Disclaimer: I met Sophie through our kids' preschool. I've known her for 4-5 years before I became her client, but she gives all of her clients the same professional 5-star experience and service! My hair needs are relatively simple; I get a cut to shape my hair every few months, it grows out, I get another cut and reshape. I lost a lot of my hair due to trauma from spine surgery in January 2020. I also didn't know that the my head had been shaved in the back "just in case" they needed to perform surgery higher up my spine, so I was looking like the Crypt Keeper. It took 2 years for me to regrow most of my hair back, or at least make a decent ponytail to hide my hair loss. I was quite self-conscious about my hair loss, especially with my workplace reopening, people who had only seen the front of my hair on Zoom would finally see the back. I asked Sophie to help me. Sophie is a safe space. I felt comfortable enough to show her what meds and trauma had done. She asked me lots of questions. She explained what she saw, made sure we were both clear on my expectations. I also explained my daily styling and maintenance routine. I love the way my hair came out, especially with the blow out. It was like one of the few times during the pandemic and my recovery that I felt like my old self. I also brought my daughter for a trim. I noticed that her kitchen haircut from my mom was a bit crooked in the back, and mini-me had cut her own bangs on 2 different occasions. Sophie gave her a nice trim to even things out and blend the regrowth, and she braided her hair afterwards. i really admire Sophie's patience with mini-me, taking time to explain how she does her job. It's been a few months since our haircuts, and although they grew out a little, they still look great. Looking forward to our next appointment with Sophie! read more

I get my hair cut here every month! Make sure to schedule in advance because it can be hard to get an appointment.

If you are searching for a new hair stylist, look no further. I've always had a hard time sticking with someone.. the first time is usually pretty good but all other visits never felt the same after. Because of that I was always on the hunt for someone I can stay with long term, which is the dream! Last year, I let my hair go... among other things :) I used box color (no hate, just never found one that was consistent), tied it back and didn't think about it until I couldn't take it anymore. Once they had relaxed restrictions a bit, I looked for a good and safe place to treat my hair to something special. Finding Sophie last year was a godsend. She had everything I needed in a stylist: - Stylist in single suite (safe :)) - Easy and comfortable to talk to - Easy to make appointments - Open and honest suggestions if I had no clue as to what I wanted - Consistent quality with every visit - Compliments from random people after every visit (it's true!) So if you are even on the fence about it, you should just do it and call her for an appointment. It may be the best decision you make this year :) read more

Sophie's work is of high quality. She is pleasant, creative, and skilled. Thanks to Yelp, I found ZOSK and her 5 star review is genuine. Sophie listened and gave me a beautiful hairstyle that was easy to manage. I look forward to seeing her again soon. read more

ZosK Salon - Before and After and after hair wash. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Sophie is the best! I had a wedding hair trial with another highly recommended hairstylist but wasn't happy. Came to Sophie and I could tell right away that she was highly skilled and just knew her stuff. She listened to everything I was envisioning and had confidence she could make it happen. Come the day of the wedding, her fun personality and professionalism put us all at ease. And everyone's hair turned out so beautifully! There was a wide range of different hair types she had to deal with, from my long, thick, heavy hair to my moms super fine thinning hair to my super picky 6 year old niece's hair. Everyone ended up loving their style from Sophie! read more

ZosK Salon - Loved my flowy, easy, voluminous wedding day hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Sophie works magic on hair! I have been going to her for years for my cut and color and most recently had her do my hair on my wedding day! Her cut and color have always been amazing. I always walk out of her shop feeling fab and loving my hair. My wedding day was no different. When Sophie showed up that morning, she brought her cheery, fun spirit and got right to it. We had six girls total and had to be ready by 11am. She made sure we were right on schedule. She is so fast and efficient. I wanted all the girls to have their hair up and Sophie gave each girl a different look while still giving us all a very cohesive look. Everyone's hair looked so good! So many compliments about our hair! We had a long wedding day and every girl's hair remain perfectly in tact through the whole day. If you haven't met Sophie, you need to meet her now! You won't regret it! With Sophie not only do you have a great stylist, but you also feel like you're spending time with your close friend! read more

I've always been kind of boring with my hair styles. I went for a trim with Sophie recently, and she was able to give me a refreshing new look which was still within my comfort zone. In other words, I feel kinda cute with my new hair! Her new place at Phenix in Mira Mesa also has such a classy vibe. I love her wall bubble aquarium! read more

