At the end of the year, I decided I wanted to get a haircut after having long hair for at least six years. For various reasons, I put it off, but one of the biggest excuses was not knowing who to trust when getting my hair done. After looking around for a bit for a hair stylist, I decided to trust Azucena to turn my hair into a chin length bob. Her salon happened to be in Mission Valley where I live. I was a little nervous because my hair hasn't been this short in years, but she did an amazing job! Such a relaxing and pleasant experience from the moment I walked in. Azucena is very central in San Diego and I believe is worth making an appointment for. It is so important to seek out a stylist with good talent and skill! Azucena's talent is super diverse and can do whatever you ask her with your hair! read more

The best Hair Dresser in Fredericks and Michael's is Maria. She does an outstanding job every time she's welcoming and great customer service. I've been going to her for years. Highly recommend Maria. read more

The salon has a very welcoming and comfortable environment, decorated with christmas trees. I asked for a copper red and my hair looks exactly like my inspo photo now. I cannot recommend Azucena enough! She is incredibly talented at what she does, but her passion for hair styling truly shines through in every appointment. Azucena takes the time to listen to your vision and provides expert advice to ensure you leave feeling confident and fabulous. I love my hair! My stylist Azucena is friendly and professional, always goes the extra mile to make sure you're happy with the results. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, creative, and genuinely cares about their clients, Azucena is your girl! read more

I have had such a roller coaster ride of experiences when it comes to stylists and my hair. And to say the least I have been extremely skeptical, and untrusting of anyone even touching my hair. It has been 2 years since i've stepped into a salon. Yesterday, I had the complete and utter pleasure of having my hair transformed by stylist, Zach Domenico. From beginning to end, the customer service I received was nothing short of top notch. Every step of the way Zach explained why he was doing what he was doing, and asked me for input when it was necessary. I had a color and cut appointment and I sincerely appreciated the time Zach took to really UNDERSTAND what I wanted. I mean, no pressure, just 100% focus on customer satisfaction. It was refreshing. From casual conversation, and informative hair care tips, to refreshments and a good laugh or two... Zach has truly got you covered. I have never been THIS satisfied with a salon or a stylist IN MY LIFE. (See picture) I will be recommending Zach to my family and friends from here on out. Can't wait to go back! P.s. Also doesn't hurt that he's handsome, smells good and provides stimulating conversation :) read more

I purchased a Groupon for a full body sugar scrub and what a great treat. I came out feeling soft as a baby. The masseuse was very professional. She took her time massaging in the sugar scrub and wiping off with warm towels. After completing each section of my body she rubbed in a wonder oil that complemented the scrub. The room was private, pleasant and inviting. I felt at ease after disrobing and lying covered on the table. When the masseuse entered the room she asked if I was comfortable and proceeded to play relaxing music. I was so cozy I fell asleep half way through the scrub. I highly recommend for anyone who wants that soft, silky and relaxing feeling. I've already scheduled scrub number 2! read more

I've been going to John (Janusz- Ya noosh) for the past 8 years. He always listens to what I want and will tell me his very honest opinion. I will only let him give me highlights no one else. I had a friend that tried to go blond all by herself. She ruined her hair. I told her about Janusz but, she went with a referral from a guy (that doesn't color his hair) and HIS guy made it worse! She looked like an orange skunk! I took her to Janusz and he had his work cut out for him. She left his salon a very gorgeous blond and she was thrilled. I used to drive from San Marcos to Hillcrest where his old salon was. Parking was really horrible but, it was always worth it. He's recently moved to a gorgeous salon with ample parking! It's a lot easier to get to as well. I recently went to see Janusz to get some zip in my dooh-dah! I've had people ask if I lost weight. I'm convinced it was the hair-cut/style! read more

I came and saw Min for my first Japanese perm. I already left a separate review for her and it is definitely five stars. The salon itself is also five stars. The vibe here is wonderful and relaxed. They have coffee and it one time someone had ordered food and I was offered some. You can tell that there are a lot of regular clients coming in as everyone was treated like family members or long time friends. Families with kids came in and there is plenty of comfortable places to sit. Everyone here was extremely friendly and the salon is huge and very clean. I was here for five hours getting my hair done and I was having a good time just people watching. I loved my time here! read more

Although when I got there the person I originally booked with was over booked and could not take me Shan B. Did have space for me and did an amazing job!! I loved my hair. I did try booking with her again but she was no longer listed on my booking app. read more

