GaGa

Ann does really great cuts/​wash for $ 55 but service is horrible. She doesn’t respond to texts or calls so that’s why I will no longer be going to GaGa.

Ann is awesome! She did such a great ombré on me and I was so scared to do it, because it was my first time putting any type of bleach or dye in my hair. Overall everything came out soooo great! I knoww it took lots of hours but it didn’t even feel like it, because it just felt like I was at home everything felt so comfy and enjoyable. And the most surprising thing was that my hair is really dark and Ann thought it would take like 3 sessions, but it only took one! My hair did such a miracle and saved lots of time, once again thank you so much Ann!

Anne took very good care of my wife. The location is kinda stowed away. Attached to a surf shop as well, this is a very eclectic looking place but definitely worth the look. Anne was very friendly and detailed with my wife’s hair. Only down side to the location is that it doesn’t take card.. Cash or check only. If we were going to stay in Monterey we would definitely return

Friendly, warm place with a great personality. Ann did an excellent job on my hair, and put a lot of thought into what I like as well as what my hair was going to do on it’s own. A second lady, Liz, came out to chat from the back of the shop, where she does skin care. I’ll be going back to try that out soon. :)
Ann and Liz made me feel like an old friend, and my haircut is fantastic. My only warning is that this is not a place to go if you’re in a hurry– this is a casual place where Ann really takes her time to make sure you get what you want– which can mean the person with the appointment takes longer than anticipated. My appointment got bumped by 2 hours, and then when I got there, she was running 30 min late. Still, excellent haircut

I had the loveliest Pumpkin Spice Facial from Liz yesterday and had to write something up! Not only is she so warm and welcoming but she’s a seriously knowledgeable esthetician. Even though I walked in with some rough, irritated patches on my face (advice: don’t sleep in a wool shirt), I walked out with perfectly smooth and radiant skin. My pores look more refined and I think the manual microdermabrasion she did even lightened some of the old acne scars on my jaw line! She obviously uses high quality product lines because my skin’s a little sensitive and nothing remotely irritated it. The sensory experience of the pumpkin spice combined with her nurturing touch and understanding of esthetics also makes for an insane value. An hour long Pumpkin Spice Facial with her is $ 60! Seriously. :)

Ann is without a doubt THE sweetest most talented person ever. Pretty sure she infused some magic hair power into her sheers. I always leave with my hair like that of a goddess and a big smile on my face. And I always look forward to snuggles from her darling little dachshunds. Seriously, bring your sad and tired locks to her, she will do wonders!

Gaga hair lounge is fabulous! Ann is fun and talented! She makes you feel right at home! It is decorated adorably with a vintage vibe! I will continue getting my hair done at gaga and would recommend this joint to everyone that I know! :)

Ann does a great job! Very personable! Shop is adorable — lots of fun things to look at! Highly recommend!

Ann took the time to help me figure out exactly what I wanted to do with my hair. She made sure it came out just right and wasn’t happy until I was. The shop is cute and funky and has a great atmosphere!

This place is fantastic. I’m new to the area and had gone through a couple hair stylists who just weren’t that great. Then I found this place. The owner is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. Give this place a chance you won’t be disappointed.

Ann is amazing and my experience at GaGa is always fantastic. Ann has an amazing ability to cut your hair in such a way that it looks great even as it grows out. She has a heart of gold and a natural talent for her work.
I also take my teen sons to Ann. She speaks to them with humor, authenticity, and respect. She is able to envision creative styles for their hair types and personalities.
Her shop is an eclectic and comfortable atmosphere, and we all love her dachshunds, Ike and Russel!

I’m not really a «salon» kind of woman. Feeling good about the space and the people is more important to me than any name or «who’s who» in «where people go».
GaGa was recommended to me by a friend who was seen by Sehra and loved her entire experience, so I went for it. Happy, happy, happy… she delivered up exactly what I asked for.
Great scene, great vibe, even great clients in the chair next to me. It was just an all around good experience. Highly recommended.

Ann is a great stylist. She sat down and actually looked at my hair and told me what would work. I have natural curl and it is very hard to find someone who can actually cut it. She knows what she doing. My hair feels lighter and healthier. I will be going back for sure.
Thank you, Anne.
She also makes you feel right at home.

Ann did a great job fixing another stylist’s mess. She did an excellent job on both cut and color and actually blended my gray hairs away. She is professional, without being stuffy. As soon as you walk in, you are treated like a long term client (almost family) by every person in the shop. Her prices are appropriate for the area, and she never pushes product sales or extra services. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. Her shop is a little hidden gem. I would recommend her to anyone who appreciates a down to earth, not stuffy experience. And check out the nice spa and esthetician services in the back. Oh, try to go when she brings her sweet, little dogs.

So I just moved to the Monterey area a couple of months ago and was looking for a stylist. Of course… I Unilocaled it! Gaga was one of the few salons where the reviews were consistent so I decided to make an appt. I am super happy I did.
Ann is one of the nicest, most genuine people you could meet and really listens when you tell her what you want. Even though I was not sure on how to tell her how I wanted my hair cut, I came out with the exact look I wanted. Her prices are very reasonable. I have paid much more for a lot less. She makes appointments at actual times that work for me!!!
Love, love, love GAGA!!! You should really make an appointment and check her out!

Needed someone new to tackle the mop. I was tired of the cheapo all-​sheared haircuts, and didn’t feel like the one cutting my hair before really enjoyed the job, or really much at all.
Ann is quite the opposite — zest for life, much to talk about, and managed to add a little spunk to my otherwise conservative haircut. Unfortunately the price tag is also quite opposite. But her personality and style manage to offset the price. Call ahead so there are no surprises. She doesn’t take credit, and it took a bit of phone tag to manage an appointment.
The trinkets in her little shop, and two pups, would manage to help you initiate any small-​talk… but I doubt anyone would experience awkward silence here. Thanks for the great cut Ann; I’ll be back!

Ann is fantastic! I’ve had her cut my hair once (so far). The cut was great. Then she styled it before I left, and I felt like a total hottie. I got so many compliments on my hairstyle. So I went back to her to do my hair for a black-​tie event I attended last weekend, and again she gave me a fantastic look that last through the night. She’s a ton of fun, and her shop is super cute. It had been a long time since I found a good hairstylist in Monterey, and now my search is over. Thanks Ann!

Ann is great at what she does, and also has flexible hours. I’ll drive to Sand City any day to see Ann.
Excellent colorist and really understands the dynamics of each individual’s hair.

So here’s the latest…
Well, I drive down from the San Jose area to see Ann. We have a ton of salons that claim to be the best of the South Bay, but I’ll jump in the car and drive a little over an hour as I trust her with my head. After being a long time client, I am confident in her ability to understand my needs.
Her shop is super cute. She has a lot of handmade artsy items made by local people as well as herself.
Easy parking. It’s free! No time limit! And, the shopping center also houses a surf shop and nail place. You’ll have a good time while you are at Ann’s, not to mention leave loving your new hair.
I have left stylists after several years if they screw up. Your hair is the first thing people see… and hello… growing out a bad cut is something we wish upon a foe. So visit Ann, and you’ll want to tell your friends.
