Holly did an awesome job on my wife's hair! My wife is happy and we will def be back!

I was very disappointed with my visit. What's better than getting your haircut and styled for a fun evening out. Well, I left without feeling beautiful and glamorous. The cut was great, but I asked the stylist for beach waves and I ended up with a child's curly do. I would have been prepared to show pictures, but I figured a stylist with experience knows what beach waves are. After not having a haircut in over a year, this was a big disappointment. read more

This review is for Holly King at Shearology. I came here for the first time and she cut my hair with scissors as I requested for a men's haircut. She did such a great job, everyone commented about how good it looked after. She incorporated texturizing into the haircut and used different lengths to make it look fuller and better. She really did an excellent job and I had to write this review to say thanks. Will definitely be back! read more

Joy is quite the joy! She took my kiddo in as a walk in for a haircut. I will say I'm impressed! So much personality had a great conversation and she was amazing with my sweet Kk. She interacted with him like he was part of the grown up gang (grandma and I were both chatting it up with Joy) and she was so great answering back with him. So why does this matter? So many adults are so self indulged and ignore kids. So this factor is high on our list when it comes with customer service. We just might have found the hair dresser for my long curly haired boy, who refuses to cut his locks short but still wants to ensure it stays healthy. She's great! Highly recommend! read more

Holly is the bomb ! I rarely ever get haircuts maybe like once a year and in between that I'm cutting my own hair which comes out so bad. She fixes me up and makes me look super cool super attention to detail l! Thanks read more

Came here for. Wash and blow dry and the owner didn't blow dry my hair the correct way i came home and it got frizzy

I am very picky with who touches my hair. I was once bald (due to chemo) and I don't want anyone messing up my long hair since it took so long to grow out. I have really dark hair. Debbie did an awesome job of covering my grays and I always get so many compliments on how shiny my hair is. She colored my hair before my bachelorette party and also before my wedding in October 2021. People I hadn't seen due to the pandemic thought I had extensions at my wedding due to how glossy and beautiful it was. Thanks Debbie! read more

Went in and expected a mediocre cut for the price. I was pleasantly surprised with an amazing cut for a great price.

Nicole is a new stylist at this location but has been styling my hair for over 10 years! She is professional & can work with clients like me who have challenging hair care needs as I suffer from alopecia. Although my hair loss has increased over the years she always finds a way to make me look & feel my best! read more

I normally write my reviews strictly on Google, but I want the praise to reach a wider audience because I have finally found a style that I'm happy to commit to and I need to ensure that I can count on coming to this salon for Holly to take the scissors to me. A little bit of background on my hair's previous state: keratin straightened 3C with instances of 4A mixed ethnicity hair that started thinning in heaps this past winter resultant of bereavement stress. Fast forward eight odd months later, I became tired of trying to save the sinking ship that was my hair and resolved to crop off the back, so I came across Shearology on a web search. I called on Wednesday 7/21 and scored an appointment for two days later. Friday came, and I was introduced to my stylist for the affair: Holly. All my life I've only ever trusted my mom and myself to make changes to my hair, so it was very unnerving to let a stranger do something as massive and irreversible as a cut. I'd often heard (and then had the exact experience during my first and last time at a salon back when I was a teenager) that stylists will sometimes give you the style they envision, not what you want. That was how my mom explained away my bland hackjob of a hair cut that her stylist from the early eighties had given me circa 2008. I had went into that previous experience with dreams of a Rihanna good-girl-gone-bad bob, but left looking like a six-year-old all polished up for church, very antithetical to punk. So with that memory from thirteen years prior in the back of my mind, the present-day nerves were warranted. Coming back to the present here and now, those past hair traumas began to dissolve during the consultation. Both Holly and the salon's owner (I think) were present as I showed them a blend of photos to explain what I wanted, and they understood exactly that it was a nape-length stacked bob with piecey-ness that I was after. I felt a lot more certain that I'd actually leave with what I wanted, so the dry cutting officially began. As Holly snipes and shaped, she informed me on how to achieve the textured/piecey look I was after (this salon sells a Hair Taffy product that has made me a bit less fearful of wax/pomade products.) About twenty minutes later, the scissors were down and my hair looked alive again. I had even went out on a limb and trusted her to clean up my beloved 2000s Myspace Emo side bangs which even I myself am forbidden to cut; her strategic snips managed to make them beautifully taller!! I left the shop feeling really good about my new style, but after doing my own wash, blowout and straighten at home, I was officially a permanent resident on cloud nine. Even without anything but my standard heat protectant serum in it, every layer was defined and perfectly graduated, my hair was as thick as it was tall, and best of all it had its movement and bounce back! Holly is new to Shearology, but she absolutely nailed my hair vision to the point where I woke up this morning in legit love with my bedhead (the photos are literally fresh off the pillow.) I was able to wake up, just run a comb through it to fluff, and go! It's amazing how my hair got progressively more perfect overnight. My experience at Shearology has managed to successfully overwrite that previous hair butchering of my youth that gave me a mistrust of stylists. They pulled my vision out of my head and put it ON my head flawlessly, and I couldn't be more grateful to be feeling organically beautiful again thanks to Holly. read more

