She deliveredddd thank you so much my whole office loves it too! read more

Favorite salon and stylists! I was a client of Brittney's for 2 years and loved her so much. My hair was always gorgeous when I left, she made me feel so comfortable, and the salon is beautiful. Sadly Britt left, but I saw Sydney yesterday and had the exact same experience! She had previously helped Britt with my hair, so I knew I was in good hands and felt comfortable from the beginning. She is so professional, incredibly sweet, and really listened when we chatted about my hair goals. Her work is beautiful and I love my color so much! Of course I miss Britt, but I'm so happy to have found Sydney and know that my hair is in great hands! That's for brightening it up and for a great experience!!! :) read more

Maven Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I live in the area & was looking for a new salon close to me. I love going to dark horse & always noticed Maven; it's so cute from the outside but was hesitant on looking into it. After reading some reviews I finally decided to pull the trigger! My first appointment was with Nicole! I chose her based on yelp reviews and price range. I was so nervous, finding a new stylist and trusting them with my hair has always been nerve wrecking. Everything turned out great! I only went in for a hair cut + styling but she delivered exactly the vibe I was going for. Nicole is also going so she gets the trends & styles accordingly. I showed her a picture and let her know my concerns and she did exactly that. I'm so happy I found a new place to call my usual spot & a stylist I can trust! Can't wait to come back. read more

Maven Salon - Demi permanent color, cut and blow out by Teyah! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I visited Maven Salon for my first time this past weekend, as I had waited way too long to cut my long, layered hair and my regular salon was booked. I had the pleasure of getting my lovely haircut with Marcy L and would absolutely come back for my next haircut. Marcy was a pleasure to chat with and did an exceptional job at cutting my wavy long hair. The salon is super cute, clean and friendly. Thank you Marcy and welcome to SD! read more

Was looking for a last minute appointment. And they had availability. Welcomed me with a beverage of choice. Went in clueless with what i wanted exactly done, because the last place I went to completely chopped my hair. And I asked to do what she thinks would look best. And absolutely love how my hair came out. She definitely fixed it and is now my new favorite go to place I would absolutely love booking with Marcy L again. She did such an amazing job. The place was lovely and very clean. read more

I have been going to Frankiann for years now, the woman is incredible. Even when I am unsure of what I want to do with my hair, she is very good at understanding my needs and helping direct me with her professional expertise. She is personable, makes me comfortable, and always makes me feel heard. I have done everything from bright blonde, to getting layers, trying bangs, to going back to brunette -- and she nails it every time. Maven Salon as a whole is such a soothing place to get your hair done. It has a lot of very talented hair gurus, but Frankie will always be my top girl read more

Best first experience at Maven salon! Raeden was amazing. He goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable, he explains all the steps he is going to do, he takes time to listen to your wants and gives honest suggestions on what he feels is best for you and your hairstyle. End result was so good - thank you Raeden - your energy is infectious radiating with positivity. See you in December! read more

I had a really disappointing and stressful experience at this salon. In the past, my hair was done by the owner, Jess, and I always left happy. This time, however, she is on maternity leave and completely unavailable, which I find unacceptable--business owners don't simply remove themselves when this is what's happening behind the scenes. When I arrived for my appt. With Frankie , I waited 25 minutes because there was only one stylist working with multiple clients at once. The "partial balayage" I was quoted $280 for ended up being just a 8 painted on highlights at my part/ the very top of my head(4 on each side)--nothing around my face or throughout the back--while the stylist took on 4 additional clients during the three hours I was there. I was left sitting with bleach on my naturally blonde hair for over 45 minutes with not one check-in, even as I told them my scalp was burning & I lift quickly. When it was finally rinsed, all highlighted pieces of hair broke off, yet I was still charged full price and never received an apology. To make matters worse, I'm getting married in two weeks, so this was an extremely important appointment for me. I am 41 years old, and I have never cried through an entire salon appointment until this one--yet somehow, nobody even noticed. For the price, lack of professionalism, and damage caused, I cannot recommend this salon. Save yourself the horror, skip this salon & move on to the next read more

I got a haircut with Teyah and she was amazing! She was really attentive when I explained what I was looking for. And given it was my very first cut with her, she was very understanding about me wanting to work slowly (it can be nerve-wracking trusting someone new with your hair!) and explaining her thought process every step of the way. I adored the end product and she nailed down the exact look I wanted. Only downside is I wish she was in LA -- but I'll continue to make the trek down because it's beyond worth it!! read more

