    I do NOT recommend getting a haircut from Sella B. at the Grossmont La Mesa Ulta Beauty salon. I came in asking for simple long layers, and I left with horribly choppy layers that will now take the rest of the year to grow out. I got this haircut on March 16th, and I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding on May 16th -- my hair still looks awful. Honestly, I had a bad feeling from the beginning of the appointment. While washing my hair, Sella stared at my face and randomly asked, "Do you wax or thread your eyebrows?" I already knew my eyebrows needed shaping and had an appointment scheduled elsewhere later that week because I was attending a bachelorette trip. It felt unnecessary and rude. She also asked what shampoo and conditioner I use. I told her Bumble & Bumble and Redken All Soft. She immediately responded with, "Do NOT use Redken All Soft." Then, at the very end of the appointment, she reminded me again: "Remember, no more Redken All Soft." Like... lady, I've been using Redken for 10 years at this point. I think I'll continue using whatever shampoo I want, thanks. I literally did not ask for your opinion. I also repeatedly explained that I part my hair on the side and that I previously had a bad haircut that ended up lopsided because stylists ignored my side part. She laughed and said she had been doing hair since she was a teenager and "wasn't going to make it lopsided." Unfortunately, that confidence did not match the result. During the haircut, I could literally feel that something was going wrong. She kept cutting more and more layers, and I started getting nervous. I again mentioned my side part multiple times, but it felt like I was completely ignored. To be fair, I will say this: if you go to this salon, be EXTREMELY specific about what you want and bring photos. I came in with my hair up in a messy bun and simply said "long layers," which clearly was not enough guidance for this stylist. At the end of the appointment, I was visibly unhappy. I actually took the comb from her myself and parted my hair the way I normally wear it. Her response was, "You like your hair flat like that?" Then, after I had already told her multiple times that I wear a side part, she suggested that I should just part my hair in the middle instead. Like... what? I obviously part my hair on the side because that's how I LIKE my hair. Who even says that to a client after giving them a bad haircut? Meanwhile, she had already started cleaning up her station while I was trying to fix my own hair in the mirror. We were also the only people in the salon at the time -- no other stylists, no manager around. I still paid and tipped before leaving. Later, I filed a complaint with Ulta and spoke to the salon manager. The manager was kind and asked me to come back so she could try to fix it. Realistically, the only way to "fix" this haircut would be to add back the hair that was cut off, but she did try her best to blend the choppy layers. I appreciated her kindness, and she even comforted me while I cried in her chair. I also received a full refund. The manager handled the situation professionally. The next day, I actually went to a salon in Oceanside to get my hair balayaged/colored, and even that stylist agreed that the haircut looked bad. Honestly, everyone in my life who has seen my hair agrees that this haircut was poorly done. What makes this even more disappointing is that I usually go to the Mission Valley Ulta salon and have had good experiences there. I was excited to try the new Grossmont La Mesa location to save myself an extra 10-minute commute. Biggest mistake of 2026. Now I'm stuck growing out a terrible haircut for the rest of the year. Stay away from this place for haircuts, and do not book with Sella B. unless you are extremely specific, bring photos, and are prepared to advocate for yourself throughout the appointment.

    i went to Ulta Salon in la mesa Meia did such a good job,she knows what's she's doing I did Keratin treatment, the environment was amazing. Their manager Reem she's such a kind person. She helps them. She's always there. If they need anything and I loved it there, I would recommend it.

    New hair color!

