You need to go to Moni here. She's the best. Look no further. I posted a full review on her Yelp (search Moni Sebestyen), and will paste here too:
MONI! OMG just stop your hair search and come to her! Although, she's kind of a big deal, so make sure you book in advance. She's located at Parlor 308 in Los Gatos.
After another stylist got "too big for her britches" and let her assistant totally fry my hair, I came to Moni to repair. I gave her full reign to chop almost 8 inches off my hair. Well folks, she crushed it. My main pic on Yelp is my hair right after Moni cut it. It's my most liked IG picture. It. Was. FABULOUS. Not only did she listen to me, she asked questions, and checked in with me during the process to make sure we were on the same page. Moni is not the type of stylist who just goes off and does her own thing after you tell her what you want. She will actually do what you ask for (unlike my previous stylist). And if she can't she'll be honest. She always makes sure you leave happy with your hair. When I asked to go straight back to blonde at first, she said it would damage my hair again and it would be better to do it over multiple appointments. She was totally right, and my hair thanks her for it.
Now, almost a year later, Moni has fully color corrected my hair, gotten it back to a natural (and not brassy or overprocessed) blonde, and kept my ends healthy. I have referred now 3 other friends to Moni and she keeps their hair looking fly too.
When I got engaged in September the FIRST person I called was Moni. I told my fiancé that if she couldn't do my hair and makeup, we'd have to book the venue for a date she could! That is how much I love and trust Moni with my hair and makeup. Wedding pics are forever, and I knew she had to be the one to do it.
Now, I know hair is an individual process, so don't trust only me. Go look at her gallery (@hair_makeupbymoni on IG). She even does the makeup and hair for print/magazine spreads, the niners cheerleaders, and fashion bloggers.
I cannot say enough good stuff about Moni as a stylist, but I also just love her as a person. She's so sweet and kind, and she always keeps me laughing! Thanks for slaying my hair every time, Moni! :)