What a gem of a salon this is! I've been told that my hair is difficult to cut, and yet Debbie finds it easy! She is the owner and is wonderful to work with for those of us who are so very particular about how we want our hair done. I appreciate her graciousness and highly advanced skill in hair cutting, as well as her sense of beauty and style. Thank you so much Debbie, for the first haircut you gave me oh, and I'm very much looking forward to the next! read more

Debbie was the absolute greatest! I can not thank her enough! I left her chair feeling like a new woman, after months of detangling my dry messy hair. She paid so much attention to detail, the way my hair lays, body, etc when cutting. She was also full of tips and tricks to help my husband style his hair as well! Most of all she was so generous allowing my husband and I to come in for a late appointment. - Thank you, Debbie, for making my Birthday the best! read more

I have gone to see Joy at Shearology three times now, and have really liked my cut/style/color each time. She is very reasonably priced and gives a discount if you mention Yelp OR if you send her a referral. She doesn't push products on you (which I hate because I always buy them and then never use them again) and most importantly she is efficient with time. In and out in a reasonable amount of time, and she doesn't double-book (HUGE pet peeve.) Close to my house, answers text messages quickly, and does a great job. 5 stars from me! read more

Shearology Salon - Should update their info to what their salon offers. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

After having my hair ruined by someone else, who shall not be mentioned as they are not the focus of this pleasant post - Iooked at reviews for hair salons and quickly came across the ones raving for Shearology Salon. I booked my appointment for my hair-repair, even though no appointment is required. A super pleasant Debbie answered the phone and was more than glad to assist me in getting in same-day, in just a few hours. She told me that I would be meeting with Mallory. I arrived to my appointment roughly 10 minutes early, and was comforted by the demeanor and atmosphere of the salon. Debbie, whom I had spoken to, sat with another client who was having her hair color repaired after an incident, while Mallory finished up on someone else. The overall vibe is pleasant and very chill. I showed Mallory a picture of what I wanted, and she was able to effortlessly match it. And my hair is a very difficult/thick texture to work with. I didn't think to take before and afters because of my initial stage of distress. But I'm extremely glad I came here, and definitely will be a repeat customer! read more

I have resided in several major cities, such as Manhattan, San Francisco, and Seattle, that obviously have talented stylists, but Debbie at Shearology Salon is in a class of her own. She transcends simply being a technical master of styling and coloring, and truly rises to the level of a consummate artist. The only quality that matches Debbie's talent is her kindness, which makes going to her all the more pleasurable. The icing on the cake is that her pricing is very reasonable, and wherever you reside in the greater San Diego area, it's more than worth the drive to Shearology Salon in Mission Valley.

My daughters and I have been going to Debbie for 20 years. We were very excited when she recently opened her own salon, Shearology. Over the years we have done different colors and cuts. Debbie always lets us know which styles would work for our face shape and lifestyle. She is an expert when it comes to current cuts/styles and hair coloring. It is relaxing to know that I can sit in her chair at the end of the day and know that when I leave my hair will be looking awesome. My daughters will not let anyone else do their hair and have even brought their friends to Debbie. In fact Debbie did my daughter and her friends hair in up-do's for prom. The girls were so happy with the way each girl looked. If you are looking for a great hairstylist/colorist, see Debbie. The salon is centrally located and we drive from Rancho Penasquitos to see her. read more

The only person that has ever done my hair was my mother, however; she is 2,500 miles away and since moving to San Diego, I've only ever got my hair cut once. The stylist barely took time to look at my hair. I ended up with choppy, uneven haircut. I won't mention where I got it done, but let's just say, I was NOT a happy camper. Fast forward a month and I was in dire need of a hair cut and color. Something new and fresh for Fall. I asked around and checked out my trusty Yelp app, and low and behold, Shearology pops up. I read through the reviews, and they were all pretty great. What I liked was that Debbie replied to clients and could tell she genuinely cared and wanted to resolve whatever the issues were. I booked an appointment with her last week, luckily she had an opening today, it was meant to be! When I walked in, we talked about what I wanted to do with my hair, she told me she watched some YouTube videos and had some ideas herself. Luckily, we were on the same page, I wanted to lighten my golden/brassy balayge to a nice softer brown. Perfect for Fall! After the color, she dried off my hair and cut it dry, just like my mom did. She explained they do this so that they can see the way my hair falls. Debbie really took time to check my ends, and evenness of my hair. I could tell she really cared! I've never trusted anyone besides my mother with my hair, but now I trust Debbie! Thank you again for the cut and color, I love it! Pictures to come, I will be back! read more

