Ashley was amazing! She was so thorough and gave me a wonderful haircut and color! Loved chatting with her since she’s so so sweet. She was very patient and understanding with all of my questions and made sure that I was completely happy with my hair. I’d trust her with my hair any day and look forward to having my hair done with her again before my wedding next year! :)

Alli is a WONDERFUL stylist. She always greets you with a smile and is so sweet. Her conversations are always flowing but she also knows when you just want to relax. I love seeing her for my haircuts because she always knows how I like my hair cut and styled, and I love that when I ask her to do what I think looks best, she does! Because sometimes I can be indecisive, hehe. Thank you Alli for always providing the best service and for being an amazing friend!

I had my hair cut here after going 1.5 years since my last haircut. This is also my first time at Salon Ardor and decided to go with Jen to cut my hair. I’ve heard amazing things from friends who have been here to their hair cut or colored. For context, I’ve never been loyal to any hairstylist since I’ve always had my hair cut by a family friend or by someone recommended to me by an older family member, and I’ve never been happy with any haircut. Jen really took care of my super long and thick hair and cut it exactly to my specifications, I’ll definitely be back!! The BEST scalp massage!!

Sasha is a talented stylist and a caring young woman. The salon is always clean and the merchandise nicely displayed. I find the chairs you sit in for your haircut uncomforable.

I got a really good haircut! It was kind of expensive though, and took a really long time. They mixed up on my stylist, and the first one didn't seem very friendly. My second one was better, but it was still mostly quiet. I'm trying to engage in small talk, but Fiona didn't seem to want to talk, which left uncomfortable silence.

Fiona is truly the best. She always does a great job on my hair. Love the color and haircut. Thanks Fiona, can’t wait to see you again 🥰

Alli is amazinggg! I’ve been debating lightening my hair for a long time, and let my intrusive thoughts win last year by putting black box dye in it 😅 so I knew lightening it would be challenging but she saw my vision and was able to make it happen all while still keeping it healthy! Thank you Alli for my birthday hair, I will definitely be back in your chair! 🤍

Amazing as usual!! I see Jen around once a year to 1.5 years to get a cut and she always makes sure to get all my layers done perfectly. I have pretty long, straight, and damaged hair due to surfing and hot saunas, and I always walk out with my hair perfectly styled. I usually get a butterfly cut with face framing layers, and my haircut always grows out beautifully. I'll be back!

Alli is a hair magician! First, she made me feel so comfortable from the moment I stepped in the salon. She explained everything in such great detail and made sure to check in along the way. My hair is wavy/curly and typically frizzy and she gave me the smoothest, bounciest best blow out of my life!! Her experience with layered haircuts on long, thick, textured hair is unmatched. 10/10 recommend

I love my haircut! This was my first time working with Ari and she was wonderful. She answered all my questions, helped me understand what cut I wanted, and would check in regularly to see if the length of my layers were to my liking.

Went in scared with very damaged over processed hair from another salon. During our consultation Yoshida made me feel I was in great hands and was honest with me about my multi colored blondes and what to expect today with her services. She was amazing and I left feeling beautiful and with soft healthy looking hair.

I was looking for a stylist who listens and knows what they’re doing. I’m so happy to have found both (and more) with Roby at Salon Ardor!

Cole and staff are wonderful. They make you feel so welcome. Best place in San Diego.

Aashley is absolutely amazing! Every time I go to her, she does such an incredible job with my hair. She really takes the time to understand what you want and makes sure everything looks perfect. My haircut always turns out even better than I imagined, and I leave feeling so confident. She’s also super friendly and makes the whole experience really comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented stylist!

I have been going to Jen for a few years now and she is literally the most detail oriented and amazing hairdresser I have ever been to! She is truly a master of her craft and takes such pride in everything she does. She takes her time to fully explain the details of the service and maintenance so you can make the right decision that works with your lifestyle! My hair always looks so stunning after leaving her chair whether is color or cut and I get so many compliments on it that even when it’s time for touch up it still looks so good! Her hands are magic!

Alli is such a sweet and talented hair stylist! From the moment I sat down in her chair I knew I was in good hands. She made sure to understand exactly what I desired and talked through every step of the process to make sure I knew what to expect. I got a haircut and balayage and she asked questions throughout to make sure I liked the length, layers, etc of my hair. The end result exceeds my expectations every time. Also, if you like head massages, SHE IS YOUR GIRL. i cannot recommend Alli enough! Book her NOW.

Cole is amazing! My haircut and color are perfect!

Awesome haircut and color by Cole.

Just received a haircut and color from the VERY TALENTED Cole.

Jen was very professional and talked through the process before she cut my hair. She gave me good advice on the length and layers, etc. that work on my hair. I came out loving my haircut and felt refreshed. Thank you Jen!

100/10 always ! Roby was meant to be a haircut queen!

Ashley is a very talented hair stylist! I have been coming to her for over a year now. She ensures to listen to your wants and needs for your desired look and always makes sure you are fully satisfied with the outcome! I will definitely recommend her & I only trust her to do my hair!

Alli is amazing! She helped me figure out what I really wanted and how to achieve it - for now it’s face frame highlight and demi perm on the greys for the beginning stages of grey blending in the future to give me a natural look. I love watching the process and learning terms like “color melting” and “demarcation.” Alli was fun to chat with and made me feel so comfortable in the chair that I wanted to take a nap LOL. I’m excited for my next appt in 6 weeks! Thanks Alli!

Jen consistently delivers gorgeous results that are designed to last. She gets it. As a busy mom, you don’t always have time to run back to the salon every few weeks. Her cuts and color hold up beautifully for months, looking just as fresh and polished as the day you left the chair.

Ashley did the most incredible blonde balayage for me and I am beyond obsessed with the results! She blended everything so seamlessly, and the color looks bright, and dimensional. It’s exactly what I envisioned, but even better. She took her time to make sure the placement and tone were perfect, and you can really tell she cares about the health of your hair. I’ve gotten nonstop compliments since my appointment. Ashley is truly the best. I can’t recommend her enough! 🫰🏻

Thank you Ashley for being so sweet and giving me my favorite haircut ever ♥️ and also thanks to everyone else in the salon who made my first time here so pleasant with drinks and snacks. I'll surely be returning

My experience was amazing!! Ashley was so thoughtful and listened to me, while giving me her advice on my hair. The whole process was peaceful and she really took her time with me. I loved the scalp massage and blowout! She was very talkative and down to earth. I would definitely come back for my next haircut. For the service I got, the price is completely reasonable.
