Sweis Inc

Store is For professionals with active California Cosmetology license. You can get some great brands like Moroccan Oil, Keune, Keratin Complex, Evo, Color Proof, Babe, and Neuma. They are very helpful and can also help you with any questions about who reps are in your area.
Lots of education, always posted in the front to the right once you enter the door.
But sadly not open on Saturday or Sunday

Im still a fan but I wish they had weekend hours or were open a little later… sometimes it’s hard to make it there during their store hours… even if they were open half day saturday that would help!

I have been debating writing a review, and after discussing it with my client who was extremely effected by this situation I decided I needed to so other cosmos didn’t have the issues my client and I went through. Overall, the store is organized, well stocked and have a wide variety of great product lines. My issue is with their Babe Extension line. I took my client/​friend to Sweis with me to color match her hair and we purchased 4 packs of tape-​in extensions at full price ($ ⁷⁵⁄₁₀ pieces, roughly $ 300+tax) in the color «Caroline», which is a mixture of blonde and a light brown. After washing them twice, the brown faded to PINK. I called the store, and they said they were aware this was happening so they said to bring the hair back and they would exchange it for a different color/​mix. So I took them out of my clients hair (which cost her $ of course, about after only 2 weeks of having them in). We get to the store, and I see they WERE STILL SELLING THIS DEFECTIVE COLOR. They were not pulled off the shelf. They didn’t have another color mix that even came remotely close, so we ended up exchanging them for 2 packs of the same blonde, and 2 packs of the same brown so I could mix them together to make my own «Caroline» blend. The sales girl assured me it was ONLY the“CAROLINE” that were defective. I did not have the receipt, but she said it was an even exchange after looking it up in their system. After approximately 2 – 3 washes, the brown AGAIN turned PINK. (Just to rule out the shampoo causing it to fade to this disgusting shade of pink, she only uses sulfate/​parabin free shampoo specifically for hair extensions). I called Sweis and told them what happened without disclosing who I was, and asked, «which color was it that was defective again?» And her response floored me… she said it was ONLY THE «BRIDGET» COLOR that was having issues, and that they pulled it from the shelves until Babe remedied the problem. She said she would gladly exchange them for a different color since «BRIDGET“was the only color people were having issues with. At this point I had her look up my account and requested a FULL REFUND because obviously it’s not just 1 color that was defective. She said they don’t do refunds but would exchange for store credit. …oh no no no… that was unacceptable. She referred me to Sweis Corporate to get approval, however, they lost my original receipt in their system showing I paid FULL PRICE, so all they would do is refund the current SALES PRICE at $ 68/​pack. So not only is my client out all the $ it cost her in labor, she then gets shorted $ 28+tax on the hair. We decide we are NOT going to risk it turning pink again, and go into the store to do the refund, and what do ya know… ALL BABE HAIR IS STILL FULLY STOCKED, ON THE SHELVES AND NONE OF THE DEFECTIVE COLORS WERE PULLED. I was blown away. They are fully aware they are selling defective EXPENSIVE hair to people. So if you are thinking about going with Babe for extensions, you might want to wait a few months until they can get their manufacturing issues squared away, and since Sweis is the only physical location to buy Babe Extensions, you might want to call and ask if the situation has been fully remedied and hope you get an honest answer. Like I said previously though, everything else in the store is awesome, just be cautious about their Babe Extensions.

I arrive there at opening time, which is 830 to find the products that I am looking for. Now I know 830 might be absolutely unheard of as a time to be up and doing things but it’s really not people. Sufic it to say that the opening girl was as rude as they could possibly come. There is no need to roll your eyes when I ask you if you have a product and then shuffle along with your coffee in your hand and point at it as a way of you helping. Then huff and roll your eyes when I tell you I’m a new customer and now there is forms and information you have to get from me. Let’s just say I left without the products I needed to find them else where and a facility where they appreciate business anytime of day. PEOPLE GET A NEW OPENING GIRL!!!

