    Cut and blowout

    I love David!! First time there, just wanted a cut and blow out. He knew exactly how to cut my hair & is helping me on my long hair journey (: He is very sweet, fun and knows what he is doing!

    Short layers framing the face but keeping the longer length

    First time getting my hair done by this hair wizard!! We did a cut and B3 treatment ($100), my hair is silky soft & super healthy! I loved that he was able to keep the length but layer it up and cut my dead ends off! Prior to him, my last hair cut was 2.5 years ago! I am sooo satisfied!! He also is a very nice guy and has a lot of great stories to tell! I felt like I already knew him in that hour and half session!

    Great b3 treatment n blowout

    So happy the infamous Celebrity Stylist is back in town! He is in the Del Mar plaza which is the perfect place for a stylist of his caliber. He has been doing this forever, is Sassoon trained, and specializes in Hair Extensions. He likes to work with Great Lengths as well as Hot Heads, both 100% real Human Hair! He does this B3 treatment that leaves your hair so silky smooth. It restores the health of your hair in one treatment. He also rocks a cool blow dry! David has decided to give back by holding classes on the weekend to fresh out of Beauty School students so that they can learn what they aren't able to in school. It will allow them to be more marketable right out of school. The space is cool, elegant and simple. His space has a large window that looks out onto the patio on the Plaza's second floor. Great light. Did I mention that David is also a Master Colorist? For those of you who get highlights or wants to change your color, you know how important it is to find someone who really knows color! It is literally priceless. Please, go see him- you won;t be disappointed. He is super friendly and so approachable too. No heirs about him at all. I have also been a stylist for over 30 years so I know a bit of what I'm talking about ;)

    Love my new cut & color by David Perez! Even on a rainy day, my curls hung in there. :) My favorite stylist!

    *Love* my hair cut & color! David Perez is a genius with color. Today, he whipped up a beautiful mahogany/ brunette color for me. He custom-blended 4 colors to perfectly match my skin tone and eye color, and to add shine + depth to my hair. He finished with a long, slightly-layered haircut, which gave my hair body and bouncy movement. (My hair is fine & wavy in texture.) The result is beautiful. Love it! The La Jolla Salon is in a great location to grab lunch and shop. I can't wait to see the new Del Mar Salon location!! David has been styling my hair for many years & he's the only one I trust to cut/color my hair! Plus, he is so outgoing & personable, he makes the appointments just plain fun. :)

    I am changing my review on David Perez because he has been very unprofessional and has taken advantages me because of my profession and my genuine kindness. I have overpaid him because he has made me feel I have no other choice. I have tried to put his disrespectful unprofessional behavior aside, even my hair falling out aside. David is a con artist not a hair artist. He has Solon in a very prestigious location and preys on women as they walk past storefront booth. I have tried to overlook my opinion for six months because I am a loyal customer and did not want to go elsewhere for my services, mostly for convince and because he is very good at making you feel like he is the best. I was a fool to fall for his act. I did not want to write this review but feel I can not let others fall in the same experience I have had. He asked me to write a review for him when I went to him the first time and did because I care about his people and thought he did a good job. Since then he has over bleached my hair and my extensions have continued to fall out almost every day! I continued to go in and replace them and was charged for the repairs even though I paid 1500 for my extensions. In 5 months I paid at least 3000+ dollars not including tips! I now have multiple bald spots and my hair is in much worse condition then I ever imagined. My job requires me to look a certain way and he has taken advantage of my situation. He knows how much I make and continued to solicit me to invest in his real estate business every time I went in. He hit on me each and every time and also made me feel very uncomfortable. He talked about my personal life and appearance to friends I referred to him and has also made them feel uncomfortable as well. After all of this I still went to him and just desperately wanted to have him help me. I have willingly overpaid him and put aside his unprofessional behavior because I didn't want to offend him and felt he was worth the battle. I made a mistake and have to warn customers of his behavior and of his overall False overpriced service. I have found a new salon where I pay half the price and my hair is actually not falling out! He had me believing it was my fault and all along he was damaging my hair. Had I continued to go to David I may have had to get a wig or discontinue getting hair extensions. I am very upset with the way he treated me but glad that found another place and also thrilled I do not have to take his abuse any longer. I hope he will be more professional in his future clientele.

    After reading all the awesome reviews about David I had to see what the hype was about. I was looking for a color change and have had an extra hard time finding someone who could do my long curly hair in a timely and professional manner. All of the pictures I saw on his reviews looked great so I took the plunge called and David answered promptly and professionally we set up for the next day at 4. What a great time I had!!! David is a great guy puts off great vibes his salon is very professional and clean and parking is close by. He will be my go to from now on!! He did an awesome job on my hair and not only that I found out so much about him and his many business adventures!! He truly knows how to give great customer service and really takes the time to understand what style and color your looking for!!His personalization is out of this world!!

