I relocated recently to San Diego and was suggested this salon, especially with the stylist Andre. I was warmly greeted by the owner himself who kindly showed me to Andre's station and got me water as I arrived. He also was so kind to give me some restaurant suggestions in the area where I moved. Andre applied my base color for blonde with some pops of highlights and did a stellar quality job. He's such a sweetheart & listens to you as the client. And, for all you blondes out there, you know you are particular about the tones and shade of your blonde! Andre is very thoughtful & caring about color and will make you feel absolutely beautiful in all of your blondeness! I know he did that for me :) highly recommend! The vibe of the salon is great, a lot of true artists. It's a fun and relaxing experience. There's also parking behind the salon- total bonus !! read more

Absolutely spectacular haircut every time. My Stylist, Sylkie, is consistently fabulous. Not just me thinking it's true but numerous people during the month coming up to me to tell me my haircut is awesome! She listens to what you want and actually confers with you. I've never waited more than 5 min and parking is easy. I'm so glad I found Sylkie. I love my haircut every time ! read more

I have been getting my highlights, cuts, and now extensions with Jeff for at least 2 years now and won't go any where else! Jeff has great attention to detail, caters to my ever-changing hair goals, and has helped me improve the health of my hair with his skills and product recommendations. He is very easy to book with directly and compared to other places I've been in SD, very responsibly priced! The salon has off street parking and easy to get to as well. I recommend him to anyone! read more

I recently moved to Bethesda, MD, but I still made a point to go back to San Diego to see Jeff for my hair--and that says everything. Jeff has been coloring and cutting my curly hair for years, and no one does it better. He truly understands curls, which is rare, and always knows exactly how to shape, style, and bring them to life. My color is absolutely gorgeous--rich, dimensional, and perfectly suited to me. The cut is fabulous: flattering, easy to wear, and my curls have never looked better. I walked out feeling confident and refreshed. Jeff is incredibly talented, consistent, and worth traveling across the country for. If you have curly hair and want someone who genuinely knows what they're doing, Jeff is your person. Highly recommend! read more

My friend referred me to this salon and to Jeff (Urbanski). First time I came, I wasn't even scheduled and my friend just wanted me to meet him. I had a vacation coming up and he felt bad for me and eventually decided to take me in. He was so nice. Even without a schedule, he gave me the full service. He is very nice, and engaging. It's never a boring appointment when I get my hair done by him. I wish I took a before and after but this is the picture I have. My hair was rejuvenated and now i just need to keep up with styling it since I always have it in a bun. ‍ The salon has street parking around it and a parking lot behind. It is very nice and clean and everyone that works there is so very nice and pleasant. Please come see Jeff, you won't regret it! read more

I only trust my hair to Jeff at Richard Joseph salon! The vibe and the atmosphere at is amazing. Jeff is incredible and is unlike any other stylist I've ever been to! As I have aged, my hair has thinned. After a horrible past experience with extensions, I was apprehensive. However, after seeing Jeff at the salon, he's totally changed my opinion about tape in extensions, and I have regained my confidence! He has been doing my extensions for years and I receive so many compliments. In fact, it's so natural looking, no one ever believes that I even have extensions. He takes his time and really is attentive to your needs. If you're looking for incredible service with exceptional skills, Jeff is your man! read more

I highly recommend Nick Romeo at Richard Joseph salon as he is an excellent stylist and colorist. . He colors my hair, perfectly for my age, not too dark, And it's really difficult to match red hair as I've been a redhead I'm alive, but not so red anymore LOL. He is THE Best hairstylist I've ever seen! Especially for the color and I took this picture in very bright sunlight, so maybe it doesn't do it justice but he's the best I've ever seen for color! And he's such a nice guy... I said give it a try... This is where I go now, done looking....great job! Thanks, Jana H read more

I'm helping a homeless dwarf get a job and another business a block away turned us away (their sign in bold letters says they welcome all LGBTQ btw) from coming in because he was 'homeless' and I of course was ready to pay full retail + 30% grat SHOUT OUT TO TESS AT THE FRONT DESK My friend isn't super dirty but his hair def needed a shampoo before his haircut/makeover. Tess took us in as a walk in and graciously didn't charge once she saw what I was doing. I of course tipped what I thought it would cost She has to be the owner or she should open her own salon.

