Ugh. I came in with a very specific formula. As I try and be as blonde as possible. The reason I…read moregave the formula is because that is exactly what I wanted. My hair dresser is out of town with an emergency. So I came here. The owner is nice I just wish she had listened. I didn't want my hair darker in any way shape or form. I wanted it exactly how I always have it, as blonde as possible. Why would I want my hair any darker? Why? I wanted platinum blonde which it was. Why would you put brown low lights in a platinum blonde? My real hair dresser gave me the formula all you had to do was follow it! I spent money, tipped you 20% and now I have to go get my hair fixed. I didnt ask you to do whatever you wanted to my hair. I showed you a formula and wanted you to follow it. Its my hair. Im the one paying for it. I have had it platinum blonde for a very long time! Why would you make my hair darker? I didnt want it any darker. I wanted the exact same color that it was. Ugh. The more I look in the mirror the more angry I get. I dont recommend going here if you are a blonde. Or if you want your hair the way that you want it. I seriously dont understand. Why would you ruin my hair? The place is clean. She was friendly but I am beyond mad. I didnt ask for anything to change about my hair just to touch up my roots.

If you know anything about me, you are well aware of how much I absolutely hate getting my hair…read morecut. I prefer my hair long and I feel like no one gets it right and cuts off too much or doesn't understand what I'm asking for. I still have to get my hair cut, though, to clean up the dead ends. I was previously traveling to Orange County from SD because I hadn't found anyone in SD yet, so I gave ARCS a shot simply because their (previous) location was walking distance from my house. I have never looked back. I landed in Mace's godly hands and I am thrilled and relieved after three decades I have finally found my dedicated hairdresser. The ARCS salon itself was amazing and I'm bummed they're no longer in that location, but I understand it was too big of a space and I'm excited for them at their new location. My favorite part about the ARCS experience is the hair wash. Unlike normal salons, ARCS has a beautiful, serene, spa-like space where they thoroughly wash and massage your scalp and even throw in a nice neck/shoulder massage too. It is absolutely heavenly. So heavenly, I sought a similar experience via a head spa in another city. Unfortunately this head spa experience was disastrous and they quite literally destroyed my hair. I wish I were joking or even exaggerating :( .... In comes Mace's heavenly self to the rescue. I immediately went to the ARCS website to book an appointment with Mace, but her first availability wasn't for another 17 days. I reached out to Mace directly, however it was on a Sunday (her day off). Nonetheless, she replied, and this angel on earth offered to stay late on Thursday, just for me. Those four days could not come soon enough. I didn't have much hope or expectation fully anticipated that she would have to chop off most of my hair. Bless her soul, an hour and twenty minutes later, she successfully untangled the rock of matted hair on my head and didn't even have to touch a pair of scissors. I can't rave enough about Mace - she's incredibly talented and super sweet. I highly recommend ARCS generally and an appointment with Mace specifically!

Every time I leave the salon, I feel so happy with my hair. It's not just about the results, it's about the whole experience.

I love both Jackie and Frankie! They're so sweet and have amazing personalities!…read more I have been seeing Jackie for probably more than 5 years and she just gets better and better! I trust her completely with my hair. I typically request the full balayage and each time she kills it with the color! I can show her a picture of what color I want and BOOM like that she gets my hair that color. She's so great! :) At this point, I have sent all of my friends to her and all of them rave about how amazing she is! :) So definitely 10/10 recommend.

I have been a client of theirs for over 5 years now and I have never left not completely feeling myself (I coined the pet name "hair magician" for my girl Jackie). They are both incredibly, meticulously professional. They are experts at what they do and they make sure to stay on top of what's going on in their field. That being said, going to their ridiculously cute salon is like a moment, they always have the wine waiting for me and I always prepare myself for an especially good time. For the caliber of work that they do, their pricing is sure fair and actually quite cheaper than other salons in the San Diego area. They are always available for their clients...literally I text Jackie more than I probably should (late night single girl thoughts are not under her "services" nor do I pay extra for that). Anyway, what are you waiting for?! Don't pass go, don't collect $200, Go book either one of these hair magicians and leave looking like $200+....like now, yes now, no seriously go do it like now!

I would travel anywhere for Sandy to do my hair!…read more Before finding her, I tried out a handful of stylists in San Diego. I have dark Asian hair and found that I'd often leave a color session feeling brassy or too blonde. Thankfully, I found Sandy almost 8 years ago and now, there's no one else I'd trust with my hair. She does such a great job and has an incredible eye for detail, ensuring you always get your perfect match. Whether it's balayage, a toner touch-up, or a fresh chop, she always listens and delivers results that leave me feeling my absolute best. Even when I'm not sure what I want, she offers helpful suggestions and would never guide you astray! She is truly a master at her craft. Sandy's done my hair before all my major life events- from engagement photos to getting married, I know that I can trust Sandy. Besides being incredible at what she does, she's also just an all around amazing human. If you're going to spend a few hours in a chair, you want to go to someone you enjoy spending the time with. That's Sandy!
