Nail art by Hannah
Evenett V.

Had my nails done by Hannah and what an amazing experience and job she did!!! Definitely making this my go to spot!! Her work is truly art come to life. She took her time to know my style and amplified it beyond my imagination. The room is so comfy and beautiful decorated, I felt like I was in the secret garden. The wine is amazing too. Excited for the next set

Loooooveeee this cute little salon!! Super cute small shop located in North Park and super friendly staff. So happy I found this place. I found Hazel via Instagram and my friend who referred me, and so happy I did. She is amazing!! I had really dark hair and she made my hair so light within the first session. By the second session, my hair was amaaazinnngly light. She takes into consideration the health of your hair as well, which I love and appreciate! I have been coming to Hazel for 4-6 months now and she never fails to give me the hair I want! She is super busy so I always try to book in advance!!

I get my hair done by Hazel and always leave super happy with my hair and her personality is A++!! She always makes me laugh until I cry and is always so straight up and blunt!! She got me super blonde on my first session after having so many sessions with someone else. I definitely recommend her if you're looking for a new hair stylist and her price is great!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Ever since I found Trai my life has not been the same (lol). She really listens to what I want and definitely delivers. I'm honestly so glad I found a hair stylist in SD while I was here because my hair could not wait for me to go home every-time to touch it up. The prices are also very affordable, especially since hair color can be very expensive. 100/10 would recommend coming here and seeing Trai because she will change your life

Not as bad as the other side, but still,  it evenly layered.

It pains me to write this review, but man, I felt so irritated and annoyed at how horrible my haircut was. I have gone to Aileen 3-4 times now, and have taken my mom here as well. Every time I've come, I've always asked for a trim and have left feeling pretty satisfied with my hair. However, this time.. was horrible. I wanted to go a little shorter and wanted a lob (long bob). Aileen told me in order for me to do that, I'd have to go much shorter so in the end, we ended up with practically the same haircut again, which was just layers. She finished my wash and cut in about 30 mins, and sent me on my way. My hair was curled so I didn't see how terribly butchered my hair was until I washed it. Mind you, I'm extremely picky but when it comes to my hair, it's the one thing I don't really care about as long as it doesn't look horrible. This time, it was soooo choppy and uneven that even my boyfriend, who never notices things like this, was like "wow, that looks pretty bad babe." I asked to come in again to get it fixed up bc there was no way I'd go for a couple of months to wait for it to grow out again looking this messed up. When I came in, she proceeded to sit me down to "even out" my hair again. Not once was there an apology for messing up my hair, also, she asked me what was "wrong" with the haircut when you can just tell how bad it is. (Pics attached) She was going to fix my hair without washing it so it was still dry. My hair had been tied up all day so it was wavy in certain areas, so I wasn't sure if it was going to be properly cut. Still, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. She fixed my hair and it looked fine once we were done. After I washed my hair at home, I realized that one side was layered well, and the other was cut straight even with just a little bit of layers. I'm so disappointed and honestly pissed at this point. All in all, I think it's safe to say I will never come here again.

Aileen is a goddamn national treasure I had been struggling to find a hair stylist in San Diego and I was referred to Aileen by a few of my co-workers who had been raving about her for a while. I took a chance and it's been 2 years and I haven't looked back. Aileen is great because she really listens to you when you tell her what you want and will be honest if she thinks that the style/color you want may not be the best for your skin tone and face shape. She's the only stylist I've worked with who will only cut off an inch when you say "just an inch" which we all know is rare when you get your hair cut. She recently took me to from dark hair to blond and it was such a great experience. She talked me through the process, was honest about how light she could take me per session while maintaining my hair health. News about Aileen has spread so if you want an appointment, try to book at least 1-2 months before you need the hair cut/color. She's 100% worth the wait!

To say that Aileen is amazing when it comes to my hair is honestly an understatement. I get really nervous when it comes to finding the right hair stylist that listens to what I want, but Aileen has made me feel really comfortable even on my very first visit. She understands what I want, without being afraid to voice her honest opinions because she really wants the best results for her clients. I have made numerous appointments with her and have left feeling satisfied every single time. She does a superb job with my hair and her attention to detail is something I really appreciate as it's very rare to find a stylist that remembers the situation of your hair (your style/preference) even after months of not seeing you. Booking my first appointment with her was the best decision I have made. Long hair or short hair - there's no one better to trust my hair with than Aileen. 12/10 would recommend. Hehe love you Aileen!

Aileen's work on my hair!
Darby D.

