Yes. Monaco Salon is home to some of the best hairdressers in the state of Florida. Whether you are looking for icy platinum, warm honey, or dimensional highlights, our specialists have mastered the art of blonde. Every appointment begins with a consultation to ensure we achieve your perfect shade.

Please leave this to the professionals. Box dye is unpredictable and difficult to remove. If you are unhappy with at-home results, call us. Our Color Correction experts can gently remove the dye and restore your hair, but we advise against experimenting further at home to avoid permanent damage.

The difference is the technique and the maintenance.
• Highlights (Foils): Create precise, defined streaks of brightness.
• Balayage (Hand-Painted): Creates a soft, sun-kissed gradient. Highlights typically require maintenance every 6–8 weeks, while balayage grows out more gracefully, offering a lower-maintenance option.

Which one should I get?

The answer depends on the look you want and how often are you willing to maintain it. Ask yourself how obvious you want your highlights to be, and if you want highlights all the way to the root. Highlights will have to be maintained every 6-8 weeks, while balayage usually grows out more gracefully, making it a lower-maintenance option.

It depends on the health of your hair. Going significantly lighter is a chemical process that often requires multiple sessions to achieve the desired tone without causing damage. As blonding specialists, we will give you a safe, realistic plan to reach your goal.

Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, wash less frequently, protect your hair from heat with a thermal spray, and minimize sun and chlorine exposure.

Schedule a gloss or toner service to give your color a boost if you're not due for a full color service.

Lived-in color is a modern technique that blends multiple shades (often using a root melt) to create dimension that mimics how hair naturally grows out. It creates a graceful transition at the roots, allowing you more time between touch-ups while still looking polished.

It depends on the type of color service and your personal preferences.

• Root Retouch: Every 4–6 weeks.
• Highlights: Every 6–8 weeks.
• Lived-In Color: Every 3–4 months (many guests visit sooner for a quick Gloss to refresh the shine).
• Vivids/Reds: Every 4–8 weeks.

Come with clean, dry hair if you're getting highlights, and avoid using heavy styling products the day of your appointment. It’s also helpful to bring inspiration photos and be ready to talk about your hair goals, maintenance preferences, and past color history so we can create the perfect plan for your hair.

Yes! This is a Monaco Salon specialty. Most salons struggle with this, but we are experts at custom-coloring extensions to blend seamlessly with your biological hair. Whether we are coloring your natural hair, the extensions, or both, we ensure a flawless match.

Kérastase Fusio Dose is a customized in-salon treatment. Your stylist will mix a concentrated formula specifically for your hair needs (such as dryness, damage, or color protection) for an instant transformation that leaves your hair incredibly soft and shiny. Because it is customized cocktail just for you, it makes an ideal addition to your color service.

The Brazilian Blowout works on all hair types. In our experience, the best candidates for the Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatment are those people with coarse, curly, or highly textured hair.  These hair types will see the most dramatic differences in their hair and their styling time. The Brazilian Blowout is very effective for eliminating frizz and creating a smooth, shiny look. We have performed the treatment on every hair type, even wavy and fine hair, as well as hair that has been permed, chemically straightened and with hair extensions.

The hair will be left totally frizz-free, shiny, effortlessly manageable and with plenty of body and bounce. There will still be the option to wear hair curly/wavy (depending on the hair type) and the freedom to blow dry hair smooth and straight in a fraction of the time invested prior to receiving the treatment.

Yes, the Brazilian Blowout will actually improve the health of color-treated/highlighted hair by conditioning the hair while sealing the cuticle for enhanced color, reduced frizz and radiant shine.

Hair smoothing and hair straightening are similar yet different in an important way. Hair smoothing, like the Brazilian Blowout, will last a long time but the results are temporary.  Your natural curl pattern will return after several months.  Hair straightening is a chemical service that permanently straightens the hair.  The curl pattern will only return on untreated hair, meaning new growth at the roots.

The Brazilian Blowout will last up to four months or more if the Açai After-Care Maintenance product line is used. The Brazilian Blowout is a cumulative treatment. The more you receive it, the healthier the hair will be and the longer the result will last.

Yes. The Brazilian Blowout actually works very well on chemically treated hair, and helps to improve the condition of the hair by fortifying each strand with essential amino acids. Brazilian Blowout is a nice alternative to a chemical relaxer if you are trying to grow out your relaxed hair.

