I recently moved to downtown SD and spent MONTHS researching and reviewing hair people (including asking everyone I ran into). It's almost funny how much time I spent researching it, because I didn't research a new eye doctor this hard!! Brianna (Bri) was fantastic from the start - we texted a number of times before my appointment. Part of it was for my comfort level, but also I wanted to make sure that she was prepared for what she was getting into. :) I'd been blue for 8-9 years and was ready to make the change to purple, but wasn't quite comfortable enough to have her use bleach or a color stripper just yet. She was kind and helpful and I was pleased she also uses the same product that my old gal used! My visit was excellent. The salon is clean and very pretty, and well lit. The hair is all mine (also part of my concern when initially contacting her because the website almost made me think she only does extensions), it's long and fine. Adding insult to injury, I was getting over a cold when I went to visit her. She handled me and my hair like a champ. She was friendly and talkative when I felt like it (which I really didn't, as talking made me cough). She asked questions about what hairbrush I used, questions about what my old gal did, and was great about listening and asking follow up questions. I haven't had a chance to wash it for the first time, yet, but it's a product that I'm familiar with so I'm not worried about caring for it. I will return, and next time I'll be comfortable enough to ask her to bleach my roots. I highly suggest Bri and the Green+Anchor Salon! read more

From Blonde hair to a redhead and now, Microlines toppers! These girls are always staying on top of the hair game! Let's talk about my Microline topper by Hairdreams. Installed by Brianna and Megan. It's different from just your average hair extensions, way more coverage, and especially if you're thinning like me. Currently, I have the Microline topper and one row of hand tied hair extensions for length, but you can do without the extra hair extensions, but it also depends on your hair situation. This baby has plenty of hair and good quality, no fading so far, and I've had it for over a month today. Is it comfortable? I forget I even have it on. This is definitely worth a consultation if you're wanting and are open to try something new. read more

I typically don't write reviews but Green + Anchor deserve more than 5 stars and everyone should know! I'm very picky when it comes to getting my hair done, as I experienced a horrific bleach job during COVID that broke off A LOT of my hair. I did a lot of research and contacted Briana on Social Media to ask a lot of questions... I have wore tape-in extensions for years and felt they were adding to breaking off more of my hair. Well, finally something good in 2020 - My perfect group of ladies, Briana the extension BOMB, Meg the Magnificent, Emily the Extroidanair and the other staff that all work amazing as a team. From the time you make your appointment, arrive and leave looking FABULOUS, it's a great experience. Everyone is so warm and friendly, explained everything to me and was so knowledgeable that I knew I was in the right hands. I'm so glad I kept looking and the stars were aligned just right to find such an amazing and talented group of women #girlpower read more

So incredibly inlove with my hair! Meg did an incredible job. I am also a hairstylist so I did tons of research on where to come for extensions and found green + anchor! I've had all different types of extensions in the past but these are by far my favorite I've ever had. They look super natural and they feel really good! I showed her a couple of inspo photos for my color and it is exactly what I was picturing. The salon itself is super cute and clean. I love that they are an eco friendly salon, huge plus! Also meg is super sweet and very knowledgeable, I felt like I was in great hands! Thanks meg! read more

Stephenie is the best! I wanted to go darker, shorter, and ashier, and she totally nailed it. I went from wearing my hair up every day to wearing it down, and I get so many compliments every day! She did a eucalyptus nourishing treatment that made my hair silkier and more manageable, love it. Green + Anchor is suuuch a great space too, incredible natural light, airy, peaceful. They had yummy snacks too, these almond flour crackers were a great pick me up. I can't wait to go back, I've never had a stylist I felt so comfortable communicating with and trusted so much, Stephenie is my hair angel. read more

Meg is amazing! She's such a pro. Definitely worth the investment! I love that these extensions do zero damage to your existing hair. The atmosphere of the salon is very calming - great music, lots of plants, and really nice people! read more

Literally so in love! Best blowout in bankershill / hillcrest! Bri did an amazing job with my blowout, I asked for bombshell Victoria's Secret waves and she gave me just that! Ellery washed my hair and gave an awesome scalp massage. I was thrilled that all of their products were ALL NATURAL, I never knew natural products could work so well on my hair! I have really coarse, dry hair and left with incredibly smooth, soft, hydrated hair. They gave great instructions for finding them, it's not too difficult but definitely be aware that it is street parking (don't forget to pay your meter) The space was super cute! Modern, fresh, simplistic. So happy with my blowout and the products they used on my hair. Will definitely be returning and would recommend this place to all my friends, I've literally been getting compliments on my hair nonstop since my blowout. Thank you Bri and Ellery!! read more

