There are not enough words to explain the value Toni puts into her brand. Her hair studio is not that average and you can tell when you first pull up to her shop. Once you walk in, you know you're in a salon that is clean, well valued, and have a sense of serenity! The decor is also on point and there has never been a time that I've gone that the shop has been in a disarray. What shop have you ever been to that's always spotless and smell good at all times no matter how busy it is. Toni makes sure she takes pride in her brand and is a perfect example of her work! She is always put together and never makes excuses as to why her hair or appearance is a mess and she is always professional. This is why I was shocked to see the 1 star review that was left! I'm not a hairstylist, but I do have curly hair and know that my curly hair will never be bone straight with a relaxer. A relaxer is made to straighten your hair, but a good stylist is able to keep your hair healthy by keeping the integrity of your texture, especially when you want to add color. That is one thing Toni and I have discussed when she has colored my hair in the past. Her motto is healthy hair first! She is not one of those stylist that will put chemicals in your hair without you understanding what comes with the process. I love how she has taken care of my scalp; which has allowed my hair to grow and it's the healthiest it has ever been. No more shedding! No more flakes! No more dead hair! I have a beautiful full short cut with volume and she's even gotten my thin sides to fill in. I am thankful that Toni always puts her clients first, always reinvesting in her hair studio, takes the time to always educate her clients, and most recently have made major changes to incorporate COVID changes that proves she's not playing any games with our health nor hers! read more

I found Toni after having anxiety knowing my hair was in dire straights after having back to back extensions for almost 13 years somewhere else. As you can imagine my real hair was literally like the crypt keeper. Thin, dull and pretty much gone. I had been thinking for years about wearing my real hair but I thought it would be impossible since it was so thin and had so much breakage. Toni breathed new life into me and my hair!! She took out my previous extensions and we had a talk about my desire to break free. She cut a beautiful pixie on me and I am confident to actually wear my natural hair and break free from the feeling that I "had" to have extensions. I cannot thank you enough Toni you have changed my life!! read more

RESCUE ME!!! when I first met her she was very professional and polite. During our consultation session she brought to the table everything she could do for my hair and what can I expect from her as my stylist. She answered all my questions and my main question was about time management, because my last stylist always had me in the shop all day and don't nobody have time for that. She told me that she understood and that she don't double book so when I schedule my appointment I was in and out. love that! She have done braids, weaves, conditioning, and color to my hair and every style was on point. I'm glad I have found her. I have been going to Toni for my hair since July of 2014. read more

Toni Burrell Hair Studio - This is a sew-in bob: colored, cut, and styled - Hair Stylists Near Me - La Mesa, California

I had Toni service my curly hair I spent over two months growing out. The only way I knew how to make it bone straight was to relax it and I also wanted it platinum blonde. Toni agreed to do both within three weeks of each other. I asked her more than once if the relaxer would make it bone straight and she replied yes each time. A week after the relaxer I washed it and it wasn't bone straight like she said it'd be. It had an unexpected curl to it. I respectfully brought this concern and question to her via email honestly thinking I would come to a better understanding and resolution to my hair goals. She replied back explaining things to me regarding the relaxer service & process of going blonde that she failed to tell me during my initial consultation. Had she done so I would've obviously understood why my hair still had a curl to it and not questioned her about it. Instead, she decided not to do business with me ever again which I feel was out of spite due to her feeling slightly offended. She met me with the classic "I wish you the best of luck..." I've attached the factual email exchange between Toni & I and also proof that I was a client of hers & I did pay her for relaxing my hair so Yelp knows I'm genuine, legit, and voicing a real concern I had regarding my experience with this business owner/hairstylist. read more

I have been coming to this salon for a few years now and I absolutely love everything about it. Lately I have been coming for braids and Sana is simply amazing! She is not only professional and friendly but honest! I love coming in to sit in her chair. I've done two rounds of individual braids and now I have a unique cornrow style. She is truly passionate about her brand and her skills show it! If you don't listen to anything else I say go to this salon and get you some braids or go sit in Toni's chair and get that hair slayed. Either way your life will be changed!!!! read more

