Excellent customer service! Highly skilled in haircuts and color! Amazing with both male and female services! I'm able to take my entire family and everyone walks out happy! Additionally, she's great with special needs kids/adults! So patient and understanding with my autistic daughter! I highly recommend! read more

I want to preface that the customer service leading up to my visit was great. But with the result and response I received after, I feel is important to share. I'll keep it short, but the proof is in the photos. I don't know how anyone would let a customer walk away with all these blotches. I came in wanting solid color all around and was strongly encouraged to do a balayage. The result was not what we had discussed and can be seen in the photos. After sitting with it for a few hours, i reached out for assistance and was met with defensive messages that shifted blame to me for the outcome of the hair. I then asked for a refund and was informed that wasn't an option either. Please be weary, I saw the amazing photos from this shop, but I came out looking like this. read more

Antonette is an amazing stylist. I knew I was going to have a good experience when I saw her styling someone at 10pm! I was walking home and saw that her salon was still open and because it was nighttime I got to see inside her salon clearly. It was decorated so cute with a modern industrial look. Everything looked super clean and well kept and I felt confident she would do a good job. When I went in I let her know that I wasn't going to do much of a cut but I did want to do some color. I was nervous because I haven't dyed my hair in years and I had bad experiences before. I showed her pictures of what I was going for and she nailed it. She was able to emulate the style of anhcotran who is a celebrity stylist and honestly, I think she may have even done better! She knew exactly what it was that I was going for and executed perfectly. She spent a lot of time making sure it was exactly what I wanted and I appreciate what she did so much. I have never been so happy about my hair and based on all the compliments I'm getting, I don't think I would go to anyone else. Thank you Antonette! read more

If I can give 10 stars I would !! Antonette never misses! She gets my hair right EVERYTIME. Only person I trust to cut and color my hair! She is so knowledgeable and confident which I find to be important in any stylist! Love her! read more

Studio HBA - Absolutely love her work, I've been going to her for many years now. Recommend 101% - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Very unprofessional when it comes to booking appointments. Maybe she has too many clients and can't manage them all. I don't know but she needs a better system because I have been waiting days to hear back about scheduling appointments. She sends bits of a response but nothing professional enough to make an appointment. For someone who owns and runs her own business this is not the way to interact with clients. Won't be making another attempt for an appointment. read more

Love my new hair do. My hair is unruly and frizzy and Antoinette gave me a great cut. Im so glad she is here in the neighborhood. read more

I made an appointment with Antonette for a haircut in advanced and she did not disappoint! I asked for more face framing pieces and thin bangs, I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she styled it almost the exact same way. I loved the extra attention to detail; blow drying, styling and that wonderful scalp massage during the shampoo. I left feeling extremely pampered and like I had spent my money very well. Overall an affordable, stylish, fun and comfortable experience! Thank you Studio HBA I will definitely be coming back! read more

Studio HBA - freshly cut and styled hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Very disappointed. My wife works 7-5 and she books her appointment 2 weeks in advance. She calls to ask if it's okay to go in early and the owner says she forgot to book it and she is doing another service for someone else. Keep in mind that my wife has been going to her for many years now and always pays plus gives a very genuine tip every time. Very angry. read more

Coming from a customer's perspective the owner has been very attentive to me during this pandemic. I have been trying to schedule an appointment but due to COVID-19 she explained to me that she was not able to open sooner because she was waiting on the cities decision to reopen hair salons and was also looking out for her and her families health. She has communicated well with the reopening phase and was able to get back to me with more information (: read more

Absolutely love Studio HBA! Antonette does beautiful work and she has done an awesome job with the setup of her salon. The vibe of the salon is very inviting and trendy. Antonette, the owner and my stylist, is very professional, talented, and has an awesome personality. She is also amazing with brow waxes, for sure! I have been recommending her to any of my friends looking for a new, great stylist! read more

Studio HBA - Absolutely loved my balayage & haircut! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

My cousins & I are in San Diego for vacation. We have been doing trips every year for ten years. Debbie & I wanted to get a shampoo & blow dry so we were shopping for groceries & found Studio HBA. We made an appointment and arrived a little early and Antonette started on my hair. First she gave me a wonderful mini head massage while shampooing my hair. It was wonderful. She studied my hair as she went and was able to master it the first try. My hair is not easy to do. It is very fine and soft. Annette did a beautiful job. I was so happy with it and my cousin Debbie was too. Annette went to a lot of extra effort and if I lived here she would definitely be my choice for a hairdresser. read more

Antoinette is an amazing person and an awesome stylist. I have always loved the cut and how long it lasts. Local Golden Hill business is a plus. Just wish our schedules jived just a bit better. read more

