Every time I come to Studio Savvy, Dylan has taken amazing care of me. I know I'm not the easiest client and can be picky about my skin fade, but he's always so accommodating and communicative throughout the cut - whether the length is to my liking, or if there are any adjustments I see that need to be made. Highly recommend, he's the most attentive and gentlest stylist I have had the pleasure of meeting. Dylan has made a forever client out of me!

My cut and color turned out exactly how I wanted it. Dylan listens and is so patient. If you want a great experience I highly recommend! Dylan is a true professional!

The transformation of purple hair beautifying by Anna

Lynda D.

I highly recommend Anna, (she's known as the blue hair girl) for all your hair beautifying needs. She's the best hair stylist; second to none in my opinion. She gave me the utmost attention and ensure every step of the hair process I was doing fine. She's skillful and extremely passionate about what she do. When I came to Anna I had reddish orange hair; I kid you not. She transformed my FUGLY reddish orange hair into "multi-dimensions of purple with bounce to bring it back to life!!" When the light hits, you can see all the spectrum colors of purple; just the way I pictured it to be!! MANY THANKS ANNA!! For transforming this ugly duckling into a beautiful FLAMINGO !!

I have seen Deena a few times for a cut, root touchup and blonde highlights. I had always been put off by the fact that Deena over schedules herself and never put in the time and attention that my hair needed. II always felt rushed here. The last appointment I had with Deena was the worst. I never felt as though she listened to what I wanted and was always distracted. She even had the receptionist finish up my root color so she could start another client. The last time I went in was in December for a keratin treatment and a cut. During the long process of blow drying the keratin into my hair, I found myself dodging the blow dryer as it was on very high heat and burning me. I ended up with a blow dryer burn on my forehead that blistered. After the keratin treatment I showed her a picture of the haircut I wanted. It was a chin length bob THAT DID NOT GO UP IN THE BACK. Of course she was rushed so she had the receptionist finish blow drying my hair. I was not offered a mirror and didn't know how bad the back of my hair was chopped up until I got home. My daughter was shocked. She said it was completely uneven. I was crushed when I saw the back of my hair. It was absolutely nothing like the picture I showed her. I also wear my hair straight which Deena should know by now and I have a bit of wave in the back of my hair which she should also have known. The cut she gave in the back emphasized the wave and was impossible to straighten because it was so short. I called the salon the next day with two major complaints: 1. Deena did not give me the haircut I showed her, she cut the hair in the back way too short and very uneven. 2. I had a painful burn blister on my forehead from Deena blow drying my hair. I came in a few days later to see how we could resolve this. Although it took a while, Deena admitted that the back was much shorter than the picture I showed her. She said she could try to "blend" the back so it wouldn't look so uneven. I decided not to take my chances. She saw the blister on my forehead and acknowledged that she did burn me with the blow dryer. Deena's way to resolve this was to give me a few more highlights in the front for free. That resolution didn't work for me. I was so angry that I spent $500 on a keratin treatment and a crappy haircut. The appropriate resolution would have been to refund my haircut.

Came here after work on a Wednesday night, walked in and immediately thought "what a cute salon" the vibe here is very cool, trendy and super friendly! Anna, was my stylist and she transformed me from a grown out balayaged blonde to a more classic rich chocolate brunette. Its always a good time when you can have fun and talk with your stylist so the session didn't seem long at all. She gave me a conditioning treatment that my hair desperately needed and a trim that I also desperately needed haha. The prices are reasonable for the excellent service you receive and you'll leave feeling like a whole new person :) When I left I couldn't stop touching my hair because it felt and looked so healthy! Thank you Anna, you're the best!

I absolutely love Studio Savvy! I relocated back to CA from Dallas a year ago and was searching for someone that could make me a Californian blond once again! I read reviews about this salon and everyone said to go to Deena the master stylist! They were right, Deena does awesome work, she is very passionate and articulate about her work and my blond has turned out absolutely perfect every time. She also does my cut and that is great as well - a package deal and not outrageous prices as I have seen from other San Diego salons. Great location and great service! I highly recommend!

I was in San Diego (from NYC) for a wedding at the end of October and found this salon on Yelp. The photo on the left is what I showed the stylist, the right is what she did for me. I was disappointed to see that it looked nothing like what I showed her and this was the end result. My fiance even asked me why I paid $70 for a ponytail that I could have done myself. Lastly, the website advertises makeup application as $65 and I was charged $85. Nothing extra was done, no lashes put on, but at that point I just needed to leave and get to the event.

Deena at Studio Savvy does it again! She transformed my hair from grey roots with a bit of dry frizz to FABULOUS!!! Adding a gloss treatment gave me back a healthy shine as well! Thank you Deena & Team!

