After a quick wash, she went straight into blow drying my hair with no heat protectant. Then, she sprayed some product directly on my scalp (?), added some heat protectant, and proceeded to flat iron my hair. This was odd to me, as it is typically standard to finish a trim with a nice blowout. I also specifically asked for layers, and they weren't really touched. The attention to detail was just not there, especially as I left when I noticed the center back of my head was not fully dried. My appointment was about a week ago, and I initially was like "just let it go". But honestly, that was a waste of time and money for such mediocre results

I was looking for a stylist who really knows how to cut long layers, and after hearing such great…read morethings about Kortnie, I decided to trust her with my hair, especially since it had been a long time since my last cut. From the very beginning, we shared a few laughs, and she gave the most incredible head massage. It set such a relaxing, positive tone for the entire experience, and I already felt so cared for before we even started the cut. As soon as she began working on my hair, I could tell I was in amazing hands. The techniques she used showed such skill and intention--I could actually see the vision coming together, which gave me so much confidence and trust in her. That meant a lot to me. When she asked to style my hair at the end, I was genuinely impressed by how much she cared about every detail. I absolutely loved how my hair turned out, and I felt so good walking out of the salon. Beyond her talent, I'm truly grateful for how comfortable and welcomed she made me feel. The conversation flowed so naturally, and the whole atmosphere was warm and inviting. As a first-time client, that meant everything to me. You can also tell she uses high-quality products, which I really appreciate. Kortnie truly went above and beyond with my haircut. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted, then elevated it into something even better than I imagined. She was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented, making sure the length was exactly right to bring everything together perfectly. I felt like she genuinely cared about getting it just right for me. On top of all that, she's kind, warm, and a true professional. I'm honestly so thankful I found her. If you're looking for someone who not only knows hair but truly listens and cares about your experience, Kortnie is absolutely the person to go to. Thank you so much, Kortnie! See you in a few months.

Everything about this place makes my heart smile, sincerely. I moved to San Diego about 3 years…read moreago and have tried many hairstylists. (I must preface this next part that I have family members who are in the industry, but just live too far for me to return to on a regular basis) Many of the stylists I tried were, non responsive, way overpriced and not very educated in their field. I tried to use yelp to find the best and many would not even return my calls. Fast forward to this past week. I thought I would give yelp one last ditch effort and chose to call Capsyl. It was a Wednesday evening- after closing time, so I did not expect a call back until the next day. It wasn't even 5 minutes later that my phone rang and I spoke with Kelly. She told me that Rebecca just received a cancellation and could get me in on Friday morning. To say I was stunned is an understatement. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. Once in Rebecca's chair, I could tell she "got me". She listened to my ideas, looked at the photos I brought in and chatted with me about her thoughts. Then she got straight to work. She was easy to talk to, we had a few laughs and she gave an AMAZING head massage. Once she started cutting my hair, I knew she knew her stuff. I could tell the techniques she was using were creating the look I was going for. She styled my hair and I really loved it. (I very rarely like how stylists do my hair after a cut and color) Her prices are very reasonable and the conversation is great. I'm so grateful to have found this little gem that is nestled up on Flower Hill. :)

Thanks Kortnie

Solara is located on the middle level of the Del Mar Plaza - with an attached parking garage so there's no need to fight for street parking. Bonus - parking is validated at the salon. My husband actually started seeing Tracy for his haircuts before I came in, and he had glowing reviews. Soon after, I made my first appointment and there was no turning back. Tracy took the time to really understand what I was looking for and my overall goals for my hair and hair care routine. One of the most important steps which is often overlooked by stylists is letting the client know if their expectations are realistic, healthy for your hair and the maintenance in keeping up your preferred style - Tracy didn't skip a beat and I knew from the jump what my upkeep needed to be. We have since built a relationship where she just knows what I'm looking for and I trust that my hair is going to look amazing. And it's the perfect blonde! Looking to make a change and find a new stylist / salon - I can't recommend Tracy and the ladies at Solara Salon enough! You'll walk out feeling like a million bucks!

I'd been blonde for quite some time and I was ready to go back to my natural brunette color and get it back to a healthy state. My first visit was with Michael who gave me the best haircut I'd had in years! I wanted to keep my hair long with layers, a U-shaped cut and long curtain bangs. The result made me feel like a little bombshell. LOL! The second time I returned was when I decided to ditch my patchy blonde to go back to brunette, and I saw Donnie. We talked about my hair goals and about the process it would take for me to get there. He was clear and transparent about the journey. He is also super personable and fun to chat with. Ive seen him twice now, and will be returning at the end of this month. I love that this salon offers refreshments, and really good ones! The salon is clean and aesthetically pleasing. There are also some good eats around the area especially if you have an extended appointment and get hungry.
