I have had my hair cut by some of the best in Detroit, Chicago and Tampa. I have also had lousy haircuts...I know the difference between the two! That being said... I absolutely recommend *LESLEY* and would say she fits the first sentence ( PRO), she is great at listening and knows hair well. I have thick/dry/wavy/colored/shorter hair and she somehow made it look smother and longer (after cutting it!) Book an appointment! read more

I just moved to San Diego in June and was not looking forward to finding a new hair stylist. I have always found it difficult to find someone that gets my hair color right. So I was super happy when I visited Ashley and she totally understand what I wanted done with my hair on the first try. I have got a ton of compliments from my friends on my hair color. I had gone several shades lighter then normal so I was a bit worried how it would turn out. I am getting ready to make another visit this week and my hair lasted well between visits. She did a great job of adding highlights while blending with my natural color that it has grown out well since my last visit. Ashley has gained a loyal customer with me and I totally recommend her if you need someone to color your hair. My hair cut was great as well but I didn't do anything drastic there. Plus her salon is super cute and comfortable which is an added bonus. read more

I moved to North County and discovered Vixen Beauty Lounge upon looking for a hair stylist knowledgeable with curly hair. Ashley and I hit it off right away. Not only is she talented with curly hair and color, she is kind, sweet, fun, and personable. I've been a client for several years now and I've had the pleasure of also having Lesley cut and color my hair and Jenn rocks with waxing. They make a great team. I love their product line, especially the color because it doesn't trigger my allergies. I'm truly blessed to have discovered Vixen. read more

I have been going to Ashley for over 3 years now and love her! I have strangers complimenting my hair color and how shiny it is. She's amazing at cutting bangs if you want to take the plunge. She always takes the time to style my hair beautifully even if I tell her I'm only going straight home with no plans. She also followed all COVID safety measures to a T and I felt absolutely at ease when I went in for my appointment. read more

Ashley has been my stylist for over a decade! She has transformed me into a beautiful redhead, then to a stunning blonde and back again and again. She listens to what I want and works to make it work for my hair type, my skin type and my crazy lifestyle. Not only do my colors look natural, but Ashley gives a stellar haircut. I walk away looking and feeling amazing every time! I highly recommend Ashley! I have three blonde girls, two teens and a tween. One has long curly hair, one has long straight hair transitioning into wavy, and the tween has a perfect bob haircut. Lesley has been their stylist and Vixen's rising star. They highly recommend Lesley! During this Covid era we are living in, Vixen was open during that brief window that the Governor allowed stylist. This place has always been immaculate, but Ashley went above and beyond the new protocol. I not only looked amazing when I left, I felt that it was more than safe to bring in my three girls (staggered of course) to the salon to get MUCH needed haircuts. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this salon if you want to look and feel your best! read more

Where would I ever be if I hadn't found Ashley and Vixon? She is so talented and her stlying is amazing. i love referring Vixon since I KNOW my friends will be thanking me foreve! The BEST part is how beautiful I feel as I strut out of the salon!!! read more

Had my first trip in with a haircut from Lesley and the whole experience was fantastic - from the moment I walked in (they offered a beverage & snacks, and Lesley even took the time to make me a Latte), to the consultation, to the actual cut. The salon is intimate and has a great vibe - quiet, relaxing, and professional. Both ladies are super sweet and welcoming. I will be returning! read more

I went in for my consultation with Ashley regarding my color. She is very professional and very confident! I enjoyed meeting with her and happy to let her work her magic on my hair! I have an appointment towards the end of January. I am excited! A new year and a new Hairstylist! Her Beauty Lounge is adorable and very clean. read more

I had my first appointment with Lesley last week and was not disappointed. She made sure to talk to me about what I wanted and then checked in with me throughout the cut and color process to make sure all was what I wanted. Already scheduled my next appointment with her. :) read more

Thank you to Ashley for my beyond gorgeous hair!!! The experience plus my new look will definitely have me coming back!

Amazing service. Very transparent, great prices. Plus snacks, coffee and heated neck wraps to make your experience even better.