So I've been going to Toni for over a year now.... I always get a sew in weave with a little leave out. First few times were great she would get me in right away. She would always compliment how she loved doing my hair because it was easy and quick to do my hair and that I wasn't high maintenance. She would do my weave within 1.5 hours, sometimes 2 because she had other clients. I even referred my coworker there.... So the last time I went to her she didn't really greet me, I was 6 months pregnant at the time and she had me waiting for 2 hours!!!! She never really said anything, didn't say sorry she could have even called me to tell me she was running behind and I could have come in later. I'm sorry but that's not respecting my time. Then she tries to rush me out of the chair to make a work out class, after I had to cancel a business appointment because she made me wait forever. So I made my appointment that day so I could leave for a vacation the next day, the next day after my hair was done, a track came loose and it was hanging. I text her and just wanted her to fix it, it's a quick fix and she wasn't sorry, was rude and was not willing to work around the time I could make it. It literally takes 5 minutes to fix. It's ok the track came loose mistakes happen but it was like pulling teeth for her to be able to fix it. I like how she does my hair like I said it's quick and she knows what to do.... so I made an appointment again and I had it scheduled for the perfect time because I had a maternity shoot. She was going on vacation and sent out an email to all of her clients. So I scheduled my appointment before she left for vacation. The website said for a sew in weave with minimal leave out $150, which I always paid. I called her the day before the appointment to confirm, she's going to tell me I've been meaning to call you but I'm going to have to start charging you $275!!!! That's a $125 increase.... ok your prices went up a lot, but you couldn't have been professional enough to call or send a text that the prices went up even though your website says $150. It's clear for some reason she didn't want me as a client anymore which I don't understand but don't play with someone's time and emotions. I have no clue why her attitude flipped towards me, but how can you treat someone like that? A paying customer, I am so offended and I had a maternity shoot. She knew what she was doing she didn't respect me as a client and I highly doubt her prices went up that high. We would laugh and talk about stuff, so I thought we were cool.... but like I said her attitude changed the last 2 times. read more

After multiple disappointing experiences from a hair stylist (not from Toni's business) on the day of my wedding, Toni was called out at the very last minute to save me from walking down aisle looking like a hot mess. Planning a destination wedding from Melbourne Australia has a lot of challenges and the people i hired were not who they said they were and definitely didn't deliver quality service. Tony , on the other hand was the best stylist I have ever come across. Tony was committed to make me look and feel beautiful on the most special day of my life. If I could rate Toni 10 stars I would! I appreciate Toni for her talent and her service. Thank you for everything Toni! read more

Thanks for making my job easy and my girlfriend happy TBHS! read more

When I moved to SD a few years ago one of the first things I was looking for was a new place to get my hair done. I hated leaving my old place because I was so used to getting my hair done there and I tried multiple places I didn't like in SD before I went to Toni's salon. After I started going to Toni's hair studio there was no other place I wanted to go. One, her hair studio is incredibly neat, organized and clean. And two, she is super nice and made my hair look amazing. I usually get the "sleek girl" and it made my hair perfectly straight. Exactly what I wanted and she's been helping me make my hair healthier. 10/10 recommend. read more

Toni is such an amazing stylist. We've done a lot of fun things with my hair including fun colors, beautiful beachy blondes and cute long layers. No matter what we decide to do to my hair she is always honest on what the outcome will be and above all wants to keep it healthy! I've never had a stylist as talented as Toni and she's not only great with hair but she's also a great person that makes you feel welcome and at home. I'd recommend her to anyone! read more

There comes a time when you finally meet your match & fall in love with your stylist... Lol Toni is truly gifted, she specializes in a variety of hair textures & techniques. I've been hopping around for the last few years trying to find someone who knew how to treat mixed wavy/curly hair.

So happy the hunt is over & I can honestly stand by her work! Toni does it ALL... I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair until I met her. Every single time I leave my appointment I'm beyond satisfied. Her time management is incomparable. Not only does she get me in and out, my hair feels amazing & sexy!

Toni is absolutely amazing. I love a good hair cut, but I also love good customer service. Toni succeeds in both areas. I've been going to her for over a year now with at least 1 hair cut a month. You'd think that by now I'd be used to her way of cutting my hair, but she still wows me every single time. It puts a smile on my face every time I get a hair cut from Toni because she does such a great job. I've gotten compliments on my hair before, but not the way I've been receiving them ever since going with Toni, and I love that! She knows what she's doing, so don't hesitate to give her a chance if you haven't already :) read more

This review is way over due, I don't write many reviews but Toni deserves it. I've been going to Toni to get my hair done for a while now, she is awesome! It's hard to find a stylist in San Diego that can work with ALL hair types and I have a lot of it...thick, wavy, Latina hair! It's very easy to set up an appointment online which is very helpful. Everyone that works there is very nice and professional. You won't be disappointed :) read more

Toni is awesome. I got exactly the cut I wanted. No fuss, no hassle. Professional and nice as can be. I'll be back for sure.

I love Toni's skill, her expertise, gently yet firmly tames my wild locks!! She is an amazing talent; She also has a great personable warm personality- she lets you quietly read your mag if you want, or she can chop it up on the ready in regards to all the juicy current events/trends;) My family has temporally relocated out of state and I could not be missing her and that flip of the wrist more! Can't wait to move back and get the golden treatment for my locks-- I will have to settle for now:/ read more

I have some insecurities from a condition that affects my hair and scalp, during the consult I started crying (how embarrassing! lol) and right away Toni began to offer words of encouragement and comfort.

