March Hare An Aveda Concept Salon

I decided to try March Hare after reading about their prestigious Golden Pine Cone award. I was NOT disappointed! My hair stylist, Lettie is amazing. She listens to your concerns, and makes you feel completely at home. I get so many compliments on my hair now, and I am happy to tell them where I got it done. FYI they do weddings and special events too!
Amazing selection of products as well! If you have a question, CJ is your go-​to girl.
I am so happy to have found the perfect salon! Thank you ladies!

I came to this salon after getting a terrible color job at a very expensive salon in LA. Maryanne fixed my cut and miraculously got my hair back to a normal color. I always enjoy going here and consider this salon as good as any in more metropolitan areas. It is not inexpensive but I wouldn’t expect it to be. I never worry about my hair getting screwed up and I enjoy being here. The salon is very pretty and intimate and friendly.

What a rip off! I was unfortunate enough to end up with Maryanna, the owner. My foil «touch up», for what should have been half a head of hair, ended up being one strip of color down the middle of my head with three miserly foils on either side at the crown. I guess she’s so greedy, that she had the opportunity to squeeze in a haircut at the last minute and didn’t even color ¼ of my head. Total bill for that quarter head of haircolor and a haircut? $ 375.00. Hope it was worth it, you’ll never get another dime from me again. All she did was complain about how much the remodel to her salon cost her. I guess she was trying to recoup the cost of her entire remodel in my one visit to her salon. NEVER AGAIN!

Name should be March Past.
Very light trim (because I really only needed color) and full color — which, God help me — can only be described as «mousy brown.» I’d shown her several photos of my hair, taken over the last two years. In none of them was my hair brown.
I recolored my hair myself later, that day, with L’Oreal, something I haven’t done in at least a decade. It’s still too dark. The more I look in the mirror, the angrier I get. On line at CVS, a woman with pretty hair gave me her stylist’s name. Hope that one will work out.
Price tag for this outing: $ 345. Plus tip.

I had the best haircut of my life by Maryanna. She is very intuitive, intelligent and a real artist. I have very curly hair and had many lousy and an equal number of mediocre haircuts. I had almost given up on believing that a decent haircut is in it for me in this lifetime. Then I found March Hare. Maryanna knows hair, understands what her customer wants and needs and makes it happen in such a relaxed and easy manner, I was beyond happy. I would give her 10 points

Monica was fantastic and did exactly what I asked for. I went to her for a blowout for my engagement photos and was very happy with the result. I would highly recommend her.

If you charge $ 65 for a men’s cut you should at least talk to the guy. Being bored in a chair is an awful experience in itself. Also, I expect a longer consultation than «how do you want your hair?».

Never coming back

This IS as good as it gets! The minute I met Maryanna, the owner, I realized i was in extremely competent hands. She is THE best colorist I have had in decades and never fails to be consistent in her applications of highlights and lowlights. And her cuts are fabulous. This is talent at its best. Her receptionist, CJ, is also a delight, always attentive and unfailingly kind. Her staff is comprised of well-​trained, highly professional stylists, all of whom can be relied upon for excellent cuts and color, as well. The salon, a perfect central Carmel location, pleases the senses from the minute one enters. The Aveda product line is impressive and impeccably displayed. Never overpowering, the trademark Aveda scents immediately offer anyone who enters a very pleasurable experience. My hair went from over-​processed to beautifully conditioned after my first visit, thanks to the gentle blends of ayurvedic herbs and essences in the shampoo, conditioner and other products I now consider musts for regular hair grooming. From A-​Z this is 5-​star service, 5-​star owner, and a 5-​star product line.

Living in Carmel throughout the summer months, I needed a touch up on my roots. Walking by MarchHARE, I stopped in to inquire what they would charge for this service. The gal behind the desk was pleasant enough, but in asking the price, first she said $ 95, two minutes later it was $ 105. Rather poor PR to change a quoted price, especially for a potentially new client. I would never come back, just on principle.

Sadly I was really unimpressed with the customer service at this salon. I had called and requested info for bridal hair and makeup, got a quote for $ 300 + $ 150 for the trial appointment. That was too heavy for my budget so I decided to do my own makeup in the end and so I called back, gave them my name and asked what an updo would cost. They quoted me for $ 100. I called back to book the appointment a few days later and was told that, no, that quote is for bridesmaid updos (?!) and that my «bridal» updo would be $ 200. I feel that this was extremely unfair. The hairstyle I want is extremely easy and I feel that they were trying to take advantage of my situation the moment the word «bridal» was mentioned. Very bad customer service and shady. I will not be using this salon. I will be using a much fairer quoted price and I highly recommend brides to be careful of being overcharged for no reason.

I went to this salon for the first time last week and i must admit that the service was pretty good. I am giving the salon 1 star due to their pricing – worse than LA ladies. they charged me $ 250 for an allover color, that is the same as my natural color. I called them to discuss the exorbitant charges and was told that due to the amount and length of my hair that she felt it was warranted (btw, I have very fine, medium length hair). There are other Aveda salons close by that are much more reasonable. Don’t be taken for a ride and leave with an empty pocket book.

I love March Hair and Aveda products. This is also the only place in town that offers reward points for Aveda. The only reason why it is not 5 stars is because of the price. My husband’s haircut cost $ 80. Yikes, that is too rich for our blood so unfortunately we are taking our business elsewhere.

Marche Hair is a small but beautiful salon. The staff there is professional, warm and extremely talented. This salon is everything that a salon should be. Most importantly, the staff can really cut hair. Monica is amazing. I actually went to a different salon and was so disappointed. Had to go to Monica to fix it and she did a wonderful job. This salon has been voted best salon in Carmel by the Carmel Pine Cone for two years in a row. And it deserves it. They know what they are doing here and it shows in the overall presence of the shop. If you are considering a salon in the area, consider Marche Hair. It’s the best. DO NOT confuse this with the other Aveda salon in Carmel. You will be sadly disappointed if you do.
