I have been going to Christina for a few years now and I'm sold! She is really awesome at knowing what exactly I want event when I can't fully explain it. She's also very flexible and really sweet to chat with while your getting pampered :) I would highly recommend her! read more

I am so disappointed and so rarely have to update a review like this. I went back to this Salon for another blow out. Full price was $165.00 so with tip it came to $200.00. Christina is so sweet, I really like her BUT my second BB with her was a major major fail. I have been doing the BB treatment since 2010 CONSISTENTLY. I know what a good and bad blow out is. I know what products to use and what NOT to do (go swimming in pool/ocean etc). It's been 3 weeks (I contacted her not even two weeks later), and my BB is non-existent. NON-EXISTENT!! They have always lasted 3-4 months and blow-drying should take much less time and the texture should be SMOOTH. My hair is frizzy, not smooth at all and it took me 45 minutes this morning to blow-dry. I contacted Christina last week to tell her what I was experiencing and sadly - she was not willing to even consider that something went wrong. I KNOW BRAZILIAN BLOW-OUTS and how they should leave my hair. The first time I was in her Salon, I spent nearly $160.00 just on products...and I have been using only BB products since 2010. When I contacted Christina about my hair she went through a list of things to tell me that I may have done wrong (not use sulfate free shampoo, pool, beach etc). I explained and explained that none of that happened and that I had JUST had this done with her. First of all, she left the BB product in my hair at the salon for me to wash out 3-4 days after the appointment. I left for a trip a few days after my appointment (which she knew and is why I needed my hair done that weekend) and had just come back. They are supposed to wash your hair several several times before applying the product to open all the cuticles. The first time she washed my hair 3 times, but this last time - I don't remember her doing that....so I asked - could it be possible that my hair wasn't stripped enough to hold the product (THIS IS THE ONLY POSSIBILITY, NOTHING ELSE WOULD EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED). I would have been a loyal customer FOREVER, returning every few months. There is no way-no how that a new blowout should be this way, if she cared at all about customer satisfaction & her quality of work, she should have at least looked and felt my hair. But instead, she kindly evaded all responsibility. So sadly, I won't be returning. My sister was about to make an appointment for her 2nd BB but not anymore (she couldn't even tell that I had a blowout!). I certainly cannot and will not recommend this salon to my Yelp Friends & Followers. One last thing...this wasn't a big deal at the time but she was so rough with me when she was putting my apron on that she broke my necklace. At the time, I didn't want her to feel badly and it wasn't an expensive piece of jewelry but now I see that as just another contributing factor to her negligence. read more

I am a natural brunette and I wanted to balayage with light blonde. Christina was upfront about the process taking a bit to reach the desired color. She is very thorough and got me to the perfect shade, never looking brassy. I always leave happy with beautiful hair. read more

Since I moved from Brazil (almost 2 years ago) I've been looking for a specialist in balayage and also someone that could "understand" how I like to have my wavy hair cut. After I had been at a fancy place in La Jolla where the result was not bad but was far from the one I wanted, I found Christina and Fleda's Instagram and decided to text her and set just a consultation. Well... we didn't need much talking! She's very kind, attentive and you can see that she has no doubt about what she's talking about. The same way and of course much better was her job when I came back to have my hair done. The place is super clean and comfy, The price is more than fair. And the result is not less than perfect! I highly recommend Fleda Salon and Christina Selkamo! read more

After my previous hairstylist left SD and I was on a never ending string of random Groupon appointments, I finally found Christina a few years ago-she is so great and reliable! I still had virgin hair back then and am by no means a hair expert but she helped me take the leap from simply toning my color to my first balayage and was so happy with her knowledge and reassurance. My hair has never been longer or thicker to boot which is wild! Love finally having someone I can trust and don't have to worry with pressuring me into anything out of my comfort zone since my hair needs are pretty simple. She is also extremely business savvy, ambitious, professional and personable at the same time- I enjoy my time at her new salon even more than at the bigger salons previously. read more

