My BF made an appointment on my behalf with Daniel, after searching on yelp for an exceptional hair salon. He called this weekend, and scheduled my appointment for the following day. Being that I have already been having problems with my hair, after doing some highlights and straight perms from another hair salon, I began getting butterflies meeting my new hair stylist. I also created a topic on yelp about "helping me find a new hair salon", to fix this issue, but in any case.. I came indecisive not knowing what I really needed to do with my hair. I was so terrified that I may have to cut my hair shorter than it already is! My hair stylist was Daniel@ Cuts hair salon and he turned a bad situation into the best haircut experience, without cutting off an excessive amount. It has been about a month from my haircut at Cuts hair salon, and I don't have any issues with my hair. My hair stylist suggested that I get a trim every quarter, which is precisely what I'll do, right up until my damaged hair is eliminated. After that, I would like to play around and have some sort of style for my hair. Regardless of whether I come back to Daniel, or to another hair stylist, but I do recommend this hair salon for over the top haircuts! :) I just live so far away in San Marcos, I wish that Daniel was working at a hair salon closer to where I live. Gifted and extremely careful with every cut he makes. These are the things that make a good hair stylist into a greater one. read more

Never knew you had a Yelp page Daniel, I found you by googling your name =). Daniel has now moved to Boston, you girls are so lucky to have him in Boston. I still get my haircuts from him when he comes down to San Diego to visit his family. Not as frequently as I would like, but it's still better than nothing. You might think i'm a little crazy but once you get a haircut by Daniel you'll know why I wait for him. I think i'm the lucky few in San Diego that still get their haircuts by him, besides a few of my girlfriends. Anyhow give me a call when your in town again Daniel. My old review for Daniel while he was working with Dearinger's could be found here. http://www.yelp.com/biz/dearinger-san-diego#hrid:l8vRy2Ub6ddOh8Ovq2oxsg/src:self "My favorite stylist here is Daniel Ngo. This review is for his meticulous work and sweet style. Daniel takes his work seriously and its transparent from his fabulous haircuts. I can't say enough good things about him. All my girlfriends are always shocked when I tell them a guy cuts my hair. Once I refer them to him, they become faithful clients also. If your tired of getting rush through cuts, you won't experience that with him. Daniel takes his time and makes sure every strand is perfectly even. I have never had a bad haircut from him for the past 3 years I've been going to him." read more

My hair was in total chaos after an almost 6 month period of growing it out and was in serious need of a haircut, without giving up all of the hard work I'd put into letting it grow. I'd been to this hair salon before with a friend for an event, so I thought, why not? I didn't count on getting in on a weekend, but they just happened to have an opening with Daniel, so I went and put my trust in the hair gods that he would not let me down. And he didn't, Daniel took the time to find out what I wanted to do with my hair, gave me the best shampoo and scalp massage ever, then proceeded to meticulously cut my hair, following it by the best blowout ever. Furthermore, he was also extremely sweet and didn't talk my ear off like other hair stylists I've been to. All of this, and a cheap price, makes me want to tell all of the hair stylists I've ever gone to go screw themselves for giving me the quick 30 minute haircut/blow dry, and not actually listening to what I ever wanted. Go to this hair salon and see Daniel if you want someone who actually listens and can deliver! I defintely won't be letting any other hair stylist near my hair. Brownie points for the ultra helpful receptionist, too, as well as the owner of the hair salon stopping by to say hello. read more

I think Daniel is just an all around good guy and genuinely cares about his work. I have paid a lot more for average/not really in love with kind of hair cuts before and walked away feeling unsatisfied. That didn't happen when I went to Daniel last week. I had considerable long hair (about 7 or 8 inches past my shoulders) and told him that he could do whatever he wanted as long as I could still tie it in a ponytail. As he started cutting more and more, I could see how well my hair was starting to complement and suit the shape of my face. He took his time to evaluate his work from beginning to end and I really appreciated that because I think I really received the best hair cut of my life, but I didn't really know that until days later when I just kept loving my hairstyle more and more. I love that it still looks great even after the original styling. I don't do anything special with my hair, just shampoo and conditioner, so it's freakin awesome that it's so manageable despite it technically being a bob since it's above the shoulders. I thought I would have to get a hair straightener to upkeep it, but nope, I don't and I am really happy about that. Thank you Daniel, I will absolutely come to you again. read more

