My daughter's haircut with Annie was rushed and poorly executed. Despite booking a 30-minute kids'…read moresession, Annie finished in just 20 minutes. She appeared to be in a hurry throughout and didn't check if the bangs were even until I specifically asked. I requested layers, but she only added them to the front near the bangs - the rest of the hair remained completely blunt. When I mentioned the ends looked chunky, she didn't address the concern adequately. Ironically, at checkout, Annie suggested I book the 45-minute tween session next time because my daughter "has a lot of hair" - yet she only used 20 minutes of our 30-minute appointment. This logic doesn't make sense. The result is a chunky, straight-across cut that I could have done at home. I've already had to book an appointment at another salon to fix the uneven, unfinished look. If you're looking for a thorough, detailed cut with proper layering and finishing, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. We won't be returning.

As a blond, you know your hair looks good when all your blond friends ask where you get it done (two have even switched to her). She's so knowledgeable and stays up to date with the latest trends. I highly recommend following the salon and her (icbeauuty) on instagram for inspo pics. On top of it all, she's so personable and fun to be around! The salon itself is adorable and in such a cute area. There's so much to do before and after your appointment if you want to make a day of it. Could not recommend Brooke and Monarch enough!

I am so happy I was able to find such an amazing place and stylist, I will definitely be back.

I've written a lot about my hair and tried MANY salons in La Jolla. Sadly, I've liked a few but…read moreultimately moved on when they ( and I mean ALL of the 8 salons I've tried in the past 4 years) decided I had to be platinum...So, I decided to try one more salon, Waylon, before I headed back up to LA to find a warm blonde highlight and a base color that would hide my grays for an entire month. Seems easy? I thought so, too, but it was illusive in La Jolla!! Enter Alli, owner of Waylon. WOW! I had a consult first as I'm tired of dropping a lot of money for tragic hair! She listened and we discussedmy hair for a good half hour....She is the ONLY colorist that got it. I couldn't be happier! Even my husband is going to Taylor at Waylon now who totally gets his hair ( and that ain't easy!) We found our home! There's no losing at this salon!! :)

She's now cut, bleached, and mixed up custom colors to dye my hair multiple times for me. She somehow knows exactly how to translate my requests into perfect hair, and I don't make that easy for her. I'm never exactly sure what I want, but I am picky--I give her mismatched inspo pics and vague answers as to just what kind of haircuts I want, and she just magically does things perfectly. I'm at the point where I just tell her to do what she thinks is best, and she has never steered me wrong. Not to mention, she is just a very cool and nice human being, so the vibes while she works her magic are immaculate. So, yeah, Carly is just literally the best hair stylist I have ever had, and I 10/10 recommend her. Update to this: I moved away for a few months, and I cannot emphasize enough how rare it is to find a stylist as good as Carly. Photo creds: Carly

Wonderful customer service and results!!…read more I had reach out to Alessandro after another salon had cancelled an appointment I had made (2) months prior - I was grateful for the opening availability that day. They were quick over the phone, able to get me in same day. He did a same day services /consultation, I asked for a keratin treatment, which I normal get every 6-9 months. This was by far the BEST KERATIN TREATMENT, and I've had over 10+ My stylest knew it's a long process and patiencly took his time to do the entire process correctly and efficiently. Each strand of hair was cleaned and treated. I was impressed with his dedication and thoroughness throughout the process. The treatment usually takes around 3-5 hrs, it took 4 hrs including a trimming hair cut. The staff was accommodating, frequently replenishing my drink and snacks.

