ManeTain Salon

If you are looking for quality and style, this is the place. I love the way I am treated and adore the way I look.

Great energy in this salon, as everyone is so upbeat and friendly. Catherine has been doing my hair for the past three years and never misses a beat. I love the way she not only educates me on the best products and techniques, but also offers styling suggestions, as well. To this day, I have not met someone who can do a better blow-​out, but also does it in about a third of the time.
Convenient parking and location are a big plus, as well.

Chelsea-​All I can say is that Chelsea is absolutely amazing. She is an expert mixologist when it comes to coloring. She extremely attentive and takes her practice seriously. I always look forward to our visits.
Try her out, you will not be disappointed.

I recently have been coming to this salon but I knew Elaine from a long time ago at a salon she previously owned. I could not be happier to have found her again! She is a creative hair designer who listens to her clients and also knows what they need. I’m thrilled that she is considering the health of my hair but is also providing gorgeous color and products that help my style come alive. Elaine is a true professional with a rich history in the art of hair. She is direct with her opinions and will be honest with what you need to have the best hair possible. I enjoy every minute with Elaine!

Catherine Tain has been doing my hair for 25 years.
She’s amazing, her hair color choices for me now, have had to incorporate dolling up my blonde hair and oh my god yes just a wee bit of gray.
Catherine cuts that flatter my cheekbones and my fullface.
Catherine or one of the other stylists, has made themselves available on a moments notice when I’ve had a hair emergency. They are all very experienced and know that we all have to have our hair be a certain way.
I love ManeTain salon and I enjoy the great hospitality here. Most of my friends go to Catherine or someone in her salon. This salon is easy to find right off Jimmy Durante, just south of the track by just a few feet.
ManeTain has a terrific parking lot behind the building and the wide open windows give lots of natural light. And for those of you know, without natural light your hair color doesn’t come out properly.
The salon is actually open seven days a week for private clients and probably six days a week for everyone else. You could become a private client by just making a request. The salon manager is efficient and friendly on the phone and will have your hairdresser call you if needed.
They have great products and have the Redken line and some other assorted boutique items. They offer you coffee tea and some time some other beverages. There are snacks healthy and others.
The blow dry that Catherine does are amazing and she’s also really fast. Once you have experienced Catherine’s timeline you’ll be hooked for life because you won’t be spending your whole day with her and the few hours that you spend you’ll be able to get a color, a highlight and a cut and a blow dry and be out of here quite quickly. I love ManeTain and all the assistance and the other hairdressers.
Try them you’ll love them to!!!

Chelsea Root always does an incredible job. I’ve had her cut and color my hair and she is just immaculate, and so thorough. I can’t say enough good things about her. I’ve had other hair dressers compliment me on my hair coloring from her. People I don’t even know. So if you want to feel and look amazing def go to chelsea. I’ll never go to anyone else.

This salon is definitely as good as it gets! It was just a lovely experience from the moment I made my appointment, to walking in and then of course getting my hair cut and colored. It didn’t matter to anyone that I was using a groupon (although I’ll be back now even without one). went to Sherri and she’s had 17 years of experience and you can tell — she gave me a fantastic cut. She paid attention and was very thorough. Not only was she very professional but she was fun to talk with. I can’t remember the last time I had such a great experience at a salon — probably never. I left feeling very pampered: Sheri took her time to make my hair look healthy and beautiful and between getting me to iced teas, a lovely snack and lots of great fashion ideas (there’s a cute boutique she’s starting) along with great and genuine front staff customer service, I didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend both sherri and the salon!

I always walk out of the salon feeling great because my hair looks so good. I love Catharine, her staff is terrific and I look forward to my monthly visits. I MAINTAIN that Catherine and ManeTain salon are the best!

Cute place with good hospitality but worst hair coloring I’ve ever had! I get regular blonde highlights and just moved to the area so I took a chance trying out a new place. Taylor made my hair blotchy and streaky. I asked her to fix it and she said «it doesn’t look bad when you part it like this». I will never return and have spread word about my awful experience here.

Ask for angie! she is awesome with color, cuts, and blow-​outs. I am thrilled with my hair!

Lourdes is awesome. I have been doing it myself for years and just moved here last year. She listened to what I wanted, made gentle suggestions and in the end I got a great haircut. Even receive comments on my hair now!
I am a convert to Lourdes and Manetain. A great salon, hospitable, relaxing and I love the animal park next door, where the birds are always singing!

