I had such an amazing experience at Split Ends! Used to come in college but haven't been back in years-the experience only got better! First, they accommodated me last minute via email when I made an emergency appointment while traveling. Second, the services they provide are unparalleled. I interacted with all the staff that day somehow and everyone is friendly, thoughtful, they explain everything, and even offered (all Aveda) complimentary scalp massage, mini-facial, and a little makeup trial with my cut and wash. Antonet was up front with me about matching my haircut goals with reality and did an awesome job styling after the fact since I was on my way to a wedding. Outstanding service and wonderful people! Will come back on my next visit. read more

Yesterday I freaked out and needed to get my hair cut ASAP. I went to Split Ends after being referred by a friend. Actually: I called them at 12:30, they said they could fit me in at 1pm, but after needing to get gas they happily moved me to 1:30. They say they have parking in the back...and they do, it was just so full! The surrounding streets were packed too (this is a Saturday afternoon in the summer). But I did luck out and get a spot in front of the store. So: Go with plenty of time to find parking! I got Rebecca, who was cute, seemed new to the job, but had done a good job on my friend's hair. She cut it exactly as I asked for...and then convinced me to color. I've never professionally colored my hair before. I'm a box girl of 10+ years. She did a FANTASTIC job...with a little help since I gave them permission to play with my hair. After feeling all lovely I gave Rebecca permission to cut it anyway she wanted...its not much different than what I asked for and I love it!!!! I was there for almost 4 hours. It took forever, but then I was getting a lot done. They even offered to wax my brows for me and Rebecca went to Carl's Jr and brought me back food! She was lovely! Now. It is an Aveda salon, so its probably more expensive there...and I was expecting just a 50-60$ hair cut...I was more than a little nauseous when it came to pay. Maybe it is expensive there...maybe I just didn't know the going rate for what I was getting...but I payed WAY OVER 60$. I would totally go back again. Rebecca now has a regular client in me, but I probably won't be going all that often, or maybe I'll just go for a cut! :-) read more

I got my hair done by Candice religiously for about a year when one day she charged me $498. I got three colors and a feather. She mentioned she was going to Vegas (you're welcome for paying for the hotel). I go to evian salon and day spa in la Jolla now. Rated SD's best salon. Still can't recover from paying that much. I didn't yelp at the time but now that I do, be warned that you will be robbed ;(. It's a shame because with all that being said, Candice did made my hair look flawless. BUT Let me give credit where credit is due. The salon uses Aveda hair products and color which is amazing. The smell and way it works with any hair type is awesome. The salon also offers complementary water or hot tea and hand massages. Every time I've been in I am greeted with a smile. The salon itself is great. Someone mentioned earlier that they don't like how management pushes you to buy the products for 20+ minutes. I find that to be VERY true for this salon. If I told you once I don't want to buy it, then I don't want to buy it. Yes, I can live without it. The pressure sales is very annoying. With my experience I really do find it more of a hassle to get my hair done than a treat, which isn't right. read more

Jennifer did such an amazing job! I absolutely LOVE my hair~ The employees were so kind, welcoming and fun, they made my experience very pleasant and unforgettable. 10/10 would come again and recommend to my friends~ read more

