Monika helped me out! All I wanted was a hair trim, my hair is still totally fried from the last time I had work done! She advised me the style that would make my hair look fuller! She also gave me advice on that I shouldn't touch my hair again until it grows out! Nice to know she's not trying to convince me to do work I don't need! I'll come back to her, for sure! read more

Walked in 5 minutes early to my appointment at 1145 and sat down. Two stylists were busy with clients but working right near the front door but never acknowledged me at all . This is disappointing. You'd think reopening after being closed due to COVID they'd at least say hi to incoming clients ?!?!? I guess not. Its 1146 and still no acknowledgement of me sitting at the front door. Only one hair dresser is wearing a mask. I know restrictions are pretty much lifted but still. Just sent a text to my stylist letting her know I'm here waiting for her. read more

I had been wanting to go lighter for a long time and I decided to call Solutions to see when they had availability. To my surprise, one of their blonde specialists, Anna, had an opening the same afternoon! I showed up and I fell in love! The place is so cute and Anna made my dream come true! She's so sweet and explained the whole process to me along the way. I absolutely adore the outcome and I can't wait to come back in a few weeks for my next lightening session! read more

Monika was fantastic! Great haircut and fair price. Nice experience Thanks Monika! read more

After a series of haircuts that just didn't come out right - at other places, it finally dawned on me that: - the hair on the front of my head barely grows, - on the top it grows a little faster, - and on the sides and back, it grows really fast. (And since I wanted the finished look to come out a particular way, he really needed to have this information.) I explained this to Sonny. He listened - he got it. He then proceeded to cut exactly how much was needed in a given area or nothing. He went slowly and carefully, checking with me along the way. It really feels good to finally get a good,- great haircut. I'll be back. read more

MELISSA IS THE BEST!!!!!! She books quick so make your appointment sooner rather than later. She can also recommend several other stylist that are amazing too! Very clean salon.... cleanliness is a big factor for me. Really nice employees. You never feel uncomfortable there. They offer you water to drink while you are processing and are super friendly if you have a child with you! You won't be dissatisfied! read more

Irina is the best hairstylist of my life. The color, haircut and style she gives me are amazing. I get compliments everywhere I go. People ask me to her business cards in stores etc. all the time She moved to Solutions Hair Design in 2021 and I am happy for her. It's a beautiful salon, very clean, everyone is so friendly. The owner would come to each client to ask how they are doing I always feel there like at home!!! read more

Love getting fun colors and trying new hairstyles! And Grace ALWAYS delivers with whatever shade or cut I'm wanting. I'm also obsessed with the R & Co hair products she uses here. I stock up every time I come! read more

Nice salon very clean and staff are friendly. Anna and Monika both did a great job with the haircuts I have gotten and the prices are pretty reasonable. Wish someone would answer the phone for calls but it's no biggie since everything else is great! Definitely going back! read more

My daughter and I are so happy to have found Grace. She is one of the most down-to-earth and real people I know and love that she works hard to give you the results you want. My hair came out just like I wanted and even better, with the golden carmel blonde I wanted and washed out the brassiness that I didn't want. Grace has a positive vibe and very accommodating, I recommend her 100%. Thank you Grace! read more

Monika is an artist. This is the first haircut/style I've liked for a long time. I found my stylist!

Just got the BEST haircut and style from Irina! I absolutely love it! I honestly had sort of given up on my hair the last couple years. I knew I needed to cut off a good chunk and get blunt ends to try and get some volume. Irina was so careful and patient from the start, looked over the pictures I showed her, and discussed my hair and what works with it, and showed me how she'd give me the bangs I wanted before cutting. She constantly checked in with me throughout. No big cuts without making sure I was okay with the length that was going. The resulting blunt, shoulder length bob with side swept bangs was gorgeous by itself but then...we decided to see what it looked like curled and WOW!!! I didn't think my hair could look like this! No one has ever curled my fine, thin hair so beautifully! I came home and put her number in my phone. I'm sticking with her! read more

