I've been going to see Amanda Z, the owner, for years now and couldn't be happier. I let her to…read morewhat she wants and my hair always comes out amazing. We switch up the colors constantly and my hair is never in worse shape because of it. We have a great time sitting and chatting for the hours I am there. I've also gotten my hair done from the other stylists there, they are all so talented. I would recommend getting an appointment with any of the stylists, but they are busy so make sure to double check with them and not just walk in. The place is covered in plants and has dark green accents. The aesthetic is amazing. It's also right next to a coffee shop/bakery that you can always stop into during a long appointment.

She fried the sides of my hair and gave me hot roots. The three times I went there ( I gave her…read morethree chances) every single time she missed parts of the coloring on the side so there was always White and the bleached areas that were supposed to be pink or purple or green or whatever. It should have been a red flag to me when during my initial consultation she didn't see one of the sides of my hair and wanted to charge me $20 for dying a strip hot pink so I said "so that's going to be $40" and she goes "what are you talking about?" I said "well I have both sides dyed" and then she goes "oh I didn't even see the other side" after she fully examined my hair she didn't even notice the right side. The second time she gave me the most amazing blowout I felt the color looks good but as soon as I checked it out on the car I noticed there was white showing on the hot pink areas again. I have some of the vibrant color at home and I've been touching it up after the visits because I can't keep going back to that area. You can order the vibrant colors on Amazon. I initially bought a Groupon for her and she was in North Park for the Groupon according to the Groupon. But when I went to she her to schedule because no one returned my phone calls and I live close by, I found out she hadn't been at that salon for over a year. I decided to try out her salon based on reviews and made the treck to her salon which took me 20 minutes. So that was a bit of a bait and switch on the Groupon. She was very nice but I have no confidence in her skills and even though she refunded me the last time, I'm actually pretty upset about how damaged it is right now.

I have never once left there and not gotten compliments from total strangers. Highlights, lowlights, ... now starting to cover grey shhh! One time, I gave her info to everyone who saw my hair and said something, and when I called to tell her she told me she was getting a lot of calls. So I'm not making this up. My hair looks great when she's done!! This time I gave her a real challenge! I was going to have fun and it took a couple days and lot of laughs while we chatted. But she colored my hair what we call the Blue Phoenix. And it's Awesome is an understatement! I'm so happy and excited!!

My hair has always been thick, ever since I got a perm years ago as a child. Always had the same boring dark hair and as I got older, I started experimenting with purple/burgundy dyes. I loved that look for a while, but this time I wanted to go lighter. I was not about to do it myself so I went to the pros at A Salon Paul Mitchell. The entire process took about 3.5 hours, with the foiling taking up a whole 2. Since I've been going to Amy for years, it wasn't boring...we always have stuff to talk about! After the foiling, I sat under the heater for a while, then she washed me out, dried and styled my hair. She only uses the best products, so I know my mane is always healthy and never dried out. I highly recommend her and the rest of her staff if you're looking to get a new 'do. The salon is located in a strip mall near the old Chargers headquarters in San Diego. Some of the players used to come here for their cuts! I never have a problem with parking. Amy and her staff are masked and have taken all necessary precautions to provide a safe environment for all clients during these pandemic days. Prices are pretty competitive here as well. Go on and get that hair lookin' fly! Tell her I sent you! =)

She's especially talented with thick hair - truly one of the best I've found. While I haven't personally used her for color, I've seen her color work on other clients and it's stunning.
