So glad I discovered Split Ends. As a newbie to SD finding the right hairdressers can be a challenge. Cyndi corrected my brassy highlights and cut my hair to shape my oval face. Florence styled my hair beautifully and artfully applied makeup (complimentary service). If you are still looking for that hairstylist, look no further. I highly recommend Split Ends.

Service was excellent. They were all very nice and attentive. I decided to cut my hair really short and the cut was absolutely gorgeous - not many people know how to cut short hair for women (in my opinion). I also had high and low lights done. I have to say I did not care for the result of my highlights - might color looks brassy and it lacks depth. read more

Wonderful locally-owned salon in PB! Cyndi did an amazing job with my hair cut - she kept the length I wanted and added wonderful face-framing long layers. My hair is sooo much healthier now. Booking the appointment was extremely easy over the phone, everyone wore masks, and everyone was so so friendly. Cut was greatly priced at $65. read more

Love coming here. I have been coming here for the last few years. I love Cindy's work. I highly recommend her! read more

Split Ends - Hair cut - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

I have been coming to Split Ends for well over 5 years now. From my initial visit Cyndi and her entire staff have been nothing short of amazing and exactly why I continue to come back! She and Florence who will always greet you at the front with a smile (and also helps with my eyebrows & make up) are always attentive and listen to exactly what I want and deliver every single time. I usually get a cut and full head of highlights. I always receive compliments on how beautiful my hair is and I really can't take credit for it because Split Ends is what keeps the hair compliments coming! Thank you guys for sticking it out through these tough times (COVID) and keeping things top notch and safe! read more

I'm so happy that I've found my new hair stylist !!! Today I had my hair cut & styled for the first time at Split Ends. I was a "walk in" & had no appointment. What a lovely salon ! Everyone was welcoming & very friendly . Luckily, I was assigned to Alena !! Because of her skill she gave me the best haircut I've had in years. Alena couldn't have been more thorough or professional in discussing what I wanted in a haircut & making important suggestions . Alena is truly a credit to Split Ends , she's a gem !! I love my new hairdo... thanks to Alena !! Laura Drury read more

Ever since I started coming to get my hair done with Cyndi earlier this year I constantly get compliments on my hair color. Seriously - more often than I could imagine! She listens to what you want and I trust her to make my hair look beautiful every time. She's a master at highlights/color and has taught me how good a root brightener makes my hair look! And she doesn't take forever and is funny on top of everything :) I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

What an amazing experience! I've gone to barbers my entire life, usually just jumping around because I tend to wait till the last minute to get chopped up. Never again. I've seen the other side and there is no going back. From the time I walked in the doors I was already enjoying a better experience. Instead of the usual, walk in, stand at the front, and awkwardly wait for a barber to yell over to you, Florence welcomed me with a warm smile and I was already sold. Cindy, the owner, sat me down to cut my hair and needless to say, I've never looked (or felt) better. From the actual cut to the conversation to the hair washing to the facial massage and the warm towel finish. Sigh. I want to go back and get my hair cut all over again. I enjoyed the service so much I added on an eyebrow wax and a different man walked out those doors. I'm never going anywhere else. You guys have won my business forever. read more

Cyndi over processed my hair. I had gone to her 5 times with so so results. During my last and final appointment she put me under a hair dryer even though I had asked her not to as my hair is very fragile. It came out super light with no depth or variation in color as I had requested. It felt like straw. Then it started to break off. I had to cut 3 inches off after trying to grow my hair out for years. It is still very broken around my face. I only post this because I was very specific about no hair dryer, but she used it anyway and ruined my hair. I am very upset and sad. read more

First red flag - dry cut Second red flag - very pushy with product selling Third red flag - asking if I would color my hair....I've always had people tell me they want my natural hair color.... Fourth - saying I should get my hair cut every 2 months....never going to do that Fifth - my scalp should at least be dry before I leave Last but not least - way too much money Pretty disappointed for a standard cut. Uncomfortable experience. read more

At first they really helped my hair color. But now that I've been going there for over a year straight and the haircuts/thinning shears have ruined my hair. It's over priced ($200 for partial highlights and a trim) and the quality is worse than super cuts. See photos. One photo is of my ends 2 weeks after my haircut. The other is of my roots after I paid $130 for highlights to lighten my roots. Cindy is super pushy with make up sales, product sales, and expensive extra "deep conditioning treatments" which don't help. Antonette actually gave good haircuts, but she's gone now. read more

Super welcoming and friendly environment while maintaining excellent professionalism.

