A friend of mine recommended Hailey to me, so I gave her a call. Several times. It took about a week to actually get in touch with her. She apologized and said she was out of town, so I figured it was a one-off event. I had a cut with her which was fine - she was personable, the cut was decent although I wasn't too fond of the bangs, but my bangs can be tricky so whatevs, no biggie. The second time I tried to book with her I called on a Friday. She called me back on Wed. I'm sorry, but it's not acceptable to call back almost a WEEK after the initial call. I have a limited time frame within which I need a cut before I travel for a month. I tried another person from the salon - Marcie - on Wed. She still hasn't gotten back to me either. Granted, it's only been two days, but I'd rather be able to call up a place and get something on the books right then instead of dealing with all the waiting to hear back and leaving messages back and forth. Once I decided to officially give up on this place I called another salon and IMMEDIATELY got an appointment with no fuss. I don't know why the stylists at Pixie insist on managing their own appointment books if they're not going to keep up with actually scheduling folks. read more

Pixie is a casual and laid back salon in south park. The people who work here are extremely nice and unpretentious (nice for a salon). I've been going to Michelle for a few years and couldn't be happier with her. She's given me some great hairdos. The place itself is super cool with exposed brick and sky lights. I strongly recommend checking this place out. read more

Are you looking for a great haircut? Do you need your salon to be all hipster cool and such? Do you trust me? If you've answered yes to any of these questions then the Pixie Salon is for you. Admittedly, as a man my hair needs tend to be few. However, all the women I see there look great...and I am speaking of their hair. read more

I recently went to Pixie as a first time customer, but I'll be back! I went in with an idea of what I wanted and Marcie genuinely took the time to make sure I was happy with my cut. The decor is stylish and the space itself makes you feel comfortable. Prices are competitive with the area too read more

I have been to Pixie Salon a few times, and have had Amy cut and color my hair. This past time I had highlights put in, and they look AMAZING!! I have very thick hair, yet Amy took the time to put them in very finely so that it looked as natural as possible. They are by far the best highlights I have ever had done, and better yet the price was very reasonable. I DEFINITELY recommend Pixie Salon, more specifically Amy, to anyone who wants great highlights, friendly service, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. read more

I've been going here for years, they're the best, I wouldn't go anywhere else. They have an esthetician who does all sorts of great things: facials, waxing... she also sells amazing products for skin care. They sell all the Bumble and Bumble products. Also, they now sell Jane Iredale makeup, which is awesome. Everyone who works here is very knowledgeable and friendly. It has a great atmosphere and they sell local art. Go there. read more

Michelle knows hair! She is professional with added kindness and I am always satisfied. I like up-to-date styles and she will always give me an honest opinion when I ask her about my particular interest for a color cut or style. The products she has recommended for my hair work really well. She's someone you can trust! read more

Dear Jenny, My life has not been the same without you. My hair refuses to cooperate without your cuts and colors. Other "professionals" have tried to replicate your work, but with no success. It hurts, HURTS, to have others handle my hair, knowing that I will walk away with a mop, worse yet, sorority girl hair! Sigh, why can't I still live in San Diego, close to Pixie, where my hair will be under great care? Struggling, Anita read more

Really cute salon decor (brick exposed walls, retro feel). Reasonable prices. Consistently funky without too much edge hair styling. i'm always happy with my cut when I leave. read more

After moving from New Orleans (and away from a stylist I adored), I was nervous about finding a new stylist. Taking advice from my New Orleans stylist, I looked for SD girls whose hair color I liked and asked them who they saw for color. I only asked twice- and both times I got the same answer, "Amy at Pixie Salon." I made an appointment with Amy and I've been a loyal customer ever since. I've used Pixie for makeup services: Marcy is AMAZING and worked her skills to make my sister and I look flawless for my engagement party. I've also gotten a facial from Monique- the woman is a zen master who whipped my skin into perfect shape! In addition to being incredibly talented, the girls all have excellent taste. On more than one occasion I've left with perfume or a life-changing reed diffuser. Overall: Love those Pixie Girls. read more

Paula is amazing and god-send! I had a horrible haircut, that didnt blend and she saved it and MORE. It is seamless, as she described. LOVE her. So glad that I saw Pixie driving by one day and even more happy that I met Paula. I have been living in San Diego for over a year now and have only found bad haircuts until today. THANK YOU!!! read more

