I have been going to Kathy since I moved to San Diego over 10 years ago. First off, she is simply a nice person - always friendly and pleasant. Second, her skills are second to none - top notch. I have curly, wiry hair. I wear it short and whether the style I choose -- and I change styles practically every haircut -- is meant to be worn straight or curly she knows how to cut my hair. I simply cannot say enough good things and would encourage any one to give her a try. read more

I got a longer haircut with Danielle and she did exactly what I requested! It is a cute little homey salon and they were very friendly to me even as a teenager. The online booking is very easy. read more

My hair was down to my waist (I was cutting it myself throughout COVID) and a few months ago Kathy cut about 6 inches off and shaped it properly. I'm getting older, and my hair is coming out. I finally couldn't take it anymore and let Kathy cut it all off. I showed her pictures of my hair short from over a decade ago. Then pictures of short styles that I thought would work with my hair. Then I let her go to town. I LOVE it. You can trust Kathy to do your hair right. See before and after pics. read more

I reached out to Jamie 5 years ago at random when I needed someone to do my Brazilian Blowout when my go-to girl was pregnant and unable. We hit it off right away and became pretty close friends rather quickly after that. Jamie makes a great effort to really hear you out/get a good understanding of your vision and needs. She's willing to work with you in whatever direction you may be heading. I personally like minimal product/nothing extreme and i always leave from our appointments still feeling a whole change/refreshed from the inside out. Sometimes im wanting to be extra chatty while other times i literally ask her for a good healing, deep conditioning treatment, telling her Ive been stressed and just need some calming zen time and she works with me. She has even started offering breathwork and/or reiki at our appointments and it's a nice touch if you're interested. I actually chose to do two breathwork sessions with her at my own home and it was an incredible experience overall. I recommend everyone schedule with Jamie and give her a chance because as I said at the beginning, she's become a close friend to me on my ever changing journey through highs and lows and at least I can always say my hair will be taken care of. 10/10! read more

Valerie does it again! Best haircut in San Diego and BEST COLOR in San Diego!! It's my fifth time coming back and I absolutely love her work! It's very wash and wear, this last time we did a "money piece" in the front and it looks great! I live in LA and refuse to see anyone else- she's worth every penny and every trip. read more

Love! Adorable salon setup, friendly service, professional setting. Wash, cut, and style included in my service at a reasonable price. They also have salon quality shampoo and conditioner products available for sale in refillable bottles! Bring your reusable shampoo dispenser and fill em up on the spot for a great price.

Daniell saved the day. My scalp was a mess.. itchy and flaky. She worked her magic and now I feel like a new person. She was so kind to squeeze me last minute. And the products she used smelled amazing! read more

I love getting my haircuts here from Valerie! The salon itself is very bright with natural sunlight flooding in, very airy and relaxing (not stuffy/nor super fancy in a nervous way). Most importantly, Val's haircuts are always absolutely fabulous. I have straight, mid-length/long hair (aka boring lol). Val is very talented at understanding what you want, working with your hair texture/face shape/and head shape. She's able to seamlessly blend what you asked for and make it even better - after a Val haircut, all of a sudden my hair has style!! I actually receive daily compliments on my hair, haha. I'm also extra happy that the haircut always grows out nicely as I have to be mindful about how often I am able to go (personal budget-wise). But considering how good I feel after her haircuts, including the weeks even after as it grows, it's worth every penny as part of my routine. My best friend even became a regular! She has a pixie cut and Val nails it every time. Thank you Val for your talent. It positively affects my everyday:) read more

I'm so excited I found my new hairdresser! Danielle did an awesome job with my (previously) tired long hair and gave it vitality. She was also really gentle on my back, while I've had problems with prior hair dressers at other salons hurting my neck and back while doing my hair. Thanks goodness, no pain during highlights, wash, haircut and style here! The salon's also really cute and conveniently located for Point Loma/Ocean Beach. read more

Valerie is fantastic. I received the best cut and color from her. She is kind, thoughtful, and really takes the time to listen to her clients. She makes sure you walk away with a cut that is not only suitable to your face shape but also to your lifestyle. Can't recommend her enough. read more

All girls with the curls, GO here!!!!! Everyone else too! This is a long overdue and much deserved perfect 5 star review for Kathy! She slotted me in for my wedding last July, did a Mach style for me & then NAILED IT on my wedding day!! She styled my two bridesmaids, mom and me in ninja status and everyone was amazed at how great their hair looked! I'm pretty sure Kathy's a genius! Then just recently, I went to her for a haircut. Mind you, I've had the same stylist cutting my hair for 16 years! I literally have flown to Oklahoma the last 11 just to get hair cuts. Doesn't hurt that I fly free #swalife!! Well now, Kathy is my go to! She cut my long curly hair just how I like it, giving me long layers and a perfect length to scrunch away!! Thank you for being amazing! Thank you THANK YOU!! read more

Salon Mint - Compliments of Kathy Cox, y'all!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

