I am reviewing Amber who is a talented hairdresser. I am very satisfied with the haircut she gave me. My curly hair looks better than ever! Also, I love the salon in general. read more

The esthetician, Iris, is amazing!! Before I starting seeing Iris for all my waxing needs, I had issues with ingrown hairs. I'm not sure if it was the type of wax or how each esthetician was waxing before, but since I've been seeing Iris, I no longer have any problems with ingrown hairs! Iris uses hard-wax, which isn't as discomforting as soft wax. She does occasionally want to touch up with soft-wax at the end, which doesn't hurt when all the hair is gone! :) The results even last longer! I now see Iris for my brazilian, legs, brow wax/tint, and soon to go in for a facial! GO SEE IRIS AT YOUNG ATTITUDES!! read more

Had My first hair cut with YA last week and sweet ! they had a first time coupon on their website :) My review on this place : Time : I didn't have to wait much for my hairstylist , I showed up on my appointment time , had a sip of water and was promptly shown to my seat Service : love the massage start before the hair wash / cut thingy. kinda make me wish its a full massage then the hair cut . been stressed out lately so the shoulder massage was awesome Hairstylist : I am not good with names but I think it was Maggie ( Or was it Manny ? ) who gave me a great cut freshen me up pronto. As I said, stressed out lately , wasn't in the mood to chatty chat maybe she sense it but I was grateful to just sit back and relax. My overgrown messy bob was promptly put into place. Ambience : some earlier reviews did say this place looks expensive , but don't let this scare you ! they are reasonable especially with the www coupon its good service at good price. No pressure in buying the products ( AVEDA ) at all . My Hairstylist merely ask if I need any products . read more

I have been seeing Anne Marie for a few years now. She is an amazing stylist and has a wide knowledge in hair products and what colors would look great with your skin tone. She is an artist and I would recommend her to anyone. She not only cuts my hair she also cuts my daughters hair. I always walk out feeling like a super star. Go see Anne Marie! She is the best of the best! read more

The trick to this place is to get an appointment with one of their experienced stylists. It is completely worth the extra $10-20 to book with an experienced stylist-- both times I did, I loved my haircuts, and the service was top-notch (to the point where I look forward to getting my hair cut). When I tried to save a few dollars and book with one of their less experienced stylists, I was severely unimpressed with both the haircut and the service. The inexperienced stylist didn't correctly attach the diffuser to the blow-dryer, so I had the diffuser dropped onto my head seven times. I was too mortified to say anything at the time, and I hurried out of there. In hindsight, it's pretty funny, but not something I want to have happen every time I get my hair trimmed. Moral of the story: pay the extra cash to book an experienced stylist. read more

Today, I met Michael Soberanes at Young Attitudes, he is a professional, a very great hair stylist. He is an educator, very friendly and easy to be around, takes his time to get to know you and did a great style for me. I have already made an appointment for a future cut. Thank you Michael, you did a great job :) Jennifer read more

I used to go to this salon before I followed Natalie to her own salon, Minx. Overall, the salon was ok. The front desk staff was always nice, though I was never offered water or tea or anything. The salon always appeared to be busy and for the most part, tidy. I always enjoyed seeing Natalie there, but I sometimes found there was too much "chit chat" among the stylists. I realize it's natural to gossip in a salon... that part of the fun, but I don't need to overhear the stylist at the shampoo sink two seats down telling her client how so and so did this and how she's so hungover and then have a receptionist pop out from behind a curtain and call out how she's going out tonight and who wants to go with her because it's going to off the hook or fierce or whatever it is the kids these days say. ;-) Overall, the salon is nice, but not very relaxing. And the shampoo area is too close to the break room/mixing room and the bathroom. Natalie was the only stylist I ever went to, so I can't speak to anyone else's talent. As I said, I followed her when she left. But it's a decent mid-range salon for the area. The parking sucks, though. FYI. read more