Lesley is amazing! I feel like I don't explain what I want very clearly but she always hits the nail on the head of what I want. It's a great atmosphere in the salon and I love that i get to have a cup of tea while I get my hair done. Best "treat yo self" place to go! I always walk out feeling like a model... 12/10 recommend read more

Let me start by saying Ashley is the best!!! I show her pictures of what ever I want to change including color and cut. She gets it right every time. Thank you so much Ashley. read more

Fantastic. Don't sleep on this place. My hair hasn't looked this good in years. True hair professionalism!

I've been going to Ashley five years and not once have I been disappointed. My hair consistently looks and feels healthy! Ashley uses high quality product that works for my fine curly hair. When Covid hit and Vixen closed in March Ashley offered to mail product as needed which included sample gifts to try. I really appreciated the product specials and savings she offered her clients. Once Vixen reopened if even if for a quick few weeks, I had no worries about getting my hair done with Ashley. During my appointment we were the only 2 people in the salon, we each wore a mask, and both washed our hands prior to getting started. You know she's an expert when you can get a color, cut, and blowout while wearing a mask and still walk out looking like a million bucks! Ashley goes above and beyond for her clients, she is truly amazing! I will be at Vixens door when they open for business again ... no matter the wait! read more

I am really picky about my hair. I would rather have PMS than a bad hair day! I have been wanting to make a change in my hair style for some time. Thankfully, I found Ashley at Vixen Beauty. She has a real talent for razor style cuts. If you want the look of a great razor cut and healthy hair, give Ashley a call. Eslene read more

Okay I am shocked that I haven't already written a review for Vixen and Ashley! I guess I forgot since I'm always chirping to people about my amazing stylist. So, overdue, I admit it... I've been coming to Vixen for a year now, after moving to Solana Beach, I took to Yelp! to find a local salon with good feedback. I called and was able to get in the same day and was thrilled. I loved my hair and stylist, Ashley scheduled my appointment and let me know that I'd receive 20% off my first visit, I was excited about this since I was having a cut, color and Keratin treatment. Ashley wasn't my stylist on this visit, but when I called back a few months later, Josh, my original stylist was no longer at the salon. Ashley assisted with the appointment again and this time, she was my stylist. I'll admit, I love getting my hair done, I mean who doesn't!? I have had amazing stylists over the past 25 years and I am so happy that I found Ashley! I am a sucker for a convenient location and esthetics mean a lot to me as well. The salon is clean and cute and I've seen the style and decor evolve over the year and it's really coming together! One of the best things about Ashley and what I've seen/overheard from other stylists is honesty. if you request something that just won't look good on you, she'll give you her candid opinion and offer direction as to what will make you look and feel amazing. That means a lot, there are plenty of times when I have a hair brained idea (yes, pun intended ;)- about a drastic change, and I'll admit, I've had other stylists who jumped at the chance to do something time consuming, uber expensive and not necessarily flattering for me. Ashley is an artist and she has impeccable style. She is also really easy to talk to and I felt like I found a long lost friend the first time we met! WOW- see, this review was overdue! Thanks for sticking with me- now pick up the phone, or schedule online (I love that option) and get your pretty little head over to Vixen Beauty Lounge! read more

Love vixen salon! I go to the owner Ashley who makes my hair beautiful AND healthy. I always get compliments on my blonde color. So glad I found this place because customer service is at its best! read more

Vixen Beauty Lounge is a gem! I live out in the desert and actually drive in 2+ hours to get my hair cut and colored at Vixen Beauty Lounge by Lesley. Lesley is phenomenal - she's easy going, fun, honest, fashionable and incredibly talented. Everything you want in a stylist. I found Vixen Beauty Lounge by accident. I was visiting San Diego and needed a last minute cut and color. Vixen Beauty Lounge has an easy to use online booking system and I was able to find a last minute appointment. I walked in with 2.5" gray roots, bad highlights and an overgrown haircut (oh also did I mention my hair is curly?) and Lesley gave me my favorite cut and color ever. I walked out looking like a silver fox! read more

So happy I found this salon! I've been a client of Leslie's for about a year and my color has never looked better. She took me from an over-processed platinum to a more natural blond with highlights and lowlights. I highly recommend Leslie if you're searching for a great stylist with color expertise. read more