Toni is an artist. I had a friend recommend her and I finally gave her a try. SO GLAD I did!! The salon is clean, well designed and open. You are greeted and treated like a true client/person, not taken for granted. Some salons make you feel like a dollar sign walking in the door. They abuse your hair, use your time ALL DAY, and run a sweat factory at any cost to you. She's professional and likes different styles. She uses quality products. I dumped my previous hairstylist and rushed over to Toni to stay. Its SUPER easy to book appts, verses texting and running after someone to book you. Her effort is high above the rest. You wont regret it! Hair will look GREAT! read more

I tried TBHS based on previous yelp reviews. I am very pleased with my results. My hair is soft and looks fabulous.

I love Toni Burrell!!! I started coming to Toni for my hair needs about 4 years ago, well before she opened the Toni Burrell Hair Studio. I've gotten everything from a Wash and Press, to a full sew-in w/ closure...even braids (done by the Amazing Sana!!!). I have NEVER been disappointed! When I first started coming to Toni my hair was so damaged and within a few sessions my hair was growing and healthy. I can't imaging trusting anyone else with my hair!!!! read more

I have only have know Toni Burrell for eight months, within the first six months of knowing her Toni grew my hair out 6 inches in length. I continued to receive services and she continued to provided me with a profound wealth of knowledge on haircare. Most people may not know this but Toni is what I would consider a professor of the hair care industry. She is educated in ALL hair types, and she has a multi-cultural customer base. Which in my book is very impressive and is why she has earned the title of Master Stylist! She continues to trend with all the up an coming styles, while maintaining professionalism at the highest level of integrity. So if you are in need of a haircare professional that cares about their trade and their clients then call Toni Burrell Hair Studios today at (619) 825-3275! read more

OMG where do I begin !!! Thanks for giving me Beyoncé hair. She does a broad range of services all of which she excels at. I've never had luck with extensions but not only has my hair grown significantly but she personalizes the hair style for your needs. The first time I got a weave and I usually never do that because of bad experiences in the past and not a damaged hair in sight. I wanted more versatility however so the second time we did microlinks in the front and braided in the back. Omg!! so natural and I could wear my hair half up half down, tight slick pony tails, high pony tails. Omg YES ! I'm so beyond excited to have found her ! I go when I want to get styled for events or a new color or just to look amazing for my man ! Not to mention she is so PROFESSIONAL. You won't be left waiting like other salons I have been to. SERIOUSLY whatever your hair texture or type she has the remedy. She maintains the integrity of your hair and the most important goal is for it to be healthy and strong and grow. COMPLETELY WORTH IT! Cons: I'm addicted now .... Lol. I think she has an Instagram @toniburrellhairstudio Every woman knows hair is EVERYTHING. it changes your day. And she's just the woman to do it. What a precious find!! Thanks Toni & Team read more

Toni has taken care of me and my hair for a few years now, and I have always appreciated her care and time with me when I come in.

She is creative, kind, funny and thoughtful, and I appreciate her business ethics and standards. I always want support small women owned businesses and appreciate her talent and expertise.

Toni did my hair for my wedding 2 years ago (which came out flawless) and has been doing it ever since. I live in Los Angeles but she is worth the drive. She is meticulous and amazing at her craft.

Toni is such a breath of fresh air for San Diego, which is an area that is hard to find stylist that care and style ebony hair-- professionally I should add. She is always professional, she is very knowledgeable about hair care, and she is always there to aid her clients in hair care or purchasing hair products. Some stylist just do your hair, but in my opinion Toni is much more. She actually cares about the health and growth of her client's hair. She will not just do what you come in and request if she's not sure it's in the best interest of the health of your hair! She's prompt with her appointments; there is no waiting because she over booked. She's pleasant with a humble personality; coming to the salon is a good time, as it should be! Toni has weaved my hair, straightened my natural tresses, she's braided my hair; she can do everything. I haven't got any color (yet) but I have seen for myself the color works she does and its amazing! Her salon is lovely: it's spacious and comfortable; great atmosphere with equally great people to add to your experience! San Diego Women: do not sleep on Toni Burrell honey! make your appointment today! You will not be dissappointed when you go! read more

Very versatile stylist. Experienced! You name she does it. Works with all hair types, textures and lengths. Love her work!!

After trying many different hair stylist and not having the results I wanted, I was very hesitant to try someone new again. My friend referred Toni to me and after seeing my friends results and the many pictures on her Instagram, I thought I would give her a try. Making an appointment was very easy; [I did not get a consultation] and she was brave to take me on without one. The atmosphere in her shop is amazing; very clean and upscale. (You won't feel like you need to take your purse with you when you go to the bathroom) Toni and her staff are very professional and polite. I went in for a color and press and put two braids in my hair and was very happy with my results. My hair has been pretty damage over the years; she explained to me some of the things I could to help improve my hair. I honestly feel that if I continue to come to her, my hair will get healthy. I would highly recommend her. Thankful I can say I finally found a hair salon. read more
