Strut Hair Solutions is truly that - they really do have a good solution to all your hair concerns. Kayla and the other girls at this shop are very knowledgeable, kind and fun to work with. I went into the shop a few years ago with a friend to get a wig for a cruise that we were taking when she confided in me that she often wore a wig ( I could never tell) and that she loved to take them on trips, especially cruises. I purchased two really fun wigs and wore them every night on that cruise. After that, I was spoiled, and I would pop a wig on whenever we went out at night at home, especially if the weather was humid or foggy, and I knew that my own hair would fizz up. Then things got serious and when a few months later I found myself going through Chemo and radiation and I really needed to wear a wig as my hair became very thin. The girls at Strut were wonderful and helped me find the perfect wigs and did a fabulous job of cutting and styling them for me. Now that my hair has pretty much recovered I still go into to purchase toppers that add volume to my hair and they look great! So glad that this store is here in our community. I have no reservation giving Strut and the employees 5 starts! read more

Jessica was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the products and services they offer. The entire experience I received from Jessica from the start to the end was beyond what I expected. Her customer service made me feel comfortable asking questions and I left feeling much better. Kayla who was also present was very friendly and shared some knowledge on the products. I was able to witness her amazing hair styling skills. Helena is lucky to have these two talented and amazing women who come to work and help lift up women struggling with their own hair battles. I hope this location stays open for a very long time! read more

I came here with my sister because she was starting chemo and needed a wig . Hannah the girl that helped us was so awesome and so caring she took so much time with my sister ,. I greatly appreciate how helpful she was and I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone in need of the same thing. read more

Life changing visit! I went in discouraged and depressed, and walked out feeling fabulous. Jessica was awesome and the business is run safely and sanitary. Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely AMAZING service!! Nori was incredibly helpful. We (my mother, father and I) stormed in, a ball of nerves and a whirlwind of energy, yet Nori greeted us and steered us through 3.5 hours of dedicated assistance. My mother just finished her chemotherapy and was very nervous. Nori kept our spirits high and was so patient as we all went back and forth trying to make this difficult decision. She trimmed the final wig ( my mother tried on about 20, and went back and fourth many times) and styled the winning wig in store so we were ready to hit the ground running!! The store has a range of wigs in different styles and price ranges. I would highly recommend coming here for all your wig needs, and ask for NORI read more

Kayla is so sweet and she spends so much time making sure you're completely happy with everything before you leave!

I purchased from Strut in January, 2019 and was so pleased that I returned. Walking into Strut was like returning to see old friends. Kayla and Nori warmly greeted me. Kayla devoted an extraordinary amount of time to make sure I was satisfied with my new purchase. In the process I returned several times as we worked toward achieving just the right hair color. She never tried to upscale the sale and I never ever felt pressured. Kayla used her expertise to help guide me to just the right selection. At Strut they do not sell wigs, they are consultants who present many options. While I was in the salon I saw many others who were also benefitting from many choices. This kind of personal attention cannot be found online or at Amazon! If I could, I would give Strut 6 stars. read more

Greatest customer service by Hanah, and a beautiful, quality wig. Beat thing I've ever done for my wife.

Strut has so many options and Kayla was awesome! I took my mom in here for some extension / toppers and she was so helpful and sweet and made sure mom really liked how she felt about her hair. We will definitely be back again for a visit! read more

So impressed with the team at Strut Solana Beach! Had a great experience, and will recommend to anyone looking for a hair boost!

Wonderful customer service, extremely knowledgeable staff and a great variety of wigs. I have several synthetic wigs having lost all my hair due to chemotherapy treatments and over time the longer ones have become quite matted, they washed and conditioned one of them for a very reasonable price and it looks so much better! I just purchased a lovely real hair wig at a great price from Helena, it's very comfortable and no where near as hot as my other wigs...and I get so many compliments! read more

Kayla, you are amazing! Thank you so much for all of the personal attention and helping me with all of my questions. I don't know what I would have done if I had not found this place. High quality beautiful hair All of the staff is great! They really helped me find the hair that was right for me. a million thanks! See you next week :) read more