I usually go to a Japanese place in Clairemont but after some inconsistent results, I asked my friends for help. One of my friends recommended Sophie/Zosk and I could not be happier. Sophie is a versatile artist and helped my find a style that makes me look great! -so says my mom. I used to be the type to call a few days ahead to make an appointment, but now its on a regular monthly schedule. 5 stars! read more

So I'm totally the type that is way too lazy to go to get my hair cut (last time was over a year ago, for shame!). I had long hair down to my butt that I would just throw in a bun. After delivering my child in April, it was time for Sophie to give me a change and a new "mom" look. This is probably the shortest hair I've had in about ten years when I last donated it. No regrets at all since it looks and feels amazing. It's lighter, healthier and less time consuming to manage. Why didn't I do this sooner? Thanks Sophie! Her salon is a room in an office building on the second floor. The whole building is dedicated to salon services. I was able to bring my baby in a jogging stroller. I first used Sophie for my wedding. I've always had trouble keeping my hair styled and up since the length was so heavy. Sophie made it happen, and I felt like a pretty princess that day. She showed up earlier than scheduled and knocked out everyone's hair with time for pictures before the wedding. read more

I love going to Sophie at Zosk salon. I tried lots of hairstylists in San Diego before finding her, and I've been going for about 5 years now. I'm even moving away but planning quarterly trips back to see friends... and get my hair done ;) She does a great job recommending haircuts that suit my lifestyle (low maintenance) and look great. Plus she is easy to schedule with, confirms appointments 24 hours ahead, and is always on time and professional. Totally recommend! read more

Sophie, loves making you look and feel your best! I have been getting highlights for many years, decades in fact, I know when someone knows how to do foils well and Sophie knows how to do foils GREAT! I also have long, thick hair and it takes FOREVER to dry, Sophie styles my hair and I always leave her chair ready to take on the town. read more

I have been going to Sophie for many years (lost count) in La Jolla, changed my hair color twice. Always get great compliments after visiting her salon. She is an amazing colorist and hairstylist. I never stayed with a stylist for so long, Sophie is a true find. I live in La Jolla but I would not consider changing stylists, I drive to Mira Mesa to her new salon (which is super cute by the way.) read more

Sophie Meas does it again! I absolutely love love love my hair. I highly recommend going to her. I've been going to her consistently for a few years now and it was because I was tired of bad hair cuts and trying to convey to the hairstylist how I wanted my hair to be cut. I appreciate the time, care, and technique that Sophie takes into consideration when styling, cutting and coloring. Getting your hair done is not only about how it looks NOW but it's also about how it will look as your hair grows, it just keeps getting better! She so gets my style and what best suits ME. read more

Can I give more than 5 stars on Yelp????? They really need to add that function ASAP because Sophie deserves it! I have been coming to Sophie for more than 5 years now and will continue to do so. She is an amazing individual both professionally and personally. I trust her with my hair and only her!!! She went on maternity leave and I did not let anyone else touch my hair. She is great with her style and always let you know what she thinks is best. I love that since I am that one girl who walks in with an inspiration "photo" and say things like "caramel brown" hahahaha having Sophie guide me is probably just what I need. Seriously though, if you are looking for an amazing hair stylist! Look no further! Thanks again Sophie for always "fixing me" read more

I've been to quite a few salon over the past five years. Over the last year I finally decided to stick to a salon that I found in clairemont which i thought to be quite descent. A friend of mine recommended me to Sophie. I normally only have my stylist layer my hair a certain way that was quite simple but sophie suggested a few new options to me in quite a subtle manner. She explained to me her reasoning behind everything which I pretended like I understood even though I've only ever experienced with two types of hairstyle my entire life....... At the end everything turned out great! I probably should look for a new gf since I'm a much better looking person now :-P Just kidding! I hope my gf doesnt read this but what I wanted to say was that I was extremely satisfied with my first haircut at ZOSK. Sophie is quite meticulous and skillful at what she does! read more

I've been letting Sophie cut my hair for years now. If you are looking for a talented hairstylist, search no more. Head to Zosk salon. This girl was born with gifted hands and vision. I had long hair for a while then asked Sophie for a cute bob. Everyone liked it and the best part, hair fall naturally and beautifully when growing back. So you don't have to go as often as needed for a trim if you are lazy like me. I decided recently to cut it even shorter and knew I wouldn't be able to do it without Sophie's talent. Everybody LOVE my new hair cut even guys who tend to like women with long hair. I now give free wheel to Sophie whenever I go see her. I know she will work her magic and make me feel beautiful. Believe me, you can blindly trust this amazing hairstylist. I have recommended few friends to her and they were all super excited and proud of their new hair do :) read more

