I've been going here for more than a decade and I'm happy every time I get a hair cut here! I've gotten my hair dyed here as well. Salon is clean and well kept. Will definitely continue going here :) read more

Outstanding experience at Salon Mia. They are both so kind and cute together. They worked diligently and efficiently, the total time was about 3.5 hours. Every strand of hair was accounted for and taken care of. I like Miss Mia's cheerful demeanor, she is so welcoming and understanding. The digital perm and haircut were a fair price, it looked super curly during the session then loosened out to wavy curls with the final wash and dry. we both thought that even if it stayed curlier it would've been cute too hehe. read more

Been going to Maria and Sean for 4+ years now- had a variety of different of different services done over the years, such as cut, dyes and perms. Really excited about my latest digital perm. I asked for something very natural and easy to manage. I love how loose and wavy my curls are and how easy it is to manage in the morning. I appreciate that Sean and Maria take care of the health of my hair and always put that into consideration. read more

I love Salon Mia! Ms. Mia is the best of the best! She knows what is best for you and your hair. She is very detailed and meticulous. Since I am very particular about my hair--of course, it's our crown of glory--I did a lot of research and read many reviews for different salons, but Salon Mia always had the best feedback. Ms. Mia will make sure to focus on you, which is why you need to book an appointment rather than simply walk into her salon. It's all about quality over quantity. I got the best digital perm of my life! I am a regular client-- from haircut to perm--and I can't wait for my hair color! I'd give her a million !!! read more

Maria and Sean are the best team! They cared about the health of your hair and always gave the best suggestion for hairstyle.

I got a cut and digital perm today and I loved it. Maria and her husband were both were so sweet and so meticulous with my hair. They're both so knowledgeable and spent so much time with me and my hair turned out great. I couldn't recommend them more. read more

I had an appointment with Mia recently. She and her husband did an absolutely amazing job! I requested a perm for the first time and I couldn't be happier with the results. My hair came out better than I expected and looked healthier than ever. Mia walked me through every step of the haircut & recommended ways to style and take care of my new hair. She is also extremely personable and very easy to talk to! I would 100% come back again for another appointment! And **I remember never ever dyeing my hair black Mia** read more

I got a cut and digital perm here yesterday and couldn't be happier with the results. In the past, I've had stylists convince me not to do anything out of the ordinary, but Maria listened to what I wanted (which actually made me excited for my next hairdo) and provided helpful suggestions. She just knew hair and how to work with mine. She and Sean were very meticulous throughout the whole process and they also offered refreshments and cookies. They gave volume and sheen to my once dull, flat hair so as cheesy as it sounds, I did feel transformed. Prices were incredibly reasonable. It's more affordable than some other 2 dollar sign places. Service was great of course. Plenty of parking in the plaza. I appreciated the quiet nature of the location during my 4 hours there. I'll be returning for my future hair needs. read more

Maria was so kind and opened the shop that day just for my sister and me! She and her husband were awesome - the service was quite efficient and they brought us cookies and tea as we were waiting. They were fun to chat with and super friendly. We got foilayage and loved the results! The experience was wonderful overall. read more

I love this place! The people, the environment, and how much work they put into their profession. I came across this salon on yelp and noticed their "walk-ins welcome" which made it easier for me to come in for my appointment. However, I wanted a haircut and balayage, a very long process (3-4 hours), so I called in to make sure it wasn't too busy for my walk-in. They were very nice and let me come in as soon as I could. As soon as I walked in, Maria greeted me and let me tell her exactly what I wanted. At first she thought I said I wanted a root touch up over the phone, when really I wanted a full on balayage, but she took the time out of her day to fufill my needs which I really appreciated. Maria is such a sweet woman and takes her craft very seriously. Her husband Shawn was such a warming person as well and helped Maria during my process. Both of them have many years of experience and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Price was something I was a little anxious about, since most places add more fees depending on length and texture. And with my hair being thick and long, I expected to pay more than $200. But Maria stated at the beginning of our session after examining my hair that the price would be $200 flat, which made me really happy. I highly recommend this place because Maria will satisfy your needs and will make sure shes giving you the best options available. Will definitely be coming back soon for touch ups and more haircuts! read more

This is my 2nd time getting a haircut with Maria. This time I brought my wife along to have her haircut and colored. Maria did a great job with both of us. I will definitely be a regular customer from now on! Her pricing is also very affordable, especially considering the quality of the results. read more

