When it TRULY matters... I depend exclusively on BJ Noman. Even if I'm out of state, I will wait until I can get back to Moda Hair Design and see BJ. COVID-19 has really put a dent in A LOT OF our opportunities for self-care, grooming, etc. (not to mention EVERYTHING else EVER known to MAN!) but the quality of BJ's cuts allow me to know that my hair will be flawless until the health department allows him to get back to work -- no matter how long it gets, it still looks fresh... just... "longer." You can't find that "just anywhere." Bottom line: When it TRULY matters... trust BJ Noman At Moda Hair Design. read more

Michele is wonderful and I go where she is and this place is a nice atmosphere. I've gone to Michele for years and when I came back to SD she moved here and I don't go to any other stylist in SD. read more

I've been debating on whether or not to even make a review. But I figured it can't hurt. I've been to see Della twice now. We met a few years ago at a IBEW union event where our spouses are both members. She was so friendly and easy to talk to. After crossing paths a year or so later I found out this is where she works. I was in dire need of a new stylist. My hair is very curly, easy to cut too short and is often damaged by less knowledge stylists color application. I also wanted magenta highlights. Not only did she knock the haircut out of the ballpark, but the color was so VIBRANT!!! I loved everything about my hair once she got her hands on it! Best part was it wasn't completely damaged by the fashion color! I came back a year later with very outgrown highlights and wanted a totally different color. Once again, knocked the cut and color out of the park!!! No damage to my hair and she was very careful to not cut too much off my hair. Checking in with me the whole time on the length. Not to mention she is actually very reasonably priced for the service and quality! Services aside, I suffer from SEVERE PTSD and I don't have an easy time with socializing. But with Della it's easy! I laughed and really enjoyed my visit! I will be back for the excellent service and great conversations! THANK YOU DELLA!!! read more

Christopher has cut my hair for nearly 3 years and every time I've been happy with the finished result. He's consistent in his process, and always makes sure I'm satisfied with how the cut looks. Recently, Christopher encouraged me to style my hair differently (which I've always wanted to, but didn't know how). He taught me how to get the look I want and textures my hair to look fuller. I trust his expertise to make me look good each time. Also, he's a great guy who cares about his clients, and will keep you entertained during your haircut! read more

I walked in and was seen by Melissa immediately. Salon is conveniently located by hillcrest brewing company and spectrum chiropractor. I went to my appointment, walked in to moda for a haircut, and then popped into the brewery for happy hour. Melissa was fun and made my experience very enjoyable. I highly recommend and I will be back to visit soon read more

I am so excited that I found Vy at Moda! I initially found Vy on Instagram and saw all the beautiful color work she did. I first contacted her by email and after discussing what I was looking for we set an appointment. As my appointment date was coming up, i started getting anxious and Vy fit me in last minute, 2 days before my scheduled appointment. I came to her with faded out green hair and she turned my mane into gorgeous, silky unicorn hair. Vy is so personable and creative - she listened to what i wanted, was honest about what colors would work and then took my idea and multiplied it by 10! I have since been back for touch-up color and will definitely be back for more color in the near future. read more

I highly recommend Christopher at Moda Hair Design. Although pricing is higher than most places, you clearly get what you pay for. Christopher takes his time with his customers and pays plenty of attention to detail. If you are looking to grow your hair out, he is a particularly good stylist to see because he will make sure that he cuts your hair accordingly to how it grows. He will also give you styling tips, which are quite useful. I would definitely go there again. read more

Samantha , she is amazing! My hair hasn't been treated for years... Well by a professional & she is that, a professional. She did a great job, I love that she listened to what I wanted. She has cut my hair before & recently she colored it for me. I love it every single time. Prices are good too, you get what you pay for. Give thanks Sammy! read more

Can someone tell me why the stylists kids are always in the salon? Look I get it. Working parents rock and work hard. But hey your clients are looking for an escape and a professional zone when they come pay quite a bit of money to get their service. Kids running around and grumpy teenagers all the time is just not working for you. Plenty of working parents would never be able to bring their kids to work. I get if it happens once in awhile but this seems like a daycare for your kids. read more