I have had my hair done with Grace for several years. I love it. I get a color and cut every 6 weeks and feel fresh and beautiful. Love the coffee bar and beautiful decorated salon. Thanks Grace! read more

I am almost 90 and my patience is very short. I called this time and made an appointment not having the slightest idea how my hair would be cut, but I admit I was very apprehensive to say the least., especially when Grace the lovely and thorough stylist started cutting my hair, altogether differently than the 10 minute cut I was used to getting. The hour she took resulted in a very lovely haircut that I was very pleased with. Thank you Grace, hope to see you next time. The only reason I didn't give the 5 stars is because they are a little more pricey than I've been used to for a long time. read more

Elise did an exceptional job on my hair for my wedding day. I was referred to her by a family member and was not disappointed. I trusted her to make my hair look great for the most important day of my life. She is on time, polite and a true artist. Even after she was done with my hair, she went above and beyond by staying to help me get into my wedding dress. How great is that!? Without her I would have been late to my venue. Just like all of the other comments on this Yelp page about Elise, I had a great experience with her and would recommend and hire her again for any occasion. Thank you for making me look and feel beautiful, Elise. read more

excellent service and the best products! The owner Grace is great and answered all my questions

This place is AMAZING! 5 star client services.. 5 star treatment... 5 star quality products!! I will never go anywhere else! I trust them with my cut and color hands down! read more

I can not recommend Irina at Solutions Hair Design highly enough! I have been going to her for just under a year and I just love her. She is extremely professional, talented, intelligent, personable, and fun, and time spent in her chair is time well-spent. She listens very carefully to what I want and she shares her expertise to clarify. I never feel rushed and I look forward to being with her. I feel so very fortunate to have discovered such a fantastic stylist! read more

I used to go to this salon about 8 years ago under different ownership and my stylist left. Recently I had a wedding to attend, and couldn't find anyone to do my hair. I called Solutions and Grace was able to get me in. She did an amazing job when I gave her little direction and she completed my hair in one hour!! It stayed all night and I received many compliments. She was friendly and engaging during my time there. Come to find out, she is the new owner!! I highly recommend her and give her salon a shot!! I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Susan es la mejor estilista del mundo. Su salon es muy limpio y profesional. Ella es una estilista muy talentosa y su servicio al cliente es de lo mejor. Recomiendo este salón de belleza 100%! read more

I went here on Easter Day. I had set up an appointment with Sasha; she was super accommodating and very professional. I love how my hair turned out, and she really listened to the concerns I had about my hair. I will be returning. It's a beautiful salon! Thanks Sasha! read more

Liked my stylist. great head massage. Horrible cut. I sent a picture of a piece further back from front of hair that was 2" inches shorter. She aplogized and offered to have another stylist fix it. After thinking about it I didn't want the rest of my hair that short. read more

Just had a phenomenal first time appointment with Beckie-she is outstanding at her craft-and a beautiful, delightful person, too! She took such care and time to listen, evaluate, and thoughtfully color-correct my long-neglected hair. The salon is lovely as well. Highly recommend! read more

This review is for Elise Chevrier. The salon itself is really nice but Elise is the best in town as far as I'm concerned. I've been goin to her for a few years now and I'm always happy. I always get compliments, the girlfriends I've had along the way are always super happy with her. If you're a guy lookin for something better than a barbershop.. Elise Chevrier for the win. read more

I was looking for a new place because the customer service was horrible at my old place and saw the amazing reviews and took a chance. I am thrilled that I did! I am a mom of three and needed to update my look for both personal and professional reasons. Grace listened to my needs and I placed myself in her capable hands. I needed some color in my hair to 1) hide the grays, 2) update the color in my hair, 3) needed low maintenance that I wasn't coming in every month for a touch up. I left feeling gorgeous and ready to take on the world. The owner was energetic, genuine, funny and professional. The salon was spacious, large, the other staff were smiling and happy. It gave off good vibes. There is this butterfly that is on the wall to your right as soon as you walk in! Perfect for a photo op (I'll do it the next time I go in). Parking is tough; it is in the same lot as the animal emergency hospital. Spaces are a bit tight. Right across from the old Toys R Us and opposite corner of the Jersey Mikes Sub (used to be Conroys Flowers back in the day). read more