I got my haircut with Tarah. I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted, but she listened my ideas and gave some helpful input and I really liked the results. She was on time and very reasonably priced. Also, she trims the bangs (takes about 5 minutes) for free between haircuts. The salon itself was very nice, as well. I was a little skeptical about going to a salon in a strip-mall type setting, but, I was very pleasantly surprised! Plus, the location is awesome: perfect for students or staff/faculty at UCSD and the surrounding areas. Appointments are really easy to get, too!! Highly recommended. Complementary beverages would have gotten it 5 stars ;) read more

I've been shaving and plucking my underarms for many years and I (finally) got fed up with it. I decided that today will be the day I experience a wax job for my underarms. I researched (yelped) the nearest and well reviewed day spas/salons. The next morning I made the next available appointment (12:30pm) and was told that Iris will be taking care of me. I went in and maybe waited for about 5 minutes. About 15 minutes of the underarm wax job ... wam bam thank you ma'am. I was out of there by 12:50pm. Iris was wonderful and pleasant to talk with. The 15 minutes that I was with her, was great! The wax job itself? Well, it was quick and I'm hairless ... I'm happy. I am definitely coming back here. Well worth the money ($20.) Maybe someday I'll get adventurous and wax other parts of my body too. read more

Pros: Clean, friendly, you can always get an appt, good products Cons: very inexperienced girls working there. Specifically, I saw a girl who was "more expensive because she is more experienced" but couldn't change my hair color. After making an appt to change my red hair back to blonde (yes, I told them this over the phone) I arrived to have her tell me that there was no way we could get it done that day. She told me my hair was too damaged and would need a correction ($100/hr, no guarantee on how long that would take.) I ended up having her touch up my roots with more red since I needed SOMETHING done and left. I ended up going to Lindsey at Salon Texture who scoffed at YA's analysis and fixed my hair completely. She told me the condition of my hair wasn't bad, and it feels GREAT now, despite YA's advice that it would all break if she added highlights. Overall, it's an alright salon if you need something simple done. The price is decent and the staff is all very friendly. I just think overall the girls don't have as much experience. It seems to be a trend with Aveda salons, unfortunately. read more

I'll be honest here: it's not cheap, but I got an amazing customer experience and haircut here. Carly took care of me and immediately assessed what kind of hair I had, and informed me of the best way to wash it and what kind of products to use to keep it healthy. I really appreciated the advice since I've always been a little lost in the hair department. I felt like I could just let her go on autopilot with a few basic instructions and my hair came out looking great! Also, no charge bang touch-ups between haircuts! Awesome. Also props to the girls up front for being very sweet and cheerful. I'll be back next time I need a shearing. read more

Terrible. Awful. Rude. Disgusting. I gave them one too many chances - don't make the same mistake. One visit the receptionist never even showed up to unlock the front door for my morning appointment. Stylists and I were waiting outside and by the time she arrived I missed my appointment. I showed up another day for my rescheduled visit (that she'd written on a card and said she put in the system), and they didn't have me down. I went another time and the bathroom was really gross, and then my stylist said didn't have her coffee that morning and was extremely rude the entire time. Not sure how this place stays in business. I've always gone to Aveda salons, but this one I will make sure to avoid from now on. Fool me three times... read more

I've been here twice for a facial. Overall good experiences. Staff is nice and friendly. Both times they started my facial late, which I feel is unprofessional. The facial itself was cleansing. Pros: the facial is moderately priced ($75). The esthetician pays close attention and gives great massages when the mask is setting in. Parking is accessible and they usually can give me same day or next day appointments. Edit: Lowered one star because this last time I was here, I was swindled out of 15 min. from my facial. When it's only one hour, and I am paying such high prices, I expect the full hour, not 45 minutes. Cons: Started late. The facial was painful! It is a salon (so it feels a little off getting a facial here). I also bought a clay mask from them, which I like. It costs $19, but it makes my face feel very smooth afterwards. :) read more