I had a coupon here for deep conditioning and blow out and I was SOO happy with the results.
I had such an easy time setting up an appointment and Emily was my stylist. The deep condition smelled and felt so good. Emily was so personable and really made me feel comfortable. There are snacks and drinks available too which is very nice.
Emily not only remembered what I said to her on the phone when I made the appointment but also listened to what I wanted when I actually there. She gave me the BEST blowout! It lasted for all 3 days of celebrating my birthday! From Pacific Beach to Downtown SD to Vegas! THANK YOU EMILY!!!
I also got a bit of my makeup done by Brittany which I was totally satisfied with. The place is very easy to get to and there is easy parking. I will definitely be back!

I have been coming to Chelsea Root for haircuts and styling for about a year and have been very happy with the results. I also had been coloring my own hair. Chelsea put in a few highlights peiodically and used a wonderful product to make my hair shiny and bright. Eventually, though, the coloring process I was using turned my hair turning various shades of reddish orange, not to mention the sections I was missing because I couldn’t see the back of my head. (it’s impossible to color your own blonde/​brown hair and have it look natural) I desperately needed a color correction.
So I put my color correction in the hands of Chelsea. I am thrilled with the results. The whole process took two different appointments a month apart to get the reddish tint out and the beautiful blonde highlights in. Chelsea was careful to decide on the proper colors and process to achieve these results. Then she finished off with a fabulous new cut. She listened to my input as far as a haircut, but I let her go for it since she is the professional.
It has been a week and I am still getting compliments! I am so happy with the results! The way she did the color will allow for minimalmaintenanceso I can keep it up without having to spend a fortune. I definitely learned my lesson about trying to color my own hair.
The salon is great and gives off a low key comfortable, homey vibe. It is tucked away next to the racetrack in del mar. Snacks and drinks are always provided.

Mallory is the best! She has a way of knowing what you want even when you can’t find the best words or pictures to describe, and gives you EXACTLY that! She’s been doing my color, highlight, and haircut (we recently just did ombré!) for a little over a year, and is always accommodating to my schedule. So personable and upbeat, I always look forward to my next appointment time to have good conversation while getting pampered and leaving satisfied and beautiful:)

Fantastic, welcoming salon staffed by very professional people who will have you looking your best when you walk out. Have had keratin treatments, color, cut, you name it, and am always completely satisfied. A great find.
Recently, Emily treated me to a Keratin treatment, color, cut and style. All was flawless and she did a superb job. If you visit the salon, I recommend you ask for Emily.

I came to manetain for my senior prom updo after having my hair and makeup done by Katherine once before, and hearing great things about Devon. I scheduled a 4:30 with Devon and was shocked to find that she never showed up. I had never had a no show stylist before, and sank into thoughts of prom disaster.
Then Mallory, the new store manager, stepped in and immediately calmed my nerves. She made sure that I liked the style so far before she continued. Her hospitality was incomparable to any stylist I’ve met, but what’s more is that my hair and makeup looked amazing, better than I could’ve imagined.
Despite the no show, I will return to manetain and ask for Mallory every time.

I absolutely love Megan at ManeTain! I am a blonde, so it is really hard to find someone who does amazing color and a tight foil. She is the best! She does great extentions too. Highly recommend!

My family moved here in December 2011. We needed to find a new stylist for my wife and kids. I met Devon Ditmar at a networking meeting at Chevy’s. I liked her so much I sent my wife to her and my wife was delighted. She has short hair thayt she must cut often and Devon was the right choice. Go figure, a bald guy found my wife’s new stylist! My son Nico wants to look like Justin Bieber and she did an amazing job with him too! They are now regular clients of Devon!

Really nice people, great treats and beverages, very hospitable
But the keratin Coppola treatment cost more than I was quoted and the results just weren’t worth it… I have had this treatment before and it was incredible… so, I’m just saying…
PS this treatment was done a year ago and I just realized it wasn’t finished.
I recently went to Katy at Artistic hair for ½ the cost and way better results…

I love this salon! Came back here tonight for a smoothing treatment and haircut with Christy. She cut my hair dry after the treatment and spent a long time figuring out exactly what I wanted, while I drank a glass of complimentary wine and read a magazine. I was the last appointment of the day so she was able to spend extra time on me. She finished by braiding my hair, because I was curious how I could wear small braids on a daily basis.
