Jackie did great job cutting my hair short!!! Loove it!! She took her time and did exactly what I want it! It's not easy to find-such a good hair dresser for short cuts... read more

Jacky is a lovely, genuine person. I liked that she took the time to really listen to what I wanted, and I ended up with a terrific haircut, which many people have complicated me on. Thanks, Jacky! I also like that there is free parking for her salon as parking in North Park can be difficult to find. read more

Marlene was wonderful at explaining everything and went into great detail. Everything she told me resonated with me. I also appreciated her recommendations for my particular issues. I definitely recommend for anyone to have their Sidereal birth chart reading by Marlene. She was kind, patient and very informative. Great energy! read more

After a year of searching for the right hair stylist in San Diego, I found Jacky and I have been seeing her for a year now. She has saved me from hair disasters. This visit came upon because of a slight moment of insanity when I thought I could cut my own hair with kitchen scissors. Don't judge, we all have those moments. Jacky knows I like to keep my hair short/asymetrical/femine and she does it perfectly. She even gave me the most perfect of purple hues while making my hair look and feel healthier than before. That wasn't the best part of the visit. This little Totem Salon was a great place to hang out. The conversation flowed between hair dressers and clients and we had a great time amongst a variety of topics. This made the 3 hours I was there fly by. If you want great hair and want to hang with some fun gals, go to Totem! read more

Totem Salon - Hair by Jacky - Hair Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

See all

Jacky is an amazing stylist! I highly recommend her if you're looking for a great stylist in SD. She knows her craft and truly personalizes the experience so you walk out looking your best. The last haircut I got was the best I've ever had (no exaggeration here) and I'm so impressed with how it's growing out. She also works with your natural hair texture and uses non-toxic products which I really appreciate because that can be hard to find. I'm so happy I found her and wish I could give even more stars! read more

Jacky is amazing!!! Had her chop of 18 inches to donate it, and was a little nervous to go short again. But my hair looks awesome!!! read more

Totem Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I met Jackie ages ago through a Groupon promotion. I continue to go to her for many years now because of her great talent. I have naturally thick wavy hair that can easily get weighed down and just look like a mess. Jackie cuts my hair so that it is less heavy but still thick. My hair air dries into awesome beachy waves. I always get more compliments on my hair after its cut by Jackie. Plus shes a great conversationalist! I used to dread going to get my hair cut because of the terse small talk or the awkward silence. Instead, talking with Jackie is like talking to a friend yet it also feels natural when I want to relax and be quiet. Shes awesome! read more

Jacky is AMAZING. I had the same hairdresser for at least 8 years and finally made the jump to a new one. She took her time and nailed the exact shade of blonde highlights I had been wanting back. Plus, the cut was perfect. She took off just enough to still keep it long but also keep it looking healthy. Her studio is adorable and she is super sweet. Jacky is now my go-to person for years to come. read more

I came across Totem Salon through a groupon deal. I texted Jacky one of the hairstylists there and she booked an appointment for me the next day. When I got there she offered me something to drink. I came for a haircut, wash, style and condition. The products she used are paraben and cruelty free. I really liked how attentive to detail she was. I loved how healthy and shiny my hair looked. The ambient was very calm and relaxing. I enjoyed the music playing in the background and the rustic, natural theme going on. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a professional hairstylist. read more

Totem Salon - Bob Haircut By Jacky - Hair Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Went to Jackie originally through a Groupon and now continue to go back for routine cut and conditioning. Jackie is exactly who I need in my life- very calm, relaxed spirit. We talk about anything and everything but our silence also never feels awkward! Love being able to just text her to set something up and very reasonable pricing! read more

I bought a Groupon because my wife had a free day and wanted her hair cut. After I bought it, this lady told me she was booked all week. I asked for first available which was like the next Wednesday. I should have got a refund then. I tentatively booked it. My wife is a cancer survivor and was having a bad day and we forgot and missed the appointment. She sent me a message 20 minutes after our appt time. No reminder call for a week ahead appt for a hair stylist that I thought I was buying for that day. She redeemed the groupon as if we showed up.(fraud) I would never book this scumbag scammer again. I hope she enjoyed getting paid for eating bon bons. read more

Jacky did a great job with my cut - super chic! Ibe gotten a billion compliments on the style. I recommend her!! read more

Totem Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Super friendly, actually real conversation...and probably the best haircut I've had in a long while! I loved too that her space was on its own. Smelled like essential oils Definitely plan on being a regular! read more

It would be really nice if this owner would respond to a call or text. Purchased the groupon for my daughter's birthday and have called and texted to set up an appointment with no response. This is really frustrating. What a nice gift for my daughter read more

Jacky is AMAZING! Her consistency with cutting my hair is stellar. She is great at listening to exactly what I would like..& adding suggestions to make it even better! THANK YOU, I'll be back again & again! read more