Incredible service! I wandered into this place after getting a surprise afternoon off of work. I decided to treat myself to a haircut and salon experience and was pampered way beyond my expectations. The scalp massage and treatment paired with a mini facial was SO relaxing and Cyndi did an amazing job on my hair. Florence took over and did my makeup and, I swear, it's never looked that good. Both ladies were very sweet and I left feeling absolutely beautiful and refreshed. Cherry on top- it was VERY reasonably priced. I will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely in love with Split Ends Hair Salon in PB!!! I have been searching for a reliable, high-quality hair salon for the past four years and finally found one! I get my hair done by Cyndi who has been doing hair for 18 years. She is an expert at what she does and I wouldn't want to get my hair touched by anyone else now! Not to mention the fact that she is a total sweetheart and great to talk to. During my last visit, I went it for a retouch on my blonde because I wanted to match my hair extensions. Cyndi and Courtney (one of the newer hires who is also a sweetheart!) gave me a balayage, ombre, and root bump to fix my hair and they did an INCREDIBLE job! I was literally speechless leaving the salon. They matched my hair perfectly, I had a great time, and have been getting compliments nonstop since. Can't wait for my next visit! Hands down best salon in PB! read more

I have tried countless (and by countess I mean at least four) different hair salons in San Diego since moving here two years ago, and nothing has compared to the experience I had today at Split Ends. I came in for a wash/cut/blow with Ashley. Your cut starts with a "relaxing massage" which is more like a full-on five minute scalp, neck, and shoulder massage experience. Then you go to your wash, which would be normal except that you also receive a complimentary exfoliation facial treatment as well. So far, I'm all in. Another important thing to me in a salon is that my stylist actually listens to what I want and doesn't just go crazy with what they think would look good. Ashley completely understood what I was looking for and anytime she thought an adjustment might make it look better, she asked me before just doing it! I'm trying to grow my hair out, so I'm very sensitive about cutting too much off-- Ashley made me feel totally comfortable and not anxious about having it cut. Will definitely be back! read more

I've been looking for a good Aveda salon since moving to PB that is reasonably priced and have a good knowledge base of Aveda. I stumbled upon this place walking by and booked a balyalage and keratin treatment hair appointment. Cindy did my color and cut which came out fabulous! I get so many compliments about my hair and she really understood what I had envisioned. Making this my go to salon! read more

I made an appointment with Cyndi for a cut and dye. I got pink peekaboos in my hair. She was very patient with my long hair, and did a fantastic job with the cut and dye. This salon is also an Aveda hair salon so it has all the top notch products that you should absolutely check out. With that said, you won't be disappointed if you book with Cyndi! read more

So impressed with this place! 1-For starters, when I walked in they had Hozier playing on the radio. A+ for good music 2- they immediately offered me water or tea after checking in and gave me a quick tour of their salon and product line. A+ for hospitality 3- I came in for a haircut and received a complimentary scalp massage with some kind of aromatherapy oil subtle enough to help me relax. A+ for customer service 4- after a good wash I explained the style I wanted with two or three pictures to give a general idea of what I wanted. Joanne listened intently and was so polite about the disaster of a haircut I tried to give myself. And even humored my request for a before picture. A+ for bedside manor! 5-after my cut, which was way better than I had expected since I butchered it before lol, she walked me through a few products that would meet my needs. I love that everything they offer is natural and good for my hair without any harsh chemicals. There was no pushing or aggressive sales as I half expected based on other reviews. A+ for quality products 6- lastly as I checked out the receptionist, could've been the owner not sure, gave me a $20 discount for it being my first time. She mentioned it when I made the appointment but I really didn't expect the follow through based on my experience at other salons. A+ for follow through and communication! 7- The entire experience overall could not have been better. Joanne was so efficient focused and gentle. She works quickly but not rushed. And isn't a chatterbox, thank god. Even her scissors were quiet! I dozed off a little during the blow dry and round brushing. A+ for money well spent read more

