She's an international hair pro who has styled Bella Hadid and Naomi Campbell for magazine covers and does hair for Chanel and Dior shows in Paris and Milan. I have blonde hair and get a double process and Grissel is not only an artiste but she's extremely knowledgeable and super fun to hang with for a couple hours very 6 weeks.

Grissel Esparza - Round brush blow out - Hair Stylists Near Me

Ok, I'm just going to get to the point- Grissel is THE best. I started getting my hair done by her in 2005 after my "hairstylist" friend seriously BOTCHED my hair. Grissel not only fixed my hair but gave me a whole new perspective & appreciation for what a great hair cut/ color can do. Grissel has no problem telling you what she think will/ won't work and will even carry out your crazy whims- I've added purple, turquoise, pink chopped off about 10" and experienced the wild life of a redhead. I've since moved from SD to LA and STILL drive down every 2 months because I only trust her! I got my bf to get his hair done by her on my last visit and now he's hooked too! read more

This review is long overdue. If you've found Grissel in San Diego consider yourself lucky, because you're getting celebrity stylist level of work at a much more reasonable price. Grissel is truly an artist. She's been doing hair since she was a teenager, and has worked on hundreds of photo shoots in LA for major fashion magazines. The only reason her studio is in San Diego, is because she lives there. Having the right hair stylist really makes the difference between looking good and looking hot. I live and work in the entertainment business in LA, so I'm aware of that probably more so than most people. It took me 2 years of searching to find her. I plan on booking Grissel on my up coming TV and film projects, and I personally come all the way down to SD every few weeks, so she can do my hair. It's more than worth it because she's THAT good. I have friends who pay 3 times as much as I do to get their hair done at high end salons, and I always feel like they're getting ripped off because my hair looks just as good, if not better, and I'm not breaking the bank like they are. Over the last 6-7 years that I've been her client, we've taken my hair from a boring brown to every shade of red, black, brown and blonde. We've also tried various different looks with bangs and layers. She can also match high quality real hair extensions to your color. A lot of times I bring a picture from a magazine with me. It doesn't matter what I ask for, Grissel makes it happen even better than I had imagined. On top of that, she's one of the most amazing, genuine people I know. Despite her busy schedule she always makes her clients feel like VIPs, and works with them to find an appointment that works. She's always on time, and always so fun to talk to while you're getting you hair done. Just stop looking now because you've hit the jackpot!! :) read more

My daughter comment when she saw me after my hair was done: " well, an angel just dropped in your lap... she made you look 10 years younger mom" My struggles were real from years of bleaching and most people not knowing how to not damage my fine hair. I called my hair tumbleweed due, so I always hid them with a bun -Embarrassed of what it really looks like. It's been a decade since I felt beautiful as well as the tremendous complements I revived in a day was very empowering! I can't thank you enough Grissel! You are a keeper and my new rockstar! read more

Grissel did it again! I have beautiful hair again! She takes the time to do it right! read more

Grissel Esparza - I went blonde for the summer... - Hair Stylists Near Me

See all

I started going to Grissel in 2004 when she was a Junior Stylist at The Salon in Old Town. Fast forward to seven years later and she has continued to be my stylist. Before Grissel I had never regularly visited a stylist more than a handful of times. My hair is fine and wavy and recently she found a great style that allows me to let my hair air dry. I loved the angular bob cut I had before I had my son, but went for this low maintenance style recently and have gotten many compliments. I trust her style and hair care tremendously. Over the years, I received color on and off and when I did all over color or highlights, it looked great. She is very attentive and records the color and cut to ensure it's similar the next time if you prefer. Too bad I recently relocated out of the area and won't be able to visit her on a regular basis. read more

Grissel is amazing! She worked her magic on my hair! 9 months ago I had gone to another salon to get a "baylage" done. I immediately regretted it! The bleaching damaged my natural wavy hair. It actually wasn't the color that I wanted. I'm so happy I came accross Grissel's yelp. Her new location has plenty of parking. Her salon is clean with a good view. She was also so welcoming and friendly as soon as I walked in to her salon. I appreciated her honesty and feedback when it came to my hair. She explained everything that she was going to do to my hair. Specially since I have a lot hair and it's thick too! She took her time to cut my hair and gave it a nice shape and style! Not one minute I felt she was rushing to get my hair done. She reccomended a new color that wouldn't cause damage to my hair. My hair feels and looks so healthy! You know it's a job well done when your own family doesn't recognize you! haha Thank you Grissel for my new hair I love it!!! read more

Omg, talk about perfection! I love her work ethic, style and the products she uses. Even though I color my hair, my hair stays heathy and beautiful with her help. I have a lot of trust in her hair style judgement. It is also very convenient to make an appointment. She is just simply amazing. She has been my hair stylist for years! Love her! read more

First off I've been FOLLOWING. This girl since 2004! I'm not joking. I got a random recommendation and woah. I've chased this girl all over town. I've tried others and man whAt a difference. We've grown together! Best hair stylist/colorist in SD. LOOK at her profile! read more