Best salon! Lived in NY and Italy for 10 years and would never let anyone else touch my hair. Been coming here since I was 7. Highly recommend! The stylists here are of another level!

A Friend referred me to studio savy to get my hair done by Serina! I wanted to go to blonde for the summer but my hair was box dyed black so I knew it was going to be a hard transition! But I was explaining my situation to Serina and she was so understanding, kind & confident about the whole thing I believe I did 2 sessions and she got my hair to blend beautifully also followed by a haircut with some curtain bangs! I couldn't have done this hair journey without Serina! If you're thinking about getting your hair done Serina is your girl! She has done my hair numerous times and I love it every single time! read more

I can't say enough great things about Dylan! Not only is he one of the coolest, kindest (he treats my 79 year old mom like a princess) and most professional stylists I've ever met, but his skill and precision are truly unmatched!!! Every visit, he delivers absolute perfection with speed and expertise. What makes Dylan even more exceptional is that he was personally trained by the incredible owner, Dena - so you know you're in the best hands! The attention to detail, the seamless experience, and the consistently amazing results will ALWAYS keep me coming back. If you're looking for a stylist who is talented, efficient, and an all-around joy to be around, Dylan is your guy! Highly recommend - 5 stars all the way!!!!!!!! read more

I am laughing because I felt compelled to write a review after an amazing experience with Dylan yesterday and noticed that the last review posted was also from me in 2020! That is how long I have been loyal to this amazing salon! (There are many of us who have trusted Savvy for many many years) Recently I have been seeing Dylan who personally studied under Deena, and I have been thrilled with results. He is extremely detailed, proud of his work, amazing at problem solving and easy to be around. My daughter requested some highlights for her birthday (first salon experience) and has been on cloud 9 ever since. It is EXACTLY what she dreamed of and Dylan made her feel comfortable and cool :) I highly recommend this salon and if you ask for Dylan- you won't be disappointed :) read more

I went to Deena yesterday because I had read so many great reviews about her "blonde" abilities. I was sorely disappointed! I walked in with blonde hair that I had spent 6 months growing out (I had dark ends, but told her to ignore those that I was waiting for them to grow out and then I would cut them off). I gave her the exact formula for root touch-up: High-Lift Light Ash Blonde no number (high lift colors are always higher than a 10 - they don't come with numbers) and then for some dimension I asked her to put in some very minimal low-lights (6NA). She destroyed my blonde hair - put in 8NA all over my roots!!???? My hair is DARK! All that growing out an patience I had went out the window. Now I have to start all over again. I cried. I don't think Deena has any idea what she is doing with color - I talked to several other hair dressers I know and they seemed to know exactly what "high lift" color is. I couldn't be more unhappy. I called the studio and she offered to try to fix it with some PH something, but I'm scared to go back. So incredibly disappointed. I would NOT recommend Studio Savvy Salon or Dena to anyone. read more

I went from multiple bands, jaggety ends, calico brassy color and a horrible root headache with 3 inches of grey roots to a BRAND NEW soft blended, baby blond with babylight highlights, lowlights and dimensional contrast!

While the color of my hair came out the exact opposite of what I asked for; the color itself was nice. I asked for cool tone not Warm toned (I even had a photo) and pink/red? was put into it. Unfortunately I had to pay another 100 something at a different salon for them to fix my color (the best they could as red is incredibly hard to get out, and it took so long for all the red to finally wash out; many showers with red running down the drain) I won't come back, and wish I hadn't left such a big tip. I am sure if I had called and asked maybe they would have fixed it, but when I even had a photo at that point I know it isn't me explaining something incorrectly, so I just didn't even want to go back there again. I just wanted it fixed asap. read more

Kassidy is absolutely amazing at what she does! I am not the easiest client to have, I can NEVER make up my mind when it comes to my hair. From short blonde hair to long black hair, and everything in between, she always makes me walk out of the salon feeling more confident than I had before! Every experience with her is a wonderful one, I could not ask for a better hair stylist. She does phenomenal color and cuts, not to mention she does FABULOUS tape in hair extensions!! I had a pretty bad experience with one of the school salons and walked out rocking a bowl cut, luckily Kassidy was able to get me in and fix my hair! I could not be more thankful for her abilities and her professionalism! I DEFINITELY recommend booking an appointment with her! read more

While I get my hair done by the salon owner, Deena Von Yokes, I would trust each and every stylist with my hair.

Blondes are challenging and if you are particular (like most of us are) this is the place to come! She is an expert in the industry. If you are seeking extensions, up do's, change of color the studio does it all and the clients look amazing. Hands down, stop searching and head to Studio Savvy!

