This review is for a Groupon deal I had with Deniz. I'm going to do my best not to rant, but I was really unhappy :( 1. He showed up 15 minutes late to the appointment with no apology. His receptionist told me he would be back from his LUNCH break soon. 2. Didn't talk to me or even acknowledge my presence the whole appointment. I know it makes it hard to chat when there's a language barrier, but he wouldn't even look at me while styling my hair. He was looking around the room and at other clients the entire time! 3. Used practices that are very bad for hair. Roughly yanked on hair tangles with a brush, removed the water from my hair by twisting it tightly like a rope, etc. Super bad for hair! 4. Used no products at all. If he's trying to save money, that's fine. But not even a heat protectant before using the blow dryer on the highest setting? My hair is already damaged enough, thanks.. 5. The worst part? My haircut was done in 5 minutes and it was BAD. I've never had such a choppy cut in my life. Picture attached. Overall, NOT a good experience. Hopefully he treats his non-Groupon clients much better! read more

I came in for a cut, deep conditioning and style. I had made an appointment for 10a and when I walked in, there was no one at the front desk. I looked towards the back and noticed a couple of people looking at me awkwardly with no acknowledgment. I decided to take a seat, and a few mins later one of the peeps that looked at me awkwardly came up to assist me. I said that I had an appointment with Deniz and it turned out that it was him. OOPS! He was assisting another client and I wasn't brought back until about 1015a. Deniz is nice and very personable. I really enjoyed my scalp and neck massage as he shampooed and conditioned my hair. That was the highlight of my visit. I had a deep conditioning which took a while, but did make my hair smooth and silky. My cut was ok. I only asked for a trim, a re-do of my layers and side swept bangs. After the cut, he didn't measure the layers of each side to see if they were even. Typically the stylists I go to check if all my layers are even on all sides. Oh well. As he was styling my hair, he mentioned that the next time I come in I should get low lights and that change is good. I haven't dyed or highlighted my hair for over 7 years and it took a couple years just to grow my hair out so that my hair is all natural. I'm not really interested in the high maintenance again and "change". He styled my hair and I left 2 hours later. I didn't realize that I would be at the salon for that long. Good location [in the business park of Sorrento Valley], but just had mixed feelings about this place. read more

I went here for the first time today because I purchased a Groupon for services. The place is in a little business mall, almost hard to see because the signs are rather small. Anyways, I came in to a warm, welcoming salon. Everyone is really nice and happy there! I got my hair done by Deniz. He was amazing!! He definitely knows what he's doing! My hair looked horrendous when I came in, afterwards my hair was transformed into a silky smooth masterpiece. I also got a blonde Ombré done which looks awesome! This place is so worth it! read more

Went to Deniz for a cut and color. The cut was not impressive and I told him I wanted a dark chocolate brown color and NO red, just a flat brown. After he was done I immediately said how it looked red. Deniz said it "was the lighting in the store and it'll look brown outside. Nope. Got home and boyfriend says, "You decided to go red?!"

I have been going to salon sol for a couple years now. I drive 3 hours to get there and i also get to visit my daughter. I always try to accommadate my stylist if it wants me to come in earlier or later. My friends all loved my hair. August 11 2017 i had an appointment he then asked if i could come in an hour earlier which i did. I asked for a chestnut brown with carmel highlights. The first picture i showed him he said no it was to red. He said he could do the second picture. I ended up with bright red hair with maroon color ontop. were i had grey hair. I wanted to cry. My daughter and my friend both said i needed to get it redone or get my money back. I texted the stylist and left messages at the salon. He sent me a text to stop calling him ! I then had to cancel my 2 week vacation because i was not going to go with RED hair! I DIDNT GET MY HAIR REDONE OR MY MONEY BACK! Im very dissapointed in the stylist and the manager who i asked to return my call. This is not good for business. I stopped going to my ex-hair stylist in bakersfield ca because of his addiction to drugs but at least he would have did it right even if he was inebriated. I really liked my hair stylist so im really sad. read more

Avoid Tommy if you don't want a layered cut. I was so specific and my hair still got ruined. When I say "no layers", I don't mean "more layers please"! He cut 6 inches off the front of my hair!! I have straight hair, so it shouldn't be challenging. He just didn't listen to what I wanted. On the other hand, I have to give them props for their good hair-care advice and convenient location. And the one time when I had a different stylist it was fine. read more

I used to come here years ago for Teri, but I learned recently that she has since left. I returned to Salon Sol because I was so completely tired of the poor service at the Paul Mitchell School in downtown SD - even if it was so much cheaper. So I just had my hair trimmed by a genuine and sweet lady from Iran (unusual name and I didn't get a card from her :o( ). She has good hands for the scalp/neck massage, but I think she could have spent a little more time in that department, especially because it was during their slowest days (Monday). Either way, the haircut was thorough and lovely in the end. She knew not to yank through my tangles, but to start from the bottom and work her way up (huge bonus points). She also took her time with blow drying with the rounded brush to give my hair a nice, smooth straight appearance with a rounded end, yet she still finished in a reasonable amount of time. Plus she didn't pile on product after product. Just a little leave-in conditioner/gloss that smelled fantastic. $40 well spent! read more