Briana has been doing my extensions for about a year. The hair extensions have been life changing due to the confidence boost they've given me. The extensions are a significant financial commitment but if you can afford them I think they're worth it. I was worried I wouldn't enjoy my extensions because I don't often have time to style them but that's not the case. They look amazing even when I pull them into a ponytail (which is admittedly most of the time...). Briana is also amazing at coloring and highlighting my hair. The products she uses are great. The colors are beautiful and also gentle. I colored my own hair monthly for years and I believe the damage I did to my hair has now been reversed. The G+A salon is also lovely and relaxing and her assistants are all very sweet. read more

Ellery is such a sweetheart and did a fantastic job on my cut & deep conditioning treatment. The salon is beautiful, bright, comfortable and clean. And it is such a plus that they use organic, clean products! Great experience overall. My only tip would be to make sure you pay for at least 2hrs for the meter parking... I, unfortunately, assumed 1hr would be enough and was so lost in the relaxing session that I came outside to a parking ticket :( moral of the story: always pay for longer just to be safe. read more

Loved my experience at Green & Anchor; the dope setting, friendly reception, talented and sweet stylist Kinsey, and the gentle hair products. I looked into this salon because it uses hair color that is free of ammonia and parabens, two nasty ingredients that make my scalp itch. Kinsey was very knowledgeable yet not pushy about healthful products for my hair and she provided a super moisturizing hair masque. I left with the softest texture, natural coloring, and flattering blow out, I was tempted to skip Pilates and show it off at dinner. My expectations were exceeded and this will now be my go-to salon. Parking here, as warned in an email after you book an appointment, is tricky. Like most downtown/Banker's Hill spots, you pretty much have just metered parking. Regardless, Green & Anchor is worth that small fuss. read more

This must be my second or third post...But!! I just cant say enough to amazing Brianna is! Recently went from 18"s to 22"s and everyday i just love them more! Such an amazing job, so natural! Wake us stunning everyday thanks you you! read more

Such a great place! The vide here is so relaxing and calming. I love coming in to get my hair done. Delfina is my go to and she has done amazing work for me!

All the people here are so nice and do amazing work from all that I have seen being in the salon. Can't wait till I get to come in again! read more

She is so amazing at her craft and so meticulous that each time she's done my hair they have turned out absolutely perfect! Not only that but she's one of the sweetest kindest souls I know!

Had a great experience with Delfina yesterday. She listened to everything I had to say, gave me some feedback/pointers and wound up doing an amazing job for me & my sons hair. I walked out pleased with service and the overall experience. Thank you- I will be back! read more

I love this place! I researched different hair coloring lines that were non toxic and didn't have as many chemicals as traditional hair color, and this place uses Hair care lines, as well as color that are in line with that. Innersense hair care products and O&M for hair color, as well as others. Emily is awesome! She listens to what you want, and applies that. I told her a warm chocolate brown with not too much red, and it is awesome color, very natural. She also has excellent technique at cutting long layers. She is also a truly sweet human being and wants you to love your hair. I love coming to see her. The salon also brews an excellent cold brew coffee and serves it with cute striped paper straws. Attention to detail is an all time high with all of the lovely women that work here. An excellent salon. read more

I can not thank you guys enough!! I had extensions put in for my wedding from a place in San Leandro ca. And they were not done right. They bothered me so much I called to see if they removed them. Not only did they remove them but they washed my hair gave me a treatment and braided my hair for me! You guys are the best. Thank you for taking me last minute! read more

Green + Anchor Salon - Enjoying wine while my hair is cleaned and fresh. Thanks for saving the day!! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I wish I could give all the women at G + A 10 stars and more. Genetics has left me with thinning hair, and as I close in on 50, more scalp than hair was visible on the top of my head. Briana installed a micro lines topper on my thinning crown and it is a game changer. The product itself has me thrilled, but the care and sensitivity Briana and this wonderful group of women show is the best part of the whole thing. The color match is spot on, and Briana and her team made me feel completely at ease. Ladies, you are gifting a piece of dignity back to women with this issue. Thank you a million. read more

Brianna and her magic finger are a godsend for my Fine hair . I travel all the way from Temecula down to San Diego for her to do my NBR extensions. It's important to me that my stylist stays current with their education, and I wouldn't trust my hair with someone who didn't . The salon is adorable , and the drink menu is the icing on the cake ! Love my salon and NBR experience ! read more

Service: Blowout Parking was easy to find on a Friday afternoon. The salon itself is a little hidden, it's on the second floor of a building but the receptionist is very good with directions. Ladies were very pleasant and the salon was very clean. They offered a beverage right away which is always a plus and even had a restroom nearby. When I went it was not very busy at the salon, maybe there were two other girls there, if that. I remember it being more of a calm, soothing environment than a lively, energetic one. My hair it turned out as expected, nothing out of this world and it lasted through the night. I have a feeling like they really shine when it comes to cuts though so I may come back and see if it makes it to 5 stars. read more

