats at a discounted rate!

I was so nervous I was not going to find a new (and reasonably priced) lash person in Monterey after the girl I had been going to for over a year quit doing lashes. THANKFULLY I found Parise on Unilocal.Marianne, did an excellent job on my lashes and brows. Thrilled with my new lashes!

Wow! Love bri. Great job, very accommodating, great to chat with, great to stfu with, knows what’s up…

I’ve been going to Marianne for over a year now! She has done my eyelashes in the past and now I go to her for color and cut. Not only is she very sweet and makes you feel totally at ease, but she has consistently accommodated me for last minute appointments at hours that work for my crazy work schedule. She spends quality time ensuring you come out looking amazing. Highly recommend this salon!

Luckily I bought this mani pedi on groupon and didn’t pay full price. The pedicure was good, but the lady that did my nails (that were supposedly gel) did not do a thorough job. Not only can I still see my nail underneath the polish, but it looks like my manicure that I got less than 24 hours ago is already a week old because she didn’t paint anywhere close to the cuticle. Even on the sides of each nail dont even have polish. Next time I will paint my own nails since I can do a better job.

I found this salon via Groupon, it was a great way to get me to finally (after putting off for a stupidly long time) get a good haircut. I have been in this area for 7+ years and for the first chunk of those years went to someone I had been going to for a while whom I loved her work and trusted her totally to always get a good haircut. When I finally did go to someone local here it was not a great experience so thus the reason I was about 2 years over do for a haircut! I finally got over myself and made the appointment at Parise Salon with Bri. She did a REALLY great job. I am incredibly happy with how it came out and how it’s been in the days since the haircut. While the haircuts are pricier than I am used to her work is well worth it. I would recommend her and was really happy with my experience there. I would and will go back for my next haircut and likely for some highlights too!

I have been going to Marianne since 2012 and love her color and cut for me. Try Parise Salon for other services, too.

I’m definitely having a good ‘nail’ day! Came to Parise for the first time today, and Angie gave me a great pedicure followed by a gel manicure. Love it!

I really really want to like this place. Marianne (owner) is a total doll and the rest of her staff is pretty friendly too! Cute quaint little salon and I love supporting local businesses (especially the little guys!). However, as someone who has got eyelash extensions before I’m just not happy with the quality and has many others have mentioned the mani/​pedi is just not up to par.
Mani/​Pedi: Groupon yay! Being in pain because Angie cut my nails way too short booo! Seriously my fingers were throbbing all day after I left and night. I had decent length nails too so I don’t know why she cut them down so low. The polish is not filling my nails and you can see white/​natural nail at the tip of my nails because she didn’t go all the way to the front. Looking closely at my nails the lines are kind of wavy and I’m surprised that a professional did my nails. My toes look absolutely great though and no pain there!
Eyelash extensions: Also a groupon. As I have said before I have had them done by now three different people at this point The first set weren’t even — one eye was the cat-​eye look I wanted and the other eye was heavily filled in the middle and the thickness/​length she chose was too heavy for my natural eyelashes to hold so a ton fell out the first day and were hooking my bottom lashes making it so my eyes would get stuck closed. I emailed her and she got me in 1.5 weeks later to redo them. Second set I had the same issue of one being the right shape that I wanted and the other being sort of there. I’ve had the new set a few days and a big chunk of lashes on my left eye is just missing and looks pretty noticeable. I know how to care for lashes and I try to be extremely gentle with them so I’m not sure what the issue is unfortunately.
I mean this as constructive criticism only and otherwise I really like what you guys have going on!

I came in for a semi permanent eyelash fill, they got me in short notice and eve n had brown and did feathering, over a week later they are holding up better that the lashes from cerro las lounge in las vegas

What a great place to go if you want an eyelash fill! I wanted to wait almost the two weeks I had the fill before I provided a review. I was looking for a place since I travel to Monterey 1 – 2 times a month. First the salon is very nice, secondly Marianne asked me questions about my lashes before she even started. I told her what I liked and she did it. What a great job and my lashes still look good! I now have a great place that I can go to. Thanks Marianne.

I bought a gel manicure and pedicure deal on Groupon. The place is a little different from your typical nail salon, but it has its charms. The girl was really nice and at the time I really liked the outcomes of my nails. In six days the gel was chipping off. For the price of a Groupon I would say it’s okay, but I would never pay regular price for it. Plus, I really enjoy the massage chairs at its competitors.

I got a gel mani and pedi from Angie, she was amazing! So sweet and really took her time to make sure the mani and pedi were perfect. I would highly recommend coming here. Prices are completely reasonable and a great atmosphere. Angie was beyond clean and made my hands and feet feel and look beautiful. All the ladies were so nice and chatty,
I felt very comfortable there! Not much more you can ask for. Thanks ladies!

I bought the gel manicure & regular pedicure deal on Groupon to try out this place and was thoroughly happy with the experience. I was about 10 minutes late for my appointment, but they didn’t make a fuss like most places would. The girl helped me figure out which colors I wanted, offered me tea when I sat down to do the pedicure, and was just generally sweet. She wasn’t overly talkative, but that’s okay because I didn’t feel like I needed to force awkward conversation and it allowed her to focus on my mani/​pedi. I also love that the salon is in what used to be a house instead of a business type building, giving it a more comfortable feel. I would definitely go back again!

I’ve been getting gel manicures for about 5 years and this is hands-​down (pun intended) my longest lasting mani yet. I normally have issues with thickness, peeling or coverage but after a week they still look fresh. I went in with a Groupon which wasn’t a problem but would definitely pay full price in the future. The mani/​pedi took a combined hour and a half and the young lady was sweet. I really enjoyed the unconventionalness of it all… the salon is an old house, there aren’t any pedi pedestals or strong smells and you can make and confirm your appt online. So glad I found this salon!

5 stars because the quality was great and I would go back. I was pleased with the results, however my appt was at 3:30 and they took me in right away and I was out the door by 6pm. 2:30 hours for a manicure and a pedicure, just keep that in mind when you walk in.
Also keep in mind that this is one of the few places who do a great job. It’s not as cheap as other competitors but when it comes to quality, Parise Nails it. Too bad the photos on Unilocal don’t do the justice this place deserves.
I am planning a return to Parise because the staff was great, they have a nice selection of colors, they do a great and detailed job (that’s prob why it took 2 hours) and the place is great.
I have to say, it’s true that they do not cut your cuticles, at all. If this is a big deal to you, def do not go, if it’s not a big deal then you’re in for a nice mani.
The pedi was nothing impressive I might be getting those done elsewhere just because I like to have my cuticles clean.
