    Right, Me an unattractive man with messy hair. Left, me with great hair! Imagine what Vera will be able to do for you, an attractive person!
    Joe B.

    This review is for a specific stylist at Say Lula, Vera Blatchley. Vera has been cutting my hair for over 2 years. By far the longest I've had one barber. I've alway kind of dreaded getting my hair cut. I don't know how to describe what I want and leave disappointed. Since Vera has been my barber I've not had that problem. She is easy to talk to and takes the time to know what her clients want and how to get your hair just right. I've always been satisfied with the quality of her work and her professionalism. If you're looking for a reliable barber I strongly recommend Vera for all your styling needs. She charges a very reasonable $30 for a standard haircut. I recommend you schedule an appointment as she is usually book out a week or so in advance and getting a walk-in would be very unusual. I can't comment on the other stylists at Say Lula as I've only had Vera cut my hair. I do notice there is always a steady flow of happy customers. The shop itself is clean, well lit, and nicely decorated. They carry a good variety of hair care products. Park for free (!) in the lot behind the shop.

    This review is a while overdue but I got my nails done here last Saturday by Jordan and I'm pretty sure I found my go-to San Diego nail spot . [Area]: salon is super cute and clean looking. It's a small store located in the middle of the block so make sure you keep an eye out for the sign and there's parking in the back! [Service]: I found this Jordan off Groupon and initially wasn't about to book an appointment with her. The day before my grad party I decided to text her to try and schedule and she was able to accommodate due to a cancel! Other than her friendly personality, she gave me exactly the nails I wanted and made sure from every step that I was satisfied. I couldn't decide between two colors and she gave me her opinions to do both and add jewels . Overall: there are a lot of decent nail places in San Diego but having a nail artist create a wonderful experience through art and by showing that she cares makes a worlds difference. Definitely recommending everyone!

    and this is what happens when i don't see her for several months.  savage beast.

    OK. I live in San Francisco. I FLY down here to get my hair done. RACHEL. Is AMAZING. I've going to her for, I don't know. Four years? Granted, my hair IS screaming infidelities becuase sometimes I get a little desperate, but I keep coming back. I have followed her all around SD, and I don't know. I love the way she cuts my hair, how she won't let me leave the salon unless it is PERFECT, how she takes her time. And PS, it's pretty amazing when you're walking around Fashion Valley or Hillcrest or WHEREVER and people stop you, because your hair is awesome. It's more phenomenal when other stylists stop you, and start examining your haircut. And double PS, I'm sitting here in SF with hair in my eyes because I won't let anyone touch it. Anymore. I'm tired of disasters. I followed her from Premier Atelier in Fashion Valley, to Freelance in Hillcrest, and now here. She's THAT good.

    New 'do!

    I am really happy with my experience. Rachel has made my hair so healthy! Everyone has complimented how great it looks :) I used a groupon. I made my appointment online, which worked out really well. I used groupon because I've only been in San Diego for a year and I haven't been home in months - I needed a cut. Rachel was super friendly and I love my hair :) I will definitely be back!

    Getting my hair done :)

    Fresh cut by Leo
    Momentus C.

    I have been going to Leo for about three years. It's like one of those things that when you find a great spot, you can't see yourself going anywhere else. He's been amazing and is very talented. He really takes his time to cut your hair just the way you like it. However, ever since I've met him I've always said. Just do whatever you want, make it shorter and cleaner. He's always done something new and what he know would look good on me. I think it's good to just let go and let a professional do his job. It helps me learn new techniques and keeps an artist I inspired. So guys! Go see Leo and don't be too picky. Hair grows really fast, try something new once in a while. Leo is a perfect guy for that! -Chris

    Great service, loved the decor:). My stylist was young and spunky, and knowledgable about my hair type and the products. She offered my beverages, and was engaged, but not overly smothering me as a newbie:). I did use a Groupon, and added to the service, so with that, and a tip - I'd say I got a good deal, with excellent results. If you're into the fun, artsy environment, with stylish hairdressers, this is a great place to land:).

    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.

    Uyen is beyond talented. She takes her time, and makes sure you are 100% satisfied before you…read moreleave. I've never had to worry about my hair when I see her. The salon is gorgeous, and the quality is top tier. Would recommend!

    I had two recent appointments here and unfortunately had a very poor experience…read more I paid over $600 for lightening and vivid color services, expecting to work directly with the owner. However, significant portions of the service were performed by an assistant without my consent. The appointments were also heavily overbooked--I spent over 10 hours in the salon across two visits, much of that time waiting. More concerning was the outcome. My hair has sustained significant damage, including breakage in the front where an entire layer was overprocessed and broke off, requiring me to cut bangs to cover it. The overall condition of my hair is now extremely dry, brittle, and straw-like--the worst it has been in over 25 years of coloring my hair. There were also technical issues during the service. My color was rinsed prematurely, which removed pigment and required reapplication, leading to additional unnecessary processing. My eyebrows were also affected during the service and had to be corrected afterward at my own expense. I reached out directly to try to resolve this, but was only offered a partial refund that does not reflect the extent of the damage or the corrective work now required. He damaged my hair beyond repair and now refuses to even take accountability and refund me - so that I can attempt to begin the healing journey for my hair. When I attempted to resolve this directly, my concerns were dismissed and I was offered only a minimal partial refund that did not reflect the outcome. The tone of the response did not feel professional or solution-oriented. There is no amount of money that can reverse the damage to my hair, but a full refund would be a reasonable acknowledgment of the outcome and the cost now required to correct it.

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 !!