I can't say enough about Meg. I have been going to her for about five years, and she is the absolute best ray of sunshine and pure energy. I will follow her anywhere! When she arrived at Green+Anchor, it was quickly evident she was exactly where she needed to be. With her talent for color and the salon's green and happy environment, it's the healthiest escape for both hair and soul. Love that it's women-owned and run! Keep up the beautiful work, Meg! read more

I've been going to Green + Anchor for almost three years now and I am so grateful to have a socially conscious, environmentally friendly, and beautiful salon to go to. It is a luxury experience and I highly recommend. read more

Meg is an absolute star. She works her magic on my hair every single time and I walk out feeling like a celebrity ready for my paparazzi pics (cue Lady Gaga) She is so talented and just the kindest soul..plus her shampoo head massage is world class. Please don't book her because I want her all to myself. read more

Love these women and this salon. Meg is beyond talented and super sweet. My color is the best I've ever had. I had never really known there was less toxic color and I can now say it is equally if not better than the toxic brands. I can't wait to come back. I could not recommend this salon enough. Meg is a true goddess! read more

I been wanting to try a healthier way of highlighting my hair. Emily was able to color match what I previously had. She processed it with no damage. My hair feels so healthy. I love that they use eco friendly products and a holistic approach to hair care. The extra touch of massaging the scalp and finishing it with a warm towels with essential oils was AMAZING!! I truly felt so pampered! The salon is extremely clean, with open space and such comfortable atmosphere. I absolutely loved my visit and I'm so glad I found this place! read more

I can't say enough about G+A! Meg has been doing my extensions for over 6 months and I absolutely love them! Finding a salon that provides luxury extensions and uses eco friendly and clean products was a dream. The women at this salon are not only incredibly talented (and beyond Gorgeous!), but they make sure you're completely taken care of while you're there so you can relax and enjoy the whole experience. Being surrounded by nothing but positive energy leaves me feeling completely rejuvenated every time. I also cannot emphasize enough what it has done for my confidence. This has been a true investment in myself and my well-being and I am so thankful for Meg and the whole G+A team!! It is so much more than hair. I am an elevated version of myself mentally and physically and my only regret is not finding them sooner! read more

The moment I walked into Green & Anchor hair salon, I knew this was no ordinary place. Beginning with the space itself, it has extremely high ceilings with floor to ceiling windows. You actually feel as if you are outside and one with nature! This fits perfectly with the products used at Green & Anchor as they are produced primarily using botanicals without toxins and harmful chemicals which harshly impact hair and the environment. This salon is also part of a co-opted group that recycles all packaging and anything else that can be renewable! This is a truly "clean" salon! As to the people that work for this amazing salon, they are all highly skilled and superbly trained stylists that were just as incredible as the rest of this businesses attributes. All extremely attentive, interested, caring and professional. If not getting an amazing scalp massage or relaxing at their shampoo area with a warm organic herbal oil scented towel over my head, I was being asked what snack or beverage they could bring for me. As to my hair, I'm not even sure there are words to describe the unbelievable transformation I experienced! I have had hair extensions for over 10 years, some good experiences, but many with numerous disappointing results. (I have very fine hair) The hair extension quality at this salon is so far beyond the quality of any I had ever experienced, it defies description. I did not even know hair like this existed! The customized color was just as remarkable and I could even tell that these health and earth friendly products were like nothing I had ever experienced before. The thick consistency of the tints as well as the botanical scents were just, "otherworld"! Finally, the method used to install these luscious hair extensions was also new to me and are apparently often referred to as INVISIBLE, because they are! (I know this is hard to believe, but when I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, I don't even need to do a thing to my hair! It looks already styled! Not kidding!) NEVER has my hair looked this great, ever! My stylist was (and is) Brianna, the salon owner, but do not be concerned about seeing any of her staff for the look of a lifetime! You will not be disappointed! Thanks ladies!! read more

I love this salon! This was my second time Having my hair done by Emily and both times I have loved the experience and how my hair looks after. The salon is beautiful, comfortable and relaxing. Emily is very friendly and a great hairstylist! Overall great experience at Green + Anchor. read more

A sweet little boutique salon! My stylist, Megan, is the very best... See her for the fabulous feeling of hair love! read more