I'm still going to Aileen for all my hair needs! She's such an amazing hairstylist, and I always try to recommend her to all of my friends. I absolutely love how she tries to keep the integrity of your hair to prevent over damaging it and to make it look natural as possible. I've gone to a light brunette, to a golden blonde, to an icy blonde, and to gray. I always trust her process and the way she styles my hair. In addition, I love the way she cuts my hair. I always get so many compliments on my hair! I think the greatest part of her as a hairstylist, it feels like you're just catching up with a friend. She's really attentive and makes sure you're comfortable. I'll be sweating my ass off sometimes in the salon, and she'll bring me a fan to cool me off . If you can, book with her! She does get busy, but she is definitely worth the wait. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. If she ever retires or moves, I'll beg her to come back to do my hair

Second session in my journey to blonde
Amanda N.

Not sure why it's taken me so long to write a review considering I've been going to Aileen for SIX years now. Six years ago I heard of Aileen through a friend of a friend when I decided to chop off a foot of my hair. During my haircut I was convinced that the next time I saw her I would let her dye my very dark Asian virgin hair. Aileen is a hair god to say the least. I don't trust anyone else with my hair coloring or hair cuts. It has been a long journey of getting my dark virgin hair to the ashy blonde it is today- but my hair not only looks great but it feels healthy too. She really takes care of her clients and advises them of any precautions to take in order to prevent your hair from suffering major damage from processing. She listens and delivers. Aside from hair cuts and coloring, Aileen offers comfort and friendship every time you sit in her chair. I've even gone to Disneyland with her-- that's just how much our relationship has grown over the years and I wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you for always taking care of my hair Aileen! I will never let you move away from me (unless I can come with you) lol!!

Cut and color by Hazel

Went from raggedy to ashy (blonde) and it was a good thing LOL I had an appointment with Hazel (@hl_hairstyles on insta) the other day and she is amazing! Before Hazel, my hair color was one dimensional, the cut was outgrown with crazy flyaways and baby hairs, flat and just all around blahhh...it was time I get *professional* help lol. My friend recommended her and so I decided to try her out (turns out a lot of my friends who had amazing hair also went to her)! The booking process was easy, just emailed her about what I wanted, asked what her availability was, pricing, etc. and I would get a response that day or the next day at the latest! Day of the appointment: Parking in North Park for me is usually hit or miss but I went on a Monday morning and there was plenty of parking. There's street parking right in front of the salon, or around the corner there's a church with a small parking area. The atmosphere was chill (music playing, light talking, not crowded or overwhelming at all) and the interior is cute, clean and tidy! Hazel had an assistant who helped me as soon as I walked in. She offered me a beverage and then we had a mini consultation with her and with Hazel so that they really understood what I wanted for my hair. I showed a couple of inspo pics and Hazel was very helpful in explaining the subtle differences between them and was very transparent with how the results would turn out. They understand the importance of setting the client up for success so that we always leave happy! Both Hazel and her assistant were polite, professional and obviously very talented! I would trust her to do any hairstyle of her choosing on me to be honest lol! It's crazy how much a killer haircut, color and style can dramatically change the way you feel. I definitely recommend :)

Daniela did my color and cut. I wanted something light but to keep as much length as possible. I also wanted color but nothing too crazy. So basically, I gave her no real direction. She was so great at figuring out exactly what I was looking for and executed it to perfection. To top it off, it was a delight chatting with her. Her positivity and energy are contagious. The salon is in a perfect location. I had no problem finding parking. It's cute, open floor plan was also aesthetically pleasing.

Christmas 2019 - love the dimension.

This is for Aileen - in all my 6+ years seeing her I don't know why it took me so long to review! During that tome she has been with my hair journey from barely being brave enough for a slight balayage ombré, to purple, to toned down, to now an ashy blonde. I used to think it would be too much maintenance but with her work and aftercare tips my blonde stays pretty until the next toner. I'm still getting compliments until the week of my toner. It shows how much she cares about her job and helping others. Plus, her prices are definitely reasonable - you don't have to break the bank for nice hair, friends! Thank you Aileen, for helping me push my boundaries because a good hair day is never overrated!

2020: 2nd color session-- BOMB

I've been getting my hair done at pricy salons for years, this is my best place so far hands down. HAZEL is amazing. I've seen her 3 times already since the end of last year. She took out box dye 1st session, Brazilian blowout 2nd session (I've had it done in the past and it came out the best when I did it with her), touched up balayage 3rd session. Worth the $$! Salon is super clean and cute.

Look at this balayage!!