The staff is really friendly and I had a really nice hair dresser. . .BUT, I am really picky on hair dressers. I have super straight asian hair which shows any flaws if it has a bad cut. My layer flip out and look really choppy! I originally wallked in to buy product and noticed there was a salon in the back. The offered me a 20% off coupon, and I had just moved to the area so I thought "why not" give them a try. I had an okay cut, but good thing it was just a trim/cut. . Service - 5 stars Salon - 5 stars Hair cut - 3 stars I would try this place out, but if you have straight unforgiving hair you probably have to shop around a little bit more. read more

my hair is straight medium-thick black layered hair with dry ends as i have not had a trim in over 7 months. I shampoo and condition my hair and i always blowdry. I needed a trim/fix layers. I had "awkward" layers because i had a car accident a year ago and it chopped off a chunk of hair (down to the scalp) at the back of my head. So after a year, it grows out and it makes my volume look uneven. My hair is also side-parted so it's thicker on one side than the other. I also had bangs that were growing out and started to look awkward too. MAGGIE worked on my hair and i was her last customer on Thanksgiving Sunday. She was cheerful and still gave me some upbeat energy. She washed my hair thoroughly with shampoo and conditioner, made the rinsing clean and didn't get my face wet. She put some product in my hair to smooth it out before she took the clippers and razors to it. She started trimming the longest and lowest layers and worked her way up in small locks at a time. She was precise and made my long bangs blend into the shorter layers at the front of my face. they're still long enough to pull behind my ears, not long enough to pull up to a pony-tail. Then she asked, "How does it feel?" my head was still wet, so i didn't know what to say other than "Wet." Kind of a weird question at first but I do appreciate her asking before she went on to the drying and styling. She uses a really powerful blow dryer with one of those caps/nozzles that funnels and aims the hot air to dry each layer of hair. With one hand she holds the hair dryer and in the other she holds the cylinder brush to pull and fold inwards. That way my hair dries with a little curve at the bottom. When she was all done with the layers my hair felt so soft. So I had new layers. I think they look a little more distinct, semi-jagged, semi-elegant, and soooo soft. I was very satisfied. $40 usually, first timers it's 20% off. I don't know a lot of salons and i don't get a new style (never bleached, permed, dyed my hair before) so those of you who know lots of salons may think my ratings are higher. Products: They didn't try to sell me anything but i really liked it, i kind of wish they did tell me more about it, as i might have bought the product that had the smooth finishing before she blowdried my hair. Parking: plenty of space in the plaza parking, just go when it's not busy like lunch times. Place: hard to find, it's inside Aveda. It's clean, relaxed, spacious, smells fresh, very laid back, it's la jolla without the snobby-ness. Other workers: I saw a few other ladies working on other customers and all of them looked great. I would trust any of them to work on my hair. read more

Disclaimer: my review is based on the products only! This is my go-to place for Aveda products. Sure, there's a real Aveda store in Fashion Valley, closer to my house, but it's so hard to get in and out of if I only need one thing. All the girls in Young Attitudes are so nice and helpful. A long long time ago there was a biatch I encountered but I see she's not there anymore so my problem was solved before I had to squirt Rosemary Mint Conditioner on her ugly shoes. read more

I had booked an appointment in the morning. Due to traffic I was late by 15 mins I did call in the front desk and I informed as and when I went I exactly don't know the name but I guess it was Valerie who was to do my highlight hair cut and condition she was really really rude. Because I was wearing mask it was difficult to hear but she acted like it wasn't audible at all. And she made me untie my hair just to tell she couldn't do it that day and I have to rebook it zero star for her rudeness and she could have informed me before that she won't be able to take me as I was late by 15 mins she sent me back by writing the total amount it would cost and telling it again and again and asking is that okay. But I had good experience prior with the salon and re booked the appointment and Annmarie did great job on my hair all the 5 stars to her. She is super friendly and even if you are don't understand the hair lingo she really helps you out without making you feel miserable.. I got full highlight and haircut and conditioning for my curly hair I love the result would definitely recommend Annmarie ! read more

Best facials! I love going here and getting the 90 minute facial from Bri. It's always very relaxing and my skin feels great after. They only offer facials during certain days of the week so call ahead. read more