Split Ends - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

I've had some time to reflect and think about my experience with this salon and feel compelled to leave a review. I want to start this review by stating that I really love my regular stylist, Dolce. She is a warm, compassionate, loving, and a talented artist. She connects with her clients in a way that I truly feel safe in her hands and her expertise. I have been seeing Dolce for most cuts at the salon, and I am always so happy to see her. Unfortunately, the last few times I've been to this salon, I've had essentially a nightmare of an experience. I asked for color and cut, and wanted a change. I'm in love with copper color and trusted that the other stylists would be like Dolce since they're all trained by the master stylist. I am going to be omitting the names of the individuals I am dissatisfied with from this review to protect the integrity of their identities, as I sincerely hope that this nightmare will be rectified as I have been a regular for about 3 years now. I always tip, even when I dislike my service because they work so hard, as does anyone in the service industry, and working in the service industry myself, you always tip because it's just good karma. On Saturday, 5/14/16, I really needed a haircut and color. I will absolutely admit to wanting a drastic change after an emotional event, however I had been talking about this change with Dolce for a while and found the perfect color on pintrest. On this particular occasion, I went to the girl that had cut my hair a few months before. I thought since Dolce wasn't available I could trust my hair with the newer girl. She's a very sweet person, and I can tell that she's new, as she had the master stylist come over and tell her what to do to achieve the look. We were all excited and ready for a fun change! Except, as my girl was mixing the colors, and we started the process, I discovered the entire process would be $310 for cut, color, and highlights(I usually pay around $150 and my hair wasn't dark, it was very light brown/red). Yikes The stylist continued to work on my hair and she was really friendly while applying everything and washed my hair out. When we got back to the chair and I saw the highlights, and I was mortified. I said I didn't like them, and my stylist said that's how highlights look when you wash them and that my hair will blend in to it while she blows it out. She spun the chair around and blow dried my hair. It was...not okay. I was not happy with it at all. My highlights were streaky, orange, and parts of my hair were fried. She said that it'll blend into my hair, then curled my hair and sent me off. When I got home to examine my hair, I had an anxiety attack at how bad it was. Large strips of highlights were in my hair. Not blended at all, and the look I requested was so completely far off from what I had, I was devastated. Not only was the color horrible, the cut was too. I had holes in my hair, and my hair was fried and damaged. I called the salon the very next day because I wanted my hair to be fixed. They were understanding and offered for me to come in to fix the color and cut. I got to the salon and had the master stylist that originally consulted the newer stylist on my hair asked why I didn't love my incredibly chunky, stripy high lights and insisted that was the look I showed her. I pulled up my phone and showed her the pictures I originally showed them, which clearly had no severe highlights and had to point out the damage to my hair. I said I wanted the damaged part cut off and for my color to be close to what I asked for. She seemed offended that I disliked her style suggestion from before, cut my hair, and told me she'd blow dry my hair out for me since I had work later in the day. She offered a complimentary deep condition treatment, however, she started getting distracted by her next client, left the treatment on my hair for less than two minutes, and instead of blowing my hair out, she stuck me under the old-school hair dyer/heating cap thing. She offered to sell me more products and I was like no, no thank you. I tipped her for her time because again, this is something you do in the service industry, and left. I'm so upset at how I was treated at the re-do appointment and my hair still has some orange highlights at the base, but at least she blended the color and cut the damage out. I went home with partially wet hair, and had to style so I could look professional for work later in the day. I hope that they understand how incredibly unhappy and anxiety-producing this experience has been. I'm beyond dissatisfied with the service I received for the results from the first time, and even more so at the re-do. I sincerely hope they see this review and understand they will lose a great client if they don't refund me, or at least offer a free cut and color as I honestly want to go back one more time and give them a chance to make this better and restore my confidence in their service read more

This place is great - Go see Candice - She's the BEST! I love going there for the great job Candice does! She's done coloring, highlights and trims on my hair and always does the best job! She's also super friendly and knowledgable. She suggests products for my hair, but is NEVER pushy. Did I mention I've also received free facials and makeovers while I'm there? The price is a litle higher than I'd like to pay, but I definitely think its worth it! read more

This place is AMAZING!! I go to candice and she does the bext job! I've been going to her for a little over 3 years now and I can honestly say I feel like friends w/ the girls when I go in more than a customer because of how well they treat you there. I won't go anywhere else. read more

I did my research before I came to this hair salon. Sophia the receptionist was very nice and helpful. Gave me an appointment and when I came back the stylist did a great job on my hair! Love ! read more

I highly recommend this place. My stylist did an AMAZING job on my hair which I was complemented on daily, until the point when it started to grow out & I needed a cut again. They are an Aveda salon which means all the ingredients used in their products are all natural. On top of that you get a free facial cleansing & make-up (possibly just on the 1st visit) I would recommend seeing Candace who was my hair miracle worker (seriously I'm not exaggerating) & made the process very comfortable & pleasant. If you're interested I have discounted referral cards so you can try it out for yourself. =) desileigh@gmail.com read more

I heard about Split Ends from a friend and I have been sooo thrilled with Candice that I would refer anyone looking for a fabulous cut, color, eyebrow shaping etc. Candice is super friendly and knowledgeable and never pushy with extra services and product. The rest of the staff is also really nice. Check them out, just make sure to make an appointment they book up quickly ! PS. Their prices are soooo LOW compared to what I'm used to spending, I couldn't believe it! I had extra money left over for added services : ) read more