    Let me start out by saying I don't like to have to leave bad reviews but after my experience I just…read morefelt like I had no option. My friend pays for a membership and was on her final month as she she was cancelling - she had one more blow out left so she gifted it to me. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and she wanted me to get pampered since I have two other toddlers at home and never get me time. I was there when she called to make the appointment, she tried to book 11:30 they said they can do 11:45 we said great! End of call and everything was set. I show up at 11:40 and say I'm checking in for my 11:45 spot. They then inform me it was at 11 and I missed it. Which to my surprise I told her I'm positive it was 11:45 she said she would look what happened. She said after looking my friend booked an "add on" to my blow out didn't tell me what that add on was either. Which again I was there when my friend made the app and she never added anything but just booked her last blow out. She said the add on made the time look like it was 11:45 but it was 11 and I missed it. I then asked if they had anything else she said no it's Super Bowl Sunday. She said well I can maybe do 3pm (I live in oceanside so I drove 35 mins for this app and had to find childcare as well) so I couldn't do 3pm. I asked if I didn't get anything was my friend still charged? She said yes. Which is insane since clearly it was their mistake since I was there when my friend booked the app. No add on service was asking for, clearly whoever booked it when we called messed up. Also they never called anyone to inform us we missed and app or anything after 11? My friend then called and asked to talk and the girl at the front was nice at first but then started to make faces when my friend was talking to her on the phone which I thought was rude since I can clearly see her doing that. Again kept blaming us saying my appt was at 11 okay if you booked that, then that was your bad not ours and now we're charged for something we didn't receive? I understand accidents Happen but to blame us and basically say nothing you can do is pretty upsetting. I think I'm just most upset since I found child care, left my two toddlers, drove 35 mins and basically was told too bad. Atleast I got a quiet car ride lol

From the very beginning, we shared a few laughs, and she gave the most incredible head massage. It set such a relaxing, positive tone for the entire experience, and I already felt so cared for before we even started the cut. As soon as she began working on my hair, I could tell I was in amazing hands. The techniques she used showed such skill and intention--I could actually see the vision coming together, which gave me so much confidence and trust in her. That meant a lot to me. When she asked to style my hair at the end, I was genuinely impressed by how much she cared about every detail. I absolutely loved how my hair turned out, and I felt so good walking out of the salon. Beyond her talent, I'm truly grateful for how comfortable and welcomed she made me feel. The conversation flowed so naturally, and the whole atmosphere was warm and inviting. As a first-time client, that meant everything to me. You can also tell she uses high-quality products, which I really appreciate. Kortnie truly went above and beyond with my haircut. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted, then elevated it into something even better than I imagined. She was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented, making sure the length was exactly right to bring everything together perfectly. I felt like she genuinely cared about getting it just right for me. On top of all that, she's kind, warm, and a true professional. I'm honestly so thankful I found her. If you're looking for someone who not only knows hair but truly listens and cares about your experience, Kortnie is absolutely the person to go to. Thank you so much, Kortnie! See you in a few months.

(I must preface this next part that I have family members who are in the industry, but just live too far for me to return to on a regular basis) Many of the stylists I tried were, non responsive, way overpriced and not very educated in their field. I tried to use yelp to find the best and many would not even return my calls. Fast forward to this past week. I thought I would give yelp one last ditch effort and chose to call Capsyl. It was a Wednesday evening- after closing time, so I did not expect a call back until the next day. It wasn't even 5 minutes later that my phone rang and I spoke with Kelly. She told me that Rebecca just received a cancellation and could get me in on Friday morning. To say I was stunned is an understatement. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. Once in Rebecca's chair, I could tell she "got me". She listened to my ideas, looked at the photos I brought in and chatted with me about her thoughts. Then she got straight to work. She was easy to talk to, we had a few laughs and she gave an AMAZING head massage. Once she started cutting my hair, I knew she knew her stuff. I could tell the techniques she was using were creating the look I was going for. She styled my hair and I really loved it. (I very rarely like how stylists do my hair after a cut and color) Her prices are very reasonable and the conversation is great. I'm so grateful to have found this little gem that is nestled up on Flower Hill. :)

This time, I was…read moresupposed to have a deep conditioning treatment that I had won after my root touch up, and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, when the stylist arrived, she basically told me she didn't have time to do it and had a pretty unwelcoming attitude. I really felt like I was a burden rather than a valued client. In the end, I still ended up paying $90 just to be treated pretty poorly, and the experience left a lot to be desired. The only saving grace was the front desk staff, who were absolutely amazing. But my stylist not only skipped the treatment, she left my eyebrows looking terrible and didn't even bother to fix them or make me feel comfortable.

I've only been here for color so can't speak to anything else, but thought the quality was fine as usual if not quite as good of a deal as it once was. Staff is friendly but not always up to speed on some nuts and bolts - for example, how to check the balance on a gift card and apply it to one's bill.