I'd been wanting to check out City Wigs since it opened and finally made it in yesterday. What I saw was really impressive. Unlike a lot of wig stores, which feature dated, mostly short styles, City Wigs had a beautiful selection of long wigs and stylish shorter wigs, plus hair pieces and extensions. The wigs were easy to view in well-kept open surroundings. Besides a selection to do Southern California proud, there were service areas, including a special room in back for those who prefer to try on and style wigs in private, and there were open stations for cuts and styling. Helena, who i learned is the owner, greeted me as soon as I walked in. She spent a lot of time with me, and I learned she has a location that's been going strong in Fresno, California, for ten years - even through the economic downturn. She knows more about wigs and hair pieces than anyone I've ever met and last year published her own book on the subject. She apparently has a national reputation as a wig expert and consults and teaches for some of the top wig manufacturers in the world. I understand that she was asked specifically to open a store in North County due to the lack of quality wig retailers here. And for those who don't live so close by, I can tell you: it definitely is worth the drive. One thing I want to share to save hundreds -if not thousands- of dollars for anyone who needs or likes wigs and hair pieces: You can spend a lot money with online wig retailers, but because individual needs are so distinctive, it is MUCH smarter to go to a respectable store. That way you don't have to worry about mistakes in color, mis-impressions from photos, or how a particular hair piece will look on you. At the shop, you can try on the wigs - dozens if that's what it takes - to find your most flattering look before you part with your hard-earned cash. I'm pretty sure that services like the cut and fitting are included in the price at City Wigs, and it's a huge plus to have a knowledgeable, live person to help you in the selection process and answer any questions you might have. This is important because health codes - like those preventing the return of undergarments - prevent the return of wigs, making it especially important to get it right the first time. If you buy online, you may be stuck with a hair piece that doesn't work for you. Back to City Wigs specifically: the emphasis on modern styles and knowledgeable service, plus a clean and open presentation of merchandise, make it the best wig/hair piece/ extension store I have visited. When Jessica Simpson and Beyonce wear wigs every day, and others starlets get hair pieces and extensions for photo shoots, public appearances, and special occasions, it's nice to know that a work-a-day girl like me can go in for some star treatment and walk out camera ready. read more

Outstanding wig selection and great in-store assistance. My wife is very satisfied with her purchase!! Highly recommended!!

I have had a wonderful experience in the Strut Hair Solutions in Solana Beach. Be careful about having your hairpiece cut or shaped here. I bought a beautiful hair topper for 1000.00 only to have it so badly cut I cannot wear it. Helena the owner could not have been more helpful even though at my scheduled appointment time she was having her hair highlighted. I now have a hairpiece and cannot wear it to my son's wedding. I already know that despite what Yelp claims this will be placed in the "inappropriate comments" section. If only one new customer sees this before that happens I will be happy I wrote this. And I will continue. My last review was rejected. I highly recommend this salon if you want to be treated poorly. By the way, Joanne IS the best! read more

Excellent place to get your hair on. Don't walk, run to Strut Hair Solutions. They have what you need, and know what they are talking about. One stop shop. Don't waist your time in other places. read more

I just wanted to follow up and say that I continue to refer people to Strut. They offer a variety of services and solutions to various hair needs. read more

Joanna is the best- I needed help as I am losing my hair to Chemo and needed idea's for work and play to feel like my professional and confident self! She was able to fit me with what I needed! read more

Strut is AMAZING! I walked in with tears in my eyes because it was my first visit to a wig shop since starting chemo therapy. Kayla could not have been more compassionate, caring and helpful with helping me make my decision. She is an angel. The wig I chose looks so natural and is so comfortable...honestly made me wonder why I haven't considered a wig even before my diagnosis. The tears I entered the store with became tears of joy by the end of my visit. As someone going through a cancer journey, I highly recommend Strut. Their beautiful wigs will add to the confidence and positivity needed to fight this terrible disease. Thank you Kayla and the Strut team! read more

I had so many questions and concerns about getting extensions and the gals at Strut put my mind at rest right off the bat. They are so well trained and knowledgable; not only did they give me an overview of options with pros and cons on each, but they were patient and and honest. The color and quality of the hair and method I decided on has far exceeded my expectations. Its true what they say - you get what you pay for and the relationship, trust and quality was worth every penny! Ill be coming back for my maintenance in a few months! Thanks girls! read more

I had an amazing experience at Strut Hair Solutions! I was guided through the whole process by Kayla who was wearing a wig herself and she looked awesome! I couldn't tell that she was actually wearing a wig. She even invited me to call her with any questions I might have. I don't think I could have picked a better wig salon or sales representative. Virginia read more

