Best Hair Salons In San Diego

“I honestly don’t know what I’d do if I hadn’t Heavenly! She was upbeat and so assuring. If I EVER get this awful stuff again, I’ll run to her. She explained the price and process. It actually felt good to feel the cool smell of eucalyptus oil on my head as well as When she count through. I was sent home with a kit to continue to treat it, and she told me exactly what to do with our house and items were previously. Mostly, her professionalism and amazing attitude, along with the ingredients she used makes this place a 10. Thank you Heavenly!!!!! Oh, and she got me in that day and the pricing was in half of the other places. She loves her job because she gets to make peoples head free again!“

“I've been in SD for over 6 years and was never able to find a good place to get my hair cut until here!! The vibes and decor are SUPER cute, and the candy and refreshments at the waiting area is an extra bonus. Tawny is always my go-to, and I always leave super happy!! Absolutely love this place.“

“It was an awesome haircut. I got a little confused but was patiently pointed out my error. THANK YOU“

“Lovely salon and received one of the best haircuts I've had in a long time from Norman.“

“Great haircut. Made my hair feel much healthier. Shamsi also did a great blowout! Highly recommend visiting Shamsi!“

“I have been to several curly hair specialists even in LA and I haven't been satisfied with any of their services. However, I found Brianna a couples weeks ago and she has been the best! She is super helpful, sweet, honest, and very professional. I was very impressed with her style of cutting and all of her helpful tips and guidance. You can also reach out to her with any questions at any time and she responds as soon as she can. I love her vibe and her hair studio is so adorable. I was extremely happy with the outcome of how beautiful my hair turned out. I am definitely coming back and she is now my new curly hair specialist. I even booked my future appointment with her before I left. I recommend you book your appointment online ahead of time. As for parking there are some located outside. Don't hesitate to contact her and book as soon as you can before she runs out of spots! Finding a curly hair specialist can be difficult and I finally found the best!“

“I’ve been meaning to write this review since my very first appointment, because honestly… this salon deserves every bit of praise. If you’re the girl (or guy!) with naturally curly hair that can feel unmanageable, unpredictable, or just in need of some real love and you want a place that honors your curls instead of trying to change them — this is it. This is your place.

I have 3B/3C/4a curls, and for years I felt like most salons didn’t really understand how to work with them. Either my curls would get blown out, weighed down, or completely lost in the process. But here? It’s the opposite. They don’t take your curls away they bring them back to life. They make them more manageable, more refreshed, more you, while still letting your natural curl pattern shine beautifully.

I’ve been seeing Taylor since the very beginning, and she is absolutely phenomenal. Truly gifted. Not only does she know curls inside and out, but she listens, she explains, she teaches, and she genuinely cares about how you feel when you walk out the door. After three visits, I can confidently say I would never dream of going anywhere else. Every time I leave her chair, I feel lighter, more put-together, and honestly… more like myself.

And the salon as a whole? Incredible. The owner is amazing the kind of person who genuinely loves her clients and pours her heart into the space. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and kind. There’s no judgment, no rush, no pressure. Just a truly supportive, uplifting environment that makes you feel taken care of.

As a new mom, having hair that feels manageable and beautiful again has been such a gift. Being able to wear it down confidently, without spending forever trying to make it look decent, has honestly been one of the highlights of my year. It sounds dramatic, but it’s been life-changing — feeling like me again through something as simple as loving my hair.

If you’re looking for a salon that respects your curls, understands your texture, and wants to enhance your natural beauty instead of altering it, this is the one. I can’t recommend it enough.“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Kiele! I came in for a brow wax and left feeling like a whole new person. First of all, she’s so sweet and welcoming — instantly made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands.

She really took the time to shape my brows to flatter my face and listened to what I wanted (not too thin, natural but clean). The precision and attention to detail? 10/10. My brows have honestly never looked this good. Zero redness or irritation afterward, and the results lasted longer than any wax I’ve had before.

You can tell Kiele genuinely cares about her clients and her craft. If you’re even thinking about getting your brows done, do yourself a favor and book with her — you’ll walk out feeling like your best self“

“This was a really positive experience. Daze was so nice. Haircuts feel risky, but Daze was attuned and responsive, and reassured me that we could always adjust (even through a mini follow-up appointment) until we found what I liked. I need not have worried - it turned out fantastic!“

“Lia is the only person I trust with my hair and I love my experience every time I go in. Show up in tears and peace with no fears. ?“

“I have been coming here for a few months and had always had great interactions with technicians who are super kind and friendly. I recommend their eyelash extensions and Ginna’s waxing!“

