Karissa has been my stylist for years, and I absolutely adore her! She is always so warm, bubbly, and honest about what will work best for my hair. I spent my entire life trying to find bangs that would actually work with my thick hair, and Karissa finally gave me the bangs of my dreams! She has also completely transformed my hair care routine, and thanks to her guidance, my hair has grown longer and healthier than ever before. Karissa is an incredibly talented stylist with an amazing eye for what suits each client, and she's a genuinely wonderful person. I always leave her chair feeling confident and so happy with my hair. Karissa has also been cutting my kids' hair since they were little and is so patient. I can't recommend her enough! read more

‘DO Beauty Boutique - Karissa took the time to show me how to naturally style my wavy hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Extremely disorganized, defensive, and a complete waste of time! ​I had an incredibly unprofessional experience here and strongly advise prospective clients to be cautious. ​The red flags began days before my actual appointment: 1. ​Deposit & Bookkeeping Confusion: Days prior on Mon 7/27, Karissa the stylist texted me asking about my $50 deposit and claiming other clients were waiting for the chair. I had already paid it, but she had no record or awareness of receiving it on her end. While the deposit issue was eventually resolved, it was concerning that she couldn't track her own payments. 2. ​Scheduling Mistakes: Today, of my appointment, while I was actively driving to the salon, Karissa, texted asking if I could come in earlier than 2:30 PM. I had to remind her that my appointment was actually scheduled for 2:00 PM, a mistake she admitted to. 3. ​When I arrived, the appointment lasted only a few minutes. I brought in standard reference photos as general ideas to ask for her professional opinion on what would work best for my hair. Instead of offering expert guidance, she panicked, became defensive, and claimed we "weren't on the same page." She accused me of being impossible to satisfy and refused to touch my hair entirely. ​She did return my $50 deposit, but turning a client away after messing up the schedule, failing to track payments, and refusing to conduct a basic consultation is unacceptable. A professional should be confident in their skills, manage their business properly, and communicate constructively. Save your time and find a stylist who actually knows how to handle a consultation. ‐---------------------------------------------- Tiffany, Thank you for the response. While I understand technical issues happen, cell service disruptions don't account for missing payment records or defensive behavior during a consultation. ​Communication & Scheduling: A T-Mobile outage does not explain how a recorded $50 deposit payment was forgotten, nor does it make receiving panicked texts about double-booked chairs or wrong appointment times while en route any less unprofessional. Calling these "simple accidents" minimizes the impact on the client's time and experience. ​The Consultation: Showing inspiration photos while explicitly stating what I don't like in them is standard practice to help guide the stylist. Rather than taking a collaborative, professional approach to educate or offer expert recommendations on grey-blending, Karissa became panicked and defensive, accusing me of being impossible to satisfy before turning me away in the chair. ​Refusing to conduct a proper consultation and blaming the customer when things feel overwhelming is not professional service. Returning a deposit is the absolute bare minimum, but it does not make up for the disorganization and poor treatment experienced today. Break‐-------- Tiffany, To clarify, Karissa did not hold my seat for an extended period. She requested the $50 deposit during our text exchange on Wednesday, July 22nd. While I initially mentioned paying on Friday, I submitted the payment early on Thursday, July 23rd. Framing this as a favor is inaccurate; her approach was unprofessional and demonstrated a distinct lack of confidence in her service. Furthermore, Manager Tiffany explicitly confirmed that Karissa's actions violated company policy. This clearly demonstrates that Karissa was operating unprofessionally and outside approved guidelines, making it even more unreasonable to act like she did me any favors.............. read more

After two really bad haircuts, I actually started trimming my own hair at home. I have wavy hair, and so many stylists in the past have cut it as if it were straight. It would look one way when they styled it in the salon, and then completely different (and not in a good way) when I let it air dry at home. I reached out to Tiffany and she was so quick to respond and even fit me in the very next morning, which I really appreciated. I came in wanting a shag that had actual style but was still low maintenance for me as a busy mom. She really understood my waves and gave me a cut that works with my natural texture, not against it. My hair now falls beautifully on its own, has shape and movement, and looks good when air dried or blow dried straight. I'm so happy I found her. If you have wavy hair or just want a flattering, effortless haircut, Tiffany is amazing! read more

I was in search of an experienced hair artist since moving here last Summer! I came across Tiffany, by seeing someone else's post about her. I really liked that person's hair color, so I clicked on the salon she was referring to. I read Tiffany's bio, and was thoroughly impressed with her accomplishments. I instantly loved her beaming smile on her featured pics. It is befitting of her personality! I came in for a desperately needed color correction, and time just flew by... the salon has a fun vibe, and the other stylists were also great! Tiffany is incredibly talented!!! She turned my hot mess, into a platinum blonde in one visit! I couldn't believe it. She is THAT good! It is very difficult to find someone that knows how to dye Asian hair. I would highly recommend Tiffany and her staff. Such talent! read more