No, your hair will not look flat as a result of receiving the Brazilian Blowout. Your hair will maintain its natural volume and you will still have that great bend and memory when blow-drying and/or using a curling iron.The Brazilian Blowout is adjustable, meaning we can remove all the curl pattern or we can leave some wave. It's up to you.

Yes, but the sequence is important here.  You can color first and then have a Brazilian Blowout but you can't do the reverse. If you recently had a Brazilian Blowout and wish to get a color service, you should wait at least 2 weeks or else you risk reducing or shortening the effectiveness of the smoothing treatment.

Although people often use the names interchangeably, the two services are formulated differently and work in slightly different ways.

A Keratin Smoothing Treatment uses a keratin-based formula that penetrates the hair cuticle, then is sealed in with heat to temporarily strengthen and smooth the hair. It’s more of a deep conditioning and restructuring treatment that fills in weak spots along the hair shaft. Results tend to be a bit heavier and silkier, and the treatment usually requires a 72-hour “no washing or tying up” period so the keratin bonds can fully set.

A Brazilian Blowout is also keratin-based, but the formulation involves amino acids and bonding technologies that coat the hair shaft rather than penetrate as deeply. This creates a protective, flexible shield around each strand. The result is lighter, more customizable smoothing—you can keep some wave or go straight—and you can wash or style the hair immediately afterward.

Yes. As long as your natural hair is at least 3-4 inches long, we can blend extensions seamlessly. Depending on your current layers and density, we may recommend one method over another (such as K-Tips for very short styles) to ensure the attachments remain invisible. We can determine the perfect plan during your free consultation.

Clarification: We offer the Method, not the Brand. "NBR" (Natural Beaded Rows) is both a specific brand of hair and an installation technique. At Monaco Salon, we utilize the Natural Beaded Row method to install our premium Genius Wefts because it offers superior comfort and blending. However, we do not sell the NBR brand of hair. We prefer to source from luxury suppliers like Great Lengths and HairDreams.

Learn about the differences between natural beaded row extensions and Monaco wefts.

Absolutely. We rarely take a single color out of a box and apply it. We order the closest premium match and then custom-blend, highlight, or root-shadow the extensions to ensure they mimic the dimension and tone of your natural hair perfectly.

Whether or not we can re-install hair will depend on a few factors, as our priority is always to protect the integrity of your hair and provide you with a high quality service. Generally speaking, we can re-install hair from any company as long as it is in good condition, 100% human hair, and appropriate for the methods we use.

Here are some difference scenarios to clarify our policy on reinstalling hair.

If your hair was installed at Monaco Salon and we're doing a maintenance appointment on your hand-tied wefts, or hair topper, YES we reuse and re-install the hair as often as we can over the life expectancy of the hair. We will let you know when your hair is getting close to the point where it needs to be replaced.

Suppose you took a break from your extensions and you want to bring us hair purchased at Monaco Salon, and within one of our installation methods, YES we can reinstall the hair provided that it is still in good shape.

What if you come to us for maintenance or move up for extensions that were purchased and installed somewhere else, will we reinstall the hair? If the hair is within one of our installation methods and within one of the specific brands we work with (Great Lengths, Bellami, Hair Dreams etc) YES we can reinstall the hair provided that it is still in good shape.

Will we install hair you purchased elsewhere and have worn, and it is within one of our installation methods and within one of the specific brands we work with (Great Lengths, Bellami, and Hair dreams), YES we can reinstall the hair provided that it is still in good shape

Will we re-install keratin bond extensions? NO, once removed, keratin bond hair cannot be reapplied, regardless of where you purchased them or which brand they are. Keratin bond extensions are a one time use item and can not be reinstalled once removed.

Generally, Yes. Our priority is maintaining the integrity of your hair. We can re-install hair extensions—even if purchased at another salon—provided they meet three criteria:

1. They are 100% Human Hair.
2. They are in excellent condition.
3. They are compatible with our methods and brands (specifically Great Lengths, Bellami, HairDreams, and Zora Hair).

Important Policy on Keratin Bonds: No. Once removed, Keratin Bond extensions cannot be re-applied. They are a single-use luxury method. This applies regardless of where they were purchased.

No. While we are happy to install outside hair that meets our quality standards, we will not color, dye, or lighten any extensions not purchased directly through Monaco Salon.

