Shout out to Caylah who got me looking so gorgeous after my blowout! As many a hairstylist have told me, my hair is thick. It's not easy to work with and I've had some disappointing blowouts where stylists will just kind of give up. Not Caylah! She meticulously worked through my luscious locks. She was also just so nice to talk to, she has such a positive and uplifting energy. I'm not in San Diego often but highly recommend Meraki Lounge / Caylah if you are! read more

Leaving Meraki Lounge I feel like Cinderella after the glow up. Tiffany has worked her magic once again. I have been a client of Tiffany for many years. She always looks at my hair with fresh eyes as she installs or bumps up my extensions, freshens my color or we do a real hair makeover. I always leave with a big smile on my face and a bounce in my step and my curls. I also love my time spent at Meraki Lounge. All of the stylists and the staff are so nice and welcoming. I find myself chatting with other clients and finding joy in their beautiful hair as well. This Cinderella offers her highest praise to Tiffany and Meraki Lounge and the best part is that all of this hair goodness lasts past midnight! read more

So happy with Caylah and the consultation we had. Though it was about 15-20 min. I'm a disabled Veteran and have some mobility concerns so I was able to take their elevator. But since I've been in quite a bit of pain I must say, I missed that the consultation is NON REFUNDABLE! So even when they don't call you back after a week, like they said you cancel just in case, you still won't get your $75 fee back. And you won't be able to get a hold of ANYONE who could help. In fact, they were very "run me around" with their attitude. And it reflects a truly BAD taste for me. If they can treat a disabled veteran like this? I don't know if I'd ever trust them with my time/money. I've tried to contact the owner they said they need to get a hold of for about week now. And I have been rudely dismissed and hung up on. I was so excited about this possible hair appointment, but due to their negligence and disregard, I lost $75 dollars for a 15 min conversation. read more

Meraki Lounge is honestly the best spot in San Diego for hair extensions and color. The salon feels trendy but comfortable, and everyone there is so nice and accommodating. You can tell the whole team is talented and really cares about their clients. I've been a client of Tiffany's for over 10 years, and she is truly an artist. Her extensions are the best I've had in SD. They blend perfectly, the hair quality is amazing, and they always look natural, not overdone. Her color work is just as impressive. She really understands tone and balance, keeps my hair healthy, and my color always grows out beautifully. read more

Tiffany is one of the best/hardest working people I know. As soon as she touches my hair I can tell she has been doing this for a very long time and I feel at ease when I am sitting in her chair. She has given me the confidence I have been craving for years! I get so many compliments on my hair. She has been more than accommodating to my schedule and budget. Her bubbly personality shines through! read more

I loved the fact that I called this salon, and unlike the other local salons, I got to speak to a peers on versus being asked to leave a voicemail or fill out an application. I am staying down the street and needed a quick hair styling service and Meraki make it happen for me. I'm so thankful for finding them and being able to get accommodations. The vibes are immaculate and the service was superb. My stylist, Desi did an amazing job and I am in love with my hair. I will definitely be returning here every time I travel out to San Diego. Thank you guys so much! read more

Tiffany Hoover SAVED ME from going bald years ago!!!! (Not even exaggerating) She has completely transformed my hair from what use to be very short and damaged to now the most healthiest, fullest and longest natural hair with no extensions. She is an absolute hair god but I also want to point out how amazing her whole team is there at the salon! DO.NOT.SLEEP.ON.IT Just book that appointment! read more

Riley Till is absolutely the best! As a blonde it's very hard to find a colorist who doesn't leave you yellow or with brittle hair! My hair is the healthiest it's been (can be for blonde) and I am always blown away by the color! Riley nails the color every time! I cannot recommend her enough! read more

She creates a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere with top notch customer service, and the BEST RESULTS!! Elaa is highly skilled and knowledgeable.