Such a great wellness experience!…read more I'm so glad I found this place! I booked a 60-minute deep tissue massage and had such a relaxing experience from start to finish. Andy did my massage, and he was incredibly talented. He really knew what he was doing and worked out so much tension, but what I appreciated just as much was how respectful and professional he was throughout the entire appointment. I felt completely comfortable and taken care of. After the massage, I was able to spend unlimited time in their wellness space, which has several different rooms with different wellness benefits. It was such a nice way to extend the experience instead of feeling like you have to leave as soon as your massage is over. They're also opening hot tub and cold plunge rooms in September, which I'm already excited to come back for! The location is super convenient, right where Mission Hills meets Hillcrest, and probably one of my favorite parts - there's parking! I'll definitely be back. Such a great addition to the San Diego wellness scene!

I visited Karma this past Monday with a friend after stumbling across it on TikTok, and I'm so glad…read moreI did! It looked like such a cool, unique place, and it was only a few minutes from my apartment. I loved it so much that I brought a friend back today for another massage, and he was very impressed by how great his massage was. Parking is street parking, so it can be a little tough to find a spot. However, there is a paid parking lot directly across from the spa, which is a convenient option. We each booked a 60-minute deep tissue massage. One thing I really loved is that after your service, you can pay an additional $50 per person to enjoy all of the amenities. If you don't book a service, the day pass is $100. From the moment you arrive, the experience feels different. They take your shoes and give you slippers to wear throughout the spa. They also give you a top and shorts to put on. You have a key to a locker that you wear on your wrist. It's super convenient where you just tap it against the lock. There's a heated wooden floor and a cozy lounge area upstairs, and they serve what might be the best tea I've ever had. I definitely lost count of how many cups I drank! The massages are downstairs, while all of the amenities and different wellness rooms are upstairs. Since it was our first visit, we did the "first-time focus" wellness journey, which allowed us to experience each room. They have two different formats for the curated wellness journey, one for visual learners and one that is written. I thought this was such a cool concept. It even tells you how long you should spend in each room, and each room has information explaining the physical, mental, and emotional benefits. There's also a guided wellness experience you can participate in. *Forest Room: This room is adorable. You choose a stone that you feel drawn to, and it guides you through focusing on an intention. *Cold Room: Unfortunately, this room wasn't as cold as it should have been. We were told it should drop to around 60°, but we arrived around 11 AM and by 1 PM it was still around 68°. The room itself is super cute and has a cloud-like atmosphere though. *Himalayan Salt Room: This was probably one of my favorites because it really helped my sinuses. There's also a massage chair where you can relax while enjoying the room. *Red Light Room: They provide protective glasses for your eyes, and there's a bin where you place them afterward so they can be cleaned and reused. There are also Mugwort and Mud Rooms, and I loved that the rooms have hourglasses with different time increments. It's such a simple detail, but it encourages you to put your phone away, stop checking the time, and actually be present. There's also a snack area stocked with individual packets of Asian snacks, Chex Mix, nuts, and lemon water. The dressing room area is also really nice. They have showers with multiple showerheads, which made for a very relaxing shower after the spa experience. They provide body wash, shampoo, and conditioner along with toothbrushes, blow dryers, deodorant, and pretty much everything you need to get ready afterward. Another really unique feature is the intention wall. You can write something you want to manifest and post it on the wall. At the end of the month, they take the intentions down and hold a little ceremony of sorts to help manifest them. I thought that was such a beautiful touch. And the deep tissue massage was absolutely phenomenal. My therapist used great pressure and really focused on pressure points, leaving me feeling incredibly relaxed afterward. Overall, Karma was an incredible experience and such a perfect reset. From the thoughtful wellness journey and unique rooms to the amazing massage, tea, snacks, and relaxing atmosphere. There are so many little details that make this place special.

We both enjoyed our time! Parking: They have their own parking lot, though it's a bit smaller. We booked on a Saturday appointment at 12pm and there were only a few spots left. They only have one entrance, so they don't connect from the main parking lot behind-- just a heads up. Price: $100 for 90 minutes or $95 if cash-- which is a great price. We signed up for the $10 discount for first timers and put the code in when we booked online. But upon check in, they told us that the code only works for Monday-Thursday, which was disappointing since that wasn't listed anywhere on their website nor was it mentioned when we booked. Experience: We were in a couples room and there seemed to be a handful of rooms available. Shout out to Polly and Sara for being our therapists! They did a great job and they really dug in my problem areas. I enjoy medium to hard pressure and Polly delivered. What stood out to me the most was that after being on our back, they put Peppermint essential oil on our neck and shoulder, which felt amazing! At any other massages, my sinuses are usually so stuffy when I flip on my back but the essential oil cleared everything up. I'd like to point out however that the walls are very thin. So when people walked down the hall, you can hear them talking. Afterwards, they served tea and water. Overall: We enjoyed our first time getting Thai massage and we'd consider coming back again!