So I've gone here twice. I went once for a haircut and the second for a balayage touch up. So the haircut was great, but the balayage was a different story. I spent 5 hours in the chair and $250 to have my hair look exactly the same as when I walked in. I asked for an intense ashy look and my hair look the same golden blonde as it was. I understand that everyone's hair is different, but I have had this exact style done before and my hair was beautifully ashy when I went to a different salon. I was extremely disappointed and was a huge waste of money. read more

When I moved back to San Diego I immediately was on the lookout for the 'best' colorist for my fine, colored blonde hair that I invest a lot of time and money into. I initially began going to a salon that was recommended from a friend and ultimately found myself in a hair catastrophe. My sensitive hair was completely damaged, breaking off, green and dull in color and the overall experience was a nightmare. So I took matters in my own hands, did my research online and through Yelp reviews ended up finding Studio Savvy and Deena Von Yokes! Let me just start by saying Deena and Studio Savvy is a godsend! In one visit she began undoing all the damage and color-corrected my green/grayish tinted, dull, lifeless hair. She is literally a master at what she does and I highly recommend her and Studio Savvy! I have been coming to Studio Savvy and Deena approximately every 8 weeks for almost 2 years now and my hair is better than it has ever been. It is the perfect 'California Blonde', long, soft, shiny, and overall in the best shape and health it has ever been! I couldn't be happier because we all know that when your hair looks good you feel good. And beyond all that, Deena is passionate about her salon, what she does, her staff and it shows. I enjoy coming to the salon to visit with the staff - it is a comfortable, serene, refreshing environment that's just been remodeled as well. Also, besides being the best salon out there for professional, cutting edge color techniques, you can always be assured you get a great cut on trend too. And if you're looking for a fashionable style, whether it's cool braids, an updo, curls, beach waves, or extensions, you will be able to get what you want done at Studio Savvy! I am one happy client and feel it is important to share! read more

If you ever want to have a red carpet hair style/color, you need to see Deena! She does magic with my hair every time I come for my appointment with her. She is the Master colorist/stylist!!! My hair is very dark (almost black) and thick. Creating perfect soft highlights that would compliment my skin tone and the color of my eyes requires the application of in-depth chemistry knowledge. Deena always accomplishes it masterfully with perfection!! She knows how to make your hair to be your best accessory! Deena is also phenomenal when it comes to styling/shaping hair regardless whether it's a long or short hair. I get so many compliments on my hair color and style every time when I leave Studio Savvy! read more

Beautiful & thorough brow shaping experience!!! Thank you James Overstreet for giving my brows the major overhaul they were so desperately in need of! You did such an AMAZING JOB!!! Some background: For years and years I would drive from SD to Newport Beach to have my brows shaped by a super talented makeup artist. Unfortunately she moved to Colorado which makes the commute a tad more challenging :-) Recently I met James while he was freelancing at a well known makeup store. He is truly talented, funny & so personable! Loved him immediately! While paying for my makeup I asked him if he could recommend a great brow shaper and that's when he shared about working at Studio Savvy. He gave me his card and I called the following day and was able to score an appointment one day later! If ya want beautifully shaped brows at an incredibly reasonable price call and make an appointment ASAP!!! You'll be so happy!!! read more

Deena (spelled correctly?) is very passionate about her work, and you can tell! I have been here twice for color and she listens to what I want and asks me questions. My hair is naturally very dark and lifts totally brassy. Deena is helping me get rid of the brass underneath. When I wanted to give up on my blonde, she made it better, I understand it's a process and will take a while but it looks good now. Good place for blondes with naturally dark, stubborn hair, Oh and she doesn't use heat when bleaching which is great. I like this place. Good place, pretty fair prices, good work ethic, read more

I've been getting my hair done by Brooke for years now and I can't say more about how talented she is. Not only did she meticulously me take from my natural VIRGIN red hair to a soft, gorgeous blonde she helped me maintain the color by always offering ideas for toning, brightening and nurturing my hair. She has a true eye for it! And now that I am back to my natural color and living in the Bay Area, I still fly down to San Diego just to get her expertise and vision! Highly recommend :) read more

Absolutely LOVE my hair! I first went to get a keratin treatment and everyone was so welcoming and kind. The gal who did my hair was so sweet and did an incredible job! My hair was silky smooth and no longer tangles when I sleep. She said the owner had basically taught all the gals there how to have her hands so you know you will get the best service and hair results. And it's so true! Service was excellent and loved my hair! I went back to get my hair highlighted and the owner Deena did my hair. She is so sweet and definitely a pro. She shared so many insights on hair and I learned so much and tips to keep my hair healthy. It's hard to get blonde that's not yellow but she nailed it and I'm in love with my hair. It's the perfect blonde. Would definitely go back and recommend 200%! read more

Meet the Business Owner: Deena V.