Love this place so much! Freddie has been doing my hair for years and is absolutely amazing!! Everyone there, from staff to client, is super friendly and funny! They really make you feel at home! Great atmosphere and general vibe! read more

Freddy is the best. Any of the hair stylists here are fantastic because Freddy approves! The salon is massive and beautifully done. Not to mention they have an amazing espresso machine & they make the best lattes. The service is worth every penny. They are amazing! read more

This isn't the first hairdresser review I've left on Yelp, but I sure hope it's the last. What's happened before is I find a hairdresser and they do a good job the first time or two, then they perform a series of poor haircuts that cause me to have to leave and find a new person, which is hard because my hair is not that easy to cut. My friend Tracy recommended her stylist, John Meehan, at Frederick Michael. Upon arrival (parking was scarce due to the gym, but the salon is cavernous and therefore doesn't stink of manicure chemicals) I showed John a photo of Katherine McPhee, who had her hair in a semi-short do, like somewhere between a pixie and a bob. "So is a boyfriend or husband going to be after me for cutting off your hair?" John asked as we got ready. "Eh," I said. "My husband likes my hair short-- and it's not really gonna be that short." And then he made the first cut-- short-- very short-- above my ear. Well, what to do? He can't glue hair back on. Honestly, I was so shocked I didn't know if I liked it or not. I liked that my head felt cooler and that he had put almost no product in it and yet it was completely manageable. But I just wasn't expecting it. I was like one of those people on a makeover show who wasn't expecting their hair to get quite so cut off. I said it was shorter than I thought it would be and he apologized. It took me about an hour to get used to it-- and it is actually the greatest haircut I have ever had! It takes 2 minutes to dry and style. My hair has never been so manageable. The bangs are perfect and didn't need a trim in between cuts. I have to do almost no combing when I wake up. Everybody loves it. I look years younger and 10 pounds thinner. So basically John is a genius and you should probably just sit down and let him do what he wants. read more

I'm one of Lorena's returning clients and I just have to say that every time I return, I get the same excellent service as the first time we met. Normally hair stylists get comfortable and begin to lack in the service department. Well, not Lorena. She's kind, friendly and very professional. Every time I am given the proper attention, not to mention how absolutely stunning my hair looks. I highly recommend her and will continue to return. You need asking for Lorena read more

Freddy has been going my hair for almost 20 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my haircuts. Very convenient and centrally located salon in the heart of san diego. It's one of the most spacious salons which allows for a great friendly atmosphere. There's always someone at the shop that is able to help you. read more

Came back recently 'cause it's been awhile since my last cut and color. Yet another fantastic job well done! **feigning shocked surprise** Heehee. As if there was any doubt ;) See you again next yearJan! read more

I used Freddie to do my hair for my wedding. I was getting nervous with all the recent talk about Freddie and military weddings, and sometimes not showing up on time. I called him about once a week during the few weeks leading up to the wedding because I was nervous. We got ready in his salon, and since it was July 4, we had the entire place to ourselves. We brought in food, and just relaxed on comfy couches in several sitting areas. Freddie showed up early, did 8 girls hair with no complaints or problems. He was fun to talk to, and was nice when someone spilled Jamba Juice all over. Also he allowed my makeup person to work in his salon, too. We had a great time, and we were all happy with our hair. I know people say Freddie isn't a people person-- but he was very personable with us. Most importantly, our hair looked great, held up for the day of the wedding, and was incredibly affordable. read more

First time here and I loved it... Rabih cut my hair and he is amazing. I've known him for years but he has never cut my hair and he did a great job, so great that I have gotten compliments left and right. I'll be back to the salon only for him. If you need color, cuts and what not, ask for him. read more

Freddy has been doing my hair for almost a decade. He is the ONLY stylist I've had that has been able to keep my hair blonde without it getting fried and falling out. My hair is the longest it's been since I was. Kid and it's because of him. It's also a BEAUTIFUL blonde. When ever I wanted to show him a picture on Pinterest of how I wanted me hair, he's nailed it. Even when I wanted it bright red :) I also got my eyelashes done by Elizabeth. I can't even feel them, they feel so natural! They look amazing though, my husband keeps complimenting on how good I look ;) read more

Mariana always does an amazing job with my eyelash extensions! When I first started going to her, I was new to getting lash extensions so I was unsure of the kind of volume/length I wanted.