I came in with a clear inspiration photo of a rich brunette with soft, blended caramel highlights…read more Before we even started, I explained that I understood my hair would not turn out exactly like the inspiration photo because my hair is not virgin hair. I've previously colored it with Redken Shades EQ and Cover Fusion on my roots, so I knew my results would vary. I was never expecting an exact replica. I also understand that the inspiration photo was taken in completely different lighting than the photos of my result, and I know lighting can dramatically change how hair color appears. I took all of that into consideration. Even with those differences, I still feel that what I received wasn't simply a variation of the inspiration--it was a completely different color direction. I wasn't expecting perfection, but I did expect my hair to be moving toward the look I had requested. Instead, the final result was much lighter, warmer, and more orange than the rich brunette with soft, neutral caramel dimension I had asked for. The inspiration photo and my final result weren't just slightly different--they looked like two entirely different color goals. My hair also felt noticeably drier afterward, to the point that I ended up cutting about four inches off the ends. I called the salon and scheduled a correction because I genuinely wanted to work together to get closer to the look I originally requested. Unfortunately, the correction appointment was even more disappointing than the original service. Instead of listening to my concerns, the stylist immediately argued with me and insisted that this was exactly what I had asked for. He told me my hair was already "caramel enough" and refused to do lowlights because he felt my hair looked fine the way it was. He then tossed several color swatches onto my lap and told me to pick a color. When I asked if they were semi-permanent, he told me the salon didn't carry semi-permanent color, only a gloss and permanent color. The swatches he gave me were all dark browns, which wasn't what I was asking for, and when I questioned them, he responded that I knew color theory well enough to know what my hair would turn out like. He also told me my ends were compromised and that there wasn't much he could do for me. Before this service, my hair was healthy enough that I wasn't concerned about the ends. Leaving that appointment feeling like I was being blamed for the condition of my hair after a highlighting service was incredibly upsetting. The most disappointing part wasn't just the color--it was the way I was treated. I expected a professional conversation and a collaborative effort to find a solution. Instead, I felt dismissed, argued with, and made to feel like my concerns weren't valid. By that point, I no longer trusted him to work on my hair, so I left without any correction. I paid $350 for this service and walked away with hair I'm unhappy with, hair that feels significantly drier than before, and no resolution

I got my hair done by Jasmine (@hairbyjasminelozano on Instagram) a while back, and I still think…read moreabout how much I loved my experience with her. I honestly miss going to her! From the moment I walked in, the whole experience felt very personalized and almost concierge like. The salon itself is so cute, and I loved that they use Kerastase products because those are some of my favorites. Jasmine did an amazing job on my haircut. She gave me beautiful layers, brought my hair back to life, and really took her time making sure everything looked right. Jasmine was confident and knowledgeable while still being incredibly kind and humble. She talked me through everything she was doing, answered my questions, and made me feel completely comfortable in her chair. I've had some not so great hair experiences in the past, so having a stylist who actually listened to me and made me feel comfortable meant a lot. I've actually tried multiple times to get back into Jasmine's chair since then. Whenever I've been back in San Diego temporarily, I've wanted to book something like a toner, brunette balayage, or just something subtle to add dimension to my naturally dark hair. I've consulted with her several times over the phone and through text about what I could do, but unfortunately our schedules just haven't lined up. Since I don't live in San Diego anymore and am usually only there for a few days at a time for work, scheduling a longer hair appointment can be really difficult. Through all of that, Jasmine has been SO patient and understanding with me. I've gone back and forth with her about appointments and ideas more than once without actually being able to make the timing work, and she has never made me feel bad or like I was wasting her time. Some stylists can get frustrated when you're asking questions or can't immediately commit to an appointment, but Jasmine has always remained kind, helpful, and understanding of the fact that I'm constantly going back and forth between San Jose and San Diego. I really appreciate that about her. I genuinely hope I can make the timing work soon because I would absolutely trust her with my hair again, especially for color. I would love to eventually have her do a brunette balayage or highlights and add some dimension while still keeping my hair healthy. If you're looking for someone in San Diego who is talented, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and actually cares about the health of your hair, I definitely recommend Jasmine. I had such a positive experience with her and genuinely wish her nothing but the best. Hopefully I'll be back in her chair ASAP!