“I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Tashya. From the moment I walked in, I felt heard and understood. Tashya carefully listened, not just to what I wanted for my hair, but also to what works best for my lifestyle.
Tashya walked me through a few options and gave honest, thoughtful advice. The end result was a haircut and color that I absolutely love.
Tashya is professional and skilled. I left feeling confident and cared for. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a stylist who listens and delivers beautiful, personalized results!“

“Amazing service with daisy!!! I just moved to San Diego looking for a new salon when I stopped into portal, I got an appointment with daisy. I haven’t got my hair done in a while(I had a lot of concerns and issues) daisy knew exactly my vision. We did a Bob haircut for me and color which turned out incredible. I’ve never been happier. I highly recommend going to her if meeting somebody to trust with your hair inspiration and vision.“

“So kind and did such a nice job. I live two minutes way and never knew about this place. I’ll be back!“

“Aisha is a lovely human and runs a great business. She truly listens, gives you what you want with your hair, and doesn't pressure upselling. Salon is comfy and cute, has lots of natural light, and snacks and drinks are always offered. Highly highly recommend!“

“I recently moved here and was desperately seeking a stylist for color & cuts. I am so lucky that I found Lolita. Very talented. She is a professional. Has all of the necessary products. That wasn't the case with 2 other salons that I tried before finding her. She is so sweet and so interesting, your appointment will fly by.
I highly recommend Lolita :)“

“Vy is amazing! Before & after pics of my haircut! I literally have always dreaded getting my haircut due to it not turning out how I want but this haircut was so much better than I could've expected! I'm in love with my hair and will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend everyone come here for amazing hair transformations! Vy is just amazing, she offers so many services, & is genuinely so sweet! Everyone book ASAP!!“

“Miriam made the effort to find a spot for me last minute and even stayed after her usual opening hours. She’s very friendly and caring. I went in for a dye and a haircut and she did an amazing job!“

“I recently moved to downtown SD and spent MONTHS researching and reviewing hair people (including asking everyone I ran into). It's almost funny how much time I spent researching it, because I didn't research a new eye doctor this hard!! Brianna (Bri) was fantastic from the start - we texted a number of times before my appointment. Part of it was for my comfort level, but also I wanted to make sure that she was prepared for what she was getting into. :) I'd been blue for 8-9 years and was ready to make the change to purple, but wasn't quite comfortable enough to have her use bleach or a color stripper just yet. She was kind and helpful and I was pleased she also uses the same product that my old gal used! My visit was excellent. The salon is clean and very pretty, and well lit. The hair is all mine (also part of my concern when initially contacting her because the website almost made me think she only does extensions), it's long and fine. Adding insult to injury, I was getting over a cold when I went to visit her. She handled me and my hair like a champ. She was friendly and talkative when I felt like it (which I really didn't, as talking made me cough). She asked questions about what hairbrush I used, questions about what my old gal did, and was great about listening and asking follow up questions. I haven't had a chance to wash it for the first time, yet, but it's a product that I'm familiar with so I'm not worried about caring for it. I will return, and next time I'll be comfortable enough to ask her to bleach my roots. I highly suggest Bri and the Green+Anchor Salon!“

“Liza is kind, talented, and skilled with hair. I just had my first hair cut with her on Thursday and am very happy with the hair cut. She also gave me great suggestions on hair health. Highly recommend. - Diana“

“I've been coming to Madison for several years and she is awesome! As a curly girl, it can be VERY hard to find someone who knows how to handle curls and Madison does a great job of not taking off too much and giving my hair shape. Always prompt and a pleasure to work with.“

“Needed a new place for my hair. Felipe went over and beyond ?Best service. Great haircut. Nicest gentlemen. Got a new customer from me.??Couldn’t ask for anything better. LOVED MY NEW HAIRCUT!! Thanks felipe“

“When I first moved to San Diego I struggled to find a good men’s haircut for my long hair. Then I found Tino and I’ve been going to him for years. He’s the best in the business!“

“I love this place! It’s clean, pleasant and I’m so pleased with the results. I’ve had my hair done twice and I will definitely return.
Grateful that a wholistic hair care place like this is located in San Diego.“

“Haydee and her team were amazing and exceeded all our expectations for my wedding day. From the start she was very professional and genuinely interested in understanding my vision. On wedding day she made sure I stayed calm with all the nerves unfolding. They arrived on time, set up everything quickly and made sure it was all organized so we can relax and enjoy the morning. I received so many compliments throughout the night on my hair and make up. Doing an up so was out of my comfort zone for my wedding day, but I trusted Haydee and she went above and beyond. She delivered my vision perfectly. My hair and makeup lasted all night long even through all the happy tears. :) If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I love Haydee !!!!!“