I always knew HAIR fashion was where I'd firmly plant my roots and hope something amazing would grow. This is not much of a surprise as I grew up spending many hours in my mother's busy hair salon and actively participated in San Diego's hair shows before entering the business myself 35 years ago. I quickly realized to work as a hair stylist and hair COLOR expert, I'd have to be the best as competition is tough and expectations high. I traveled internationay and sought out advanced training with Vidal Sassoon Academy, Toni & Guy, and Mad Hatters in London England. I teach advanced color techniques for Framesi from Italy. Amerced myself into many business and marketing classes locally and internationally. Full of vigor and education I'm grateful to have done HAIR designs for many famous fashions shows, theatrical events and magazine shoots. I also am honored to be appointed as the CREATIVE director, judge, and media spokes person, for the world famous Del Mar Opening Day Hat Contes

I even told her about some amazing food places around San Diego she had to try for future events. I had a 1940s themed wedding I was a part of so I wanted to create that subtle monochromatic eye look with a subtle lip rather than a bold red/orange to keep with my champagne dress and added lashes to help my blue eyes pop. It made everything look so natural that I still looked like me, just more polished. The picture I have here is literally almost 10 hours later, even through dancing, dinner, a windy ceremony, and lots and lots of professional photos taken throughout the day. I would love to have her as a top consideration for when my day comes. Thank you for everything, Chelsea!

My once beautifully arched brows had disintegrated into pencil thin semi-circles and I realized…read morethat I must seek the expertise of a trained professional. I did a lot of research trying to find someone that would be able to not only, restore my arches, but that had a sound understanding of makeup artistry. I am a very picky person and wanted someone who was experienced in permanent makeup but also in brow design. I searched no further upon finding Annie's profile on Yelp. Her photo gallery pictured the exact natural looking arch that I was looking for and her extensive training/background made me feel comfortable...I emailed her immediately. She promptly followed up initial email with initial thoughts on how she could help me and I booked an appointment. Consultation Annie is a true professional and expert in her field. She asked me what my goals were and then together we mapped out a plan to restore not just any old arches, but arches that would fit and enhance my face! She was patient with all of my questions and explained everything in great detail. The best part was the passion she showed for her craft. She also gave me important do's and don'ts for maintenance throughout the process. Process Annie explained every step of the process and I didn't feel any pain during the procedure. We chatted throughout the procedure and she is truly a lovely person. At the end, Annie asked me if I had any questions and provided me with clear and detailed after care instructions. My brows were a little vibrant after the procedure as Annie had explained they would be. However, by the third day they started to settle down. I even received a few compliments from co-workers remarking on how nice my brows looked. I'm now on week 2 and my brows are no longer sparse, thin, semi-circles, but beautiful arches that frame my face. I couldn't be happier with my new look and I'm only at the half-way point right now. So if you have grown weary of over-plucking, skin-burning, brow waxing incidents, I strongly encourage you to go to Annie.

Not everyone needs this kind of support through the brow but for those who do they have been astonished, even they cannot tell the difference from the real brow hair compaired to the new strokes placed with incredible accuracy. The Supermodel Hairstroke technique using individual strokes have been developed by Annie so that she can stay true to her 'less is more' approach to brows..

She had this incredible way of making you look like the best version of yourself whereby you still look authentic but elevated, and I LOVE that her instagram is full of completely unedited, real shots of real brides. She went above and beyond in terms of communication and even adjusted her busy schedule to travel to my airbnb for my wedding preview the week before my wedding to accommodate me as an out-of-state bride. It's also worth noting that I generally have pretty healthy skin - I rarely breakout and I normally have even texture. I had two small pimples pop up several days before my wedding, and the product my dermatologist told me to use made me break out and gave me a horrible, dry, uneven patch right on my upper lip that looked like the stuff of nightmares (no joke, this rash literally covered my upper lip area area) . KC covered it completely while keeping my skin looking healthy, dewy, and natural. She is truly a miracle worker. My makeup stayed put all-night long, and looked pristine even after hours of dancing (and drinking haha). In addition to her insane artistry, KC was charming, easy to talk to, and outrageously kind. Moreover, she recognized when I was feeling nervous and gave me time to sit quietly in those moments - this is something I will forever be eternally grateful for when looking back at the whirlwind that was my wedding day. Trust me when I say you need to book KC - you won't regret it.