Toni is amazing! I'm kinda bummed that I can't post pics of my recent hair transformation but trust me, it looks beautiful. She is extremely professional but I feel like I'm catching up with a friend each time I see her. I LOVE that she takes her time until not only am I satisfied with the outcome but that she is satisfied. I took my Mom in to see her for the first time (My mom is 76 years young) and she came out looking like a Hot Momma! Classy but hip too. Don't know how she does it, but this girl never ceases to amaze. I will follow her as long as she stays local. Go visit and support her new shop-very cool and right in the middle of the newly beautified Golden Hills. read more

OMG OMG OMG! When I say Antonette has the hands of an angel I truly mean it. Before going to Antonette my hair was fried, in a mix of red tones and black all over. I had tried to use color oops to remove the issue but I figured it was time to get a professional to do it. I was referred to Antonette by a co worker and I can't thank her enough for sending me in that direction! She not only worked with my schedule but got me in the chair quite fast and made my dreams come true. I was having doubts that she wouldn't be able to lift my hair color and it would look even worse but she got me to this beautiful caramel blonde balayage and I couldn't be happier. Insane amount of compliments from people and she definitely gave me that self esteem boost by bringing my hair to life again!! I can't wait for my second session to go even lighter! If you live in San Diego or anywhere else I would 100% recommend Antonette as your go to gal when it comes to hair. read more

I love getting my hair done here. Antoinette, who is also the owner, takes great care of my hair and is one of the most professional persons I know. I've been seeing her for 6 years and I will never trust anyone but Antoinette to take care of my hair. She is always up to date on the hottest color trends and I always trust her to color my hair in a way that makes me happy. Antoinette cuts my hair so well that it's never been able to grow longer than it is now. My hair length is nearly touching my backside! She always uses high caliber products and also gives the best scalp massage, EVER! Studio HBA (Hair By Antoinette) is a nice, clean salon located in a cool little shopping center in Golden Hill. I am always able to find parking right in front. The salon is next door to a quaint little gourmet market, a coffee shop and Panchitas bakery. Freeway access is super easy and close. read more

Toni is simply a hair magician! She is the only person I will trust with coloring my hair! The salon atmosphere is amazing as well!

Antoinette is absolutely fantastic at doing what she loves. I loved my hair and makeup for my nieces wedding! She not only is super talented but I felt like I was hanging out with a close friend. This was my first visit and it won't be my last. If anyone is looking for a fun, knowledgeable and mega-gifted hair/makeup genius, go to Studio HBA, you won't be sorry! Antoinette you are awesome lady! read more

Best hair salon in San Diego. You get the full experience here. I've had a hard time trying to find someone that can work with my curly hair and Antonette never fails to impress me. She is so sweet and genuinely cares about making the whole experience enjoyable for me. The studio is absolutely gorgeous.

When I first went to see Antonette the first thing I asked " Can you cover my grey's"? :) For some reason I had gone to a couple of hairstylist and had no luck with my grey's. But I was lucky to fine not only a friend but also an amazing hair stylist! I absoluteness love Studio HBA!! I now take my sister, mom and daughter. Great location too! read more

I've been a client of Antonette's for over 5 years, and am so grateful I found her. I have allergies, and could not use regular hair color. Antonette carries an organic, no ammonia, ppd free haircolor that works great for me. All the products she stocks in the salon are vegan friendly. Antonette is a great stylist, and amazing make-up artist. Her prices are very reasonable. If you are looking for a stylist that will listen to you, and give you the look you are hoping for, give Studio HBA a try! read more

I can not say enough good things about Studio HBA. First of all the salon is super cute, clean and relaxing. But the real gem is Antonette. She has been doing my hair for years and there's only one reason for it. Because she is THAT good. Always up to date on trends and always takes her time to make she she knows what you want and that you actually get it. She is also an amazing makeup artist. I definitely think I found a gem when I found Studio HBA! read more

Antonette has been cutting and coloring my hair for a few years now. I had not colored my hair in over 10 years when I started seeing her. I had been hesitant to color since I have very dark hair, mostly due to concerns of maintenance and damage. But, when I was finally ready to start coloring (read: cover the grey) I trusted her skills and knowledge completely. She used products that did were not damaging and we talked thru what type of results and look I wanted. She is an absolute professional. Her salon is an absolute reflection of her aesthetic. It is clean, beautifully decorated and welcoming. I look forward to my appointments and consider her more than just my hair stylist. She isn't satisfied unless you're satisfied and she knows you're happy with the results. She also does eyebrow waxing and make up. read more

This new studio is super cute, modern, and comfy with great prices, parking and easy to access from the highway. I have been going to Antonette for 4 years now I am alway happy, feeling super sassy and fresh when I leave her hands. She is talented, funny, down-to-earth and always knows how to perk up my hair when I need a change. Her new studio, HBA, is a nice change from where she was before and I love going there and relaxing while getting my hair done. The shampoo bowls are seriously the MOST comfortable ever and no more "sore neck" while trying to get a scalp massage. read more
