I'm recently retired and living part time in LaJolla. I visited Alex's Salon yesterday for the first time and received a haircut from Alex. The haircut I received may be the best haircut I've ever had. Not only did Alex trim my hair but he shaped my hair to accentuate my face. The man is a true artist. He recommended a product to use in my hair as well to take advantage of the cut. Will definitely wait to get another cut until I return back to LaJolla. read more

Mr Alex is a true talent and I would give 6 and plus stars review for such outstanding quality of work and class he offers. His vision of a hair salon he sure has mastered it and above. He has the best product line he recommends for the proper health needed. Alex thank you for your humble and kind nature. Esma read more

I got my extensions done here and honestly one of the best hair cuts of my life here. I love this place and would refer anyone to come here. It was so cute inside, friendly stylists, and efficient too! read more

I've been coming to Alex for a bit over a decade now and there is no one else I trust with my hair as much as him. He's very efficient and always does a beautiful job cutting, coloring, and styling my hair. He's a local favorite. DEFINITELY check him out if you want your hair done right!! read more

Oh my gosh. Five stars? That's just for places on yelp that are great. Alex's Salon deserves six stars because what he can do to someone's hair is beyond extraordinary! I went in with my old dry hair that had been destroyed by a very bad stylist it was fried frizzled. It basically looked like I had stuck my finger in a light socket, and it was just hideous. Albert Einstein's hair looked better than mine. Alex basically told me to sit back and be quiet and let him work his magic and work his magic he did. I wanted to have a certain color and not to have my hair cut and he basically just told me what I needed and when it was done, I just couldn't believe the transformation. My hair looks so silky and youthful, and somehow it looks longer than it did when I came in and he trimmed it a bit! He is worth every penny that he charges and probably a lot more. I had heard from people what a great job Alex did, but it's more than that. The word "great"does not describe it. I wish I had before and after pictures, but regardless the after pictures just show what a miracle he can do with hair. Every one of my friends gushed over my look and had to put their hands in my hair because it just looks that inviting and silky. Alex goes above and beyond to make you look your best---like I said---he deserves six stars not just five. read more

Terrible highlight experience- took 45 minutes minutes to get a partial highlight and a blowout- just to look like I have tiger stripes in my hair. The lady blow dryed my hair with the highlights in the speed up the process. Alex didn't do my hair but he was extremely rude as well. Don't come here and waste your money, will be needing to do my hair again. read more

Recently moved to California and was looking for a good haircut. I visited Alex's Salon yesterday and I was very impressed. I arrived a little earlier than my schedule and Alex started to cut me right away. The way he cut my hair was quick and precise. I can tell that he's been cutting hair for along time. I swear he cut, washed, and styled my hair in 15 minutes. It was fast and turned out awesome. I'll definitely be coming back to see Alex soon. Thanks read more

I've been going to Alex's salon for about 5 years now, and I can honestly say it's the best decision I've made for my hair. After trying out so many other salons in the past that left me disappointed and my hair in worse shape, I finally found Alex, and I haven't looked back since. Alex has a real talent for understanding what his clients want, and he's always consistent in delivering exactly what I'm looking for. My hair has never looked healthier or felt better. His cuts are precise and flattering, and his blowouts are just perfection my hair always feels like it's red-carpet ready when I leave the salon! The atmosphere at the salon is also wonderful; it's warm, welcoming, and professional. If you're tired of leaving salons feeling disappointed, give Alex a try. He's truly a hidden gem, and I can't recommend him enough! I also absolutely love coming here for my eyebrows! The lady who does them is simply amazing she's incredibly kind and makes you feel right at home. Every time, she takes her time to ensure they are perfectly even and just the way I like them. I always leave feeling more confident and knowing my brows look flawless. read more

Alex is a master at his craft! After trying various salons (about 5) I decided to give him a try. He is incredible. Being a former stylist myself, my expectations are very high and he did not disappoint. I was in La Jolla for the weekend from Phoenix, and I will probably be driving 5 hours to get my haircut because he's that amazing! Xoxo read more

I'm a hairdresser myself, for 32 years & verrrry picky I needed to get my own hair trimmed and read yelp reviews to choose someone I would be comfortable to trim my hair. I went to Alex and found he is very good and highly recommend him. He has a very unique and different approach to doing Hair and he's very quick at what he does but he was great at listening to my concerns when I wanted him to fine-tune my haircut a little more to my own personal standards as a hairdresser,. He was very patient and a great listener and didn't have an ego at all with me being very detail oriented about exactly how I wanted my haircut. He gave a great blowout to my hair and used a product that I have since bought for myself because it made my hair feel amazing. For the services that I don't do, like Brazilian blowout, I have been referring clients to him to get that service done if they want, with him. He's a very nice person and has lots of experience... Thank you, Alex! read more

I was visiting La Jolla on vacation when I had a hair emergency on a Sunday morning. I was fortunate to reach out to Alex who quickly agreed to meet me at his salon. He was so warm, welcoming, and reassuring, telling me that everything would be fine. And thanks to his skill at his craft, it was! He is clearly passionate about his work and is a wonderful human being as well. I am so grateful for his expertise and kindness. Thank you Alex! read more

