What an amazing salon in an amazing location and even more amazing stylists. Phillipe booked me and took down all of my previous hairstylists formulas and made me feel super welcomed. He set an appointment with Chuck! First time I've been to the salon and how lucky I am to have met the perfect stylist for me. I love my hair,he was so kind and funny. It went by like no time. I LOVE my hair color and cut. I'll be back and I recommend him to anyone wanting to feel better. You're in the best hands! read more

My hair stylist Mandy was amazing! I got balayage, which she helped walk me through all the different options to get exactly what I wanted. This is the most I have liked my hair for YEARS! 10/10 experience overall, plus the salon is so cute! read more

Mandy is the best! She's been cutting and coloring my hair for almost 6 years. She's the only person I trust- the cut is always exactly what I ask for and my highlights look natural and are perfectly toned every time. She has the best recommendations, whether my hair is too dry or I'm trying to grow it out longer. AND, her scalp and neck massages are the best. I even recommended her to my brother, who has longer wavy hair, as he never could find the right person, and he loves her as well. read more

I had my first hair appointment with Mandy, and I absolutely loved it! She was so beyond welcoming and I loved the results of my hair so much! read more

Mandy is hands down the best colorist I've met. She was referred to me from my roommates color that's really well done n finally got to experience getting my color with her. She reached out to me and had to me send inspo photos and had a very thorough consultation with me which never happened with other stylist. I love that she doesn't double book which my other girl was always doing and leave bleach on my hair way too long. She checked on my hair the whole process and told me step by step everything she was doing. The outcome was more than I could of ever imagined and I finally feel heard. I've gotten so many compliments on my color and will never go anywhere else again! Thank you Mandy for caring about the integrity of my hair and giving me the best balayage EVER and not gouging me in the price. Highly recommend her. She's the best colorist I've found in 20yrs! read more

I chose this Salon because of the good ratings it had on Yelp. I have fine hair with out-grown baby lights that needed a cut and color. The women that helped me was Lauren or "Lo". A couple of hours before my appointment I sent her pictures of the color and style I wanted. Which she agreed she could do. I was seated and left WAITING while she finished a mens hair cut right next to me while leaving my hair to PROCESS. I got there at 5:30pm and left at 8:00pm!! Only to go home looking like I had old WASHED OUT pink hair that hadn't seen a salon in months. How is that even possible?!?! She kept reassuring me that it would "WASH OUT". I get home and text her that I'm unhappy with the color and she offered to fix it the following day. We agreed on 3:00pm that night. I was able to to leave work early and txted her during salon hours if she would be able to take me earlier. After an hour of no response, I went home 25-30 min away and decided to get my hair colored by someone else closer to home. I texted her about me not needing to get my hair done and SHE GOES OFF ON ME. At this point I want my money back for this TERRIBLE experience and HORRIBLE customer service. The third picture is what I asked her for!!!! I SPENT $180 FOR THIS UPDATE: I was refunded $180 on 7/22 read more

I am still coming here. Steven is still hooking it up and keeping my hair happy and healthy. Most recently I decided to clean the crazy colors out and try an ombré. Then got a much needed Brazilian blowout two weeks later. Always good conversations and great vibes at this salon. read more

New here in town and stumbled upon this little gem of a salon. Played great music and everyone was nice. I went in for a mullet haircut. A gentleman named Luke said he could do it. Wow, they should call this guy the mullet master. Dude put on an absolute master class with the blades. read more

Luke at Sweet Salon is the BEST! People ask me all the time where I get my hair done. They compliment me 4 months after I've had my hair done AND they ask me if I have extensions, but I don't! I also love Luke because he's kind, funny, & always happy to see me! I leave there feeling well taken care of. read more

Just had an amazing experience at Sweet! Never been here before, but walked in on a whim looking like a straight up caveman after a year without a haircut. It was bad. Luke the owner took me right away even though it was his day off! Super friendly guy who beared with my ignorance regarding hair and gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for. And he's a born and raised local like me so that's cool. It's a shame it took me so long, but I'm so happy to have found my new spot! I will definitely be back, thanks Luke! read more

I drove in from Orange County for a friend's wedding. Spontaneously I wanted to get my hair curled and found this salon online close to the wedding venue. I booked online through their website and I was relieved they took same day appointments. Lauren took care of me and I was beyond excited at how amazing she did for me. She listened to what I wanted and outperformed my expectations!! She was super professional and friendly!! read more

Just had a video shoot at the Belly Up. Jordan and Natalie did my hair, and it looked fierce!!! Totally recommend them. They were on time, so sweet and really great. My hair looked amazing!!! read more

I cannot believe I didn't leave a review for this back when i went here in October for a really challenging hair makeover! But the stylists who worked on my hair deserve the credit in the form of a positive review. It was Christina (CC) and I believe Luke (it's been a few months so I'm not positive!) who took my hair from magenta to blonde. My new job was requiring a hair color change to something "natural", so there was a little bit of pressure and definitely a bit of a mood from me about the work situation. They worked tirelessly with my very stubborn hair, literally all day (6 hours in the chair), until it was a perfect, beautiful blonde. It would be a five star review but for the price. It was outrageously expensive, but I do understand the cost considering it took up the better part of the day for two stylists. Two stylists! That's how much they cared about my hair and the final result. I seriously have never felt so cared about in a Salon before. read more