I bought a Groupon for a Deep Conditioning, hair cut, and style with Deniz. At first I was a little skeptical because it was a bit difficult to find in the evening, and it took a little bit to get my appointment started, but once Deniz started working with me, I was super impressed. Not only was the scalp massage that was part of the deep conditioning process AMAZING, Deniz was super talented. He was extremely knowledgeable and certain about what kind of cut would be good for my hair type, just by asking a few questions and observing my hair. Also, his blowout was INCREDIBLE. I've never seen anything like it... He used zero product, two round brushes, and a hair drier, and gave me a Victoria Secret blowout in about 10 minutes, which is super impressive, considering how thick and unruly my hair can be. I would definitely recommend! read more

I went to Tommy to get my hair colored and I love it! He did an amazing job and gave me just what I wanted. When I called, he scheduled me for the very next day, which was also new years eve. The whole process took him 4-5 hours and he was amazing the whole time. He had plans for the night but made me comfortable the whole time, and didn't rush me when it was getting late. I went in to color my hair purple and pink, and he is very experienced with this. He had to bleach my hair and he did a great job. My hair still feels healthy and looks great. And the colors he gave me were so vibrant, they were just beautiful. He also gave me a haircut that I love too. Overall, he made me look and feel amazing. I absolutely love it and I plan on going back to him for every cut and color I will get while I live in this area. Thanks Tommy! read more

I saw Josie at Salon Sol about 6 weeks ago, and I am STILL getting compliments on the amazing highlights and cut she gave me!!! I had been searching for a new stylist for a while, and when I found out that a couple of my friends with beautiful hair had been going to Josie for years, I knew I had to join her fan club! As soon as I sat down in her chair, Josie suggested that we give my virgin hair some depth with blonde highlights. I had come in for a cut only, but boy am I glad that I went through with her suggestion! She not only gave me an amazing cut, but perfectly placed highlights. I am still so thrilled with her work, and can't wait to go see her again! The best part of the whole experience is that she didn't push ANYTHING on me. No products, no treatments, etc. She gave me some great tips about products to use, and what not, but not once did I feel pressured to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. Overall, going to Josie was a fantastic experience & I recommend her to all of my friends! I definitely found my new hairstylist!!!...o and she serves beer & wine during your treatment, whats not to love!? read more

I had a wonderful experience. Deniz Oz is a master cutter IMHO and a gentleman. He gave me a beautiful haircut along with a deep conditioning under the hairdryer and took his time blow drying and styling my hair. The employee at the front desk was very hospitable and friendly. Thank you for introducing me, Groupon, to this salon. Unlike other salons who offer vouchers and don't do what the voucher offers or do it halfheartedly, Deniz went the full route and then some in his service. As soon as he began cutting, it was obvious he was a pro. I only get my hair cut twice a year mainly because I hate dealing with bad haircuts. I've become very critical over the years as far as "stylists" who claim to be artists but really don't have talent. Deniz, to me, appears to have true talent with hair. read more

OK, I didn't read any of the reviews before going here because I was in need of a haircut somewhere around my new work and just wanted convenience. I walked in, they were moderately busy, was a Friday around noon, and Tom took me right away and started right in after giving some good tips on what would work well with my face/head shape, etc. Seriously, best hair cut I've ever had in my life, not to mention that in a totally neutral way, Tom gave the best friggin head/neck massage. I just moved here, and it's been Murphy's law since I arrived, so having this one event go completely right has made my whole week. Thanks Tom for the awesome cut (and offer to trim it for free in between now and my next cut) and I will definitely be back. read more

I saw Deniz a few days ago for a color, and within moments of sitting down I realized that he hardly spoke English at all. As soon as I realized this I had a premonition that I would be crying at the cash register in two hours. Thank God I had a photo of what I was looking for... as the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words! He gave me an AWESOME head massage and with a combo of highlights and toner achieved the color I was going for. Still, the lack of English is an issue for me since I don't speak of lick of Turkish.

