If you're looking for a hairdresser who is highly skilled, meticulous at her craft, and kind, I can't recommend Andrea enough!!! She is incredible. I came to Andrea because she had great reviews on here, especially for short hair. I recently moved to the area and unfortunately, the first hairdresser I tried (different salon) gave me a terrible haircut. I was so upset, and worried about losing even more length and having to take a gamble on another new hairdresser. But man, am I grateful to have found Andrea! She listened to me, was empathetic and asked me clarifying questions about what I wanted. And then she got to work. I can hardly believe how wonderfully it turned out! She took a nightmare canvas and turned it into a masterpiece. Not only does it look great, but it *feels* great. She shaped it perfectly, working with my ornery cowlicks and all. She really took her time to make sure everything was balanced just right, and then she only charged me for a cleanup haircut as opposed to a full haircut, even though I'm pretty sure it was just as much work, if not more, having to start with the other hairdresser's mess of a cut. Ten out of ten stars. Andrea's the BEST! read more

She is an amazing hairstylist. She's been cutting my hair for 14yrs and I have referred her to my family. They love her and I do too!!

Reluctantly I'm giving 5 stars , only cos it may make Andrea busier There is no one better. read more

I moved to San Diego this past summer and was in search for a stylist who can give great layers. It was hard to find a stylist who would post their work without curling after a haircut. Someone had recommended Andrea. So I looked at her work she has done with her other clients through social media and like them, and gave her a try. I showed her a pic of the haircut i wanted, and she executed it. She is amazing! I love my hair. read more

Andrea is an incredibly talented stylist, especially when it comes to curly hair. I left San Diego to go to medical school in Utah and I travel all over the country for rotations, but I always come back to her. When I wanted to chop off my long hair for a pixie, she made it look fantastic. When I started getting chilly working in the OR with short hair and decided to grow it out, she made the whole process so graceful. I never had a bad hair day while growing out a pixie and that is nothing short of a miracle. She somehow knows exactly what I want from the vague descriptions I give her, and she always has helpful suggestions whenever I'm unsure. I actually prefer her to take the reigns because she knows intuitively what works best for my face and style. read more

Andrea did a fantastic job on creating the perfect hairstyle for me. I love keeping my hair long and she was able to keep the length while still expertly reshaping my hair. Thanks Andrea!! read more

Has it really been 7 1/2 years??! I'm obsessed with Andrea & her wonderful work. Of course I followed her to the Morena location and have been sending friends & coworkers to her as often as possible. read more

I could not agree more with the previous reviews! Andrea is fantastic. For a long time she kept my mid-back length hair looking healthy and great. She is great at listening to what you're looking for, as well as giving suggestions if you're looking to change your look a bit. About a year ago she helped me donate to Locks for Love by chopping 12 inches off, leaving me with a sassy bob. I decided to get a pixie cut just this past weekend and am so happy with how Andrea pulled it off. A pixie leaves very little margin of error and she was slow and patient the entire time since I was a bit nervous. She made tiny adjustments until I was very happy with the result. Long or short hair, I have adored every haircut from Andrea. If you are thinking of making a big change to your look, or going to a pixie cut, this is your girl. Another thing that's great about her is that she's simply a fun, cool person to hang out with for an hour during your haircut! Also, I love her new salon, Dragonfly Hair Salon. There's free parking behind the building, which is great for an Adams Avenue business. The inside is charming and artsy and I plan to get take out from the restaurant across the street every time I go (Soda and Swine). Also, for the guys, she cuts my boyfriend's hair and he always looks amazing when he comes home. read more

I THANK GOD FOR THIS WOMAN!! I honestly don't know how I ever went to anyone before Andrea. You will never leave her chair unhappy, and she is the most caring, patient, and precise stylist I have ever been too. Andrea always goes above and beyond and you can trust her to listen and give you exactly what you are looking for!! She is fabulous and I will never go to anyone else besides her!! I always get the same ombré because I love it, and somehow Andrea always makes it better each time. This time she used Olaplex, and the quality of my hair is the best it's ever been (especially after a bleaching service). Was a little upgrade to my already affordable color service. WORTH EVERY PENNY. read more

