Thursday, at my request, I was kindly given a last minute appointment change, that was previously booked by me for Monday 4th December. Due to a sick dog, I had one chance to see Emarie. My hair stylist for over three years now; I was first introduced to Emarie by a complete stranger, who I noticed had the most amazing hair! I have to say, I am very grateful for that because of Emarie's brilliant expertise on cut and colour! What is so important to mention is that Emarie cares, listens, has pride in her work, and will go out of her way to get the style, cut, and colour you have dreamed of. I moved house last year to Northern California, I now travel to see Emarie for appointments,...yes I fly Southwest to San Diego, and before you think I have too much time or money (which I truly do not) I actually do this because I have the "best hair stylist in the world." read more

Emarie is the absolute best! I've been going to her and only her for 5+ years. She truely cares about the integrity of my hair. I am in her chair every 5-6 weeks because I have extensions and get platinum highlights. This is the healthiest and longest my hair has ever been! She is also great company and we have a lot of laughs! I always look forward to hair day! read more

I got really lucky when I moved here 3 years ago and found a flyer for a discounted hair cut in the lobby of my condo. My adhd is horrible when I am getting a haircut so very few people in my life have been able to successfully cut my hair. I went to this lady and she was bomb.com You do not just get a haircut. If you have the self confidence, allow Emarie to give you a new hairstyle. I had no idea the difference between just a regular hair cut and an actual cut and style... Until Emarie; until Now! She said how do you want it today? So I responded "surprise me." Now I have a fresh look and more confidence, all from what I thought was just the monthly hair cut. Random strangers have positively commented on my hair and I would have never in a million years told her to do what she did. I have been going to Emarie for over 2 years now and I have nothing but awesome things to say about her and her services. She is very easy to schedule with and Never cancels! She is very professional with a hilarious demeanor and clutch comedic timing to help the time go by. The prices are always fair. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you give her a try. Thank you Emarie! read more

This magician of all things gorgeous hair is an incredibly talented hairstylist and colorist! She is always abreast the newest trends and has never done me wrong when I ask her to give me a new look. She keeps things light and fun at her salon always making me laugh but has also been a voice of reason when I've needed to vent during my hair appointments, some call it therapy. Lol! Whether you're looking for just a root touch up, a haircut, balayage, a blowout or a medley of colors to full on change your hair color...you'll be happy you met Emarie! Bring her a picture of what you want, she'll wave that magic wand of hers and MAKE IT HAPPEN. No joke!! She is truly an expert in her craft. I get to call her my friend and I'm so lucky to have her in my life. You will too, I promise! Thank you Emarie for always making me look Fab! read more

After years of going to Emarie, I still love the results! Always on point and current on hair trends, she always knows how to keep progressing my look. As I've said before, I've had my hair cut by some of the best in LA and have been happier with what Emarie could accomplish. Her prices are also very reasonable and IMO, think she could be charging more! Guys, don't be afraid to try some color with her. It's really added some dimension to my style. Thank you Emarie! read more

I've been going to Emarie for some time, the majority during COVID, so we never really saw each other's full face until recent, LOL. During stressful or celebratory times, she has remained my constant! -always working with my schedule and keeping my hair's health as priority number one. She will spend the time explaining to me the unique color processing of my hair, and has been great on keeping me on-point with realistic ideas and outcomes. Great colorist, I recommend her 100% read more

Let me just get this out of the way first: I've never been loyal to a hairstylist. Until Emarie. One of the reasons why I have issues with most hairstylists (and maybe this is Bay Area hairstylists? I moved down to San Diego from there) is that they have a lot of opinions about what they want you to look like. Part of it is my fault probably though, since I'm one of those people who inherently trusts beauty professionals even when they have me going home with a haircut I had when I was 12-years-old. Back to Emarie. I came upon her by chance after moving down to San Diego a few months ago and decided to give her a try because of all her glowing Yelp ratings. I not only felt valued and comfortable when I sat down for my first haircut with Emarie, but I also felt that she was actually listening to me and giving me great advice. It's been such a refreshing experience that I honestly haven't gone to anyone since. Emarie has cut my hair, dyed it purple, dyed it again, and I'm going back to her soon to get a last-minute cut and tone before my wedding. Also, her salon (HEX) is SO CUTE. read more