My forth maybe fifth cut from Alex. He is truly the best and so quick. I made the drive from Orange County to come back to La Jolla just to eee Alex ! read more

I would give Alex's Salon 5 stars for quality work. The young lady hair stylist, is lovely and very talented. But I am baffled as to why I was charged $40 twice for a wash/cut/dry, then next time the owner instructed her to charge $80 for the same thing then two months later $95. The hair cut took about 20 minutes and my hair is short. The website states wash/cut/dry is $85. $95 is just too expensive for a simple cut. Sadly I won't be going back. read more

The salon and Alex salon vibe is very nostalgic. There was a line and Alex attending me quickly and gave me the trim I was looking for. Such a gem of place... highly recommended. read more

Alex feels like a friend, from the moment you walk up you can hear a stream fountain greeted with a warm kind smile and hard worker who really puts his time and heart into it. You can see that Alex loves people and what he does, I have never been able to find such good highlights and kindness at any other salon.​ I appreciate finding this gem of a salon and grateful he can fix anything and you walk out feeling better with a smile on your face. It was worth far more than what he charged me. He is a true hair artist! Thankyou!! God Bless read more

RUDE. ARROGANT. UNPROFESSIONAL. Alex seemed to be high on drugs. Kept swinging the sharp scissors across my face. Dropped it a few times and nearly cut me twice. He was visibly altered. When I asked him to slow down, he said 'nobody tells me how I should work'! The most uncomfortable haircut of my life. I should have got up and left. read more

Alex makes me feel much better about the way I look. His artistic approach put him aside from other good hairdressers. He loves what he's doing and I love the results, this is exactly win-win for me. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to try the new thing, you won't be disappointed! Lamara. August, 2023 read more

Alex is the king of color. Alex has been my stylist for many years now and over time I have seen him bring relief and joy to so, so many clients who came to him to fix what other less-talented colorists had done. I recommend Alex to anyone looking for a stylist but especially to someone with color concerns. Alex is also just a super nice guy. It is important to him that each client is looking their best and happy with his services when they leave his shop. I always feel a little better about life after a visit to Alex' Salon. read more

If you're looking for an amazing hair dresser like no other, LOOK NO FURTHER. I've been going to Alex for about a year now and he is truly exceptional! I always leave with my hair looking better than I could have even asked for and receive soo many compliments after a fresh cut. I have yet to find a hair dresser who can cut and layer my hair as good as he does. He has a fun and uplifting personality while also working effectively and efficiently. He treats all his customers with care and respect, which is such a valuable trait in a business. 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone!! read more

I bought a Groupon to get a Brazil Blowout. I got exactly what I was looking for and more. Funny thing, was I checked out the sight after I bought the Groupon and found it is a special Alex runs, for $99 Brazilian Blowout on his website. So either way you know your getting a deal and will be, trust me when I say very taken care of and in good artistic hands. I was running 5 minutes late and called to update them of my untimely arrival and was greeted with a Alex the owner stating to me, "do not rush, take your time and be safe." From there on it just got better... Alex takes his time, he talks to get to know you and will not push anything on you, that you don or want. I received my Brazilian Treatment and thought I was done as I have had in the past. Now I know in the past I was ripped off a bit, because Alex took the time to put a Brazilian Treatment Mask on my hair, after he processed the Brazilian Blowout Treatment, blow dried and flat ironed my hair. Usually in the past after the Brazilian Treatment was on my hair with the same process as mentioned above is done the stylist is done too, but with Alex. He will got he extra mile to ensure your are processed properly and all within 2 hours, which if a Brazilian Treatment is done right that is exactly how long it should take. Not 45mins like I have also had in the past. To say the least but with great emphasis on how beautiful, strong, healthy, shiny, under control (with a little added volume, to boot) due to the Brazilian System that Alex uses. I even got to take home the Pure 100% Brazilian/Keratin shampoo, conditioner and once a week deep conditioning treatment. I too made a friend with Alex. Meeting him was very nice and he is a good communicator. He again, is patient and will take his time and make sure your taken care, and that your hair is taken care of even after you leave. He will give you tips on how to keep up the Brazilian treatment and make it last 3-4months longer then the norm 12 weeks, and of course being careful of coloring as it will strip it out!! Enjoy your visit as much as I!!! read more

Do your homework - make sure the price is agreed upon before hand. Take another person with you. if you are told they don't take debit/credit cards - find out why- I was told cash or money transfer app only & was told to pay double what is on the website for a haircut. set good personal boundaries to not get hurt in somebody else's chair- scalp dug into- forcibly pulled back in chair four times when sitting up or moving- even when not having hair cut or while hairdresser walking away & turned back to retrain/instruct not to move in chair. maybe you like the sensation of having somebody hit you with a hairdryer cord despite asking to please stop/ to be more gentle. if you don't like the service you're getting- then get up and walk out. Don't put up with it. Y cuz Alex was barbaric. read more