Overall, I always have a fantastic experience at this salon because of Elaa. The combination of professionalism, cleanliness, and excellent customer service makes my visits truly enjoyable. I would highly recommend Elaa specifically to anyone in need of a hair service. read more

Terrible service, booked a blowout for 1030 which got moved to 11, then the stylist was 30 minutes late. She was really nice but I showed a picture of me with the style I wanted which was a simple round brush blowout and didn't get anything remotely close to what I asked for my hair just looks straight. I didn't have the time to sit there and have her fix it to how I wanted because I already wasted an hour and a half of my day, and vacation. Front desk girl didn't let me know the situation until it had already been 30 minutes and the girl was walking in, also asked a different client if she wanted a refreshment and didn't utter a word to me while I was waiting. I don't ever leave reviews let alone bad ones but jeez this was not good. read more

Hands down the best salon in San Diego -- Tiffany, the owner, is an absolute perfectionist. She pours her heart and soul into her work and clients - and it SHOWS. The salon has a wonderful atmosphere, the stylists are amazing at their craft, and I look forward to every appointment as a time to hang out with my girls and leave feeling more beautiful! Couldn't recommend the salon and Tiffany more! read more

Tiffany is a hair god! She revived my blonde hair and helped it grow the longest it's ever been. Her work is meticulous, her salon is stunning, and her + all her staff are amazing. I always leave looking and feeling great - the vibes are always vibing! I've had extensions for over a decade, and her brand is THE BEST! I'll never buy them from anyone else. I've had them for 8 months now, and they're still as long as thick as when I got them. read more

If you are looking for a full hair salon experience, this isn't it. It's downtown, so you have to pay for parking depends on when you get here. I was greeted by the lady and she wasn't really welcoming. Someone else came in after me and she offered her drinks,,, and she didn't offer me drinks. So that's awkward lol She has notified my hairdresser that I was here and waited a bit and was greeted by my hairdresser. You go upstairs and it's freezing. There's no coat check. You get seated and there are other hairdressers that are there with their clients. Someone had their dogs, (this is pretty cool). For me, this place seemed little run down. I didn't feel high end, felt more like off beat hair salon. Only thing I liked was my haircut I came here for. Decor was ok, service was ok, place is ok. read more

Absolutely love this salon! The staff is always so welcoming and nice. The vibe of this salon makes each visit go by so fast! Tiffany is amazing. Only person in SoCal i trust!! read more

Coming from someone who is very skeptical and nervous about letting someone touch my hair.... Caylah was amazing! She did an incredible job and can't recommend her enough! The Meraki Lounge was so vibey, aesthetically pleasing and very relaxing. 10/10! read more

Lysa is the best! I've seen her a couple of times for my services and I always leave her chair feeling happy. I recently decided to go back to the lighter side with dimensions and the 5 hour appointment went by so fast. She is truly a professional and is the only hair stylist I can trust with my hair. Ps. Her scalp massages could get their own 5 star review read more

Nallely is soooo goood! I took a huge risk during my first visit and went from long (mid-back) to above the shoulders with no layers, and she pulled it off flawlessly. Not only that, but she was kind enough to show me how to style it! I just went to her again for a refresh cut, and I'm still just as blown away. Finding a GOOD hairstylist can seriously feel like a needle in a haystack, but I can guarantee you won't regret going to Nallely! read more

I got a haircut here April 19th and they did not let me down. I wanted all over color to match my natural color because I was tired of the blonde fading. I was told the haircut is $90 before coming in and I wanted to add on an all over color to dye my hair black to my natural roots to refresh my style. Zach is an amazing person, kind and good at his job as well as styling, but my hair faded after a week and was not the permanent color I asked for. I didn't know the price of everything until it was all over. Initially I was just shocked but going along with it because it was too late to change anything. I had a pleasant experience overall except for that communication part. I really did appreciate being able to make an appt and come in within a few hours. I really needed that. I just wish I knew this wasn't going to be permanent color otherwise a first and second bowl of hair dye being $150 each time could have been avoided. Sincerely wish you guys the best. read more