I went here a few months ago for my first post-COVID haircut. I saw Olivia, who was super sweet and lovely. I enjoyed my time in her chair, but unfortunately I ended up with a haircut that was completely different from pictures I'd shown her and what we'd discussed. It was significantly shorter and also had almost no layers/definition. I have very thick hair that doesn't respond well to that kind of cut--turns into a sad mushroom bob. Part of the problem was that my stylist wasn't really accounting for my hair texture, and she also maybe had her own vision for the cut that differed from mine. I'd say, if it's your first time here, I'd be extremely explicit about what you're looking for--including what works for your hair texture--and stick to it. read more

I went to this salon recently after my previous stylist BUTCHERED an attempt to dye my hair plum-maroon, just ending up near black and blotchy. I decided I wanted to go back to my natural strawberry-blonde color and thought the task would be impossible. I chose Aveda having used their products before and knowing that they were very gentle and hopefully wouldn't damage my hair any more than it already was. Not knowing any stylists, I took the next available appointment and found Robert. HE IS A MIRACLE WORKER! Instead of trying to rush the process and just throw bleach on my hair, he labored over 5 marathon-length appointments to slowly integrate light back in to my hair and the end result was spot on what I wanted. He is a true professional and knows color theory perfectly. Every appointment was an enjoyable time and now my boyfriend goes to him as well and loves his work. Overall, the prices are reasonable for a professional salon. If you have high maintenance hair, it is well worth knowing it is in good hands! read more

I went to Young Attitudes yesterday to get my hair done (haircut + styling) for my maternity photo session. Making an appointment the day before was easy. Cara was my stylist and she was very nice and did a great job. I definitely recommend her not just for her skills but also for her personality. I used a $20 coupon that I downloaded from their website and it was great savings! I'll be coming back! read more

I went to this place as the reviews are quite positive, plus there is a 20 dollar off coupon in its website. Great receptionist, very warm hearted, polite and caring. The girl who did my hair is excellent. She is very diligent, focus on the cut, no sales activity involved, pretty quite--I like that, and no non-sense talking at all. The rosemary scent shampoo is amazing, nice smell and very fresh, recommend to try. Overall, great experience and definitely I will go there next time. read more

Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere they have created at this salon and day spa! Everyone seems to be happy and smiling. Upon entering you are greeted by name, offered a beverage!

Iris is awesome!! I have been going to Iris for "Manscaping" for a while now. I never used to touch my eyebrows and was content with my unibrow until my fiance talked me into going to visit Iris. She is very good at what she does, she pays great attention to detail and has a wonderful personality to boost. The thing that sold me on her work was that my eyebrows look masculine when she does them. I'm a beer drinking, cigar smoking, football watching guy that likes guns and yes, I get my eyebrows done. I figure if you're gonna get manscaped, get it done right, go to Iris. read more

Overall, I had an okay experience at Young Attitudes and will likely return. Pros: --I liked my haircut (from Megan). --The stylist was easy to communicate with, and she didn't push any products on me. --The guy at front desk was polite and friendly. --I was offered beverage while I waited (although it never came). --The wait was short after I arrived at my appointment time. --20% off coupons are available for first time clients. The prices vary depending on the experience level of the stylist. Haircuts for women start at $40. Cons: --I had my appointment scheduled at the same time as my friend. Young Attitudes called to cancel my friend's appointment 30 min beforehand with some nonsense excuse. When my friend called back and talked to a different employee, he/she gave her an entirely different explanation for the last minute cancellation. In the end, my friend couldn't get the stylist that she had originally booked and she had to wait about 45 min past her appointment time. I was nearly done with my haircut by the time she got started. (Minus one star for the hassle.) --Waiting area is a little cramped. --Salon was stuffy (hot). read more

This has become my new favorite spot; I refuse to go anywhere else. I always ask for Kourtney since she has been so great since day 1. She always listens to what I want and helps me try new styles if I'm interested. Professional and kind, I would definitely recommend her for both men and women. Always great hair cuts! Thank you Kourtney and the Young Attitudes team. read more

I have been coming to Young Attitudes for many years. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and I am always happy with my haircuts and color. I bring my kids here too. The only one in my family who doesn't come here is my husband, that's because he's bald! Thank you Young Attitudes!! read more