I can't remember exactly how I stumbled on KC's Instagram page, but I remember thinking to myself "Wow everyone looks like they have perfect skin." When KC came to my parent's house for my trial, she was so incredibly soothing and professional. I loved that she told me to tell her honestly if I didn't like anything, because it wouldn't hurt her feelings. Not very many artists will say that, and I'm truly so thankful to her for being transparent every step of the way. On the day of my wedding, she did the makeup on myself, my mom, my mother in law, and my best friend. Both my best friend and I have oily skin and acne, and my moms have more mature skin. Everyone absolutely raved about how they looked and felt, and I was incredibly pleased with how she made sure everyone was comfortable with the amount of makeup they were wearing. My makeup also lasted through me absolutely ugly crying (lol) and dancing the night away! I could barely tell that anything, if at all, had moved or smudged. At the end of the day, when I look back at my wedding photos, I'm so glad to still see me. KC is truly a master at highlighting the best parts of people's faces with makeup, while also camouflaging any insecurities. I never felt like I didn't look like me, and even my husband who isn't really a fan of makeup loved the way I looked as well! I'll definitely be recommending her to anyone I know that gets married in the future :) thanks for everything KC!

Secret Salon

In summary, I'm writing this review to let prospective brides know that there is a possibility the…read morestylist doing your trial won't be the same one doing your wedding day with Secret Salon, and in my experience, there was a complete lack of communication in this handoff. The stylists who did my wedding hadn't seen my trial photos at all until I showed them the day of my wedding, resulting in a look that didn't match my trial, my hair especially. Unfortunately, one of my core memories of my wedding day is the stress surrounding this experience and not feeling 100% confident in how my hair and makeup turned out. With all of the positive reviews of the Secret Salon, I didn't expect this outcome at all. I've added photos of the trial and wedding day for comparison. I was overall satisfied with the trial, booked in June 2025 with the stylist, Jennifer. She achieved the look I wanted and we talked through tweaks to make sure the style would last through the wedding day. She took pictures of my makeup and hair so she'd have record of it, and let me know that she would be the one doing my styling on my wedding day. On my wedding day in December 2025, the makeup artist, Samantha, arrived on time, but the hair stylist (can't remember her name) arrived late, and this contributed to the overall hair timeline of the day running late. I hadn't received any notice ahead of time that Jennifer was unavailable. When it came time for my makeup, I asked what had happened with Jennifer and that I hadn't heard there'd be a change, and the makeup artist didn't have further information other than a scheduling conflict. I then asked if she had seen my trial photos to know what I'm going for, and she hadn't and asked if I had those available. Thankfully I did and pulled those up and explained what Jennifer did at my trial and some elements we had troubleshooted. The makeup: Generally, I appreciate Samantha's commitment to getting my makeup "right" for my wedding day, as we spent extra time at the end doing tweaks. I'll add she did a great job hiding some acne scarring as well. This review isn't about her individual performance as I certainly don't blame her for the overall lack of organization. She saw my trial photos for a total of 10 seconds before she started working on me. But objectively, my concealer wasn't color corrected underneath like the trial with Jennifer and therefore looked gray in person. Additionally, the face makeup at my trial was soft and subtle, and she had a heavier hand with bronzer than I expected. Photos blurred both of these out, but it still didn't change how I felt the day of. The hair: At my trial, Jennifer worked with me to achieve the Hollywood waves I was looking for on my naturally straight hair. These fell out a bit through the day, but 12 hours later, I still had some waves. I'll start by saying that my bridesmaids and myself who wore our hair down were disappointed with the hair stylist. She simply wasn't as experienced as Jennifer, and it showed in how she handled my hairstyle. Again, when I sat down with her, I asked if she had seen my trial photos and she said no so I showed them to her. I explained the nature of my hair and how it requires high heat, hairspray, etc. to achieve a curl. At multiple points through her styling my hair, she asked me how Jennifer was able to get my hair to curl as my hair wasn't holding them. She was using hairspray and the same tools that Jennifer used. This question baffled me, as I would have expected them to have communicated ahead of time, and I wasn't told in detail what Jennifer had used. The stylist tried setting my hair in curlers for a while to see if this would help, while she finished the rest of my bridesmaids' hair and finished me last. She pulled our hair so hard to curl it that our heads were yanked backwards in the chair. When she took the curlers out and tried to curl my hair again, she said it wasn't holding the curl. But after every time she curled my hair, she was fully running her brush through the curls which knocked them out. I left with the ends of my hair curled, nowhere near Hollywood waves. When I got to the venue 15 minutes away, some of these curls were already coming undone. I asked my bridesmaid to bring a curling iron to the bridal suite, and they re-curled my hair. All the curls that they did, stayed. My hair did not look as polished and professional as my trial, and as I look back on my wedding day photos, I dislike any from the back because of this. I purposely pushed all my hair behind my shoulders in formal photos so the mismatched curled ends weren't visible. I write this review because the mismanagement was entirely preventable. It wouldn't have taken much effort to email me letting me know of the scheduling change. I'd have happily taken it upon myself to share my trial photos and notes with the new stylists. Since there are very few negative reviews of Secret Salon, I felt obligated to share my experience here.

