Read so many good reviews about Lauren, I had to try this place out and request her. I am horribly lazy about hair cuts and only get around to it once a year. By then I am usually so fed up with my hair I just want to chop it all off. I explained what I wanted to Lauren and she did a beautiful job. The cut she did makes it so it looks great, not only when I straighten it, but better than it has ever looked if I let it go curly. Lauren is really enthusiastic and upbeat. I liked the location of this place and how hospitable they are about offering refreshments, etc. Lauren is apparently opening up her own studio elsewhere so I don't know if I will be back since I try to stick to what I know works...but I would definitely recommend the facilities and Lauren personally. read more

Realized at the last minute that my eyebrows were taking on a personality of their own, so I called and made a last minute appointment. Points for getting me in so quickly, and I was lucky enough to get Chanel as my esthetician (as I'd read on Yelp that she was great!) The appointment was alright. Chanel, herself, is fun, pleasant, and a self-proclaimed perfectionist. She didn't do any kind of a consult or ask what I wanted, and as a first time customer, I was a little disappointed. I tend to like my brows a little thicker, and she just assumed what I wanted them to look like. The end result was good, but I wouldn't have minded 30 seconds of talking beforehand. The place is clean, the but the waxing rooms have no mood lighting/music playing. Call me spoiled, but even if I'm painfully getting strips of waxed ripped from my skin, I still like to be in a calm, relaxing environment like what many other salons offer. read more

I have been going to Lauren for over a year now along with my husband and young boys. I get compliments all the time on my color and cut. Lauren is super skilled and very passionate about hair. She's a joy to have standing behind me while I'm in her chair. We laugh constantly and I leave looking terrific. Lauren is also the only person who's ever done a steller job cutting my husband's curly locks. The first time she cut his hair I joked that I felt like I was having a secret affair with a handsome stranger. He looked HOT! I have also done waxing and facials there and their services are top notch! Cute salon too, everyone is super friendly and outgoing. read more

My mom and I have been going here for years, and I absolutely love this place! My mom has been going to Tina, the owner, for over 10 years, and she is great. I used to get my haircut form her too, and she will do anything you ask, and if you feel like something isn't right then she will fix it for you. Now go to Sandra, who has been there for years, and started as the receptionist when she was in school. She is so awesome, both as a person and a hairdresser. She is really cute and funky, and has a different hairstyle every time I see her. And she cuts really great hair! I started going to her because I needed to get my haircut and Friday was the only day I could do it, and Tina doesn't work on Fridays. Best decision ever. Sandra gave me a great updated haircut and has helped me transition to bangs. She does a great job maintaining my layers, and she is very sweet and easy to work with. Like I said, it has been years since we have been going here, and I remember when they were building the day spa (which is very nice- I have been there too!) which is in the same building. They do womens and mens cuts, Cathy is great for nails, and they have great pedicures. This really is as good as it gets. I live in Los Angeles and I still don't get my haircut anywhere else! read more

Amazing! Went in today with a friend and got a massage and hair cut. I am so satisfied. The customer service was excellent and they made me feel wonderful not only was the massage amazing but I really felt cared for by Sarah. For my first massage it was so worth the trip there and will definitely go again. My hair was done by Tasmyn and i haven't cut it in over a year and she did it and I love it so much and will definitely come back sooner for another cut! read more

This review is for Cathy. *Cathy is VERY attentive to detail and doesn't let small annoying things get over looked only for you to discover them after you leave. *Extremely affordable. Quality price for a quality job! Now that you've got the highlights, here's the real scoop: I have been seeing Cathy for more than half my life and she has taken care of all my nail needs! She does a top quality job and is very personable and most of all meticulous and clean. Ladies, (and gentleman), treat yourself to Cathy. She has been in the business a long time and keeps up on the latest trends. Gels/acrylic, shellac. She's your girl. You deserve it. read more

I decided to give Sunshine a try since a few different co-workers of mine have been coming here for years and always come to work with awesome hair. They love it & they can't stop talking about it. I decided to see what all the fuss was about for myself. I went to Amy to get my hair styled about a week after the hack job I received from Ignis Salon. She was super friendly & knew exactly what she was doing. She talked to me a lot about styling and products. She gave excellent advice without pressuring me to buy stuff from their salon. I'll be going back soon to get a haircut from her. Hopefully she can mend what Ignis did to me. The salon itself was really cute and clean. The location was a little bit awkward and I wasn't crazy about the parking situation. But, I'll deal. Can't wait to go back. read more

Sunshine is as good as it gets! Melanie M does my brows so perfect. to the T. just how I like it! Luci has been doing my hair for years now and i wouldn't have it any other way. Luci and Melanie are very professional and know just what the client wants. I love Luci's color technique. my hair is long and thick and i always leave sunshine feeling refreshed. my hair stays shiny and vibrant for months! Melanie keeps my brows perfectly tamed and natural and thick looking, just how i like it. make sure you call ahead to make an appt. these girls book up quick! read more

