This review is for Marcie. I went in to cut my medium-length hair into a pixie cut. For a first-time pixie in almost 7 years, she gave me one that I really liked right out of the chair. I've been receiving compliments left and right. Can't recommend her enough! read more

Marcie has been doing my hair for years. I always walk away happy. Beautiful cut and or color every time. The salon atmosphere is inviting, chic, and comfortable. Went today after work. Kind of a treat after a long day. read more

2.5 years later and still coming to Amy at pixie !! Literally my whole family now sees Amy for hair !! I highly recommend !!

Trying a new hair salon let alone a new hairdresser is always risky... but I decided to try out Marcie because of a recommendation from my previous hairdresser, and now I am absolutely hooked! The salon and staff were both amazing and I was extremely pleased with the service. I walked in and Marcie introduced herself and was extremely friendly. When I sat down, she offered me tea or water... now come on, in how many hair salons do you get that kind of service?! She must have known caffeine is the way to my heart. I went in for a pretty drastic haircut because I was donating it to locks of love, and I wasn't sure of the style I wanted. I told her kinda sorta what I was looking for and she hit it right on the nail. She was very personable, easy to get along with, and a fun person to hang out with! read more

Marcie has cut my hair twice now and all I can say is that she is delightful and professional in listening to my hair styling needs. I felt so comfortable after my 1st haircut that today I sat on her chair and told her I trusted her to cut my hair as she thought it should be styled. I'm grateful to have been referred to a great new stylist that I can trust and I would highly recommend her to friends/family. read more

Marcie gave my hair life again I had long hair, but it was dry, tangled easily, and just looked horrible. She did a great job and was very sweet. This salon is so cute and right in the heart of South Park. The interior is so beautiful and everyone there is really nice. My new favorite hair salon in San Diego! read more

Pixie Salon - Before and after haircut by Marcie - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I had such high hopes for this place, but I left very disappointed. I went to get balayage, I even sent a picture of what I wanted. I wanted copper/burgundy balayage but I left with my hair just dyed red. I also got a hair cut, I was very specific about not wanting a straight cut and yet that's what I left with. I ended up paying over $130 and spending 3+ hours there for color that I could have easily done myself at home and a cut I am unhappy with. Also, it's been about 5 days since and the color continues to bleed out from my hair ruining towels of mine. I have had my hair dyed many times and this has never happened to me before. I'm not going back and I will tell others not to go here either. read more

I really enjoyed my pedi by Yanina yesterday. Her cute little area is private & in the back of the Pixie salon. The room is relaxing, smells great and overlooks the patio. Also, there is plenty street parking. Yanina was so sweet and my toes look so cute! She uses Zoya polish and essential oils for her pedicures. She was friendly, easygoing and she offers online bookings. I was offered something to drink when I first arrived and was treated to a nice cup of coffee freshly brewed from a french press. I was very impressed with the whole relaxing experience. I'd highly recommend getting some tlc from Yanina. read more

This place is fantastic! I had my curly hair cut, re-styled, and re-highlighted by Paula Diamond (real name) several weeks ago and I can finally rest well knowing that I've found My Salon in San Diego. Especially after my first experience in trying a new salon was such a dud. The owners are friendly (and from WI--bonus!) and the place is cute and fun without being over the top noisy/trendy/hipster/snoozer. Paula was a hoot--this woman has the energy of a pixie-sticked grade school kid, and I was her last appointment of the evening! She took her time, made gradual changes on my very curly hair and told me every five minutes what a blast she was having cutting my hair. I think she was more excited about my new 'do than I was--and I was, to use her fave word, "stoked" myself. I asked for a partial highlight and Paula added some fresh highlights in addition to revitalizing the dark and embarrassing beanie of roots I'd been sporting for a good six weeks. She gave me a great cut, exactly what I asked for, and spent over two hours making sure I was enjoying myself and I was happy with the result. All for $90, a great deal. I will happily go back to Pixies and am doing my best to spread the word about their fantasticness. The other reviews speak to their other services, including selling products (B&B) and local art. For those of you yelpers who did a search for "CURLY HAIR," your search can stop now--call Pixies, go for Paula (though I'm confident that the other ladies are just as good), and go relax, knowing that your ringlets, curly-q's, stubborn wavy-but-not-curly locks and everything in between will be in safe and fun-loving hands. read more

I have to start by saying that I haven't received any services from Pixie Salon. But, it's not for lack of trying to get in. I called yesterday afternoon to make an appointment with Jenny. The receptionist informed me that Jenny likes to make her own appointments and that she would give her a message. That was Wednesday. This morning, Thursday, I looked at the website that I said I could contact her via email. So, I sent an email. No reply. It is now almost 10pm on Thursday night. I wanted to try a new salon in the neighborhood. Since it's only four blocks away from my house, I thought I would give it a try. You would think that an owner of a salon would return a call or if she wasn't taking new clients, maybe recommend another stylist or something. I guess I can take a hint. I guess they have enough business and don't need mine. I'm very disappointed with my little neighborhood establishment. read more

