My first time at this Salon and loved every min of it. Was greeted so kindly by the front desk Kimberly and made me feel so welcomed. She washed my hair and gave me the best head massage, the warm towel was such a nice touch. Then Ari gave me the best haircut, love all my layers! Ari was the sweetest, giving me tips and ideas for the next appointment. Im such a busy mom of 5, and she made me feel like one of the girls having girl talk. It was also such a nice touch when Kimberly offered snacks and drinks. I loved all the attention to detail they gave and made me feel so comfortable. Im very excited for my next appointment. read more

I had my hair done by Lois and she was so sweet! The salon is clean and modern with ample parking out front. When I arrived I was greeted and showed to my seat. There was a welcome sign with my name and a drink menu with chocolate and products samples (which I forgot to grab lol) . I showed Lois my inspo pictures and we discussed what I would like done. I was in between doing a balayage or all over color and ultimately decided on a balayage due to the maintenance required. I really enjoyed the scalp massage, so relaxing! Throughout my appointment, Lois made sure I was doing okay and if I needed anything from drinks, snacks or bathroom breaks. Overall a great experience :) read more

Everything from the space, cleanliness, aesthetic, and service is top tier! They provide your choice of drinks and snacks to make the experience even more relaxing; self-care at its finest. I get my hair done with Ashley, who is amazing -- she pays attention to what I want but also gives her expertise and recommendations to maximize what I'm paying for. Thanks Salon Ardor! You know I'll be back! read more

not going back bad service not professional they cancel my appointment when I arrive to the salon

I have been coming to Salon Ardor and Kim every few months for over 5 years now. I first went to her for balayage and she beautifully incorporated blonde into my naturally dark hair. What I appreciated from that first appointment, and still stands true now, was her attentiveness and honesty. I always leave loving my hair. The salon itself is clean, aesthetic, and certified sustainable. Beverages are offered which is such a thoughtful detail. Everyone I have encountered through the years has been professional and kind. For most, hair is a large part of our identity and it can take a lot to trust someone with it. I can assure you that you can't go wrong with Kim and Salon Ardor! read more

Most salons are booked out months in advance so I was stoked to find a stylist that was available within the next week! Alli did an amazing job and was very detailed with the consult beforehand. I received so many compliments and my hair looks exactly how I wanted! read more

Had an amazing experience with Kiana this past week! After driving year after year back to LA to get my hair done, I figured it was finally time to find a new salon closer to home. I was recommended to Salon Ardor by my coworker, who I really trusted since her hair always looks amazing. From the start, Kiana was super friendly and detail-oriented. As a fellow girl with hair trauma, she really understood how to make me feel at ease during my visit. She checked in on me many times and referred back to my reference photo I showed her multiple times to make sure she got it right. It was absolutely perfect. I had a full balayage done with a haircut. What blew me away was that even after blow drying it the first time, she noticed my bangs were more blonde than the rest of my hair. As someone who obviously isn't a professional, I couldn't quite tell at the moment, but she took the time and effort to go back and tone, wash, and blow dry it again. The results at the end were so worth it. I'm so glad she made the professional decision to make sure her work was perfect because she could've easily dismissed it since I said I didn't notice anything wrong at the moment. I think it's safe to say I've found my new salon. The overall vibes were just super friendly and welcoming. I really appreciated the sign with my name on it when I sat down and the multiple offers of drinks and snacks. The little things really do complete the experience. Definitely recommend Kiana and Salon Ardor for all of your hair needs! read more

Literally no notes! I recently moved to SD and was on the lookout for a new hairstylist. I actually found Salon Ardor on TikTok and was sold! The booking process was super easy (online) and the whole experience was pretty seamless. Walking in, the salon is super clean, calm, and neat. They even had a little welcome sign with my name on it near my chair and offered beverages and snacks (fancy!). My stylist was Ariana and I couldn't be more happy with my cut. I asked for long layers with curtain bangs and she delivered! Also adored my blow out! Note: Depending on the stylist you want to book, their schedule can get pretty packed! Definitely recommend checking out their online bookings a few weeks before you're due for a cut. read more

THE best salon in SD! 10/10 customer service, and all of the stylists are so talented and really care about the work that they do. They always have yummy snacks and beverages. My queen Kimberly always makes sure that I leave feeling pampered and in love with my hair. read more

I have been coming to this salon ever since I moved to San Diego. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The moment you walk in you're greeted and offered a beverage. The girls are incredibly sweet. I can say with confidence that any of the girls at this salon will do a great job with your hair. It's hard to find a good salon where you get your money's worth, but this one is the one for me. However my go to girl is Roby read more

Salon Ardor - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

I've visited twice and I can say this is my favorite salon so far! My previous hairdresser moved so I was stressed about finding a new salon, but I found salon ardor on social media. It's easy to book online for an appointment of anything you need, or you can also call and schedule. The salon is clean and tidy! They always offer snacks and drinks during your service. Never too busy, and everyone seems to love catching up. It's located in a small shopping plaza with lots of parking. I've gotten service from roby and ariana. Roby gave me a great layered haircut and toner, and Ariana also gave me a great toner touch up. The prices are so reasonable - $90 for a full tone. From what I remember its card only, and you're able to tip on your card as well. Will definitely be returning :) read more