Ive been going here since I moved here in 2000. I cannot say enough about Candice and how great she is!! Thanks Candice for your devotion to your work! read more

I used to love this salon, their coloring used to be super on point, and still is... if you want to suffer through constant sales pitches. This place is like the used car lots of hair salons. They try and sell you on every product, they are relentless. It really was a huge turn off for me, and sorry to say, after being a loyal customer for years, I won't be returning. read more

!W0WZERRRSZZ LADiES & GENTZ! Talk about a transformation(: I came here just today for a cut and color and for thee first time ever in my life i already have scheduled a future appointment.. I haven't had a salon that I knew for sure that I will be back so pencil me in kind of feeling. I liked the hair salon I've gone to prior to Split Ends but it was in Downtown and parking was an inconvenience unfortunately.... BUTT! within no time of searching I found my"go to" (: YAY to me! & there is parking in the back (: [CANDICE] did my do and she is absolutely amazing true stylist for sure! She is so sweet & she LISTENS. Complimentary shoulder, neck, head and hand massages and makeup. All the girls in the salon are very sweet attentive and very observant... I Loved my experience at this salon and i will be back for more (: read more

My daughter needed a haircut but wasn't excited about her past experiences at local chain salons. I researched and saw Split Ends here in Yelp. I called and made a reservation with Amy. She was very sweet and personable on the phone, and even though it was the end of the day on Sunday, she did a fabulous job. My daughter went from being reluctant to ecstatic about the way Amy did her hair. I asked her if she wants to go back for her next haircut and she said definitely. Props to Amy! read more

I don't do many reviews, unless I really feel the need to. And this is one of those times. The stylists here are super sweet and friendly, and always make sure you know what they're doing, and using. The vibe is super relaxed and friendly, and their products are 95% (or more?) vegan. All around a wonderful shop with awesome stylists. read more

I Found this place through Yelp and I feel scammed !!! I went to get the Queratine treatment and a hair cut for my Mom & I and we pay waaaaaaay TOO MUCH for the service!! It has been not even 2 moths and even with the right products my hair is WORST than what I have before, my hair has too much splits ends ( now I get the name of this place) and my mom the same problem. The people there are nice but I went there for a great hair service not to make friends. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! read more

I was referred by a client of mine to this place so I decided to try it out. Being in the service industry, I feel bad about having to write this review - but due to how I was treated on the phone today when I called to talk to the manager - this review needs to be written. My service provider was Ashley, she's one of their junior stylists. She was super friendly - this is nothing against her personality - but she needs a bit more experience. I've never had my hair dry-cut before, but clearly this girl didn't know what she was doing. My hair was two different lengths on each side after the cut was finished - she said she was going to fix it after doing the color. The color was a whole other story...she didn't listen to what I wanted and didn't give me the color I asked for. Needless to say, after the color, she didn't really fix my hair at all, so I left pretty pissed off about the whole thing. I called today to speak to the manager about my experience, and the girl who answered the phone told me no one was available until Tuesday. I really wanted to speak to someone so I asked if there was anyone else, and they started laughing. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS - If you have a bad experience, the rude concierge will just laugh at you. If I can't get my money back (after spending $200 mind you) for a bad cut/color, the least I can do is prevent anyone else from wasting their hard-earned money here. read more

Love the ladies here, always so happy. Ashley takes the time to get my hair perfect and loves her clients! Also, an Aveda Salon which has high quality products. Highly recommend this salon and Ashley! read more

I've been living in SD for almost 4 years now and it hasn't been easy to find a good stylist. But Lisandra did a great job! I hadn't gotten my hair done in a long time and it was my birthday. I told her and the girls what I wanted and they did exactly that! I LOVE MY HAIR! Its very long and I told her how I wanted to go a little bit darker and wanted to add in some more layers without losing too much of my length. She did just that! Or I should say THEY. I had the A-team! They knew I had to be at work soon so I was on a little bit of a time crunch (I was a walk-in). I was given a scalp message, a shoulder massage and hand massages..and some nice hot tea! Aveda salons really are so good, and as far as them trying to sell me on the products..I wasn't hassled at all! I actually ended up buying something too! I love this place and the service I got, this is definitely my go-to salon now. read more

