This whole shop was remodeled a while back and it's super nice now. I guess it's actually a whole new shop because the name changed and the owner is different. If you get a chance to check it out you should see Jeanne (Genie) she does an amazing haircut and shampoo. It's always a super relaxing time in there and my hair looks terrific afterwards. Thank you Jeanne! read more

I come regularly to get my haircut and recently just got my hair dyed! Jeannie does an amazing job always! She's my go-to!

I had Jessica for the first time-easy yo talk with and she did exactly what I needed. I'll go back !!

I usually dislike going to get my hair done because of the awkward small talk, etc but Erica was super nice and made me feel comfortable (found her via Style Seat). The salon has a great aesthetic and is super cute, not to mention reasonable pricing! Everything looked fine when I left but when I got home I found areas that didn't look so great (sorry girl)! It looks like the foils slipped but the color wasn't fully blended in some sections (so I have a couple harsh lines where the lighter blonde just stops before the root etc; hopefully that makes sense. I enjoyed my experience and would definitely recommend this spot but I hope Erica (or whoever checks the Yelp) can reach out to me to fix it. I've gone to a lot of salons for " blonde ombré or balayage" and always had bad luck at the end. read more

I have been with Kami for about 2 years now! Kami is the first hair stylist that I have stuck with for this long and I plan on her doing my hair forever and ever! She's good at literally everything. I'm talking about ombré, balayage, highlights, everything! I have gotten my hair done with a balayage with her and it was beautiful and I also got an ombré as well and she did really good blending everything out for me and making my hair look fabulous! If you're looking to cut your hair from long to short, kami is known to do AMAZING short cuts. I had long hair and every time I went short from a different hair stylist I was never satisfied! Kami is my first hair stylist where I let her cut my hair short and I fell in love when I saw it! I wasn't sad or anything, she made me love my short hair from the quality cut she gave me. It was perfect. She will make you look so good in short hair! I love how she takes her time and what you want with your hair, Kami will deliver it! She will give you results that you will be satisfied with. She knows what is best for her clients and she is honest! That's what makes her such a genuine hair stylist. She is a definitely a professional hair stylist that owns up to her title! You won't be disappointed with her. I have never left after my apt feeling dissatisfied. You rock Kami!! read more

What a cute salon! Definitely inspiration for a bedroom (mirrored glass dressers, crystal chandeliers, teal and white theme). Came here a few months ago and saw Victoria for a balayage, highlights and cut. She did an awesome job! Got so many compliments. Back now for more and love it! read more

This is more than just a review, IT IS A TESTIMONY of the healing hair power of Jessy @Bouffant! I've spent the majority of my 8 years in SD self mutilating my hair (see image) because other, "professionals," have been afraid of my curly mane, but not Jessy! Right off the bat she let my curls know who was boss and not to test her because she had a miracle to perform, which she did! She was quick, our convo was stellar & I didn't walk out full of sorrow or regret. With deepest gratitude, thank you Jessy! read more

It pains me to write a bad review for Bouffant. My stylist, Lynzy, worked here until very recently she relocated out of the country. I love the glitzy vibe that Bouffant has and totally loved Lynzy. I wanted to continue on with another stylist at Bouffant. I called twice, each time got an answering machine, during business hours. I left a message each time with my specifics but never received a return call. I'm not sure how you run a business with this type of non-customer service. Extremely disappointed! read more

Moving to San Diego from the east coast I had a hard time finding someone who could deal with my hair. I'm mixed so my hair is really curly and somewhat fine. Most black owned salons put too much product in my hair which leaves my hair greasy and weighed down and most white owned salons don't use anything which leaves it frizzy and fluffy. I stumbled across a gem with Ally. She uses the right products to get my hair straight with just a blowout and it's not greasy. If you have curly crazy hair I recommend Ally. She's also really good at color. My hair is really dark and I did an ombré on my ends and wanted a change after almost a year. I showed her a picture of a really pretty brown with some highlights and she made it looks beautiful. If you are curly or some some fancy color go to Ally! The general atmosphere is so lively and bright. It looks upscale and I'm rather fond of the jar of mini chocolates. They have water and coffee to go with those chocolates. Sometimes parking is rough because of the bar next door but I haven't really had problems finding a place. read more