Totem Salon - Jackie giving Virginia a hair-do! - Hair Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I Love Jacky! She knows my hair, Colors. She's awesome! She's AMAZING! since I came here I'm enjoying so much & I love my hair style. Everyone should come to see JACKY! She is super sweet! She takes her time & taking care of u ! I Love JACKY! read more

Jacky was awesome! I purchased her groupon for wash, cut and color (highlights) and I was impressed! She really worked with me on what I wanted to do with my hair. It's been over 10 years since I've gotten any color on my hair so she really helped me with what color I should get. I was looking for a balayage highlights look and she ended up doing subtle brownish highlights. My hair is really dark brown/black. At first I was afraid the color wouldn't come out since I didn't want anything too light but the color was perfect! She took her time with my hair and did the balayage look I wanted. She also put a glaze on my hair. I also appreciated how she uses cruelty free products. She was very friendly and it was nice chatting with her as my hair was in foil. I definitely recommend Jacky - she's super sweet and really listens to what you want and really works with you on achieving your look. read more

I first met Kayla (one of the stylists/owners) while she was working at another salon. She decided to start her own business and without hesitation I followed her to her new location. Kayla is awesome! She's personable, loves what she does and is a talented and passionate stylist. I can honestly say I've never been happier with a stylist. The last location she worked at had a really weird vibe, as many salons do, and I never felt comfortable there. I loved Kayla as a stylist so I stayed with it. I'm so happy for her and her new location. Kayla and her business partner did an excellent job decorating the new space which is conveniently located right off 30th in North Park. You can stop by Cafe Calabria on the way in and get some of the best coffee in town, it's right next door. If you don't have time for Cafe Calabria, no worries because Kayla keeps a well stocked salon with coffee and other refreshments for her guests. I like that it's just Kayla and another stylist. It makes getting a cut so much more chill and relaxing. When you're getting your hair done by Kayla, you feel like a friend, not a client. I highly recommend Totem Salon! read more

Love love love Kayla! She's extremely talented and keeps up with the latest techniques and styles. She's also very friendly so its always a pleasure to chat while she works. The salon is adorable and cozy....you dont have to worry about noise and trying to have a conversation over 10 other people. I highly recommend this salon! read more

I have been going to Jacky for the last year and a half and she is simply wonderful. I recently decided to cut my long wavy hair to a very short bob and Jacky nailed it! She is professional, sweet and ALWAYS delivers a great haircut. read more

Great stylist! I originally went to Jackie when I first moved to San Diego used a groupon. I have very long very thick hair, and have been going to her ever since. She's quick and does an amazing job. She's a genuinely nice person, easy to talk to. Cutting hair comes natural to her, which is why I have been coming back. read more

This review is long over due. Jacky has been coloring and cutting my hair for over a year and a half. She's attentive and does a wonderful job with my curly hair. I wanted something adventurous and she made my under-cut wishes come true. I wanted a summer look and she gave me beautiful caramel balayage locks. My curly hair is styled to perfection and I get so many complements on it. The studio space has free parking which is a plus in North Park! Jacky's prices are reasonable and scheduling is a cinch. read more

Jacky is so sweet and really nice! Really listened to my concerns and fears about getting bangs but I absolutely love them and got exactly what I wanted from showing her picture examples and sharing my thoughts. I like that its a very intimate setting (only you and Jacky during an appointment) so you have her undivided attention. It was a lot of fun and I have gotten a lot of compliments on my hair since getting my cut! Will definitely be back again. read more

I came to get a haircut a while ago and loved it. I am very picky with my hair but after looking up all the reviews I figured Id try it. I happen to find a special on Groupon for a hair cut, wash and hairstyles. My layers looked great and I felt like I was in great hands! Thank you!!!! read more

Jacky was wonderful! Not only is she talented, but incredibly sweet and personable. I haven't had a haircut in almost two years, so you can imagine how long my hair was going in. I went from hair almost down to my butt, to above my shoulders- it was a drastic (and scary to think about!) change but Jacky executed my haircut wonderfully. I love it and have been getting compliments not only from friends and family who knew my hair before, but from strangers too! read more

Jacky does a great job! 5 stars. Her work space is clean, nice and has easy parking (in back). Would highly recommend her.