Best salon in San Diego! Highly recommend ! Top notch can't beat this salon. Constantly getting compliments on my hair since I've been going here. Will send friends ! Thank you read more

Luke, my stylist, understood exactly what I was looking for in a haircut and executed it perfectly. Watching locals stroll in and exchange conversation with the stylists, cracking jokes as Luke's contagious laughter echoed away, I was reminded why I love coming to Sweet Salon. It illuminates the feeling of community that shines throughout Ocean Beach. People pleasantly vibing with each other, making light-hearted conversation into the afternoon. Sweet Salon not only delivers on the promise of professionalism but also on the importance of providing a genuine human connection by making their customers feel like they belong, are appreciated and understood. read more

Sweet salon is a beautiful little place with a welcoming and grounded atmosphere. The stylists and there are always very friendly And approachable, And the salon is clean and well maintained. I have been going to Chuck to do my hair for the past few years and he does an amazing job! He has walked me through various stages of highlights and Balayage, And most recently has been installing and maintaining my hand tied sew in extensions! Chuck found the exact color That I needed and blended and toned my hair perfectly to match! He always does an amazing job on everything he does, And always remains professional, polite and Supportive of all of my crazy ideas lol! I would VERY HIGHLY recommend both Chuck and Sweet Salon for any of your hair styling desires! read more

Chuck is amazing! Found the salon on Yelp, and the whole experience was fantastic. My son had a photo of the haircut he wanted, and Chuck executed it flawlessly. The haircut was so good, his brother requested getting a haircut with Chuck also! Will definitely be back. read more

Lindsay is AMAZING - she transformed my dull, messed up hair with all these different treatments and styled it perfectly. Thank you, I absolutely love my hair :) read more

Great cut and consult from Ashlee. I followed her to this salon because she's my hair magician! She really takes the time to work with your vision and goals. And her color and style abilities are seriously breathtaking! I really like how open and airy this salon is. Great artwork and natural light. From what I can tell, all of the staff are booked directly through their website. Check out Sweet Salon today! read more

Amazing to find Lauren at Sweet Salon! After a year my hair no longer looks brassy- fake blonde rather Lauren toned and trimmed it back to natural beautiful blond. I had been struggling with overdone highlights that left me putting my hair in a ponytail the last year to hide it. Now I confidently wear it down- Lauren is amazing with layers as well! THANK YOU! read more

Went for a walk-in haircut today & was not disappointed! I'm new to the area so I was a little nervous to go into a new salon, but Chuck just became my go-to guy! He greeted me immediately when I walked in & we got down to business. I was excited to go in to chop off quite a bit of hair & he made it a fun experience from start to finish. He encouraged me to take off a little more after the initial cut since I told him I was looking for a drastic change & I'm glad he did! Then when it came to blow drying & styling my hair, I couldn't have asked for anyone better. I don't part my hair which can make it tricky to style after a cut, but he was the first person to get it exactly the way I like it! My hair looks amazing! He gave me his card afterward & you can bet I'll be contacting him for my next cut. read more

Chuck is hair magic!! I have followed him to 3 different salons since he first worked on my hair and it has never looked better in my life! My hair is soo silky for a couple weeks after our visits & the color & shape is immaculate. I don't even heat style anymore bc it's so healthy, suddenly I have perfect natural curls I have never seen before. Deffo ask for him & add a treatment to your color if you have damaged hair. read more

Yay!! My girl Mary Beth is back at Sweet! So, I just wanted to write a quick little review to update my original review. Sweet Salon is awesome, I've been going for years and it has been a consistently good experience. If you have any questions about getting a Brazilian blowout - talk to Mary Beth. I didn't want to do it because I was afraid my hair would get damaged. Definitely has not damaged my hair - in fact it has made my life a million times easier. It's a simple thing you get done and don't have to think about for 3 or so months. Totally worth it. read more

In town for awhile and needed a fresh cut, a local friend of mine recommended Steven and I'm so glad she did. Steven gave me a great cut, exactly what I wanted, and took extra time on my bangs to make sure they were just right. Also threw in a very nice head message during the shampoo. Overall awesome experience and def will come back when cruising through San Diego again. read more

I love my hair! I desperately needed a change and saw Stephanie for a cut, bangs, and ombre. It looks amazing, and she gave me a great deal! I have never had so many compliments. The cut looks and feels great, and I love the color. Go see Stephanie, and tell her I sent you ;) read more

Chuck has been doing my hair for years...He is my absolute favorite guy around!! Not only does he deal with my extremely thick, very long hair with ease, grace, and patience, but he also ensures that my time there at Sweet Salon is fun and special. Chuck has a huge heart of gold and I look forward to my time with him everytime! He has magic hands and will not only leave your hair looking great, he'll leave you feeling great about yourself too! Also, the vibe and energy at Sweet Salon is upbeat, positive, groovy and sweeeeeeet!!! read more

Well I'm in awe! A recent newcomer to San Diego.. very sensitive about my hair. I chose this salon because it was within walking distance of my place. I also chose Luke randomly from the website which was simple to navigate. Let me tell you! He is awesome!!!! He listened to what I said, was decisive about what to do based on what I wanted and I don't need anyone to tell me I look 10 years younger! I can't say enough good things! Pleasant young man to boot! read more

Salon is currently closed. Made an appt online, no note on the door. Stylist did eventually get back to me that they closed Wednesday.