Just had my first post Covid hair cut by Keri. She did a fantastic job! I've been using the same pic (from when I was waaayyy younger) to show to hairdressers. This cut was absolutely the best yet. Thanks so much! read more

Although she is no longer in San Diego and at Young Attitudes, Alison L. is the best brow babe in the land. I miss you! No one has touched your brilliance since you've gone. read more

Maggie Gonzalez cut my hair last week and she did an amazing job ! I have fine hair so it is very difficult to get it to look like it has volume. I told Maggie I wanted layers in my hair and she did exactly what I asked for. I got many compliments. Thanks Maggie ! read more

Marilyn Castaneda has been doing my hair for years, she amazing and always takes special care to the detail of my hair. Whether it's high lights, dying, or a simple cut. The salon staff is always so nice, and the salon is always clean. I love that they use natural products, this is a great place to go of your looking for a new salon! Pick Marilyn if she has an opening :) read more

I don't know what it is about San Diego, but I just cannot seem to get a good haircut anywhere. That's when I decided to research some yelp reviews and try out Young Attitudes. Michelle was my stylist... she did a great job. The cut was quick and she did exactly what I asked. It was by far the best haircut I've ever gotten in SD (like the haircuts I'm used to getting in TX). I do think the salon is a little over-priced, but I'll definitely go back. read more

I went in for the first time to get a cut and color my hair darker. I showed her pictures of how I liked my hair and she knew exactly what to do...service was ok, price was a bit steep (but you get 20% discount if you mention you're a first timer), but I LOVE my haircut and color!!! She listened to what I wanted, except she trimmed a little more than I wanted but I will defiantly come back :) read more

I've been trekking out to PB to have my hair cut since moving here and haven't really found anyone worth the gas money or the cost of the haircut. I am SO happy I found Jeremy. He did a fabulous job with my often freaky hair. I highly recommend him. The salon itself could use a little update, but its nice enough and has a wide variety of all the Aveda products. read more

Been coming here for 2 years & never had a bad haircut or an amazing one- which says a lot considering I've usually let the hair stylists go freestyle on my hair. Though the haircuts are average- I LOVE aveda hair products- the scent is just ::: toss your head back onto a hammock& let the tropical winds slowlly lull you into a nap::: relaxing. LOVE LOVE LOVE. ALSOOo, I appreciate that the hair stylists are all so detail-oriented (except this one middle-aged asian man, who i don't think works there anymore). ALSOo, I just recently got a hair trim from Carly & found out that she gives free bang trims between services. NO MORE DOG-CHEWED, LOPSIDED BANGS!!! read more

I've been to Young Attitudes three times now during the past year and a half and have finally gotten around to writing a review now. I started coming here due to its close proximity to where I live, and the prices were fairly reasonable for a salon. It's located right next to Pet People in the shopping center. The salon itself is tucked away behind the Aveda store. My first experience here was great, and I believe my cut was with Maggie. She did a great job with my layers and would recommend her. I came back for a bang trim with Carly, and she also did a fantastic job. I originally wanted Carly as my go-to stylist here, but she is extremely popular so I've decided to venture to other stylists. The past two times, I had Lacy as my hair stylist. I was a little hesitant with my first appointment with her as there are no reviews for her and I have no idea why. She listened to what I wanted to do with my hair and would give me suggestions on how short to cut my hair. Lacy sat me down first, examined my hair and asked me what I wanted to do with it. With my last visit, she did a lovely scalp massage and it was so relaxing after work! Afterwards, she took me to the back to shampoo and condition my hair before the cut. The past visit I wanted to keep my length of her, and Lacy did just that. She took off about an inch and a half of hair and reshaped my layers. She did a fantastic job and I will definitely keep coming back to her. I have a lot of hair, and Lacy always takes her time touching up the layers and making sure that it's even. If you stick with the same stylist, I believe you get free bang trims in-between hair cuts, which is great if your bangs grow out quickly like mine. For longer hair, my cut costed $50, and I tipped $10. A bit on the expensive side, bu read more

Can't believe how terrible is their front desk staff dealing. Been a regular customer since 2005 or so .. but I guess the quality of customer service have totally degraded over years! read more