I originally had my appointment with someone else, but she had an emergency and left me with the wonderful Tina Lopez! I had medium length hair that was an absolute mess with dead unhealthy horse-like hair at the bottom. My friend's trial of her home ombre went wrong and Tina helped me cut it off so a cute bob/lob length! She was so nice and we talked throughout the whole appointment. She kind of showed me how I can style my hair with a blow dryer and a round brush and my hair looked amazing! The cut wasn't too expensive @ $40. I will definitely be coming back here in the future!

After contemplating for over a week about writing this review, I finally gave in. I'm not one to complain but having to look in the mirror every day and be reminded of the terrible service I received, pushed me to write this review. I called the salon to see if anyone had time to do my hair. I had driven by and realized there was a salon there. . I was told i could come in that day and was given an appointment with the owner. I had an idea (nothing unachievable) of what I wanted done. After showing her my sample photos and telling her I wanted a drastic change, she assured me it was very doable. Almost FOUR AND A HALF hours after i was seated, she showed me the finished result. My hair looked NOTHING like the photo and it looked as if I just had it washed and curled. Nobody has made any comments about my hair, including family, because it looks the same way it did when I entered the salon. I thought there was a difference and I was pleased at the time, but then realized it looked that way because she curled it. I tried to let it go(again, not one to complain) but after a few days, I reached out and let her know I was unhappy. She was immediately defensive about the service and made it seem as if my hair was the issue("your hair is damaged" "your hair can't lift" etc) . As an owner I would think she would make an attempt to make a paying customer happy. $185, not including tip, and FOUR AND A HALF hours completely wasted. read more

I stopped by here on friday 8/22/14 as a walk in and was very politely greeted and was able to be seen within the hour by Nina. I had really long hair and do to a trauma I had a temporary bald spot in the back of my head that I was very self-conscious about. I explained to her that I wanted to cut it short so I would haven't to keep putting my hair up in a hair tie in this heat because it would expose the spot in the back. She assured me that she could make my hair short and completely hide it and she did! I was so scared that cutting my hair short would make it more visible. She did a fantastic job. I only wish I could blow dry it everyday the way she did because I can never make it look like the pros do when they first cut it! lol. Thank you Nina, you didn't just cut my hair you made me feel better and gave me some confidence back. I'll be back for a trim and have you blow dry it for me again! read more

Following recommendations on Yelp, I choose Solutions for a hair cut. Being in San Diego for a visit, I was in desperate need of a cut. I checked Solutions web site and much to my surprise they had listed all of the designers and there expertise. I picked and called Kitty for her short hair cutting expertise. What a blessing! I was able to get an appointment the very next day . Love my cut and really enjoyed Kitty's conversation and energy! Highly recommend Kitty's style flair read more

It was my first appointment with Elise today and she did absolute wonders on my hair She was so easy to talk to and she really took the time to get my hair the exact style and color I wanted. My hair is naturally black and my hair was super brassy and warm from a previous stylist and she fixed the color to perfection. You can tell she has a passion for what she does and every client she has leaves happy with their new hair and look. It was a pleasure being her client and I look forward to more of our sessions together. She is the only one I will be going to for my hair appointments from now on. I'm in absolute awe of how nice my hair looks and feels and she made sure my experience was nothing short of amazing. I'd love also thank my bestfriend for referring me to her! read more

I have seen Kitty for YEARS because I don't trust anyone else with my pixie cut. Her fees are also super reasonable, $45 per cut with FREE (yes FREE) trims. I live in the high desert now and I still go down to see her because she is that good. She is super friendly and knows how to cut hair well. I can't recommend her enough, she is just the coolest! read more

