Washing Station

Oh my gosh I can't recommend this place enough. From the second you walk in you feel right at home. They immediately offer you a drink for when you're getting your hair done! They have beer, kombucha, coffee, etc and they'll bring it over to you and your stylist. The place is stunning and everyone is so charismatic and happy to be there. I was recommended to see Shaun by two different people, and let me say he exceeded my expectations! He did the best haircut I've ever had in my entire life. I've truly never been so happy with the final result! He did exactly what I asked for and I don't think I'm great at explaining my vision. He just got me and did exactly that. Also he's just so fun to talk to! Very happy that I've found my stylist and salon here in San Diego! Definitely come here and definitely book Shaun!

Today, I decided to get a Blowout from Carryn to look festive for a function tomorrow. She was super upbeat and she did a great job washing my hair & even gave me a scalp massage. Very relaxing! She efficiently did my blowout and gave me some cute beachy waves. The salon is spacious and they were decorating for the holidays when I arrived. I received a friendly greeting & I was offered a complimentary drink. They have alcoholic & nonalcoholic selections. I opted for a Spindrift. Overall, this was a fun & satisfactory experience and I will definitely come back! Thanks, Carryn & PaperDoll!

I made a last minute appointment and luckily was accepted so last minute due to cancellation from someone else. I loved my time at PaperDoll and am excited to continue going back to see my stylist Caitlin. Caitlin was absolutely amazing and did a fantastic job with my hair and we had an amazing chat during our appointment, she was an absolute pleasure to be around. She showed me how to style my curls and what products to use and tools will work the best. I cannot recommend her enough for her skills. The vibe of the salon is super cute and very clean and relaxing and you can even order food and have it delivered to you in the salon from next door. Oh and of course Caitlin gave me a pokémon card and I will be back to trade cards at my next appointment!

Yeah, absolutely love my new haircut/bangs from ashlyn who just moved from Boston! 10 out of 10

I love how the back!

I made an appointment with Cindy she came highly recommended on the website for short hair. I had an overgrown pixie cut and my color needed correction. She was very patient with me and listened to all my concerns and understood my frustration in certain areas. We agreed on a color together then moved into the haircut. Cindy explained everything as she moved to the next step I loved that made me feel comfortable with what she was doing. I learned to blow dry my hair correctly. Thank you Cindy and all the staff at PaperDoll Salon.

Carryn did an incredible job! As someone with short blonde hair, finding a stylist you can fully trust with both the cut and color is so important. She nailed the style I was going for while also keeping my hair healthy and strong. If you're looking for a stylist who truly knows what they're doing, definitely book with Carryn!

How much would a full balayage cost for medium length dark brown hair?

Hi Chanel! Balayage starts at $160 and can go up to $300 depending on how light you would like to go, amount of hair and any added treatments. We would love to set up a consultation to assess your hair and go over details and pricing!

Is there a stylist in particular that specializes in curly hair?

Our stylists Emma and Cindy both do great with curly hair :)

Do you have air conditioning for hot days?

Yes we do!

I've been going to Uyen since 2021, and it's truly the most beautiful my hair has ever looked…read more My natural hair is very fine, and when I first came to her it was just past my shoulders. Uyen added extensions and created a gorgeous bronde color. Over the years we've tried different looks, from very blonde to closer to my natural dark blonde, and I loved it every time! What impressed me the most is how healthy my hair stayed the entire time. After wearing extensions for over two years, I took them out for a while and my natural hair actually looked about 30% thicker than before (The thickest it has ever been). I just got a new set of extensions again and absolutely love them. I went from short hair to almost waist length, and this time we did wavy extensions to match my natural texture. It came out beautifully - the color matches perfectly and it looks very natural, even when I let my hair air dry without styling. Uyen is incredibly attentive and works very meticulously. She really listens and takes the time to make everything blend perfectly. I completely trust her with my hair and highly recommend her, especially if you have fine hair and are considering extensions.

When I first went here, the place gave some really good, high quality haircuts. The last few…read morevisits, however, not so much. I used to get my haircut from the owner, Freddy, who seemed to do a really good job at cutting, while also seemingly personable and talking to me about my day, and what's been going on. As time went on though, and considering how far I would have to drive to downtown and get a haircut, things started to fall off. I would always make sure to put myself down for an appointment but I would often have to wait for another client who he would be running over with on time. Once maybe twice is okay (I went for around 10 appointments or so), but it was pretty much every time I went I had to wait an extra 5-15 minutes before I was in the chair. Some haircuts turned out really good, and others were a little sloppy and seemed rushed since he was already over on his time and had to compensate somewhere, which I guess was sometimes me. I also went to try out the perm hairstyle and got it done by Sheila, but the perm was $200~ and ended up only lasting maybe 2-3 months despite delicate care in the process to make it stay longer. The way she did it also didn't seem to be the best since a lot of the curls were really loose even though I told her I wanted it to last a while (especially considering the price). Maybe I was the one-off that ended up not staying or looking good with perms, but I was pretty disappointed with it. Only thing I can really note that was good was that I think it helped with some texturing of my hair to not be so straight all the time. I believe the vibe of this location is good, but definitely got loud since they shared the space with 2 other businesses and also had a gym studio move in above them causing a lot of extra noise. I'm seeing now they have a new location (I only went to the old spot) which would make this issue hopefully non-existent. Since I always went out of my way to come get my haircut here, it was showing some serious diminishing returns compared to just finding a location closer which I eventually did after I moved. I believe Freddy and his team will continue to have success, but I will not be coming here anymore due to repeated issues I was having.

She left the wefts not glued bf she put them in. Therefore tattered and damaged ends on the weft. When I told her she asked what happened. I'm not a hair dresser and trying to find someone on a Sunday to fix my mess was what I had to do because of work. I have known her for over ten years and because I couldn't get back to her ASAP she canceled all my future appointments with no phone call but through text which is extremely disrespectful. Also I referred several people and she charged me $150 more than the people I referred. I always tip 20%. I'm so glad this happened because when she was told not to worry about it I found someone to fix my hair. She asked if I wanted to come in on Tuesday when she's known for 12 years I work 12 hour days. I had no expectations of her coming in but she offered to take then out but would not put them back in. That would've been a nightmare. This has happened a couple times now. She over charges and her work has gone so down hill. I just didn't want to deal with my work and finding someone new. I should've left when she just out of no where started upping her prices only on me. I work extremely hard and she upped her prices and lowered her standards knowing I'd pay it. Don't come here!
