I really hesitated to write this review because I initially thought David Langit was a nice person,…read morebut ultimately I was really disappointed in my entire experience. On April 22, I went in and showed David mushroom blonde hair as my goal because I was taking maternity photos soon and wanted something a little more subdued. He assured me that it was possible. However right towards the end, he told me, with color in hand already, that he wasn't going to tone the color I wanted because it would show grays more easily. I felt like I didn't really have an option but decided to trust him. When my hair finished, the front two pieces looked good, but when I washed my hair two days later, I just felt like the rest was nothing like what I had wanted. It was overly yellow and not ashy at all. Still, I didn't want to cause problems, so I went ahead and did my photos the following weekend (May 2 -- 10 days since the appointment). When I got my final photos back from the photographer this week, I was horrified. I have been doing balayage on my hair for years & a huge section of orange hair just 10 days after my dye appointment is NOT normal. There was a clear band of orange hair that had not lifted enough. With a lot of hesitation, I reached out to David to ask if he could fix it, but he said I had to have contacted him within two weeks and now he would have to charge me again. I tipped 20% on a $500 bill and spent $600+ just to have orange hair. My photos clearly showed that just 10 days after my appointment, my hair was already orange. The only reason I waited until now was because I didn't want to bother him... It shocked me that he felt this was a fair resolution. I felt like if he could have at least lifted the sections he missed without charge then I could at least get by with evenly colored hair even if it wasn't ashy. After reaching out to other stylists for help, one told me that whoever did my hair shouldn't be charging me for a fix because "they didn't finish their job" and another told me that it was clear that he had missed a chunk. To me this shows that this was an actual issue that is clearly visible to other stylists, and David was choosing to ignore it. Overall I was saddened by this experience more than anything else. I was under the impression that he was a professional who cared about the quality of his work, but it's now clear that was not the case. I'm disappointed that I trusted him with my hair because not only does it look terrible, but it ruined my photos as well.

Rolando was incredible! After a couple traumatizing experiences in San Diego, we researched for a…read morelong time before booking an Education Cut with Rolando. It's an investment but so worth it! My 12 year old has very tight curls with multiple curl patterns that continue to change in puberty. She became self-conscious of her hair in middle school and desperately wanted to understand how to maintain it so that it grows again and how to style it so that she can stop wearing slick back low pony tails. Enter Rolando - he was patient, took his time to listen to her concerns and explained every step as he was doing it. He went through each product, was intentional about keeping it minimal effort so she could learn how to recreate it herself, and suggested products that were best for her hair that also were affordable. My daughter left with healthy, defined bouncy curls and a huge smile. So grateful for this experience and happy to have someone we now trust. As an aside, the studio itself is lovely. They have free snacks and drinks while you wait, comfortable seating and are very communicative about how to navigate parking in the location.

I have been getting curly cuts for years and I have never experienced SO MANY compliments…read moreafterwards as I have in the last 5 days since sitting in Aisha's chair. From the jump, Aisha so warmly greeted me as I walked in and welcomed me to her chair as she set up. She so effortlessly got into asking me about my hair goals, current routine, areas I wanted more help with and incorporated everything throughout our appointment. I emphasized wanting to preserve length and for once, after experiencing one too many "scissor-happy" stylists, Aisha approached every snip with care and precision to find my ideal shape again, while respecting my wishes. I added on a detox as well and Aisha walked me through the whole routine she was using for the process. Like any other casual conversation, she sat in the chair right next to me as the detox processed and talked me through the products and techniques she recommended for clarifying my curls, conditioning and styling. I felt I really got the service I was paying for with her undivided attention the whole appointment. Back in the chair, she was honest and concise with her feedback for the health of my hair and how I could improve it - something I really needed. Fast forward, 5 days later; including a wash and style of my own and my hair has been the talk of the town! From friends and family to complete strangers going out of their way to tell me my curls/haircut looked great...all thanks to Aisha!!

I just recently moved to San Diego from the Bay Area and I wanted to find a stylist who was warm,…read morewelcoming, and good at what they do. Mari fit all of those things and more! Mari is unlike any hair stylist I have ever experienced before (in the best of ways). When you set up your first appointment with her, she will be upfront about the time it takes for her to do your hair; she is non-traditional! Do not expect to be in and out in 30 minutes. You are not "just another" client to her. She puts so much time and effort on your hair and you will feel like royalty when you're in her chair. She listens so carefully to your hair goals and wants to make sure you love your hair when you leave. She is also so wise, and you will feel like you have been friends with her for years! I took a risk with her and went much shorter than I usually do, but she made me feel awesome and confident doing so. My hair has felt so healthy and happy ever since. It's been about 9 or so weeks since she cut my hair, and it is *just* starting to get to the awkward phase. Luckily I have an appointment in a few weeks and I cannot wait. I highly recommend her! :-)

I was a little worried at first, since I didn't see any reviews for my stylist anywhere, but I did see the salon seemed to have consistently good reviews all around, so I trusted their reputation. I called and texted with Alisha to easily make an appointment within a week, and she also confirmed with me the day before. I arrived at the salon (free parking!), which is cute, comfortable and very stylish. Alisha was friendly and warm, and listened to my requests to only lighten the regrowth (less damage to the ends). The time flew by as we talked and she put foils through my hair. She is super professional, knows what she is doing, and it was one of the fastest highlighting processes I've ever been through. The best part was, my hair looked Amazing when she finished. She even gave me some curling tips when she styled it. I was able to curl and recreate what she did later for a photo shoot. Thank you Alisha, you have gained a repeat customer!

I always like to give a new place a try for more than 6 months before giving a review…read more With that being said, I love coming to this Salon because of Alan. He's amazing and he's the only one that can control my full thick hair in San Diego. He's super talented and his customer service is 10/10. The only issue with this Salon, is the location. It's not in the best area and lately every time I've gone, there's a group of guys always smoking cannabis, drinking out front and fighting. I understand Cannabis is legal in California but as a girl and having to walk past a group of 4-5 guys who are high/drunk just to get my hair done doesn't necessarily make me feel safe. The last time I got my hair done, it took over 8 hours since Alan is actually allergic to cannabis and had to take multiple breaks. He mentioned that the walls are pretty thin and the canabis smell/ smoke can come through pretty easily and affect his work. Which I could actually smell every time I go inside. I truly feel so sad for Alan and Beautiful You Sis Salon as their business is being affected. This wasn't an issue before and like I've said, I've been coming here since early this year. I hope they can get this figured out before they start losing customers as most of us are women. I have an appointment coming up and will update my post in case I see a change.

Second time we were inside the shop waiting for you after confirming the appointment via your generated emails. We all have issues in life, some big, some small, but it's how we deal with them which counts. There is no excuse for this behavior, especially when you claim/advertise to hold such high standards and charge a premium for your service. You are lacking in basic communication skills, morals and conscientiousness. As a father, I have explained to my daughter that unfortunately this is how some people treat other people in this world and that this will probably not be the first time she comes across this unfortunate and selfish act. So I guess there is a positive side to your actions, it allows me to show my daughter first hand how some people can let you down and not be trusted.
