I had a very good haircut experience with Darren today. He really listened to what I was looking for and had lots of suggestions and asked good questions on things I didn't think about. I didn't mention it at the appointment, but my scalp is very sensitive so hair pulling usually gives me a headache. He was so smooth and there was no pulling- not even with the round brush during the blowout! I like that you can book online here. I have already made my follow up appointment! read more

i'm actually very sad writing this review because i was genuinely so excited for this appointment, but i can't believe how terrible the service and communication of this salon is. i had made an appointment in advance, and less than 24hrs before my scheduled time i received a text asking to move my appointment to an hour and a half later. i thought id be able to make it but didnt hear back. i then got a confirmation at 6:45am the morning of. i responded and said that i couldn't make the new time slot. no response. i then called right when they opened and explained my situation - my babysitter wasn't able to change her schedule in such short notice. the girl on the phone says "no problem" and asks if i want to reschedule. i said yes but that i would have to call back with a date. she's says 'ok' and cancels my appointment. what she failed to mention was that she was going to charge my card $220. now, i'm no stranger to a cancellation fee, however, i was unable to make it due to THEIR time change. also, if clients are expected to give 48 hours notice, shouldn't you be required to give the same notice? so i wasn't given the same courtesy AND you're going to charge me for it? and how the came up with $220 is a mystery because they've never even seen my hair, what color it is, how long it is etc...but anyways i call again and speak to the same girl. she tells me that it's up to the stylist and the manager to determine if i can get a refund or put it towards my next service - not only do i not know when that would be, but why would i ever want to go back there after this? i hear back from the same girl and, big surprise, they don't want to give me the refund. she asked if i wanted to speak to a manager and i said yes. oh well, "she's working at the salon so it won't be till like later." so i've been naively been sitting for hours waiting for this manager to call me. the salon closes at 8pm and here i am still waiting on that call. from what i can see, this place has pulled this type of service with others as well. i.e. cancelling someone's appointment 30 minutes before because their hair wasnt long enough...? or charging someone $100+ for a trim, or adding extra charges without being transparent. overall i'm just so disappointed because i was really looking forward to this. it was my first "treat" postpartum and now im out $200 for literally nothing. read more

I came to kenalee with some really bad highlights and she did such an amazing job fixing my hair. she did a beautiful blend so the grow out was so amazing and very minimal damage. I moved away and I have yet to find a hairstylist that does such an amazing job! she's so sweet and very attentive to detail (: read more

This salon is excellent! Jessica always does my hair to perfection. Everytime I come out, I feel super pretty!

Haven't been back in a while but the service and the space is still great. I made an appt for a mon afternoon and the shop wasn't too busy and I found parking about a block away. My stylist was great! Asked me what style I wanted and since I was getting a decent amount of she checked in a couple times with me before cutting more off to make sure I was happy. She did a dry cut, washed my hair and then blow dry and styled. Took a little over an hour and I was really happy with the final result. Pretty reasonable price at $77 before tip. read more

I've been getting my hair done for 40 years in big cities LA, New York Toronto, London , LA-live in San Diego now and I've been to many different stylists in San Diego by any means I am not a cheap person however after getting less than a partial highlight of hair and a trim when I went to the front to pay my bill, they said it was $500, my jaw dropped , so I'm gonna say that's not worth it. I mean, I've gone way better hair done here for way less so yeah was not worth it by any means. My hair is above my collarbone and there wasn't that many highlights to be honest - she said it was more than a partial and it's not it was less than a partial. I've been getting my hair done for 40 years and I've had a full head of highlights that taken more than an hour and a half to be high, she gave me less than 15 highlights and said it was a half and it wasn't. It's a complete lie. I'm not an idiot , and it was a trim and was an ok job at best ! Maybe a better stylist would prove that amount but even then I've been styled by the greatest stylus and it wasn't that price so she ain't worth it. It was way below price point. What a sham . And on top of it, I was seen 25 minutes wait after me appointment time ; no apologies - and I got a ticket cause you can't park more than two hours around the business so my whole appointment plus tip and the ticket cost more than $600.!!! This is not even the best hair job I've gotten in the city. I don't recommend . Sad to say I'm underwhelmed. I've had my hair done way better at other places . read more

I had an amazing experience getting my hair done at rinse with Kenalee! I only wanted to add a little brightness around my face and not overdue it with the blonde - she took the time to really listen to what I wanted and the color came out even better than I imagined. So happy with the results!! read more

Go to Darren Chiang for a haircut!! He did sooo good and literally saw my vision and made it come to life. He didn't push layers onto me like most stylists. He was able to create movement in my hair just by adding face framing. I'm obsessed and he gives the best blowout. His attention to detail is AWESOME and I will only trust him with cutting my hair from now on. Best haircut I've ever had! Cannot recommend him enough! He is also very gentle with long, thick hair! read more

I got a full set of highlights and a fresh cut by Kenalee and have never loved my hair more! She is so kind and addressed all my concerns about my hair and did exactly what I asked for. I could not recommend her more read more

