I've been a customer at Hair International for years now, coming about every 6 weeks. My hairdresser's name is Amanda and she is absolutely wonderful. I always leave filling refreshed and beautiful. Amanda is such a sweet lady and so much fun to talk to! She is very meticulous when it comes to her job. My color and cut always look amazing. I followed her from a previous Salon to Hair International. I also bring my daughter to her to get her haircut and highlighted. The whole vibe of the place is comfortable and relaxing. All the other ladies there are very nice and fun to interact with as well. I highly recommend. Hair international and especially Amanda! read more

Cut, trim, color, highlights. Followed CHELSEA from Super Snips when they moved; super friendly and outgoing. Chelsea also cuts my husband's hair. Spacious shop, nice people. Lots of parking. In the Armstrong Nursery center. read more

For me, this is great news, as my hair folks from Super Snips just moved into Hair International. All the new people are really fun and professional. The prices are good, the parking is easy and Donna, Gabby and Abby are all fine. I'd say to give them a try! read more

See all

"The customer is always right" no longer rings true for a certain stylist at this salon. I stopped going there because she would not honor my requests to not use a brush on my wet and thinning hair. I even brought in my own wide tooth comb once but she still didn't get the message. So sad too because she does a good job with the hair cutting. I need to keep what little hair I have left. read more

I am so sad to hear that Hair International has closed it's doors for good because of the pandemic. If anyone sees this that was a former employee or owner, thanks for all the great cuts and colors over the years! read more

This place is great! Salons are hit and miss when it comes to price and quality. I've been to expensive salons and received poor cuts and service. I've been to inexpensive salons and received great cuts and service. Hair International in El Cajon falls into the latter category. When it comes down to it, the most important thing is to find stylists who are knowledgeable and who care about their clients. This salon has that. They are good enough to recommend a style that best suits you and your lifestyle. And, they do not pressure you to buy product, but have good products there for purchase. The environment is casual -- no spa environment here, but you will be pleased with the results without breaking the bank. Come see for yourself. read more

I have been going here for 30+ years, since high school. Rocky and Jackie are the best! I used to have Dominic give me flat tops :-) Thuy is awesome too! read more

I really do not know where to start and I really don't want to give this Salon a terrible review when the review pertains to a certain stylist but I feel this is important to be made known. I at one time had a very good experience here so I went back, this time to a different stylist who was available at the time I walked in, but, I unfortunately had a terrible experience, left with a different hair cut, and had to pay twice. I went in with an image of what I wanted my hair to look like, I sat down with the next available stylist whom was a pretty Asian lady and showed her the hair cut I wanted and asked for a slight modification. She repeated what I had said in a rich accent and began to cut my hair. I thought we were on the same page as she started to cut my hair. Like most salons, I was facing the mirror and had no idea what the back looked like. She snipped here and there and I noticed something that seemed off so I inquired. I asked to make sure she was delivering the cut I expected and she assured me she had to cut it that way to get the cut I wanted. I trusted this and sat back but as she continued the cut I was sure this wasn't right but fixable because it was longer in length than I wanted and the wrong angle. I let her know that I was expecting something different and more like the picture. This was the point of no return. I don't know what went wrong here but her disposition totally changed when I let her know my concern and that I wasn't satisfied with the cut. She went from nice to defensive in an instant, possibly because we were not understanding each other completely, but I feel 100% that the reaction I received was not ok. She blamed me and sat there trying to convince me that I was wrong even after I had showed her a picture of what I wanted I explained I wanted the layers longer than the picture but I received a completely different style of cut, 100%. She told me, "You don't even know what you want". She sat there trying to over talk me and put me in the wrong in front of other stylist and in front of other customers rather than help me fix the issue. I tried to explain myself and she yelled at me. She started to back me into a corner and confuse me to where I began to think I didn't even know what I was doing anymore. I was so baffled and confused by her reaction. Another lady came over to help, she worked at the salon and I have no idea if she was another dresser or not but she definitely worked there and she somewhat defused the situation but not completely. The stylist I had started to cut my hair again after the three of us came to an agreement about the fix but it was still not what I wanted. When she was finished, my hair was still far from what I wanted but I just wanted to get the hell out of that place. I told her I loved it and walked away to pay. She made me pay twice because she had to make the cut shorter and a different angle. I've gone days with the experience popping into my head over and over again. I've tried to understand it better but I still feel absolutely drained and upset about it. I not only had a terrible experience but I had to pay double. I will not be going back to that salon. read more

I'd give them a zero stars if I could! Rude Rude Rude. My hair is a challenge to say the least and I do my color myself most of the time due to cost. I am going to a wedding next weekend and really wanted some help with my hair color. The women in there all reprimanded me about doing my own hair and basically made me feel horrible. The worst of it is they belittled and embarrassed me in front of my husband. I LEFT IN TEARS. This is a customer service oriented field and this salon failed miserably. I will NEVER go back. It's a shame because I have been in for haircuts and one of the girls is so sweet but of course she was not there today. My son will NEVER get his hair cut there again and I will do my best to warn future customers about their "mean girl" attitudes. Women with feelings beware! read more

You can not go wrong with any one of the stylists working here! My husband has been going here for over 20 years, we make the trek all the way from Jamul every six weeks (or so). read more

Thuy, at Hair International, did a perm for me today. She is very nice and does great work. She was highly recommended and I understand why. She cares what her work looks like and my perm looks amazing. Today was my first appointment with her. I watched her cut someone elses hair before my appointment. She definitely knows what she's doing. read more

My mom took me here, I take my family here. Plain and simple. This place is great and has been around forever. The girls are always friendly and do a great job at an affordable family price. Can't beat it! read more

Wonderful place!! Super affordable prices! All the stylist take there time and give a great haircut unlike many of the "chain" haircut stores. read more

Rocky's Hair Intl has been around for decades. I went to this place before he bought it because it was near my home but, almost 25 years later, I still make a special trip across town to have Thy cut my hair (what's left of it!). Of the stylists there currently that I know, I strongly recommend Thy, Rocky (owner), and Candy. Rocky only comes in rarely but if you get a chance, have him cut your hair. He's a little more "old school" and I've always been satisfied with his work. I'm sure the others do a fine job too but I don't have any experience with them. It's not the cheap Fantastic Sam's type of place with newbies and you can be assured of getting a professional cut. Women are in there all the time for perms and such, as well. I spend $22 for a shampoo, cut and style and tip $3.00. read more

Been going here forever. All the women are extremely talented! I see Kelly she is super nice and ive literally never had a better hair cut in my life ! Prices are extremely reasonable read more

This place is exactly what I've been looking for. I recommend Kelly. She is amazing! Customer service is exceptional. She treated me so well. She listened to all my requests and delivered them to a perfection. The rest of the staff is kind and helpful as well. A great place overall. read more

I recently moved to the El Cajon area and asked my brother who cuts his hair as I have noted on a number of occasions that I really like his haircuts. Hair International was his response. He has been seeing "T" for many years there. So, I thought I would give "T" a try and I was not disappointed. She did a great job and was very friendly. I'll be back! read more

This is always where I go for a great haircut at a great price! Usually I have Rocky, who's the best, in my opinion. But I had to settle for someone else today because Rocky wasn't working and I needed a haircut badly. "L" doesn't talk. Usually I don't mind, but some small talk would've been nice. As a stylist, I give her only 2 stars. She stacked the back cute. But the bangs were nothing like the picture. I had to go home and cut them myself. I told her I didn't like hair falling all over my face when I workout. The bangs were totally half-a$$ed. I feel I over tipped her. read more