Andrea is so AWESOME! (From 2014/03/01) She was at a previous Salon and just recently left there. I wanted her to cut my hair and she wasn't there anymore! I panicked! I Cried! I felt alone! I felt scared! AND to make it worse, my hair was a mess. Then I found her by randomly searching for her on Yelp! YES! Crisis adverted! Thank you again for an amazing Hair cut Andrea!! So glad that I found you...AGAIN!!!! Update! (2015/01/15) I have been going to Andrea for professional styling and haircuts since 2010! Holy smokes is that a long time! So I laid off the hair cut and went for nearly 9 months of no hair cut and no real styling. I had to get my hair set up and make it look good again! I went in and she rocked it! Thank you! read more

Andrea does it again and again! Before and afters this time I got bangs (take 2)... Andrea has been my birthday present 3 years in a row now....1st Review was a week after and last year and today are/were on my birthday! Most recent look was 2/1/17. Oh, the outside of the building is now yellow and a tree was removed. Parking is in the rear of the building. read more

Andrea is an excellent and very professional hair stylist. I strong recommend her for either color/ highlights or cut! She does my hair since I moved to San Diego about 2 years ago. I am very picky and worried about damaging my hair and she always, always take care of me to make sure I am with the color I wanted and not getting my hair dry and brittle. You are amazing!!!!!! read more

Andrea is excellent! Always on time. Always listens and insures she understand what I want. Focused artist. Don't hesitate. I especially love being able to book my appointments via Yelp/ Online Booking. Day or Night. Yeah! Love. Love. read more

You will never be disappointed. I've been in an exclusive relationship with Andrea in regards to my hair for over two years and I'll never go elsewhere. She truly listens to what your ideas are, what you want to get out of your cut/color service, and if you're emotional about a haircut, Andrea is always willing to find a way to make sure it's truly what you want. Her color skills are amazing, and I've never gotten out of her chair upset or any emotion besides absolutely ecstatic over how my hair looks. read more

Another transformation from Andrea! She's taken me from long hair to dreadlocks to a hard part! The beard trims and shaping are also so great. I told Andrea what I wanted to do and she told me that it's possible but she has a plan how to get to the exact style I wanted. I appreciate her honesty, she never just tells me what I want to hear, she's always very truthful and knowledgeable. She's definitely a master of her craft! read more

Andrea Gibson - The latest chapter in my hair novel that Andrea is authoring! - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Diego, California

The BESTEST hairstylist/human EVER!! This woman ROCKS! I made this woman curl my long ass, limp, no volume hair...not once, not twice, but THREE times now....and probably for the fourth time (for the wedding at the end of this month). And each time, all she did was smile and say "everything is doable!!" Did I mention, the second time she curled my hair, it was 4am?? Andrea definitely knows what she's doing and has some of the best products and tools out there. I cannot express how much she has taken care of me (from coming into the salon early, just for me) to giving me some of her volume spray miracle and even willing to leave her curler with me for an event. This angel does miracle with hair (up dos, down dos, curl..everything!) and I intend to use her for special occasions AND routine work! Prices are VERY reasonable! read more

Now that she has ventured out on her own I want to say again, I am so glad to have found a stylist that I trust completely. Finding a new stylist can be scary. I first saw Andrea at another salon after the person I was supposed to see canceled on me. I am so glad the other stylist did because Andrea did a phenomenal job. I have seen her for highlights, color and cuts and I am always so happy with my hair when i leave. She takes pride in her work and it shows, and she is also genuinely nice ! read more

If I could give Andrea 10 stars I would!! I went to my hair dresser for over 10 years - but I moved to San Diego a year ago and I had to "break-up" with my hometown hairdresser (all you loyal hair-bees know what I mean) . I have been to a few hair dressers in San Diego, but I never liked their work so I never went back. I met Andrea due to Yelp reviews, and honestly I will go to her until she stops doing hair for a living. She is very easy to talk and guided me through the process of what she would be doing to my hair. Beyond that, I brought in a picture of what I wanted done - and she actually matched the picture!!! Her prices are not bad at all ladies and gentlemen! Trust me- try Andrea out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Andrea Gibson - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Diego, California

Andrea is without a doubt the best hair artist that has ever cut my hair. Even this last time, when I came back to her after a botched haircut from someone else, she worked her magic and I no longer feel like I have to wear a hat all the time! She is a wizard with pixie haircuts - which is what I always get. Andrea listens to what I want, even with the cute hairstyle pictures I bring to her in my phone, and my fears of bangs being too short... And it's always so much better than I could have imagined! -such a great experience! Andrea is also a great conversationalist, personable, and just easy to work with, she makes you feel like a friend, remembering details you talked about a million years ago. She's got mad skills with a razor too! So watch out! Five stars. read more

