Amber did such an awesome job on my hair! I never go to anyone else when I'm in San Diego and she always helps me make the best decisions and I always leave super happy. Definitely book her if you ever need a good haircut! read more

Beautiful salon, super friendly and efficient staff and best of all Neil saved my hair from a recent train wreck at another salon! Thanks Neil! Kathleen read more

Dulce was wonderful, she understood that I wanted a change in my hair color, gave informed and sound advice, and was great to chat with as she gave me my root touch up and lovely hand and neck massage with essential oils. The missing "star" would be for the salon itself, scratches on the arms of the chairs and the cabinets could use a bit of a touch up, and it is a bit on the pricey side. read more

Why do hairdressers not listen when you tell them what you want? Why do hairdressers always cut into the front and back and destroy a year of growth, unless you pay them $1000 or something? I have to be a movie star? Ahrrrrr!!! read more

I had about 18 months of pandemic hair growth that needed to be chopped off. I also discovered during the pandemic that my hair's been wavy all along and I had no idea what to do for it aside from experimenting with various hair products. Dulce was my stylist for the day and not only did she give me a fantastic haircut, she also helped me with styling tips for my wavy hair (without pushing extra products on me). I have a hard time trusting new salons, but this one won me over! I was looking forward to some Aveda tea which I didn't get, but I'm assuming that because of the pandemic, they've put it on pause. Already scheduled my next appointment in a few months! read more

Dulce Is a delight and I love the way she did my hair. I've gone back to her again I was just as pleased the second time. I do suggest that the salon needs a little touchup painting and decor. Nonetheless, I highly recommend them. read more

Great experiences here every time! I have yet to get my hair colored, but every cut has been great! I went to a couple of stylists because I never plan ahead and am always trying to get an appointment at the last minute, leaving me with whoever happens to be available. They were all good. But my favorite thus far has been Lyndsy. When I wanted bangs, she just got me on a deep level and understood exactly the style and level of maintenance I could handle. I've been planning ahead a little better ever since and I'm super happy with the service. Side note: if you have a flaky scalp, they have a great shampoo called Scalp Benefits. It's the only shampoo I can use that helps my dry scalp! Totally worth the money if you have that problem. read more

Thank you to Ro for always delivering such a clean cut!! If you're looking for a skilled barber definitely recommended. Marilyn is super talented as well she did such an amazing hair color! Both Ro and Marilyn are very talented and professional highly recommend. read more

I went and got my first haircut in two years since all this Covid madness! And I cannot believe how much I missed Valorie! I've made some pretty bad choices with my hair and she never makes me feel bad about it LOL and she continues to fix it! I felt very comfortable and safe. It was very nice because everybody was masked. I actually cannot wait to go back! I obviously love my cut too! I never question Valorie's skills! read more

This salon is amazing! The people are really nice and the hairstylists are extremely talented. Every time I go, I have full confidence that I'm in good hands. I'm new to having my hair layered and styled, so all I had were a few reference photos of what I like when I came in. Heather was my hairstylist this time, and she asked questions to figure out the details of what I wanted and then did a wonderful job! It came out better than I had even pictured in my mind. She was kind and gave helpful hair care tips along the way as well. I would definitely recommend! (: read more

I've been getting my hair done by different hairstylist since the first time I went and I really like the outcome. I usually get a deep conditioning treatment, hair gloss (toner), root touch up and cut. Everytime they do an amazing job. I really like the Aveda line, I guess it's better for your hair since it's all natural. The last time I went they scheduled my appointment wrong not giving the stylist enough time to do everything I wanted but the stylist still managed to make it work. So I left happy and decided to update my review. read more

Bruna was soo genuine and sweet! She also took time to explain her process, which made it easy to trust her with my hair. It's only been a day and I've already received so many compliments! read more

