I love shopping at the National City SalonCentric location! The staff is always cordial, helpful, and professional. Every visit is a pleasant experience because they truly go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. A special thank you to Claudia, Vania, and Brenda. They are always friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming, and they make me look forward to coming back. I truly appreciate their outstanding service! read more

As a cosmetology student, I was excited to visit SalonCentric in National City for the first time, and it was a great experience. I ordered online and chose in-store pickup, which saved me on shipping costs, and I love having that option available. The student discounts are also a nice perk when you're building your kit and purchasing professional products. The store is huge, and while I didn't make it down every aisle, I was impressed by the selection. They carry several of my favorite professional brands, and there were some really good sales happening during my visit. Parking was easy since it's located in a shopping plaza, so there was plenty of space and no stress finding a spot. Overall, I would definitely recommend SalonCentric National City, especially for cosmetology students and beauty professionals looking for quality products, discounts, and convenient pickup options. I'll definitely be back. read more

The ladies at this store always go above and beyond. So sweet and willing to help with any questions. They had a competition once between stores to see who could have the longest transaction receipt....when they used to print them. And they won with our transaction!! Always love to shop at this location even though our salon is in the city (San Diego) I live in Chula Vista so it's super convenient. read more

Store is nice and clean, products are stocked. Reason for 2 stars is customer service. Some of the employees are extremely rude. I forgot why I don't like coming here, but it's the closest one to me and a I needed a few things on my way home. I stopped by Monday, one of the employees was stocking products in one of the aisles. I excused myself politely because I needed to reach over her to grab something and didn't want to be rude. She completely ignored me and didn't even acknowledge my presence. So I turned around and went around to the other side, she didn't move or acknowledge me until she was done. Later when it was time to pay, she was called up to the front to assist the other cashier and she couldn't be more excited. She was upset because I didn't have the app on my phone and she had to punch in the last four of my phone number. Even after she asked for my ID she just couldn't believe it was me. I don't know if she assumed I was without a license or what. Just her whole demeanor was very off putting. I've had similar experiences with other employees and hadn't shopped at this location in over a year. Guess I will continue to drive further or just shop at the competitor across the street. read more

I stopped by today since I was in the area, and I was helped by a very sweet woman named Vania. She had lots of patience for me as I was looking for some products that they no longer carried. She recommended a few different products for me, based on my needs, and explained the process of becoming a member online. I left the store with a sample for an Amika product and a very good first impression. Thanks, Vania, for your professionalism! read more

This Salon Centric location is one of the newer ones. It is located off Sweetwater Road, near Taco Bell, on the north side of Sweetwater Rd. It's in an eclectic but busy strip shopping center which also has a Dunn Edwards paint store, a dentist, a credit union and others. The store is immaculately clean and super well organized. I notice these things because I'm a former retail store manager, and well, you never stop noticing. My wife, Bozena, is licensed, and buys most of her supplies here, and sometimes I tag along, maybe hoping to snag a taco while I wait. On our latest trip, I needed something to help tame my naturally curly hair, which occasionally looks like I've been struck by lightning while sticking a screwdriver in a wall socket. I was very ably assisted by Nelly, who patiently explained which products might work best for me. Come to find out, Nelly is the primary reason my wife shops for her supplies here. She has found Nelly to be very friendly and helpful, and has a tremendous depth of product knowledge, no small feat, given the range of professional products available at this store. Bozena also shops here because of the frequent discounts and sales on various products. Nelly has always offered superior service to Bozena, and had earned her loyalty. This Salon Centric is Bozena's Go-To store for professional products, and she always looks forward to being assisted by Nelly. read more

Incredibly frustrating experience this morning. I showed up at 9am to find the store closed, I then rushed to the next closest store in Hillcrest where I relayed my experience, and the store clerk there said "maybe they were in the restroom" this certainly could have been a possibility, however if this were the case then a courteous thing to do would be to place a sign on the door saying "back in 10 minutes" etc. I ended up being late for my first client. Please note this salon Centric we depend on you to be open at the times listed so we can run our business efficiently. Thank you. read more

See all

I don't normally shop at this location. I've actually been going to a competitor (by my house because of convenience) for the past two years. Any info. Salon Centric had for me on file was outdated but one of the workers (I think she is the mgr., her name is Lilly) took time to look my info. up and updated it in the system. She then walked me right to the products I needed. She was very helpful and professional! read more

There is one specific girl here that is so rude every single time I go. I don't know her name all I know is she has very dark purple hair. The first time I had an encounter with her when I walked in on my day off she stopped me to remind me that it's a salon professional store only, as if that's not plastered all over the outside of the store. Then when she went to check me out she asked for my name as a confirmation that I was using my actual phone number. Not sure if that's something they're supposed to do but that was the first and last time I've ever had that happen. Just because I go in there with my hair in a bun and no make up on doesn't mean I'm not a salon professional. So rude to profile someone like that. Every time I go in I see her and she always has the same attitude. read more

Their posted hours on the site and also listed on the storefront say 8a - 6pm. I hauled ass from work to get there before close and arrives at 5:42pm. They are closed. I knew what I needed so it would have taken me but two mins to buy. If you post hours it would be nice if you are actually open during those hours. read more

I would like to say that Vanessa is amazing! I have been in and out of Salon Centric because I am currently on the verge of opening my studio salon! It has been very stressful getting everything prepared and thank goodness for amazing people like Vanessa! Not only was she knowledgeable about all the products but she went above and beyond to help me reach a retailer whom I needed to be in contact with. Without her, I would probably still be choosing which products to use. I also came in recently to make a huge return, and the girls were so kind and patient about it! I'm never going anywhere, super clean, helpful, and chill environment. read more
