    Every time I see Fiona for my hair, i walk out of the salon feeling like the most gorgeous version of myself. I completely trust her because she kills it. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. You can tell she puts a lot of care and passion into her work. She's honest, caring, super knowledgeable, and makes me feel extremely pampered whenever i go in. I'm also obsessed with the hair Botox treatment she offers and how silky and healthy my hair looks after- it's a game changer! On top of being professional boss babe, she's so fun to talk to and has THE cutest little salon.

    I cannot say enough how amazing every single girl is that works here. I've had the pleasure of Kristin handling my hair and she's absolutely AMAZING. She always gets it right and I've NEVER complained about my hair. Today I said "let's tone it down, do what you want" and Kristin DID THE DAMN THING !!! I'm the type that will find a new hair person after one session because I'm just not happy with it, BUT NOT HERE!! If you need your hair done, go see any of the beauties here because they will get you RIGHT!!! Amazing job to Fiona and her girls on running the BEST hair salon in SD!!

    Fiona has been cutting my for years. She always gives the full VIP experience and services when I come. I am addicted to Moroccan oil. I always buy the hand soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. I love the cocktail fridge and Nespresso. Always easy to park!

    This is the BEST place in San Diego! I've been a client for 3-4 years now and it's always a great experience. Fiona is a dream and will transform your hair into exactly what you want, every single time. Took me from a dry and damaged brunette and restored me back to a healthy sultry sunkissed beauty. Pics don't lie- This girl knows her stuff!!

    I have been seeing Fiona for about two years now and I have found my forever stylist. Her salon is so cute and has the best coffee and the cutest pup-assistant named Poppy you can request for your appointment. Fiona really cares about your hair and is super honest about what she can do and what is best for your hair's health. I love talking with her when I am there and always feeds you lunch while you wait for your hair to process. I have done balayage with her several times from natural black hair to blonder and now doing rose gold color. She does an amazing job and I love how my hair turns out time. If you need a hair style, hair color, hair cut, Sunkissed is the place! They also have so many great hair and beauty products in stock that Fiona recommends specifically for you.

    Broken damaged hair!

    If I could give zero stars I would! This review is LONG over due. If you want to spend your hard earned money do not waste it here. I have had the worst hair stylist experience with this stylist of my life. I paid Fiona for over a year $600 plus dollars AND SHE ADDS ON A TIP for her to BREAK my hair off. When I came to this salon I wanted to bleach my hair and we did and it was great! I got so many compliments on my hair I loved it. In between bleaching we would let the root grow out and tone it. I suggested to stop letting my root grow out and to bleach it back to back but I wanted to stretch my appointments to 12 weeks apart and she said no! And came up with some BS reason And I bought it but that mistake cost me my hair. As we started bleaching it back to back She saw my hair was breaking off and instead of saying hey we can not do this anymore she waited until I said something. I texted her a long message saying how my hair is completely broken and how I was so upset because I use all of her specific hair salon bs products and it's still breaking off and what do I do. She gaslit me instead of apologizing ! Then she suggested a high lift and used a chemical something with a T I can not recall the name but she claimed it was not bleach. So I agreed she is the professional and I trusted her but whatever that was it completely broke my hair. My hair is now a mullet. She even had the audacity to say for the third time after I already said I will not do hair extensions!!! THEY ARE NOT IN MY BUDGET but she said we will "throw in some extensions" when the broken pieces are long enough. I have not been back since and canceled my future appointments. I have gone to other stylist in the area and around other areas they all said leave my hair alone and let it grow out and start over. That whoever did this to my hair did it on purpose. I even had someone suggest possibly going to court to get some of my money back and I think that's a great idea! I told FIONA I am beyond sensitive because I have ALOPECIA this is exactly how my hair looked when it was growing back after falling out and I wore wigs. My hair is AWFUL! I cry about it all the time I can only wear it up in a clip to hide how broken it really is. Not one time did I get an apology or a freaking text asking how was my hair doing? After all the money my husband and I spent which was THOUSANDS of dollars! I believe she is a mean girl but hides behind things like letting me bring my son to my appointments or suggesting places for me to check out when going out however, if you really cared about me like I thought you did as a LOYAL client who had been going to you for OVER A YEAR you would have stopped taking my money and told me to go back to what we were doing originally when you noticed my hair was first breaking. I know she noticed because when I brought it up the second time of us doing the bleach I asked is my hair breaking she said "oh yeah it's breaking girl I can tell". All of this was preventable. I went from getting hair compliments to hiding my hair and feeling ashamed all of the time! I should have known you weren't a good stylist when you tried to suggest to me MULTIPLE times to get on a ozempic type of drug for weight loss or when you BLEACHED multiple of my nice outfits. I hope this review helps someone because if you don't fit Fiona's esthetic she will treat you probably different than other clients like she did with me! She is a SNOB and that's me being nice! And I am a people person everyone loves me so for me to have this experience or have someone make those kind of remarks about my weight unprovoked at that is not in my normal day to day. I truly feel she did not like me and that this to her was funny. All my other stylist before I loved and never had any issues like this! If you have a husband or a significant other who pays don't go here either she will take advantage because her prices would change as well! Hopefully we cross paths one day! This has taught me never go to a snobby stylist who over charges and ALWAYS do what YOU want and don't let a stylist pressure you! Especially one who OVER CHARGES! There are plenty of great stylist who actually care about people and care about their work I already found a new one who will be fixing my hair when it's finished growing back out!

