By the way, she apparently worked with celebrities in Beverly Hills and has photos on her Instagram: @hairmakeupkris. read more

Denise was amazing and got me in a little last minute before my Bachelorette party as I had just moved to town and was looking for a local stylist. She was recommended to me by a mutual friend. Super friendly and did exactly what I wanted. So happy to have my hair on point for a fun weekend with lots of photos likely being taken! 10/10 would definitely recommend! Thanks! read more

Ana did a fantastic job with my Ouidad cut and highlights. My boyfriend can't stop complimenting my hair :)

I wanted to give a big bouquet of compliments to Denise Bithos, who I made an appointment with to do an updo and makeup on me for my son's wedding. Despite not knowing me, and the short amount of time I gave her, she astounded me with how fast she worked to make me so glamorous and beautiful. Thank you, Denise, for making me feel like a queen! read more

Salon Envie - Up do for a wedding. - Hair Salons Near Me - La Jolla, California

Having naturally curly hair is a pain. You know what's even more of a pain? Trying to find a hair stylist who can actually work with it. Since moving to San Diego a year ago I have a had a string of horrific haircuts. I get my hair cut quite frequently because no cut ever seems to do the trick. I researched getting a deva curl hair cut but after a lot of reading I realized that maybe that wasnt the best option as I like to wear my hair straight and curly so the deva curl cut can look very choppy and uneven when it's straight. I stumbled across the Ouidad cut and really liked the idea of it. I decided to book one and found that Salon Envie offered these cuts. I had my first cut with Ana yesterday and I am certainly an Ouidad convert. She listened to me and took into account exactly what I wanted. Some hairdressers look at you and have their own ideas with what they want to do and just go at it. Ana talked be through the entire cut and told me everything she was doing and why. Ana gave me a completely new view on how exactly I should be styling and looking after my curls. She even showed me some tricks of what I can do at home when I'm doing my own hair. Honestly cant express how impressed I am with this salon and cut. I will certainly be back - just hoping this cut will last longer than my recent cuts - though I have no doubt that it will. read more

I am insufferably vain. I have blond naturally crazy curly hair. I haven't trusted someone to cut my hair in a decade. The best aspires one day to be Christopher. read more

Christopher Jasak has been my trusted stylist for 15 years and I drive to Salon Envie from Carlsbad! I highly recommend Salon Envie, Christopher and Ivan. Christopher is a master at cut & color. They keep me updated on the newest treatment products for dry hair and vary my cut slightly so I don't get in a rut. I get so many compliments on my color. I love my monthly Salon Envie visits! You must treat yourself to a visit with Christoper and Ivan! read more

Salon Envie - Hair Salons Near Me - La Jolla, California

Ana was my first Ouidad stylist when I arrived in San Diego over a year ago. She guided my style so I looked great at my son's wedding 3 months ago. My hair consistently gets compliments for its color and its joyous curls. As for a negative review above, this woman admits to getting a refund. Who refunds for haircuts? Ana did because she has integrity and guarantees her work. I'm guessing that some people haven't yet fallen in love with their curly hair. It takes skilled cut, color and diligent use of product to look fantastic. Ana makes sure you get all of it! read more

Covid Safe confortable and amazing haircut and color i love it . Ivan did excelent on my hair he does great Fades and everything. He is really friendly of you call salón envie he will answer any question read more

I had a great experience at Salon Envie! I booked an appt for partial highlights and hair cut with Ivan and was very happy with the results. Ivan is professional, friendly, and thorough. He explained everything, he works quickly and carefully, and he knows neutral and cool blonde tones very well. He doesn't try to push products on you which I appreciate. My friend (who has curly hair) and my bf both had a great experience with him as well. The salon itself is stylish, comfortable and COVID safe. The services are very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend! read more

