    Cut and blowout

    I love David!! First time there, just wanted a cut and blow out. He knew exactly how to cut my hair & is helping me on my long hair journey (: He is very sweet, fun and knows what he is doing!

    Short layers framing the face but keeping the longer length

    First time getting my hair done by this hair wizard!! We did a cut and B3 treatment ($100), my hair is silky soft & super healthy! I loved that he was able to keep the length but layer it up and cut my dead ends off! Prior to him, my last hair cut was 2.5 years ago! I am sooo satisfied!! He also is a very nice guy and has a lot of great stories to tell! I felt like I already knew him in that hour and half session!

    Great b3 treatment n blowout

    So happy the infamous Celebrity Stylist is back in town! He is in the Del Mar plaza which is the perfect place for a stylist of his caliber. He has been doing this forever, is Sassoon trained, and specializes in Hair Extensions. He likes to work with Great Lengths as well as Hot Heads, both 100% real Human Hair! He does this B3 treatment that leaves your hair so silky smooth. It restores the health of your hair in one treatment. He also rocks a cool blow dry! David has decided to give back by holding classes on the weekend to fresh out of Beauty School students so that they can learn what they aren't able to in school. It will allow them to be more marketable right out of school. The space is cool, elegant and simple. His space has a large window that looks out onto the patio on the Plaza's second floor. Great light. Did I mention that David is also a Master Colorist? For those of you who get highlights or wants to change your color, you know how important it is to find someone who really knows color! It is literally priceless. Please, go see him- you won;t be disappointed. He is super friendly and so approachable too. No heirs about him at all. I have also been a stylist for over 30 years so I know a bit of what I'm talking about ;)

    Love my new cut & color by David Perez! Even on a rainy day, my curls hung in there. :) My favorite stylist!

    *Love* my hair cut & color! David Perez is a genius with color. Today, he whipped up a beautiful mahogany/ brunette color for me. He custom-blended 4 colors to perfectly match my skin tone and eye color, and to add shine + depth to my hair. He finished with a long, slightly-layered haircut, which gave my hair body and bouncy movement. (My hair is fine & wavy in texture.) The result is beautiful. Love it! The La Jolla Salon is in a great location to grab lunch and shop. I can't wait to see the new Del Mar Salon location!! David has been styling my hair for many years & he's the only one I trust to cut/color my hair! Plus, he is so outgoing & personable, he makes the appointments just plain fun. :)

    I am changing my review on David Perez because he has been very unprofessional and has taken advantages me because of my profession and my genuine kindness. I have overpaid him because he has made me feel I have no other choice. I have tried to put his disrespectful unprofessional behavior aside, even my hair falling out aside. David is a con artist not a hair artist. He has Solon in a very prestigious location and preys on women as they walk past storefront booth. I have tried to overlook my opinion for six months because I am a loyal customer and did not want to go elsewhere for my services, mostly for convince and because he is very good at making you feel like he is the best. I was a fool to fall for his act. I did not want to write this review but feel I can not let others fall in the same experience I have had. He asked me to write a review for him when I went to him the first time and did because I care about his people and thought he did a good job. Since then he has over bleached my hair and my extensions have continued to fall out almost every day! I continued to go in and replace them and was charged for the repairs even though I paid 1500 for my extensions. In 5 months I paid at least 3000+ dollars not including tips! I now have multiple bald spots and my hair is in much worse condition then I ever imagined. My job requires me to look a certain way and he has taken advantage of my situation. He knows how much I make and continued to solicit me to invest in his real estate business every time I went in. He hit on me each and every time and also made me feel very uncomfortable. He talked about my personal life and appearance to friends I referred to him and has also made them feel uncomfortable as well. After all of this I still went to him and just desperately wanted to have him help me. I have willingly overpaid him and put aside his unprofessional behavior because I didn't want to offend him and felt he was worth the battle. I made a mistake and have to warn customers of his behavior and of his overall False overpriced service. I have found a new salon where I pay half the price and my hair is actually not falling out! He had me believing it was my fault and all along he was damaging my hair. Had I continued to go to David I may have had to get a wig or discontinue getting hair extensions. I am very upset with the way he treated me but glad that found another place and also thrilled I do not have to take his abuse any longer. I hope he will be more professional in his future clientele.

    After reading all the awesome reviews about David I had to see what the hype was about. I was looking for a color change and have had an extra hard time finding someone who could do my long curly hair in a timely and professional manner. All of the pictures I saw on his reviews looked great so I took the plunge called and David answered promptly and professionally we set up for the next day at 4. What a great time I had!!! David is a great guy puts off great vibes his salon is very professional and clean and parking is close by. He will be my go to from now on!! He did an awesome job on my hair and not only that I found out so much about him and his many business adventures!! He truly knows how to give great customer service and really takes the time to understand what style and color your looking for!!His personalization is out of this world!!