Having just moved from NYC to San Diego, i was informed by a fellow NY-er that finding a good haircut and color was difficult in SD. Looking at her recent haircut, I admit I was scared. But I am a hair junkie and after spending 3 days moving into a crappy South Park apartment, I needed major therapy. I was crying to the woman that was there first thing in the morning. She made a call and Amy drove in to see me on her day off. I was grateful, and after the cut and eventual color, I was in love. I go every month now...Hey, a gal has to feed her addiction and hair stylists are incredible enablers! I have even recommended Amy and Pixie to new friends and family from North County. Usually I keep these things a secret but after many "great hair" compliments, I couldn't hold my friends at bay any longer, and I broke down. Prices are great, atmosphere is very cool and they even have spa services (that I have yet to try but will very soon!). ***UPDATE*** This past Friday I experienced the hands of Monique-on my skin people. Her facial was amazing, relaxing and surprisingly educational. Monique sits with you before assessing your skin and asks questions about your routine, what you have tried and what you find works. Extractions, pain free. Seriously. I told her that she has the most soothing way of extracting. If I said an "ow" (which I am a baby and feel the pain before it occurs), she was quick to "shuuush, it's okay". Like mom, but she is too young. Afterwards, Monique sat and discussed what she used on my skin. No hard sell here, she recommended her line as well as suggested drugstore brands. Monique also suggested supplements such as probiotics and wheat germ. It was very interesting, I never felt rushed and you can't beat the price, $70 for 70 minutes. I am planning to convert my roommate and friends! read more

Monique Motley, esthetician: knowledgeable, gentle, soothing, friendly. I have been seeing Monique for about a year, I would guess. Every time I see her my brows look fabulous. I have recently started seeing her for facials and I can't believe that prior to seeing Monique, I have never had a facial before! I'm a talker and question asker, so during the facial, I'm always saying, "What's that?" and "Now, what are you doing?" Her knowledge of the products she uses is vast, as is her knowledge of the industry. I've recommended her to several of my friends, all of which loyally continue to use her. Book today. She'll make you feel beautiful. read more

Michelle is awesome! And such an amazingly sweet person to top it off - the perfect combo in a stylist :-) Warning: she is so awesome, that she can be difficult to get an appointment in short order. Plan ahead and you will be thankful. A friend of mine (whose hair always garners attention for its sleek and sexy cut) recommended Michelle, and though I felt rather apprehensive due to the whole "you can't cheat on your hairstylist" gig in these parts, I gave her a shot. The world was in a happy place that day: I finally had an idea of what I wanted, and was able to express this in a fashion that a stylist could understand and create on my own head and a new stylist to give me that extra zing in a new cut. Michelle did exactly what I was hoping for, and it was an enjoyable time during it - perfect! I believe 2 of her sisters also work at Pixie and have their own loyal following. Cute salon in South Park; park on the street a block away and it's easy breezy. The atmosphere of everyone who works there is casual, comfortable and lovable. They carry Bumble and Bumble products at reasonable prices. I am continually getting compliments on my new cut - thank you, Michelle! Michelle (and Pixie) are definitely on the top list to call for my regular cut and colour. read more

Pixie Salon is the best!!! I have been going here for about eight years. Before this, I could never find a stylist that actually gave me some style. Pixie Salon is located in South Park in a small set of buildings. The neighborhood is safe and there is a nice little cafe next door if you need a snack before your haircut. But they always have cookies, coffee and tea in the salon. Depending on the time of day, you may need to give yourself five minutes to find street parking, but there is usually parking in front and it is always at no cost. Amy R. is my stylist. She is so talented and is a great listener. She can make anything happen and she always has your best interests in mind. For instance, she steered me away from a Brazilian blowout. I have never been dissatisfied with her talents. She does great highlights. She is very versatile. She can go from trendy to conservative. I am able to text Amy to get appointments and she usually has the day and time that I need. I know that Amy and the other stylists stay up to date by attending styling conferences on a regular basis. Everyone that works there is very friendly. The shop has artistic decor that is always changing. It makes your whole experience entertaining. Although, I do miss the teal chaise lounge. They also give local artists space to hang their work. They also host a local artist who sells jewelry. There is even a cute little patio out back. They don't push their hair products, but they have everything you need, if you want to buy it. Overall, I highly recommend Pixie Salon and especially, Amy R! read more

This was my first time going to pixie salon. I was very nervous about trying a new stylist, but right away Marcie made me feel comfortable. I absolutely love my new cut and I will definitely be going back! read more

Pixie Salon - Hair cut by Marcie - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Paula is a goddess! I just have to rave about Paula. This is the first time I have had a haircut (short, cute!, chin-length, bob) where people are asking where I got my hair done. This is also the first time I walked out of any salon happy and was even happier the next day! She did a great job on the cut and I also got a glaze. She said she's raising prices up in June but she would be worth it at any price. Fun, friendly, attentive and talented. read more