Seriously?! I wish I would have taken a before and after picture. This girl is a miracle worker! My hair has never looked better. I went in with a good 3 inch root stripe (dark brown with blond every where else). For the first time in my life, she asked me what color I like- I was just thinking "just make it go away- make it look good". She did. She did highlights, color, and a blow dry in less than 3 hours. Also, I will add that she did the best blow dry styling ever. I may go to her just for that! She didn't talk my ear off, and she actually listened when I spoke. Love her! read more

Grissel saved and transformed my hair!! She definitely knows how to do blonde hair! :) I got referred to her about a year ago and I am hooked! All the work she does is perfect! If you're not 100% satisfied with your stylist, you NEED to go to Grissel! She will make you love your hair!! read more

I've been going to Grissel for about six yrs now. I have crazy curly/frizzy super thick hair. I wanted a stylist who knows how to work with my kind of hair and I found her. Not only does she cut my hair but also does the color. I'm always happy when I leave there. So when it was time to get a stylist to do my wedding hair it was a no brainer, Grissel! But I had no idea she also did makeup too! I really could not have been happier, she made me look natural (as I really don't wear that much makeup) and refined at the same time - even with fake eyelashes! :-) My guy even loved what she did and he hates it when I look "made up". Once again, so glad I stuck with someone I knew and trusted. Thanks Grissel! read more

Nobody does color as good as Grissel. She is able to get my blonde bright and beautiful, while keeping it looking natural and without causing any damage to my hair because of the quality of color she uses. I've gone to other hairdressers (regrettably) due to being out of town, and I always rely on Grissel to do damage control when I return to San Diego. She really is amazing! read more

If you're feeling like you just want a new fresh look.. Grissel is your dream come true! I've been going to her for the past 4 years and continue to get several complements after every cut! A true artist! read more

Grissell has been doing my hair for a decade and she is the best!! I am constantly complimented on my hair color. I think the biggest compliment is most people don't even realize I highlight my hair, it looks very natural. Grissell uses high end products including her color. After coloring my hair for 8 years it still very healthy and not fried. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks so much for keeping my hair on point for all these years girl. read more

Since going to Grissel over 6 years ago I constantly get compliments on my hair. I change my hair style every year, different color, length etc.. I love how innovative she is but at he same time really listens to what I want and always tells me if it will work with my type of hair. She's very professional, takes her time, is a master with color, bottom line... she's an artist-the best! read more

Grissel is a true artist! I have had the pleasure of seeing her work styling models for photo shoots and she does amazing work, so imagine what she can do for you. If you're looking for someone who thinks outside the box, look no more. Give her a call; you won't be disappointed. read more

Grissel is amazing! I have super fine fragile hair that has been beaten and battered from years of color treatment. She has babied my hair back to life. Not only is it longer than it has ever been, its thicker too! If I could give her 10 stars I would! read more

This review is long overdue, like over 10 years. That's how long I have been going to Grissel. I have followed her around town for many years to different salons. She was the first person ever where I found I wasn't holding my breath in the chair. Grissel is always up on the latest trends and has never steered me wrong. I feel cool by association since she has a professional portfolio of work and has worked on celebrities and models. My blonde color always looks amazing. My sister can't believe how Grissel gets my blonde to match her naturally blonde hair. I tell people she gets hers dyed :). When I picked a wedding date the VERY first thing I did was get Grissel booked, I would have changed my wedding date if needed. She even got clip in hair extensions that were a perfect match to my highlights and low lights and no one ever knows it's not my real hair! Did I mention that she's also fun to hang out with and I get excited to go spend time at the salon?! My husband even started getting is hair done by Grissel for our wedding, we couldn't trust anyone else. Book an appointment it will be the best thing you ever do for your hair. read more

Grissel is my savior! She is an artist, a scientist, and a hair doctor. I've been getting my hair cut and colored by her for more than seven years. She's nailed the cut and color EVERY SINGLE TIME. She honors my requests, and creates a flattering look every time no matter what changes I want. I literally fly back from Washington state (where I live now) to see her. I tried to go somewhere else and got completely botched. Grissel fixed it with ease. Not to mention, she's funny and a people person! I 100000% recommend Grissel if you're looking for a cut and/or color. She also does both of my sisters hair and they look stunning every time. Trust Grissel to make you look and feel like a superstar! read more

Just booked my second appointment with Grissel. She does absolutely amazing work! I have super thick hair in which I always pitty the stylist that has to work with it. I left her salon with a super sexy style, just how I like. Awesome stylist with a great fun and personable personality. She was a joy to spend the 2 1/2 hours with! read more

The BEST haircut I have ever had! A miracle worker with long and short hair!

Best at cuts, color, and styling! She knows what will look good on your face! Worth Every Penny!

Grissel is AMAZING!! I came to her with black hair and asked to go back to my natural blonde color. We gradually went to a beautiful blonde color without my hair falling out or becoming more unhealthy. Surprisingly my hair is more healthy than it was before! I LOVE what she can do to anyone's hair and she really knows what she's doing! read more