I have followed Megan throughout her career and let me just say... she is THRIVING at Green and Anchor. I've had my extensions in for almost a full year and it still has been the best decision I have ever made. Megan is so sweet and absolutely talented. She is very good at explaining the process, listens well to your color goals, and she makes you feel like a queen. I love my hair and always get compliments. Not only are you getting amazing service, you get a clean experience that you can feel good about. 1000/10 recommend. read more

My hair looks great! Thanks to Green + Anchor Salon ... it was my first experience there and the color I received looks fantastic ... my family commented immediately when they saw me -- saying how great it looked, and they are very honest! The space is beautiful with lots of natural light, healthy plants and beautiful furnishings. The staff and stylists are friendly, courteous, thoughtful and positive. They accommodated all my beverage requests -- lots of sparkling water and some tea. The time flew and I was grateful for the nice conversations. Thank you for a great morning and for the wonderfully attractive head of hair I now have, thanks to you! read more

I should give her five stars just for being the nicest person on the planet but the real reason is because she communicates better than anyone I've ever worked with and she truly genuinely cares that you get exactly what you want and exactly what you look best in. I saw Delfina for color and she is a true artist. She is so responsive and I like how she repeats back to you what you want to be sure that she is fully understanding what you're asking for. You will NEVER feel rushed or dismissed. She makes you feel like you're the most important client she has. To top it off she is very skilled and detail oriented and extremely good at creating just the right shade/tone/contrast... or whatever it is you're looking for! I am moving back to Los Angeles and I will do my best to come back because finding somebody with this special combination of skill and care is very rare. read more

I am recommending this Salon and stylist to everyone who has complimented my hair since my first service. I did a full highlight and 2 rows of NBR extensions to add both length and volume. To anypne reading this considering extensions - I wish I had them sooner! Absolutely love the way the look and feel. I think i had always been conveened about maintenance but it has been less than I thought since I don't have to rewash my hair everyday haha. Oh my goodness if I could give this an extra star I Would! Green & Anchor is everything you would want from a salon, open air, adorably decorated, snack and beverage during appointment, and of course the stylists are absolutely fantastic at what they do with the personality to match. read more

I was impressed with this salon from the first time I called and got Ellery on the phone. She answered all my questions, which, as someone with long hair who has switched to vegan hair color, I had a lot of questions. She was both informative and friendly, so I made an appointment for a color. I've been to this salon three times now. There isn't one thing I don't like about it. From the time I walk in, I am greeted with a warm welcome and a cup of coffee or tea. Also, Ellery does an excellent job with blowouts, color and trims, and gives an amazing scalp massage to boot! In other words, she is awesome! Only thing is, catch her while you can. Her schedule fills up fast. This is the best salon I've come across in years. Services are also very reasonably priced. All of their products are plant-based and environmentally-friendly. For those who love long hair like I do, they are also long-hair-friendly, and they know how to braid! If you're serious about the health and length of your hair, I highly recommend it, especially to those with fine hair like mine. read more

I have been getting my hair done with Bri for about a year now. I am absolutely in love with the way she does my hair. I previously had been going to the same hair stylist for 10 years and she never wanted to try something different on me even though I really wanted a change. I happened to be walking one day around little Italy and saw Bri doing hair extensions and just walked in and had a consultation. She has been doing my extensions since December 2016 and I love them! She is always willing to listen to any concerns or changes I want. She also has great ideas on what to do with my hair. The saying "you get what you pay for" is defenitely true! read more

Amberly is awesome! So sweet and easy to talk to. I love how my hair turned out and it feels so healthy, which can be difficult when it comes to bleach. The salon itself is so cute and all the other staff seemed friendly as well! Thank you Amberly read more

Briana is an extensions goddess. I came to her after two horrible experiences that left me with bald spots on my scalp from extensions ripping my hair out at the root and completely broken hair. She treated my hair with growth serums, fixed the color to get it back to a healthy state and customized my extensions and placed them perfectly. After 7 weeks, I have a perfect grow out and can see such a difference in the growth. I've gotten so many compliments about my hair, many people not even believing me that I am wearing IBE because she placed and blended them SO well. They really are like invisible! I'll never go elsewhere. Briana is the best! read more

I love this salon! I normally am not excited about going to get my hair done but this place is beautiful and serene and the staff is super knowledgeable and friendly! I don't have to go home with that weird hair dye smell because of the amazing organic products they use and the prices are super fair! Amberly, my stylist is an angel and I'm so happy I found her and this place! read more

I honestly don't know how I had the good fortune to find Delfina, but I am so glad that I did! It's rare that you can find a stylist that is excellent at both cut and color. She does an amazing job at both! I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with her. She's not only incredible at what she does (she's one of those stylists that just "gets" you) but she's super cool and fun to spend time with as well. Also, everyone at Green + Anchor is so nice and I love that they use non-toxic products. read more