Every time I step into Salon Envie, I feel like I am treating myself to the ultimate Parisian experience! The soft ambience that imbues Salon Envie will quiet your restless spirit and transport you to a European getaway. Christoper, the owner/manager of Salon Envie is a top-notch, experienced hair stylist! He has established long term relationships with many locals in the La Jolla area, and his clients adore him! Definitely book an appointment with him if you're interested in updating your hair style and color! In addition to all the alluring elements Salon Envie has to offer, I love that Salon Envie seems to be one of the very few salons that carry the full Kerastase line. A Kerastase lover can certainly find a limited selection of Kerastase at beauty supply stores and other salons; however, Salon Envie is the only place that I know of that carries the full Kerastase spectrum. This is especially important and helpful to me because Kerastase products play a vital role in my hair care routine, and they regularly introduce new products that I am always anxious to try! If you are a La Jolla local and are in need of a new hair style and/or needing to restock on your Kerastase arsenal, stop by Salon Envie! read more

Salon Envie - Magic for your hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - La Jolla, California

I have very thick, yet very fine, blonde hair and for some reason 99% of stylists have no idea how to cut and style it. After an absolute disaster at a different supposed 'upscale' San Diego salon, I went to get my hair fixed here. I chose Salon Envie because Anna is certified in the Ouidad 'carve and slice' method. It's meant for curly hair, yet it really works on my hair due to it's thickness. I was told by Anna that my haircut and color from the other salon was one of the worst she had seen. My hair was literally an orangy blonde color cut into the shape of a horseshoe! Yet she managed to repair the haircut and tone down the gross neon blonde into a warmer golden color. The ambiance of the salon is relaxing. They play mostly classical music, which helps set the mood for a stress free session of beautification. One of the most appealing aspects about the atmosphere is there is no "chicken coop" cattiness or gossip, which is an expected feature at most salons. The only downside is the parking situation. All of downtown La Jolla is a nightmare for parking, and this is no exception. Make sure to check the signs to see how long you can park, and make sure to IMMEDIATELY move your car once the time is up or you will get a ticket. read more

Having recently moved to SD/La Jolla, I was desparate for a haircut, but also terrified to go to just anyone. Having extremely curly locks, I have many horror stories of people that claim they can cut curly hair...but usually results in me leaving a shop looking like a frizzy cotton ball, or I straighten my hair and find it to be lopsided. A friend of mine told me about Salon Envie and a couple of the stylist that cut curly hair. I was still hesitant, as my friend's hair is more wavy than curly. However, I also recently learned about the Ouidad product line and cut. Upon searching their website for a Ouidad tranined stylist, I was directed to Ana Nelson at Salon Envie. I decided to go for it, and I am SO glad I did!! Ana was able to cut and style my hair, bringing out curls I didn't even know I had! My hair has a lot more bounce, volume, looks healthier (as those are the compliments I continue to get from other people), and is even all the way around. No more layers shorter than others. They're all even and sit just right. I admittedly walked out of the salon in a little bit of shock, as I was not used to how curly my hair is now. She was able to bring out my hidden, inner curl diva! But I am more than pleased, and will make it a point to visit again. Many folks have asked me for her phone number purely off of seeing the before and after of my hair transformation. I highly recommend this stylist!! read more

I hate to write bad reviews but I had to because of the terrible Ouidad experience that I had at this Salon in mid February. I was hoping that the hairstylist would demonstrate to me Ouidad's slicing technique when I went in for a consultation but she did not. I went from classic gorgeous curls to terribly frizzy curls and a second hair cut which didn't fix the problem. Although I was refunded by the hairstylist but every time I look at my frizzy curls (the frizz is all over my hair by the way. Small sections of my hair were held outward in the shape of half a circle and were sliced at the top and bottom) that I attained after the Ouidad slicing technique, I want to go back to my regular hairstylist and get a boy cut and that is why I had to post this review. Ouidad is "The dumbest" technique ever for any curl type out there. read more

My only experience here has been with Ana and it was amazing! I have very curly hair and have had trust issues with hair stylists in the past. My hair was brittle and frizzy and so long that it was weighed down, I hated it but was so nervous to go anywhere and get it cut. I found Ana and she is definitely the best. She gave my hair life! No more poodle, lamp shade, poofy cuts. I've found my go to girl. She took the time to explain her technique so I wasn't nervous at all. She even explained the products she was using on my hair to style it which I ended buying because they were truly great products. I can honestly say that having curly hair all my life has never been so easy. read more