Andrea Gibson is hands down my favorite hair stylist since I moved to CA. I'm so happy I was able to reconnect with her! The last I saw her was in February, and I regret not seeing her sooner. I was having a tough week and she was able to brighten my morning with her lovely positive energy! That's very important to me when it comes to finding a stylist who is just so in tune with their clients. Andrea has great taste and I trust her judgement- especially with hairstyles bc she is so up to date with trends. It's a nice feeling to have knowing that she have me walk out of there feeling good! She's switching locations to 1923 Morena Blvd starting in November. I hear she's having an ocean view at her new salon and I am very excited and happy to follow her! She is definitely worth going to. She gave me a straight line cut while saving the length I've been trying to grow out. Thank you Andrea! See you again soon! read more

Andrea is the bomb! Nicest person ever and so pleasant to converse with. Show her a picture of how you want your hair and she will copy it to a Tee! She is confident and very experienced and she puts you at ease while she cuts your hair. Thanks, Andrea! read more

MY GIRRRLLLLL!!!! Professional, LOVES her work, a true ARTIST for your hair! Amazing attention to detail and checks with you often to be sure your cut is going where you want. Especially, if you are a lady who likes short hair. I like my hair super short and it's been hard to find someone I can trust with this. Most stylists want to talk me into something longer than I prefer, but not Andrea. I also took my 13yo to see her recently when she wanted to go from 30+ inches of hair to boy short. She is SO happy with her hair! Now DH is going too and she did amazing on his Quaker sideburns, lol! Just great!!! read more

Andrea Gibson - Getting my color fixed! :) - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Diego, California

I love love love my new cut (and everyone else does too!) I came in with very very long hair looking for a big change. I was half excited and half scared about going short but I read the reviews for Andrea and it gave me the confidence that she was the right woman for the job. And boy she was! My hair is super cute! Andrea is so great and really knows her stuff. PLUS she's insanely affordable! THANK YOU ANDREA! read more

Andrea is one of the best hairdressers i have ever gone to. I always get nervous having to try someone new but she is so real and so awesome and she delivers EXACTLY what you want! She is so affordable but you don't have to sacrifice your look to reach that. IF YOU ARE READING THIS GO TO ANDREA!! read more

Andrea has been cutting my hair for about 3 years now once a month and I always come back for one reason: because she's the best! She always pays attention to detail. Usually I just get a typical gentlemans cut but she talked me into a barber fade and is super good at it. She introduced me to a new product called Layrite which is better than anything I've ever used. I'd highly recommend her for any hair service and will be coming back probably forever until she has to trim and shampoo my hairpiece. read more

Best stylist / barber ever! I first started going to Andrea when she worked at ARCS in pacific Beach. I was a walk-in searching for a new brave soul to take on the fierce battle that is cutting my hair. She was and still is super friendly, and very accommodating to my frequently changing styles. I was extremely saddened when she left ARCS, but not because of the location change (F*ck their house of pain style hair washing chairs!) but thrilled when she ended up at Dragonfly on Adams. It's very easy to get to and as a bonus, is across the street from Polite Provisions. It's been at least 3 years now that I've been going to her, the longest such tenure of anyone that's cut my hair. She's awesome w the clips or shears. Some times I go with a Collin Ferrel type fohawk, sometimes I feel more hipster and rock the come-over wave. Regardless, she always does an amazing job of wrangle what has to be the most difficult cowlick of all time on my head! I will follow her anyway she works. read more

Holy Brazilian blowout!!! If you are thinking about getting a Brazilian blowout, but aren't sure if it's for you, I promise it is!! As a curly girl it's a staple for me, especially in the summer time. I wouldn't trust anyone like I trust Andrea to give me the perfect color and cut every time, and now thanks to her I also have smooth frizzless hair!! read more

Andrea is very knowledgeable and fun! She did a great cut on my medium length hair and got the color just right! I will be returning to her for all my hair needs...I highly recommend her! read more