This review is solely regarding the salon's communication and booking process. I cannot speak to…read moreits hair and make up service. I communicated with salon and its owner in August of 2025 to book hair and makeup services for my wedding in April 2026 for myself and a small bridal party (4 bridesmaids, MIL, mother). They confirmed that my date was available and provided the contract and deposit link. I paid the deposit and executed the contract. I emailed with Alice about requesting a morning start time, and then touch up services in the afternoon. Alice confirmed that we could do that, but there would be a fee for the touch up service. This was fine. And we agreed to touch base on the exact schedule closer to the date. On September 16, I received an email from Alice in which she claims that none of her team members are available on my April 2026 date (7 months from now), due to apparent "childcare obligations" in the morning. To her credit, I did receive a refund of my deposit. However, it rubbed me the wrong way that they dodged accountability with a very obvious cop out with an impersonal email obviously crafted by ChatGpt. In fact, several emails from them were heavily AI reliant. I understand that AI can be a great tool, but when it came to this, there needed to be some actual accountability. Wedding planning is stressful enough. Not only did the salon pull out of this contractual obligation with a flimsy excuse, they didn't even have the courtesy to point me in the direction of another salon/HMUA to reach out to. In sum, I found them to unprofessional and unreliable.

The quality of the work was poor, but by that point I was so frustrated that I just wanted the appointment to be over. What really stood out was how differently she treated the next customer. She was suddenly warm, friendly, smiling, and offering additional services after that customer agreed to upgrade. It made me feel like I was only worth good service if I spent more money. Overall, the atmosphere was unprofessional, the customer service was unfriendly, and the manicure was disappointing. I would not recommend this salon and definitely will not be returning.

I can not recommend Bonnie Owen for a hair stylist enough! If there were ten stars she'd get them! She is simply the best hairdresser I have encountered in 33 years! Literally my entire life I have been searching for a good hair cut, and I have been to some of the most finest hair salons. I have thin, fine hair, which is very difficult to give body. Bonnie makes me look like I have twice the amount of hair which no one has ever managed to do, not even slightly, and I'm not exaggerating! She is so skilled and knowledgeable in hair and how to achieve any look you are going for (I've overheard her taking to her other clients). I have been going to Bonnie now for over 5 years! I first met her in the Umberto salon on Robertson in Los Angeles, were she was in a blink of an eyelid catapulted to the very fine Umberto Beverly Hills salon. Bit of a drive from where I live, but not following her was simply not an option! She literally is Edward Scissor hands with those scissors. She whips around your head so confidently and so precisely it honestly blows my mind to this day. And on top of it all, as if it couldn't get any better, she is one of the most sweetest, loveliest people I have ever met! Sadly for me, and all her Los Angeles/Beverly Hills clients she has decided to move back to her home town, San Diego, to be close to her family. I was crushed when she announced she was moving back. However the blow was softened by her saying she would still be coming to Umberto Beverly Hills one weekend a month. In summary, she is an amazing hair stylist, in my option and many of her clients.... THE BEST! She has a large client base in LA/Beverly Hills, who all wait for that one weekend a month she comes up from San Diego, and everyone scrambles to get an appointment with her. I will never have anyone else cut my hair now, I wait for her to come up, or if I ever find myself in San San Diego, I will go and visit her at her new salon.... And if I am not able to get in to see her one month, then I will simply wait until the following month. GREAT NEWS for San Diego people.... and Studio Savvy in Rancho Santa Fe.... Bonnie now works there! I highly recommend you go and see Bonnie.... She works wonders with my hair, I can not even imagine what she can do with everyone else..... She has a large client base in Los Angeles/Beverly Hills for a reason...... who all remain loyal to Bonnie. That in itself speaks volumes and tells you a lot. VISIT BONNIE at Studio Savvy..... She is FANTASTIC!!! She literally changed my life! For the first time in my life I love my hair!!! read more

This is my favorite place ever!! The studio itself is beautiful and the people there are warm, fun, friendly, and extremely kind. It feels like a family there and their main priority is to give you the best experience they can. Deena is a hair wizard she has such a gift and fantastic creative vision to ensure you always look your best. And their new addition to the family, the fabulous James, is a miracle worker!! Not only is he an extremely talented makeup artist and a best friend to your eyebrows, but he also works wonders on your skin. I've suffered from mildly severe acne since 7th grade (I'm a freshman in college now) and I've pretty much tried everything without success. I came to James for help and it's the best thing I've ever done for my skin. After just a couple facials and purchasing his "Seacret" mud soap cleansing bar which I've been using night and day for almost two weeks, my acne is pretty much completely gone. Yes, after just two weeks my acne is GONE. I couldn't believe how well and how quickly the facials and this mud soap worked! I'm so so grateful it feels amazing to finally have the good skin that I've longed for for so long. So if you're having problems with your skin whether it's acne, wrinkles, dark spots, anything....please go see him he will help you!! read more

