Best Hair Salons near me in San Diego, United States

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!

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. 🖤

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 recently visited Kreative Manes Hair Salon and had an absolutely wonderful experience. I really enjoyed the massaging chair used during the hair washing, it was incredibly soothing and added a luxurious touch to the experience. My stylist was fantastic. He listened carefully to what I wanted and took his time to ensure every detail was perfect. His attention to detail was impressive, and I left the salon feeling very happy with my haircut. The best part is that the price was very reasonable for the quality. This was my second visit to the salon and I will definitely be back.

I recently had the best experience getting my hair colored and cut, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Steven took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. The color came out vibrant, rich, and beautifully blended—no harsh lines or uneven tones. The haircut was precise. Very happy with the Service.

I found my new hair stylist! David cuts hair so fast and just how I like it. Showed him a photo of what I wanted and he did exactly that but better. If you want full voluminous hair (women’s haircut) go to David. You won’t be disappointed.

Some places don’t need perfect communication to get it right. My stylist was patient, observant, and genuinely accommodating despite the language barrier. He clearly cared about his work and did his absolute best to deliver what I wanted. No rush, no attitude—just solid craft and real effort. I walked out with a clean, well-done haircut that feels right. Very happy with the result. I’ll be back. 有些地方，不需要太多语言，也能把事情做到位。 虽然有沟通上的小障碍，但我的造型师非常有耐心，也很用心，尽力理解我想要的发型。他认真、细心，能看得出他很在乎自己的手艺。 我很喜欢这次的剪发成果，干净又好看。 一定会再来。

Saved me from spending my holiday with grays after my regular stylist got sick. Hair color came out great. Thanks!

Nikki did a great job recreating a haircut I showed her a video of. Decent English communication, good price ($50 for a men's wash & haircut), and dope chillstep music in the background! 🎧 I made the appointment through Fresha with a different stylist, and had to wait about 15 minutes past, but in the end everything turned out great. My hair tends to grow out on the sides, I explained this to Nikki, and she did a great job compensating for it.

The experience was amazing. I always go to Erika for my haircut and coloring. She was able to give me my usual layered cuts and helped me tone out my hair to be all one color and very ashy. So satisfied with my result!

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.

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.

I am in San Diego for the summer. I cut my hair in Hawaii before I got here, unfortunately it was not a good cut. So I need help reshaping my hair. I made my apt online with stylist Cheng. He was a very pleasant and professional. Cheng did a great job of restyling my hair. Thank you and I will definitely be back.

This was my first head spa experience, and what a special treat! From the moment I walked in I was greeted with smiles and the soothing scent of relaxation. Ariel helped me relax and prepared me for what to expect, she’s so knowledgeable and made me feel so pampered! So if you’re looking for a premier head spa in San Diego, take the trip to Vista and prepare to have a fresh clean scalp!

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

I had such a great experience with Maritza! She’s pleasant, really listens, and is so skilled. I got a haircut and highlights, and I absolutely love the results—flattering cut and gorgeous color. She made the whole experience enjoyable, and I left feeling amazing. If you’re looking for a stylist who truly cares and delivers beautiful results, I highly recommend her!

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!

Nora is absolutely amazing and accommodating. I came in for just a haircut, and we last min decided to tone my hair since it was getting too brassy. She fed me, let me use her charger and catch up on my Netflix. I have found my forever stylist in her!!

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!

Gercy is incredible!! I LOVE my haircut! I have been going to her for a long time, and she always does such an amazing job on my hair cut & color. Thank you so much!!

I look forward to my appointments with Walter. His knowledge of hair care, color and cutting exceeds any stylist I’ve used. I get compliments on my hair all the time. Not to mention Walter is a pleasure to spend time with!

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.

The best haircut I’ve ever received + sweetest stylist everrrrr <3 will be coming back!

Cole is amazing! My haircut and color are perfect!

Walter is great!!! I have seen Walter for 25 years! He’s the best hair stylist around. The color that Walter puts in my hair is superb! People always think that I am 10 years younger after Walter colors my hair! A very nice man, with good heart, too!