Didn't answer the phone. When I walked in only 1 girl was working and said she had no availability through the end of the day. It was 4:30 & they closed at 8. read more

This is going to be a bit of a long review because I'm a talkative and descriptive person by nature but it's totally worth it. Whenever I move somewhere new my biggest struggle is finding a dentist, doctor, and a hairstylist I can trust. Ever since becoming familiar with San Diego and trying stylists I highly recommend Lovely. She'll make you look lovely. (Pun intended). I went in my first time just for a trim (I was super nervous because I have long hair and there have been times when they keep cutting away and I've walked out with minus 7 inches:(...) and she gave me exactly what I wanted. I was so happy I still had my long hair and no split ends. She's really gentle and super nice. Then when I went back for another trim she asked me if I wanted a little texture in the front of my face and I had no idea what she meant but she has amazing hair so I told her to go for it and I looked great I had definition that flattered face. She's styled my hair before for dates and done my make up and it's looked great, I've felt so pretty walking out and have gotten compliments from everyone that saw me-- I'm not exaggerating she's a makeup artist, too. She knows what she's doing. I completely trust her. My most recent visit with her it was just another trim and my plain Jane hair got long layers she knew would fit my daily routine, it's low maintenance and just a little something extra for my hair I can't get over. read more

After finding out my last stylist moved to LA, I was on the hunt for someone new! I was referred to Brittanee by Justine H. and I'm so glad I booked with her! (: I don't dye my hair anymore, so all I needed was a cut. She did such a perfect job with it, I love my layers and how well blended they are. I will definitely be returning when I need a trim! read more

I had severely damaged hair due to years of box dye and bleach. Three years ago I met Samantha Steele and my hair has since seen new life. I had about 3-4 inches of hair on top of hair due to burning my hair with bleach. I currently have the best hair of my life. Through the years of going to Samantha Steele we have colored my hair beautiful blonde, brunette, fiery red, and even blue. My hair has continued grow and feel amazing through every process. I recommend Samantha to all of my friends. Also number one head massage in the world. read more

Looking for a great stylist? Go see @CosmoVy! Great hair & great service! Vy has been my hair stylist for a few years now & every visit leaves me a very happy, satisfied & beautified customer! I used to have long fine hair & decided in 2012 to take the leap into the "pixie world." Vy did wonders with my hair making the transition an exciting experience, calming my fears, reviving my color & giving me the look I was craving. I loved my new look so much that I've maintained it to this day & the health of my hair has improved drastically (even with all my medical issues) bc of the great care Vy has put into my hair! Always a pleasure @CosmoVy! Thank you! read more

It was a Sunday and I had just got the news that I was scheduled for an interview on Monday morning. I was super excited until I looked into the mirror and realized that my hair was a nasty "mommy" mess and that there was no way anyone would schedule me on such short notice. Luckily Lovely agreed to see me and gave me such a wonderful haircut. The next day I had the confidence to do great in my interview and even got the job! I highly recommend Lovely. She definitely did some magic on my hair and I'll never forget it. I'll be returning. read more

This place is awesome! I went to get my highlights and BJ Norman the owner is very knowledgeable about hair. He did a great job. I have thick dark hair, lot of people don't know how to do it correctly... I recommend. read more

Christopher is amazing!! I am very particular about my hair but he does exactly what I want every time! He also has an amazing personality and every single time I go there I leave in 1000 times better mood because of him! read more

I've been living in San Diego for nearly two years now and I'm happy to say that my search for the perfect hair stylist is now over! When I came to see Vy I hadn't had my hair professionally done in 6 months and it was kinda a hot mess. I wanted to dye my hair black with some hints of color underneath to be able to hide at my day job. In regard to the cut I wanted a trim (since I'm trying to grow my hair out) in addition to a funky undercut. I knew I was asking a lot and I wasn't sure if it would be possible considering the state of my hair. Vy freaking nailed it!!! I was open to her suggestions and everything she did was exactly how I wanted my hair to be. Additionally, Vy paid great attention to detail to make sure the end result was flawless. Needless to say I was thrilled with how my hair turned out. I got my hair done yesterday and after two showers it still feels incredibly silky smooth. I've gotten tons of compliments on my hair too. I will definitely be coming back to Vy and would highly recommend her. It's a relief to know you can go to someone who will truly take care of your hair and having that piece of mind is priceless! read more

