Both my daughter and I got our hair colored today by stylist Lovely Cruz. I got highlights and my daughter balayage. Lovely took our previously poorly self-colored dark hair and turned us blonde! I chose Freelance based on Yelp and the reviews were right. The salon is comfortable, everyone is friendly and helpful (they even renewed the parking meter for me) and Lovely is a very talented colorist. We will be back!

Phoenix hair

I chose Freelance because they have a sign outside their door with a diagram of all these different haircuts that look like they belong on Anime characters. Coincidentally I got paired with an Asian hairstylist named Lovely and she gave me a cut and color. (Swear it's not a race thing). I wanted orange and she gave me this dope color fade of red-orange-yellow that resembled a Phoenix. My hair looked like it was on . I came back to her a second time for a cut, no color. I gave her simple guidelines and she said, "Ok, how about we do this and this" and showed me a picture example on Google. I said, "Ok, let's do it" and she cut away with confidence. Using her retro '76 razor, she gave me a flawless fade in the back and on the sides. She was mindful of my thick, straight Asian hair and cut accordingly. I got a look now that says I'm gonna catch all the Pokemon and be the best in the world

Hair Color Before & After (Blonde to Red)

Abby has been coloring my hair for about two years now and she is the best hair stylist I've ever had! My hair is naturally blonde and I have it colored red. I can tell Abby does a good job because people are constantly asking me if I'm a natural redhead and I love surprising them when I tell them I'm a blonde! I always look forward to my appointments with Abby. It's like my own little spa time. I have some complimentary wine, I read a couple magazines, and I get an amazing scalp massage when Abby is shampooing my hair. I highly recommend Abby if you're looking for a new hair stylist, especially if you're considering going red!

Beyond business and money, Diane is really PASSIONATE about hair. She really listens to what you want and caters to it. Her hair/head massage when she washes your hair is the best! I would just pay for a head massage if I could!!! When I go in the salon it's like talking to a friend plus they're all just really friendly. I just really enjoyed my time at freelance! I came in with really bad ombré that was grown out and an eye sore. Diane cut and colored and was able to take out the ombré and give me an nice brown with keeping some hidden blonde highlights for dimension. I honestly love it and my hair has been feeling amazing! Go to DIANE!

Love my gorgeous, natural looking ombré ! Ask for Diane. She is the bomb.

Us Asian girls know how hard it is to find a hair stylist that won't chop all of our hair off and get the brassiness out of our hair when trying to go light. Diane is a pro at getting the color right. Her head and neck massage while getting shampooed is the icing on the cake ! I drive down from L.A. to see her and it's worth every road rage incident along the way. The salon is modern and clean, staff is nice, and Diane is the utmost in fun and professional. Tell her JoJo sent ya

Outside of freelance! You can't miss it. Stop by and get a cut from Abbey!!

I have been coming to Freelance the past 4 years. First place I went to after relocating to San Diego and have been coming here ever since. I highly recommend Abbey. She is awesome at her craft and loves what she does. You get the full treatment from hair wash to hair cut and get treated to complimentary coffee or tea. Redken certified as well. If you want a haircut in San Diego, come see Abbey

I've been going to Uyen since 2021, and it's truly the most beautiful my hair has ever looked…read more My natural hair is very fine, and when I first came to her it was just past my shoulders. Uyen added extensions and created a gorgeous bronde color. Over the years we've tried different looks, from very blonde to closer to my natural dark blonde, and I loved it every time! What impressed me the most is how healthy my hair stayed the entire time. After wearing extensions for over two years, I took them out for a while and my natural hair actually looked about 30% thicker than before (The thickest it has ever been). I just got a new set of extensions again and absolutely love them. I went from short hair to almost waist length, and this time we did wavy extensions to match my natural texture. It came out beautifully - the color matches perfectly and it looks very natural, even when I let my hair air dry without styling. Uyen is incredibly attentive and works very meticulously. She really listens and takes the time to make everything blend perfectly. I completely trust her with my hair and highly recommend her, especially if you have fine hair and are considering extensions.

I've had such a great experience at Theory Hair Studio! Uyen does an amazing job every single time…read moreand really takes the time to listen to what you want. I especially appreciated all the help and advice she gave me for my thinning hair and scalp concerns. Her recommendations made a noticeable difference in the health and fullness of my hair. It's clear she genuinely cares about her clients, and I always leave feeling refreshed and confident. Highly recommend!
