    I’ve taken two classes at the factory with Dj Muldoon. If you’re a hairdresser, you need to put a master class or even his day classes on your bucket list. The space is intimate but very functional. He supplies you with everything you may need, except bring your scissors, of course. The information that you will receive will be in depth, detailed information that you can’t get from any distributor. He focuses on the craft of our trade. Dj’s foundation is Vidal Sassoon though has worked for many other companies and has his own independent education center. The space also is a salon so if you’re in San Diego, this could be your new home Salon.

    Katie, the pixie queen did it again. I came back for a trim since my pixie was growing out and I wanted a shorter pixie than I had gotten the first time. It was exactly what I wanted. I had shown her some pictures of what I was looking for and she matched them. I couldn't have asked for a better cut!

    Kait took the time to listen to my complex hair requests and share her suggested options with me . And she took the time to do it right ! Great job and reasonable price for the service provided . Plus fantastic music :-)