I went here this past weekend to get my hair trimmed. I have really long hair so I was a little worried that this salon may do the thing where I say "a couple inches" and then I leave with 6 inches less of hair. BUT Sara did not do that! She was already super busy and I didn't call for an appointment before tagging along on my sister's appointment, but she managed to work me in. She listened to what I wanted and offered helpful tips for cute simple layers. I will definitely be returning here for my next trim! My sister went in for balayage coloring and it turned out beautiful! 10/10 recommend Sara :) read more

So, Brittanee is awesome! Literally walked out the salon to run errands and first thing I get is "wow dam you are sexy." definitely going back to her. read more

BJ saved my hair after someone else did a horrible job. He is amazing and made my hair look so good. Definitely going back.

My hair was botched! I needed help correcting it and Christopher came to my rescue! He listened to what I wanted it to look like and fixed the mess that I had. Thank you again! You rock!! read more

BJ is probably the best hair stylist I have ever been too!!! He truly knows what will look great for your skin tone, facial structure, etc and you just have to trust him!!! I've never received so many compliments on my hair after my last visit with him!! He truly is spectacular, I won't go anywhere else!! read more

Vy has done it again! I can always trust her with my hair. I've had my hair cut and colored by her before, and she never disappoints. I came in today with my (unhealthy) hair grown down to my waist, and left with an amazing shoulder length cut with a reddish color, feeling so light and smooth. I will definitely come back for my next hair styling. I highly recommend her! :) read more

I been going to Samantha for close to 6 years, and love going in to see her. She has always done a great job with my fine thin hair, and makes it look thicker and healthier. The salon itself is clean, and all the other stylists I've meet there are great. I am moving out of town, and hate to try to find someone new, cause they can't measure up to Samantha! read more

I love Christopher. He knows exactly what i want and he is the best stylist i could ask for!!! He has fixed my hair everytime i get it cut aomewhere else. Ive found out that its just not worth going to a great clips or super cuts. Thanks so much friend you are amazing. read more

Love this salon and Chris has been my go to stylist for years when I visit the San Diego area! He is like a chemist creating the best possible color for your hair, he is genius! I am always extremely happy, he performs magic!! I just wished I lived closer so he could be my full time stylist... read more

This salon has a very open layout which I enjoy. The owner and stylists are very welcoming. I booked my appointment with Sara Leigh and she is absolutely wonderful! She takes her time with the consultation to make sure she gets it right. I am the type of person that would cry after getting my hair done... but not anymore. She goes the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable. Very relaxing. I am so happy and thrilled with the cut and color. I have already received several compliments on her work. Thank you Sara Leigh!!! read more

Vy is one of my long time friends but I am very much a critic when it comes to people who are experts in their profession. She has shown dramatic progress in her work as a hairstylist and I recommend her to ALL my family and friends! You will not only see her beautiful work in pictures and in person but you will also learn to appreciate how knowledgable she is in hair products, styles, color and cuts. She deserves recognition and I have no doubt she will become more popular in the years to come. Go Vy! P.S. The salon is awesome and you definitely get this small neighborhood feel which I love! Everyone who works here is very welcoming and professional. :) read more

I drive all the way from Los Angeles for this salon! Book with Lesli, she is the best of the best!!!

Love the new location and the friendly environment! The vibes are super cool as are the wonderful stylists. I would just like to go on record by saying Lesli Rydlik is the absolute best! If you want great style and absolutely amazing color by a super duper fabulous gal; she is definitely the person you want to see! read more

I love Christopher! My hair has never been this healthy and I have never been this satisfied! I had trust issues with my previous hair stylist and Christopher has helped me get over these issues and make me more comfortable in my own hair. The one thing that I have always had issues with is that I have two bald spots identical on each side of my head that are hard to cover up. Chris has done an amazing job in helping me have the short sides I want as well as not giving it away that I have two bald spots. I can't thank you enough, Chris! I love my hair and I love you! read more