I've been going to Amy for a few years now at Pixie and I couldn't be happier. I always love my haircut and the different styles we have tried over the years. She is amazing. I also really like the salon. Everyone is incredibly friendly and professional. read more

I have been going to Michele at Pixie Salon since before she opened her own salon. Besides being an incredible sylist, she is a compassionate and caring person. She bends over backwards to make sure that her clients are happy with their hair. Michele is dependable and honest. I once asked her to do something different and she gently explained to me why it wouldn't work. Then she found a simple change that did work. Michele takes regular classes to keep current with new styles, techniques, and products. Michele is also very good with curly hair. Even though they sell products at the salon, Michele never pushes or even asks. I have to remind her that I want a certain product. The shop is always immaculate and all the stylists are friendly. I highly recommend Michele and Pixie Salon. read more

Michelle consistently creates great cuts & color. To me the true test is how well the cut grows out & highlights fade. I can go for months without a visit and hair still "wearable". Price affordable. Tough to get an appointment if you do not book another before you leave, but you will want to return...so schedule. read more

I recently moved to a near by neighborhood and heard about the talent that worked at Pixie. It wasn't b.s. Kimberly did a great cut. Bruce read more

Best Salon EVER! I'm super picky about my hair I was never able to find anyone who could lighten my dark brown hair, or who never cut off way more then I wanted. I am so happy I have the red hair I have always wanted a great cut and its the cutest place ever. The stylist are very fun, energetic and sweet. Marcie does my hair she is awesome she has awesome hair too along with all the other hairstylists. Its a warm atmosphere and you are in good peoples company. You will not regret your choice. The prices are very reasonable and you get over and above what you pay for. read more

We LOVE Pixie! Amy cuts my hair -- straight fine hair, and adds enough layers so that I have body but doesn't thin it out too much. She also handles my husband's insanely thick wavy hair perfectly. She saw a photo of what he wanted once, and has given him the same great cut consistently for months now. She's always available for a bang trim the same day I decide I can't take it anymore, and even gave me a free styling lesson when I couldn't figure out how to round-brush. An added bonus is that she's sweet, laid-back and knows the area so thoroughly that she helped us find a great garden store and dog sitter. Yay Amy! You're the best. read more

I was amazed by Amy who gave me curly hair for the first time ever and it was natural. Go know! I LOVED IT and she was delightful to work with. read more

Haley is amazing!!!! She did an amazing job on my hair in fact I've already scheduled my next appointment

I've had my hair cut by Amy a couple of times now. I was very happy with the way everything turned out. It was very easy to schedule an appointment (on a Saturday no less) and the price was well within my budget. The rest of the staff is very nice. I will be returning before the holidays for another cut! read more

Great place but not going back because my stylist, Paula now owns another salon & I go there now.

Love this place! I've been going to Marcie for about 5 years now and I have never had a bad experience. She always seems to do my hair exactly the way I pictured it! As well, the price point is pretty reasonable (considering how much some other salons charge) and she always is prompt on getting back to me. I drive all the way down here from Encinitas every time to get my hair done - but it's worth it :) read more

I've been going to pixie for a couple years now. Brooke does my hair, she's amazing. She listens and understands my hair needs which has given me great results. I trust her to do what looks and feels best for my lifestyle. I used to think my hair was a nuisance but now I love it. read more

I have been twice to see Yanina to get my nails done and she does an excellent job. My gel manicure lasted more than a month and my pedicure is going just as strong. Yanina has a wonderful personality to boot. The salon is a beautiful environment to have any service done. read more

Last week was my boyfriends Marine Ball and being that I'm not from San Diego i looked around Yelp and found Pixie Salon i contacted Marcie..she did an AWESOME job with both my hair and make-up i loved it everyone did =) and it didnt cost me an arm & a leg!! if i ever have an event in San Diego i will definitely go to her again! Thanks a bunch Marcie!!! read more

Love Pixie Salon! Love my stylist Michelle! She has been my stylist since she was working at her previous salon. She has styled my hair for my wedding when it was long and now I have a short pixie cut. I love going in to see her and letting her know what I want and she can read my mind because it always turns out exactly how I pictured it. That shows great hair skills! Michelle currently does my son's hair, now that he is trying to grow it out. I love everything she does, I have always been more than happy! read more