I truly cannot recommend this salon more. My hair is beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted and I was walked through every step to make sure it was perfect and exactly what I wanted. I truly felt like time and attention to detail was important to them. Everyone was so kind. Ivan is the BEST and did a beautiful job working with my brown Latina hair and adding some golden highlights. read more

I can not say enough about Katrina or how fabulous my hair looks. And I'm not just talking about when I leave the salon, I'm talking about every day. It takes a true professional to cut curly hair properly and that's exactly what Katrina is. Not only did she take the time to learn what I wanted and the challenges I have with my hair, she taught me what products and tools work well with my hair. I absolutely recommend Katrina to everyone looking for a fab stylist. read more

When I came to the salon my hair was dry, dead, dull and needed a complete makeover. Christopher worked magic! I have been straightening my hair for years, and he gave me an amazing cut that now lets me wear it curly and I love it! He also colored it and it looks better and more natural that my actual natural color, if you can believe that! He took his time, is extremely friendly and personable and my hair looks amazing and I am so happy and excited! I would recommend Christopher and Salon Envie to anyone, especially those looking for the ouidad signature curly haircut. Best decision ever to let Christopher cut and color my hair! I love it - thank you!! read more

I had an appointment with Ivan. Less than 24 hours later before my appointment he messages me to let me know hes sorry but he can't keep my hair appointment. His justification was that he was taking too long to do hair and I had to be out before 2 pm. I had rearranged my schedule and had to get childcare. Now I will have to take my business elsewhere. I did give him a chance to remedy the situation by letting him know my afternoon was free. He did not bother to respond. Lets keep in mind I've had this appointment since last Saturday and he had all week to think about his schedule my appt was Friday at 1130am. Not good for business. read more

Christopher has been working his magic with my hair for many years with exceptional results. He is a master colorist, and the highlights he puts in look beautiful and natural. Christopher has the heart and soul of an artist, and he will give you a stylish haircut to show off your best features. His expertise and helpful advice on the care and treatment of my fine, thin hair has been extremely valuable. Christopher is a treasure and I'm so grateful that I found Salon Envie. read more

Salon Envie is amazing. I've been seeing Ivan for at least two years now. I feel like I've finally found the stylist soul mate match. I have thick hair and it's not easy to get cuts or color, but Ivan has no issue with it. He does the best Belliage in San Diego. I swear he should have a Belliage-off contest. His technique is perfect. His cuts are also perfect. He's the best, and the owner, Christopher is hilarious. Time spent there is always enjoyable. I definitely recommend either of them as stylists. read more

This place is the bomb!! Christopher and his staff rock. Anna is amazing, she is the bomb dot com.

Went here for the first time afer a fellow red-head recommended Ana. Not always easy to find someone who can do good color on natural red, but Ana not only gave me exactly what I was looking for, she charged a more than fair price (better than I was expecting in La Jolla!!) and everyone in the salon was so nice! This was HUGE for me as this was my pre-wedding color fix and my budget is tight. LOVING my hair and experience! I will be back. Thank you Ana and friends! read more

Christopher is the best. I started going to him in 2004 when I got extensions for the first time. He's brilliant and every time I left my hair looked perfect. read more

I loved getting my hair cut by Christopher, I wish I could have given more than 5 stars. I have extremely curly hair that is also very frizzy. I found on the ouidad salon finder that he was certified in the carve and slice method. I ended up cutting around 8 inches off of my hair and with the right styling products and a great cut, it actually looks nice! Most other hairdressers are either afraid of my hair or just try to straighten my curls but he totally embraced my hair. Also, compared to other salons I've been to, I didn't find the price to be outrageous. I will only go back to him! read more