I highly recommend Solutions Hair Design, particularly Sarah Plotkin. I was introduced to Sarah after a highlighting disaster (that occurred over the course of several months) I had with my previous stylist (at a different salon) who apparently didn't know what she was doing. Not only did Sarah fix it, she made my hair look amazing! She takes the time to truly listen and collaborate with her clients, is very knowledgeable, precise and friendly. I've been seeing her for a few months now and every time she exceeds my expectations! In addition to her doing my hair, she has been giving me such helpful tips that my hair is longer and healthier than ever! Sarah's the best! read more

Tried this salon for the first time last week and Emma Jessee is a hair rock star! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she delivered and then some (in both cut and style!) Will definitely be back and have already recommended to friends read more

Picked this salon since it said Walk-In's were welcome online. There was no sign in sheet so we figured we would just wait where the 5-6 stylists could see us. My boyfriend and I sat on the waiting chairs and no one acknowledged us at all so we left after waiting 25 minutes. Disappointing considering the glowing reviews. read more

Melanie did my hair for my wedding. I was referred to her by a fellow bride and when I met her she was amazing! From the business perspective she was great. She was organized and ready to book me, without being pushy. I initially contacted her via e-mail and when we met she had made a note of the date/time/hairstyles needed on her day planner (in pencil). I liked that she didn't allow herself to get booked out from under me while we waiting for my trial appointment to come. From the hair side of things, she wowed me and everyone else who saw my hair. It was gorgeous! Very full of detail and very sturdy without looking like a helmet. I danced and ran around all during my wedding day and at the end of the day it was all still in place! She doesn't know it yet, but she earned a long term client! read more

Elise is literally the ONLY person I trust with my hair she kept me blonde for years and always did an amazing job. I had moved away for college and eventually went dark again after some time. I recently came back to SD and got my hair done at a different salon which was a huge mistake. Elise fixed the uneven, streaky brassy Brown color they did, and turned it into a beautiful cool toned light brown ! So in love with my hair read more

I drive from San Diego into La Mesa to go to Nina and it's worth every mile. It's important for me to have someone I trust for a good cut. Now, that I've started coloring my hair, it's even more important to have an expert. Nina, spends the time to talk about color and what she can do, what will work best, how long the color will last and how to deal with it if I decide to go completely natural, ahem, gray. My hair feels as soft as when I wasn't using color and looks great. If you need to discuss style and options, she's patient and helpful. The real bonus here is that Nina is just a really nice person, the time spent in her chair is well spent and enjoyable read more

This is the only place I go to get my hair done. Elise Capito is AMAZING. She is the only one I trust with my hair and has been doing it for years. She will give you advice and is very knowledgeable on all hair care products and styles. She wont let you go feeling unhappy with your hair. I have even started taking my 7 year old exclusively to her and my daughter gets excited every time we go see Miss Elise. The salon is super clean and everyone is very nice and inviting. If you haven't been then you MUST check it out and don't forget to ask for Elise. She is one of a kind! read more

I have been seeing SUE SAJONA at Solutions Hair Design since June. She is AMAZING at what she does....I have a very difficult hair style- a "graduated bob" , Vidal Sassoon style- she's gotten it right on the money, each time I've gone to see her!!!! Believe me, the 8 or so people I've gone to over the past 3 years couldn't get it as right as she has.....and, she's really QUICK at it as well !!!! Sign of a true professional. She took the time to really listen to what it is that I wanted as well. Sue is an instructor at a local school of cosmetology, and has been an instructor for years, so she really knows her stuff. She came highly recommended to me by a friend who was one of her students. I'm grateful I found her. She's skilled, professional, and the price is VERY reasonable for the level of experience she has. She's also got a really warm, welcoming personality to boot! I drive from North Park to see her....with all the salons in my area, that's really saying something. Check her out, you won't be disappointed. read more

This place rules! They have tons of stylists on hand and the place is always buzzing. I get my hair cut by Melissa the owner. Everytime the cut is perfect!