Kassidy Byers is the most talented colorist at Salon Savvy in Rancho Santa Fe Ca. Before I found Kassidy, I was kidding myself that I would be able to replace my previous color professional who relocated to the east coast. I actually sincerely envisioned myself booking a flight to the east coast to get my hair colored....but of course, that would not be possible financially. I was reading an article in Ranch and Coast about Salon Savvy and the most exceptional color expert named Kassidy Byers. I was intrigued and desperate for someone to correct my color, and redefine a pattern and formula for me. I called and went in for a consultation ONLY..... and 2 hours later walked out with the MOST beautiful color re-distribution, highlights, low lights, new formula, pattern, and slight trim. I didn't even have an appointment, and Kassidy squeezed me in without blinking!!!!! AND......The best thing of all!!!!!!!!!!! She listened to me!!!!!!!!!!! Have Kassidy show you a halo!!!! Don't panic....call Kassidy read more

Serious talent at Studio Savvy Salon! They're GREAT at what they do and have such a loyal following because of it. They are the perfect resource to ask about products or services that you have been curious about trying. Most of the Studio Savvy stylists are industry educators as well. They won't try to sell you anything you don't need and are forthcoming in their advice. I don't know what I'd do without these lovely stylists. Salon owner, Deena Von Yokes is outstanding - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She's creative, collaborative, and incredibly fun to be around. Deena does a magnificent job with greying hair. Deena is meticulous when it comes to my cut, my highlights, and my color. Recently I tried Keratin treatments, and I love the results! Anyone looking for a great haircut and superior service need not look any further! read more

Deena Von Yokes (owner) is a hair magician!!! 5 stars all the way. If there's anyone I trust to deal with my hair from now on, it's her. She did a full balayage and gloss on my hair and it couldn't have turned out better! Having long dark blonde hair, I was a little nervous about who to trust to take it lighter for me. But when I met Deena, I knew It was her! And I was right.. The whole experience, from start to finish was exemplary. Mel, one of the girls who assisted was so sweet and very skilled and smart as well. Deena definitely knew what she was doing, she answered all of the questions I had about my hair or the coloring and took the time to explain anything I wanted to know to me. Both she and Mel went above and beyond for me during my visit, and I will definitely be going back to see them soon read more

I am a 25 year client of Studio Savvy and I would never trust my blonde hair to anyone else!! I love the studio space and all of the amazing stylists. I first came to Studio Savvy when I was a new mom and needed to brighten my look a little!! I got a few highlights and an updated cut, then a few years later I moved on to some lowlights, and now enjoy extensions as well. It's important to me to feel current and in style, and I trust Deena and all the girls to ensure my hair looks fresh and updated!! My two daughters also see stylists at Studio Savvy; it's a salon that services all age groups and styles. In fact, my daughter is getting married this summer, and Kassidy will lead a team of stylists to ensure she and her bridesmaids have a great look on her special day. Can't say enough about Studio Savvy!! read more

I have been going to see Deena at Studio Savvy for many years. She is one of the most talented, creative, generous, kind and hard working woman I have ever known. She puts her heart and soul into everything she does. She takes such pride in her work and the work of all of her staff. She trains her apprentices by generously sharing all of her knowledge and expertise with them so that when they go out on the floor with their own clients they are fully prepared to carry out the level of excellence that she expects from herself. She also continues to educate herself so that she and her staff are always on the cutting edge of current trends and techniques. I can't say enough good things about Deena, her staff and her salon:) read more

I've been going to Brooke Hasselmann for about the last 4 years. She's done my hair for all my homecomings, proms and special events and I've always gotten a bunch of compliments every time, along with hair coloring every few months. She has always given me exactly what I ask for and spends a tremendous amount of time and effort every time. I've gone from dark to blonde to blonde highlights, no matter what I want she does it exactly how I want it and uses amazing products, treatments and glosses on my hair. Can honestly say I could never go to another salon because I don't trust anyone to touch my hair. Also everyone there is so fun and kind and makes the hours it takes to color my hair go by super fast. read more

I absolutely LOVE this salon!!! I have been a client of Deena's for over 10 years and my hair has never looked better! Studio Savvy has always been a fun and cutting edge salon- and it continues to offer all of the newest trends in color and styling. The team at Studio Savvy is awesome!! They are attentive and always willing to try something new. The salon has been affectionately referred to as the "blonde salon" because Deena, who is a master color specialist can make anyone blonde! I'm loving my extensions right now and the new "Icy" blonde they are doing on me right now! Who knows I may decide to cut my hair and go brunette next month- I know that they can do it! I HIGHLY recommend this salon! read more