Split Ends is the best! Not only did Cyndi fix my bad hair color that was done at another salon, but she also cut it and styled it to perfection. I'm so happy with how the color turned out. I get so many compliments Definitely worth the money read more

Can't say enough great things about split ends hair salon!! I have been going here for the last year and am always blown away with how my stylist just gets what I'm looking for and love the results. So friendly, very affordable, I recommend split ends all day everyday! read more

I had the best experience at Spit Ends. I needed a haircut and then decided to go with a partial low-light color to bring my hair together. Not only did I have a blast chit chatting with the staff, but I got an amazing cut and color. AND, a mini facial and hand massage! They offered a makeup touch up as well (all part of the Split Ends package), but I declined because I was so excited to get home and show off my fresh haircut/color. The staff is friendly and it's like a family when you walk in. Hugs all around and hot or cold tea while you are pampered. Lovely experience. Lovely people. read more

Great haircut and product recommendations from Cyndi. I was looking for an Aveda salon and found Split Ends in PB - I was able to get an appointment a few days after I called. Cyndi gave me a cut and suggested some Aveda products that were best for my hair - would definitely recommend! read more

I went to get my hair colored silver/grey but I had to bleach it first so I wanted to do both bleach and color in the same day. The consultants told me that it would be very damaging for my hair since I would have to bleach it to white before I could get the color of grey that I wanted. I was a little disappointed at first because that's the color I had been wanting for a long time but they told me that I could still get other colors without completely destroying my hair so I kept an open mind. We spent about 2 hours bleaching my hair (which was previously lightened by me). Throughout the whole bleaching process my hairstylist Jennifer was very careful to not hurt me since I had just gotten a new piercing on my right ear. She also taught me a lot about the art of dying hair, how there were many levels of blonde and that I needed to go up a lot more levels but to do it all at once would be very damaging for my hair. She bleached my hair very evenly and listened to my requests very well. After bleaching, I decided to color my whole hair purple and save the grey for next time. Overall it took about 4 hours and it was a very fun experience. I will definitely come back. read more

Cyndi is a miracle worker! my hair was a mess, and now, everyone comments on how beautiful my hair is now! I totally recommend them!!

This is one of the best salons in San Diego, I have been coming here for over 10 years. It's so close to the beach, and the stylists here are professionally trained, plus they have a great selection of Aveda products. They are very experienced and have great customer service, and the energy in the salon is kind and welcoming. They are all incredibly knowledgeable. The owner Cyndi is always making sure her clients are happy and taken care of; she has incredible awareness and work ethic, and she makes you feel happy and well cared for . I highly recommend coming here! read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Dulce for few good years now and I love how good she is! The salon itself is very cute and cozy. All stylists are very friendly. However, a day after I scheduled an appointment with Dulce I find out she's leaving the salon. Turns out she was not working there at the time I called to schedule the appt. I'm guessing they would have me see another stylist because my requested stylist is not available. Not cool!! Please be honest, and I would consider your salon for future services. Currently, I'm just following Dulce in another aveda salon. read more

100 stars! Cindy saved my wedding day. It was hours before I was to walk down the aisle, and my hair was a mess. I was frantic, ok, I was Bridezilla actually. I called Split Ends, in tears, asking if they could help. Cindy answered, and told me to come right over. I was greeted with warm tea which helped me calm down. Cindy immediately took over and even though she was busy, it was a Saturday, I was treated like a queen! She washed, cut and my hair in a lovely updo. I was then treated to a skin moisturizing mask and full make up! Oh, I almost forgot, after the shampoo she gave me an arm and hand massage, soooo relaxing. Anyway, she uses Aveda products. I have never used them, and wow!! I love how they make my hair feel, and they smell wonderful. Kiri, who did my blow out and make up was amazing. I am very grateful to these kind and talented women. When I walked in the door, my fiance was stunned. He had tears in his eyes when he told me I never looked so beautiful. Just what a bride needs to hear on the most important celebration day of her life. I can't thank Cindy and Kiri enough. read more

First time going and was nervous about seeing a new hair stylist. Was welcomed by a very nice receptionist who washed my hair and gave me a facial. After that seen Cyndi for a haircut and style. It was amazing. Such a great team and loved my new style. Highly recommend this salon. read more