I absolutely recommend going to rinse and getting your hair done by Annie! She is good at what she does and it shows. Her professionalism and friendliness leaves you looking and feeling great! She has done my wash/ color / cut and even updo style for all my special events and even just because. (Refer to photos) she's amazing! Aside from the great service the salon is always clean and welcoming when you arrive. read more

I had the absolute best experience with Jaye at Rinse Salon! From the moment I sat in her chair, I could tell how much care and attention to detail she puts into her work. She listened to what I wanted, made thoughtful suggestions, and checked in with me every step of the way. As a busy mama, I don't always get the chance to slow down and feel pampered, but Jaye truly made me feel seen, cared for, and beautiful. I walked out not only loving my hair but feeling more confident and refreshed. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who combines skill with genuine heart. read more

Rinse Salon - Fresh cut with soft highlights - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

This salon completely misled me and I want to warn anyone before they walk in here. During the consultation the stylist told me my visit would be cheap and even made it sound like I would be saving money compared to my first appointment. That turned out to be the biggest lie of the whole experience. I came in for what I thought was a tiny refresh which was front roots, FOUR foils in the back, and a gloss. That's it. Then he offered to "dust the ends" (something I never asked for) which took literally two minutes. Later I learned he charged me $107 for that "trim." The total bill was $327 for what was basically the bare minimum of color work. Meanwhile, my first appointment, which was a full partial highlight with gloss, cost $285. Somehow a micro service cost more than a full highlight. Make that make sense. Charging $220 for four foils and slipping in a full haircut price for a trim I didn't want is beyond unreasonable it's shady. None of this pricing was mentioned beforehand and I wasn't told the stylist raised his rates. When I questioned it I got a long guilt trippy explanation that still didn't justify anything. The pricing is inconsistent, overpriced, and absolutely not transparent. If you don't want to be blindsided with a bill that makes no sense, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I won't be coming back and I wouldn't recommend this salon to anyone who values honesty. read more

Be warned that they will charge you for absolutely everything down to the dime. What should all be included in a standard custom color is individually charged. Not to mention they allow begining stylists to charge these outrageous prices. 5 hours in the chair and $600 for just a partial highlight, not even by a senior stylist. I'd advise you to book somewhere where the stylists are more professional and efficent. read more

Joey was amazing and made my hair even better than I had envisioned! Great personality will be back !!

They called me 30 mins before my scheduled appt to tell me they couldn't cut my hair because it wasn't long enough, after asking me to send pictures of my hair to them. read more

This is my 3rd time visiting this salon, and each of my three visits has been fantastic. The salon itself is aesthetically pleasing. I booked a consultation and haircut appointments with Monica, and she was wonderful. She's friendly, warm, personable, knowledgeable, and passionate. I especially appreciated the care and education I received from her. For example, Monica explained the proper hair washing technique to get the most out of my haircut. Like whaaaaaat, I haven't received service like that, and those moments right there are invaluable to me. read more

I appreciate the ease of booking and the full description of each service, including the duration. The salon is bright and has a very earthy, welcoming feel! Be sure to take up their offer on a cup of coffee, too. Admittedly, hair maintenance is not a priority for me, so Stephanie suggested what would fit my lifestyle - from cut to color, I love it! read more

Joey is the BEST. He's so attentive to detail and always talks you through the process while working with you. The blend in my hair is always seamless and natural-looking. On top of that, he's such a genuine, kind person and a great conversationalist -- the time flies every appointment. I leave feeling confident and obsessed with the results every time.

I recommend this hair salon 100% . They actually listen to you and work with you on the look you want . They are straightforward they don't push you , quality vs quantity yes it can be pricey but it's great investment if you want hair done the correct way . Summer is amazing I recommend her ! Mike was amazing in helping me book and gave samples . The vibe chill and very professional. Going from red to blond wasn't easy but summer helped make expectations very realistic and went above and beyond the explained process. Thank you Rinse for making this salon feel welcoming and inclusive regardless of the price range you're able to afford. read more

I got a bob haircut yesterday and had a phenomenal experience with my stylist, Summer.