Amazing! The owner, Helena, is professional, knowledgeable, and really knows her product. Her goal is to have her clients leave her shop knowing they're looking great and feeling confident. Her prices are reasonable...the quality of her wigs runs the gamut and she takes pride in helping you make your decision. She listens to what you're looking for and helps you find it! I went in to her shop (the first wig shop I went to in San Diego area) just to look. I had lost much of my hair because of a thyroid condition. Helena helped me make a decision and I left with a new human hair, lace wig. I am so happy with my choice. I would highly recommend Strut Hair Solutions to anyone who is looking for a compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable expert to help them make a wise decision in this very personal journey. read more

I can't say enough about Strut Hair Solutions. I have alopecia and have tried several wig stores over the years. After my first experience with Strut I felt like I'd found exactly what I'd been looking for. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The salon is very warm and welcoming. It is truly a personal hair salon where you receive lots of TLC. I'll never go anywhere else. read more

I had the greatest experience here. I brought my mother-in-law in to treat her to a wig for her 90th birthday. Kayla met with us. She was very knowledgeable, professional and extremely friendly. With her expertise, my mother-in-law found the perfect wig. It made her feel young again. She was so happy. I ended up getting a beautiful wig for myself as well. I cannot recommend Strut Hair Solutions and Kayla enough. The shop is well supplied, has a good atmosphere, and the owner Helene is very nice and knowledgeable as well. Diane L. read more

Brought my mother in for a wig. Kayla was super helpful. After my mom was done, Kayla showed me a "topper". Life changing! I look like me but a super better version. I get compliments and no one gets it's not my hair!!! (a few suspicious!) Really great experience. Highly recommend Strut Hair Solutions. Just let them know your needs! read more

Came here with my mom to get something that looked real and these ladies were sooo nice! They let us stroll around the shop looking at hundreds of wigs for over an hour without even a hint of being annoyed with us. They answered ll of our questions and even taught us how to maintain the hair after buying the right one. My mom was pleased and so was I! read more

I first came to City Wigs looking for a hair piece to compensate for my hair loss due to a minor illness. I was absolutely delighted to find so many current trendy styles in a variety of colors, lengths and textures. Helena was so welcoming, compassionate and well informed. We clicked immediately! She spent a lot of time with me as I tried on wigs, discussed the options available (real hair versus synthetic) and how to care for them. I left wearing an adorable wig, feeling so confident and happy! Now six months and many cute wigs later, I no longer need to wear one. However, since City Wigs offers all sorts of alternative hair solutions I continue to go there for tape in hair extensions. Jane is an awesome stylist and colorist! Recently she skillfully put in my extensions, highlighted my real hair, and blended the two so it looks simply beautiful! I've been to the store many, many times and I've personally witnessed both Helena and Jane provide the same outstanding personal attention, patience and compassion to all of their customers. It is a "whole solutions" hair salon in my opinion, not only a store for hairpieces. I am so happy with the service and products that I drive from El Cajon to Solana Beach because I can not find another place in San Diego that comes close to the same caliber as City Wigs. The store is easily found, it is very clean, and the displays are nicely arranged. Appointments are even available if you'd like to schedule a personal consultation, which is a plus when you drive as far as I do. Helena is extremely knowledgeable about all the different hair solutions available today, and there are a lot more than the average person realizes. Go with confidence, you'll be happy you did! read more

I was very pleased with my City Wig experience. The owner-operator Helena took one look at me and immediately brought out a style and color that suited me perfectly. I love it. Compliments abound since I have been wearing it. People really like my new style -- they say "your hair looks so nice". This is the result of getting not only the right style and color but having a good quality wig. For a woman on the go with little time for self styling or money for salons, City Wigs is the answer. read more

Kayla was a wonderful, honest resource during our experience shopping for a wig. She was very sweet and helpful, providing valuable information about the options. The store had numerous options and many more that could be ordered! read more

I bought a hair piece that I was told would last a year. After a week of wearing it, it was a Tangled knotted mess!!Terrible hair! When I brought the hair back the woman was rude said it wasn't her problem. Poor Quality Hair and Terrible service! Save your money. read more

I've been wanting some sort of extensions for a while now and the piece I got from Strut Wigs totally exceeded my expectations! I am in love with my piece (and it's very easy to put in and take out) and have gotten SO many compliments when I wear it, which is pretty much all the time. Brittany is fantastic - extremely helpful. And, it's a fun place to be. I purchased my piece and Brittany encouraged me to come back if I needed help or needed it cut, which I did. In fact, I've gone back a few times and she showed my how to style it. I would highly recommend Strut Wigs for anyone who wants their hair to look better, fuller, longer or just absolutely incredible. read more

