I went to Jack about a year ago to get a trim. I had long, curly/wavy hair which was down to the middle of my back. A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to have a shorter cut. I was afraid I would chicken out, and as I had put my hair into a long braid that morning, I cut the braid. 8 inches of it. Then I walked over to Jax to have my cut! I believe that this hair cut, now to the top of my shoulders, is one of the best cuts I have ever had!!! I forgot how curly my hair is when it is short. It is the perfect cut for the curls. I can even pull my hair back in a clip or short ponytail. Thank you so much, Jack, I love my hair!!! 10/24/18 Just a follow-up...I love my cut. I've been back to Jack and had it cut a bit shorter. Like I said, I LOVE my short cut! read more

Melissa is awesome!!! Gave me exactly what I wanted and great conversationalist. Real sweet lady. Just found my new favorite hairstylist! 10/10 recommendation. read more

Back at Jax. Second time back. Very happy again. Michelle always does me right. She takes her time she listens and she does what YOU want. Always willing to fix something if you don't like it she aims to please. I'm staying! Thank you Michelle read more

See all

First time going to Jax Cuts and had Melissa cut my hair. I have super thin hair and she did an amazing job with it. She listened to every concern I had and made me feel so comfortable, especially since it was the first time she ever cut it and the first time I've gone to a salon for a paid service (I usually have my sister in law cut it who is a stylist). I will definitely be going back. Would highly recommend Melissa. read more

I love this local hair salon. I've been going to Melissa for my hair cuts for over a year now and she's gotten to know my style so well. I walk in, have a seat and a therapy session for 20 mins or so and walk out feeling refreshed with a fresh hair cut! She's the best! read more

My wife and I have been coming here ever since they opened. Melissa is fantastic. She always does a excellent job. We will continue to come here. Reservations are highly recommended. read more

I go to Jack. The dude is great and CONSISTENT! He's also a very sweet person and fun to talk to. What I want in a haircut is that it's consistently good and not via a corporation or franchise (often those go hand in hand). Jax is my favorite version of that. You can schedule ahead of time online and that's helpful. Very reasonable prices. This place is a gem. read more

Great cut and awesome service, with very reasonable pricing!

10/10 recommend! I'm from LA and occasionally visit my friend who lives here. Michelle has cut my hair and I refuse to go anywhere else but here! This place is clean, affordable, and high quality service. I'm not even lying, I waited months from the last time she cut my hair to get my hair cut because I've never been more than satisfied with a hair dresser. I appreciate that she not only does exactly what I ask for, but does it with such ease and perfection. I have curly hair, so it's been difficult to find a hair stylist. I also appreciate that she doesn't try to get fancy or suggest anything other than what I came in for, because it's not always warranted. She's a very genuine person and the conversations are seamless. Seriously!! THE BEST and the most satisfied I will ever be. Yes, yes and yes! read more

I was overdue for a haircut. I booked an appointment online with Melissa. When I arrived I was greeted by Melissa. The hair salon was very clean. Melissa was very bubbly and had such a lovely personality. She took off all my dead and gave me more volume. Very affordable and tons of parking close by. Thank you for my new cut. Will return :) read more

Jax Cuts - Hair cut by Jack. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Everything is great about this salon. Friendly staff Clean, comfortable, well designed shop Jack has been cutting/colouring my hair for more than a year now. I am one of those people that is always changing my mind and bringing in photos of haircuts. He is patient with my requests, listens to my concerns and always makes my hair look amazing. Its not always easy to find someone who will listen and than DO what you ask. Jack is one of those artists. No need for me (or you!) to look any further. I will come here for my hair for years to come. read more

Went to see Melissa for my first haircut in three years ( have been doing it at home since the pandemic). She was quick, affordable and my hair feels great! Would highly recommend:) read more

My first time coming to this salon....and I will most definitely be coming back!! I thought I heard wrong when the girl on the phone said $25 for a cut! I've spent decades paying $70-$80 . Granted , the $25 doesn't include wash and blow dry... but I don't mind at all. It's nice to have the option tho. Michelle was a wonderful girl and instinctively knew exactly what my hair needed.. a beautiful cut; and I got it! Thank you Michelle read more

I found my stylist Michelle, here at Jax. Cute little clean shop. I can't remember when she started cutting my hair...A looong time ago. Over ten years ago. She is one of the rare people I trust with scissors anywhere near my head. Thanks Michelle! read more

Michelle cut my hair last week!! Best haircut ever!! Looks like you're stuck with me! I've gotten so many compliments and given lots of referrals! Love the salon too. So relaxing. read more

Jax has moderately-priced haircuts, but it otherwise acts as a higher-end salon in terms of looks, feel, service, and quality.