Perfect! I highly recommend! I was nervous, but everyone is super nice, and the texting feature is super handy. Ashley was my stylist and super great; my friend goes to another stylist and likes her too. I did show her a photo, and she made it like the photo but actually better because she's experienced so she knew what to do, even though I didn't know what to ask for! For people who don't really do a lot hair-wise like me, don't be intimidated! This salon is for all. The salon is super cute with lots of parking. They offer drinks and free wifi if you need anything. It's in a convenient location because you can also get groceries or tea nearby after too. The bathroom is also 5 stars - super cute and clean, but the Dyson dryer is space-age. I got a haircut (long hair) and shampoo/blow-dry. They take Apple Pay (and Venmo). I'll definitely be back and recommend to anyone who asks! read more

Had a amazing experience at Salon Ardor as I hoped I would! Super sweet staff I loved how they offered condiments and snacksbut want to give a big thank you to the beautiful Kiana for making me feel like that girl again loved my hair so much and got exactly what I wanted‍ read more

I just recently moved back to Southern CA and am so glad I tried this salon. The space was very calm, clean and parking wasn't an issue. Kiana did a beautiful hair cut and toner and most importanlty, was so honest about what services I needed and didn't need. I already booked a second appointment. read more

I went to Salon Ardor for the first time today. I had a really great experience and highly recommend going here! I showed a picture of what I wanted for my haircut (I wanted some fun layers around my face). I received exactly what I was looking for, and the service was really great. Everyone was very sweet! I will definitely be back. :) read more

Kim is an amazing hair stylist! Thank you for taking care of my hair and always exceeding my expectations. Beautiful salon too

Best salon I have ever been to!!! They specialize in coloring Asian hair. I believe that all their stylists are well-trained and have their own specific style in how they do hair for their clients. I decided to get my haircut by Jen and instantly was drawn to her style and knowledge for my hair type. I'm also planning to get my hair lightened and she offered a lot of tips and education about maintenance of going blonde which I really appreciate. I feel like a lot of stylists at other salons don't explain the process as thoroughly. Such a relaxed and chill work environment. All stylists are always hard at work and make sure their clients are happy and satisfied. Really, any stylist is good at Salon Ardor! I recommend you check out their Instagram and do some research on each stylist before coming in so you know what you want. read more

I've been going to Salon Ardor for a few years now and genuinely love it. The salon is always super clean and has such a welcoming, comfortable vibe. Everyone there is friendly and makes you feel right at home. Ari is my stylist and she's amazing. She always listens to what I want and somehow nails it every single time. I trust her completely with my hair and always leave feeling so happy with the results. I highly recommend Salon Ardor, especially if you're looking for a stylist you can stick with long-term! read more

Had a wonderful experience at Salon Ardor! I was in dire need of a haircut and Kim did an amazing job. The salon was cute and clean and the vibe was very relaxing. Highly recommend!! read more

My favorite salon in San Diego. The space is always so clean and all the ladies are very nice. Kim and Rob are the best hairstylist! 10/10

Love love coming here! I'm always so happy with my hair, I've been here three times so far and will continue coming! I love how welcoming everyone is and the complimentary drinks and snacks too! read more

Kiana was amazing! I went in for a haircut and already plan to go back for color. She has great attention to detail and will talk you through the best style options for you. I loved the personalized service and little details at this salon. My favorite part was the scalp massage, the atmosphere is also clean and relaxing. My other favorite part is how well the haircut turned out. I would recommend this spot and Kiana. read more

Salon Ardor and all the ladies here are so sweet! I got a balayage and cut with Ashley and she did an amazing job! I've been to a few stylists over the years and have always shown them the same inspirational color. Ashley was the FIRST stylist to achieve this look while still preserving the integrity of my hair. During our consultation, she took the time to understand my current hair routine and how comfortable I was with maintenance. I have thick, dark hair and I haven't been able to find a place that was able to treat my hair without leaving it orange and brassy. Ashley made sure I was comfortable the entire time and I was even offered snacks and water during my visit. She wanted to make sure I was happy with the cut and color before I left the salon. What I LOVED about working with Ashley is that she took her time and was not in a rush. She is also so sweet to talk to and I enjoyed being in the chair while she did my hair. The seats and bowls here are also super comfortable so I didn't feel any discomfort while sitting in the chair or while waiting in the bowl. This salon is so different from the ones I've gone to before. You can tell that the ladies here are a team and that they genuinely care that you leave the salon happy. At the end of our appointment, Ashley recommended a few products to me and even used some during our appointment. I love that she did not pressure me to purchase anything and that she took the time to explain how and why she used each product. I'll be coming back in the future and recommending this salon to others, especially those with darker hair! read more