Emarie is my hair savior. I originally found her on Yelp while I was in San Diego for job interviews before I moved from San Francisco. Two years later and Emarie is the hands down best stylist I've ever had. I've come to her wanting to go from long hair to an asymmetrical bob to growing out that bob to color correcting after destroying my hair with bleach and green dye at the hands of the students at the Paul Mitchell school and Emarie slays EVERY TIME. I have massive amounts of super thick Asian hair and for the past...hmm maybe since the beginning of the year have been rocking a sweet undercut that has made managing and styling my hair soo much easier. And I never would've known about that style if Emarie hadn't suggested it! I trust her completely with my hair. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Emarie and Hex Salon. Hex Salon is the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing day at the salon. The interior is bright, clean, modern and sparkling with personality! Emarie is an experienced, qualified and charming professional! She has been coloring my hair now for 3 years and each and every time I leave with a giant smile on my face and most importantly- stylish hair! Emarie takes the time to understand your vision, she makes amazing and creative suggestions/recommendations and then skillfully brings the desired look to life! We have experimented with highlights, lowlights, feathers, extensions and most recently...the color pink (photo below) which I love, love, love! Emarie is a distinguished professional in this biz! Highly recommended! read more

Hex Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Diego, California

It's always hard to find a new stylist when you move to a new city, and after a seriously botched haircut I made an appointment with Emalie. She was great! The comment from husband, "Is it longer?" No it's not! But because she cut it correctly she made it look thicker and longer. I am so happy with the cut. She even understood all the things I had been telling the previous person about my hair type and the type of cut that does well and doesn't do well - without me even saying anything, she pointed it out to me. She gave me options and made suggestions on the approach to fixing the cut. I also her apply ombre coloring to my hair and she did a great job. She knows what she is doing. I will definitely be returning! read more

Em is AMAZING!!! I took a shot and saw her review's on Yelp, picked up a coupon, and gave her a shot. Em even exceeded the high expectations that I had based on the review. She's so kewl and easy to get to know and develop that good chemistry that you need with a Great Stylist. We talked before we did anything, I did the whole makeover, color, cut & style. She recommended an approach on the color that was less expensive vs a full color since I had a lot of gray/white to deal with. He approach was lets see the cover and we'll go from there. If it doesn't cover well, we'll got to Plan B. I love that approach and she was spot on perfect. The color was great only to be outdone by the cut! I've had my had done traveling around the world at some of the best salon's in NYC, SF, London, Rome ... and with all those taken into account, Em is the Best!!! I've just got to San Diego a week ago, now I got my Style Girl!!! Complete trust and confidence in what she does and what she can do!!! Now I can take finding a Great Stylist off my list. Without doubt and any hesitation ... if you want a World Class Stylist at a Great Price, you will not be disappointed by selecting Em!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH EM!!! read more

I've been going Emarie to get my hair done since I moved to San Diego 7 years ago. I found her randomly by using a Groupon when she was at a different salon and have followed her through her journey to Hex. She always makes my hair look good! I've gone to Emarie and told her, "I need something new, but don't know what" and allowed her to have free reign. My hair always looks amazing when I leave her! Emarie agreed to do my hair for my wedding in June 2018 and made me feel so beautiful. My hair was styled perfectly and I couldn't be happier! My husband loved it too! If you're looking for someone just to cut your hair, OR a stylist, Emarie is definitely your girl! read more

Emarie is the real deal! She's very talented w/ color and beyond...she does an extraordinary job. My wife has long hair, in the past she struggled w/ other stylist, because they would cut too much off or do what they wanted. Emarie listens and does what you request. Her salon is very clean and cute. A true professional w/ extreme talent! read more

