Anamarie Q.

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.

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.

The most perfect ombré ever!! So happy!!

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.

Andrea is awesome! I gave her the difficult task of turning my damaged dark brown hair into a beautiful blonde balayage! She is fast and reasonably priced! Also uses Olaplex for those worried about damaging their hair, do not fret :)

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!

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.

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!!!!!!

Chopped off so much hair! I couldn't be happier with this cut!
Sara B.

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.

The latest chapter in my hair novel that Andrea is authoring!
Ryan G.

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!

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!

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.

Since I had box dye in my hair, he informed me it would be an extra $70 for a color correction. After getting price estimates from other salons, this seemed like a decent price for my budget. I did my research and looked over his website, Yelp reviews, etc. and the photos impressed me and led me to believe he would produce the balayage I wanted. I didn't mind the price for everything I was getting. I sent David photos of how I wanted my hair a few months before I scheduled the appointment. I have been saving up money and planning this treatment for five months which is perhaps why I'm so upset about the original results from my first appointment. When I walked in he briefly welcomed me and then immediately asked me what I wanted done. Since I've been planning this treatment for so long I had a Pinterest album of similar balayages (not to mention he already had the photo in our thread). He took one glance and got started which made me nervous but I trusted him as a professional. Throughout the treatment there was no communication regarding color, length cut, or anything like that. We sat in silence for 80% of my 3 hr. appointment. We made small talk and I asked him about after care, what he was putting in my hair, etc. He curled my hair and when I turned around and saw my hair for the first time I noticed it was WAY lighter than I expected, but I did like it. I left the salon happy. But I never curl my hair so when I saw it natural (wavy/straight), I could see how messy and amateur it looked. There were chunks reaching up to my roots and he basically dyed the bottom half of my hair a rainbow of blonde colors. NOT a balayage. I left a short review on the website and he text me shortly after with a long reply. I sent him photos of how my hair looked and the photo I originally sent him of what I wanted. He offered to fix it for free, so I went back in. Before my appointment he text me to confirm and said "Would be great if you could take down your review," but I'm glad I waited until after the second appointment to review him again. This time the communication was better, however now that a day has passed I see that my hair is still not where I want it to be since he bleached the whole bottom half and effectively made it difficult to achieve a balayage with just toner. I do understand that I did tell David I liked my hair in the salon because at that point I was fed up and wouldn't bother to have him fix it since he already comped this appointment and spent his time fixing it. Overall it looks much better now and is healthy after I cut 4 inches off (which I did to get rid of the dead bleached hair), but I am still going to get it fixed by another hair dresser. Not only that but I asked him for long layers in my hair cut but my hair is all one length. At the end of the day, if you go to David, just make sure you are clear about what you want because otherwise from what I can tell in other reviews he is a good hairdresser.

During the consultation, she told me that my blonde highlights got darker because of "mineral buildups" in my hair from hard water, and she recommended to do a "CPR treatment" following by applying a toner to bring back the blond color (which highlights got darker and more yellow over time). She said that this treatment plan would make my highlights lighter and blonder again. I made the actual appointment, when the proposed treatment was done. After 30 minutes of sitting under the heat with the treatment applied, she washed out the "CPR treatment" 3 times!!!, scrubbing my scalp and later she told me (when I had the skin reaction) that she used a PH 9 shampoo, which is apparently (I'm reading now about it) harsh, and is disruptive to the hair and scalp. Then, she applied the toner, then a leave-in conditioner, that needed to be washed out due to some skin reaction. When she was working on washing it out, she scrubbed my scalp so viguorusly, that I screamed from pain to stop her doing it so harshly. Later in the afternoon, I started to feel an inflammatory type of severe pain on the back of my scalp. It got worse since yesterday and I don't know what really happened to my scalp, skin, tissue, or nerve, but whatever injury happened, it is extremely painful. Regarding the result of the treatment, nothing that promised was achieved, my hair feels like it got a little darker and making my highlights blonder didn't happen. Kayla told me after drying my hair that she was surprised that her treatment plan didn't work on my hair. What is much worse than not achieving the promised result is the severe pain on the back of my scalp.