I have been going here for a while and generally had good experiences, but I recently got my hair highlighted in preparation for a vacation and I was not happy with the result. She highlighted my hair almost to my roots when I didn't show her any pictures of that, and some pieces were thick and streaky. When I voiced my concerns she said that I usually wear my hair curly so I won't notice. I also asked for balayage and she did foil and told me it was cheaper, but in retrospect it makes me feel like she probably didn't know how to do balayage. I called the salon to cancel my next appointment and told them I was unhappy with my last cut/color. She said the owner would call me but she never did. I'm disappointed and won't be coming back. read more

Gone here several times and always left so happy with my haircuts! I've seen several stylists and they're all great, I go to Maggie for my shag 70s style haircut and she does a PERFECT job every time. read more

I waited a week before writing this review because I hate writing bad reviews and I kept telling myself I'll adjust to this terrible haircut. I'm not a picky person. Paying ~$60 - $80 for a professional haircut is to be expected. What I did not expect was paying $60 for a MASTER stylist to chop off my hair into chunks within 10 minutes. 10 minutes, it took her less than 10 minutes to cut my hair. I am so so so upset. I have never, EVER had a haircut this terrible. Think I'm exaggerating? Check out the photos of my hair. I can't even look at the mirror. It is THAT BAD. unbelievable! read more

The worst hair experience I have ever had. My stylist, Valorie, toned my hair too dark where you couldn't see any of the dye she put in my hair because it blended into my natural hair. She told me I could come back if it didn't lighten after a few days, I can back and when I asked for it to be lightened she said she couldn't do that without charging me the full service fee again (over $200). She said she could add lighter highlights so it is more noticeable and all she did was put two hideous bright blond streaks in the front of my brunette hair. I'm so sad, worst service ever, and now I have to walk around with hideous hair and colors I never asked for. Do NOT come to this salon. They are unprofessional and u willing to fix their mistakes even after paying so much money. EDIT: this was posted before manager, Brenda, reached out to me. Manager reached out to me shortly after this review was posted and was helpful, kind, and offered me a refund. read more

Do you like it when people make you lie down so they can put weird gunk on your face? I do! Hey, get your mind out of the gutter, I'm referring to getting spa facials and not the other thing you were...thinking about...yeah...anyway....I'm picky about what goes on my face so it has to be Aveda products only when it comes to getting facials. I used to come here all the time when I lived in UTC and it didn't stop me from coming here anyway when I lived in hell hole Mira Mesa, but just the other day, while I was driving to San Diego to meet up with my husband on my day off, he got me a gift certificate to come here and I was thrilled. I always feel relaxed after my facial and usually they give me scalp massage while my mask is drying and even give me limb massage on my arms and legs and feet. It's really relaxing and everyone there is just really friendly. You wouldn't think you would be relaxed when you see it in the plaza, but I promise you, it's worth the visit. read more

Wonderful experience here. I can't wait to go back again. Thank you for fixing my hair and making me feel like a million bucks.

Amazing ! Phil has been cutting my hair for quite some time now. I followed him over here from another Salon and glad I did. All of the Staff is very nice and pleasant to deal with. They never pedal there wares on you and always make you feel welcome. You will be offered water or tea while you wait. Book yourself an appointment you wont regret it, these guys really know their craft. Every time I leave this place I am feeling like a rock star. I will be coming back here all the time,Thanks Phil C-ya in a few weeks ... read more

I booked an appointment to cut and have them do a blowout for my hair and when it got to the blowout part they said they didn't have time to do my whole hair. Like what do you mean you don't have time I booked an appointment with you and told you exactly what I wanted before walking in. read more

Great salon! Love the services and Aveda products. Rosa, Nail Technician, is the best!