BEST EVER!!! I have been to many different salons and hair stylists trying to get my hair right.. FINALLY I found Mariah!!!! Before coming here, I had a terrible experience with hair color and hair extensions UNTIL I came to Studio Savvy Salon and found Mariah!!! She is AWESOME with hair color and is the only stylist who has ever been able to put in hair extensions that stay in WITHOUT any damage to my hair!!!!! I can honestly say I am so happy with my hair since coming here.. Mariah is so sweet and amazing, and takes time and is very conscientious about making her clients happy!! The other stylists are all great and if you want your hair to look great, stay healthy.. come here and see Mariah!!! read more

New to the Ranch I had no idea where to go - I am a fussy hair person! Every day I am thankful that I discovered Deena and her team at Studio Savvy! They are the "A" team! Deena and her assistant Kassidy are professional, hardworking and I have never come out of the salon looking anything but amazing. They will go the extra mile. Deena is the best colorist I have ever used and I have lived all over the world in Asia and Europe and I have been to many of the best salons. She is also phenomenal at cutting. Kassidy is totally dedicated and makes the whole salon experience delightful. So highly recommended that I almost don't want anyone else to know my little secret!!! A +++++++++ read more

Last week I got a blow out by Anna. Asked for volume and i swear she blew my hair out so much it looked like i got it flat ironed. It was stuck to my head and SO flat. I went home and teased it as much as i could but it didn't help and it was too late to shower and do it all over again before my party. On a separate occasion I asked to get my roots died with no blow dry (bc i was pressed on time) and still paid $85 plus tip which i think is ridiculous for walking out with wet hair. If i was doing extensive work i could comprehend that price but literally just slapping on a color to my root and washing it off is not worth that price. Ugh ... so disappointed. read more

If you want a place to go to the just isn't satisfied with "we have always done it this way" but goes to London, Paris and NYC to keep current with new trends, colors,etc. then this is the perfect salon. You will be treated as an individual and not the same as everyone else. Everyone is highly trained and they listen to your needs. A great place to relax, get beautiful to take on your special occasion or just hanging out. Just check out FINE MAGAZINE to get a taste of what you will experience. Love Deena and the women there. read more

I've been getting my hair cut and colored with Kassidy for the past two years. She also does my extensions. When I first met Kassidy she had her work cut out. I needed a full color correction and my hair was completely fried. She has literally worked miracles. She has vast knowledge and expertise, always flexible with my schedule and a sweet person to spend time with in the salon. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Studio Savvy is truly the best place to go in San Deigo if you are blonde or want to be blonde. read more

I have been going to this salon for the past 3 years. I have been on a transition from dark brown dyed hair to cool blonde. I see Victoria every few weeks to touch up my roots, and for a trim or blowout. Victoria always does a great job, and my hair as a result is in excellent condition. She also gives a great blow out, and turns my naturally curly and frizzy hair into smooth beach waves. If you are looking for a cut, color or style, go see Victoria. She does great braids too!! read more

No one in San Diego does it better than Deena at Studio Savvy when it comes to color.I know because I have been a client for years. She is especially adept with highlights/low lights, giving blondes a more natural look. Deena is also great at blow-outs, managing to give my fine textured hair some volume that lasts. She is a wonderful teacher, too. The staff is friendly and professional. Melissa gives the most incredible head massages during a shampoo! Love this place! Andrea N. read more

Kassidy is my go to when it comes to getting my hair done. The salon is a bit of a drive from where I live but she is totally worth it! She always knows exactly what I want and makes sure to keep my hair healthy in the process. I am unable to get my hair done constantly so she styles it in a way that my hair can grow out and still look awesome. I have gotten highlights, lowlights, extensions, haircuts and just about everything else from her and I'm satisfied every time. read more

Fabulous crew, truly talented color and cut capabilities! I am a tough customer because I've spent a lot of time at great east coast & SF salons, so I'm really happy to have found Kassidy. She got my hard-to-color hair right the first time, and every time since. My thick hair is also a big challenge to cut and blow dry well, but she is a pro with it! I am always happy with her work, and Studio Savvy is always a fun and friendly atmosphere. Great products, too! read more

I started seeing Kassidy Byers at Studio Savvy in Rancho Santa Fe about a year ago and fell in love instantly. She gives perfect natural highlights on both light and dark hair as well as flattering cuts for all face shapes and sizes. The location is beautiful and the atmosphere at Studio Savvy is warm and welcoming. I can't wait to try more services like their eyelash extensions and life changing facials. This is your Beverly Hills salon with out the zip code. read more

I highly recommend anyone looking for a great stylist to check out Victoria at Studio Savvy. She loves her work and it shows! I've been a client for several years and it's been a pleasure. She's an expert with salon staples such as cutting, coloring and highlighting. She's creative, too, and does braiding and styling for weddings and special events. It doesn't hurt that she's beautiful herself and makes a visit to Studio Savvy fun as well as fulfilling! read more
