HS Salon

The pricing is great and the customer service is unmatched! Thank you Charity!!!
I did a walk in and was welcomed warmly and helped quickly. Charity cut my hair, I told her I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted (except that I wanted a change) but she gave me hairstyle suggestions that would match my face. I have haircut anxiety but she was super helpful, funny, and put me at ease. She helped choose the cut and I am so happy with how it came out!

Charity was very nice and is a skilled hairstylist. Being a new customer, she and the rest of the staff made me feel comfortable and appreciated. Prices are reasonable. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a new stylist!

Second time coming back to this salon and I don’t regret it! All the girls here are extremely friendly and they listen to what you want. I was a bit nervous because I wanted auburn highlights and the last salon I went to had essentially bleached my hair and left it too long that after about 2 weeks, it pretty much looked like gray hair.
This time, they went with a toner and my hair felt so much healthier and I didn’t look like I was in a halloween costume wig. They are very professional and I felt comfortable with both of the girls that I worked with. I loved the cut of my hair as well and they made any tweaks to it that I asked for (shorter side bangs, more framing around the face, etc). Also, the shampoo/​conditioning is always so nice and relaxing. They always make sure to ask if the water temperature is to your liking.
Pricing can get a little high but I’d rather pay a little more for a hair color/​cut that I love. it also depends on what you’re looking for. I got highlights and toner, hair cut, and style for about $ 120.
They also welcome walk-​ins!

Recently moved to San Diego and I needed a trim so badly. I don’t usually trust just anyone to cut my hair. Looked at Unilocal I was in the area so I decided to give this place a try staff was very friendly. Sat in the chair got my hair trimmed while dry I have never had my hair trimmed while dry before so I took a chance. I had gaby cut my hair she did a great job she was very determined to get all my split ends which I love. The only reason I have a 3 star is because we had no conversation and I didn’t get my hair washed which is included in the $ 24 deal. Other than that I will return to this place but would like to get the full package.

Clean, no wait for a walk in. My hairdresser was really nice and did exactly what i wanted, which was cut a very little bit off. I wish she had told me that she wasnt getting all the split ends off and I would have asked her to cut a little more. But she did a great job with adding extra conditioner to treat my dry hair. great place for a quick cut!

I have been here at least eight times now, so I figured it was time for a review. I have had a different stylist every time (I’m not a very loyal customer) because I never make an appointment, I have never been unhappy, and it’s affordable! Even when they tell me it’s going to be an hour, they always squeeze me in and I never wait more than 20 minutes. I recommend this place!

Went in to get my daughters’ hair trimmed for school pics! The staff are very nice and friendly! My daughters don’t go to salons regularly. I have trimmed their hair maybe a handful of times. I am a very picky mom when it comes to their hair and my own! We left the salon super happy and feeling pretty! Thanks to hairstylist Erika! She’s awesome and so super sweet! Thinking of coming back for a color!

Walked into the salon & was greeted right away. I had Bella cut my hair, she was so sweet & it was easy to explain how I wanted my hair cut with her. I also explained to her how much of a difficult time I was having with my frizzy hair & bangs. She recommended the keratin treatment & offered to do it on my bangs to see if I liked it & wow I loved it! I’m definitely coming back to do my whole head of hair. This feels like a life saver. I can’t wait to go back. Thanks !

Get Melissa! She’s the best, does a great job everytime. She spends so much time with me and I love that she is very friendly and attentive to what I want. She does her job very well and makes it an awesome experience. I would give 5 stars but a few times I have had scheduling problems with them, but no big deal. Plus did I mention this place is cheap, its the Beez Neez.

JOSH is now at ULTA across the parking lot! text 619−793−8717. Grand opening is first week of October. Can’t wait to see you all their.

Over priced! I have gone here several times hoping that my last experience was just a bad luck. Recently I came in for a color touch up for a chocolate brown, and they gave me hot roots! I looked like a carrot. The stylist said she could fix it and she toned it. But still looks horrible.
I was asked by another stylist at a different salon while getting a style done for an event if I did a box color on my hair. Unbelievable!

Great place to get the haircut your asking for without paying the high salon price. Paid 24 $ for a shampoo, conditioner, and cut. Ask for Marilu! She did an exceptional job!

Gone here for years, especially like Abbi. But now that Abbi has her own shop, I will go to her new shop at 4240 Kearny Mesa Rd, 92 111, suite105, unit 3. 719−651−9562.

