Flirt Salon is that spot. The ambiance is adorable, the vibe is upbeat, and everyone who works there is genuinely so friendly and personable. Every time I'm in the chair, it feels less like an appointment and more like I'm just hanging out with my friends who also happen to be extremely talented with hair. The team is creative, detail-oriented, and really good at what they do -- you can tell they love their craft. They listen, they suggest, they hype you up, and they somehow make you leave feeling prettier and lighter inside. If you want good hair, good energy, and a salon that actually feels welcoming, Flirt Salon is it. I always walk out obsessed. read more

With much gratitude, I have been going to see Joy for eight years and a review is long overdue! She is a master at her craft, dedicated and a true artist. She's quality, over and over again. Every hair cut, every color. Joy is meticulous and thoughtful. Her experience, her continued education and her eye for aesthetics is always inspiring. Not only is she talented, she is an amazing person. Always uplifting, motivating and a light to those around her. To know Joy is to love her. To be in her chair is to have really good hair. Thank you Joy for always helping me to feel beautiful in my hair! read more

In town for a a couple of days and decided to get my hair done. Did a lot searching through Yelp and came across Flirt - their photos really reflected what I was looking to have done w my hair. Communicated w Joy through Yelp messaging and was able to get an appt w Eileen within 1 day of inquiring about an appt. I had a terrible previous experience at a different salon so I was nervous about trying someone new. All I can say is, I was not nervous from the moment I walked in! Eileen understood my concerns, my hair goals and 100% delivered. She takes her time, I did not feel rushed and the results are beautiful! I had an afternoon appt so we didn't have good natural late to take pics. I took the pics in natural light the next day. I asked for a chocolate brown balayage/highlight and that is exactly what I got. I read some comments complaining/commenting about their pricing. If you're like me and do your hair once, twice a year at most - im willing to pay for quality service /work. The amount of time she spent on me to do the highlights and balayage is in line w her prices. Not unreasonable at all. I would fly back to San Diego for Eileen to do my hair ! read more

Haven't cut my hair in years and went in to get 12in off plus wanted a hair style! I was leaning towards layers and Alyson did a great job giving me the layers I asked for. She provided and wash and style as well and that's my favorite part I loveeee the way she massages my head. She styled my hair by giving me a blowout but she will ask if I'd rather have a beach wave or a blow out! The overall vibe of the salon is super cute and clean. Very nice aesthetic I always feel comfortable when I go in for an appointment here. read more

There is no other comparison. I've been coming to flirt for over a decade to see Eileen. Not only is she an absolute artist and perfectionist at her craft, the salon itself is stunning. Doors are locked even during business hours for safety (it's EV after all). Joy, the owner, is an absolute gem and also does great work. It's a perfect little safe haven away from the wild world to have some girl time and cut/color that I'm certain you'll be thrilled with. I moved to AZ and still come back to San Diego to have my hair done here -- that's how good and consistent it is. I believe you get what you pay for, and the value and quality definitely matches the prices. The salon is intimate and warm, the decor is stunning but the vibe is what takes the cake. My time here always flys by (even during a few hours of balayage) and I'm always thrilled with my results. I have curly hair and Eileen is the only person who has ever done/cut my hair so that it can be worn curly and straight. I trust her implicitly. We love to support a small, woman owned business. These ladies are a force and if you have the privilege to sit in either of their chairs, I assure you you'll leave with not only great hair, but feeling safe, seen, and heard. Let's be honest hair stylists are just therapists who are more artistic read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Joy who was a sweetheart and catered to my every need (even ones I didn't know I had lol). Not only was she so kind but her work was amazing!! She completely transformed my hair and I'm looking forward to seeing her again. read more

I recently moved to San Diego and have been looking for a new salon. I found Flirt on Yelp, and the reviews and photos look great!! I noticed a lot of people asking for price quotes in the "questions" section, so wanted to share some information from my research! Flirt's voicemail asks new clientele to email them, and then they text you to get photos of your current hair and your hair goals, then ask for your availability, and then lastly give you an appointment date and price point. The texting process went back and forth and took all day- I first called at 9:30 am, and got my appointment date and price point just before 9 pm. They look like they do great work, but unfortunately it was beyond my price point ($550 for cut & color- balayage with toner). Hopefully this helps someone else looking for a new salon! read more

