    Maven Salon has such a unique and aesthetic vibe; it's amazing how they transformed what was once an auto repair shop into such a beautiful, modern space. The atmosphere is stylish yet welcoming. I've been going to Raeden for over 15 years, and I trust him with my life. He just gets it every time--whether it's a cut, color, or styling, he always makes me feel amazing. If you're looking for a talented stylist in the perfect setting, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

    I love this place and I love Teyah! What a sweet soul! I was looking for a new hair salon in the area and after my first appointment with her and her stunning personality I am so happy! She listens to exactly what I want and gave me a great cut on my curly hair! I'm back in this chair every 6 weeks on the dot to see my girl! Cant recommend this place enough!

    I have been going to Frankiann for years now, the woman is incredible. Even when I am unsure of what I want to do with my hair, she is very good at understanding my needs and helping direct me with her professional expertise. She is personable, makes me comfortable, and always makes me feel heard. I have done everything from bright blonde, to getting layers, trying bangs, to going back to brunette -- and she nails it every time. Maven Salon as a whole is such a soothing place to get your hair done. It has a lot of very talented hair gurus, but Frankie will always be my top girl

    Best first experience at Maven salon! Raeden was amazing. He goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable, he explains all the steps he is going to do, he takes time to listen to your wants and gives honest suggestions on what he feels is best for you and your hairstyle. End result was so good - thank you Raeden - your energy is infectious radiating with positivity. See you in December!

    I was way over due and had no dimension around my crown or face.

    Nicole killed it!!! My previous hairstylist changed careers and I was so apprehensive about letting someone else do my color. I started by coming in for a haircut so Nicole and I could talk about what I was wanting done. She showed me pictures of her work and explained the techniques and services she offered that aligned with what I was looking to achieve. Well today was my 1st time getting a Partial Hand Painted Balayage with Nicole and she knocked it out of the park. I'm so happy with the outcome, it was one of those moments that every angle I saw it at just kept getting better every turn, once the light hit the sparkle and depth of melted caramel and honey just had me like WOW. The salon is such a beautiful place, I love the open bright happy space. Felt like a true self care environment and energy. Nicole is so sweet and very talented. I'm just so impressed I can't say enough. I'm looking forward to my next full balayage appointment. So happy.

    balayage booked with teyah

    teyah has been the absolute best, she is new but literally born to do hair. my hair is the healthiest it's ever been while also still being blonde. teyah was the only stylist in san diego that got my hair back to healthy again. i love my girl!

    Amazing experience with Nicole Cournoyer. My favorite balayage, hands down, I've ever received, and I've been getting balayage for roughly the last 10 years. :) I found Nicole and the salon through Google and her work on instagram (@nkc_hair) while visiting in San Diego. Nicole had a warm, relaxed, inviting energy and she made space and time for me to show her and explain to her what I was hoping to accomplish without feeling rushed. She listened intently and presently, and she asked all the right questions to ensure I felt heard. She was very communicative and transparent about process, vision, pricing and how everything would work which eased any questions. Talking to her was a pleasure, and I absolutely LOVE my hair. She nailed the vision I was hoping for; my hair also feels super healthy which was important to me with going blonder. Overall, she was a joy to chat with, she finished my hair in about 2 hours, which is record timing for any balayage I've had, and my experience did not feel rushed at all. She accomplished the exact vision I wanted with ease and confidence. Will 100% be back when I officially make the move to SD. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful, natural balayage and great customer service! (The salon is also beautiful, clean and filled with plants and light, very inviting.)

    Maven's space!

    I've had such a great experience at Theory Hair Studio! Uyen does an amazing job every single time…read moreand really takes the time to listen to what you want. I especially appreciated all the help and advice she gave me for my thinning hair and scalp concerns. Her recommendations made a noticeable difference in the health and fullness of my hair. It's clear she genuinely cares about her clients, and I always leave feeling refreshed and confident. Highly recommend!

