You can tell they really care, and I also got a drink from the menu, it was so good. Kristina was my stylish and she absolutely killed it. As an Asian girly, it's honestly been difficult finding a stylish who really understands exactly what I want and knows how to work with my hair type and texture. However, Kristina listened to what I wanted, paid so much attention to detail, and my haircut turned out even better than I expected. I left feeling so confident and happy with my hair. I'll definitely be coming back and high recommend booking with Kristina. So grateful to have finally found a stylish who gets it!

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.

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.

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

Tons of foot traffic to observe as I enjoy my service. Second, the ambience of this salon cannot be understated. Modern, cool, extremely artistic. You can see the pride in ownership and of the staff by the way they maintain this business. Location and salon aside, the stylists are incredibly talented, thoughtful and artistic. Passion and style seeps through their scissors and brushes. All staff members are professional, kind, and eager to help. I came in for a cut by Hannah, color by Jerrod and keratin tx by Dan. I walked in with extremely difficult hair. My hair is wirey and frizzy; it looks extremely damaged-- as if I put my hair through a lot of damage when in reality, I'm very low maintenance! I came in seeking a haircut and some golden tones to brighten my hair up for summer. Right when I walked in to this salon, I knew I was in the right hands. Jerrod was very attentive to my coloring desires; he took his time answering all of my questions and when assessing my hair. He was extremely knowledgeable about color. In just one session Jerrod was able to bring light into my previously dull hair. The process wasn't overdrawn and was very comfortable. It can be extremely hard to find the right shade of blonde for my olive skin tone but Jerrod did NOT disappoint. The color is perfect and the babylites give my hair dimension, light and much needed change. Next I had my haircut by Hannah. Again, she too was very attentive to my needs. She really took the time to listen to what I was seeking out of this cut. Hannah was able to bring my ideas to life and elevate them to the next level. I have never been able to rock a blunt, short haircut. But Hannah was positive I could. I was soooo surprised. She took the time to add dimension to my hair with layers. When I walk, my hair moves! I am absolutely thrilled with her ability to give me previously unobtainable results. Last, I had a keratin treatment by Dan. He was thorough and detail oriented. He took pride in ensuring every last hair had been treated. In the end my hair was blow dryed and straightened to integrate the keratin into my hair. The keratin Changed my hair texture from coarse to silky smooth! The keratin treatment really tied the cut and color all together. My hair was now manageable and beautiful!! I couldn't stop admiring it in the mirror. Dan checked over my hair cut, color, and keratin treatment and BOOM I was finished. The whole process was seamless from start to finish. I have never been one to care about hair but after this treatment I see my hair as the ultimate accessory. I will be sure to refer Dleux to all my friends and coworkers. Truly this whole process has been incredible. Thank you dleux!!!

I want to address the blatant and disappointing inaccuracies in the salon's response to my review…read more I am extremely disappointed that instead of acknowledging the concerns I raised to improve future client experiences, the business chose to misrepresent what actually occurred during my visit. To be completely clear: my stylist did not consult with me even once about what I wanted my hair to look like. This includes tone - my hair is not even the correct color. The only person I spoke to about my hair goals was the assistant, not the stylist. At one point, I even had to ask the assistant whether I would be getting a root smudge (I've been getting my hair done for 15 years and am familiar with what is typically involved in my services), because again, the stylist did not communicate with me at all about my preferences. The stylist blow-dried a single section of my hair and then did not return. After that first section, the next and last time I saw her was as I was walking out of the salon, while she was actively blow-drying another client's hair. Because of this, there is no possible way she could have done a "final check," assessed breakage, or evaluated the overall condition of my hair as suggested in the response. While the stylist did eventually call to apologize (which is the bare minimum), I did not hear from the salon itself. If they truly cared about hearing/fixing my experience, I would have heard directly from them. I will not be returning to this salon or this stylist. Why would I return to a place where I felt disrespected, rushed, unheard, and where my hair was damaged? I also want to clarify that I have no issue with a stylist working alongside an assistant. In fact, I mentioned in my original review that the assistant was very sweet. My issue is with a stylist who does not communicate with me at all, is dismissive and rude, and is so overbooked that she is barely present for the service I was paying for. I did not include this originally, but the stylist was also extremely rude to the assistant, so much so that I considered stepping in because of how poorly she was speaking to her. Overall, the fact that the owner chose to respond with inaccuracies instead of genuinely addressing the issues raised is very reflective of this business.