    Searched well over 6 months for a hair colorist that can help me transition from over 10 years of black hair to something different- while maintaining my hair's integrity. Found Fiona and booked her color correction service 2/3 months in advance. Come the day of, she was so willing and up for the challenge! I walked out feeling like a new woman- her prices are respectable and you definitely get what you pay for & more! The coffee she provides is lovely, her help from Kristin was pleasing and their personalities were wonderful. I finally found my forever stylist!

    Fiona, Kristin, and Maile are the absolute dream team! I've been seeing Fiona since she was renting a studio back in 2020, now she owns her own salon! It makes me so happy to see her/the business grow over the years. Sunkissed Beauty is the only salon I trust with my hair- sometimes when I come in, I'll just tell them to surprise me/do their thang... that's how much I trust them :) All the girls are so sweet and knowledgeable. The hours I spend here always go so fast, and I'm always looking forward to booking my next appointments. They all genuinely care and keep up with their clients, I know that I'm in good hands. Plus points for always ordering bomb food during our sessions! Another additional point for bringing the boys in my DMs after I post new hair selfies hahah. Even the boys love Fiona's work! Thank you ladies for being the best salon and best girl gang!

    Fiona has been doing my hair since 2020. I've moved with her from Del Sur to Mission Valley to now, Normal Heights. She has consistently matched my color expectations and educated me on products to maintain my color and hair health. She even color matched my hair extensions so I could have the wedding hair of my dreams. I look forward to my appointments at Sunkissed Beauty to catch up with her and Kristin. I highly recommend her to any and all girls looking for healthy, beautiful hair

    I absolutely LOVE Maile!!! I've been with her for two years and many different colors and she always makes me look so damn good. Seriously she won't let you leave the salon unless you're looking hot!! Not only will she make your hair amazing, she's also super helpful with tips and advice abour aftercare too (which is great for someone like me who knows absolutely nothing). I even moved out of San Diego recently and still booked an appointment with for when I come visit because I love her work so much. Added some of my favorite transformation photos so you can see the RANGE she has! Check her out @hairbymaile on Instagram for more ! You won't be disappointed.

    Kristin from Sunkissed Beauty always does it right - styling for events, cute and colors! I recently got my hair cut and she did the hair Botox treatment, and then styled me... WOW my hair is soooo soft now! I was in desperate need of new products so Kristin and Fiona talked me through everything they had and helped me pick out the perfect items without breaking my budget! If I could give this salon 10 stars I would!

    WHERE TO BEGIN.... Fiona is an amazing hair stylist/artist with so much experience. I came to her with a botched balayage and she fixed my hair and made me look like a brand new woman. I've been coming to Fiona ever since and I will never go to anyone else. I've even followed her from a different salon even though it's a lot further. She's that good lol

    I've had such a great experience at Theory Hair Studio! Uyen does an amazing job every single time…read moreand really takes the time to listen to what you want. I especially appreciated all the help and advice she gave me for my thinning hair and scalp concerns. Her recommendations made a noticeable difference in the health and fullness of my hair. It's clear she genuinely cares about her clients, and I always leave feeling refreshed and confident. Highly recommend!

    I've been going to Uyen since 2021, and it's truly the most beautiful my hair has ever looked…read more My natural hair is very fine, and when I first came to her it was just past my shoulders. Uyen added extensions and created a gorgeous bronde color. Over the years we've tried different looks, from very blonde to closer to my natural dark blonde, and I loved it every time! What impressed me the most is how healthy my hair stayed the entire time. After wearing extensions for over two years, I took them out for a while and my natural hair actually looked about 30% thicker than before (The thickest it has ever been). I just got a new set of extensions again and absolutely love them. I went from short hair to almost waist length, and this time we did wavy extensions to match my natural texture. It came out beautifully - the color matches perfectly and it looks very natural, even when I let my hair air dry without styling. Uyen is incredibly attentive and works very meticulously. She really listens and takes the time to make everything blend perfectly. I completely trust her with my hair and highly recommend her, especially if you have fine hair and are considering extensions.

    over a year later from my original review and this salon has raised the bar even more!…read more love the new spacious location about 2 blocks from the older spot. i highly recommend Candice, but you really cannot go wrong with any hair stylist from this roster, the owner has accomplished creating an exceptional space with great music! knowledgeable, professional staff with a fantastic, clean location. metered parking options around the area as well as validated parking for salon customers on the property itself.

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