My wife and I and several friends have been getting our hair done by Emarie for several years now and I have to say that she is by far the best hairstylist I've ever had. She is patient and thorough. She listens to what you want and helps you figure it out if you don't. Super friendly. Great atmosphere in her salon. Always a wonderful experience. I highly recommend you at least give her a try :-) read more

Emarie is the best!! 10/10 Reccomended. She did an amazing job with my hair coloring and cut. She also was super accommodating and flexible when I wanted it darker after the initial toning. Loved her company during my appointments, she's my new gal! read more

Emarie is fabulous! She listened to what I was envisioning and provided suggestions on what she thought would look good. Emarie is very friendly and fun. This was my first time to see her and I will definitely be back. I just moved to San Diego from San Francisco, so I am thrilled to have found my new stylist! Thank you Emarie!!! read more

Getting a new hair stylist is like buying a bathing suit or bra or jeans. Us women dread it. Try to avoid it like the plague (is that even a thing anymore?). I was forced into trying out a new hair stylist because mine had to move to NorCal. It was a sad day. So, after letting my hair grow and get a bit stringy, I was forced with the task of finding a new person to handle my do. I was lucky enough to have close friends that had been going to their hair stylist for awhile and adored her. This is how I came across Emarie. I am not incredibly picky about my hair (it is hair, it will grow back) but Emarie is always meticulous in every step that she takes while completing your hair cut. Beginning with making sure both you and her have the same vision as far as what we see our fabulous look being when we prance out of the salon. I have been going to Emarie for a few years now and can honestly say I have loved every cut and color she has given me. When I first came to her, I was long, virgin hair and only wanted a trim. I have now gone from cutting off over (6) inches of hair, to bayalage and I even walked out of the salon once with a pink head of hair (non-permanent but still, a leap compared to the virgin hair we started with years ago). Emarie is competitive with her pricing and always a nice companion to chat it up with while being strapped (not really) to the chair. Let's face it, depending on what treatments/cuts you are having done, it can literally be hours at the salon. It is a bonus to have a not only a highly talented stylist but person you enjoy spending said hours with. If you are new to town or just bored with your current hair stylist, give Emarie a try. I promise she does not disappoint! read more

Hands down Em is the best hair stylist I've ever had. She has an amazing intuition and insight as to what the best cut for me was. I was hesitant but trusted her recommendation and couldn't be happier with the result. I've been referring my friends to her and everyone is signing her praises. It's hard to find a great talent combined with a great attitude with personality but she has always exceeded my expectations. read more

Very quick response time upon request for service. I would recommend this business for the professionalism. Thanks Emarie!

Emarie is super talented. She's been my stylist since I moved here from Switzerland and I wouldn't go to anyone else. She is precise, detailed and has a great sense of humor. She has given me great advice on hair style from her vast experience and it's always spot on! You'll never feel rushed and instead you'll think your walking out from a spa treatment when she's done. read more

This girl knows what she's doing! I've had long hair all my life. Finally decided to try the LOB late last year. I have been pretty loyal to Aveda salons for the past several years in Colorado so found one here in California. But this cut was really nothing special. I'd been admiring my friend's wavy bob for months. Finally got the courage to try it so asked where she goes. She led me to Emarie. So glad she did! Apparently my Aveda cut was a mess. Emarie got my hair all fixed up and after my cut last night, my hair now looks like the magazines. And, she spent TWO AND A HALF HOURS with me for just a cut! Who does that?? I'm used to being squeezed in an hour slot and given minimal attention. She knows what will look good with your face and hair texture. If she knows you won't like it, she won't do it. Check her out if you're looking...heck, even if you aren't. :-) read more

I was referred to emarie by a friend who had gone to her several times already. I've now been going to emarie a few times already and really am impressed with the hair cuts and highlights she has done for me . She's always really friendly and attentive and always puts a lot of consideration in how to style my hair. She even gives me tips on how to curl my hair at home . I highly recommend emarie ! read more

