    Loooooveeee this cute little salon!! Super cute small shop located in North Park and super friendly staff. So happy I found this place. I found Hazel via Instagram and my friend who referred me, and so happy I did. She is amazing!! I had really dark hair and she made my hair so light within the first session. By the second session, my hair was amaaazinnngly light. She takes into consideration the health of your hair as well, which I love and appreciate! I have been coming to Hazel for 4-6 months now and she never fails to give me the hair I want! She is super busy so I always try to book in advance!!

    I get my hair done by Hazel and always leave super happy with my hair and her personality is A++!! She always makes me laugh until I cry and is always so straight up and blunt!! She got me super blonde on my first session after having so many sessions with someone else. I definitely recommend her if you're looking for a new hair stylist and her price is great!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Ever since I found Trai my life has not been the same (lol). She really listens to what I want and definitely delivers. I'm honestly so glad I found a hair stylist in SD while I was here because my hair could not wait for me to go home every-time to touch it up. The prices are also very affordable, especially since hair color can be very expensive. 100/10 would recommend coming here and seeing Trai because she will change your life

    Not as bad as the other side, but still,  it evenly layered.

    It pains me to write this review, but man, I felt so irritated and annoyed at how horrible my haircut was. I have gone to Aileen 3-4 times now, and have taken my mom here as well. Every time I've come, I've always asked for a trim and have left feeling pretty satisfied with my hair. However, this time.. was horrible. I wanted to go a little shorter and wanted a lob (long bob). Aileen told me in order for me to do that, I'd have to go much shorter so in the end, we ended up with practically the same haircut again, which was just layers. She finished my wash and cut in about 30 mins, and sent me on my way. My hair was curled so I didn't see how terribly butchered my hair was until I washed it. Mind you, I'm extremely picky but when it comes to my hair, it's the one thing I don't really care about as long as it doesn't look horrible. This time, it was soooo choppy and uneven that even my boyfriend, who never notices things like this, was like "wow, that looks pretty bad babe." I asked to come in again to get it fixed up bc there was no way I'd go for a couple of months to wait for it to grow out again looking this messed up. When I came in, she proceeded to sit me down to "even out" my hair again. Not once was there an apology for messing up my hair, also, she asked me what was "wrong" with the haircut when you can just tell how bad it is. (Pics attached) She was going to fix my hair without washing it so it was still dry. My hair had been tied up all day so it was wavy in certain areas, so I wasn't sure if it was going to be properly cut. Still, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. She fixed my hair and it looked fine once we were done. After I washed my hair at home, I realized that one side was layered well, and the other was cut straight even with just a little bit of layers. I'm so disappointed and honestly pissed at this point. All in all, I think it's safe to say I will never come here again.

    Aileen is a goddamn national treasure I had been struggling to find a hair stylist in San Diego and I was referred to Aileen by a few of my co-workers who had been raving about her for a while. I took a chance and it's been 2 years and I haven't looked back. Aileen is great because she really listens to you when you tell her what you want and will be honest if she thinks that the style/color you want may not be the best for your skin tone and face shape. She's the only stylist I've worked with who will only cut off an inch when you say "just an inch" which we all know is rare when you get your hair cut. She recently took me to from dark hair to blond and it was such a great experience. She talked me through the process, was honest about how light she could take me per session while maintaining my hair health. News about Aileen has spread so if you want an appointment, try to book at least 1-2 months before you need the hair cut/color. She's 100% worth the wait!

    To say that Aileen is amazing when it comes to my hair is honestly an understatement. I get really nervous when it comes to finding the right hair stylist that listens to what I want, but Aileen has made me feel really comfortable even on my very first visit. She understands what I want, without being afraid to voice her honest opinions because she really wants the best results for her clients. I have made numerous appointments with her and have left feeling satisfied every single time. She does a superb job with my hair and her attention to detail is something I really appreciate as it's very rare to find a stylist that remembers the situation of your hair (your style/preference) even after months of not seeing you. Booking my first appointment with her was the best decision I have made. Long hair or short hair - there's no one better to trust my hair with than Aileen. 12/10 would recommend. Hehe love you Aileen!

    Aileen's work on my hair!

    I'm still going to Aileen for all my hair needs! She's such an amazing hairstylist, and I always try to recommend her to all of my friends. I absolutely love how she tries to keep the integrity of your hair to prevent over damaging it and to make it look natural as possible. I've gone to a light brunette, to a golden blonde, to an icy blonde, and to gray. I always trust her process and the way she styles my hair. In addition, I love the way she cuts my hair. I always get so many compliments on my hair! I think the greatest part of her as a hairstylist, it feels like you're just catching up with a friend. She's really attentive and makes sure you're comfortable. I'll be sweating my ass off sometimes in the salon, and she'll bring me a fan to cool me off . If you can, book with her! She does get busy, but she is definitely worth the wait. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. If she ever retires or moves, I'll beg her to come back to do my hair

    Second session in my journey to blonde

    Not sure why it's taken me so long to write a review considering I've been going to Aileen for SIX years now. Six years ago I heard of Aileen through a friend of a friend when I decided to chop off a foot of my hair. During my haircut I was convinced that the next time I saw her I would let her dye my very dark Asian virgin hair. Aileen is a hair god to say the least. I don't trust anyone else with my hair coloring or hair cuts. It has been a long journey of getting my dark virgin hair to the ashy blonde it is today- but my hair not only looks great but it feels healthy too. She really takes care of her clients and advises them of any precautions to take in order to prevent your hair from suffering major damage from processing. She listens and delivers. Aside from hair cuts and coloring, Aileen offers comfort and friendship every time you sit in her chair. I've even gone to Disneyland with her-- that's just how much our relationship has grown over the years and I wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you for always taking care of my hair Aileen! I will never let you move away from me (unless I can come with you) lol!!