Do not recommend this establishment after it changed hands from City Wigs. The manager is rude. They do not fit the wigs properly or cut them right. They overcharged me for my wig and took a non-refundable deposit????? The wig was not the color I ordered. I have been to other places and found out how much the wig should have cost and the other stablishments do not ask for a non-refundable deposit. read more

I came into Strut about a 2 months after being diagnosed with breast cancer and right before my first chemo treatment. I wanted to purchase a wig before I lost my hair and as soon as I met Kayla I knew I was in the right place. My daughter was with me and Kayla let us both try on numerous wigs. She selected various wigs that matched my current style and color and helped make me feel comfortable with what would ultimately be very uncomfortable. I lost all my hair 2 weeks ago and started wearing my wig that I love. Kayla picked a winner and even cut bangs for it. Honestly everyone thinks I just got my hair done.! When I had to wash it this weekend for the first time I was so nervous I did it wrong I left a message at Strut and Kayla called me back and assured me I had done it correctly. She's the best and their wigs are too. I couldn't be happier in a most stressful time of treatment. But I owe feeling good about the way my "hair" looks to Strut and the excellent service from Kayla. read more

For months, I procrastinated on exploring wigs, even though my hair loss, due to medications, had become uncomfortably embarassing. When I finally took my initial step by going to Struts, I never looked back. Both Kayla and Helena were amazing, and couldn't be kinder or more helpful, without any pressure. I since have purchased 3 wigs - one natural hair and 2 synthetic. Have received lots of compliments and complete astonishment if I choose to disclose that my beautiful hair is actually a wig! Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

This is a wonderful shop! The stylists are superb and very supportive. I have always had thin hair and this is the best solution that I have found after many years of not being satisfied. BRAVO! read more

I LOVE this place! Brittany and Helena are nothing short of amazing- Brittany helped me find the perfect extensions; her fun/friendly personality was refreshing & her professional attitude confirmed this was the right place. I had been going to a guy who seemed like he was increasing the cost of my service by about another $100 every time I saw him & the quality continued to go down. These girls are great and they will go the extra mile to make sure you walk out of their store looking the best you can. read more

I have never written a yelp report in my life, but I feel the public should know about this shop. Even though City Wigs has a large selection of wigs the owner/manager is extremely unethical. She charged us for a wig for my 88 year old mother, and what should have been a lovely surprise turned into a nightmare. My mother had previously bought a wig from her 6 months ago, and since she loved it, we decided to get another one for her birthday. The owner charged the price of the wig and mailing to Canada and said it was sent out. Almost 3 weeks after it should have arrived, mystery upon mystery, no wig. I found out she got around to sending it out on her schedule almost 2 weeks late, using USPS instead of FEDEX. I called her repeatedly about the wig not arriving, and she made excuses and was extremely passive aggressive. Low and behold, when it finally arrived, it was nothing like the first one. It was exactly 1/3 the size and multi-colored (brown, dark blonde, and blonde). I believe she knew it was the wrong wig when she mailed it!! I told her it was not in the store when we were there, but somehow she said she found one in the back. When I called her to tell her it was the wrong wig, she said, bring it back and I will refund the shipping and cost of the wig. This was a birthday gift and it has dragged on from January through the end of March. I called her today and she said she would refund the monies owed. My husband got to City Wigs (which is 1 hour drive each way) and the owner started to fight with him to get out of her shop. No refund!! Fighting about shipping costs! We have lived in San Diego for over 20 years and never had any experience like this! The owner is unethical and a liar. She does not stand by her product and took advantage of an 88 year old woman who lives in Canada!! We have invested countless phone calls telling her it did not arrive, it is being sent back, it is the wrong wig...She took no responsibility. She is a thief. I am writing this review so that no other woman young or old gets taken by this dishonest shopkeeper. read more

three stars on my first visit, but i could have given more! thanks to Brittany; she was extremely courteous, thoughtful and gracious. her attitude and personality made me feel like a valued customer and in no way did she ever make a negative or demeaning comment. i am absolutely grateful for having had a good visit here. i left feeling encouraged instead of discouraged. the shop is nice and the location is easy to get to. read more