I am updating my review, not because my experience at Vixen has gotten worse. I am writing because it's gotten even better. I honestly love this salon. When Robyn left I was lucky enough to have Ashley, (salon owner) take over. I had always heard amazing things about her but it's always scary when you make a change. Well, she was and is incredible. Not only is she a perfectionist in her art- wether it's color, cut or extensions, she is a perfectionist in every detail of her business and her salon! It's always a treat to go there, espressos, coffees, treats, hot neck rolls...it's true pampering. The products they use are all natural and the shelves are filled with them along with fun girly things. Guys-don't be put off- they have plenty of male customers as well! Give them a call you won't regret it! read more

Ashley is AMAZING! After moving to Solana Beach three years ago, I needed a new stylist. I gave Ashley a try and I was blown away by her work! She is very professional, wonderful to chat with, definitely listens to what you are looking for in your style. I have received tons of compliments on my hair color, cut and condition of my hair. Don't hesitate, book an appointment with Ashley you won't be disappointed. read more

I was recommended to this salon by my co worker she goes to Leslie , so I gave it a try and was very satisfied , she takes her time listens and understands... it's been my 3 rd highlight with her and I love it every time ... it's a cute little salon everybody is super friendly and nice , I highly recommend this place .. read more

I got a trim & blow dry and and a little style by Lesley first time and she is great!

I first came to Vixen Beauty Lounge in 2016 via a groupon. I'm so glad I did. Ashley did a phenomenal job on my highlights! Robyn did my highlights, cut, and style this time and she did an amazing job! I'm so impressed Vixen and will be returning!! read more

Definitely go to this place if you want professionalism, trendy, & super friendly stylists. Every time I arrive l, I'm greeted with " would you like you like a latte, sparkling water, tea, wine" . Also they have my favorite cake/cookie Madeline's. Oh and they send you emails to keep you in the loop with things like styling classes like blow drying & curl classes. They carry lots of the best products to purchase, products I find in NY salons. This place is a gem, best kept secret! So glad I found you Lesley! read more

I love Lesley! After I moved North and my previous stylist was just too hard to get to after having a baby, I tried a half dozen other stylists before becoming loyal to her. She is a color expert, and knows how take my poor descriptions of certain styles I want to try and edit them into something that will actually look good on me. The salon itself is super cute, and it's enjoyable to spend a few hours in the chair. read more

Leslie is an amazing colorist! My hair always comes out soft and shiny and the exact shade that I was looking for. Ashley is also helpful and both provide input into recommendations for hair products. The salon is clean and friendly and hoping to get back there after restrictions are lifted. Jill B. read more

Vixen is such a great boutique salon I always know that Ashley will do a fabulous styling on my hair and I have never been disappointed. Great color, great highlights and great cut! read more

I have been getting my hair done by Ashley (salon owner) for the past 13 years. She is truly fabulous; listens to what you want, makes awesome recommendations, loves to pamper you, and more. It's a beautiful little boutique- truly a gem of a find. My daughter started seeing her a few years ago and just loves her hair when Ashley works her magic. The Davines product that the salon uses is amazing and so great for your hair - and you can purchase them to take home with you! read more

I moved here from Los Angeles about 8 years back and since then have been in search of a true artist that not only understood color but listened to my concerns and would commit to partner with me in working toward my hair color goals. It has been quite a task but after exhausting my efforts, I found Ashley. She is not only a fabulous listener, she truly cares about her work. She has Integrity and Talent! You know its a good day when your stylist uses your photo on their website ;). I feel blessed to know her as a stylist but even more so as a woman. She is such a caring soul and I can't recommend her highly enough. You won't be disappointed. read more

Came in here to get my hair cut and colored, Ashley was great. Since I am growing out my hair she advised me to skip the cut so I could grow out my hair. Highlights and color look great! The salon itself is nicely decorated and has nice perks like snacks, etc. read more

I went to this salon because it was the only one I could find in Solana Beach or Del Mar that a price list listed online. I kind of wanted to know what dollar amount I was looking at to have a cut and highlights. I made an appointment with Leslie who was awesome! Provided me with excellent color and just the cut I wanted. The other thing I really liked is the ambiance of the salon. Not over the top glitz and glamour with a bunch of chairs and stylists. Low key and charming. read more