Jacky gave me a great cut, she is very sweet....FYI cell service in her shop is non-existent so she might not get back to you imediately

Jacky was such an incredible hair stylist. I have yet to meet a stylist that was so patient, yet passionate about what she does quite like her. She did what I asked, but then added her own twist, which I really appreciate because she is the professional! I love my color and I love how she cut my hair. She did it while it was wet, but then added finishing touches while it was dry and styled. The best part is that my hair is curly and she knew how to cut curly hair for it to be styled by me at home. She knew what she was doing and she was so calm and relaxed, which made me feel confident about her work. I can't wait to go back to her. I highly recommend her. I'm so happy I found my San Diego stylist! It only took me 4 months! Thanks again Jacky! read more

SO frustrating! I bought a Groupon, she let me down once. I gave her a second try before I ask for a refund and it just confirmed that this business owner is the WORST ever when it comes to costumer service. She confirmed an appt at 1:30pm, I showed up a little earlier and needed the code to get in. She never replied nor picked up the phone. Someone else let me in. I waited in the lobby for 35 min!!!! She didn't even bother to come out and check on me. I went to her suite and she was there, just chilling. She calmly said sorry, I didn't put you on my calendar- we have to reschedule. I showed the text messages, told her that I've been waiting for 40min now... she just said, sorry. I asked her about is very poor communication... she replied, I don't have reception. Really, Jackie? This is not how businesses run. Shame! read more

Let me start by saying I came to Kayla with brass penny colored, over processed hair! She took 1 look at it and knew exactly what to do. I wanted a natural light blond color, which she nailed first time around. I couldn't have been more relieved, finally a hairdresser that knows how to master blond!!! I also wanted to do something different as far as cut goes and try bangs for the first time and left it in her hands, I couldn't have been happier with the result! She is a master of her craft and as sweet and personable as she is talented. I just moved to north county and wouldn't consider changing hairdressers for anything, totally worth the commute. After all... You do wear your hair everyday, you might as well love it :) read more

Totem Salon - Kayla made over my hair from a terrible penny colored blond to a fun light natural blond color with fun bangs, I'll be back!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Jackie is awesome! She's really nice! The location was pretty easy to find, and has a parking garage. The studio itself is pretty small. it can fit one guest. the haircut was super duper cute!! i loved it. She does take her time cutting your hair. First she washes your hair, combs it, then cuts it. the shampoo and conditioner she uses is freaking awesome! it smelled like bubblegum and left my hair super soft. after the cut, she blow drys it and leaves it all pretty. I really had a great experience from this. I used the groupon for like $30 instead of her normal price which is $60 i think. Anyways, completely satisfied. read more

I went to chop off my hair to a slight A-line Bob with some highlights. Jackie was sooo nice and gentle. She really took her time and listened to what I wanted and got it right! She was so sweet and took interest in me the whole time. It was a great experience. Will go back now that I've found her and she's close to home. I've been getting so many compliments on my hair! read more

I can't say enough kind things about Jacky! She gave me an amazing haircut, probably one of my favorites I've ever gotten. She really listened to what I wanted and did such a wonderful job. Loved all of the products she used on my hair! Such a great experience. She's one talented woman! I will definitely be back. read more

I saw Jacky today for a highlight and cut and she did and amazing job!! I love my hair, she was able to blend my roots into my existing highlighted hair and make my grey hairs that are growing in blend in seamlessly. My hair is a perfect blonde color, not ashy, not flat but a nice natural looking dimensional blond color. She updated my haircut but giving me some more layers and giving me more bounce to my natural waves. Considering my natural hair is dark brown, you would never know it by looking at my hair now. I will be sticking with Jacky from now on. She is a great person and an amazing hair artist. You won't regret seeing her. read more

I got my hair cut and highlights done here and it turned out ok. However it didn't turn out to the color I wanted. I texted Jacky a few times and she wasn't every responsive. We first scheduled an appointment but no show because she called in sick. Then we finally got the time where she wanted. I followed up and check if we can do another highlight to make my hair color lighter, however, she never replied back. read more

Worst customer service skills. The salon is selling Groupon for a MENS cut. Took three times to get a hold of someone to just make an appointment, then Jackie texts that she's book thru the year already...... don't sell groupons to new customers if you can't accommodate them. Nobody has time for this read more

I went to see Jacky for the first time yesterday after a friend of mine recommended her... she was amazing! She really listened to what I wanted, and delivered a great haircut. I left feeling like my hair looked healthy, shiny, and expertly cut. I finally found a San Diego stylist after a year of searching! Also, her prices are more than reasonable. No excuse not to get regular haircuts now!!! read more

Wonderful salon! Jacky was super sweet and really listened to what I wanted. I've been getting tons of compliemtns on my hair ever since. Cute salon space too. Overall very happy with the whole experience. read more

Theresa was great- kind and efficient! First time a stylist has ever asked me if I wanted to go shorter on my bangs so my style would last longer, usually I have to ask. Love her foresight and my haircut! read more

I just had my second haircut with Jacky at her new location and I am so happy with it! The decor inside the studio is super cute and really suits her style. She understood exactly what I needed (more layers/less maintenance) and gave me a great cut and style. The products they use smell great and made my hair super shiny and soft. Can't wait to go back for cut & color next time! read more