    Finding a hairstylist is like finding a needle in a haystack. It's hard finding a stylist that…read moreunderstands how to texture, cut and style Asian hair. I have fine dense hair and I've gone from a ton of layers to various styles but she was able to cut & style it in a way that is super low maintenance yet easy to dry. I would highly recommend Rebecca. She is incredibly talented, funny and her hands are like magic. This is my 2nd time and I booked a hair treatment previously which made my hair super silky and shiny. Her head massages are otherworldly. She even has cute business cards. The salon is hidden away tucked behind the flower hill shopping center. The salon is so beautiful and it felt like I was getting my hair done by a good friend of mine. She is so incredibly talented I couldn't recommend her enough.

From the very beginning, we shared a few laughs, and she gave the most incredible head massage. It set such a relaxing, positive tone for the entire experience, and I already felt so cared for before we even started the cut. As soon as she began working on my hair, I could tell I was in amazing hands. The techniques she used showed such skill and intention--I could actually see the vision coming together, which gave me so much confidence and trust in her. That meant a lot to me. When she asked to style my hair at the end, I was genuinely impressed by how much she cared about every detail. I absolutely loved how my hair turned out, and I felt so good walking out of the salon. Beyond her talent, I'm truly grateful for how comfortable and welcomed she made me feel. The conversation flowed so naturally, and the whole atmosphere was warm and inviting. As a first-time client, that meant everything to me. You can also tell she uses high-quality products, which I really appreciate. Kortnie truly went above and beyond with my haircut. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted, then elevated it into something even better than I imagined. She was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented, making sure the length was exactly right to bring everything together perfectly. I felt like she genuinely cared about getting it just right for me. On top of all that, she's kind, warm, and a true professional. I'm honestly so thankful I found her. If you're looking for someone who not only knows hair but truly listens and cares about your experience, Kortnie is absolutely the person to go to. Thank you so much, Kortnie! See you in a few months.

    I am fairly particular when it comes to finding the right salon and hair stylist - I typically go a…read moretime or two then fall off the face of the earth because I'm not happy with the work, but since discovering Tracy at Solara Salon (formally Haim Salon) I am back on a regular routine and have never been happier with my hair. Solara is located on the middle level of the Del Mar Plaza - with an attached parking garage so there's no need to fight for street parking. Bonus - parking is validated at the salon. My husband actually started seeing Tracy for his haircuts before I came in, and he had glowing reviews. Soon after, I made my first appointment and there was no turning back. Tracy took the time to really understand what I was looking for and my overall goals for my hair and hair care routine. One of the most important steps which is often overlooked by stylists is letting the client know if their expectations are realistic, healthy for your hair and the maintenance in keeping up your preferred style - Tracy didn't skip a beat and I knew from the jump what my upkeep needed to be. We have since built a relationship where she just knows what I'm looking for and I trust that my hair is going to look amazing. And it's the perfect blonde! Looking to make a change and find a new stylist / salon - I can't recommend Tracy and the ladies at Solara Salon enough! You'll walk out feeling like a million bucks!

    I'm not one to leave negative reviews but I feel inclined to share my experience here. I got a cut…read moreand color from Katee and while the color was fine (though not much different than what I started with), I am very unhappy with the cut. I have long hair and always get a subtle cut with long layers which I emphasized to her prior to any cut being done. Truly not a crazy or difficult request. I told her that my hair needs to be long enough to all fit into a ponytail or top knot bun and she said yes definitely. Thinking back now she never asked me how short I wanted the layers to be at their shortest, which every stylist has always asked in the past. Regardless, the subtle haircut I wanted ended up as more of a chop with a weird section of blunt short layers in the front that look truly awful. They do not blend well and are too short to stay in a ponytail when pulled back. I gave it a couple weeks to see if things would even out after the freshness of the cut wore off, but it still looks just as bad and I'm devastated knowing it'll take so long for these pieces to grow back. She told me that she guarantees her work but she can't make my hair grow back and I'm not trying to cut more.. I expected more from a senior stylist with senior stylist level prices. $420 later for a cut I'm unhappy with and color that looks about the same as before. And minus another $18 for parking because she did not validate my card correctly I guess and I had to pay. The vibe of the salon is fine, the people who work there seem to be nice, but I would not recommend this stylist. One other issue I had was that I booked for a cut and partial balayage to stick within a budget I was comfortable with. Katee ended up doing a full balayage and charging me accordingly (appropriately so)- but the issue is that before rendering the service she did not ask for approval (or even tell me) that she was going to do full instead which lacked professional transparency in the context of such an expensive service. Note: the photos emphasize the cut but the color is not true to life due to the indoor lighting where I took the pics.