I have been going to Cassie at this salon for nearly years. Over this time frame I have stopped to asked myself "why am I still going here?". Well, after my most recent visit, I will no longer be asking myself as I am now on the search for new stylist. Let me start by saying that Cassie is a very sweet person and by no means untalented. However, if you are looking for someone to give you advice on your hair or change the style, she is not your stylist. She is great at keeping it basic and/or following existing lines. Here's some back story. Every few years or so I like to cut off all of my hair to donate. This past summer I had the itch. I wanted to try something a little different, go a little shorter. I attempted asking her opinion based on what she new about my hair having cut it for 2+ years but with no help. Just a "but your hair is so pretty long". Finally I choose a style that I think matches my face and hair and make the appointment. This was one of those times when I should not have ignored my gut and just not got the haircut. She was giving off weird vibes and clearly wasn't comfortable going forward. I had her forge ahead anyway. The cut was awful. It was shorter than I wanted, not the style I showed her, and just looked terrible on me. I wore my hair pinned back for a over month until it grew it out a little. Fast forward 7-8 months and I really need a haircut. The style is off since my hair has grown a lot and the ends need some serious love. My husband convinces me to give Cassie another try. Talk to her about what went wrong so we can start again, so to speak (yes, I know this is only hair and it grows back but I still have to wear it everyday). So I do. And I try telling her the above. She just either isn't getting it or refusing to, basically treating it as my poor decision to get my hair cut like that ignoring that she didn't do anything I asked. Anyway, on to the new cut. I tell her I want a subtle long bob. I am growing my hair out again but it needs some style. She proceeds to tell me how popular this cut is right now and how she is debating it for herself. That makes me feel pretty good about it, something she knows and likes. That's not what I got. My haircut was just a cleaned up version of what I went in with. No added bob. No added style of any kind. I actually had to remind her NOT to do the face framing because that seems to be her fix for everything for my hair, long or short. Needless to say, I will be looking for a new stylist. It is unfortunate because I do really like her and the salon, but I am not the most beauty savvy so I need someone who can help me. If I could tell her exactly what to do or just keep my hair the same all the time, then I would keep going to her. She does cut hair nicely. I apologize, as I know my review is all over the place. I really do have such mixed feelings and am bummed about the whole experience. read more

I stumbled upon this salon while on Aveda's website. I really wanted to love it, but my experience was only average. There is parking in a small lot in the back alley. They offer you free Aveda tea or water on your way in. The prices seem very reasonable...$35 - $45 for a cut depending on the stylist; which includes shampoo with scalp massage, a mini facial and dry/style. They also offer free makeup touch-up on your way out. I saw Cindy, who is the owner and charges $45. She is very confident and I am happy with my cut. She worked very fast and sometimes a little rough for my taste (ie. yanking my hair and combing my ear). She also doesn't take suggestions very well, like she knew what I wanted more than I knew what I wanted. She was very pushy for additional services and products. Cindy's 2 kids were "working" in the salon for the summer and seemed to be more in the way and annoying than any help to anyone. Overall, this salon has great potential, but fell short. I will go back for a 2nd try, but I won't be seeing Cindy. read more

When I moved to SD one of my biggest "fears" was finding a new hair dresser/salon that I loved! Thankfully I found Split Ends & Candice. Fast forward 6 years later and I'm still a loyal fan of both! I've recommended Split Ends to many of my friends over the years, and they're all very happy customers. Candice has been with me through long, dark, ombre, blonde, caramel and now short hairstyles! Her coloring technique is amazing - I get compliments constantly. If you're going ombre or highlights - she's the best. We all know we bring pictures and pins with us - and she is able to easily interpret them into something that works for you. I trust that if I come in and show her something and say I want this, I will walk out with it. After 30 years of long hair, I finally took the leap and cut my hair short this past year - and I wouldn't have trusted anyone other than Candice to do it. The salon is full of great stylists - I would recommend Bernice or Cassie to anyone as well. read more