Normally I got my haircut at my cousin's place in Mira Mesa, but when I started working at Starbucks, I became friends with the girls at this salon and decided to try out an actual salon for once. I'm glad I did. The quality of the haircut is so much better than barber shops and the like, plus, you have some really cool people cutting your hair. Stacey, Ingrid, Josie, Leann, Teri, etc etc. are all really good people. I alternate between Ingrid and Stacey. I know nothing of extensions or hair coloring or layering or anything like that for girls, so I can't comment on their quality of work in those aspects. All I can say is that they take good care of me and they're genuinely kind people so you should give it a shot. Random Dating Tip: Spend a little extra on a good gel that won't make your hair hard as a rock. That way your hair can still be styled and not crunchy (some girls hate crunchy). I use American Crew Texture Cream. Smells good and it doesn't make my hair hard (although the hold is a bit weaker than others). read more

Since I had box dye in my hair, he informed me it would be an extra $70 for a color correction. After getting price estimates from other salons, this seemed like a decent price for my budget. I did my research and looked over his website, Yelp reviews, etc. and the photos impressed me and led me to believe he would produce the balayage I wanted. I didn't mind the price for everything I was getting. I sent David photos of how I wanted my hair a few months before I scheduled the appointment. I have been saving up money and planning this treatment for five months which is perhaps why I'm so upset about the original results from my first appointment. When I walked in he briefly welcomed me and then immediately asked me what I wanted done. Since I've been planning this treatment for so long I had a Pinterest album of similar balayages (not to mention he already had the photo in our thread). He took one glance and got started which made me nervous but I trusted him as a professional. Throughout the treatment there was no communication regarding color, length cut, or anything like that. We sat in silence for 80% of my 3 hr. appointment. We made small talk and I asked him about after care, what he was putting in my hair, etc. He curled my hair and when I turned around and saw my hair for the first time I noticed it was WAY lighter than I expected, but I did like it. I left the salon happy. But I never curl my hair so when I saw it natural (wavy/straight), I could see how messy and amateur it looked. There were chunks reaching up to my roots and he basically dyed the bottom half of my hair a rainbow of blonde colors. NOT a balayage. I left a short review on the website and he text me shortly after with a long reply. I sent him photos of how my hair looked and the photo I originally sent him of what I wanted. He offered to fix it for free, so I went back in. Before my appointment he text me to confirm and said "Would be great if you could take down your review," but I'm glad I waited until after the second appointment to review him again. This time the communication was better, however now that a day has passed I see that my hair is still not where I want it to be since he bleached the whole bottom half and effectively made it difficult to achieve a balayage with just toner. I do understand that I did tell David I liked my hair in the salon because at that point I was fed up and wouldn't bother to have him fix it since he already comped this appointment and spent his time fixing it. Overall it looks much better now and is healthy after I cut 4 inches off (which I did to get rid of the dead bleached hair), but I am still going to get it fixed by another hair dresser. Not only that but I asked him for long layers in my hair cut but my hair is all one length. At the end of the day, if you go to David, just make sure you are clear about what you want because otherwise from what I can tell in other reviews he is a good hairdresser.

The right stylist is someone who's not only highly skilled, but also consistent, detail-oriented, and able to perform under pressure. That's exactly who Nicole Alex is. Nicole has been my go-to for haircuts and color for nearly 10 years, and I can honestly say she continues to impress me with her talent and professionalism. I'll admit I'm not the easiest client--my hair is extremely coarse, thick, and often damaged, and I'm not always the most punctual. Despite these challenges, Nicole always treats every appointment with care, patience, and precision. Whether I'm coming in after weeks of being out of town or squeezing in a last-minute session, she never cuts corners . Her work is always meticulous, and the results speak for themselves. I've worked with many stylists over the years, but none have come close to the level of quality and consistency Nicole provides. If you're new to San Diego, visiting, or a local who still hasn't found that one stylist who truly checks all the boxes--look no further. Nicole Alex is the real deal. Once you sit in her chair, you'll understand why I, and so many others, continue to choose her time and time again. She's simply exceptional.

I…read moremade a free consultation appointment with Kayla a week prior to the actual appointment regarding hair coloring. During the consultation, she told me that my blonde highlights got darker because of "mineral buildups" in my hair from hard water, and she recommended to do a "CPR treatment" following by applying a toner to bring back the blond color (which highlights got darker and more yellow over time). She said that this treatment plan would make my highlights lighter and blonder again. I made the actual appointment, when the proposed treatment was done. After 30 minutes of sitting under the heat with the treatment applied, she washed out the "CPR treatment" 3 times!!!, scrubbing my scalp and later she told me (when I had the skin reaction) that she used a PH 9 shampoo, which is apparently (I'm reading now about it) harsh, and is disruptive to the hair and scalp. Then, she applied the toner, then a leave-in conditioner, that needed to be washed out due to some skin reaction. When she was working on washing it out, she scrubbed my scalp so viguorusly, that I screamed from pain to stop her doing it so harshly. Later in the afternoon, I started to feel an inflammatory type of severe pain on the back of my scalp. It got worse since yesterday and I don't know what really happened to my scalp, skin, tissue, or nerve, but whatever injury happened, it is extremely painful. Regarding the result of the treatment, nothing that promised was achieved, my hair feels like it got a little darker and making my highlights blonder didn't happen. Kayla told me after drying my hair that she was surprised that her treatment plan didn't work on my hair. What is much worse than not achieving the promised result is the severe pain on the back of my scalp.