The most important thing when it comes to my hair is making sure the stylist and I share the same vision. I'm very picky and I have finally found my forever hair salon in San Diego. Joy is so amazing! She always makes sure that she's on the same page with me. She has an eye for detail and works magic by creating beautiful hair colors that compliment your natural hair and skin color. She is very consistent with her work. Joy also has a way of opening you up which makes your appointment like a therapy session and hair session in one! I leave feeling great on the inside and looking fabulous on the outside. I can tell she is passionate about being the best hairstylist she can be. Whether it's a balayage or babylights, I put all of my trust in her each time! The salon has a very clean, professional, and comfortable vibe. It's very cute and trendy inside. They sell every bumble and bumble product available! (My go to us the surf spray and hairdressers oil primer) The stylists are friendly and welcoming! It's so refreshing to feel right at home and to sit back and enjoy getting pampered! read more

Flirt salon is exceptional. I have been coming to flirt salon for over ten years so this review is certainly overdue. Wanted to take a minute to share positive feedback. My highlights are always perfect, beautiful and consistent. Service is pleasant and professional while still managing to be efficient. Certainly not the cheapest in town, but I wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair. It has been my experience, you get what you pay for. read more

My first time at Flirt Urban Salon and certainly won't be my last!

She's a fun and friendly personality, and makes you feel super comfortable throughout the entire session. It really felt like I was just hanging out with an old friend :) Cannot recommend this salon enough! Looking forward to the day I go back! read more

Just walked out of my first haircut of the year with Joy. First off, if you have any concerns of covid I totally hear you (why I put off a haircut for way to long). I can tell you that through the entire booking process to actually entering the salon and during, Joy took all the precautions (temperature check, both of us in masks and her even in gloves, hand sanitizer) to make me feel at ease and safe as possible. It's appointment only, so we were also the only ones in the salon which made me feel even better! Now for my actual haircut, I can be incredibly picky and Joy was so attentive, really listened to all my preferences while also weighing in with her thoughts. She took her time while also being such fun company that the time just flew by. She gave me a new do that I absolutely love. She is so talented and sweet. I highly recommend Joy! read more

10/5 stars if I could! Unbelievable transformation on my hair. Being from out of town, I was so nervous getting my hair done by someone new and Eileen was the sweetest! She really made me feel at ease. Plus, she absolutely killed it! I mean really brought me back to life! Would highly recommend! read more

Not only is this the trendiest salon I've ever stepped foot in, but also the best salon I've ever gotten a haircut from. Joy is amazing!! She immediately made me feel so comfortable & with her attention to detail I just knew she cared. I cut off probably around 10inches of hair that day & she gave me the exact short hairstyle I needed & wanted. 10/10 recommend booking your next hair appt here! You won't regret it. read more

Joy is the best hairstylist I've ever been to. She is friendly, honest and skilled! I went to her salon for a haircut only. My hair length was long, and I wanted to go short (for the first time in over a decade). As you can imagine I was nervous at first, but she made me feel totally at ease. She also showed me the correct way to curl my hair (I only curled the ends before, lol). I left with new knowledge, a lovely hairdo, and a sample of the hair product she used on me. Thank you Joy! I love my results (: read more

The photos speak for themselves!! I'd been totally avoiding getting my hair done professionally for the past few years, but when my el cheapo box color turned my hair a funky shade of green (did you know that really happened?! I always thought people made those stories up!) I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go pro. I found Flirt on Yelp, and because it's a hop, skip and a jump away from my apartment, I called to make an appointment. Soooo glad I did! Now I have like the Rolls-Royce of hair color. This hair is beckoning me to buy a private jet and fly to Spain with my lover. It wants me to take up a second career as Jessica Rabbit. I'm going to need to upgrade my entire wardrobe to match this beautiful hair. I can't stop looking at my after photo. It's getting weird, guys. Five stars to Joy. I'm going to go Pin my own hair now!! read more