AMY IS THE BEST!!!! I started going to Split ends about 2years ago I love AVEDA products and was looking for a more comfortable salon than the other AVEDA salon was going to Gila something ;) So I came across Split Ends since I worked in PB at the time I noticed they had an offer for highlights I booked an appointment with Amy and I don't color my hair anywhere else I only trust Amy she did a great job I got the work low light high lights and color I loved my hair and most of all I love Amy and the people they gave me a hand massage while my hair was drying and complimentary make up after..... Amy always ask how when I go for my touch ups she'll remember thing I told her moths before .... although I haven't been there for awhile I cant wait to go back :) totally recommend this salon read more

I had to switch salons after a series of an ineffective keratin treatment, an eyebrow waxing that left me with a scab, and some very chunky highlights with surprise low lights added. I liked it here, and they do a nice job with haircuts but I needed to go to a new salon to fix the highlights. It was a pot to pay for work that needed serious fixing! read more

My all-time favorite salon! I have been thoroughly in love with this place for about a year now. Every stylist is super nice, but I must recommend Candice in particular. I get highlights and extensions done by her religiously and she always gets it right, no matter how much I change my mind, or fail to properly explain what I want...and I am SO finicky and uptight about my hair. Not only is she great to talk to (at this point, I feel like she's my therapist), she is incredibly talented and will always make you look awesome! The place has a great vibe, is always really clean, and they treat people really well (especially the regulars!). The prices are fair, and they have a lovely selection of Aveda products. They offer great suggestions on what products would really work/what they used during that appointment without being pushy or overselling. That is a huge pet peeve that I have with salons normally. They are simply informative and helpful. The only reason I would hesitate to write this fab recommendation is that I don't want people taking up time slots that I want :-) read more

I moved to San Diego 5 years ago and thankfully found Split Ends within a few weeks. Cindy is honestly the best stylist I've ever had! I even feel comfortable telling her to do what she thinks will look good! The shop is clean and tidy and Cindy always has a smile on her face! She's the absolute best and my husband always loves what she does with my hair. Aveda has great products too! read more

I've got my conditioning treatment and ends slightly trimmed here 2 weeks ago. Can't see the result of treatment at all. Prices went up (so as in February I paid $70 for a great haircut, conditioning treatment and nice neck massage; this time I paid $110 for so-called treatment and 2 inches of cut hair). They also were trying to sell their water filters in a too pushy way. Not coming back read more

Joanne gave me the best cut and color of my life.

They cut my hair and massaged my scalp for twenty bucks!

Candice is amazing! I have been going to her for the past 3 years and every time I am impressed! She is knowledgeable, kind, and suggests things without being pushy. I always walk out of the salon with amazing looking hair. Thanks Candice! read more

The owner and his wife seem to order everyone around and are very combative in the business. I got my hair done here, and though the prices are fair it isn't worth the drama filled place. Also, I've been to many Aveda salons, and they don't seem to have the guidelines of the philosophy in tact, aren't Aveda places supposed to be a harmonious calm environment? Not here. read more

First off, I have medium to long hair and I'm blonde. It has always been extremely hard to find a hair stylist. I almost always walk out out of a salon disappointed. I usually pay unreasonable rates for what I am asking to be done.This was just the opposite. Cindy was my stylist. She was extremely professional as well as personable. She helped me communicate the type of cut that I wanted. From this point on I will always go back to this salon. Anyone who is trying to find a hairstylist should try out Cindy. You can tell that she loves what she does! The place was super clean and inviting. Staff was so helpful and friendly. It is reasonably priced and most of all I'm so happy with my new Hair style. read more

I wish yelp would let me give 0 stars! I called Spilt Endz to make an appt. after seeing a deal $20 off for first time customers deal online. I mentioned the add when I called and the girl sounded very familiar with it. I booked my appt. for a solid color and asked how much it would be... the girl told me $65 or a LITTLE more for long hair. Since I have long hair I know the deal, I get charged about $15 more (little did i know!) So I arrive for my appt. and am seated pretty quick. The girls talks to me about what I want and starts on my hair. While she was mixing my color a gal who looked "important" walked up to me and handed me a list of services and said "Let Barbara know which one you'd like to add on today" I had a bad feeling from then on!!!! The whole time I was sitting there they were trying to sell me product after product.... sooo fraustrating I go to pay and relize there was still dye at the base of my neck so she had to re-rinse me..errrrrrr Anyhoo. I get to the counter and mentioned the coupon I have...they had to get a manager because they never heard of it!!!! The manager ends up giving it to me after quizing me on where i got it...thennnnnn the total comes...$130!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ask the girl to itemize and they ended up adding on a bunch of stuff I didn't ask for..like a treatment and re-rinse... anyhoo I ended up getting the total down to $90 after speaking to a manager and letting her know I never asked the girl for a treatment or a re-rinse (THEY LEFT DYE IN MY HAIR!!!) LONG STORY SHORT, YELPERS BEWARE - DON'T GO HERE FOR YOUR HAIR :) read more