After a few bad trips to mall salons, I was ready for a more polished look but didn't want to break the bank. (What is it with all the extra charges for long hair?! A little extra shampoo and blow drying shouldn't cost more than a month's property taxes, right???!) So I asked around and a colleague with fabulous hair recommended Stacy at Salon Mint and I decided to trust her with my long locks. Stacy is definitely the real deal! She's kept my hair in great shape the past two years and we've done all kinds of looks: highlighs, lowlights, long, somewhat shorter and she even did a retro 40s glam updo for my wedding which looked super authentic and held up to the rigors of a windy day and dancing till midnight! The salon itself is bright, cheery and clean. The only parking option is street parking which can be a bit of a bother, but it's usually easy to find a spot if you don't mind a few extra steps. Stacy's prices are also reasonable and affordable even with my non-profit job. No champagne or wine upon arrival, but the casual beachy atmosphere, hipster music and clean atmosphere make for a fun girl's salon day. read more

YES! I have finally found my go-to salon! After years of going to the same hairdresser closer to my house, and being less than satisfied every time, I found Kathy Cox. She was recommended to me by a co-worker and I booked an appointment with her right away.Getting a haircut has always been a nerve-wracking experience for me and I have never loved a cut as much as I love this one. Kathy was an absolute joy to get a haircut with as her fun and bubbly personality makes you instantly comfortable and excited for your new hair! Salon Mint and Kathy are true gems! 10 stars if Yelp would let me !! read more

My former hairstylist moved away recently, so I decided to try Salon Mint based on their great reviews. Kathy Cox was lovely to visit with, and she gave me a GREAT cut. Her 17 yrs of experience shows.Very cute little salon, lots of natural lighting, only issue was parking.. many spaces on the side street were blocked off so I parked in the bank parking lot. I appreciated that Kathy didn't put any product in my hair- I always hate that. I will definitely return. read more

Well, another great color by Kathy Cox... I love going to her salon so cozy and welcoming! If you need great color, a great cut and a sweet person to do your hair, go to Kathy Cox. The absolute BEST! read more

I have trusted my hair exclusively to Stacy for the several years even following her from other salons. She does a great job on my hair and does exactly what I want. She even did my wedding hair and I felt pampered and that I looked my best. Salon mint is laid-back, inviting, hip and refreshing. Stacy has a great personality that makes the haircut experience fun, as it should be! read more

Today I got the Floricide Acid Peel facial by Cory, the salon owner. The salon is adorable and inviting.. The treatment room is great, complete with a super comfy chaise/chair with heat, blankets, bolster pillow for under the knees, etc. Before the treatment, Cory asked me relevant questions about my skin and products I currently use. She then suggested the appropriate facial and a few minutes later iI was in facial bliss-land. Cory explained what she was doing as she worked. I got a great, relaxing facial and peel and my skin is glowing. I even went to work right after without make up on and my skin looked great! Also, I got a great neck and shoulder massage! I can't WAIT to go back!!! = ) read more

Just had a fantastic facial with Cory. She has a nurturing firm touch that many aestheticians lack. I've had plenty of facials that feel like the person is just applying product and then wiping it off, this was not the case with Cory! She also took extra time to make sure all the product was wiped off my face before sending me out to the world. I've had other aestheticians hastily wipe off my face and send me out with gunk on the side of my nose or in my hair. I also appreciated that there was no pushy sales tactics at the end. I left feeling wonderful and can't wait to see her again! read more

Kendra is the best colorist I have ever had. She knows blonde highlights better than anyone I have ever been to before. This is saying a lot coming from Palm Beach,FL where everyone wants to be the perfect shade of blond! She is professional and has years of experience. If you want excellence, see Kendra, she's The Best! read more

I have been a loyal client of Cory since college! Somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 years. I go to no one else. She is hands down the best. Facials, waxing, etc. Soothing, relaxing and my skin feels so refreshed after. I never ever feel rushed. She is thorough, professional, and knows exactly what she is doing. I love Pevonia products as well! I could go on and on about how wonderful this place is...but it would be better to check it out yourself! Get the mint facial from Cory! You won't want to leave! read more

Kendra is the BEST! She is so precise, thorough, and kind. I am just living in SD for the summer and really needed to find someone I could trust to do my hair. She took me from long to short and from blonde to blonder and made it an easy enjoyable experience. This is a great salon, and Kendra really knows what she's talking about! If you're not happy, she's not happy. She goes out of her way to make sure you feel great. Best stylist I've ever been to. read more

Stacy styled, colored and cut my hair for over 3 years while I lived in San Diego. When I was planing my wedding from abroad I knew I wanted her to do my hair. She was AMAZING and did such a great job on myself, mother, sister, grandmother, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and some friends all the day of the wedding in less than 15-30 minutes for each person. I highly recommend Stacy if you are looking for a new Stylist or for your wedding day. read more