    Let me first start out with I was originally a patient of Dr. Pousti. I cannot believe Dr. Pousti…read moresold his clientelle to Dr. Chou. I'm embarrassed to say I had 5 procedures with Dr. Chou in a matter of 1 yr 1/2 time span and with every procedure there was complications after. It seems like he was initially trying to help but I honestly don't think he's capable of good results. In March of 2022 my 1st surgery with Dr. Chou I developed a capsular contracture within a month. June of 2022 under local did a steroid shot and scrapped scar tissue, this did nothing. Felt like my boob went even higher after that. 2nd surgery was November 2022 changed out right breast implant only, did steroid shot along with a mesh fish skin internal bra and stem cell injection. My boob bottomed out almost immediately afterward. So I went from one boob normal and the other boob really high to super low. I tried to disguise my unevenness for over a year. I thought my body was rejecting the implant so I chose to explant. April 2023 was my explant with capsulectomy. He could not do a lift at the time because my skin was so thin, creapy and I was left with big creases in my flat chest (could fit three fingers inside crease of my boob) I was completely devastated. In July 2023 my 4th surgery I had a lift with fat transfer and I specifically said if I do lipo I want to do the J Plasma type lipo. I don't find out until a week later they he did regular lipo because he said my skin was tighting that I didn't need it. It was very disturbing that a Dr. made a decision with out my consent while I was under. He could have called my husband but didn't. He did end up reimbursing me back for the J Plasma upgrade. After this surgery my breasts were still deformed and asymmetric. None of the fat from the fat transfer stayed. I had what felt like a stone of scar tissue on right boob which was a sermona. During this time these problems really affected my self confidence. For 2 years it was not a good outcome and felt like I was still masking the problem. During the time from my very 1st surgery to my last with Dr Chou I went in prob over 80 times to get ultrasound treatments on boob and I have to say the only thing good about this office is that the girls are nice. I decided not to give up on myself and explore other doctors after all the procedures with Dr. Chou. I didn't want one doctors failure to discourage me. I got another fat transfer in April 2024 with a new Doctor and now my boobs are even with no problems. Turns out I still had my capsules in my boobs which I thought they were taken out with my April 2023 explant ( I requested a few times after explant to see pictures and never recieved) and also had a detached pec muscle. My new dr said that as soon as he took capsules out my boobs released and dead fat from my previous fat transfer was stuck to the capsules along with a bunch of blue sutchers (not dissolvable) left inside of me. I do not recommend Dr. Chou.

    I saw Dr. Chao for an explant & lift about 6 months ago and it had to have been one of the best…read moredecisions of my life. A little backstory - I had breast implants for about 12 years and truthfully after year 5 or so I started to feel they didn't look good, had gotten bigger, were not lifted anymore and just didn't suit my small frame. I went back to my original plastic surgeon about 2 years ago and told him I hated my breasts and was considering just removing them. He convinced me that all I needed was a lift and we could put a new implant in but that it wouldn't look good if I removed the implant entirely. So of course, I was convinced and went through with the surgery hoping and praying I'd love my new (smaller) breasts. Fast forward a few months, my breasts looked the EXACT same. They didn't look any smaller, the lift had barely done much and I just internally felt so defeated and depressed about it. I kept trying to convince myself this is just the body I have to deal with now but ultimately I was so unhappy. About 7 months ago, I researched new surgeons and found Dr. Chao. Upon meeting with him he actually LISTENED to what I had been through & what I actually wanted. He asked me to show him images of what I physically wanted my breasts to look like and that was that of a small B cup. He told me he completely understood and he WOULD get me to look exactly like my inspo photos. I felt so relieved and excited. He ended up removing the implants, capsule & did a lift. Immediately coming out of the surgery I remember waking up, looking down and terrified that it would look the same. When I looked down this time although swollen post surgery, I could have jumped with joy because they were significantly smaller. I couldn't believe it. Fast forward 6 months I now have the EXACT breasts I wanted - a small B cup. The breasts are actually lifted this time and look BETTER than when I had implants although the previous surgeon told me they would never look good. Long story short - I am so grateful for Dr. Chao who actually LISTENED to me and gave me exactly what I wanted. I've truly never been happier in my skin.

    Love the staff at SD Body Contouring!…read more I've been going here for years... laser hair removal, fillers, Botox (love Stephanie) and now doing the Semaglutide "skinny shot"... I'm menopausal, eat good, no junk or soda, and weight train 2-3 times per week. I was unable to get off the stubborn extra pounds. I have lost 22lbs and gone from a size 10 pushing 12 back to a very loose 8. Feeling great! Thank you to the great ladies in the front office... so friendly and knowledgeable.

