"Very, very pleased! I got the Japanese Hair Straightening and it was so worth it."

"I had been searching up and down Google for a salon that did the Japanese Hair Straightening and that's how I came upon Montblanc Hair Field. Thanks to La Jolla Mom's blog post about getting her hair done here and saying she had an amazing experience, I took a leap of faith and came to try it out first by getting a haircut and blow dry. I had Shu as my stylist for my cut and blow dry and he was just the sweetest. Very gentle, professional and quiet. I felt very comfortable and well cared for the entire time I was there. Shu was extremely polite and gentle the entire time. Not once did he burn my scalp or hair, or tear my hair, unlike other salons where i've been burned pretty badly. I also met Masa and he was just as polite and kind as Shu. He did my mom's hair and honestly he did an amazing job. My mom looked almost 10 years younger when she walked out and it made my day to see her smiling like that. She was so happy with her cut that she was actually admiring herself in the mirror. She said Masa listened to her and her requests and he was very accommodating and gentle with her, unlike her previous hair stylist. It's been a long time since I've seen her smile and look like that again so I'm extremely happy with the service! The interior of the hair salon is very clean and quaint, the atmosphere calming. The entire staff here is super sweet and polite. They actually listen to you and what you have to say. Unlike american hair stylists that think they know what's best for you and your hair. Although they are a bit on the expensive side, to me it's worth every penny. I won't hesitate to come back here again. They are all wonderfully talented and super nice so that right there is worth coming back for. In fact i'll be coming back in March to get my hair straightened using the Japanese hair straightening method."

"I got the Japanese Hair Straightening Perm done here by Shu. The service itself was great. As anyone in the market for a hair straightening perm knows, it can be a bit pricey. Generally, the Korean Magic Straight is cheaper, and many argue that these two procedures are identical. As someone with damaged hair from 2 years of straightening/curling, I was afraid that this service would make the damage worse, and require whatever salon I chose to cut off several inches of my hard work. However, the treatment was so non-damaging that I only needed a maintenance trim to have luscious hair again. From my previous experience, Magic Straight had always damaged my hair after the procedure, and as someone with thick, curly, coarse hair, it would take anywhere between 7-9 hours. At Montblanc, it only took 4.5 hours, which is a huge pro for me. Not having to spend several hours maintaining my hair, keeping the length for the most part, and having healthy hair again is a dream come true. Despite the price, it was absolutely worth the investment, and I strongly recommend this to anyone experiencing similar struggles. Finally, I'd like to discuss the customer service itself. Shu is a wonderful hair stylist that kept an engaging conversation for a good portion of the treatment. At the end, there was a small bump in the back, but he offered to redo it for free. Great experience overall!"

"I got the Japanese hair straightening process done on my hair here by Saori twice so far and it's amazing every time. The staff is always super polite, courteous, and knowledgeable. The price is definitely up there but for something that needs little to no maintenance and lasts months to half year or a year depending on your hair growth, it's absolutely worth it. The hair products they use to wash your hair also smells amazing and I think it helps with the after care also. My hair was getting a little frizzy and coarse after a few months of regular shampoo and conditioner after the straightening but when using the Milbon line they have, it's back to silky soft, smooth, and amazing smelling hair. Save your time and money to treat yourself if you have difficult hair that you have to put up everyday because it's too unmanageable like me. Everyone deserves beautiful hair that they can feel good about even after the first wash. #treatyoself2019"

"The best salon experience I have ever had, thanks to Shu. I wanted to get my hair permanently straightened and I am so glad I chose Montblanc Hair Field and mostly that I got to work with Shu. He made me feel confident in his skill set and although I will be leaving SD, I’ll be coming back for touch-ups once my hair grows out. Even if it’s another service you are thinking about, the experience alone is worth coming here."