Nicole killed it!!! My previous hairstylist changed careers and I was so apprehensive about letting someone else do my color. I started by coming in for a haircut so Nicole and I could talk about what I was wanting done. She showed me pictures of her work and explained the techniques and services she offered that aligned with what I was looking to achieve. Well today was my 1st time getting a Partial Hand Painted Balayage with Nicole and she knocked it out of the park. I'm so happy with the outcome, it was one of those moments that every angle I saw it at just kept getting better every turn, once the light hit the sparkle and depth of melted caramel and honey just had me like WOW. The salon is such a beautiful place, I love the open bright happy space. Felt like a true self care environment and energy. Nicole is so sweet and very talented. I'm just so impressed I can't say enough. I'm looking forward to my next full balayage appointment. So happy. read more

I came in with long hair down to my waist and told my stylist Sydney I wanted to keep my long hair and just take a half or full inch off my ends maximum. After 3.5 hours and $400 later I came out sobbing because she gave me a chop! I am so sad because I have graduation next weekend and my birthday and I feel ugly. The salon was nice but the customer care was lacking. Even when I was getting my hair washed the stylist was ripping through my hair until I had a headache. Maybe this is a lesson to me that I should speak up. read more

I've been getting my hair done with Frankie for over a year now and always leave feeling great! She does a phenomenal job at consultation and making sure we are on the same page, discussing realistic day to day hair styling, long-term goals, and the price and maintenance. It's such a great place, next to a great coffee shop too! read more

I had my first trip here and got an appointment with Raeden after checking out his collection of cuts. I was really happy with my visit. He listened to what I wanted and also gave his opinion about what would look good so I felt like I got a "collaborative" cut :) He did a wonderful job with my shorter style which means a lot to me since I have such fine, low volume hair. The cut looks great if I decide to style it or even on days that I put little to no effort into it, so he really pays attention to detail & style. I plan on being a repeat customer! read more

Franki is soooo amazing! She understands how I like my blonde and does such a great job executing exactly what I ask for. The salon is super cute and comfortable also! read more

teyah has been the absolute best, she is new but literally born to do hair. my hair is the healthiest it's ever been while also still being blonde. teyah was the only stylist in san diego that got my hair back to healthy again. i love my girl! read more

Maven Salon - balayage booked with teyah - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Amazing experience with Nicole Cournoyer. My favorite balayage, hands down, I've ever received, and I've been getting balayage for roughly the last 10 years. :) I found Nicole and the salon through Google and her work on instagram (@nkc_hair) while visiting in San Diego. Nicole had a warm, relaxed, inviting energy and she made space and time for me to show her and explain to her what I was hoping to accomplish without feeling rushed. She listened intently and presently, and she asked all the right questions to ensure I felt heard. She was very communicative and transparent about process, vision, pricing and how everything would work which eased any questions. Talking to her was a pleasure, and I absolutely LOVE my hair. She nailed the vision I was hoping for; my hair also feels super healthy which was important to me with going blonder. Overall, she was a joy to chat with, she finished my hair in about 2 hours, which is record timing for any balayage I've had, and my experience did not feel rushed at all. She accomplished the exact vision I wanted with ease and confidence. Will 100% be back when I officially make the move to SD. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful, natural balayage and great customer service! (The salon is also beautiful, clean and filled with plants and light, very inviting.) read more

I've been to Maven Salon on two separate occasions (once just for a cut and second for cut and balayage ) and booked each time with Jess. I couldn't be happier with the cut and balayage. As a curly girl it's hard to find a stylist that understands how to cut, style, and color my hair because I like to wear it both straight and curly. I am so thankful Jess took time to ask how I normally style my hair. Her level of service is outstanding and I felt well taken care of the entire time (thank you Jess!). My hair each time has come out awesome, the second time I went I got balayage and wanted it to look natural which is exactly what I got! The cut is a good blend of modern and ease as I wanted something I could easily style for both curly and straight. Lastly, Maven's space is a cool mix of mid century modern and luxury I felt pampered the entire time I was there. read more

Really wanted to like this salon, but the balayage and cut I received are the worst I've gotten in San Diego while being the most expensive. The salon itself is pretty cute and has very limited street parking outside, but that's the only positive I experienced. So sad to not like your hair after spending this much money ($600+ with tip!!), and even worse when the stylist completely refused to let me come back in and take a look to fix it. Beyond unprofessional and not at all what I expect at this price point or from any stylist regardless.. Save your money, time, and frustration and go somewhere else. Do not recommend at all :( read more