Rosi at bouffant's is the best manicurist around. She makes my nails look natural and doesn't over use the nail drill like most places. She hand files your nails so your nails stay healthy. If your looking for a top notch professional manicurist Rosi at bouffant's is the person you want!! P.s. I never give reviews for anything, in fact this is my first review. Thanks how much I love the job Rosi does. I highly recommend Rosi !! read more

I followed Cassie B from her previous salon and was a little skeptical because I really liked her last salon a lot! However, after coming to Bouffant multiple times now it's really grown on me - and I like it more! The decor is unique, intimate, warm, inviting and the open floor with booths in just the right spots makes the salon look larger! As far as Cassie B - she is the best! She's done my hair for years and when I scrolled down and I didn't see her name in the last few reviews I knew I had to sit her and give my girl Cassie some props! She really listens to who you are and what would work best for you.... if you're conservative she will hear you and go that route, or if you want crazy blond chunky streaks for 6 months like I did she will do that as well. Two of my other friends trust her color and cut skills and honestly, I've let Cassie do more to my hair than anyone in my life so that's a big deal! I will follow Cassie to whatever salon Cassie goes to but in the meantime I travel a half hour to get to where she is and I don't mind a bit! :) read more

Katlyn is amazing! Everytime she does my hair I am blown away - she has the best ideas! She is so creative and fun and really listens to what I'm wanting and needing. She is constantly learning and telling me about new trends and techniques! Book an appointment with Katlyn, you will not be disappointed! read more

I chased Kami here from another salon for my first appointment. She was voted #3 stylist of 2015 on SD best. I've waited 2 years to cut and color my hair for 2 years because I told my late mother in law I would donate it. When the time came I searched through Yelp, Google reviews and Facebook to try and find the perfect stylist and I was pleased to find Kami! No bleach whatsoever on my very black hair yet she made the red shine through! Definitely will be coming back. read more

I love this place. I followed Sharon Barnett (LOVE HER!) from her last salon, which was really nice, but this one just feels posh, relaxing, and so welcoming when you walk in, from the fashionable seating in the front area to the chandeliers lighting the main floor, and the warm color of the walls. I've been offered everything from water to a glass of wine(!) and chocolate, and the folks working there are friendly and welcoming, and street parking is easy. Of course, that's all moot if you don't look great at the end, and I always leave feeling fresh, pretty, and sassy with my new hair thanks to Sharon's genius. It's not super-cheap, but if that were my priority, I'd go to Super Cuts. My hair is challenging, and I feel better putting myself in the care of a master technician. These folks take a minute to consult with each other on color mixing and texture like your head is an exciting art project that MUST be shared and enjoyed, so you get the benefit of ALL the experience. Time and money well-spent. read more

Kami is the best hair stylist, we were recommended to her by 3 of our other friends who had varying types of hair and cut styles, all of which looked awesome. We love our hair cuts and the company while getting them done. We're on her schedule and staying on it! read more

I am so happy to have found Bouffant! Amelia does a great job on my hair! My hair is naturally wavy and she cuts it in a way that looks great straight or curly. Also, my highlights grow out so nicely! At my last visit I had purple streaks put in. I've never had so many compliments on my hair! It looks rad!!! read more

Bouffant Beauty Bar - Purple! I know. It is not for everyone, but I'm loving it! - Hair Salons Near Me - La Mesa, California

Lynzy Gowing is the best. I followed her here from her last salon, and she has styled my hair for 5+ years. I can't count the number of people I have sent to her. She knows exactly what cut and color will look good on you, and recommends accordingly. She's fun, fabulous, and truly enjoys the process of giving someone a great style. I've gone from brown with highlights, to red, mostly blond, to dark brown, and now dark brown with carmel balayage all from Lynzy's handiwork. I love Julie, the owner, and this girl knows how to hire talented stylists. Lynzy is just one of the many you could see here. I also love Amelia and how she works with vibrant colors for her clients. The decor is great, and the shop is always clean! They offer tea and coffee and water, and they have a great waiting area at the front. Highly recommend. :) read more