Jacquelyn (sp?) is amazing! Worth the money. Great environment. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and make suggestions for what I may like. I was in when it wasn't super busy, but everyone was very friendly. Can be hard to find parking right in front- but there's always parking on side streets in OB. read more

I don't want to give 1 star review since the hairstylist is really nice person - however I came for an all over coloring and haircut.. I couldn't even notice any difference.. my hair got darker and lighter here and there. I messaged her and asked if she could fix it.. she explained it to me and said I had different hair dye on my hair etc etc. she asked me to go in again two days later. She bleached my hair and said it would fix the problem.. due to the lighting at the salon I couldn't really see it but when I went home and took a picture - omfg. Did I just spend $275 + 25% tips for this??? I don't even bother to message her to tell her to fix my hair... I'm not going to waste any dollar to "fix" when she can't fix this mess. I gonna let it be and go to another salon in few months. read more

When I lived in San Diego, this was my salon and Steven was my guy! He can do NO WRONG! He always gets my cut (and color) exactly right and makes me feel like a million bucks! Like, you want to make sure you have a date lined up for right after because you look so good! I recently moved 100 miles away and was in desperate need of a haircut, so I went to a local salon. Big mistake. HUGE!! My hair looks awful. Looks like I'll be making the 100 mile trek to OB for haircuts from now on! read more

No less than four Ocean Beach barbers were closed before 4 P.M. on July 3rd of 2021 (I hoofed it to Good Vibes, Ocean Clipps, O.B. Barbershop, and The Cliffs first) when I walked past Sweet Salon thinking perhaps this was as pointless a quest as trying to find a supermarket open on a Saturday in the Netherlands and wondering why no one wanted my money. Got an excellent cut from a friendly and professional (okay also she was adorable) stylist not afraid to work until at least 5 PM on a holiday weekend. 5 out of 5. read more

JUST DO IT! Eric, owner, colorist, stylist and genius is the sweetest most understanding stylist i have ever been to. he gave me a cut i had only dreamt of. perhaps most important for us curly headed people who suffer mushroom silhouette he has a secret way of cutting that made complete sense. ALSO he showed me how to correctly use a curling iron. thats a secret i wont share here - you'll have to visit him. the salon's vibe is so wonderful joyful and groovy. i ADORE the neighborhood too. already made my next appointment! thank you Eric you magic man you! ps: extra added his dog Cash will sit on your lap if you ask nicely which i did! xoxo read more

I came here for the first time when I recently moved to OB 1.5 years ago and needed a blowout for my graduation party. I've been coming since. Luke is a miracle worker. He gave my natural curls a stunning balayage and gives me a moisturizing treatment each time. His cuts and styles are awesome too. Luke and the rest of the Sweet Salon staff go above and beyond and are very fair with proving. Their hours are super reasonable too. My mom now drives all the way up from Encinitas just to get her hair done here. read more

I LOVE CHUCK! He has been doing my hair for about a year and I'm always so pleased with the results! Plus, he's a total sweetheart!!!

Steven! So I'm very picky about who does my hair. It's long and thick and tricky to cut/color. Plus I'm a natural blonde who chooses to go Auburn. Steven had done a magnificent job on my hair for months now and I couldn't be happier with his balayage and coloring skills. Great conversation too. read more

Having recently moved to OB from Long Beach I originally planned on returning to my old hairdresser. Trying to work in a visit plus get a cut & color didn't seem to workout. Since my last color & cut was 55 days ago I with my platinum blonde was starting to have a very large dark strip up the center of my head. I yelped finding Sweet Salon as I could walk there thought even better! I read reviews then picked Jacquelyn, but looking around @ others work while in there seems like an all around great salon. I got there early she arrived made me feel at easy as we discussed what I wanted then started on the color. She was FAST & my color came out perfect. Next she cut my hair. Fabulous job all around and I was in & out in 3 hours! I've found my new hairstylist! So looking for someone new try Jacquelyn! read more

I avoid getting my hair cut because I am picky but low maintenance when it comes to doing my hair aaand I normally don't love the result. I part my hair all over the place, so fresh cuts can be pretty obvious. I went to see Lindsay because it had been a year since I had a trim, and my hair needed LOVE. We did a partial balayage and trim, and I am IN LOVE. Sweet Salon is a great little spot in OB and Lindsay is a hair goddess. She turned my messy, sad, dull locks into bright and healthy hair. I think I found my new stylist! Thanks Lindsay! read more