Jennnae did my hair color and it was super professional. She corrected my hair color and did highlights in the front. I do not know if I can say "pricey" because all depends of the money you are willing to spend. But rest assure that if you can afford at least once in a while a pro like this lady, pay the money so you can compare what you get for less. For hair cut my favorite is Lisa. When I have been there I have seen many clients with long beautiful hair and ladies with short hair in modern styles. Lisa prefers cash and I paid credit with Jennae. read more

My family goes here. I am happy with Hana's style and ability to protect the length my very long hair that has taken me 22+ years to grow out. She can cut the disconnected layers I like and isn't afraid to "color outside the lines" so to speak with regard to her cutting style - if that's what you want her to do. I've seen her with many other clients and she is also skilled at more traditional cuts and styles. She seems well rounded and a good choice no matter what cut you prefer. Before I started going to Hana, I saw Rachel here. She's no longer with Sunshine though and although I have seen her at her new location, I'm at Sunshine a lot more because of waxing and other family members, so it keeps it simple and all in one spot. My daughter sees Tina, the owner, who did a fantastic cut recently for her. My husband is happy with Nicole's style. My daughter and I both see Chanel for our waxing needs. She's friendly, quick, gentle, uses quality wax, and is well skilled at her trade. She's got her own private room that has a serene and zen feeling to it. A good aesthetician is hard to find, and she's fantastic! We have not had any chemical services here, but I know from discussion that they have a few color specialists and someone who does perms. I have not had a mani or pedi here, but I hope to do that at some point. This shop is clean and sanitary, and being a licensed cosmetologist myself, it's something I value highly. Pricing is set by your stylist so can vary slightly. The decor is beautiful and comfortable. The receptionist, Alicia, is super sweet, helpful, and friendly. She also has an uncanny ability to remember your name, even if she's only met you once. She's a keeper for sure. read more

Rachel is amazing! Although I had three others cover for her while away, and they were very good too. I've been a client there for ten years, It took along time for me to find a color technician who really knew and enjoyed what she did for a living. Make an apt now, cause they fill up in advance, unless you are lucky and get a cancellation spot. Please do your hair a favor and try them, or Rachel! read more

Hana is the best! I hired her to do my wedding day hair and she did not disappoint. She did my hair, my the bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother in law's hair. We all looked amazing. Plus she is just the sweetest person ever! I highly recommend going to see Hana for your updo needs. read more

Honestly, Chanel Sortomme is the best esthetician around! I have been getting facials from her and she has improved my skin SO much. Before finding Chanel, I used expensive topical medication for my breakouts. Chanel educated me about my skin type, and helped line me up with the perfect products for me. Turns out I never needed the medication, I just need regular facials and to be diligent about using my products. I feel so lucky to have found Chanel! So, next time you want to treat yourself to a great, relaxing facial, or if you want to improve your skin, go see Chanel! read more

Luci is a young up todate on the newest cuts & techniques. The Sunshine Salon owers, their are two, one for the hair salon & the other for the fabulous spa, these two ladies make sure the hair dressers have current education. Luci is an amazing hair dresser. The Salon & Spa has been in their same location for nearly 15 years, & they continue to keep a very successful business, due to word of mouth. Also I must say I appreciate the scalp massage that Luci gives with every cut, mens or womens servic. Lastly the blues- silvers - the decor is upscale but cozy all at the same time, thank you also for the beverages you offer on every visit. Thank you Luci for a wonderful working relationship, in cutting mine A-Line's & my 16 teen year olds curent cool cuts! Poway Res. Ann Barlow & Christian Apodaca read more

A place where moms and teenagers both love. Ok moms, I have 3 teenage daughters and we all go here for a variety of services and none of us have ever been disappointed! It is nothing short of a miracle, right? Moms and teen daughters in complete agreement? Hell can freeze over. lol Do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

roxi is amazing, she's very professional and knows her way around hair. I've been going to her for years and she's made my hair healthy and beautiful as well as giving me tips and tricks to keep it that way. she also does a great job on my husbands fade, taking her time to get it perfect for him. the salon itself is a very friendly environment with great people working there to answer any questions you have. I highly recommend this place and ask for roxi for both mem and women's hair. read more

I have been going to Chanel for over 2 years!!! Chanel is fabulous!!! She is by far the best esthetician I have ever been to. I just started going to Lauren and could not be happier! I have super thick curly hair and she is an expert! Everyone at the salon is so nice!! read more

I love the Sunshine salon but I love my stylist Luci even more!! Luci is so friendly and knowledgeable. She has been conditioning, cutting, and styling my hair for awhile now. I always leave with beautiful hair and a smile! She is wonderful and I highly recommend her!! Not only have I gotten my hair done at Sunshine, but I have also had the chance to have massages, facials, and other services. Everyone at Sunshine salon goes out of their way to make your experience wonderful. They donate a lot of their time, products, and services for many charities and organizations (such as the American Cancer Society). Great place! read more