My hair is thick, frizzy and how much it curls depends on the day, so I really notice the difference between a haircut and a GREAT haircut. Sophie was recommended to me by a trusted hair stylist in Montréal and I am so happy I did not have to find a new hair stylist in San Diego by trial and error! Sophie is professional, always aware of the new trends, and ready to give me a great makeover. I always come back from my appointment feeling great about my hair and in a better mood: Sophie's the best! Un petit plus: Sophie est bilingue donc on parle en français et on échange des nouvelles du Québec!!! C'est vraiment agréable d'avoir une coiffeuse qui me comprend bien, autant d'un point de vue professionnel que personnel. read more

ZosK Salon - After some pink & turquoise, going for a more natural look. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Lemme just start off by saying I'm not usually the kind of girl to constantly worry about the state of my hair. I know absolutely zero about hair care and can only trust my hair stylist to lead me down the right direction. Sophie Meas does that and then some! She's so patient and provides such good guidance as to what kind of color matches best with who I am. Every time I go and get my hair done with her, I get SO many compliments and she really, truly knows how to make you feel beautiful! The salon is super far for me (it's located in La Jolla and I'm all the way up in North County), but Sophie makes it worth the drive. I don't trust anyone else with my hair, but her! read more

ZosK Salon - red, red, red! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I've tried many hair stylists in my life and Sophie is the one that I love and have stuck to for the past 5-6 years. I can always trust her with cut and color. A lot of times I'm really indecisive with what I should do with my hair. I would show her several pictures to describe what look I'm trying to go for. She would listen and ask questions to gage what I'm looking for and create THE PERFECT look for me. I never need to find another hair stylist again. I've done ombré, sombre, highlights and they were all great. I definitely recommend Sophie!!!! Thank you for making me love my hair every time. read more

Sophie is the best! Amazing job with my color and cut. Exactly what I wanted! The new location is intimate and she's able to validate your parking from the Ace lot, behind Bank of America. read more

Love ZosK Salon! Sophie is so talented and has an eye for the right color and cut for her clients. I have this amazing red balayage with baby lights that is fun, bold and still professional for my line of work. She also has been recommending that I get the Brazilian blowout for years now and I finally did it. I DONT KNOW WHY I DIDN'T DO IT SOONER!! My hair is so smooth and shiny. I have virtually no frizz to manage when I hop out of the shower and let me hair air dry. When I style it, it's smooth and easier to work with now! Thank you Sophie for the amazing color and Brazilian blowout! read more

Why doesn't Sophie have more reviews?! It has already been a few weeks since she FIXED my cut and color and I am still getting compliments on my hair! It is finally so exciting to have someone understand your needs ~ Sophie is so knowledgeable and sweet read more

I've been coming to Sophie for years and she always does a stunning job with my hair! Recently I was bored of my long, straight, dry-ends hair and I let Sophie do whatever she seemed fit. The only detail I had asked for was the length. I didn't want my hair super short and I showed her where the shortest I would want to go to was and she said that was perfect. After a wonderful conversation and a pile of hair on the floor, my hair came out so cute and flattering! I have received so many compliments on it, just like my past cuts from her. Never a disappointment :) read more

I had my haircut by Sophie and it looks AMAZING! She's also a great hair consultant and will truly get your hair looking it's best... I've already given referrals to my girlfriends and they love her as much as I do! I'm never going to anyone else to get my hair done :D read more

Sophie is awesome! Very open and engaging, you may end up talking about a lot of random things during your appointment. The cut looks great, and she shows you how to style it yourself so that you can take away something with you. read more

Been seeing Sophie for years, wouldn't have any other stylist as I'm pretty picky as a man. Even my sister refuses to get her hair done with anyone else. Friendly and funny, gives great consultation (I have no idea what I want sometimes) not to mention shes pretty talented...my sister even told me she won hair awards from Montreal. She recently opened her own studio, a minute away from her old spot in Model Call Salon. Which is awesome, but honestly she could've moved into another city and I'd still consider seeing her. Go and see her, you won't regret it read more

I usually never leave a reviw but i had to give Sophie a shout out! Haha to be honest im pretty boring when it comes to my hair, never wanted to try anything new. Then a friend referred me to Sophie and let me tell you she is freaking awesome! She listened to what i wanted and gave me tips/tricks on how to care for my hair. Very knowledgeable!! I walked out of the salon feeling sexy and confident! I will be coming back, guranteed! Give her a shot, you will not be disappointed! read more

I love Sophie! It is very hard to find a stylist who can color and cut hair, but Sophie can do it all. I have short blond hair and Sophie is the only person I trust with my hair. Yes, I'm obsessed with my hair but Sophie knows that and always gives me what I want. My color looks natural and my cut looks stylish. I broken up with a lot of stylists, but Sophie is a keeper!!!! read more

Sophie knows what she's doing. She cuts both me and my wife's hair... And it always looks amazing.

