Gallery West Salon

The owner, Raul, has been cutting my hair for 15 years. He does excellent work, and also cuts my sons hair. He is efficient, and creative. The new salon is awesome! It is clean, and the environment is peaceful and inviting. I love that Raul is ALWAYS on time, and that he only works on one client at a time. I have never, ever had to wait. He is ready and waiting when we show up. Highly recommend the salon and the stylists!

Love Gallery West Salon! Martha has been my stylist for many years and I have literally always love her work. She has amazing talent, runs on time, and makes herself available. Thank you, Martha and Raul for the beautiful salon experience!

Gallery West is physically stunning with a tranquil Zen feel! I started going there because Raul is a great stylist, but I also love this salon! It is so conveniently located with lots of great shops and restaurants nearby!

Awesome new salon in the heart of Hillcrest. I’ve had long hair my entire life! I finally decided it was time to give an a-​line cut a try. A friend recommended Melissa. She was amazing! My cut is perfect and exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be going back.

I absolutely love this place! Gallery West has a chic, yet charming vibe. The owner, Raul, has been cutting my hair for years because, frankly, he is the BEST! I leave the salon feeling relaxed and fabulous! Gallery West is right off the 163 so it’s a convenient location from anywhere in San Diego County. The two-​hour free parking validation gives you some time to shop or grab a bite while in the area. After all, you’ll need to show off your sassy new ‘do!

This is such a great Salon. It’s very open, clean and modern feeling. Its right in the thick of it in Hillcrest, so parking would be a problem, but they validate parking, and the garage is RIGHT there. With all the options around, it’s easy to grab a bite and then a cut. Melissa is a stylist there that does my and most of my friends hair, she’s excellent. Everyone is super friendly and the atmosphere is very calming, not cluttered and loud. I am in love with the lights in the hair washing area, very dreamy.

Raul is a fabulous hair stylist! He is perfect working with my color and knows just what to do for a great style to cut my hair best for my face. I highly recommend Gallery West and Raul — you can’t go wrong!

WOW is all I can say about the new GALLERY WEST salon in Hillcrest. The salon is clean and chic with a high end vibe but approachable, relaxing friendly atmosphere. Raul has been doing my hair since 2002 and I will follow him anywhere! He is top notch and a wonderful person as well. Most of my girlfriends have converted to him as well if that says anything :)

This is a beautiful hair salon with a very warm staff. Martha did a fabulous job of coloring, highlighting and cutting my hair. I have been going to Martha for over 20 years and I have always gotten so many compliments from friends and even strangers that I have met. She is amazing and I would (and have) followed her all over San Diego. Raul is the owner and he goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. I would highly recommend this hair salon to everyone.

Raul is without a doubt the top colorist and stylist in all of Southern Cali. His expertise with color, design, cutting, styling is simply unmatched. I have been to really good stylists who couldn’t get the color just right, and vice versa, both in San Diego and in Palm Desert. Raul is not just really good, he is GREAT! My strongest endorsement, he has never let me down, never been complacent about the business or about my value as a client. His shop is chic, comfortable and he makes his client’s comfort and satisfaction his top priority. I have and will continue to refer people to Raul. If you want the best, look no further. Raul is your man, this shop is your place. BTW, they validate parking. What more can you ask for?

Martha, at Gallery West Salon, has been cutting and coloring my hair for 6 yrs now. She’s great! This is the third and best location I have followed her. Easy access from 163 South, validated parking, friendly staff, great background music and beautiful Zen salon.

I have found home! Gallery West is the perfect salon for everything you are looking for. The salon itself is gorgeous warm and friendly. The stylist are amazing and knowledgeable. True professionals. The product line is top notch. I have been working with Raul for over 20 years and honestly I would fly anywhere to see him. He has truly knocked it out of the park at Gallery West.

Gallery West is a professional hair salon with friendly people. It’s modern and very comfortable. Every time I go, I leave very satisfied with my hair style. Love this place and the people.

I recently got my hair cut and colored at this absolutely beautiful salon. The stations are clean, well organized, and beautiful. The atmosphere is modern and serene. The service was great, the location was easy to find and had a two hour free parking underground. Raul is incredible!!!

An incredibly professional salon, modern, and artistic! In such a bustling community it’s sure to be a creative environment! Gallery West also carries the latest PROFIBER by Loreal which makes your hair feel like a fabric you can’t help but feel! If you want classy, sexy, stylish hair THIS is the salon to be at!

I’ve known Raul since 2003 and he’s the best hair stylist I’ve ever had. He’s been making me happy and looking great for more than 12 yrs. He’s my brother from another mother and I am so happy he has his very own salon after working in others for almost 25 yrs. Congrats sweetie and may you be very happy and successful.

Getting this beautiful day started! Love how open it feels in here especially with all these windows and natural light!