I really look forward, to my bi-weekly visit for my mani-pedi and once a month or so for my hair cut. Everyone in the salon are super friendly and nice! It is a very relaxed and casual atmosphere where you really feel apart of a family! read more

Went in to see Brandy. First thing I noticed about the salon was that it was beautiful inside and very clean. Everyone is warm, friendly and smiling. Brandy took me back and shampooed my hair. She was so sweet she even massaged my head and neck to get the knots out. I noticed she uses the best smelling products that will protect my hair. The cut came out exactly like I wanted from a photo I showed her. After a week my hair is still easy to blow dry and doesnt look weird like some places. The salon's pricing is all on a handy sheet at the front if you're worried about pricing. Personally I think their prices are fair but have room for increase overall (not sure why $$) unless someone walked in and out because they thought the decor was $$$ quality. read more

This review is for NAILS BY CATHY: First of all, I've been getting my nails done by lots of other people for YEARS. I wasn't happy. I found Cathy about 6 months ago when I asked my hairdresser for a recommendation for someone who was good and didn't run an assembly-line nail salon. What a treat! For a Pedicure, you go into your own serene room (only one chair) and it is SO relaxing. Not to mention Cathy is meticulous, clean and patient. She is wonderful. I have never been happier. I finally don't have problems with ingrown nails anymore! Same price no matter if you get flowers, french, whatever. Also: She takes her time. An hour for each Manicure, AND Pedicure. It's my down-time. No rushing here. Hopefully Cathy will continue to do this for a long time. I see a wonderful partnership in our future..... :-) read more

I've been going to Christy M for my facials for over 5 years now and she's the BEST. I would not let anyone else touch my face especially since I struggle with adult acne. Christy always tries different masks on me which always calm my face. My skin feels so clean and refreshed every time. Oh and let me tell you about those neck and shoulder massages: Chirsty has magic hands! She makes your headaches go away in a second! read more

I would give both Melanie Martin (waxing) and Nicole Mayhew 10's if i could. I stumbled on to the salon one Saturday and looked thru the Ramona phone book.. both of them had openings so i went. way happy for what amounted to a walk in on a Saturday.. I have never left.... Melanie makes me laugh as she rips the hair from where ever is needed and is always in a bubbly mood.. Nicole just rolls her eyes at me when i say "can the red be any brighter" - hair is not what i do so i trust her completely... Love her love her lover..... I went in last night all stressed and bummed out, we did a totally different color set up and i love it.......... looks great, and totally changed my mood.... will never leave her........... poor girl is stuck with me.. so much so that both her and Melanie are stuck with my mom as well..... thank you both for the many years of great work.. read more

Brandy is the best! She always does an amazing job with my hair. I trust her 150%! I always love her suggestions when I want to make a change. I always get compliments on how great my hair color/cut is. read more

After living in San Diego for a year now I finally found a suitable salon for me!! I've been getting my hair colored and styled by Tasmyn for the past few months and she does an amazing job! And I find the pricing to be very fair! She actually listens to what you want and consults with you about it. It's a super relaxing experience, but also the conversation is nice too! Sometimes I dread that small talk at some salons but it was a completely awesome experience with Tasmyn and Sunshine Hair Design & spa! read more

Wow. I just had a Deluxe European facial by Christy. I am completely hooked! I was very hesitant, as I don't really like massages. It either tickles or hurts. So when I was given a facial for a gift, I wasn't really sure what to expect. Christy was absolutely wonderful. She let me know what was she was doing every step of the way and what to expect. The pressure was great, not too soft, not too hard. I will definitely be going back! read more

Love this place! They do a great job and keep up to date with the current trends while still being affordable. I highly recommend the stylist Kashmir, she has cut my hair a couple times now and has done a wonderful job every time! read more

My mom started visiting this salon over 20 years ago and always was pleased with their work and their commitment to making customers happy. When I started going there as well, I found the same to be true. I have used their services for waxing, manicures and hair coloring, and brought my husband and both his parents here before our wedding for hair cuts and color (for my mother-in-law). Everyone I've encountered has always been friendly and helpful, and I leave feeling well cared for. read more

Leesa Lauriano is the best. She succeeded in getting my bleached out hair to a beautiful shade of golden brown-and the color held! Her ability to cut hair is top notch. I love her confidence which helped make me feel better about making a drastic change. She listened to what I wanted, then told me not to worry, she'd handle it! She exceeded my expectations and I get compliments daily on my new hair. The other day I stopped in for a root touch-up without notice. She squeezed me right in. I highly recommend Leesa as a stylist and I'm enjoying getting to know her. I've adopted her as my new stylist!!! read more

I love Lauren! She has been doing my hair for 7 years and has been with me through all the different styles I've gone with. She is awesome!!