Go see Raeden! I just moved to North County and will literally take that 40min drive to see him. Raeden was my hairstylist in Hawaii. Oh the excitement I had when we both learned we were both moving to the SD! I was without him for nearly a year (of course we didn't move at the same time) but I'm happy to be back in his chair and at his newest location. I love the vibe at this salon as well. There's also a (busy-must be popular) coffee shop right next door. Anyway, Raeden is the best. We have the best convos and I trust his expertise with my hair! I'm the type to sit in a chair give some ideas and just let the artist do the work read more

Brittiany!! My savior, I met her back in December 2021 with a heck of a home-bleach job My blonde was brass and at several different levels but she was able to take it on and transform my hair into exactly what I wanted! From then on she got me up to platinum blonde, then I went silver, then I've gone to pink and my only issue is how I'll ever do my color without her I hope Brittiany continues to shine here at Maven Salon, I know I can count on her read more

I love getting my hair done by Jess, I've been going to her for years. She always know exactly what I want and I come out looking so much better. The salon is such a great open space, all the other stylists are so so nice and friendly - I would happily try one of those if Jess wasn't free. I definitely recommend this place and Jess! read more

Had a great cut by Jess. Loved the design of the space! Its used to be an old gas station. So unique! Great service. Will definitely come back! read more

You know when you find a restaurant that is so good you almost don't want to tell people because then it will be too hard to get in? That's how I feel after having Nicole do my hair. I came for a balayage and Nicole took a few minutes to talk through the look I was going for and then executed it perfectly. I am so happy with the results! The salon is in a great location - comfortable and stylish inside. An all around wonderful experience! read more

Jess is the queen of all stylists and I am so excited about her new salon!! Every single time she does my hair, it's perfection. Perfect cut, perfect color, she just gets it, every single time! She makes me the perfect color blonde when I visit her and even listens to me when I go crazy and ask her to make me a redhead. Doesn't matter what I ask for, she will do it and do it perfectly every time. She is also a joy to hang out with! read more

Maven Salon - The only photo I got of the new haircut!! Lol - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

Brittiany has cut and colored my hair several times now. I moved to San Diego a little more than a year ago and shopped around for a great blonde colorist for a while before I found her... but I'm so glad I did! She's friendly, communicative and SUPER talented. I always leave really really happy with my hair. Maven is an adorable space and street parking is never an issue. Highly recommend Maven and Brittiany!! read more

Just got my first cut at Maven and couldn't recommend it enough! Everyone was super nice, and the salon is so cute, bright and airy. I came to Jess with a totally jacked up haircut and basically told her to do whatever she had to do to give my hair some style and shape while I continued to grow it out. I LOVE my cut so much. Well worth every single penny! To top it off, Jess took the extra time to curl my hair despite me showing up late (sorry again lol), and was so fun to talk to while she saved my hair. Highly recommend! read more

Beautiful new salon! We followed Brittiany from Rinse Salon to here. She is a miracle worker for hair. My daughter (15 years old!) is very particular in her hair cuts and styles. After Brittiany cut her hair, my daughter exclaimed "OMG! She nailed it". Thank you Brittiany for blessing her with a beautiful cut and color, but also giving her that boost in her self confidence that she so needed. She also cuts and colors my hair and she does the same for me. read more

I am super low maintenance when it comes to my hair care (I basically only get a wash, cut and dry once a year), but I am picky about the haircut I get. I used to get my hair done by my aunt who's been a hair stylist for over 30 years. My standards are a little high even if the service I ask for is quite straight forward. I first visited back in 2022 and saw Nicole. Super kind and I loved the results. I saw Readan this year 2023 and he caught my vision immediately. If I learned anything from my two visits, it's that the folks that work at this salon are truly masters of their craft. I have been to a few other salons and I haven't had the same experience elsewhere. The folks here are efficient as hell too. I always leave feeling rejuvenated. I don't have any complaints and am super happy I came back. The decor inside the salon is super cute too and great for photos! read more

I spent a reasonable amount of time researching hair salons & I came across Maven. I'm so happy I chose this salon. The location alone is cute, and it's aesthetically pleasing. I had highlights, and they weren't working for me & Jess did her magic and got me back to a solid color along with layers and curtain bangs. The picture doesn't do justice, but I am absolutely in love with my new hair! read more

First off this place is KAYOOT! Old mechanics shop turned into a modern and clean salon. I had an appointment with Jess, the owner, and she made me feel so comfortable, as if I knew her for years. The assistant, Lynn (sp?), was so nice and gave me a bomb shampoo wash. The cut was amazing. Jess truly showed her artistry while cutting my hair. Cant wait to come back. :) read more
