Ashlea N.

Amazing transformation. She heals my spirit not just my skin and hair. So lucky to have Hair Sensation in La Jolla! Very grateful for Francoise

Silver hair on point!

Francois is incredible with hair and as a person. She has a consult and talks to you about your exact hair, your concerns, what exactly you want. She listens, she recommends different products for your hair, and she takes her time to make each person walk out looking phenomenal. She makes it fun too! I love coming in and laughing with her, her energy spreads to anyone in her presence. Thank you for making me feel beautiful inside and out!

In addition, I love letting my stylist do their magic b/c I am a loyalist, and when it comes to color/highlights, I want to allow them to paint the canvas b/c they know what's on trend and they are the experts. I was spoiled b/c when I lived in the Seattle area, I had a gem of a stylist, and b/c I struggled finding the right person in SD, I continued to see her up until last year, when I was fortunate to meet Siobhain. She's newer to Ashen Salon, but I've followed her here and for sure, this is the right spot! The salon is bright and has a great energy! The receptionist is inviting, and the stylists all seem happy! They have some complimentary beverages while you're getting your service, along with some nice seating and magazines/books. One of the biggest challenges with finding the right stylist is my hair grows very fast and has a natural wave. It varies based on humidity, as girls with wavy/curly hair know, so I've had previous cuts where people razor my hair or however they cut it, it always makes me have major triangle head (not a good look)! Siobhain tends to cut my hair dry, which was an adjustment, but overall it's allowed her to see how the hair will lay when it's dry and follow the natural wave. I've also gotten color and highlights done, which is my fave with Siobhain! She always keeps me fresh and on point, and I always get compliments on my hair after I see her! Besides her skills, she's just a gem and always vibrant and on her game! In my short time seeing her, my mom and my other friend have both had pixie cuts from Siobhain, which according to my friend, also requires major skill to meet the person's preferences, and they've both been happy! Street parking is usually decent, although summer months likely will be busier. I'm not aware of any associated parking, but I've never had any issues finding parking. Appointments are definitely recommended. Pricing is along the standard I think I've seen with most salons, with most cuts ranging around $40-80 based on length/style, and color/highlights ranging from $100-250 depending on what you get done. So happy I found Siobhain and have a great stylist in the SD area now! I definitely recommend that you see Siobhain at Ashen Salon.

You can tell they really care, and I also got a drink from the menu, it was so good. Kristina was my stylish and she absolutely killed it. As an Asian girly, it's honestly been difficult finding a stylish who really understands exactly what I want and knows how to work with my hair type and texture. However, Kristina listened to what I wanted, paid so much attention to detail, and my haircut turned out even better than I expected. I left feeling so confident and happy with my hair. I'll definitely be coming back and high recommend booking with Kristina. So grateful to have finally found a stylish who gets it!

Salon is a spa like atmosphere experience. The only reason I didn't give the entire salon five stars is because the hair products are priced more than if you go to Davines website and order the products directly from the company. The salon promotions / discounts for hair products are not always honored. That was disappointing. I buy Davines from ColourBar https://www.thecolourbar.me online they have better pricing.

I had a blowout with Yumi, who was wonderful--she really listened and delivered exactly what I wanted. The whole experience felt thoughtful and unhurried. It's a women-owned business run by Yumi and Korina, which makes it even more special to support. They're also known for styling for La Valencia weddings, which says a lot about their quality. A big plus: since they don't do color, there's none of that heavy salon smell--just a clean, calm environment. The location is especially sweet--right near a lovely Italian restaurant that glows in the evening with string lights, making the whole visit feel a bit like a mini outing. Pricing was $85 for a blowout on a bob (fair for the area), and I happily tipped extra. A charming, intimate spot that's easy to love--highly recommend supporting this local, women-owned gem.

To be completely clear: my stylist did not consult with me even once about what I wanted my hair to look like. This includes tone - my hair is not even the correct color. The only person I spoke to about my hair goals was the assistant, not the stylist. At one point, I even had to ask the assistant whether I would be getting a root smudge (I've been getting my hair done for 15 years and am familiar with what is typically involved in my services), because again, the stylist did not communicate with me at all about my preferences. The stylist blow-dried a single section of my hair and then did not return. After that first section, the next and last time I saw her was as I was walking out of the salon, while she was actively blow-drying another client's hair. Because of this, there is no possible way she could have done a "final check," assessed breakage, or evaluated the overall condition of my hair as suggested in the response. While the stylist did eventually call to apologize (which is the bare minimum), I did not hear from the salon itself. If they truly cared about hearing/fixing my experience, I would have heard directly from them. I will not be returning to this salon or this stylist. Why would I return to a place where I felt disrespected, rushed, unheard, and where my hair was damaged? I also want to clarify that I have no issue with a stylist working alongside an assistant. In fact, I mentioned in my original review that the assistant was very sweet. My issue is with a stylist who does not communicate with me at all, is dismissive and rude, and is so overbooked that she is barely present for the service I was paying for. I did not include this originally, but the stylist was also extremely rude to the assistant, so much so that I considered stepping in because of how poorly she was speaking to her. Overall, the fact that the owner chose to respond with inaccuracies instead of genuinely addressing the issues raised is very reflective of this business.