    Cut and color by Hazel

    Went from raggedy to ashy (blonde) and it was a good thing LOL I had an appointment with Hazel (@hl_hairstyles on insta) the other day and she is amazing! Before Hazel, my hair color was one dimensional, the cut was outgrown with crazy flyaways and baby hairs, flat and just all around blahhh...it was time I get *professional* help lol. My friend recommended her and so I decided to try her out (turns out a lot of my friends who had amazing hair also went to her)! The booking process was easy, just emailed her about what I wanted, asked what her availability was, pricing, etc. and I would get a response that day or the next day at the latest! Day of the appointment: Parking in North Park for me is usually hit or miss but I went on a Monday morning and there was plenty of parking. There's street parking right in front of the salon, or around the corner there's a church with a small parking area. The atmosphere was chill (music playing, light talking, not crowded or overwhelming at all) and the interior is cute, clean and tidy! Hazel had an assistant who helped me as soon as I walked in. She offered me a beverage and then we had a mini consultation with her and with Hazel so that they really understood what I wanted for my hair. I showed a couple of inspo pics and Hazel was very helpful in explaining the subtle differences between them and was very transparent with how the results would turn out. They understand the importance of setting the client up for success so that we always leave happy! Both Hazel and her assistant were polite, professional and obviously very talented! I would trust her to do any hairstyle of her choosing on me to be honest lol! It's crazy how much a killer haircut, color and style can dramatically change the way you feel. I definitely recommend :)

    Daniela did my color and cut. I wanted something light but to keep as much length as possible. I also wanted color but nothing too crazy. So basically, I gave her no real direction. She was so great at figuring out exactly what I was looking for and executed it to perfection. To top it off, it was a delight chatting with her. Her positivity and energy are contagious. The salon is in a perfect location. I had no problem finding parking. It's cute, open floor plan was also aesthetically pleasing.

    Christmas 2019 - love the dimension.

    This is for Aileen - in all my 6+ years seeing her I don't know why it took me so long to review! During that tome she has been with my hair journey from barely being brave enough for a slight balayage ombré, to purple, to toned down, to now an ashy blonde. I used to think it would be too much maintenance but with her work and aftercare tips my blonde stays pretty until the next toner. I'm still getting compliments until the week of my toner. It shows how much she cares about her job and helping others. Plus, her prices are definitely reasonable - you don't have to break the bank for nice hair, friends! Thank you Aileen, for helping me push my boundaries because a good hair day is never overrated!

    2020: 2nd color session-- BOMB

    I've been getting my hair done at pricy salons for years, this is my best place so far hands down. HAZEL is amazing. I've seen her 3 times already since the end of last year. She took out box dye 1st session, Brazilian blowout 2nd session (I've had it done in the past and it came out the best when I did it with her), touched up balayage 3rd session. Worth the $$! Salon is super clean and cute.

    Look at this balayage!!

They don't do 3D art, they've told me they literally can't do anything other than gel polish. This last time they told me they won't do art unless it's gel, and that will cost you like 30$ more on top of the 29$ for a basic manicure. My 65$ pedicure was 94$ after I added gel chrome polish. Like if you don't want to do regular polish- say GEL ONLY- so we all know! The older woman who did ny pedicure was great and all but the language barrier was brutal and she literally spent 10 mins talking to someone else to get clarification on how to do chrome nails! Like how is this place even in business if you get stuck at chrome nails. I asked for dark red as my base color but she wouldn't do it, and just used black. It's so frustrating when you are excited to treat yourself and they claim to do all this stuff just to waste your time finding out they don't. AND they take soooooo long. They also seem very ANTI-BLACK. I'm mixed and one of the girls literally never did my manicure and left when I asked if I could just do regular manicure and not gel. And then when 2 non-black women came in, they immediately did theirs, and when I asked again they acted like it was the first time I even brought it up! Another time a woman (the last time I came in) asked me to pay upfront before my nails would be done, "becuase that's their policy" while the woman next to me paid AFTER her nails were done! Like do you think I'm dumb? Come on. I'm never coming back. Just a waste of time, if you want the nails you ACTUALLY want. Don't waste your money.

I am allergic to gel unfortunately so I dont get to do many fun designs, but Ken is the one tech I've found that can do more than just one color using dip powder: hes done French tip and ombre using dip and always does a fantastic job. If he feels that the nails arent long enough or design feels funky depending on my length of nails, he will always let me know and give me options. I really appreciate that. My nails always last - usually well over a month even with dip. Most nail techs here are great but I did get one person who started putting gel on my toes once despite me reminding them I couldn't get gel.