This place is so cute! But the only reason I will drive to this place is for the amazing hairstylist Kammy! She is A PRO! She's funny, sweet, and especially great at hair styling! She will do any hair cut for you and makes sure she does it perfect. She also dyes hair really well. KAMMY is your go to girl! Also, she corrects any mess another hairstylist did to your hair! I had my hair cut horribly and she fixed it! Love this woman. read more

I love the salon, it's always so clean and decorated beautifully. Everyone there is so friendly. Thanks to Kami, My hair is always Poppin' "Hair Slayer" should be her new name because she kills it every time! #yass read more

Natalie and Ally are superstars-- they got all my girls ready for my wedding in an efficient manner and we all looked freakishly beautiful, if I do say so myself. I even added on an additional three people for hair and/or makeup and they handled it like champs. We were all done with time to spare, which is impressive. Both girls are professional, friendly and fun. Specifically, Natalie did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos and my wedding, and I can't tell you how many compliments I received on both. I truly enjoyed spending time with Natalie and Ally before the wedding, and I think that says a lot about them as a pairing. I would recommend them to anyone looking for hair/makeup for a special occasion. read more

If you are looking for an exceptional pair to do your wedding makeup and hair, Natalie & Ally are your girls! They both were not only talented, professional and exceptionally attentive, but they were also so much fun while we were getting ready for my big day! Ally was able to impeccably recreate all of the different hairstyles that the ladies in my bridal party wanted to have done based off of online photos they showed her right beforehand, and Natalie did such a beautiful job on their makeup as well. Everyone looked and felt drop dead gorgeous!! As the bride, Natalie did both my makeup and hair, and she truly exceeded my expectations. If you book her, I CANNOT stress this enough - DO THE MOCK HAIR & MAKEUP TRIAL WITH HER!!! I almost made the mistake of not completing one, but words cannot express how thankful I am that I did. I initially thought I wanted to wear my hair down, so that's what we did for my trial. I also did a final fitting of my wedding dress that same day to see how it all looked together. After looking at photos, it became clear that my hair would look much better in an up-do style instead. I would have been devastated if I hadn't made that realization beforehand and there was no way to know without testing it out with Natalie first! Plus, it allowed me to relax on the day of my wedding and more importantly, thoroughly enjoy the experience of getting ready with all my girls! We all received tons of compliments and looked flawless for our photos, and none of us had to ever touch up our hair or makeup once for the entire event. Additionally, Natalie also does a phenomenal job with cutting/trimming hair! I've been going to her for a year and a half, and I've never been disappointed. She always puts her clients first and genuinely cares. She humbly does brilliant work, and my hair has never looked better! read more

I was recommended to this salon because of Amelia and I love her!! She always is so professional but also really fun and easy to talk to. I love that she works with confidence and knows exactly what shes talking about. I know she is so talented with color, but her cuts and styling are the amazing too! Thank you Amelia for always making me look and feel my best! I know I'm in great hands when I come to Bouffant! :] read more

I joined Yelp specifically to write a review of this salon. Normally I dread getting my hair cut and will go to the no wait salons. My husband and I drove past Bouffant and I made him stop as the storefront and sign caught my eye. It just sounded like my type of place. I'm used to walk-ins but it was easy enough to make an appointment with the lady at the front desk for later the same day. My appointment was with Victoria and she is a superstar artist! I'm not one for chit chat so I used to hate getting my hair cut for that very reason but it felt natural talking to her! She listened to exactly what I wanted my hair to look like and I'm very pleased. Finally found my permanent stylist!! read more

So I've been looking for a new stylist for quite a while. I love this place! Everyone is down to earth and makes you feel so very welcome. Erica had the task of cutting my long locks into something shorter and more suitable for an over 40 woman.