I find it difficult to say enough great things about Cut Hair Salon and my hair stylist Daniel. Daniel was highly recommended to me by a good friend of a friend when I moved to San Diego years ago and I'll never go to another hair salon while living in San Diego. Prior to Cut Hair Salon I used to go see him at Dearingers. Every stylist who works at Cut's Hair Salon is so professional and polite. I seriously haven't been to another hair salon with such outstanding customer service. The environment is bustling but never noisy or disorganized. Daniel's head massage during the hair shampoo is extremely soothing. Daniel is impressive with the shears and funny to boot. Every haircut is flawless and always spot on. It's always what I pictured and best for my face and hair type. Daniel has made it easier for me to change hair styles. I bring in a picture from a magazine, told him what I loved and didn't like about the haircut, and then he just executes. It always looks picture perfect. The precision of his haircuts are just fantastic. With other hair stylist, the time it takes me to explain what I want just drives me crazy. read more

I woke up this morning with the need to try a new hairdresser. A quick search on Yelp led me to Daniel. I figured that he was "Hot on Yelp" so I wanted to give him a shot at earning my loyalty. Arriving at the salon during traffic hour isn't the best time to go, this hair salon was extremely busy on a Friday. The haircut was exactly how I wanted it to come out. What I liked best about my haircut was it looked like I didn't spend anytime on it, but sexy at the same time. I wish I could give him 5 stars because I just showered and it still looks great. I'll update after my next visit with Daniel, I have a brazilian blowout booked with him in the upcoming week. Can't wait! Have heard so many great things about the brazilian blowout. Pros: Flawless haircut, classy facility, friendly hairstylists and terrific hair products that actually work. They make their own shampoo! Cons: Parking and seems understaffed for a hair salon especially for Friday. read more

Knowing Daniel has been best thing that I have done for my hair. My first time seeing Daniel, I didn't really like my haircut. Came home and my husband loved it and he said I was crazy. I didn't think anything of it until I went to work the next morning. All the girls at work loved my new hair and wanted to know who my hair stylist was. Daniel is quite fond of me now since I sent about half a dozen new referrals his way. Well I didn't actually send them, the girls forced it out of me at work. Now I just let him do his thing because i'm not a professional at knowing what looks best on me. Show him a picture of what you want, sit back and let him work his magic. If you don't like your hair, go home and ask for a second opinion from close friends. I've had second thoughts twice with him and after a few days loved my hair. Daniel is truly blessed with an eye for beauty. read more

I've been to all the best hair salons around Massachusetts and this past weekend I decided to try a new hair salon. I usually get my haircut at a hair salon a mile away. I live closer to Phillipostyle, so I decided to give their hair stylist a shot. I was greeted by Daniel, the stylist that was going to be cutting my hair. Daniel took his time unlike other hair stylist i've been to. The haircut took close to an hour, but let me tell you girls. It's been a week and I have NEVER had SO MANY compliments about my haircut in this short amount of time. Now all my friends are wanting to get their haircut by Daniel. Finding a hair stylist that loves what they do is hard to come by these days. I finally found the best hair stylist in Massachusetts! If your looking for the best haircut from a stylist that actually cares about their work, look no further. read more

So, my best test for a haircut (besides it looking outstanding) is that, when I get home. I don't need to get out the scissors and finish the haircut myself. I'm super OCD about my haircuts and, if it isn't specifically how I want it, I will without a doubt chop away at it, typically leading to me going back to another hair salon and getting it fixed. It's been a harsh, strenuous cycle which, has finally been shattered by the amazing Daniel. Another test is obviously, is whether I can style my hair making it look as wonderful as when I left the hair salon. You know what? I can! Daniel knew precisely how to cut my hair without me even actually having the ability to articulate the things I wanted. He also showed me how to style my unmanageable hair. Without a doubt I will be back. read more

I've been a long time customer of Daniel's for over six years now. He knows exactly how I like my hair cut and every time he talks to me in regards to if I would like to change it or keep it similar to the last time. I hate it when you go to a place and the staff just figures they know what you want and that you were 100% satisfied with the cut they previously gave you; Daniel isn't one of those!! Each and every time he listens and really thrives to give you the best hair cut in San Diego. His shampoos are amazing and he doesn't try to sell you something at less he truly believes you need it. I will continue to recommend him to everyone I know and pass out his cards when I see hair in need. Thanks Daniel!! read more