Finally tracked down a beauty supply store that sells Moroccan Oil. I get there only to be informed that they only sell to cosmetologist with a CA license. I AM licensed, just not in this state. That has NEVER been a problem at ANY beauty supply store I have shopped at in over 6 years of being a cosmetologist. I’m a military wife who moves frequently and this policy is completely unfair. This policy needs to change, folks.

Their return policy is terrible. I purchased a straightener. I used it 1 time and was not impressed with it. Then I found out their sales on electronics are final. I will not
Go back there.

I am a licensed Esthetician and I really enjoy coming to this store to buy all of my supplies, plus some goodies for my personal use :)
All of the staff has always been really friendly and helpful. Their selection is good, although they don’t have as many of the «big name» brands.
After a great recommendation from one of the girls, I’ve found my favorite new hair care, Color Proof. Even better than pureology and less expensive!

Discounted Moroccan Oil?!! YESSS PLEASEEEE!
There are a few «professionals only» supply stores around San Diego, but Sweis is the ONLY one that carries Moroccan Oil! Yes, the blue logo Moroccan Oil brand that started the whole craze.
This place is a bit hidden, but it’s located right next to Ortho Mattress. The employees were really friendly, and helped me picked out my supplies.

First off-​this place is professionals only, meaning you need a beauty industry license to shop here.
I love it here. I’ve been shopping online with Sweis for my Moroccan oil and was so excited to learn they have a physical location in San Diego.
The store is clean, well organized and fully stocked. Kayla and Holly were incredibly nice and friendly plus I got a nice little gift for checking in!
They carry a nice array of brands (Moroccan oil, Hempz, Essie, OPI to name a few) and the location is super convenient.
Thanks guys for opening up a shop in San Diego!

Love this store! Products are great and the service is awesome! Everyone on staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about their products.

The best spot to get what I need in the salon! Kayla and the other employees are so helpful!

I love this store and the employees in it are so very helpful. Kayla is awesome! They have also built a team of great Sales Reps in the field. I recently switched all my products to products sold through this distributor because of the classes I was offered by Ashley Harlow. No other distributor in San Diego has Sales Reps in the field and as a salon owner I am tired to going to the store on my day off to buy product. I can know place one order through Ashley and have it sent to my salon. This free’s up lots of my time on my days off and that makes me very happy. If I have to go to the store I am always greeted with a smile and lots of help.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this store It is by far the best professional beauty supply in San Diego!!! Defiantly the friendliest I’ve ever been in and as a stylist since 1979, I think that says a lot! Always clean and stocked, with smiles on their faces eager to help you with anything, even put a smile on your facePlease go check them out, they won’t disappoint youkeeping it beautiful

Kayla Is The Best! Very helpful with incredible service and product knowledge.

LOVE THIS STORE AND EMPLOYEES! They are so helpful and know just what to recommend for comparable products if you’re looking to switch lines. They have top quality product and color lines, and have something for everybody in their store. Great skin products as well. Every time I go into Sweis I leave feeling happy and satisfied.

I love this store! The staff is very helpfull, the store has a large stock and luxurious feel.

I just recently visited this store for the first time and i really like it! It’s a little hard to find but now that i know where it is, it’s no problem.
Small store, cute and very organized! They carry Moroccan oil which is awesome!
The girl helping me was so nice and friendly.
Also, i love that they have products i have not heard of, i am excited to go back and become familiar with more of their stuff!

As a business owner i understand that starting up is a learning curve and though the staff is a little inexperienced they are very considerate and definitely helpful. As a hairdresser there are certain products that can only be purchased at certain distributors. Sweis is a smaller distributor and they have managed to snag morrocan oil and color proof two of the finest lines in our industry. I am a big supporter of fairness in Unilocaling and I feel that since this type of business is only open to professionals, that the reviews should speak to what those in our industry need in a distributor. Support, education and quality professional lines. My business is always appreciated and that is just the bonus.

Sweis Inc is a beauty supply who sells to professional licenced persons in the beauty industry. This store just recently opened and it shows, the staff seems inexperienced and has very little professionalism.
I would rather shop at a large corporate owned company than shop at this store again.