I was a walk-in client. I was immediately greeted by the owner Freddie, who was nothing but helpful and extremely polite. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire building. He is obviously attentive and compliant with the COVID-19 guidelines. Which made me feel more at ease. I've searched for many years for good hairstylist (I know all us girls have) and I believe I found it here at Frederic Michael Salon. Overall an exceptional experience from start to finish. read more

I have been a long time client of Mariana for 5 years. She is so so sweet and a expert at what she does. I always get the hybrid lashes with her and get my eyebrows waxed. Best prices in town! read more

I've never written any review , but I couldn't help myself ! I have to tell everyone how talented Rose Keller is! She did hairstyle for me for some event that I was attending that day, and she was the only one among all of the hairstylists that could work with my long straight hair! We tried few different styles and I decided to go with curled style for my event.She did such a wonderful job ! She was very meticulous and professional, a lot of her colleagues would come over and stare at her work , because it was that Good!!! I'm so happy that I found her , she is the gem , I got so many compliments that night , I felt like a Hollywood star , even my husband noted that it was the most beautiful hairstyle that I've ever had since I've met him . I totally recommend her , she is amazing , super talented and with her magic hands she will make you look like a superstar! I forgot to mention that her price list is very affordable and I already booked an appointment with her to do some highlights:) read more

I came to the salon to see Rose. She is a perfectionist! I've been to Rose twice for trials to nail down my wedding hair, and I have full confidence in her for my wedding day :). I can't wait to update my review with professional photos of her amazing work!! The first trial we spent the bulk of the time curling my hair. She curled my hair and set it with pins. When we let the pins out, she realized that while my hair would look lovely and curly for the next hour or two, it probably wouldn't hold for much longer than that (despite copious amounts of hairspray!). Instead of finishing my hairstyle and letting me go, she completely re-curled my hair a different way, determined to figure out how to get my finicky thin hair to hold a curl. She wanted to make sure she knew how to make my curls last all through my wedding day! My first trial lasted FOUR hours, and honestly it was a pleasure working with her the entire time. She is smart, funny, and completely in love with her profession. Once she got the curls to stay (and they looked amazing!) she created a beautiful 1/2 up-do look. I came back for a second trial because I wasn't 100% sure I was sold on the 1/2 up-do part of the hair. This was more of a communication error on my part. I wanted to try another style or two, since we had spent the bulk of the first trial on curling my hair. She tried a couple of styles, and I ended up LOVING one with braids (which I totally didn't think I wanted! I have no idea what I'm doing :P). It just felt easier and more natural. Rose is a patient lady, I'll give her that, haha. Overall, I could not recommend her more. She is professional, she cares about her clients, and she is not out for your money. She wants you to look and feel good, and she wants to do her job well. You will not get better service anywhere else. ROSE IS YOUR GIRL. :) read more

This review is specifically for Rose Keller! I was fortunate enough to have Rose style my hair for a wedding I attended this month. Words cannot describe what a remarkable job she did. My hair is dry and thinned out so I was impressed with how she was able to make my hair look so thick and voluptuous. My curls lasted through an entire evening of dancing without wilting or losing it's shape. Rose is very detailed oriented and meticulous with her work - ensuring that every last hair is in it's perfect place. I received many compliments about my hair from other guests at the wedding that night. I highly recommend Rose with all your hair styling needs. She is immensely talented and a pleasure to work with. She will make you look gorgeous!!! read more

So he did give me a free wedding trial, but it would've been nice to at least get some respect. I made an appointment, but he was 30 minutes late for my appointment. Then when he took me to the chair there was hair all over the floor. As I was explaining the hair styles I wanted for the wedding, he was yawning and not even apologizing for yawning. He then told me that I would have to come to the salon for the hair style I wanted rather than travel to me for my wedding day. Since then, I've found out I don't really need to do that. While he was doing my hair he burned my head 3 times, each time not being just a little burn, but really like digging the curler on my scalp. After I left the salon, my friend asked me if I got a hair cut as well. I told her I didn't. She told me I was covered in hair. I looked down and sure enough I was covered in someone else's hair. Totally gross! He was also supposed to do my friend's hair for her wedding this past weekend. But he didn't even show up. Thankfully, she had a backup plan. read more