Here is why we strictly enforce this policy:

• Unknown Quality: Not all hair labeled "100% Human" is true to grade. Lower-quality hair can melt or break when exposed to professional color.
• Unknown Chemical History: We cannot know if the hair was previously bleached or coated with silicone. Even small chemical differences can cause the hair to turn unexpected colors (like pink or green) during processing.
• Protecting Your Investment: Coloring extensions is high-risk. By only coloring hair we supply, we guarantee the results and protect you from ruining expensive hair.

Note: If you have extensions installed at Monaco Salon, they must only be altered by our stylists. If another salon cuts or colors them, your Monaco warranty is voided.

Home care is simple once you know the basics. The most important rules are to brush gently from ends to root, use sulfate-free professional products (like the ones in your Gift Set), and never sleep with wet hair. We will provide you with a full guide during your appointment.

Pricing is fully customized based on the look you want to achieve. Costs can range from a few hundred dollars for volume-only fills to over $1,000 for full-lengthening transformations. Factors include the brand chosen, the method (Weft vs. K-Tip), and the amount of hair required. Because every guest is unique, we provide an exact, transparent quote during your Free Consultation.

Yes. We provide a private VIP Suite upon request. We understand that hair loss is a personal journey. Some of our guests prefer privacy to discuss their thinning hair, while others require modesty for cultural or religious reasons. Whatever your needs, we provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel completely at ease. Simply mention your preference when booking, and we will reserve our private suite for your consultation and fitting.

Think of a topper as a volume enhancer and a wig as a complete coverage solution.

• A Topper is designed to conceal thinning hair specifically at the crown or part line. It blends seamlessly with your biological hair, adding volume and density while allowing your own hair to show.
• A Wig provides total coverage, making it the ideal choice for advanced hair loss or for guests desiring a complete style transformation without styling their own hair.

Maintenance depends on whether you choose a removable option or a fixed installation:

• Clip-in Toppers (Daily Wear): These are removed before sleeping. Simply gently detangle them and store them on a stand or in their box to maintain their shape. They only require washing occasionally.
• Fixed Toppers (Beaded/Mesh): These are secured for 24/7 wear. You live your life in them! Every 4 weeks, you will visit us for a quick "tightening" appointment. Every 8 weeks, we will thoroughly remove, wash, and reinstall the topper to accommodate your natural hair growth.
• Washing Ritual: For human hair toppers, use a sulfate-free, restorative shampoo (like our RSH Therapy line). Gently wash in a downward motion without scrubbing, apply moisture to the mid-lengths, and always let the piece air-dry on a stand to preserve its texture and volume.

Yes. Because Monaco Salon uses premium, 100% human hair, your topper can be cut, colored, and heat-styled just like your natural hair to ensure a flawless match. Note: Synthetic toppers have significant limitations regarding heat and color. We always recommend a professional consultation before altering your piece.

With proper care and the use of professional products, a premium human hair topper typically lasts 18–24 months, and often longer. The lifespan depends on the quality of the hair and how frequently it is worn. In contrast, synthetic options generally require replacement every 4–6 months.

If your hair loss is due to a medical condition, your insurance may cover the cost of a "Cranial Hair Prosthesis." When speaking with your provider, terminology is key. Avoid words like "wig" or "topper," which are often classified as cosmetic. Instead, specifically ask about coverage for a Cranial Hair Prosthesis related to medical hair loss. While we cannot file the claim for you, we can provide the necessary invoices to help you submit your claim for reimbursement.

Never. When properly matched and fitted by a specialist, your topper will be undetectable. The secret to a natural look is Low Density. Many toppers on the market are too thick, which creates a "wiggy" appearance. Krista Abad specifically sources low-density toppers that mimic the natural spacing of biological hair. This allows the piece to integrate perfectly with your own hair, providing coverage and volume that looks and moves exactly like it belongs to you.

Pricing varies based on the length, color complexity, and attachment method (Clip-in vs. Fixed). At Monaco Salons, our Human Hair Topper Packages start at $2,200.

This is an all-inclusive service that covers:

• The Premium Human Hair Piece.
• Custom Color Matching.
• Professional Installation.
• A Custom Cut to blend the piece perfectly with your natural hair. We will provide you with an exact, transparent quote during your private consultation.

Mesh Integration is a specialized solution for guests with advanced hair loss who may not have enough strong natural hair to support a standard beaded topper. We create a custom, breathable mesh foundation that is gently secured to your scalp or existing hair. This mesh acts as a stable "bridge," allowing us to attach a beautiful topper securely.
