Best Beauty Salons near me in San Diego, United States

I went to Kreative Manes for the first time today. I needed to find an available appointment asap and through internet searches found this salon. I’ve been looking for someone to cut my hair for several years and I’ve tried many hair artists in San Diego and have never been fully satisfied. In less than an hour I had the BEST experience with Mike. He listened to me, and gave me exactly what I wanted. I loved my hair so much that I cancelled an appointment I had made for my daughter at a different salon and booked an appointment for her with Mike next week. HIGHLY recommend. 🖤

An absolute 10000/10 experience with Makayla! I was nervous going in and requesting for short bangs, but Makayla was so amazing at being reassuring and checking in with me as she cut them. She left them a little longer, styled them and asked if I wanted to get them shorter (and to my surprise, I asked her to take a bit more off). My haircut turned out better than anything chatGPT could’ve put on me. I can honestly say she gave me the best haircut I’ve ever received in my life. Definitely my go-to hair stylist for as long as I live in San Diego. Thank you so much Makayla!

This was my second time visiting with Makayla and I had such a great experience and she makes such a fun environment while being very educational on hair care which has helped me already. I have been to salons in the past where they don’t take time to educate like she does. I strongly recommend her :)

Kimberly was courteous, friendly and professional. She listened to what I wanted and kept me involved in every step. After years of trying different salons, I think I finally found THE ONE!

i’ve been going to yvette at since september 2021, and before finding her, i jumped around different salons, never really happy with how my nails turned out. after a terrible experience at a “luxury” salon in east chula vista that left my nails thin, brittle, and bleeding, i found fiufiu on instagram. her nail art and knowledge of gel x instantly caught my eye, and i’ve been loyal to her ever since. she’s not just my nail tech, she’s become a friend. she always gets my vision, stays up on the latest trends, and even orders things when i want to try something new. i’m so grateful for her 🤍

Jenni was wonderful. I just had my first visit yesterday. My skin needed help but I didn’t know exactly what. Jenni recommended 2 services including a light peel. It felt wonderful during and after and even today, my skin is radiant (and that word would not have been used prior to appointment), smooth, comfortable. I didn’t even need to use makeup today. That was my experience, so thank you Jenni.

Every time I come to salon ardor I am always satisfied and leave very happy with the way my hair is done. No one better than the girls at this salon! Other salons should learn from their professionalism and ability to create a great service environment .

I had finally snapped with my last stylist to push my cut to a more edgy look. It seemed to always end up the same no matter how much I requested a change. On a whim, I googled local salons to see what options I had. I choose Seven based on reviews and I also liked the overall tone on their website. I choose William based on reviews. I waited to review my experience after I have washed and styled the cut myself. This gives me a much better idea of the cut and how it works with my blonde hair. William really did such an amazing job with my hair. He listened to my expectations and concerns.

​Roby is an absolute miracle worker! I came in with five years of dyed black hair, wanting to transition to a lighter color to hide the greys, and she nailed it. Next step: balayage! She is a literal master mixologist when it comes to color; she knows exactly how to get you the exact shade you’re looking for. I love that she actually listens and offers great advice without ever being pushy—you genuinely get what you ask for. Bonus: she gives the best, most relaxing hair wash ever. On top of being insanely talented, Roby is just the sweetest person. Couldn't recommend her more!

Lois did an amazing job with my haircut! Exactly what I wanted and she styled me with the most gorgeous beach waves!

It’s been a while since getting my hair bleached and colored, but from what I remembered, the process look a long time. When I had my appointment with Mike for a color and haircut appointment, I was blown away with the results and how quick the appointment was. Going from black hair, he was able to get my hair to the color I wanted, which was ash blonde, in a few hours (I thought it would take much longer). I am extremely happy with the results, and will definitely be returning!

I had a great experience! Gercy really took the time to listen to what i was thinking for a future gray blending appointment. I have a lot going on with my hair and she not once made me feel bad. Love my cut and style. Can’t wait for my next appointment!

It’s my first time to this Salon and Im so in love on how Kiki did my hair, like 100000/10. ❤️ I appreciate the way she explains what she will do to my hair first and tell me how much it will cost. I love how they ask you politely if you have a budget. I was shocked because other salons in san diego doesn't do that. They just start doing your hair then rip you off after without telling you the rates. Salon Ardor is a gem. Stylists here are professional and knowledgeable. They know how to take care of your hair 💯%. I can’t wait til my next appt. With Kiki. 💓

I’m a new client so this was my first haircut and color with Gercy! All I can say is I LOVE IT! I recently moved back to San Diego and finding a new hairdresser is never easy. After seeing other vibrant color Gercy did I knew she was the right one to bring my PINK to the next level.

Yuko is fantastic! I have problematic skin and have tried several esteticians in the San Diego area but her level of care, expertise, and approach is by far the best and most effective. For the first time in a long time my skin is glowing. Thank you Yuko!

I have not find a better esthetician in the whole San Diego County as Jennifer. I love her ❣️

I’ve had my hair dyed and styled many times, and this is the first place where I truly felt comfortable. The ladies here are incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. Such a great experience overall. ~ I’ve been to a lot of hair salons. This will be the one I come back to.