This is my favorite salon! I had my hair cut here a year ago for the first time by Jack. His cut was just amazing. For the first time my hair did what I wanted it to do. He added some highlights and my new look was born. I can't tell you how many compliments I got on my hair. I have been going here ever since. A couple months ago Michelle Richardson started working here at Jax Cuts. And today, while Jack was busy, she was able to fit me in spontaneously. I was missing my super short hair that I used to have for so many years. And within 30 minutes, she gave me a super cute and fun haircut. I absolutely love it. I will not go anywhere else! I can highly recommended this place to everyone. It is such a welcoming environment. They even have a little fridge with refreshments for you in case you have to wait. Jack and Michelle, thank you!!!! read more

My hair was in serious need of pampering and Jack knew exactly what to do to make it comeback to life. I went from messy brown to luscious blonde and Jack managed to make it feel soft and without red undertones; he definitely knows how to handle Latina's hair. The salon is easy to find, clean, and with a relaxing atmosphere. I had no trouble finding parking and Jack made sure I stayed hydrated and happy. Will definitely be back. read more

Hard to find an affordable haircut for women these days. Melissa did a great job. Can't beat $23

Both Michelle and Jack are great stylists. They both are friendly and very attentive to your needs, really thoughtfully asking necessary questions. Love this place - as someone who rarely goes somewhere twice, I found a salon to call home! read more

I can always trust Jack to give me a look I love with his charming wit and stylist expertise. He takes the time to listen and makes subtle suggestions with the utmost respect. read more

I came here yesterday for a cut and color! Melissa was my stylist. She was so sweet and had great customer service. The cut and color was exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be returning read more

Jack's been cutting my hair since day 1, always laid back and friendly. Him and his ppl take care of you like other big chains don't

Jack is amazing! Been getting my hair cut by him for years and I always walk out loving it. If you're nearby or not, he's worth the drive! Old craftsman converted...super clean and very well decorated. Check em out! Pet friendly too...always bring my dog along to chill while I get my hair cut. read more

Was looking for a straightforward haircut, just needed a couple of inches trimmed off and my layers freshened up. Jack checked off all the boxes of what I needed and was super sweet to top it off. I'm very picky when it comes to finding stylists (eg personality match, price point, salon ambiance, sales tactics, etc.) I've lived in San Diego for almost 8 years, and I think I've finally found the right match. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Jack for a while, now, long before he opened his salon. He was the best-kept secret in town at that name-brand chain place, and now he's the best-kept secret salon owner! It really shouldn't be kept secret, though. I was able to walk in for my last cut. Eventually, I think people will figure out he's there and realize what great work he does. It will be harder to get an appointment then, but it will be worth it. Things to know about Jack and Jax Cuts: he does an amazing job; he listens to what you actually want; he gives great suggestions; he's very friendly and down-to-earth. The icing on the cake is that he's VERY inexpensive! If you're looking for a high-end haircut at an affordable price, you need to see Jack. I can't say enough great things about him. If you're looking for a snobby stylist or someone who wants to overcharge you for a haircut you didn't actually want, go somewhere else. But if you want to save some money and still get a terrific haircut, Jax Cuts is THE place to go. read more

Jack is awesome. Love how he cuts my hair. Also love the online scheduling. Makes it so easy to book a hair appointment. Even though the location is on Park Blvd by Sprouts, I've never had a problem finding parking. Great price for a cut too! read more

Jack is fantastic! Have had several great cuts from him and will be back many more. Easy to make a reservation and always does a great job.

Michelle is amazing - she has cut my hair for almost 15 years!!! Nice salon and always friendly.

My fiancé has been going to Jack for haircuts for over three years-- long before he had his own salon. He used to wait a few days in order to be seen/get an appointment; Jack was worth it. And he still is. Now that Jack has his own salon, I've become a client. His consistency in cuts, his wonderful demeanor and customer service, and his fair pricing keep us coming back. Parking is super easy along Park Blvd. and the salon is beautiful inside. Jack is very accommodating with appointments. He gives sound advice in terms of coloring and style. Plus, his positivity is just what you want from a stylist. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. read more

Jack has been cutting my hair for over 20 years. He is a very pleasant and flexible guy who does a super job of creating the haircut that my current tastes demand. He is mellow and runs on time. His on-line scheduling program makes it very easy to book at my convenience. Jack's the best! read more

I followed Michelle from her previous workplace and am still just as happy with her services years later. She is so friendly and professional and makes the whole process of getting one's hair done as smooth as can be. Hair stylists are known for being easy to talk to, and Michelle is no exception. She communicates clearly, does great quality work, and makes sure you are happy with every little thing. Jax is a cute, friendly place too. read more

Took my Mom here and both her and I were very impressed. The crew was friendly, beautiful salon, clean and on top of that they did a great job on her Hair. I recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a permanent hair stylist. read more

Very professional, yet not pretentious hair salon. Jack did exactly what I wanted (subtle highlights) and the price was very reasonable, especially for SD. I just moved to SD and I'll keep coming to Jax Cuts! read more

I was referred to Jack from my boyfriend. I was hesitant to switch my hair stylist at first, but am so glad I did. He does a great job and the salon is very nice and in a great location. I like to change up my hair style often and Jack is always receptive and helps me out. I also love scheduling my appointment through the online system. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Jack for several years now. In addition to what the other reviewers have posted I'd like to add a few more positives. First of all, he's consistent. I can't tell you how many stylists start off strong, then stop paying attention to what they're doing after a couple of return visits. Second, he is always a joy to visit. His positive attitude just makes you feel good, which is why you're getting a haircut in the first place. Best of all, he does a great job. I don't have the world's most difficult style, but there are a few problem areas and he immediately nailed them. Love the new salon as well! It just keeps getting better and better. read more

Absolutely wonderful place! Jack is the awesome owner: so professional, skillful, and friendly! Thank you for all your help!