I've just gotten the best haircut and hair color style of my life! I would go on and on about how amazing Emarie is but you will only know if you make an appointment and see for yourself. It has been a privilege and I really hope she never moves from San Diego! read more

I moved to SD a few years ago and one of the first things I searched for was a new hair stylist - I know right priorities. I called around to a few places and did a few phone interviews. I found Emarie out in the fashion valley area and have never had a complaint or negative thought of the amazing work she has done. In fact the first few color and cuts I had were so great that I started placing all my trust and confidence in her creative suggesting. I have never had so many compliments on my hair style until I found Emarie. I have to add that I've sent friends to Emarie for horrible damage control other so called "stylists" in San Diego have done. These girls have also become loyal clients after seeing the talent she has. She has since then moved to the downtown area which was a great move! The new salon suits her trendiness and style. On top of that I can go out after my visit with her and flaunt the gorgeous new cut. I had an appointment a few weeks back and have to say that after all these years she continues to impress me with her amazing work. read more

I lived in San Diego for 4 years before I found Emarie- and as soon as I met her, I knew I found what I had been missing and stayed loyal until I had to move across the country. Not only is she extremely talented, but she is a great person to chat with during your time at the salon- which is a very important aspect of a visit to the salon! She is cool and interesting and always remembered what was going on in my life, despite the 3-4 months between our visits. Enough about her fabulous personality- on to her talent. I have a pretty straightforward hair cut- long layers with bangs. But I knew after getting my hair cut with Emarie, I would be happy until it was time to come back. Plus, it's easy to mess up the bang thing, and she never did :) and she also never yelled at me, as I frequently took it upon myself to trim my bangs, although she did it for free! I miss Emarie like whoa and I have yet to find a replacement in my new home, which is very sad for me and my hair. That being said, I'm sure there is no adequate replacement to be found! read more

I have never found a stylist that I liked until I started going to Emarie. She was recommended to me by a friend at work. I took a few photos of what I wanted my hair to look like and she got the color and cut perfectly. I have long hair and have had previous stylists cut way more than I ask when I get it trimmed. Emarie always takes the time to make sure she knows exactly what I want done and then she does it perfectly. I can't rave enough! Go have her do your hair!! read more

She is so awesome and friendly. Very talented. She knows her stuff. I've left every time very happy with my hair color and style. :) You should go to this hair stylist! She's the best!! read more

Emarie is seriously the best! Her salon is cute and cozy, and she is just the sweetest. I'm always looking to switch up my style and Emarie always executes better than my expectations. She lets me know what to expect and talks through options with changing colors and drastic cut changes. Im always in love with my hair when I leave and I get a ton of compliments every single time. Book with Emarie and you will not be disappointed! read more

I recently moved downtown and hadn't have my hair styled in several months. Long overdue! Found Emarie based on reviews and location. So glad I did! She is very skilled, patient, listens, takes her time, and I am thrilled with my look and style. I'll definitely be making another appointment down the road. Thank you Emarie!! read more

Emarie is AWESOME! new to the area and taking a chance on my hair seeing as my hairdresser of 12 years is 3,000miles away. took a chance based on prior reviews and grateful I did. She listens to your requests, talks it out with you, makes suggestions, and then puts it into play. She has an attention to detail and is a pleasure to chat with. very talented young lady. HIGHLY recommend!! read more

I was never one to keep going back to the same person for a haircut, until I met Emarie! She is great at what she does. She's so knowledgable and has given me great advice on what products to use for my hair. She also loves to teach you how to style your hair so you can look great everyday! She's so nice and personable, it would be impossible not to like her. Now I look forward to going for a haircut! read more

I have been going to Emarie for a few years now and she always delivers the best possible service. She is professional, on time, and gives me a great cut and style every time. I definitely recommend her if you are looking for a great stylist. read more
