Art Dominguez Image Consultant

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 cant take him everywhere with me. See you again very soon Art!!

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!

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.

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.
