This is the first review I have ever left because my hair did not come close to how I wanted it. I…read morepurchased the Groupon for balayage, cut, and blow dry. Since I had box dye in my hair, he informed me it would be an extra $70 for a color correction. After getting price estimates from other salons, this seemed like a decent price for my budget. I did my research and looked over his website, Yelp reviews, etc. and the photos impressed me and led me to believe he would produce the balayage I wanted. I didn't mind the price for everything I was getting. I sent David photos of how I wanted my hair a few months before I scheduled the appointment. I have been saving up money and planning this treatment for five months which is perhaps why I'm so upset about the original results from my first appointment. When I walked in he briefly welcomed me and then immediately asked me what I wanted done. Since I've been planning this treatment for so long I had a Pinterest album of similar balayages (not to mention he already had the photo in our thread). He took one glance and got started which made me nervous but I trusted him as a professional. Throughout the treatment there was no communication regarding color, length cut, or anything like that. We sat in silence for 80% of my 3 hr. appointment. We made small talk and I asked him about after care, what he was putting in my hair, etc. He curled my hair and when I turned around and saw my hair for the first time I noticed it was WAY lighter than I expected, but I did like it. I left the salon happy. But I never curl my hair so when I saw it natural (wavy/straight), I could see how messy and amateur it looked. There were chunks reaching up to my roots and he basically dyed the bottom half of my hair a rainbow of blonde colors. NOT a balayage. I left a short review on the website and he text me shortly after with a long reply. I sent him photos of how my hair looked and the photo I originally sent him of what I wanted. He offered to fix it for free, so I went back in. Before my appointment he text me to confirm and said "Would be great if you could take down your review," but I'm glad I waited until after the second appointment to review him again. This time the communication was better, however now that a day has passed I see that my hair is still not where I want it to be since he bleached the whole bottom half and effectively made it difficult to achieve a balayage with just toner. I do understand that I did tell David I liked my hair in the salon because at that point I was fed up and wouldn't bother to have him fix it since he already comped this appointment and spent his time fixing it. Overall it looks much better now and is healthy after I cut 4 inches off (which I did to get rid of the dead bleached hair), but I am still going to get it fixed by another hair dresser. Not only that but I asked him for long layers in my hair cut but my hair is all one length. At the end of the day, if you go to David, just make sure you are clear about what you want because otherwise from what I can tell in other reviews he is a good hairdresser.

His work truly shows in the time that goes into the consultation to make sure I get what I want. My roots were extremely grown out, the ends were dry, and the color was brassy. Jorge did his thing and brought my hair back to life! I'm totally comfortable at this salon as I wouldn't normally go to one in downtown. They make sure the door is locked for safety reasons. Downtown is hectic for parking but there are spots across the street and nearby to park for free like I did so. It's really cute and has great lighting inside for taking pictures of your new hair! I love that they offered me a beverage for the long appointment ahead. If you're looking to go blonde, Jorge (insta: boybraids) is your go to!

The right stylist is someone who's not only highly skilled, but also consistent, detail-oriented, and able to perform under pressure. That's exactly who Nicole Alex is. Nicole has been my go-to for haircuts and color for nearly 10 years, and I can honestly say she continues to impress me with her talent and professionalism. I'll admit I'm not the easiest client--my hair is extremely coarse, thick, and often damaged, and I'm not always the most punctual. Despite these challenges, Nicole always treats every appointment with care, patience, and precision. Whether I'm coming in after weeks of being out of town or squeezing in a last-minute session, she never cuts corners . Her work is always meticulous, and the results speak for themselves. I've worked with many stylists over the years, but none have come close to the level of quality and consistency Nicole provides. If you're new to San Diego, visiting, or a local who still hasn't found that one stylist who truly checks all the boxes--look no further. Nicole Alex is the real deal. Once you sit in her chair, you'll understand why I, and so many others, continue to choose her time and time again. She's simply exceptional.

I booked an appointment at Sax Hair Salon specifically because Steve claims to specialize in grey…read moreblending. What I experienced at the hands of Steve and his staff was an absolute nightmare that resulted in severe chemical burns, leaving my hair completely fried and feeling like wire. Looking back, I deeply regret ignoring the initial red flags. Steve spent most of the appointment on his phone while he worked. Because I always try to see the good in people and give them the benefit of the doubt, I stayed in the chair. It completely backfired, and I am deeply disappointed. The lack of professionalism and basic competence from the entire team was shocking. After the first round of bleaching, his assistant rinsed my hair and brought me back to the station. Steve proceeded to aggressively brush my hair. As entire clumps of my hair were actively falling out, he looked at me and falsely claimed, "it's totally normal." He then stated he was going to bleach a remaining dark band of color, but instead, I watched him and his assistant blindly redo the entire strand. I trusted his judgment simply because he is supposed to be the "professional." The mistakes only escalated during the toner application, which was handled by his two assistants. They acted like silent, unengaging robots, completely ignoring me throughout the process. They entirely missed the bottom section of my neck, leaving terrible, uneven splotches throughout my hair. Furthermore, I explicitly instructed them not to put toner on my natural greys. They completely ignored my request, leaving an extremely noticeable, botched patch on the side of my head. When I pointed it out, they casually brushed it off and told me it would "eventually fade." The absolute breaking point was the blowout. Steve and two of his assistants began blow-drying my hair. As the assistants yanked aggressively on my severely compromised strands, smoke literally began rising from my head. Seeing the smoke, the botched toner, the splotches, and the sheer extent of the chemical destruction, I told them to STOP and burst into tears right there in the chair. This is not a professional crew. If Steve could not handle the technical challenge of working on my hair, it would have been perfectly acceptable for him to just say no. why would a team of "professionals "would treat my hair with such complete disregard. Steve fully acknowledged the severity of the damage by refunding my deposit, waiving the service fee, and even offering to pay for hair extensions. But why would I even accept him paying for extensions? My hair was long, healthy when I walked into his salon; I didn't need extensions before he ruined it. Furthermore, I wouldn't trust anyone he knows to touch my hair. While I recognize he knew he was in the wrong, a refund and an offer for extensions do not change the fact that my hair is destroyed. He asked for an opportunity to "fix it," but the trust is entirely gone; there will absolutely not be a second chance. This entire experience was easily one of the worst days of my life. I am an emotional wreck every single time I look in the mirror. My friends and family have looked at his Instagram page and are completely disgusted by what he did to me. Because of their incompetence, I have already been forced to chop my hair off and spend $875.00 out of pocket on specialized repair products just to salvage what is left. I wouldn't even send my worst enemy there. Buyer beware. Avoid this establishment at all costs.