After just moving to the area, I was desperate for a good haircut. I have very curly hair and wanted someone who specialized in cutting curly hair. After several unsatisfying Yelp searches, I turned to the Ouidad website to direct me to a Ouidad trained stylist. I was directed to Salon Envie where I saw Ana Nelson. I told her what I wanted, and voila, she did a beautiful job cutting and shaping up my hair. This curly girl is grateful to have found Ana, and I will be returning. And parking is nowhere near as bad as I was expecting after reading the reviews. I parked 1 block away in residential parking with no problem..... read more

Great location in La Jolla. I simply love Julian who is the best colorist and stylist I've ever worked with. Beautiful, small salon, providing the best hair care products (Kerastase) and services. read more

I went to Ana a while back and she saved my hair from my previous hair dresser. My hair was uneven, damaged, and just a hot mess. She saved my hair though and brought it back to life! Love my color and my cut. Highly recommend her, she knows her stuff and won't let you down!! read more

I love Katrina! I have naturally curly hair and have never found anyone that can cut and style it right until I found Katrina. She is always learning an using new techniques for cutting hair. She will also work around your schedule and is very flexible. I would and have recommended her to family and friends! read more

If you want to get your hair beautified, then go to these hunks, Ivan, Jules, and Christopher! I can't imagine getting my hair done by anyone else!!! Plus I'm pampered to the max with water, tea, apple cider, coffee, and the best, most healthy products you could think of!!! read more

Envie is a great salon, with a warm vibe and friendly. I recommend it and ESPECIALLY Katrina. She is AMAZING! She's fun, talented, and just gets it because she listens! After trying countless salons and stylists over the years, I'm delighted to have found her. I've been with her for 3 years now and if I have anything to say about it, she'll be the only one that brings shears close to my locks. She's completely gifted in color and cutting! My hair has never left her chair looking anything less than perfect!! She takes great pride in her work and she's very professional and friendly. Also, Katrina keeps ahead of the trend curve, so if there's something new and unique you want done, chances are, she's already been doing it for months. I recently asked her for some ombre color which turned out beautifully! 5 stars hands down...GO. SEE. HER... read more

I'm 65 year old Gram who lives in Michigan and discovered Christopher at Salon Envie while visiting my son in La Jolla. I have thick dark hair and lots of gray and finding someone who can contour my hair has always been a challenge. Stylists in Michigan like to contour the ends and I've left shops with absolutely no shape. Christopher knows how to shape/thin out my thick mop and when I leave - it's short- sassy and I love it. He also does great lowlights. My son has moved to Carlsbad and the hour drive to LaJolla is worth it. Actually the trip from Michigan is worth it. Yvonne even parked my car my last visit and brought it back to the shop when I was done. Valet service and great hair. I accompanied a friend with alepecia about 10 years ago when she had her 3,000 wig cut by a stylist who was mentioned in Allure magazine - Stylist said cutting hair is geometry - all about angles. Christopher knows all the angles. You won't be disappointed. read more

I can only speak to the haircut I received from Katrina, and it was excellent. I've been to many places looking for someone that can understand what I'm looking for, but have routinely come out looking like Forrest Gump. I was a walk-in with Katrina, and have never looked back. She knows her stuff, and knows exactly what you are trying to convey in a style. What tops it off is her consistency, and intelligent suggestions. Its great having one less thing on my mind everyday I step through the front door. The rest of the staff are very friendly and professional as well. read more

I was recently in California, visiting from Vancouver, and found out about Anna from the Ouidad site and I immediately booked in with her. I have very curly hair which has never really been cut, just badly trimmed into a triangle over the years. I took a before picture and thought I looked pretty good, but then Anna got hold of my hair and WOW is all I have to say! My hair has a nice shape that compliments my face and my curls are now ringlets. She took a little more off than I initially wanted, but she is very talented and I am glad she did as it looks great. She explained exactly what she was doing the whole way through the appointment, I was a little nervous having never had a "real" hair cut, and this made me feel a lot better. I used to get the occasional compliment on my hair, but now people stop me the street to comment on my curls. read more
