    Virginia is the best! Super sweet and patient with all ages of children and does a fantastic job!!!

    Girl's haircut
    Christie P.

    We arrived early to let our nervous kids explore before their appointment. We were pleasantly surprised when they asked if we wanted to be seen early since the kids were comfortable & ready. My daughter is *very* picky about her hair, but was absolutely stunned by how pretty it looked after her cut. My son who usually complains with the buzzer didn't complain at all & had a great time. He was joking with his stylist We will absolutely be coming back here again. These are the best haircuts our kids have received.

    Her hair was wet so the chop and unevenness was not visible when the stylist offered me to approve.

    I have been here once previously and I believe the stylist then was Virgina... she was perfect. Not much is needed for a kids haircut but this kid had a better cut from Great Clips (for keeping hair actually even). Today's haircut was a hack job. I also don't think they should include the gratuity on the total bill, since it is a toy shop and good luck escaping without letting your kiddo pick a reward for their excursion. Giving 20-25% tipping options on a $50 total ($35 haircut), why would guests tip on toys? After today's result, we will not be returning.

    Hair style by Claire

    We love Little Locks! Claire does an awesome job on my little one's hair. Great place if you're looking for a first time haircut, they make it special with a certificate. My daughter loves the atmosphere, the toys and Claire's sweet patient energy! Very affordable and super cute style. I can't wait to bring my son next.

    Equally AWFUL, not even close to eyebrows. This is 2025.

    It's really frustrating that this place is so disappointing, especially given its location. I first visited in 2024 for my son's first haircut. Despite having an appointment, we still had to wait 30 minutes. The staff were rude and unwelcoming. I came for a bang trim only. It's clearly specified on their website that the cut is supposed to be at eyebrow level. Look at the pictures--they cut it super short, uneven and I cried when I got home. I decided to give them a second chance, being very specific that I didn't want his bangs to be cut too short. The woman who handled the haircut clearly didn't know how to deal with my son crying. She was visibly shaking, and not only did she cut his bangs way too short, but they were also uneven. She even laughed and said, "Oh, I thought it was going to look worse." Please read all the negative reviews, I am not the only one that experienced this. Never coming back.

    Virginia K was so amazing with my daughter! She took her time and was beyond patient with my little wiggle worm! You guys have definitely got a forever customer! Thank you so much again for my daughter's first haircut and making it an amazing experience for my baby girl!

    Ask the Community - Little Locks

    Who would you recommend for a boy with long curly hair, we just need a trim and love his long curls?

    I think Marisol in Solana Beach does a great job. She's cut my sons hair now three times and he has natural waves. We even asked for her to keep it lengthier, a little curly in the back and she has been very open to suggestions.

    For my sons first haircut is it free or discounted with hair donation?

    We do cut hair for the donations, customers take care of mailing it to the Hair Donation organization of their choice. Most of the organizations ask for minimum 10 inches length from tip to tip. Our first haircut price is $27, priced same as a… Read more

    Do you just do cuts ? I wanted to get my daughter's hair braided. If so what's the average price? Thanks

    We do braid too. Braids without cut starts from $20. Please give us a call to discuss more. Thank you!!

    Do you have lots of experince doing long haircuts for boys with curly hair? Just above shoulder length? Thanks!

    Yes, we have stylists with plenty of experience on long curly hair.

    Do you have a stylist experienced with curly hair kiddos?

    Yes, we have experienced stylists to work with curly hairs.

    Are there options for cut to take place outdoors?

    When I called, they were back to indoors only. It would be really nice if this was still an option for those who request it!! Many are more comfortable with things outdoors in general, right now, since open air is a safer option, when possible.

    How much for a 22 months old? Does he have to wear a mask for the haircut? Thanks

    I've been living in SD for almost 13 years and I've tried a 3-4 different stylists in the area, but…read morewith naturally wavy hair as an Asian, many hair stylists have not been able to cut my hair very well. 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.