Had an AMAZING experience at Salon Mia with Maria and her husband! Before going to Salon Mia, my hair looked like a rat's nest. I'm talking split ends for days, super dry, and the balayage I got from another place was getting weirdly yellow and crusty. It looked like I crawled out of a rock (which isn't that far from the truth since COVID-19 has made me a hot mess). You can tell that she was super knowledgable on how hair moves and falls. I totally stink at hair. Like legit only know how to put it in a really weak ponytail so I just asked her for her professional opinion and she talked me through everything (How she was going to cut my bangs, how she was going to trim my hair, how it was going to fall, etc). I stood there stupified by her knowledge #I'mNotWorthy. After giving me a fresh cut, her and her husband got to work giving me a digital perm. Not only were they incredibly meticulous and very detail-oriented, they were the absolute cutest couple and worked so well together! #RelationshipGoals. The whole process took about 4 hours, but now I automatically have waves after I take a shower and look put together without even trying! It didn't even feel like 4 hours because they were the sweetest people and it was such a great experience. Maria also noticed the damage in my hair and treated it while also adding a bit of toner to level off the bleached blond looking parts of my hair (The part that wasn't cut off, I still wanted my hair a bit past my shoulders). And she did this out of the goodness of her heart because she couldn't bear to see my hair like that. The price is pretty freaking epic also. The digital perm was $200 WITH THE CUT INCLUDED. CUT...IN...CLUDED (Yes, I know "cluded" is not a word). You can't beat that, ladies! I know. I'VE TRIED. I've lived in San Diego for 2 years and haven't been able to find a hairstylist, but I am now happy to say that I have found my go-to place! Also, big props to them for being COVID conscious. They had their doors wide open and I was the only one that they were serving the entire time. They, and myself, wore a mask at all times so I felt very comfortable and safe going to get my hair done! read more

I got my hair done by Maria. She was very professional, friendly, interesting to talk to and experienced. She actually has over 15 years of experience I found out! I was a difficult customer because I had to get my hair from a bad dye job mixture of blonde and red to a deep red. I wanted it bright, but as natural looking as possible so my work would not complain about the color. She expertly worked to get my hair the perfect shade and did three amazing things: 1) She also dyed my eyebrows to match the new color (not everyone remembers this important step) 2) This was a BIG deal: after completely finishing my hair, blow dry and all, I felt the color needed a little toning down for my work, so she added brown to it and re-shampooed and re-blow dried and everything! She was patient, kind and helpful through this process. She offered to do this too! I didn't have to go home feeling I wish it were darker. 3) After all was said and done she even threw in a free hair curling, because I told her how I wanted to try a loose wavy curl style. Maria and her husband both own and work in this salon (which is adorable). With two experts there keeping it running I have confidence that no matter who you see your experience at Mia Salon will be amazing just like mine. I will definitely be returning, especially since they offer a large variety of services including facials too. read more

Maria is GREAT!!!!!! I had my eyebrows micro-blading done about a year ago. It was good. But after a year by, I wanted to change the shape and colors. Maria was so patient to listen all my request and got me great shaped eye brows!!! I loved everything she had done!! She was so gentle I didn't even have much pain! The whole process was smooth and I love it!! I will keep coming back if I need to fill in some colors. Thank you Maria!!! read more

I highly recommend this place! Maria and her husband have done two digital perms for me and both times it turned out exactly how I wanted it to be. The perm includes a cut as well, and the curls lasted about 7 months for me! They're very patient throughout the whole process, which is about 4 hours and I never felt rushed. They even gave me some snacks to eat during the process. I definitely recommend getting a digital perm if you want to wake up with effortless waves, and Maria and her husband will take care of you here. read more

I walked in without an appointment and Maria was very nice. However, my Haircut was subpar and rushed. I was expecting her to style it, maybe close to what the picture I showed her at the start. I also told her my last hairstylist used thinning shears at the end. She didn't use thinning shears, she dried it slightly and then said ok thank you. I had to ask her to put some gel on my hair and when I got home I had to restyle it myself. Maybe if she had more time the experience would be better but it's a bit distasteful on her part to treat a new customer like that. read more

I was nervous and excited at the same time because it was my very first hair salon visiting in the US. I got a haircut and a digital perm from Maria. She knew exactly what I wanted to do for my new hairstyle. The service was great and the price was reasonable. I'll be definitely back to her. I'm really happy that now I know where to go for my hair. I highly recommend this place! read more

My locks are naturally straight and boring, but Maria saved many woes by expertly perming and styling my hair without breaking my budget. She and Sean are seasoned professionals and consistently deliver cheerful service. Now I go to Salon Mia regularly to get haircuts, perms and waxed. I always make an appointment with Maria before special events (weddings, interview, etc.) and leave looking my best. Highly recommended! read more

I had such a great first time experience getting a balayage from Maria and her husband. She was easily responsive with setting up an appointment through yelp. When I arrived at the salon and discussed what type of hair I wanted, she immediately knew what and how to do it (must be from their many years of experience). They were so meticulous with coloring my hair. It was a wonderful feeling to know that they are not only skilled in their craft but care a lot about how my hair would turn out. She was very straightforward with pricing and are taking all the public health precautions to run a salon during Covid. This salon is a family business I would happily come back to and recommend to any one needing coloring, cuts, or styling. Thanks so much Salon Mia! read more

My mom and I were both very happy. I got digital perm for the first time ever and I'm a believer now.