So let's be honest here, anybody can cut hair and call themselves a stylist. Today was my first time meeting Sophie and let me just say, she IS NOT just any stylist! She is knowledgable and experienced in what she does and she is more than willing to share her information. I have the flattest hair in the entire world and she gave me great advice on products and things I can do to give my hair more body. Before she started cutting, she made sure to ask me exactly what I wanted and gave further advice on what would and wouldn't do well with my hair type. She actually cared! Could you imagine that? To top it off, I absolutely LOVED the results. She is such a friendly and talented woman. I came across her via referral and I would and will recommend her to all of my friends as well. If you are having trouble looking for a stylist, please, look no more. Book with Sophie and fall in love with your hair just like I did. We even decided I'm going to book a future appointment to dye my hair! Something I have been very hesitant to do after over 8 years due to a past traumatic experience. Hold that thought Yelpers. I'll be back with those results as well (: read more

Located in a very cool spot and it's very intimate. I highly recommend Sophie to EVERYONE. Guys, girls, ladies, gentleman, and kids of all ages. She's got an amazing personality to match her talents. read more

Sophie's skill with color is unmatched. For years I played with adjusting my natural brown, lightening it, or playing with highlights. All these turned out great. Then one day she suggested to me that my complexion was suited for a redhead. Boy was she right. I went red a few years ago and I've never looked back. I constantly get compliments on my hair, and other redheads think it's natural. I took a trip to Ireland and the compliments continued, folks thought I was a natural Irish red. The best part is what she's done even fades to natural brown tones between visits so I never feel like my roots look awkward. read more

Awesome hair cut today with Sophie! My hair was a frizzy mess and Sophie turned it into a soft, wavy layered cut. I have been coming to her for years and highly recommend her!! read more

Sophie is amazingggg!! No other words can describe the work she does. She is a hair goddess!! Even though I live over 100miles away now, I make a trip out to see Sophie just for my hair. I trust no one else. I have left many salons crying over messed up bangs, cut, color, etc, and Sophie always ends up fixing my hair and making it beautiful. read more

Sophie is a talented stylist. She knows hair, and color! Sophie is professional and lot's of fun! She always makes me laugh when I see her, and it's great chatting with her and then leaving with a great cut/color. read more

This was my first time here getting a cut and I was extremely happy with how it turned out. Sophie did a fabulous job. I'd never been here before so each person has their own room which is nice because I've always didn't like other people listening in on my conversation. This layout is so much better and I think you get a much more personal touch. While it may have been my first time here it certainly won't be my last. read more

Sophie is AMAZING. Not only is she a fabulous human, she is also my favorite hair stylist! Sophie has been doing my hair for two years and I don't ever want to go to anyone else! I have really thick, long, frizzy hair and Sophie makes it perfectly smooth and straight every time. read more

I have been seeing Sophie for many years now. I absolutely love the way she does my hair! She does exactly what you want and does not get scissor happy (she cuts the exact amount off that you want). She also does great color! I moved away to NYC and see her every time I come home cause that's how much i love her work! Only warning is that the salon is small but its intimate and in a great location in La Jolla! You must go here read more

Sophie has been taking care of my hair for the past year, and I am thrilled with the results. She conquered the frizz, covered the gray, and gave me some great blonde highlights. I've been able to grow out my hair, and it is shiny, manageable, and looks better than it has in many years. I trust her advice about what will work for me and what won't. read more

Love Sophie! I only go to her I don't let anyone touch my hair. There is something amazing about her cutting my hair because i can leave it long for about a good 5-6 months before going in again. I just love how she has been doing my hair as it always boosts my confidence and looks great! Today was no exception, I asked her to do whatever she felt was best for me, she already knows my taste and all I requested was her to go lighter on my color since summer was coming in and she did it! Her personality is great and every time I see her I feel like we are good buddies just catching up as always. If you haven't try her, she is well worth the time and money. I always feel my money is well spent when it comes to see her! read more