Carly is my favorite colorist EVER. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. I have had my hair colored at many salons across the US, including many upscale shops in Miami and NYC, and Carly is still my favorite. Now I refuse to go anywhere else for color. She has amazing attention to detail and knows exactly how to apply color so that it doesn't look stripey or brassy. My brunette hair with subtle bronde (blonde + brown, get it?!) highlights always looks great after Carly colors it. It grows out evenly so that I don't have to constantly recolor. Also the Aveda products are kinder and less damaging to ones hair. The Young Attitudes Aveda Salon is located in La Jolla Village Square next door Paper Source. The salon is warm and modern with hardwood floors and an open set-up. There is also a makeup and Aveda products section at the front of the store by reception. read more

They should rename the salon, The Bang Salon (insert joke here -- actually, please don't)...because this is SCISSORS DOWN the best place to go in San Diego/La Jolla to get a fringe trim whether you're maintaining your cut or have decided to take the plunge and get a new chic style with Bangs like Zooey (look this video up on YouTube if you don't know what I'm talking about). Tara is the rock star here for bang trims, and comes recommended by the salon if you are cutting brand new bangs. My first experience here was in October 2012, where I asked Tara to cut and style artificial Ken Paves clip-in bangs. She did a fantastic job -- the other stylists as well as friends seeing it up close could not tell they were fake because she made them look so natural! Soon after, I returned to get my real bangs cut and am amazed every time by her skill! She layers them slightly, knows exactly how to thin them out when they grow out, and knows how to keep the edges natural. I'm sure if you wanted a blunt Bettie Page style she could do that too. If you regularly get your bangs trimmed (a $10 service) with her, she told me that she'll also take care of you complimentary for that "in-between" time when you don't yet need a full bang trim. And if you are a regular with getting full haircuts with her, then the bang trims are always free. The salon is always busy so call ahead for an apointment. I was running late for a bang trim w/Tara over the weekend, and the salon accommodated me with another stylist Codie, who was also exceptional at trimming bangs! A good bang trim is hard to find elsewhere, but at Young Attitudes, it's one of their specialties! Both Tara and Codie are bang trim experts and very receptive to listening to the customer, even if you are shy about asking "Can you take off a little bit more on the side?" read more

Don't ever book with Bree she is extremely rude and unprofessional I won't be back again! She gossips I'm here to relax not hear about your problems! Doesn't even deserve one star! read more

I actually love this place. Relatively easy to get a last minute appointment (few days in advance, but that's not too bad compare to other places), decent prices and good hair masters. read more

I got my hair done by Marilyn last weekend for a wedding. I wanted an edgy style and showed her an inspiration picture . . . And she killed it!! Amazing! I got compliments all night long. Thank you so much! Oh, and PS, I was originally set for an appointment with Patrick, master stylist, and he was lovely enough to switch with Marilyn, because he knew she'd do an amazing job. Super cool of them!! read more

I got a woman's haircut, I have short hair, just a trim. They say they will charge you $55-70, so just expect that they will charge you the $70 for a trim. Really overpriced for a trim. Plus they say on their website: All hair services include one of the following Aveda rituals: Stress Relieving Ritual consisting of a light scalp, neck and shoulder massage; Hand Relieving Ritual consisting of a moisturizing hand massage; or a Makeup Finishing Touch. THIS IS NOT TRUE. However, the haircut was okay. I got what I asked for. read more

I can only speak for Whitney, but she was awesome. She gave me a great head massage, followed by an wonderful shampoo, followed by an even more amazing haircut! I had her cut about 8 inches off the length of my hair and she made me feel really comfortable throughout the process. Another perk: They offer you yummy tea when you walk in. If you live in the area, it's definitely a good place to try for a moderately priced haircut ($40-50). read more

I have been a fan of this place for years now. The hairdressers (especially Ann Marie and Carly) are so talented with their cut and coloring skills. I recommend them to friends all the time. Huge fan! Thanks ladies and Young Attitudes Team. read more

Love Amber! She's nice and talented! Great haircuts and advice over the years! Thank you!