    I've been going to Uyen since 2021, and it's truly the most beautiful my hair has ever looked…read more My natural hair is very fine, and when I first came to her it was just past my shoulders. Uyen added extensions and created a gorgeous bronde color. Over the years we've tried different looks, from very blonde to closer to my natural dark blonde, and I loved it every time! What impressed me the most is how healthy my hair stayed the entire time. After wearing extensions for over two years, I took them out for a while and my natural hair actually looked about 30% thicker than before (The thickest it has ever been). I just got a new set of extensions again and absolutely love them. I went from short hair to almost waist length, and this time we did wavy extensions to match my natural texture. It came out beautifully - the color matches perfectly and it looks very natural, even when I let my hair air dry without styling. Uyen is incredibly attentive and works very meticulously. She really listens and takes the time to make everything blend perfectly. I completely trust her with my hair and highly recommend her, especially if you have fine hair and are considering extensions.

    I had two recent appointments here and unfortunately had a very poor experience…read more I paid over $600 for lightening and vivid color services, expecting to work directly with the owner. However, significant portions of the service were performed by an assistant without my consent. The appointments were also heavily overbooked--I spent over 10 hours in the salon across two visits, much of that time waiting. More concerning was the outcome. My hair has sustained significant damage, including breakage in the front where an entire layer was overprocessed and broke off, requiring me to cut bangs to cover it. The overall condition of my hair is now extremely dry, brittle, and straw-like--the worst it has been in over 25 years of coloring my hair. There were also technical issues during the service. My color was rinsed prematurely, which removed pigment and required reapplication, leading to additional unnecessary processing. My eyebrows were also affected during the service and had to be corrected afterward at my own expense. I reached out directly to try to resolve this, but was only offered a partial refund that does not reflect the extent of the damage or the corrective work now required. He damaged my hair beyond repair and now refuses to even take accountability and refund me - so that I can attempt to begin the healing journey for my hair. When I attempted to resolve this directly, my concerns were dismissed and I was offered only a minimal partial refund that did not reflect the outcome. The tone of the response did not feel professional or solution-oriented. There is no amount of money that can reverse the damage to my hair, but a full refund would be a reasonable acknowledgment of the outcome and the cost now required to correct it.

    When I first went here, the place gave some really good, high quality haircuts. The last few…read morevisits, however, not so much. I used to get my haircut from the owner, Freddy, who seemed to do a really good job at cutting, while also seemingly personable and talking to me about my day, and what's been going on. As time went on though, and considering how far I would have to drive to downtown and get a haircut, things started to fall off. I would always make sure to put myself down for an appointment but I would often have to wait for another client who he would be running over with on time. Once maybe twice is okay (I went for around 10 appointments or so), but it was pretty much every time I went I had to wait an extra 5-15 minutes before I was in the chair. Some haircuts turned out really good, and others were a little sloppy and seemed rushed since he was already over on his time and had to compensate somewhere, which I guess was sometimes me. I also went to try out the perm hairstyle and got it done by Sheila, but the perm was $200~ and ended up only lasting maybe 2-3 months despite delicate care in the process to make it stay longer. The way she did it also didn't seem to be the best since a lot of the curls were really loose even though I told her I wanted it to last a while (especially considering the price). Maybe I was the one-off that ended up not staying or looking good with perms, but I was pretty disappointed with it. Only thing I can really note that was good was that I think it helped with some texturing of my hair to not be so straight all the time. I believe the vibe of this location is good, but definitely got loud since they shared the space with 2 other businesses and also had a gym studio move in above them causing a lot of extra noise. I'm seeing now they have a new location (I only went to the old spot) which would make this issue hopefully non-existent. Since I always went out of my way to come get my haircut here, it was showing some serious diminishing returns compared to just finding a location closer which I eventually did after I moved. I believe Freddy and his team will continue to have success, but I will not be coming here anymore due to repeated issues I was having.

She not only does an amazing job at making your hair fantasy real, but she does what's best to keep your hair healthy for a long period of time. She provides recommendations so you don't kill your hair and is honest about repercussions if you want to do something harmful to your hair. But gives you space to know it's still, your choice at the end of the day. This is why I did invisible bead extensions! I've colored my hair for years and it's become damaged & thin, but i love long & blonde hair so much. So, getting extensions was the best step forward. She handsewn extensions into my hair, the extensions were tight only for the first day, but now I forget I have them unless I touch my head. She did a great job and They, the extensions, are amazing !!