I've been on a hair journey trying to find the right stylist that knew how to cut my type of hair and I found her! I had Robynell as my hair stylist and I asked for a wispy curtain bangs, face framing layers, mid-length layered haircut and it came out soooo well! I love how knowledgeable she is and made sure to style my hair that would elevate my facial features. I felt so comfortable during my stay and left feeling confident. I will definitely recommend and come back for my next haircut! read more

I've never been one to stick to the same stylist for very long for multiple reasons - I'm generally fine with booking with any stylist at a salon and don't always request for the same stylist as last time. I also tend to bounce between a few different salons depending on scheduling availability. However, I think I've found my forever home! I discovered Salon Ardor through their website & Instagram, and their online aesthetic and brand promise definitely carries through to their in-person presence. Salon Ardor is such a lovely place, with great stylists whom you can tell all care for each other & for their clients. As an Asian w/ thick straight hair, I've experienced upcharges at other salons before for having so much hair (lol) and have been given haircuts and styles that weren't quite for my hair type or my lifestyle needs. But the girls at Salon Ardor are great - they know how to work with my hair (and are POC themselves), are incredibly kind and knowledgeable (and answer any of my fleeting thoughts and offhand questions), and they don't shy away from either asking for my opinion or offering their expert opinion! I loved that I was in confident, assured hands. I know I was bombarding my stylist Ashley with questions left & right (and running off of 1 hour of sleep so I have no clue what I was even saying tbh), but she was so friendly, caring, and sweet about it. I'm extremely happy with my haircut - it's exactly what I was looking for and had imagined in my mind. I also got SO many compliments on my hair afterwards. Ashley is magical; I will definitely be returning! read more

Kiana is amazing! Ever since I moved out to SD I've been going to her and I'm so picky and she's so extremely patient! The entire staff is super welcoming and extremely nice! read more

Absolutely loved this salon! The staff were so kind and the salon itself was super clean. Ariana was the best and frequently checked up on me all throughout. I am extremely satisfied with the my results consider it being my first time ever dying my hair! Definitely will be recommending this salon to my friends! 10/10 read more

Got a haircut from Ariana and she did an incredible job on my hair! I have not cut my hair since January and she spent an 1.5 hours paying careful attention to it, removing all the split ends. The service comes with complimentary drinks and snacks and the salon played music. Very clean and everyone was so friendly. I definitely want to come back again! read more

I'll recommend this salon to anyone in the San Diego area for a quality and luxurious haircut/color with a such a reasonable price point! read more

I have been going to Salon Ardor for a few years now and this is for sure the best salon I've been to! Their communication is super well organized and speedy, and they always let me know if someone has a new opening. Kiana is amazing at my preferred color + cut and remembers her clients well. They always have drinks & snacks for everyone, It's not unreasonably expensive and well worth the price!! Highly recommend!! read more

I love salon ardor! Their salon is very clean, they have excellent service and are attentive to your needs. I recommend Robynell as a hairstylist. She's taken care of my hair for years and I've loved seeing her grow as a stylist throughout them. You get snacks too read more

New favorite salon!! As I got a balayage and haircut, I watched the other stylists and everyone walked out with PHENOMENAL hair! Every stylist is good. I have long wavy hair and my hair couldn't have came out more perfect with the help of Roby. The music is good, the girls are so sweet, and it's a cleanly spot. They gave me a matcha and snacks and I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Another great haircut from Alli! The hair wash a my favorite part as she always takes extra time to give my scalp a nice massage. read more

"The staff were so friendly and professional! They listened to what I wanted and made me feel amazing. Highly recommend this salon!"

Ashley was amazing! She was so thorough and gave me a wonderful haircut and color! She also gives the best scalp massages. Loved chatting with her since she's so so sweet. She was very patient and understanding with all of my questions and made sure that I was completely happy with my hair. I'd trust her with my hair any day and look forward to having my hair done with her again before my wedding next year! :) read more

I did not like my haircut at all. My hair was left uneven, unblended, awkward layers, face framing pieces that are chunky and awkward. I let the salon know my unhappiness in hopes of a refund so I could have it fixed elsewhere and they refused and suggested I return to have it fixed. I regret returning because the 2nd time I left with super thin and stringy hair. I don't understand how this happened because the other reviews are so great. Overpriced and I'm extremely sad and disappointed read more

I've been going to Cherry at Salon Ardor for the past 2 years and my go-to stylist for balayage highlights. Since I have Asian dark hair she's taken my hair lighter each time on a safe level (so it doesn't get damage) and every time it looks amazing. Cherry really knows what she's doing and always takes the time to understand what I want. Plus, she's super cool to hang out with while she works her magic. The front desk girls are always really nice and they write your name on a pad at your chair station which gives it a really personal touch and feel. I've always been picky for my hair and I actually found their business from instagram since I was new to the area. Sadly I moved out of San Diego and will miss this place! read more