I came here on a whim visiting my sister & had the absolute best experience. This salon is great! Amy was my stylist and she was absolutely amazing ! I came in for a cut and ended up getting color & it was the best time ever! The whole time you get completely pampered with great tea and a relaxing massage . I even got a nice facial for FREE! My skin felt great! Not to mention my color and cut looked fabulous. She even took the time to do a great round brush most places don't. She cut my hair just how I like it! I'm going to be moving here in January and I definately found my new stylist & new salon! read more

Cyndi is amazing. I walked out of there after a scalp detox and glossing of the hair feeling like a million dollars and an overall feeling of inner peace. I don't know why I'm just now discovering this place but I'm never putting anything except Aveda products in my hair. Cyndi is the mad genius scientist of hair and probably the only person allowed to do anything to my hair ever again. I will come here again and I highly recommend to anyone! I'll post pictures soon!!! I'll be going back for my purple hair extensions. Stay tuned!! read more

I've been going to Split Ends for a little over a year now, mostly for highlights. Cyndi is absolutely wonderful! She really talks to you about what you want and shows you color options. I usually want some combo of highlights and low lights and she always takes the time to work with me to get exactly what I want, and it always turns out great! Whether you're in for a simple cut or something more elaborate, you'll start with a nice scalp massage that includes essential oils. During your appointment, you'll also receive a hand massage. Finally, you can opt for a complimentary mini-facial during your hair wash. I highly recommend visiting Split Ends and seeing what they can do for you! It's the right price too! read more

I give 3 stars only because I am the kinda guy who thinks its nuts to pay over 10 bucks for a cut haha. BUT, I went in there after not having cut my hair for a year and a half and told her to do with me what she wanted. Came away kind of not liking it til it grew on me and a year later I keep it the same, The scalp massage is awesome, the staff is friendly and attractive. Maybe I paid for the view haha. read more

I have been going to Split Ends for 3 years now and I would not even consider another salon. Candice is my stylist and let me tell you, this girl knows her stuff! I used to have so much anxiety going to get my hair done, and before Candice I was almost always unsatisfied with my results. Those days are long gone- I put total trust and confidence in Candice and I always walk out happy with exactly what I wanted. Split ends is definitely the salon to go to if you want that perfect southern california BLONDE! :) Every single person who works there is super sweet and I always feel like I am hanging with great friends when I am there! Oh, they always have the newest magazines and yummy tea! This is my favorite salon in San Diego and I definitely recommend it to all!! read more

Cyndi is an amazing stylist. She has done everything from my conditioning treatments, color, facials to my extensions. She is all for keeping her clients happy with the healthiest hair. She knows what she is doing and is extremely honest about not doing a certain service on a clients hair, if their hair isn't in the best condition. She cares and that's what is most important. Anyone can take your money and mess up your hair. She will not. I trust her the most with my hair. She is awesome, does AMAZING hair and is very trust worthy and caring. She also cuts my boyfriends hair too. He also won't go to anyone else, he gets the under cut:) read more

My favorite part about Julie cutting my hair is that e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e I know (friends, co-workers, oblivious male friends) all comment on how great my hair looks. I've had it long, short, dyed and natural color, and every single time I leave the salon I get dozens of compliments... which is how many of my friends have become her loyal customers too! Julie has done an amazing job styling my hair for two years. She's funny, personable, and a real pro. She's got a great visual eye, and the cuts grow out really well. In fact, my 6-week grown out haircut from Julie often looks better than when I first get it cut by others! Can't recommend her highly enough. read more