So my daughter ( 14 years old) wanted to do the " big chop". She has been transitioning to her natural hair for two years and struggling to coakes her curls back to life without much success. Too much previous heat damage. So she said to me: "Mom, it has to go. I want a fresh start and a pixie cut but you have to find me someone with natural hair experience." By " Shear luck" I found one hair dresser that was kind and professional enough to refer me to the legendary Cutis V. He actually is a hair legend. I didn't know I was in the presence of a legend but if you are lucky enough to score an appointment with him you can get that story first hand. So I get his info. He works at this massive salon but has his own private suit with really beautiful art work from his artist girlfriend. I grab my daughter and we just show up in the hopes of being able to get a quick consultation. Not sure what kind of lucky stars were shining upon us but not only did we get to have a consultation with him but he gave us an for the following day. We thanked our lucky stars and Curtis. Btw. It was labor day weekend and my daughter's last weekend before her first day of high school. Well, to make a long story not too long, this gentleman surpassed our expectations on every level. A true artist and professional. He is the kind of hairdresser that hairdresser go to. I know because I used to be one, which I didn't share with him. Sneaky.. I know. He sculpted my daughter's hair into shape or perfection I should say while keeping a full house entertained. I debated long and hard if I should share this gem with Yelp but I know sharing is caring. Plus in my search for a stylist I found out how difficult it is to find a curly hair specialist here in in SoCal, the land of blow outs and extensions. Curtiv V is the real deal and a rare talent. Looking forward to a long and prosperous hairlationship. Long live the Curtis V. read more

This review is specifically for the salon, not the hair stylist. Part of me wants to rate this place better bc they have a $7k coffee machine that spits out whatever cafe-related drink you desire much like the food simulators on Star Trek. And they have food. I love food. But I didn't come here for food. What really bugged me about this place was that out of the what, 50? hairstylists working there, none of them bothered to acknowledge me waiting there because they knew I wasn't their client. I even smiled directly at a couple of them, they made eye contact, and just kept walking and going about their business. What the F? Eventually, after several snubs, one person finally realized I must not have been there before and was looking for my hairstylist. Hairstylist I went to was nice but it was pricey and it just didn't justify having the effort to go to some massive hair stylist pen. I guess I could try one of the 49 other ones but why bother? read more

I am african american with kinky curly hair so it's tricky for most people to get it just the way I want it. I found this salon on yelp, as I just moved to San Diego 2 weeks ago and was in desperate need of a stylist. Kelly Kelly Kelly. Go to Kelly!! She is the sweetest stylist, great with customers, very spunky and upbeat. She knew exactly what she was talking about with color and I came out with the most beautiful light chocolate hair, and went in with black roots and light blonde all over the rest of my head. It is so hard to find a good stylist who you trust and knows how to treat your hair. She was patient and made sure I left happy. I cannot wait to come back to this salon thank you so much Kelly read more

My original hairdresser wasn't available so I came here. I called four days ahead and was scheduled for a sew-in at 9 on Saturday. I didn't really get seen till 11ish due to another client changing her mind about what she wanted (I don't blame the stylist for that.) I'm transitioning, so I didn't really know what to do with my hair. I should've taken a "before" pic, bc I looked rough and I knew it. The stylist took her took time and was very thorough with everything she did. It was a longer process than usual, but the end result was BOMB! I loved it! Shan did a fabulous job. I will definitely comeback. (&They offer mani/pedis, brows, lashes and make-up and a little massage therapy I think) Overall, I can honestly say it was absolutely worth the wait! read more

Frederick Michael Salon - My A1 Sew-In By Shan @Frederick Michael Salon.. 06/07/14 - Waxing Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been in San Diego since 2007 trying to find a hair stylist. It's not that I'm picky about my hair or anything, but I change my hair pretty frequently and haven't found a place that's done such a fantastic job that I always want to go there. The time has come for me to say that I found a stylist! Thank goodness for meeting new people who can introduce you to other people. I was so excited to meet someone that does hair. My hair was dyed ombre back in December at the Carlton Hair Salon in Fashion Valley. I was happy with it at the time, but it was bleached because it was dyed dark before. The mistake was going back there a second time to redo and darken the ombre. The entire thing faded badly and was so brassy. It bothered me so much. I take great care with my hair, but I was not okay the second I noticed random ends starting to split. Luckily, I was able to set up an appointment with Daniele a few weeks ago at the Fredrick Michael Salon. She was able to see me after work on a Friday! The salon and the workers are cute because I remember music playing, and you can hear them singing along with the songs :-) As for my salon experience, we dyed my hair dark brown and closer to my natural hair color to fix the pesky brassiness in my hair and trimmed my hair with bangs. I hardly say this whenever I get a haircut, but I adore the cut she gave me. Most of the time I have to wait two weeks to even like a cut. I was basically able to fix my hair the next day with no problems or annoyances with my hair. It's even growing out in a way that doesn't bother me at all. Daniele was very detailed-orientated when she did my hair. She wanted to make sure that the color deposited because my ends were bleached before. She also wanted to be sure I was completely happy with how my hair turned out after the cut with the length and everything overall. She is the sweetest, and I would totally recommend her to anybody looking to get their hair done! read more