Salon Mint is the paradise that made me LOVE facials!!! Now I'm cursed, I know how wonderful Cory's hands are and I won't dare go anywhere else. Topping off the excellent service, Salon Mint has a beautiful atmosphere and incredible location, plus I love the look of its stylists' booths. Thanks for all that you do to make me feel beautiful Salon Mint! read more

Cory is fantastic! I love the fresh, cool and hip feel to the salon itself too. The service is very personal and is a great place to go get a facial, haircut, anything, and come out feeling and looking fabulous. read more

Had my hair cut and colored yesterday by Stacy. Couldn't be happier. Stacy knows what is good for my specific challenging hair, and always gives me exactly what I asked for. Salon Mint is clean and festive for the holidays, very easy to find, a hidden gem in Point Loma. read more

I've been following Tiffany Develin around for five years because she is t-h-e best in the waxing business! This place is the cutest place she's worked! See you in five weeks! read more

I love Salon Mint. It has a lovely atmosphere and Cory gives the best facials I've ever had. Since I've moved away from San Diego, I have tried to find other estheticians in my area that I like as much and have not had luck because the bar has been set so high! Cory is very good at listening to customer's needs and has the most gentle, relaxing touch. I cannot recommend Salon Mint and Cory's services in particular, enough. read more

Upon my first visit at Salon Mint, I couldn't help but to notice the modern and chic decor. It certainly adds to the warm ambiance of the salon. Cory is an absolute delight. She has been caring for my skin for years. There is a special energy that she brings to her work--healing, soothing, and a great talent for creating that relaxing, pampered experience. She also makes me feel beautiful every time i walk in--and i'm glowing on my way out. read more

Had my hair cut and colored by Mary today, and am thrilled with the results, as always. I've been going to Mary for nearly 15 years now, and she has never once given me anything but amazing service. She's one of the most talented colorists I've ever been to, and she's an awesome person too!. read more

My experience at Salon Mint was nothing short of awesome! My wax by Cory was the fastest and most comfortable that I've ever had. My facial plus shoulder massage was Heaven! I would not be as ready for my wedding as I am had Cory not made me feel so great! read more

Cory! Cory! Cory! She does the most relaxing facials! She massages my hands, feet, neck and back- I feel so good walking out of there. She just knows what she's doing and has the right touch. I have sensitive skin and Cory's done a few gentle chemical peels on me, I've never had any wierd skin reaction or breakout. It's always been a great soothing experience. I'm a hairstylist and I've recommended my own clients to go see Cory for facials. read more

I went in to see Jen for my hyperpigmentation and I got a vitamin c facial with pumpkin peel. I want to say it was my first treatment and I already noticed a difference. I plan on seeing her every 3 weeks. Awesome salon, good people skills, overall experience was perfect! read more

Stacy is amazing! I have really fine hair and had trouble finding someone who knew how to style it right. I was extremely happy when stumbled upon Stacy about 5 years ago after going salon to salon. Not only does she make my hair look amazing, she is great to talk to and always makes me feel comfortable. I've been moving around for grad school for the last couple of years, and I always try to schedule my home visits to coincide with when I need my hair done, so that I can go to Stacy. She is always great at fitting me last minute. read more

"Stacy is amazing. I was new to SD and went somewhere else first was very unhappy. Found Stacy and she got me blonde and cut my hair the best it's ever been!" read more

This review is a testament to Stacy, and that she is the kind of person with whom you want to do business. I found Stacy on Yelp through reviews, as the salon was located walking distance from a wedding I was attending (and I was visiting from out of town). Regretfully Stacy had to cancel our appointment due to a conflict, but went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help me- finding me another appointment at another salon and setting me up with car service to get there! I was so impressed. The next time I am in San Diego I would certainly go see Stacy, and just want the yelp world out there to know there should be more people out there like her. Thank you Stacy! read more

Stacy Tinsley of Salon Mint is the bomb.com! My hair is finally healthy and growing long with the way Stacy does her treatment... she does not use heat but uses more process... the result is that my hair now looks beautifully blonde and looks like I have extensions put in!! Yay!! Thanks Stacy! Oh and she's moved to a great new location on Midway just south of Sports Arena. Super easy to get to and tons of parking!! 3651 Midway Dr. Suite 23. SD 92110.

WOW...thats ll I got is W!O!W! Stacy took great care of me. I have had PLENTY of cuts in my day, but I like the look Stacy created the best. She is funy too! I don't know how she cuts hair while the client is laughing, but she does! A+ Will be back soon! read more

I have been meaning to do this for the longest time! Finally writing about Salon Mint and my favorite hair stylist EVER, Stacy Tinsley. I first started going to Salon Mint a couple of years ago because my hair was fried and way too blonde after going to another salon for highlights (for too long, obviously). Stacy and I talked about my goal for my hair style and color and then she did exactly what I wanted. Something I never, ever expected was healthy-looking, shiny hair as a BONUS, but somehow Stacy has given it to me. I am SO happy with the condition and look of my hair now. The highlights are just right. Happy, happy, happy! I highly recommend you give Stacy a try, she is an awesome stylist and you will be VERY pleased with your hair. read more