Ashley is a great hair stylist. I've been coming here for a couple years now and I love the products she uses. My hair used to feel damaged but it's been really healthy for a while now. Everyone is really friendly, and there's always plenty of parking which is nice. read more

I've been going to Kylie Kincaid at Vixen Beauty Lounge for about 8 months and have finally found my hair stylist! Kylie is amazing at what she does and really takes her time to understand what it is you want, and is realistic about the time, cost and result. My hair has never looked better, so glad I found a gem! read more

Ashley B., the owner of Vixen Beauty Lounge, is amazing! I haven't met someone with her expertise and obvious love for her profession in many, many years. Totally refreshing. The salon itself is darling, but the service and advice given are out of this world! I know I may sound kind of gushy, but I can't say enough about this place. I was not born with the greatest of hair and have struggled over the years to find the right cut, color, products, etc. to help with my sometimes unmanageable locks. I first met Ashley for a consult where she told me she could definitely help me get back to a healthy, manageable hair-state. Because she was booked up for a number of days (actually 2 weeks I think it was), she was kind enough to squeeze me in the NEXT DAY(!) with her assistant, Leslie. Even though Ashley oversaw and mixed my color which Leslie expertly applied, I know Ashley had/has full trust in Leslie's stylist capabilities. What a great experience from beginning to end. It's been two weeks, and my hair hasn't felt nor looked as soft, shiny, and overall HEALTHY since I was a teenager (that was a looong time ago) and all this after only ONE color/treatment! I definitely needed to start a new product regiment and both Ashley and Leslie agreed that Davines MINU shampoo and conditioner, OI All in One Milk, and the Medium Hairspray would be a good place to start. Man, were they right! I love this Italian line and hope, hope, hope Mr. D'Amico's farm will never close up "shop"!!! I have another appointment in a couple weeks with Ashley for a root touch-up, and I seriously can't wait... it's not something I usually look forward to. lol. I easily give this salon 5 stars. It was like spending 1.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon at a lovely little day spa. Thank you so much, Ashley (and Leslie) for everything! (note: I was referred to Ashley by a friend who has gorgeous hair - I'm sure she was born with it (damn her!), but she admits Ashely works wonders on her hair, as well). ***** read more

I recently moved here from Arizona and have been searching for the last 7 months for a stylist that can handle my thick curly hair. After a few bad haircuts at other salons the search is over! Lesley did an amazing job on my cut and color. She gave me so many options and I loved her input. I am looking forward to my next appointment! Lesley is amazing! read more

I'm new to the area and don't have a "go to" person/salon in San Diego. I called and booked an appointment with Ashley. She came in on a Sunday and did a Brazilian Blowout, color, and trimmed my hair. She was so awesome. Very friendly. Had a good feeling about getting my hair done by her just from our couple of phone conversations before the appointment. Had such a wonderful experience in the salon, was so pleased with how my hair turned out! I didn't leave a review right away because I wanted to make sure the results lasted. And they have! First off, I have VERY stubborn gray hair that LOVES to grow right at my bangs. Every time I have had it professionally colored, it's turned brassy orange within a few days. Sometimes it just comes out brassy (my stubborn grays only) Well, Not this time!!! My hair color has stayed the same since the day she colored it!! This alone means so much to me! As for the trim, exactly that, a trim. :) And for the Brazilian, My hair is so silky and smooth. My curls don't frizz up, and it's so fuss free now. I had turned to just putting my hair in a bun instead of dealing with it, not anymore!! Thank you so much Ashley! You made me beautiful and a loyal client. read more

I went into Vixen for the first time yesterday because I got a groupon for full highlights, a cut and style and I was VERY impressed. I didn't do much research so I was a little nervous but Robyn did an amazing job and it's one of the best results I've ever had for blonde highlights, very natural and bright with no brassiness! I definitely intend on going back in the future! read more

I absolutely love my hair everytime I leave. Robyn does such an amazing job and I am never disappointed! The atmosphere is amazingly friendly here. Definitely gained a customer for life :). read more