Was looking for a salon that was decently priced, and found this awesome place. I had the opportunity of having Bella do my hair, and she did it to perfection!
My hair is really dark and I always want that gorgeous plum/​red wine color to my hair but it’s hard to get it to show that well. She was very knowledgeable and let me know whether I would need to bleach my hair or not which I didn’t want to do and she was still able to mix the right colors to get what I wanted. Simply amazing!
I’ will definitely be coming back here to see Bella! :)

Well Abbi the hair magician (see my previous reviews below) has opened up her own salon! It’s a huge loss for HS Salon. Anyway for all you Abbi fans out there, her new shop is in Sola Salons in Kearny Mesa.
After so many years of great cuts, I hope I can send her a bit of business, so here’s her new info:

It looks like a really nice new place, but I haven’t been there yet. I’ll update my review once I’ve been.

Again, the rest of the staff seem pretty awesome, but I’ll never know. Were it anyone else, my 25% tip would seem pretty darn generous. Bit this is Abbi, so she probably deserves closer to 50%. Sorry, I’m just too cheap to go that high.
Now that I have a young son, I take him to Abbi too. If any of you have ever given a constantly-​wriggling toddler a haircut, you’ll appreciate just how hard it is to avoid cutting them, let alone give them a great cut. But her patient, bubbly happy-​go-​lucky approach makes her awesome with kids.
Of course, because Abbi is a magician, as I said the first time around, my son left with a haircut that every celebrity babies would envy, or at least their moms would.
Oh yeah, she also did a super job with my wife’s highlights, achieving the natural look that my wife wanted.
My hope is that some of you read this review and entrust their hair to this legendary stylist. But not too many of you, or else she’ll become even more booked and I’ll have to wait 6 months between cuts, which would suck for me.
Previous review from 18 months ago:
Ask for Abbi!!! She is the best, sweetest, and most talented hair stylist EVER! I guess everyone else at the HS salon is cool too, but I wouldn’t know because Abbi is a hair genius. I don’t even have to pay attention to what she’s doing because it always looks so good afterwards.
She really takes her time to get every last detail right and is a lot of fun to chat with while she’s working her magic.
I can’t believe she hasn’t been snatched up by one of those $ 200/​cut La Jolla places. Easiest 5 star review I ever gave.

Update: today I had my hair cut by Bella. She gave me a cute slightly angled bob with soft layers, I love it!
Later this afternoon a stranger stopped me at a grocery store and told me how amazingly cute my haircut is, and that she wanted a bob just like mine.
That felt so good — to get such a nice compliment from a total stranger. I told that lady to go to HS Salon and see Bella!

Was so scared for anyone to do a pixie cut in fear that it wouldn’t come out like I envisioned but BELLA did my hair and I’m absolutely in love with it!!! 2^nd day with my new hair and I have no regrets! :D She asked a lot of questions on how I pictured my hair and even asked if I had any picture references. She made me feel very comfortable and eased me into the cut. Made sure this was really what I wanted. (my hair was medium length before the cut) It was kind of interesting that she asked if there was any life changing events in my life going on that made me want to go this short :) She is such a sweet girl. Loved how she styled it and gave me styling tips and suggestions on products to use since I’m new to this pixie cut life lol my hair pretty much came out EXACTLY how I wanted it!
Reception was very welcoming and attentive as well. They have wonderful staff!
I have found a salon I actually enjoy going into. I love how you can also walk around the shopping center while you wait for you turn if you’re a walk in.

I LOVE this place! I’m new to California and hate paying a lot for haircuts because I typically just get dead ends trimmed off and that’s not worth $ 50+ at a high end salon. So I decided to try this place. I first went in May (2014) and Tommie cut my hair. He did exactly what I wanted and I loved it. I went back in July or August for a trim and had another girl who did a fine job.
Then I went again this past Saturday (11÷01÷14) and had yet another girl do my hair. I wanted to go shorter and requested a «long bob» and some bangs and some framing around my face. She was WONDERFUL! I’m kicking myself for not getting her name! She started out slow and would cut then ask if I wanted more taken off. She did the same thing with my bangs in regards to their length and thickness. I love, love my hair! They definitely deserve 5 stars since I’ve had a great experience with 3 different stylists!

I Went here because I needed quick, affordable haircut. I came to Josh at this salon to fix my dead horrible hair. He have me such a clean beautiful cut, even spent a long time messaging my scalp and making sure my hair was squeaky clean. He is seriously the best. He doesn’t ask you a bunch of annoying questions or talk about nothing. He works quick and efficient! I am so happy that I went to him! 100% recommend.