The people at Shearology are professional, fun and talented stylists. My stylists MK, is amazing at knowing just what I want even when I don't. I trust her so much that I don't even look at what she's doing until she's done she's that good. MK is a genius with African American hair and ladies if you want to walk out with your hair feeling soft, shiny and looking beautiful, MK at Shearology is the one to see! read more

Very pleased customer. In need of a haircut, I was able to make a quick appointment with Debbie earlier this week. She was able to make a couple suggestions with the layers for my haircut which turned out awesome. Living very close, I have visited this salon three times and so far all of my experiences have been good. It is evident they clearly care about customer service. read more

Both myself and a good portion of my family have been going to Debbie for years to take care of all our hair related needs. I was thrilled when I discovered that Debbie had decided to open her own Salon. I can always count on her for recommendations and the simple honest truth about any hair styles I may ever take an interest in. If you're looking for an awesome and talented stylist/ colorist for your hair, I heavily recommend her. Besides the regular color, cut, and style, she is also capable of making beautiful and elegant up-do's for special occasions. I went to her for my Homecoming and Senior Prom hair-stylings and received quite a few compliments from both occasions on my hair. I can also say I've experienced quite the spectrum of different treatments and stylings for my hair. From the reluctantly administered perm in 4th grade (This was all on me. I had strongly insisted that if my cousin was getting one, I was too.), to the 5ish years worth of "Just a trim please", followed by the shocking "chop it all off" visit, and finally to today's much more suitable and fitting highlights and styling, I've never even once considered going to anyone or place besides her. I attend college over 100 miles away from her Salon now, and still drive back for each visit. All things considered, that alone should speak volumes. Professional talents aside however, Debbie is also easily one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. read more

Even though Shearology is technically a new salon, everyone working there has been cutting and styling hair for YEARS, most of them formerly at Golden Touch near Fashion Valley. These are experienced stylists. I've seen dozens of people leave after having their hair cut by the other stylists here and it always looks awesome. As for the salon itself, it's a very open space with tile floors and fancy black chairs and sinks. It's gorgeous, clean, and inviting. I've been seeing Debbie, the owner, for a long time. She always does a fantastic job, whether it's highlights, a new haircut, or "just a trim". I'm a student so I don't have the time or need for a cut that I need to blow-dry everyday. Debbie always gives me a cut that is exactly attuned to my needs and lays nicely. She is incredibly consistent and great at her job, and has been cutting hair for forever. She's also nice and fun to talk to! I also have a pretty specific style--a medium-short bob with bangs--and she always gets it right. I get compliments on my hair really often thanks to her. I know they have a first-timers discount going on right now too, so y'all should get on that. read more

I tried this place after being referred by a neighbor and I have to say I was pretty happy I gave it a shot! I'm very simple with my hair, I get a trim and thinning done every couple months so I can grow it out long enough to donate (I have very thick hair). Getting a simple trim and thinning should be a hard thing to mess up, well, after my experience at my lady salon I realized it's actually not! My hair got butchered!! So of course u was scared to try a new place. I called and made an appointment with Joulie and she was amazing. She's so friendly and easy to talk to. I had some good laughs with her. My hair turned out amazing!! I have zero complaints and I will definitely be back!!! read more

She washed, conditioned, flat ironed, cut and styled my hair, in record time. I will be setting up and appointment with her in the future! read more

We all have those times where we desperately need a haircut, whether it be because we haven't properly maintained our hair (guilty) or we fried our hair by not using proper heat protectant (guilty). Today, I finally bit the bullet and decided to rid myself of my damaged ends and I stumbled upon Shearology Salon. Now, I have had PLENTY of terrible haircuts in the past, and because of this I get nervous to put my locks in someone else's hands. However, at Shearology, as I would come to learn, you won't have to worry. I found parking in the strip mall and I walked into the store. I was quickly greeted and one of the ladies looked at the appointment book and said I could be fit in at that moment. I was excited that I wouldn't have to return later in the day, so plus one for that. Mallory, my stylist, introduced herself to me and led me to the hair washing station. She washed my hair and eventually brought me to the chair to have my hair cut. She talked with me and before long we were conversing like we were friends. All the other ladies seemed to be very talkative with their clients as well. After an hour, Mallory revealed my new style to me, and I loved it! She has he magic touch for my hair. I will definitely be returning to Mallory for my next hair cut and I highly recommend her to anyone who has hair anxiety like myself. read more

Joy Bredestege has been doing my hair for the past few years and I could not recommend someone more highly. She is such an awesome talent! I'm always switching up my style and have been thrilled with the results every time and get so many compliments on my color! My brother has been going to her for over 20 years for his cuts and won't let anyone else touch his hair...so she is so versatile. Amazing highlights and always the cutest cuts. Best part is you don't have to sell an organ to afford her, her pricing is unbelievabley fair! read more