Not a regular at this hair salon, but when I have a "special occasion" that is important, this is my hair salon. Got a date? "Phillipostyle Hair Salon", A wedding to attend to? "Phillipostyle Hair Salon". A night out with the girls? "Phillipostyle Hair Salon". Daniel has a knick knack with hair and its apparent once you take a seat in his chair. It's always good to have a back up hair colorist that won't let you down and that is what Daniel has been for me. I go to a hair extensions specialist that also cuts and color hair. I just use her for the hair extensions and go to Daniel for color and fabulous hair cuts. ;) read more

So you want a haircut that is shaped perfectly for your head. Daniel is the person to see at Cuts Salon. He gives the best haircuts money can buy and I regularly get stopped by people asking who did my hair. My friends all know I don't play around when it comes to my hair. I don't mind paying a little extra to get my hair done perfectly every time. If you want a competent hairstylist that knows how to listen to you, Daniel's that hairstylist. I leave his salon looking like i'm about to go model my hair after his styling. I just wish I could lock him in my closet so I can bust him out every morning before work. read more

If you are looking for a good haircut, go to Daniel. He was amazing. I've been getting my haircut by the same lady in the bay area for years and hadn't found someone I trusted enough in San Diego. I have super long hair and everytime i go to someone new, i'm left only slightly satisfied and half the time feel like they didn't listen to me. I'm super picky about my hair and had the best experience with Daniel. Not only did he listen to me, he made the best suggestions and made my hair look and feel better than I thought it even could. Definitely book your next appointment here! read more

I love Daniel. He is the very best at color. My hair always looks beautiful, he does such a great job of blending you can not tell it has been colored, just looks like my natural color. I have friends that are hairdressers and they always ask where I got my hair colored and say it is the best they have seen. Despite what you may have read his prices are very reasonable 30.00 dollars less than I used to pay. He has a very gentle nature, I feel comfortable talking up a storm or remaining quiet and relaxed. If you do not know Daniel at CUT salon, you should read more

I believe I may be willing to dedicate myself to a new hair stylist for my haircuts. This is amazing, since I have been previously drifting from hair salons for a couple of years now, struggling to figure out which hair stylist to choose. And I think I've found him. Daniel has every aspect I'm hunting for in a stylist and most importantly the vision of the best haircut for my lopsided head. He's got extremely reasonable pricing for his haircuts. It was about $50 for a haircut and most notably, he always makes me feel at ease during my haircuts read more

First time seeing Daniel for a haircut and it won't be my last haircut with him either. The facility was modern and real nice. He's not an ordinary hair stylist you'll find at Super Cuts with clippers. Daniel cuts hair with all scissors, which makes the tips of your hair feel soft and not irritating against the skin. The haircut took about less than an hour, but you can tell that Daniel was making sure everything was precisely cut. The best part of the haircut was how it looks the same without any styling the next morning. read more

Daniel is my go to colorist at this hair salon. I'm a fan of his use of hair color and haircuts. He's the only hair colorist that never damaged my hair texture. "Hair color doesn't have to damage your hair," he says and he should know. After using a few distinct colors on me, I was in in love with the color of my hair. All I wanted to do was go out with my girls and flaunt my gorgeous new color. I know this type of attitude may be inappropriate, but I swear, try Daniel and you will feel compelled to do the exact same. read more

If there is one hair stylist in San Diego that I would recommend for amazing haircuts, it would be Daniel. I have been a client of his since he worked at Dearinger's hair salon in Downtown. He's now working at Cuts hair salon which isn't to far away from Dearinger's. You won't know what a good haircut is until you meet Daniel, trust me. His prices might seem high, but its justifiable since I only cut my hair 4 times a year. His haircuts take about an hour but you will leave with the best haircut ever! read more

Daniel has been cutting my curly hair and my sister's extra curly hair for the past 4-5 years now. He is a perfectionist and has been trained by one of the best: (Mark Dearinger). I first met Daniel at Dearinger. Mark was unavailable and I told him that I really needed someone that knows how to cut curly hair. He recommended Daniel and my sister and I have been very happy with him ever since! It is hard to find someone that really knows how to cut curly hair and Daniel is definitely the man! read more
