Kim Luna is truly one of a kind. She has cut both of my kids' hair over the years, and she's been…read moreworking with my youngest since 2021. My youngest is on the spectrum and was nonverbal for a period of time, and haircuts have always been a very difficult and emotional experience for him. From day one, Kim has shown an incredible level of patience, kindness, and genuine care. She never rushed, never forced anything, and always met my child where he was at. That kind of understanding is rare--and it made all the difference for our family. Because of her consistency and compassion, she has built a strong level of trust with my son over time. On his most recent haircut on April 5, 2026, he didn't try to jump off, fight the haircut, or kick--something that used to be a real challenge. That progress meant everything to us, and it's a direct reflection of the safe and supportive environment Kim has created over the years. I've followed Ms. Kim from location to location because it's nearly impossible to find someone with her level of skill and heart. She is currently available at the Little Locks locations in Bonita, La Jolla, and Solana Beach, which just makes her that much more irreplaceable and accessible to families across the area. I've also recommended her to other parents of children with special needs, as well as my regional center coordinators, because she truly is a special human being who deserves to be recognized. If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also deeply compassionate and understanding, Kim Luna is the person you want. We are beyond grateful for her.

Our stylist Kim was very low-key to the point where we felt un celebrated. Isn't the first haircut first of many? And you want future business? We were disappointed with being treated so much like we weren't a big deal and nothing special from the stylist's attitude. The haircut was not that great.

I love bookstores and enjoyed coming here!…read more They have a good selection of books and there's also gifts and office supplies too. Lots of other shops too around here. I'd definitely come back when in La Jolla.

Rough one, because I've had good times here and bad. I enjoy their large selection of stationary,…read moreit really is the only store in San Diego with this sort of selection. There are also lots of books to choose from for how small the store is. They also have a wide variety of artsy gifts. But here's to the bad. However recently I went in to browse the selection of Hobonichis, since they're the only store in the city to have them. For some reason, instead of stocking them on the international release day (like I was originally told), they decided to stock them on September 4th. Disgruntled, but my fiancee promised to come back. So, she did! Came back on September 4th right when they opened, and wouldn't you know they were NOT in stock. In fact, they didn't even have them, they were stuck in customs. My fiancee was also with multiple other people who had been told the same things, all showing up for their Hobonichi release, only to be disappointed. So, here's the issue. Lying to customers about having a product, when you DONT is absolutely wild. Assuring customers it will be in stock on a specific day, then not telling your customers that it can't, is so beyond unprofessional. To me, it felt like a game to Warwicks in an attempt to drum up hype for these highly sought after brand and items. Overall I'm really going to need Warwicks to redeem themselves on this one.

I love Squishmallow so when I saw Squishable, I had to walk right in to see what soft and fluffy plushies that they have in stock. At first, I thought they sold Squishmallow. They look very similar, but actually they are not the same. Two different brands. Their designs are different. Their plushies are indeed cute and soft. However, I didn't see any to my liking for me to buy one. They have lots of different selections. They also have themed plushies. They had a few baskets that contained plushies on sale... buy 1 get 1 50% off. The prices were a tad higher IMHO. If I saw a really cute one or two, I probably would have still bought them, but none resonated with me unfortunately. The lady working here was very friendly and helpful. I asked her if they had any frogs. She showed me a few. There was one that looked okay, but it didn't match the frog that my eldest daughter currently has. I wanted to buy her a smaller version of it. Oh well... the search continues. If you're into cute and soft plushies, Squishable may have what you're looking for. Come on by and check them out!

We have many of these characters hanging around our home from the gaming room to bedrooms and hallways. Love the set up, mainly all in what looks like ikea Kallax cubbies which make it easy to find what you want. Very well organized and set up Similar to squidhmallows but better I'd say as it has a larger selection and characters that appeal to boys and not just girls. Each time we've been here it's been a good shopping experience from selection to the staff. Love that there's air purifiers too specially considering everything is plush inside (think allergies!) Price wise be ready to drop some bucks because these aren't cheap. But they're also well made! Super plush and soft!

They have so many cute items for gift giving... so keep that in mind when you need a traditional gift shop to explore. I was on my Stationery Store finding activity (per usual) back in early March, and I happened upon this spot. Great selection of greeting cards and pens. The artist E.

Jerks) -etc etc blah blah blah Many other stores in town appreciate business but don't leave such a horrible first impression with so many signs as you enter. Treating customers like this doesn't make them feel welcome. The kids and I quickly left. Can you imagine being one of the owners kids, and the types of dictator rules that they surely have in their life!??

Customer service is wonderful here, very gracious and respectful of personal space and privacy, yet helpful when needed.

THE LEGO STORE @ UTC LA JOLLA…read more Parking here is ONLY one hour... which is honestly one of the most outrageous things Westfield UTC has done. Parking already takes about 15 minutes because it's stressful, a lot of the structures are one-way, and it's just overall a hassle. So having only one hour feels kind of unrealistic. Just a heads up, after that first hour, it's $2 per additional hour. I'd definitely recommend going in with a plan of where you want to go so you're not rushing. My friends and I went on a Thursday evening and stopped by the LEGO Store, and it was actually such a great experience. It wasn't too busy (definitely better than weekends), and the staff were super friendly. My friend had been eyeing this pirate ship set forever, and they finally had it in stock but it was a whopping $400. They ended up getting it, and the staff even gave us a small free Easter-themed LEGO set, which was such a cute bonus. The store itself is on the smaller side, but they had a solid selection and a lot of items restocked. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're into LEGOs!
