    My hair after
    Cristina N.

    Went with Lisa to get a traditional balyage/highlight on my hair. I had not done anything with my hair in years and needed a change. Originally I came in and my hair was very dry, brittle, thin at its ends and just needed some love. After Lisa walked me through her ideas and suggested so many good tips, she went to work and applied her magic. She offered the best coffee and tea and treated me so kindly the entire time. The salon itself is very cute, such a lovely vibe and the entire staff was friendly and professional. Thank you Lisa for working wonders, my hair feels soooo much healthier, you gave it it's life back!

    I'm a dedicated client at Salon Savoir because of the quality of service and the professional yet casual atmosphere. Owner Michelle Ward is a master of her craft and is constantly staying on top of the latest cutting and coloring techniques in the industry. Education is important for her and all the talented stylists who work in her salon. The salon carries the L'Oreal Professional line which is luxurious and my favorite. I make sure to use the same products that are used during my service so I can recreate the look at home. It makes a big difference. The salon is on 5th Ave where there's convenient paid parking but the neighborhood is so nice that I don't mind walking a few short blocks for free parking on days I have the time. The salon always has an upbeat energy and I feel very well taken care of. I'm always offered a variety of complementary beverages, even snacks! Michelle is a Master level stylist and her prices deservingly reflect that designation. There are other very talented stylists at Salon Savoir of all levels with varying price points. They all learn from Michelle in addition to bringing in their own expertise. If you're looking for an above average experience look no further than Salon Savoir.

    Took a solo trip to San Diego for my birthday and found this salon in downtown! The salon was clean with a modern touch. Bree was my hairstylist and honestly doing my hair with her was the highlight of my trip. She was knowledgeable, caring and left my hair looking so beautiful after full head of copper highlights. I loved how detailed she was and kept me informed of every step of the way. My hair came out exactly how I wanted it! I highly recommend doing your hair with Bree!

    Lovely was absolutely wonderful! Super fun to chat with during my long blonding + coloring session, and I'm so happy with my cut + color!! Also really awesome that she gave me a couple glasses of champagne throughout the session :)

    Extremely over priced and they take advantage of people with no prior hair dye experience.

    I've been going to Uyen since 2021, and it's truly the most beautiful my hair has ever looked…read more My natural hair is very fine, and when I first came to her it was just past my shoulders. Uyen added extensions and created a gorgeous bronde color. Over the years we've tried different looks, from very blonde to closer to my natural dark blonde, and I loved it every time! What impressed me the most is how healthy my hair stayed the entire time. After wearing extensions for over two years, I took them out for a while and my natural hair actually looked about 30% thicker than before (The thickest it has ever been). I just got a new set of extensions again and absolutely love them. I went from short hair to almost waist length, and this time we did wavy extensions to match my natural texture. It came out beautifully - the color matches perfectly and it looks very natural, even when I let my hair air dry without styling. Uyen is incredibly attentive and works very meticulously. She really listens and takes the time to make everything blend perfectly. I completely trust her with my hair and highly recommend her, especially if you have fine hair and are considering extensions.

Cortney has a focus on maintaining your real hair's health which is exactly what i was looking for. She helped take out my Ktips and installed really perfect color matched hand tied wefts.

When…read moreI told her the bottom extensions came out, she blamed it on conditioner and fired me saying I was rude when I only informed her. She went from $300 to lift to $400 and then 500. She left the wefts not glued bf she put them in. Therefore tattered and damaged ends on the weft. When I told her she asked what happened. I'm not a hair dresser and trying to find someone on a Sunday to fix my mess was what I had to do because of work. I have known her for over ten years and because I couldn't get back to her ASAP she canceled all my future appointments with no phone call but through text which is extremely disrespectful. Also I referred several people and she charged me $150 more than the people I referred. I always tip 20%. I'm so glad this happened because when she was told not to worry about it I found someone to fix my hair. She asked if I wanted to come in on Tuesday when she's known for 12 years I work 12 hour days. I had no expectations of her coming in but she offered to take then out but would not put them back in. That would've been a nightmare. This has happened a couple times now. She over charges and her work has gone so down hill. I just didn't want to deal with my work and finding someone new. I should've left when she just out of no where started upping her prices only on me. I work extremely hard and she upped her prices and lowered her standards knowing I'd pay it. Don't come here!

So lightweight, fast install (20 minutes), and it matched my hair SO perfectly. I did not even need to color or cut the hair to blend it in. I went 8 weeks before reinstalling.

She not only does an amazing job at making your hair fantasy real, but she does what's best to keep your hair healthy for a long period of time. She provides recommendations so you don't kill your hair and is honest about repercussions if you want to do something harmful to your hair. But gives you space to know it's still, your choice at the end of the day. This is why I did invisible bead extensions! I've colored my hair for years and it's become damaged & thin, but i love long & blonde hair so much. So, getting extensions was the best step forward. She handsewn extensions into my hair, the extensions were tight only for the first day, but now I forget I have them unless I touch my head. She did a great job and They, the extensions, are amazing !!
