I have been looking for my "Cary " for years...... After years of everything from unpredictable to downright devastating cuts, colors, highlights or even stylings, I left Cary Carter's chair overjoyed to know I don't have to search any longer ! Being accomodated last minute and nearly after hours was just the beginning of my pampering. After settling in with my hot tea (presented in an artsy g...
I was out-of -town on business and just needed a haircut. I was assigned to Cary and had an absolutely wonderful time chatting the time away. I really love my haircut and his advice for me to "go gray" and the reasons why gave me something to seriously think about. I highly recommend Cary to anyone looking for a new stylist and anyone thinking about a change!
Cary is an excellent stylist - I've been very happy with every cut after seeing him, and more importantly it grows out well. I used to return for a cut every 4 weeks, but since going to Cary I can usually go 6+ weeks before returning to the salon. Cary is also very good at providing direction and ideas if you want it, and he has a great "chair-side" manner. I definitely highly recommend Cary to a...
I've known Cary since he worked at Kamalaspa, and he's always been a fabulous hairstylist. My favorite things about him as a stylist and a person are that: he's sweet, he's funny, he really listens to what I want, he asks questions to clarify, and he has amazing skills to bring out the best in my hair.
I had jumped around to a few different places and realized that of all of the people who hav...
I have followed Cary to 3 salons over the last 2 years. This should give you some insight into how my hair feels about him.
I first found him by accident while looking for a salon in Union square about 2 years ago. Luckily, he was the only stylist working in the now defunct Kamalspa. He gave me a glamour kitten layered cut with bangs which I loved.
I stopped to going to him for awhile, be...
I was in SFO for a weekend and I needed a haircut, so I went online and found Cary on citysearch. He had many positive reviews so I went along to MKNYTHMP to try it out.
I was not disappointed. Cary is a master of his art. He loves what he does and it shows.
He's a very calm presence and fun to chat to.
I'd been getting the same haircut for years and Cary talked me into something a litt...
i have highlighted blonde hair. things can go downhill quick with a bad, inexperienced colorist. you could end up with stripes, foil lines at your part, or the "i dumped a whole bottle of bleach on my head" look.
Cary knows how to give you a natural look, time and time again. i used to drive from san francisco to berkeley to see my past stylist. once i met cary, i never went back.
i have extre...
Cary is a highly skilled professional with the ability to apply the right style perfectly every time. He has patiently and expertly guided me to styles that are current and fit my personality. I have been seeing Cary for more than 2 years and have experienced repeatable and consistent results throughout. I would recommend Cary to anyone in need of an experienced professional who is friendly, know...
Cary is amazing at what he does. He has a degree in art, and it shows in his work. He is meticulous in his approach and execution and he has the rare ability to capture the essence of his client in his art: creating a haircut/style that fits the client's appearance, personality and lifestyle. There were moments that felt 'Picassoesque', as Cary took a step back to look at his work, and then came ...
Cary is the best! I have been going to Cary for 3 years. I love getting my haircut from him. All I have to do is show up and he takes it from there. Regardless if I keep my hair buzzed short, or if I am growing it out to have a more trendy haircut - Cary always takes great care of me. He knows what look will look best and keeps me current and stylish. I don't like to book too far in advance ...
Cary's skill and craftsmanship is incredible. I had my haircut in many places including IvanNoel in Chicago and Shorty's in LA and I have to say, hands down, this is one of the nicest salons, with a GREAT staff.
Oh, where to begin in explaining how much I adore Cary!! So I came from out of town for a wedding and called Vidal Sassoon for a recommendation for a stylist to do an up-do. Cary was recommended immediately and i booked my appointment. I sent some photos via email to the receptionist to pass to Cary about some ideas I had for my updo. Not only was the receptionist absolutely sweet and wonderf...
I have been going to Cary since I moved back to the City 7 years ago. I have been to many different salons but Cary is by FAR the best!! Every haricut he gives me is exceptional! I would recommend him to everyone!
For a person with difficult curly hair Cary is a godsend. I discovered him accidentally on an all day trip to the spa. The entire outing was nice but what I remember best about that day was how beautiful my hair looked! Cary spent at least an hour and a half (if not 2) pampering my head and when I left his chair my usually out of control, frizzy hair was luxuriously soft and cut in amazing lay...
I have been searching for someone to cut my curly hair without making it look like a pyramid. Cary was able to perfectly shape my curly hair with a shape that fits my face, and give me a color with dimention. My experience with Cary Carter at MNKYTHMP (just say monkeythump) was comfortable and quite pleasing. In addition to his great work, the salon he works at is state of the art, modern and ver...
My boyfriend is VERY picky where he gets his hair cut and usually refuses to get his hair cut at the same place twice. When I took him to Cary Carter's for a trim, he instantly liked the salon. The atmosphere, the staff - everything was to his liking. He's even talking of letting me take him back for a second time!
There are few people in life to whom I would hand over full responsibility for something vitally important, then relax with a big smile on my face. I've only had one appointment with Cary, but he sure seems to be among the chosen. Maybe everyone thinks they have complicated hair--I am no different: cowlicks, super-straight hair, color-treated. During my Guerrilla Makeover with Beth Alyse, I ar...
i had a very positive experience with cary at kamala spa. he was very attentive to all my requests and was very patient with my hair. as he is working on your hair, you will notice that he will pay attention to every little detail. the results will show the proof. ive tried many stylists here in san francisco, and he's the best one so far! I love my haircut, and my highlights came out really...
Cary did an updo for me for New Year's Eve and I received rave reviews from all of my friends. Not only is Cary an artist at his craft, but he knows how to make a girl look her very best for those very special events. I highly recommend Cary for updos. Simply fabulous!!
Cary at Kamalaspa created an out-of-this-world Marie Antoinette hair style for myself and a friend. Two distinct styles but both won praise all night long at a themed event. Worked quickly and easily, adding tons of extra hair (and feathers!) in record time. So great. My highest recommendation!
I am new to the City and have been jumping from salon to salon looking for a decent cut and color. What attracted me to Cary was his individual positive reviews, rather that weeding through other salons hits and misses. I was pleased to find he is great at cutting and highlighting, and he gave me a look that was right on. I felt very comfortable with his consultation and his ideals for my sometim...
I often have mixed feelings about my hair. Cary made me and my hair look and feel good again! I cannot sing his praises enough. I get many compliments on my new cut. I had searched to find someone in the city after moving here for 3 years and i'm happy to say my search is over. Thank You Cary!
It's hard to find someone who does great color and Cary is that rare breed. I have a fabulous cut and gorgeous color from Cary! The salon itself is lovely too!
My visit was business related...my discretionary time was limited...I took the hotel concierge's recommendation for the Kamalaspa. The experience with a gifted stylist, Cary Carter, exceeded my expectations in every way. He didn't know me, my "hair issues", or my reluctance to use anyone that isn't my at-home, styling professional.
Cary did a remarkable job...with great skill, patience and a ...
Cary is an amazing stylist. I have never had a salon haircut and I have really frizzy, thick, wavy hair. Cary listened to what I wanted, made suggestions and was immensely patient. He took his time to cut my hair in layers (not easy given the thickness of my hair). He then proceeded to show my what my hair looks like straightened. No one has ever had the patience to straighten my hair, but Cary w...
Cary is an amazing hairstylist. Every time I go see him he makes sure that I am comfortable and always discusses what we are going to do before he does anything. The color he does looks very natural and I love the way he cuts my hair. As well, he does amazing updos. He is able to do them so quickly and every updo I have gotten with him doesn't fall until I want it to. That is very difficult ...