Went here for the first time and came away very happy. I had my hair done by Brittany, who was friendly and knowledgeable about the products in the shop. So be clear, they are a private salon that uses Aveda products exclusively. My haircut started off with a scalp massage, which is always a great way to start. This was followed up by a wash and trim. She thinned out my hair and it turned out well. I didn't really have an idea of what I wanted when I went in. I usually wear the asian spike where you push it all forward and then press the front up. She gave me a new look that I'll have to see if I can recreate tomorrow. But my hair looks less poofy and I've received several comlements on it already. Hooray! read more

I had a great experience here. Olivia did an amazing job, both from a service point of view and in terms of the final product. I felt like she treated my head as a sculpture, taking all the time and care needed to ensure a great result. In fact, I liked it so much I immediately made a standing appointment for the rest of the year. I'm already excited to back again next month. read more

The staff here are super nice and the haircut is pretty inexpensive. The experience is worth every penny. Got greeted with warm tea or water and each staff member ensured that we were comfortable. When getting the cut, they do a scalp and shoulder/neck massage with a whiff of essential oils and then they proceed to wash your hair, which obviously has more scalp massage. I would totally go here again just for the experience. read more

Kerri is absolutely amazing!!! She truly understands types/textures/colors etc. I had the same hairstylist for over 10 years and then she moved. I spent 2 years looking for one that actually listens and knows her colors. Finally I have and I highly recommend her to everyone! read more

I recently visited this salon, which is quite close to my apartment, for a haircut. My haircut is okay, but I was underwhelmed by my hairstylist Marylin's unpleasant, impatient, and unprofessional behavior. I really didn't expect that and will not go to this salon for another service ever again. read more

From the moment I walked in and offered tea I knew it was going to be great. Customer service from the front ladies was great. I had been going to Gila Rut for over 12 years but only because of Michael S. He sadly left and my haircuts were never the same. I went to several salons and no one like Michael. But roughly 5 years later I found him again at this amazing salon. He did a full color with highlights and he knocked it out of the park. I'm back! My hair whisperer is back in my life. Lol Gracias Michael! See you in 6-8 weeks! read more

I really wanted to give a big THANK YOU! I have gone through what many would call several hair dye disasters from very high end salons. I came in on a whim, met with Neil and trusted his advice. I was so lucky I did bc he was finally able to get my hair to an amazing rich brown color. I can't say enough about his skills and talent, thanks again Neil for the awesome color. I finally found the best stylist in SD to take great care of my hair. read more

I got my haircut with Cynthia and I have to tell everyone that it was the best haircut I have ever had in my entire life. If you want something that is trendy and edgy but subtle, Cynthia is the best. For the first time in my life, I felt like a hairstylist took time to do my hair and make sure I was comfortable. She took my hair (that was so long, it went to my lower back), and transformed it into a really cute and groomed haircut. Also, they don't charge you up the butt for the quality of the stylist so I got a great price for my haircut. I will go back again and make Cynthia my permanent hairstylist because I was very impressed with Cynthia.. I even trust her to color my hair in the future. Yay! read more

+ Easy Appointment Easy Parking Open late Great stylists Great Products I got a haircut and styling from Cynthia last week and I absolutely loved what she did.. My hair looks great even after a wash! I know who I am going to next time! read more

After I posted about the bad hair cut I received, I was messaged by the manager and offered a credit to come back and get it fixed. I really appreciate that kind of customer service, and she also gave me some recommendations for stylists that would do a good job fixing my hair. I made an appointment with Carly, and she did a great job! She recognized that the original cut was quite odd and noticed the chunk of hair that was missing in the front. She listened to what I didn't like about my hair and cut it exactly how I wanted it done. She also took the time to answer my questions. I still have some work to do to get back to the length I wanted, but I love my hair right now. I'm giving a 4 star review (despite Carly's 5 star hair cut) because I have now had 2 stylists that I really didn't like and 2 stylists that I did like. The customer service is great from my experience, and the salon is cute and well kept in a convenient location. read more
