    Hair cut and style
    Selene G.

    The service at Freda's hair salon never disappoints! Jessica and Freda are so welcoming and even offered me a delicious pastry. I highly recommend getting your hair done here.

    Look at that!

    Oh my goodness... I have been looking for 'my' hair person for 2 years since moving back to CA. I found her! Freda, and her niece, Jessica, are AMAZING! I got the EXACT hair style and color I asked for! I wanted the 'messy' hair look and have had trouble finding a stylist who believes that's what I really want! Freda gave me the BEST cut, color, highlights, and style I've had in YEARS! She taught me all I need to know about how to care for it and style it! I love Freda's place and will continue to go there for ALL my hair care!

    Freda is the best hairstylist I've ever had here in El Cajon! I've tried so many salons, and no one did get what I told them to do. I always have a butterfly hairstyle and she did it perfectly to me, this is not my first time coming in to her salon, but decided today to give her a review as a pay of my gratitude! I did Keratin treatment and haircut here, and today was my 4th time coming in here, and always leaving her salon feels fabulous! There's a nail salon beside her's to so will probably coming back there and try the protein treatment she was talking about and do my nails too. I am excited! And by the way, $65 for my haircut, shampoo, and hairdry! (excuse me for my barefaced!)

    Mom and daughter :)

    I asked for long layers and to shape my bangs and Jessica delivered! My mom's been coming here since before I was born to get her hair done by Freda (I'm 21!), so that in itself says a lot. The ladies are so sweet and kind, and this is genuinely the best my hair has ever looked! 10/10 recommend Freda's Hair Salon. Thank you both ladies!

    went to Freda's as I have been going for months. One thing I hate is they never wear mask. The second is when I went last they took a picture of the back of my hair and it looks great. But the front did not. They urged me to purchase purple shampoo from them which turned my hair white. Then when I went for them to fix it they only colored the top of my hair. I went to the salon lounge and my new hairstylist fixed my hair and it's all the same color. She also suggested that I never use purple shampoo. Buyer beware. Your face and hair are the first thing people see.

    Butterfly Haircut :)

    I came in for a haircut today and I'd just like to say that the service here is top notch! The amount of effort and care put into my visit is absolutely amazing. The overall atmosphere of the salon is very friendly and very comfortable. And the service itself is very satisfying!! I have been here a few times and the service always leave me happy at the end of the visit. I greatly recommend this salon!

    The left is done by Freda.... Right is what I had fixed by someone else.

Casey was such a sweet treasure of a soul. She took the time to get to know me, my needs, my personal preference and she listened without judgment!! I have been struggling with hair loss for many years and I also have thin gray hair! I brought my own shampoo and conditioner, Casey was so respectful and fairly knowledgeable about the challenges of gray hair and hair loss. I really appreciated how open she was when I shared that I preferred non-toxic, products without harmful chemicals. She even inquired about the products I brought. She took really good care of my hair. She was really easy to talk to. I left loving my haircut!! This was the first time a stylist didn't go to town trying to "layer" my hair to give me volume. I will definitely be back to see Casey!!

Tyler was friendly and easy to talk to and I explained I had a work event that night and I was hoping he could style it so it would last for that. He sprayed every curl thoroughly and the curls held all night. I have been to several other salons over the years and was honestly shocked the whole thing was only $55. In this economy???? It was a steal and Tyler was lovely. Definitely will go back.

Because…read morethis is a spot that many hairdressers utilize independently, there is no central booking option. Not Vagaro, not on the website, and not by phone. I sent an email and also called. I was able to get a receptionist on the phone but because she was new was unable to assist. I was directed to contact the individual hairdressers via Instagram. This required me to follow their page before I could message them. Really, really inefficient. In the meantime, I was able to locate another salon and hairdresser via Vagaro and book an appointment. These professionals may be great, but having an easy way to book will get more clients. In this day and age, the instantaneous booking is the bar and this place doesn't meet it. It is a hurdle/challenge to just get an appointment. I am sure these people are nice and are probably good at what they do.

I made the mistake of going here and ended up paying three times the amount of money to have my hair color corrected after Sam turned it a red orange color when I told him beforehand that my only fear was ending up with red/orange hair. He assured me it would not. Not only that but the haircut was totally uneven and way shorter than I wanted. It had to be recut to even it all out. This can be devastating for a haircut that is already extremely short. Now I have to wear a scarf or a hat until my hair gets longer. Probably around six months. The worst experience of my life. I thought because he had great reviews he must be pretty good but after my hair was ruined I looked further for more reviews. If you look hard enough and deep enough you will find all of the terrible reviews. For some reason people are able to hide these which is a bad thing for people like myself that look for reviews before going to a new salon. I dont understand how he could have so many 5 stars reviews after what he did to my hair. Are they really all real reviews? Seriously, this is so deceiving and it's unfair to people that rely on honest reviews to decide where to go for hair needs. Sam is a very nice man until it comes time to take responsibility for ruining your hair. Then he's not so nice.