Cyndi saved my hair! I had gotten a really bad color and cut done at a different Salon and the next day I went to split ends to have it fixed. It wasn't an easy fix but Cyndi did an amazing job and now my hair looks beautiful! I recommend this place not only for the fantastic service but also great products. I will definitely be back. read more

Antonet at Split Ends did AMAZING!! I had been noticing my hair was frizzier than usual and it felt very dry so I wanted a keratin treatment. I was in town visiting family from Texas and wanted to get it done the day I got in. Antonet was able to book me the day of and did a great job! My hair is shiny, soft and finally frizz free. read more

I have been coming to Split Ends Salon for years now. It's become a tradition for my dad and I to both get our cuts together. I've had cuts from just about everyone there. Everyone is so friendly and I always look forward to coming back. On top of the haircuts I always opt for the shampoo, massage, and hot towel. I was very excited when the governor announced that salons could finally open, so I booked an appointment right away. When I arrived, I entered with my mask, I grabbed some hand sanitizer, I had my temperature taken, and then I proceeded to have my haircut by Cyndi. Cyndi was very efficient and I was in and out in about 20 min. Split Ends has done a great job at making the necessary Covid-19 adjustments. Everything was very clean and sanitized and I felt very comfortable. I'm not even gonna say if because I know you need a haircut. I highly recommend getting yours done at Split Ends. read more

Split Ends - Fresh quarantine cut! - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

Split Ends was the first place l could find, close to Clairemont, that answed my call and offered me an almost immediate appointment. I understand it's hard to stay open during covid, but Cyndi (Owner - Stylist) is willing to do what it takes to stay open. She was friendly, a good conversationalist and, most importantly, she quickly cut my unmanageable mop of hair back down to size. And made it look spectacular! Which is hard to do! I was extremely impressed! I won't be going anywhere else for my hair cutting needs from now on! I highly recommend Split Ends Hair Salon in Pacific Beach. read more

I have had by hair done by Cyndi for many years now. I won't let anyone else touch it. She is magical with scissors - she just know what will work on you. I am someone who likes to change my look often and so I have had many different styles all created by Cyndi and each delightful in its own way. She is really an artist. I have recommended her to everyone in the family and they all tried her out and then kept coming back (all genders in the family). In addition to her skill with scissors she is also a great colorist, both if you want something different (a splash of color in contrast - purple, blue, or other) or if you are more traditional in your color choices. She does recommend products but if you don't want something just say no. It's not a problem. Personally, I have always been happy with the recommendations. If you want excellent hair, good service, and a great atmosphere I definitely recommend Split Ends. read more

I went there on thursday night to ask about a consultation for a hair coloring. When I showed them what I would like, their response was "did you lose a bet?" and made several comments that were low key insulting me. When I insisted that it was what I wanted, they tried talking me out of it by only saying "It will be expensive, painful, and take a long time". I left and went across the street to Bishop's and they gave me what I wanted and it looks great. I am disappointed that this place wouldn't even consider taking my money to help me out. read more

THEY'VE REOPENED!!! This review is long, long overdue! I was able to get my hair done again for the first time in months (due to Covid) and am so grateful to Cyndi for weathering this quarantine shut down and adapting so dramatically for their reopen. This shut down really highlighted how much Cyndi cares about her customers! She reached out throughout quarantine multiple times and texted straight away when they had their reopening plan in place. She even squeezed me in and stayed late on their first day reopen! The staff are clearly taking so much care to protect their customers and theirselves, with temperature checks at the door and sanitizing constantly throughout the service. Cyndi had 3 different types of masks on while she did my hair! They're obviously taking health precautions very seriously. I've been getting my hair done by Cyndi for almost four years now. She can do it all. Cyndi's fixed horrible dye jobs (from a different salon!), taken me from brown to platinum to purple and back again, cut awesome pixies and faux hawks, and helped me grow out my hair and get through the awkward phase two different times. She's the only person I trust now with my hair. This quarantine definitely made me realize how grateful I am to Split Ends and Cyndi for always taking care of my hair! So happy to be posting this to let others know they're reopened! Big thank you to split ends and Cyndi!!! read more