About 3 years ago I moved down here from LA, where I had the BEST hair dresser. I had been going to her for years, and we had gotten to the point where I could just sit down and let her do whatever she wanted knowing it would look amazing. After coming down here and realizing how ridiculous driving two hours to go her my hair done was, I decided to bite the bullet and find someone down here. After a less than perfect experience at another salon, I found Pixie Salon. Michelle, the girl I now go to, is possibly even more amazing than my LA hairdresser! She always has an idea about something new to do (which is very important for someone like me, who gets bored easily), and my hair always looks great after. Even better, you always are offered coffee, tea, or water, the decor of the salon is really nice, and they're not that expensive (compared to what my San Diego friends say they pay to get their hair cut). I HIGHLY recommend Pixie Salon! read more

The prices are awesome compared to other places in the city.. and I can tell the quality of the hair products they use are top notch. I get my roots colored every month and the color never fades. Service- everyone there is so polite and they give you a 10-15 minute head massage while shampooing which is heavenly. read more

Kimberly was awesome. Took the time to really listen to what I wanted, then executed! Salon is adorable, great experience and great haircut. I think I found my salon! read more

I've had makeup services by Marcie, hair by Michelle & waxing/facial services from Monique. High-quality, lasting results. On my wedding day, I coordinated with Michelle & Marcie, and it was seamless, stress-free and fun. I see Monique for my eyebrows and highly recommend. She has a pleasant little room in the back of the salon that always smells good and I always leave feeling relaxed and calm. Lovely place to go and treat yourself! read more

Have had my hair cared for by Jenny since she was the new stylist in another Salon 1998 ish. She and a couple of the other women started this salon together and now myself, my mother and both my daughters get their hair done here. I know I can come in for my appt. and walk out beaming with happiness for my cut and style. Jenny has a great understanding of face shapes and hair types and when given free reign never ceases to amaze me. Place is clean and friendly and booking in advance is the best bet. Have recommended to friends and family for years. read more

I went at the end of January and had Jenny color my hair! It came out amazing! It has faded but color is still there more than 4 months later! Jenny was super friendly and the shop was super cute! Reasonable prices too! Totally recommend! I will be going back! read more

Pixie Salon now carries 1stitch2stitch accessories! What an adorable salon! Right as you walk in, you're greeted by the friendly staff and immediately feel welcome. The decor is trendy and so cute! The atmosphere of Pixie Salon exudes an air of openness and capability! read more

I've finally found a place and hairstylist to receive my repeat business! Since my lovely hairdresser lady relocated to another state, I've been hopping from 'dresser to 'dresser for the last 5+ years, never quite satisfied with either the environment, price or stylist... The search is over! Jennie is amazingly sweet. The cut she gave my hair unlocked all this natural curl that gives my hair so much body, and here I thought my hair was so flat and boring! I have my first repeat appointment coming up in a couple days and I look forward to mixing things up, knowing I'm in capable hands once again. It may sound silly, but it's such a relief! :) read more

Love, love, love Pixie. Michelle does my hair and the experience is a perfect combination of great conversation and care, and I always come out of there looking and feeling great. They support local South Park business, have a well designed space, and are reasonable for the high caliber of services they provide. Great job Pixie! read more

Wish I could give no or negative stars. Absolute disaster! Marci didn't listen to a word I had to say. For the first time ever I had to fight my credit card charge because as she said, "I don't give refunds". "I'll do it until I get it right". Last thing I wanted to do was spend anymore time in her chair than I needed to. Salon owner didn't help at all either. Decades of getting my hair cut and colored, I've never been treated so poorly. read more

Last month I visited Amy for a cut and color when my usual stylist was out of town. I was referred by a friend who sees Amy; that friend's hair is fabulous. My hair was fabulous too less than two hours later. Amy did a color correction on my too-blond hair and gave me a cut I'd been wanting. Amy is quiet and paid attention to my hair rather than chatting with other stylists. I felt no pressure to talk. I just relaxed. Awesome. read more

How can I even begin to thank Michele for being so awesomely talented? She is damn good at what she does! I live in Boston, but get my hair cut from her a couple times per year when visiting San Diego. I have curly hair and she is the only one I trust and the only person that has ever done a good job. This past weekend, I got married, and she did both my hair and my matron of honor's hair (picture is with succulent crown). It looked perfect - even better than I could have imagined!! Everyone commented on how nice my hair looked, and how it was very "me." Michele does a great job of matching your personality to a hairstyle that will match perfectly. My hair stayed in all day, and was even perfectly in place after a couple hours of dancing, including break dancing! I do not know how she does it, but it is like pure magic. That woman is incredible. Thank you SO much Michele!!! read more

I love Pixie and all the ladies that work here. I've been going to Haley for over 10 years and think she's amazing at what she does. The salon is so cute and well decorated, and the products they sell are great. read more

Kim is freaking fantastic. I've seen her twice now and she nailed my pixie cut both times. I have stick straight hair and have had my share of bad cuts from inexperienced stylists. Kim is a pro. She is precise, skilled and consistent, her prices are super reasonable and she's easy to talk to. Thrilled to have found her and highly recommend her! read more

I came in to transition my short bob into a short pixie. After looking at a few pictures Kim was able to create exactly what I wanted. She was a great conversationalist and took her time texturizing my thick hair. Really cleaned up my neckline and even showed me a few ways to style my new haircut. It was a great experience. read more
