A true artist

Art is very talented and it is clear that he loves what he does. After searching for a hairdresser in Monterey for a LONG time, I've finally found the ONE. I did not have much length when I went to get a cut, and Art was able to give me 'shape' and volume without taking off any length. I left with a great cut and beautiful, one of a kind and healthy color. If you are looking for a professional with experience and talent, Art is the one!
- Pros: Can work with what you have and make it fabulous!
If you want perfection, you got it.

Art truly is an artist. I am new to the Monterey area and had been to 3 so-called ?best in town? hairdressers before I found Art thanks to City Search. When I was having my consultation with Art he was friendly and professional and I felt very comfortable that I was in safe and creative hands. Art has a wonderful way of making your hair work for you without giving you that feeling that you have just lost a ton of hair. I have had my haircut all over the world from Sydney to London to Dubai by people I thought were the best in the business but they could all take a lesson or two from Art. His cut was perfection. Art not only finished my hair beautifully but showed me step by step how to re create it on my own at home. Big plus points for that!
I have two regrets, a) that I did not find him earlier and b) that I can?t take him everywhere with me. See you again very soon Art!!
- Pros: I walked out feeling like a movie star
- Cons: None
Best hair anywhere!

They say "seek and ye shall find". At last!--thanks to Citysearch--I found Art Dominguez. I've been in the area ten years and had not found anyone who really knew how to cut hair. I got a lot of "off" dye jobs and parched hair from colorists who had been recommended by other people. Since I have had my hair done in major cities (Bumble and Bumble when I'm in New York), I had sadly concluded that folks in Monterey just had low expectations and therefore accepted mediocre results. Right before I found Art, I was so discouraged, I purchased my own professional scissors and some Whole Foods color believing that a home job would be preferable to what I had been getting.
Art has helped me grow my formerly short hair to a softer, easily managed length. He has a keen eye for warm versus cool undertones in skin color, therefore creates beautifully nuanced, gentle color for me. He is an artist in every sense of the word. He will partner with you in going where you want to go with your hair, and is very generous with his time and talents. Among the many blessings in my life, I am so glad I found Art!
an "Artisic" experience!

I entered the salon wanting a "miracle" - I think most people do, though they might not say it out loud. The lovely outcome more than met my need for uplifted spirit!
Art worked with my iffy color, thinning locks and shaggy shape and, like the artist he is, gave this aging face a lovely, soft frame with delicate color that enhances my own coloring. I feel more confidant and am learning, once again, how important it is to take care of myself - thus able to take better care of those around me.
Kudos - Mr. Dominguez

Be warned!!! this man is going to do what HE wants to do, he does not listen to you!!! It's all about him, not about you. I hated it, don't go to him unless you want or need someone else to tell you how to look.
- Pros: seemed willing to fix what he did, sort of
- Cons: had to pay a lot for results I never wanted in the first place
Top Hair Stylist... EVER

Before going to Art, I read reviews online. I tried scheduling an appointment, but found it quite difficult, so don't expect an appointment the same week. (He's that popular!) I ended up going to someone who studied under him, but was not happy with the cut.
For my next cut, I HAD to see Art. I was so curious what all the hype was about. Once I experienced his skill for myself, I found no need to go to anyone else. I have long, naturally curly hair and Art told me things about my hair that I didn't even know. (He also mentioned some things that only I have noticed about my hair. It felt so good to talk about my hair with Art because he not only listened, responded with knowledge, and problem solved, but he also made time to address my questions and concerns.
Now about the cut; Art is the only person who has EVER cut my tendrils in such a way that allowed my natural curls/waves to shape, blend, and grow nicely. Truly a miracle.
Art... he does magic! I feel sooo beautiful again! Thanks, Art !!!

My hair was badly damaged by another hair stylist and was completely lifeless when Art found it. I felt ugly before he touched my hair. Art magically transformed my hair into something that I have never expected! I am beautiful again! He truly did an amazing job with my hair! Art really listens to you. I just let him do what he thought might look good. And yes, he gave me the best coloring job I have ever had. Art is very talented! I completely trust him for art?s sake, and I am so blessed and grateful that I found him. He is a very unique stylist and artist who have the ability to bring out the best in your hair. I consider myself very lucky to be at the hands of such a great artist! I thought that the remedy to my badly damaged hair was to whack it all off, but then there was Art. And there was art. He performed, basically, magic to my hopeless hair. I don't know how he did it, and I never thought it was possible to salvage such a mess that this other hair stylist did in Marina, but whatever it was that Art did to my hair, it was great! Now I would wake up in the morning not feeling depressed when I see myself in the mirror... I feel great! Thank you soooo much! I really, really highly recommend Art to anyone wishing to bring out the best in their hair. He is better than the best Beverly Hills hair professionals! I am soooo glad that he is in Monterey. Art is art himself! Art, thank you for bringing my confidence back. You are the best in the world! I feel beautiful again... Thank you for that! Marienell Bautista. csumb
- Pros: Very affordable for the quality delivered. Art delivered beyond what I expected and more... Wish the world has more artists like ART!
- Cons: He brings out the best in you -- I might always expect this. Too bad, there is only one Art.
Awesome Haircut

Art did an amazing job with my long, limp, lifeless hair. When I went in I wasn't sure what I wanted, but I could tell he already knew exactly the cut that would work for me. I pretty much gave him free reign, though he made sure I was happy every step of the way, and I'm glad that I did. While my new cut isn't crazy or completely different, it is so beautiful! I can just let my hair air dry and STILL have a great style if I want to now, because the cut just works so well with my naturally wavy long hair. I don't think I've ever felt this good about a haircut. Thanks Art! Also, just so you know, he dry-cut my hair and I have NEVER been happy with that technique until now.
- Pros: Suprisingly quick and inexpensive. An absolute artist!
- Cons: Be sure to ask specifically for shampoo and styling if you want that included.
A Great Experience!!

Being new to Monterey I was nervous to begin the search to find someone that I would trust cutting my hair. I logged onto City Search and after reading many reviews on Art Dominguez I decided to give him a try. Boy, was I glad I did! Art gave me a awesome haircut! He is GREAT with long hair and is not overzealous in cutting. He really listens to what you what. We then decided to add some color so I just let Art do what he thought might look good. Wow! He foiled my hair and gave me the best highlight job I have ever had. Art is very talented at what he does. I completely trust him and am so thankful that I found him.

Much like the excitement of taking cars out for a test drive, I love to change up the mix when it comes to stylists.. I'm always looking for something more or for someone to magically transform my hair into something it's not - or never will be! Fortunately, a friend recommended Art Dominguez after I had recently moved to the Monterey area. He is a truely unique stylist, who has the ability to bring out the best qualities in the hair that you have. I consider myself lucky to be at the hands of such a great stylist, and would highly recommend Art to anyone wishing to bring out the best in their hair.