I was recommended to Fleda Salon owner, Christina, several years ago by a friend before she opened Fleda Salon in Hillcrest and I have always been satisfied with her services. She takes time to make recommendations for change whenever I ask and I'm always thrilled with the outcome. I know her specialty is blondes, but I'm a brunette and she nails it every time! :) read more

I have been going to Christina since 3 salons ago and am addicted! She is my go to for the Brazilian Blowout. So happy that she has her own place and love her flexibility with scheduling! I have long hair and was so relieved to finally find a stylist that did want to just chop my hair off. She is beyond patient with my cuts (most would call it a trim or a dusting) and knows the anxiety I go through anytime there are scissors anywhere near my hair. read more

Today was my 2nd Brazilian Blowout and my hair looks and feels amazing. They always do a fabulous job. My hair swag is on point.

I've been getting the BB for a few years now from Christina and I definitely recommend her. She takes her time to ensure she's providing me with a fantastic BB. My hair is naturally frizzy and this has given me the opportunity to have sleek, straight hair - no matter the humidity! read more

Christina has been cutting my hair for almost 5 years. She is super friendly and very easy to communicate with for appointment booking. She does a really thorough job cutting and styling, and I never feel rushed. I have curly hair, not always the easiest to manage, but I always leave her salon feeling like my look is refreshed. Another plus is that her salon is very easy to get to (right off the 163 in Hillcrest). It only takes me 20 minutes from Del Mar. I highly recommend her for all cutting, styling, and Brazilian blowout services! read more

I have been a client of Christina's for about four years now and won't go anywhere else! I am particularly happy with her color expertise. Every time I go in, she adjusts my base color for summer months (lighter, more coppery) and winter months(darker, more walnut) and everything in between. I'm always thrilled and always hear myself saying- 'This is exactly what I had in mind!' She just gets it. My haircuts are awesome as well- I don't do anything crazy but they always grow out evenly and my hair stays looking good at all stages! In addition to Christina's abilities and expertise, she is also a lovely person and I look forward to our appointments and catching up. The whole experience is enjoyable. Give Fleda Salon a try- you will not be disappointed!! read more

Christina is my go to person for the Brazilian Blowout and haircut. My hair has never looked better since she started working on my hair.

Christina is an artist: her skills with colors are uotstanding. Brazilian Blowout will make any hair beautiful; shiny, sapple and healthy.

I had lived out of the country for many years and was used to horrible haircuts. When I returned to San Diego I was lucky enough to meet Christina and have her cut my hair. WOW what a great job. I just had my hair done by her yesterday and had so many compliments on the style and how it just shaped my face. My husband loved it too! I can honestly say she gives the best haircuts I have ever had. I am a client for life. Thanks Christina! I will see you in a few weeks for my next appointment. read more

I love this salon. Christina is an amazing stylist, and she always does a wonderful job with my color. I can't wait to go back for my next appointment, I know my hair is going to look great. I highly recommend her! read more

Went to Christina for a long time for cut/color and loved it. Wanted to try balayage, HUGE, very expensive mistake. She put the blond way too far up toward my roots and also made 2 huge skunk stripes on either side of my head, which I didn't realize until I got home. I texted her immediately and she said she couldn't get me in for 5 days. Then on the day of my appointment (which she could only accommodate in the middle of my work day, costing me even more money) she was over 30 minutes late arriving to her own salon. She then went on to tell me how my hair just "pulled so much color" and refused to admit that it was the PLACEMENT of the color that was the problem. To top it all off, she then posted a passive aggressive instagram post about me, using any "goal" picture that she found that looked like my hair. She says in the post that clients shouldn't expect a balayage to be completed in one session and not to expect your hair to look like someone else's in a picture. She is extremely unprofessional, took no responsibility for her error, and could not be bothered to try and fit me in sooner to make it right. I will NEVER get my hair done by her again. The sign out front saying "we know balayage" is laughable. read more