Inquired for a cut/color based solely off the amount of highly rated positive reviews. I texted and chatted with Joy about how I was in dire need for a hair cut. The salon is very busy--so I didn't mind waiting the 3 weeks for my appointment. She was able to get me in for a hair cut and we scheduled for color later. I felt heard and understood about what I wanted in terms of my hair cut. We cut off 9 inches and I love it. Can't wait to come back and get my hair colored with Joy. She is truly a sweetheart and makes you feel rest comfortable. The salon is clean and smells nice when you arrive. Pricing is what I expect of a salon of this caliber. You pay for the quality you desire! Wish more purple understood this. Will update my review once I get color. read more

Joy is perfectly named. She brings Joy with her professionalism and flat-out great hair and color. Is Flirt Salon cheap? No. You actually get what you pay for and all pricing is on the website upfront, so don't play dumb when your sesh is ovah, doll. Lol! Jk Just remember, you get what you pay for. read more

Loved the way joy cut my hair! Will definitely be going to her again! She was so sweet and funny too!

I truly can't say enough amazing things about Joy. I had gone to a different salon to get my hair done a week and a half before my wedding. I left with something completely different than I had asked for and was unsure where to turn. My fiancé found Joy and I was immediately at ease feeling like she could "fix" what had been done at the other salon. Joy was incredible -- she completely understood the stress of the situation and opened her doors to me on Labor Day (the week of my wedding) to fix the previous salon's mistake. She started by asking super thoughtful and thorough questions to ensure we were on the same page and to ensure the end result would be something that would look great and not cause damage. The end result speaks for itself. As a natural brunette, I really wanted to showcase my natural color the day of my wedding and she did just that -- I went from streaky blonde thanks to my previous stylist and salon, to amazing, gorgeous, healthy dimensional color that showcased my natural hair just was I'd always wanted. I literally couldn't trust or recommend her more -- she's incredible through and through (did I also mention she's the absolute sweetest and has the cutest salon?!) I won't trust anyone other than her to do my hair and couldn't be more thankful to have found her! read more

Wow, such a fun hair appointment! I heard about Joy over having dinner with some lady friends and she made such an impression on them, I had to check her out! Joy is super quick. She cut my hair so fast, my OCD self unnecessarily had her make extra snips just so I felt better. She's also super spunky and it was just fun chatting it up. I've been in San Diego for almost 4 years now and think I finally found my go-to stylist. read more

Joy's salon is great and her service is impeccable! I went in for my first cut in two years and am super happy with the results. Joy took time to understand what I was looking for, made great recommendations, and explained things thoughtfully. The cut itself was very efficient and turned out perfectly. Joy is also super personable and fun! I'll be returning for trims and, if I do color again, will for sure trust her with my hair. Great COVID-19 precautions in place. Everything is sanitized and well spaced. Masks were on the entire time and there was plenty of sanitizer available. read more

Eileen is an amazing in every way! She updated my color & not only that she called her next client& asked to push them back to make sure I walked out a 10. I was a mess- -I did a "do it your self color the last 2 months" & felt like a Husky pup who knew better but did it anyways. She spent 5 hours- not kidding - 5 hours of updating color & correction & cut - along with positivity vibrations & conversations Everyone who works there makes you feel like your part of the family team. I cried out of sheer joy & amazement .. I know - -cheesy but true. . My husband said of the 13 years he's known me this is one of the best hair color & cuts I've had & I agree. Not to dismiss past hairdressers who have also been great but I have to say the entire experience made it a 10 Star day!! Highly recommend!! read more

I was an idiot and decided to "bleach" my naturally dark hair at home, by myself, with the crap from the store. Long story short, my night ended in a full panic because I looked like a cross between a cheetah and a 31 year old woman who decided now would be a good time to experiment with bleach for the first time in my life. I reached out to various salons first thing Saturday morning hoping a miracle could be performed. I got a text from one of the girls from the salon before they were even open telling me that she could get me in that same day with Tiffany. Tiffany is a miracle worker. Not only is she extremely talented but she's a really good person too, and yesterday was the first time I met her. I highly recommend this salon and most importantly, Tiffany. Thank you thank you thank you!!! read more