I was having a hair emergency as my hair was bright red and that is NOT how it was supposed to turn out. After searching for a stylist that was available asap via Salon Seat, I found Reneé and booked an appointment about three hours out. I showed up and the salon was beautiful and huge! I didn't even know it was there. I explained what I wanted and Reneé got right to work making my brassy red mess a beautiful brown to blonde ombré. I am not sure how she did it and I don't care. I just know I love it she saved my hair and I will be back! read more

This salon is nice, spacious, lots of fun people to talk to, it's clean and they have delightful beverages to offer you while you're getting your hair done. I've also heard camels have been known to make an appearance around the salon! However this review is more for my stylist who I followed from another salon. Her name is Sharon and she is a spunky little redhead who has been doing my hair for many years now. Sharon fixed my hair after I had a terrible color job and my hair was very unhappy. Sharon has always done a great job no matter what color or style I am wanting! She is is also very time efficient which is a plus for me. Highly recommend Sharon Hager for anyone looking for a new hair stylist! read more

I went to Frederick Michael's salon today to visit a stylist named Shan who I've seen off & on for years. Prior to my appointment today I asked her the cost and she told me $45. I had a 9:30 am appt but she texted me and said she's running a few minutes late but didn't arrive until 9:53 am Also she was rotating me and 2 other clients so I ended up being there for 3 hours. At the end I confirmed the price and she said it was $75, I said what happened to $55, she told me she had to wash my hair... Excuse me it's called and wash and blow dry. How unprofessional. This is why I go to LA usually to get my hair done because Shan showed me her true u professionalism today. I'll NEVER return!! read more

Went in to Check out Freddie's skills as I am hiring him to do my hair for my wedding as well. He's got a great personality and has been doing hair for years. I got my hair highlighted and trimmed (although he jokingly threatened to cut it all off) - and I'm going back for more. He did a great job on the highlights - I'm picky because I hate when it looks CHUNKY. but he did make a comment about how much darker my natural color is. Now i"m thinking of going back for another color treatment. It's so affordable, I'm not hesitating. read more

I can't say enough good things about Freddy. Here's the deal. If you are a good person. Then you'll see him as a good person. There's no doubt in my mind, that the bad reviews on here partially due to the bad attitudes and the expectations that you can treat a stylist with disrespect just b/c you're paying them for a service. I get, color, cut and keratine treatments from him, and he's always MORE than ccomadting to my awkward work schedule. I've been in his chair at 2am finishing my hair. He's amazing! My hair is who I am (sad but oh so true) and I trust it to one guy.... Freddy. read more

Best facial experience I've had, hands down!!!!! Tina Minaeva, is not in this business to make a quick buck like most facialists now. She is an overachiever who wholeheartedly invests as much sweat and tears as she possibly can during your session, so much so that she will stay past your appointment's scheduled end time. She is incredibly warm, sincere and personable. Besides her kind personality and calm demeanor, she is also great at what she does!!! She is more than qualified to serve as your face's personal sanitarian who will dig deep into your face's every pore and crevice to remove dirt, oil and excess sebum. Every visit is great, she really makes a difference in how my skin looks. Tina really knows skin and how to effectively treat different people. All of the products that she refers are great. Thank you Tina for being amazing! Can't wait for my next appointment :) read more

I've been to Freddy twice now for an updo. Both times my hair looked better than I imagined. Freddy's magic fingers does wonders. The first time I brought in a pic of a soft updo and when he was done, my hair looked EXACTLY like the picture. The second time (yesterday) I told him I wanted another soft updo but left everything else up to him. The staff is fun and really takes care of their customers. I will always go to Freddy for an updo.. as long as he's available and will take me. My normal hairdresser is a good friend so I can't ever leave her but even she has said that Freddy is the best for updos. You will not be disappointed. read more