Patricia did such an amazing job with my super frizzy hair. She did a really good layer cut and style for my hair without reducing the length by much. Looked like a completely different person when I left the salon The place is really cute and comfortable. Will be back soon! read more

Tiffany is awesome, first off. Best quality I have had in years for a hair treatment and consult. She responded to me quickly and helped me hone in on what would be the best for my look/hair plan of action. Great smelling shampoo when she washes and is considerate not to put you in a painful head neck back position. Super open and fun to talk to and has interesting stories in so many topics. My hair came out beautifully, covered the grey, got a balayage and when I went to my program the next day it was funny, women were like wow your hair looks amazing! you look like an actress! come sit by me ________. Very confidence boosting experience. I think she is a good leader and example to other stylists getting into the business. She is colorful/punk/unique style knowledgeable. AND guess what, easy parking. :) Thanks Tiffany! I'll see you again for our next appointment. read more

I love Sovanara!!! I drive from Los Angeles to San Diego just to get my hair done by Sovanara and I have been a client of hers for 5 years! I always give her an idea of what I want and let her decide the details and I always come out loving my hair! She is the only person I trust to work on my hair and her personality is another reason I am a long time client of hers. I always love coming to debrief with her about my life and it's a therapy session in itself. Sovanara is the best in the business and whoever is her client knows how lucky they are! read more

I just moved back to SD, and was looking for a local hair stylist. I found DO Salon on yelp, booked an appointment and was hoping for the best...it's always risky when searching for a new stylist. I was pleasantly surprised with my gorgeous cut and service by Diana D. She gave me exactly what I was looking for (layers and face framing) - and she kept my length! I felt right at home. I highly recommend her, and won't be going anywhere else for my hair needs. Thank you, Diana!!! read more

I got my blunt bangs trimmed into curtain bangs by Tiffany and am super grateful she was able to squeeze me in! They finally grew out enough where they were able to be cut differently. She did a great job, it only took a few minutes, and my bangs look a lot better :) read more

I couldn't find a time to get a haircut here, but felt compelled to write a review because the customer service was wonderful!

Sovanara is the best hair dresser I've ever come across! She was the first person to take genuine interest in my hair, she wanted to know all that's been done to it within the past couple years. She helped me achieve my hair goals HEALTHILY! She has never damaged my hair! Of course going blonder takes some time but she's such a great conversationalist that the time just flies by! She's helped me with my rose gold hair dreams and to get the perfect blonde for my wedding! Scheduling an appointment with her is so easy! And the salon overall is so cute! All the girls there are so nice! It's like the movies, we go to get our hair done and everyone is talking and sharing their stories, it's a great time! read more

I highly recommend this salon as the services and customer care are off the charts, absolutely amazing! This was my first time getting my hair colored so, I was very picky in deciding who I could trust with my hair. Luckily, I was met with a lovely experience as the owner, Tiffany, was doing my hair and always made sure it was a very comfortable environment. I was very nervous about the turnout but, it ended up turning out so beautiful and stunning. I asked for an ash grey balayage and also showed pictures for reference. read more

Please don't go if you are BLONDE I had such high hopes for this appointment but left feeling completely let down. I was quoted $250 for a blonde full highlight. After quoting me this price and me confirming it, she ups it to 300. I decided to go through with it anyway. The process took five hours, and when it came time to remove the foils, my hair was tangled. Instead of carefully detangling it, the stylist ripped through it, breaking so much of my hair. The final result was brassy at the roots and ashy everywhere else--not at all the even, bright blonde I asked for. What really bothered me was the lack of accountability. She didn't offer a discount, a follow-up session to fix it, or even a proper blowout. My hair looked frizzy and unhealthy when I left, and she rushed me out so quickly that she didn't even bother turning the tip option around on the payment screen. It felt like she knew how bad it was and just wanted me gone. For $300, I expected much better service and results. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back and can't recommend this salon ESPECIALLY FOR BLONDE. Please save yourself 300 and book somewhere else read more

Get your highlights done with Paty! She did an amazing job, they look so good, and I had a great experience. I'm a light brown girlie pretending to be a blonde and she made it happen for me flawlessly. It's cute inside, easy parking, and everyone was super nice. I'll be back! read more

I've booked with Sovanara TWICE in my life and I have not forgotten the experience I had with her. She made me feel beautiful and confident with the color correction she did for my hair that, before her work was completely horrible. Not only is her work amazing and leaves you feeling very confident, when you sit in her chair you feel like you truly are her friend! I suck at talking to new people but Sovanara made a genuine connection and took and real interest in me that I felt like she had been my friend forever. Her openness, confidence and kindness is rare and truly special. She is someone that I for sure will come back to whenever I decide my hair needs some getting done! Thank you Sovanara read more

Although Sovanara skills are good, her customer service is terrible. I was a client of hers and been trying to book with her since she was pregnant. I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and understand life gets busy like she is a mother of two. But she should've been communicated with me that she didn't wanna do my hair instead of leaving me hanging. She continues to block me from her instagram stories so I wouldn't see her availabilities as she accepts more clients read more