This hair salon is legit top notch. I've been going to Lawa Meraki for over 5 years now and I always leave happy and LOVING my hair. Everyone is so professional yet the vibe is still fun. The salon is so full of natural light and is huge. Their ABUNDANCE hair extensions are so beautiful and such amazing quality. I highly recommend Lawa Meraki. You will not be disappointed! read more

I not only received one of the worst haircuts of my life, the owner of the salon was unprofessional as well. Here is what happened. I arrived on time for my haircut. There was no one at the front desk. After waiting 5 minutes I walked upstairs to find an employee who could check me in. Everyone looked busy so I went back downstairs to the empty front desk. I waited another 5-10 minutes, still empty. I walked upstairs a second time as I had a tight schedule that day and needed to be seen. This time, the owner spotted me, gave me an irritated look and snapped at me. She abruptly told me to go back downstairs and that she was coming down to check me in. It felt as though I was the one inconveniencing her, when I had done nothing wrong. 20 minutes past my appointment time, she begrudgingly checked me in. I felt very uncomfortable waiting for my hairstylist with her sitting across from me behind the front desk counter. Finally, my hairstylist came down to fetch me. They apologized for the wait. I was excited to get my hair cut. Unfortunately, they cut my hair while it was wet. When it dried, it was way too short and uneven. I wanted my hair to reach my collarbone. My hair was at my chin. The left side was longer than the right side. While I did not ask for a refund or a re-do, I am posting this review to warn others. I didn't want to go back in because the owner was intimidating and unprofessional, and my hair was so short and uneven, I couldn't bear to lose even more length. For the time being, I will wait for my hair to grow out and hope no one notices how bad it looks. read more

I had my first appointment with Riley in September 2023 and I've trusted her with my hair ever since! She's the absolute best! She's extremely sweet, professional and she takes the time to really listen to what your hair goals are, and then exceeds them! I will never not trust Riley with my hair :) Highly recommend her! read more

Chloe was amazing!!! definitely recommend I LOVE the highlights! super pretty salon too

Having been a bottle blonde for years, I decided to break up with the bleach and take myself back to my natural color. Megan was my stylist on my quest back to dark, and my actual hair angel! She mixed up a gloss to help me achieve my "milk chocolate" color goals, and let it soak in while we talked about love and life. She made sure to pull my lighter face framing highlights out so they wouldn't get dark, as I had mentioned to her that I love having them. She gave me such a blissful scalp massage that I saw colors with my eyes closed, and then rinsed and scooted me to her chair. She gave me a "dusting" trim, to remove all my dead, frayed ends and to help my hair look smoother and healthier. A bouncy blow out rounded out the service and I was instantly more polished, professional, and natural! Megan is my hair goddess. She doesn't feel like a stranger you just met, she feels like a long lost friend who you can confide anything in. She makes sure you walk out with exactly what you had in mind, even if you're a difficult client who tells her "I don't know I just want to have chocolate hair but not dark chocolate and like not cheap milk chocolate like expensive chocolate". She's wicked talented, wildly funny, and overall such an incredible person. She's made a client for life! read more

I LOVE my stylist Siara Miller! I have been seeing her for years and she is quite frankly the best stylest I've ever had. She does an excellent job of listening to my vision for my hair and making sure I'm satisfied with the results. She has a bright and warm personality and is an absolute joy to chat with and I always look forward to seeing her. Would absolutely recommend!! read more

Michelle was able to fit me in for a same day haircut and I'm so so happy with it!! She was very kind and welcoming and helped me achieve the perfect cut (even though I had no real direction/vision prior to my visit). I would definitely recommend her and the salon to anyone who asked :) read more

The place is cute. The stylist was great and great products. However, the cost of half head of highlights and a cut is certainly very expensive. San Diego is over priced in all ways, but the bill was super high! It wasn't even for a full head of highlights. read more