Andrea is a hair goddess! I have a blonde pixie with surprisingly THICK hair. It can be tough to deal with, and at other salons no one could really make it a perfect pixie without buzzing it half off. Every time I step out of Andrea's chair I feel absolutely fabulous and finally have the perfect haircut! I will never go anywhere else :) I highly recommend Andrea for my fellow short haired ladies, and really, anyone with hair. Spending an hour or two with her makes my whole day and I always look forward to my next haircut. Thanks Andrea! read more

So Andrea is pretty friggin' awesome. She has a great personality and her talent is incredible. She is very particular about her work, which I appreciate so much! I look forward to every appointment I have with her. She is very patient with all the questions I have and explains things to me in ways my non-hairstylist mind understands! LOL... The salon is super cute also - what more can you ask for?? I'm a happy girl!! :) read more

I Love love love this gal, she gives such an amazing service at such an affordable price I've been to so many places I've paid $115 for a haircut and honestly she does a much better job. I can't say enough good things about Andrea, her bookings should show you the proof she books up in minutes I have to book out in advance, and I couldn't be happier. So If you're lucky enough to get in for an appointment you will be very happy I have been going to her for three years and I will never go anywhere else. read more

A friend of mine had a cute haircut and told me she got it from Andrea--raved about her--so I made my own appointment. Andrea was awesome. I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted to do with my hair (maybe like 80% sure) and she took my comments seriously while trying to come up with a plan for me. We talked it through thoroughly and I trusted her because she took everything into consideration, like the condition and density of my hair. She was easy to talk to. She was also very open about coming back for an adjustment if I didn't like it. I didn't end up needing an adjustment--I like it a lot. Thanks Andrea!! :) read more

ANDREA IS MY GIRL, NOW AND FOREVER!!! Shes totally flexible, such an artist, SHE LISTENS, and she IS REALLY REASONABLE!!! I've only gone to her 4 times in 6 months but it feels like we have known each other for years!! I couldn't afford the $300+ for a cut and color, and I met this girl who had hair I adored!! I asked her who did her hair and that's how I found Andrea!! She's amazing...I trust her TOTALLY!!! read more

She is so amazing funny and talented. It was a great experience from start to finish; and she is extremely affordable with absolutely incredible quality because she is a hair wizard. I appreciated her thoroughness in keeping me in the loop of how she was gonna style my hair! read more

I wish I could give 10 stars and a hug! First of all, I moved to SD about a year ago and have been looking for a new stylist. I found Andrea through yelp searching salons in my area with the highest reviews. Her previous salon is full of raving reviews of her work and clients frantically looking for where she moved to. I was stunned by how many genuinely positive reviews she had. I was no longer interested in that salon, just Andrea. I knew that I had to book an appointment ASAP. Luckily, a few of her clients posted on her previous salon's yelp page with Andreas new contact information. When I texted her I received an almost immediate response and set an appointment. I'm not sure if she normally works on Sundays, but I got the feeling she was working around MY schedule, right off the bat, 1 star! Andrea really took the time to talk to me until we shared the same vision for my hair, star #2! I have never been one to have a lot of patience for time spent in the salon. My appointment with Andrea took about 3 1/2 hours and I thoroughly enjoyed ever single minute. What a doll she is. I felt like I was just hanging out with a girlfriend chatting about boys and makeup. 3 stars!!! I have rarely colored my hair, only twice in my life so I was a little nervous come blow dry time. Of course it was gorgeous! Can I say that about my own hair!? I couldn't even believe how good it looked so we went outside for better lighting. At one point we stood outside with a handheld mirror while I repeated how beautiful I looked! What a great feeling. 4 stars!! Now for the wallet. Andrea gave me a very good ballpark for cost before we started, but somehow it came in much less than I had anticipated. She broke down everything I paid for, cut, color & highlight so that I understood how everything added up. 5 stars!! I was sure that my boyfriend wouldn't really notice a change, but the second I walked through the door he told me I looked beautiful. Um... I need more stars! My appointment was two weeks ago and since one of my friends has already been in to see Andrea. Another girlfriend is booking her appointment today. Thanks for being awesome Andrea!! read more

Andrea is a gift from the hair gods! When I moved to San Diego, I was nervous to have to find a new hairstylist after having been with my previous one for over 5 years. A friend recommended I see Andrea and I'm so happy I did! She's a great listener and makes sure you're very comfortable with everything she's going to do. She's fun, super sweet and friendly, not to mention hilarious. Plus my hair looks amazing and I get complimented on it more than I ever did with my previous stylist. Love her to pieces! read more
