I was gifted "The Mermaids Secret", and really had no idea what to expect. After a short consultation, I was educated on my hair and scalp care, and recommendations were made to my needs. Red light therapy and high frequency stimulation was followed by a series of very relaxing scalp and hair treatments, along with a head, neck, shoulder, arm, and hand massage. By the end of this session (about 2 hours), I was in complete relaxation mode. What a treat! If you are looking to be pampered, this is perfect for you. Also, if you can't figure what to get for someone who has everything, this is the perfect gift! Rylee is a gem! 10/10!!!

His work truly shows in the time that goes into the consultation to make sure I get what I want. My roots were extremely grown out, the ends were dry, and the color was brassy. Jorge did his thing and brought my hair back to life! I'm totally comfortable at this salon as I wouldn't normally go to one in downtown. They make sure the door is locked for safety reasons. Downtown is hectic for parking but there are spots across the street and nearby to park for free like I did so. It's really cute and has great lighting inside for taking pictures of your new hair! I love that they offered me a beverage for the long appointment ahead. If you're looking to go blonde, Jorge (insta: boybraids) is your go to!

The right stylist is someone who's not only highly skilled, but also consistent, detail-oriented, and able to perform under pressure. That's exactly who Nicole Alex is. Nicole has been my go-to for haircuts and color for nearly 10 years, and I can honestly say she continues to impress me with her talent and professionalism. I'll admit I'm not the easiest client--my hair is extremely coarse, thick, and often damaged, and I'm not always the most punctual. Despite these challenges, Nicole always treats every appointment with care, patience, and precision. Whether I'm coming in after weeks of being out of town or squeezing in a last-minute session, she never cuts corners . Her work is always meticulous, and the results speak for themselves. I've worked with many stylists over the years, but none have come close to the level of quality and consistency Nicole provides. If you're new to San Diego, visiting, or a local who still hasn't found that one stylist who truly checks all the boxes--look no further. Nicole Alex is the real deal. Once you sit in her chair, you'll understand why I, and so many others, continue to choose her time and time again. She's simply exceptional.

I swear I can walk in with the most random inspiration photo or say, "I want this exact shade of red," and somehow he and his team make it even better than I imagined. Every. Single. Time. I've never left disappointed, and that's saying a lot because I'm VERY picky about my reds. They always turn out rich, vibrant, dimensional, and they stay looking amazing. The entire salon has such a fun, welcoming vibe. His team is full of the sweetest, most talented women who are always so encouraging and excited about whatever color idea I bring in. Not once have I been talked out of something or made to feel silly for wanting to try a new look. Instead, they hype me up, make recommendations, and somehow bring my vision to life while keeping my hair healthy. One thing that has meant so much to me is that I'm active duty military, so my hair has to stay within regulations. He has always been incredibly knowledgeable about what will and won't work, and he makes sure my color is beautiful while still keeping me in regs. He has even offered to recolor my hair free of charge if it ever ended up outside military standards, which, for the record, has literally NEVER happened because he absolutely nails it every time. If you're thinking about booking, just do it. Whether you want subtle, bold, vibrant, or something completely unique, this is the place to go. The talent, the kindness, the professionalism, and the overall experience are honestly unmatched. I can't recommend him and his amazing team enough.