    I've been going here for years, but unfortunately things have become very disorganized recently…read more A few months ago they changed their appointment system, and my appointment was apparently lost in the transition. I even received a text confirming the appointment, but when I arrived I was told I didn't actually have one because it hadn't been entered into the "correct" system. Today was even more confusing. I went for my next appointment and ended up being bounced between their old location and their new one with no guidance whatsoever. I thought the sign at the old location says the new location will open on March 19, which led me to believe they were still operating out of the old space. However, when I arrived the doors were locked. Apparently the new location was open as of January 19, but there was no clear communication or signage explaining where to go or what was actually happening when I went to the new location either. This was especially frustrating because I made my appointment around or shortly after the time they had moved and no one thought to tell me that I would need to go to a new location. (Maybe I'm expecting too much to be proactively informed that the office has moved after I've been going to the same office for eight years or so.) It's frustrating because this used to be a reliable place, but right now the lack of organization and communication makes it very difficult just to figure out where you're supposed to be.

I had also been getting laser treatments elsewhere for a small tattoo on my wrist for years with little to no results. After just a couple of sessions with Dr. Levine, both my eyebrow tattoo and wrist tattoo are nearly completely gone -- something I honestly never thought would happen! She is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and caring, and her staff is just as pleasant and professional. I may go back for one final touch-up, but even now, the results are so amazing that I could easily live with them as they are. I've also seen her for Botox, and I'm considering doing laser facial treatments next because I trust her expertise completely. I'm beyond grateful I found Dr. Levine -- she truly changed how I feel about myself. If you've been struggling with unwanted tattoos or are nervous about laser treatments, don't hesitate to see her. She's the best!

    I went to Barb to get my eyebrows touched up. I had them done years ago and before I knew Barb…read more She did a terrific job! I am very pleased! Permanent eyebrows can really mess up someone if they aren't done correctly. I am sure you have seen women walking around with a bad eyebrow job. Barb takes her time and doesn't rush the job. She is definitely a perfectionist and an artist. She draws on what you are going to look like so you have a good idea about the results. I have referred friends and they are always happy with the results. If I wanted any other permanent make up done, I will not see anyone else but Barb. Barb has a medical background so everything is spotless. When you book an appointment she tells you about which meds you need to not take before the procedure. This my second trip to Barb's and I know that it won't be the last. Thanks, Barb for another satisfied client! M~

I met a woman who had permanent lipstick and eyeliner and the look was soft and natural. She referred me to Barbara at Permanent Cosmetic Artistry and it was a great find! I had permanent lip color done and I look fresh and natural. I chose a nice pink color to match my skin. I can still wear lipstick over it to change the shade of lipstick if I want a change. I trusted Barbara and found her to be safe, professional and the setting was as clean as an Operating Room. It helped that I had seen her product on another woman who was fair skinned. Pricing is slightly higher than some of the nail places and hair salons that I researched but the safety and talent are worth it when it comes to something I look at everyday. I love getting up and seeing color in my lips versus looking pale. Best thing I have done for myself and it makes getting ready fast and easy. Update 7/10. When I do sports I do not have lipstick all over my water bottles. I am saving money on lipstick and I figure that over the next few years the savings will pay for the cost of the procedure. Also, I forgot to mention that she numbed me so well so that I experienced no discomfort. She is amazing and talented. I love looking bright 24/7.

    Just had a back facial with Stossi and am over the moon. What an amazing and relaxing experience…read more Stossi was so warm, welcoming, and immediately made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. She took the time to explain everything she was doing, and you could tell every step was thoughtful and intentional. I left feeling like I had just walked out of a luxury spa...completely relaxed, refreshed, and honestly a little "spa drunk" in the best way.

You could really feel the care she puts into her work. My skin already feels amazing, and I'm already looking forward to my next session with Stossi! If you're considering booking with her, do yourself a favor and make the appointment. It was one of the best self-care experiences I've had in a long time.

It's a small shop where you get personalized advice from very knowledgeable sales staff. Prices were a bit high but the upside is you get to try them before you buy.

Lots of options, lots of loyal neighborhood folks stopping by which tells you a lot about a small business community. Parking is a challenge in this area.