First of all my appointment was not at 3:30pm it was at 4:00pm with Monica De La Rosa. I got there a little earlier around 3:45pm and the manager Annie Sparks checked me in. I told her I was there for a 4:00 appointment with Monica (not knowing there were 2). She told me to have a seat and Monica will be right out. A Monica comes out and tells me to have a seat. As she's drying my hair I tell her my friend Zsuzsanna referred me and she just cut her hair last week. This Monica walks to confirm with Annie if I was her appointment which she then comes and tells me I wanted to be scheduled with Monica De La Rosa. I confused look at her and asked her "are you not Monica de la Rosa?" She responds telling me she's Monica Valadez. She informes me I need to speak to her manager (Annie) who tells me with attitude that I need to reschedule because Monica De la Rosa is overbooked. She tells me I was booked with Monica Valadez. Since I had left work early just to be there I asked if Monica Valadez can cut my hair? She said yes she would call her back. When Monica Valadez is cutting my hair Annie interrupts and tells her that her client who was scheduled at 4:00pm just showed up and turns out I was scheduled with Monica de la Rosa after all. I then informed Monica Valadez if she had to go she can and I can have Monica de la Rosa finish my hair since I don't want her to feel rushed having to finish mine because her client is here. Monica Valadez wanted to finish and did not rush treated me super kind and did an amazing job with my hair but the lack of professionalism and customer service from Annie is not acceptable. Instead of admitting her mistake (since after all I didn't make a big deal) she lies to Monica de La Rosa by telling her I couldn't wait for her and decided to go with the other one. Annie if you are reading this please note that you need to work on being humble, professional and organized. Not only did you make a mistake but then tried to push me away to reschedule instead of double checking. Absolutely unfair. The only reason I had to give 1 star was because of Annie and because it's more than likely to get attention and actually acknowledged. Monica Valadez deserves 5 stars. read more

I moved to San Diego and was super nervous leaving my former stylist of 10+ years. I was referred to Jaye and followed her social media page for a while and finally went. At the time I was growing out my natural hair and she brought it to life with shine and a beautiful cut. Then, I was tired of being brunette and wanted to go back to blonde! After 2 sessions, I was completely blonde again and love it so much. She is always fun and I look forward to my time in her chair with my routine poke bowl. Everyone there is friendly and helpful, and there's a gal who sounds like she's from LoNdOn! Amazing place. read more

I went into Rinse Salon with virgin hair. I wanted a base color to cover whites (mostly around the face and a large patch on the right) while matching my natural brown color. The person I booked with over the phone said that would be an easy service that any of their team members could do for me. Fast forward to the day of service, the girl put an all over color on my hair at the rinse bowl, somehow managing to lighten my all over color and roots while giving me a red/ blonde hue. My natural color is dark brown! I am obviously very dissatisfied with the service and experiencing extreme stress over my hair being ruined. I would've been better off leaving it natural. I'd much rather have some whites than this disaster read more

First came to Rinse after a recommendation from a friend. I booked with Jaye and have been coming back for 2 years. I have since moved and have still made the drive to see her. I am Asian and have super fine hair so it was always hard to find someone who I trusted. Jaye is amazing and matches my tone every time. We have gone dark and blonde and she manages to not make my hair look too rusty. Please come see her!! read more

I cannot recommend Monika highly enough for hair services! She possesses a true talent and gift for everything hair styling. It took me quite some time to find a hairstylist I could trust, but I finally found someone who can bring my vision to life. Monika has transformed my hair, giving it so much more dimension and vibrancy, while ensuring the coloring looks natural and effortless. She also did an incredible job prepping my hair for my wedding day, including perfectly matching me for hair extensions. Thanks to Monika, I have so much more confidence in my hair, and I'm excited for all our future sessions. Her expertise, attention to detail, positive and kind demeanor and warm approach made every appointment a great experience! read more

I've seen Romina ONCE and I already adore her! She did such an amazing job on my curly cut--I've literally never seen my curls look as good as they did in her hands! Not only that, but she was so kind, advised me on my routine & really listened to me. The salon is beautiful; so bright& fresh! Note the parking in the area is difficult. I will be back in a few months for my refresh! read more

Made an appointment online for haircut and full balayage. Quoted a price when arrived and when I went to pay the stylist said my hair was thicker and had to charge more. She couldn't cut my hair to bob and I requested to return later and she said no I needed to book someone else for haircut specifically even after paying 500 to balayage short hair! read more

If I could give this salon and the stylist I saw, Romina, more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. She's not only a total gem and absolutely hilarious, but she also gave me the best blowout of my life.

Just moved to SD and needed to find a new go to salon for my haircuts. My girlfriend's hair colorist recommended me to Reno and he's awesome! He takes the time to actually listen to me about what kind of hairstyle I want and what aspects I like about this particular style. He also blends it in nicely so that the shape matches my face. He's great and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Every time I go to Rinse, I leave with exactly what I wanted. I trust their stylists. Parking can be tough, but show up a bit earlier and you'll likely find a spot if you give yourself the time to look. My only suggestion is to improve the seating or neck cushioning at the wash stations. Every time I come, I dread laying down at the stations because the bench is slightly slanted and it's a hard slab; your feet will also just dangle or slide against the floor, so there's a lot of pressure on your neck/head while you're laying down. I always leave with neck pain or a headache. I think if they added foot stools or changed the benches to chairs, that would help a lot. read more

I've been going to Sam at Rinse for about a year now and she is truly the best! She always does an amazing job and listens to what I'm asking for.

RE: Reno Prezio, Included are the pictures I shared to show the cuts I was interested in having and the pics of what I got for it just after leaving the salon today. I think you can tell which is which. My hair was no shorter than 6-9" long in length on my full head to begin with, so more than enough to do any of these. **UPDATE: Reno sincerely apologized for my experience and refunded the cost to me, which I appreciate since my cut was quite off the mark. read more