Richard Joseph Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been going here for more than 3 years and that's due to the consistently amazing work that my stylist Jeff Urbanski does. After COVID shut down many salons initially, my hair grew pretty long down to my shoulders. I had always wanted long hair but never knew what I would do with it. I had a vision and I looked everywhere for a place with potential. I found this place and saw many great reviews specifically for Jeff. I went to him and he was able to bring out what I saw in my head. After each session, we would make modifications to make my style even better and now I have the look I've always wanted. My confidence has never been higher and I absolutely love how I look. The follow are before and after pics of my most recent cut. I've included pics without product as well. Jeff definitely deserves his praise and it's why I've been coming to him for years. He will bring your best look. Scheduling with him is easy and he's super flexible. Fair prices. He does touch ups, and he uses great products that I have used in my hair routine now. The review has been long overdue but better late than never. read more

Best salon in San Diego! Very professional & all their staff is beyond amazing. You will not be disappointed at all.

I've been going to Jeff Urbanski for many years. He always does an amazing job with both color and cuts. When I was finally ready to chop off my long hair, he found the perfect length. He even helped me find an organization to donate my hair. Ask for Jeff when booking here! read more

I had my hair cut and styled by Jeff this week and was thrilled with the results. You can tell he is meticulous and has attention to detail to get the perfect cut. He listened to my preferences and was charming and funny. All stylists I encountered were super friendly and you can tell there are a lot of regulars. Would recommend for sure! read more

Jeff Urbanski is hands down my favorite hair stylist. Ever. At the end of every haircut/color, I leave feeling confident, happy, and with a smile on my face. He goes above and beyond every time I see him -- and we have spent many, many hours together. He also supports Girl Scouts by buying an obnoxious amount of cookies to then just give them away to friends. Good human. read more

I've been getting my highlights and cuts from Jeff Urbanski for about three years now. In addition to being a really talented stylist, he has a great chair-side manner, great humor and really makes you feel beautiful. He's an honest stylist and will suggest what looks best for you while listening to your needs. He goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable to include providing you with a nice glass of white wine. He also knows when I'm sitting in my car after the appointment that I'm taking my Facebook selfie.. I highly recommend choosing him as your next stylist!! read more

The first time I ever visited was probably 15 years ago. I've worked with a few different stylists over the years and have consistently been impressed with their work. I've been seeing Jeff for three years now and love working with him. He's always easy to work with and gives me beautiful results. My favorite thing is how nicely the color always grows out. I have dark hair and he helps me add dimension while getting the undertones I'm looking for. A wonderful stylist at a great salon. read more

About a year and a half ago (literally January of 2018) I came across a random photo on instragram that was hashtagged "BeachWavePerm". I knew I had to have it, but my hair was bleached and lightened. August 2019, I came across another photo and said "OMG I CAN PERM MY HAIR NOW!" I started searching who even did perms anymore lol. Yelp directed me to a review about Jeff U here at Richard Joseph. I was at work and just so excited, I texted him. We spoke on the phone and he squeezed me in 2 weeks later! LET ME TELL YOU.. he was the sweetest. I was so nervous because I remember my mom's perms in the 90s. He was so comfortable to be around. Everyone at the salon is so welcoming. I had such a positive experience. My hair is beach wavy (My hair used to be very stick straight, but after years of box colors, and experiments, and then pregnancy/post partum hair loss, it's just been more than blah). My niece told me I had "mermaid hair". I cannot speak higher of Jeff. Someone else referred to him as "Jeff Handsome Hair" here on yelp, and yes. Jeff Handsome Hair. read more

7/22/24 I would like to highly recommend Luigi at Richard Joseph's Salon. I have been getting my color work done by Luigi for over twenty years. Believe me about how pleased I am for his expertise in hair color, if it's a touch up you need, to a totally new look in color or correcting color damage, he's the one for all your color needs. I am a retired hairdresser, so I am very particular and I know when a hairdresser knows what they are doing. Try Luigi for all your color work, you will not be disappointed and to top it off, he is an honest, handsome and extremely sweet beautiful person with a great sense of humor. He's the best!

If you are looking for a new salon look no further!! I recently discovered this gem last May. First of all, everyone is SO friendly, fun, and helpful. All the stylists seem to be a family creating a fun buzz atmosphere (regularly yummy snacks). Secondly, the quality of work is outstanding! True artists. Finally, my favorite person is Jeff! He is not only an outstanding stylist, a colorist he asks about me, remembers my stories, and cares about me as a person, not just a client. My hair is naturally curly and SO many people ask me where do I get it done. Jeff (snap, snap, snap)! Check out the pictures below. read more