It's been years since I've written a Yelp review, but this salon is THAT good, enough for me to break my silence to sing its praise. I've gotten many digital perms in my life; ~6 in Asia and 2 in the states. Both digital perms I got in the states previously were very disappointing; the curls didn't hold and it was a huge waste of time/money. It's been a couple weeks since I got my digital perm at Salon Mia and I could not be happier with the outcome. I believe it was the owners who worked on my hair? Throughout the 4 hour process they provided clear communication and attentive care, with a side of coffee and crackers as well. The results of their hard work are the gorgeous waves I've always wanted. Thank you to the owners of this wonderful salon. I'll be sure to return in the future. read more

Maria is an absolute hair genius! She's kind and genuine, not to mention, she's a perfectionist when it comes to hair! I found her a year ago and decided to give it a chance, and I'm so lucky to have found her. Maria is a cut, color, and styling specialist with over 25 years experience! She restored my hair back to health with her routine trims and deep conditioning, which I will post photos to show, but it's not until you experience for yourself her brilliant work that you will experience- you will be blown away! Trust me, you will never want to go anywhere else! Maria thank you so much my hair-Angel, you are a true artist with a heart of gold! I appreciate you dearly! Hope this review helps all you perfectionist, like I am, to discover the best hair stylist in San Diego!! read more

Stumbled upon MIA Salon by chance actually. Couldn't get squeezed in to my usual salon and was looking around for walk in salon. Now I'm glad I didn't go to my usual. Kyle is the guy, you should go to. There is a new talent in town. Highly recommended and will go there again! Thanks. read more

I have been looking for a hairdresser for years and I have found the one! I got a balayage and a layers cut and it looks EXACTLY the way I want it. You know how sometimes you come in wanting a certain look but the hairdresser has their own opinion and it ends up not looking the way you want it? Well, that is NOT the case here, Maria does your hair EXACTLy the way you want it or gives gentle opinions of what might be better. You can tell she has many years of experience. Also, it felt so good when they wash your hair and give you a little head massage. My favorite part is that it is BUDGET friendly. I looked into and called 4 other places, but all of them estimated to about $50+ more. I will definitely be coming back and recommending my friends and family. read more

Maria was super friendly and considerate. She kept communicating with me throughout the haircut to make it look the way I want.

Honestly, I never leave review unless it is negative one. I have been looking for hair salon for long time and I found this AMAZING place. The salon is friendly, cozy, and no rush at all.

I am really impressed with my haircut. I walked in to salon after reading the yelp reviews , they greeted and welcomed me a smile.

What a great place. I have tried the hair cut chains. If all you want is a cheap haircut be my guest. I prefer to get the royal treatment. That is what you get at Salon Mia. They do work by appointment so make sure to call first. Shokoh cuts my hair and I am never disappointed. Her # is 858-531-5862 read more

Maria is so good at what she does. I have been looking for someone to do my magic straight perm and my friend recommended Maria. Even though her salon is 1 hour away, it was WORTH it. She also styled my hair and I couldn't be happier. It is tough to find a stylist that knows what style will look better and how to cut your hair. I was in the salon for 5 hours (the magic straight is long process) but I did not feel like being there for so long. I enjoyed Maria's company and she entertained me the whole time. I have never felt more beautiful after the service. Will definitely return and I recommend her! read more

First time getting an eyelash perm! WOW! what can I say, I am so impressed. I followed my friend for her eyelash perm and I got mine done just for fun. This was my first time doing something like this and I am very satisfied. My eyes looked dull because I wore no make up whatsoever, but now, I look so alive! Elin was the lady who did my lashes and she was so patient throughout the process. Even though my eyes flinched few times, she fixed it without any annoyance. I could tell she was very experienced and professional. I heard she does facial as well. I am willing to try it out. I will post a new review soon! read more

First time being here and it was amazing! My hair looked frizzy and messy, but now I have calm and shiny dark brown hair. Maria did wonderful job trimming into perfect length and dying with perfect color that looks good on my skin tone. It took decent amount of time and I didn't get bored the entire time talking with her and other stylists. Maria must be popular cuz she was receiving many calls and had other customers keep coming in while I was there. I will definitely have Maria again to do my hair, yet other stylists seems cool and friendly too :) I believe they do walk-ins but it is better for both of you and the stylist to set an appointment. Truly recommend this salon!! read more

I have been going to Salon Mia for 4 years now. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Alicia is who does my hair but I have seen happy clients with all of the other stylist over the years. They take the time to listen to what you are looking for and make it happen. Also the cost for the service provided is GREAT! I would highly recommend going to this Salon and working with one of the great stylist there.... you won't regret it. Also if they are really packed for parking you can use the valet at no cost... so don't let that stop you. They do take walk ins but I would call ahead to make sure they can take you. read more
