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.“

“Amazing service! I highly recommend, not only did I get taken in an hour earlier which was sooo convenient but the service was amazing. I quickly got asked for refreshments and got started right away. I had may as my hairstylist and she was amazing! she did exactly what I wanted and even gave me good advice on how to cut, style, and treat my hair. She’s super sweet and definitely very experienced with cutting hair. She styled my hair beautifully In a way I would have never thought and I LOVED it! 10/10 recommend coming here for your next hair cut for a relatively cheap and great haircut.“

“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“

“Alex tackled my thick, wavy, hard to cut hair with skill and enthusiasm and gave me a great, versatile cut. She is a wonderful addition to Gila Rut. I always enjoy their top shelf services, from the friendly professional staff to the shoulder and hand massage.“

“I had the best experience with Daisy. I went in with photos of what I thought i wanted, and she took the time to examine my hair, curl pattern, face shape, etc... and gave me a cut that incorporated all the pictures and exactly what I wanted. After Daisy finished with me my curls were soft, bouncy, and simply JUICY. My hair looks and feels healthier. She definitely knows curly hair! I totally love my hair now.“

“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!“

“Ajay is an amazing artist! she’s done my hair a few times and never fails to perfectly execute the vision! 10/10!“

“The shop is extremely professional and accommodating! I’m very selective and VERY picky when it comes to my hair. My stylist was incredibly patient, and the owner made sure everything I asked for was done to perfection. I will definitely return and highly recommend Braiding by Beju SALON!“

“Best salon I've ever been to. I always leave with exactly what I want and my hair feeling super soft and not damaged. Everyone is super friendly and kind and makes you feel super welcome! Highly recommend!“

“I love this salon, it is such a wonderful experience. Mary is my hair artist and truly brilliant!“

“Had a mens haircut done today by Freddy. Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional guy. Did exactly what i was looking for. My girlfriend loves my new haircut.“

“My daughter moved to San Diego as a freshman in college and was long overdue for a haircut. She is so particular about the style of cut and was nervous about trying a new stylist. I booked an appointment at Elli's Hair Studio based on the reviews. My daughter walked out of the salon, loving her new cut with long layers and really liked that Elli listened to what she wanted. She is happy she found her go-to hair stylist while she's here for college.“

“Lolita made my first salon experience an amazing one. She is skilled, friendly, a lovely person, and listens to what you want. I showed her a picture of the haircut and style I wanted and she didn't disappoint. I love how my hair turned out. I have received so many compliments since Lolita cut and styled my hair! Highly recommend her!“

“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!“

“Friendly, contemporary salon in a great location. Convenient online appointment scheduling.“

“What an outstanding experience! My hair is long, wavy, thick (both the strands and the amount), and somewhat coarse. Shalay and I first spoke about some styles I might like and how much time I wanted to spend with styling. After a fantastic shampoo, conditioner, and comb out, she went to work - wow! I’m thrilled with the results! My hair was so soft and shiny, too. I will be back!

Hair type: My hair is long, wavy, thick (both the strands and the amount), and somewhat coarse.

Stylist: Shalay - awesome!“

“I really like the shop, staff, and my stylist. She listens and we collaborate as it should be. And she is really fair with pricing. But, it was the owner who originally referred me which I appreciated. And while there is no such things as perfection its about time I speak on this one issue always happens to me when I go in. UNSOLICTED OPINIONS: Ma'am while this your shop other beauticians customers may not care to hear your opinion. We just might if it was ever positive but it never is. All of this negative energy could take a toll on your stylists esteem & is unasked for by their clients. It is also unprofessional. And makes me not want to go there. Life and death is in the power of your mouth. Either blessings or curses. You should choose your words more wisley and WHO you share your opinion with. Each time you are cursing your shop & staff keeping them.from blessings!
As for me personally, you are NOT my stylist AND, no disrespect, but I ONLY listen to advice about my hair from people who wear their natural hair like me not from someone who wears wigs anyway. So save PLEASE save your negative opinions for YOUR own clients. Thanks. But NO Thanks.“