I'm not a high maintenance girl overall, but I am pretty particular about my locks. I checked these gals out on a referral and am delighted! The staff is professional, the salon is upscale and relaxing. Kimberly is my stylist and she is AMAZING. . . She's a color wizard. She takes her time to really find out what you want and what will work with your hair type. I feel like I'm at the spa when I go there and why not? I deserve it! I notice plenty of guys go here also. I'm actually getting compliments on my hair, feeling beautiful AND pampered, thanks Kimberly. read more

I've been getting my hair cut here for about 5 years or so by Marcie. LOVE this place! For the first time in my life, I love the hair cut as well as the color's I've chosen over the years. I highly recommend this salon! Very friendly and I've always gotten the appointment time I ask for. They are very relaxed group of people..... Check them out! read more

Sure friendly staff. They got my hair exactly how I wanted it. The atmosphere here is very mellow and welcoming

Only place I go for my haircut! Don't go as often as I should because I am broke, but when I do go I always leave very very happy! Amy does my hair, she's the best! read more

Kimberly took great care of me by squeezing me in for a very last minute same day appointment. Although I only had a semi-idea of what I wanted to do she guided me with great insights and created an amazing finished product. Kimberly and the rest of the salon exceeded my expectations! I loved the emphasis on small details, and the personalized french press they offer each client. read more

I've been in to see Kimberly three times now and couldn't be happier with her work! She is friendly, easy to get an appointment with and she really listens to what I want. Sometimes I hate the forced conversations that seem to be necessary during a cut but talking with Kimberly is just really easy and natural. As a former super-short-pixie wearing hair kinda gal, she's talked me through growing it out a bit, avoid a boring mom-bob and I totally trust my hair with her. Happy to have found you, Kimberly! read more

I had been going to a different stylist every few months for the past year and a half trying to find someone who can cut my pixie to my liking. I finally came to Marcie at Pixie Salon. She is definitely very skilled with short cuts and I am very picky. It's been two weeks and I absolutely love my cut everyday! Thank you Marcie! read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Monique is, she is experienced, knowledgeable, and a really sweet person ! I first starting getting facials around the time of my wedding and she made sure my skin was beautiful for all those memorable pictures. After my wedding I continued to see Monique for some help with problematic skin after discontinuing birth control pills and Retin A. She suggested 302 skincare as a way to naturally balance my skin in addition to other natural supplements. Five years later I still use 302 skincare and see Monique whenever I can squeeze in a facial which is usually only once a year but I would never go anywhere else. read more

Always professional always excellent-no other place to go for cut, color, facials and friends. Highly recommended!

I love Kim so much. I searched for so long for a stylist who really "gets" curly hair, and Kim is just that person. My whole family goes to her - my mom, my sister and a bunch of my cousins. She's just a joy, and always does such a great job. If she moves I'm following her. read more

Best pedicure yet!!! Yanina is awesome. She did an amazing job on my nails and is super sweet. Cute private room and overall great experience. I will definitely be going back. read more

I was looking for a new place to go get a cut! I saw all of the wonderful reviews here and thought I would give it a go! SUPER GLAD I DID! Super nice staff and I got a GREAT HAIRCUT!! Thanks kim! read more

Haley is the best! She is the only hair stylist that I've found that I like to go back to time and time again. She really listens to what you want in a hairstyle, and makes it look ten times better than you could imagine! Haley is definitely great at edgier cuts, which she does with a razor (which I loooove!) Her cuts also grow out to look even better than they did the first couple of weeks, which is a plus, and can cut your hair so that it looks great without a lot of maintenance every day :) read more

I read all of these great reviews on Yelp for Pixie Salon and decided to give it a try. It seemed like I had been getting the same hair cut forever and thought a new stylist would spice things up. The haircut I received was not horrible but it also didn't compare to the wonderful layered cuts I have had in the past. It was simple and nothing fancy or trendy about it. After I left and got a good look at it, it looked just dull as what I had walked in with. The cut doesn't even grow out well. The salon itself is nice and none of the stuck up attitudes you get at other salons. The prices are also decent. Pixie is a nice salon, saying it's the best salon is a stretch. It really all depends on what you are looking for. I won't be returning but if anyone knows of a stylist that cuts fantastic layers please let me know. read more
