I was referred to Sandra at SRG Salon by a friend and am so grateful I found her because she did an amazing job on my hair. I went in for hair extensions after a bad experience with a prior hair stylist. Without me even having to ask, Sandra took the time to fix and treat my previous hair issues. She really goes above and beyond. Sandra is extremely professional and organized; she pays meticulous attention to detail and is knowledgeable in all aspects of hair styling. Fast forward a month later, I am still very pleased with my hair and will be returning to her not only for hair extensions, but all my hair-care and maintenance needs. read more

Very disappointed with this place after I came in with my Living Social voucher for the Brazilian Blowout for $99. They were able to get me a last minute appointment which I do appreciate. The girl on the phone tells me that they are charging extra for long hair (no mention of this on LS). She said if my hair is only a few inches past my shoulders that I probably wouldn't have to pay extra. I get there and the hair dresser assigned to me says that they will have to charge me an extra $25. I was pretty upset that it was that much. She was nice about it though. The other hair dresser told me that it was listed on LS's website. In my eyes, if I didn't catch it, then it is my fault for being careless. She stated though that LS will refund me the $99 because other people left pissed off with having to pay extra. Again the hair dresser insisted it was mentioned in the ad. I go home and go to LS. NOWHERE does it say that there is an extra charge for long hair. I even read the fine print and the section you click about conditions. I ended up leaving. I have seen the BB specials for as low as $90 regardless of hair length. Called LS and will be getting a check in the mail between 3-5 weeks refunding me the money. Wasted an hour of my time driving back and forth from here as well as gas. Wouldn't go back to even if they did charge me $99 based on my experience. read more

I, too, purchased the $99 LivingSocial deal for the Brazilian Blowout. However, I went through with the deal, even though I was informed that it would be an extra $75 for my long hair. I wasn't told until I actually got in there and the girl examined my hair. But it was the day before my birthday and I figured, oh well, I'm here, I'll give it a try. What a mistake. During the process the girl told me I would be so happy because I wouldn't have to use my flat iron at all anymore. Very exciting to me, since my hair is just inches from my waist and I can spend an hour flat ironing. I went to pay afterward and was told they recommended I purchase $140 worth of aftercare products. I said I didn't want to pay that much and was told that my blowout would not last as long, but if nothing else, I should go ahead and purchase the $39 masque. I went over the aftercare instruction with the girl which clearly state that after using the masque, "use heat protecting serum, blow dry hair." I waited the recommended 36 before putting the masque in my hair (which meant my head was greasy and stinky by then from all the product build up, and I still wasn't allowed to use shampoo), used some heat protecting serum, blow dried my hair and went to work. By 11am I looked in the mirror and noticed my hair was wavy and frizzy. Um, that wasn't supposed to happen. I called the place and the girl said, no, you need to flat iron it. I told her I was a little confused since I was told I wouldn't need my flat iron and the instructions said nothing about a flat iron. She said yes, the instructions say flat iron. No, they really don't. I started using my flat iron after that, just to have the straight, frizz free hair I paid for, and still am completely disappointed with the process. It's been three weeks since I went in for the treatment and my hair is exactly how it was before. Frizzy, wavy, everything I was trying to get rid of. So I guess when they say "can last up to 3 months" it's really about 3 weeks. I emailed the salon one additional time after my phone call to ask if there was anything else I could do, got no response, and sent a complaint to LivingSocial who refunded me half the $99 deal. 100% dissatisfied with SRG Salon and their poor customer service and will never ever consider going back there. read more

Okay, so I bought a LivingSocial deal for a $99 Brazilian Blowout a few weeks ago. I was so excited to because my hair is curly and frizzy to say the least. I am very, very good about always checking the fine print on these deals to make sure there are no clauses, double and triple checked this one before I bought and there was nothing. I went to the salon, they were very nice, did the Brazilian Vlowout for me and then told me that there was an difference fee of $25 that I would have to pay. WHAT? If they planned on charging an extra $25, they should have put that in the deal, not tell me after the fact because I was under the impression that all I would have to leave was a tip. Then, the lady told me that I HAD to buy the products for the Brazilian to hold in my hair. Of course the full bottles were around $140 extra. She then said they had a travel pack, bottles smaller than the complimentary ones that hotels give you, for $40 dollars. So on top of the $99 LivingSocial deal that I paid for, I then paid an extra $65 for all this other crap. Please, do not go here, they will rip you off! read more

The three women who who work there are absolutely the most friendly people. I have followed Britney around as a client for a while and she is worth the following. She always keeps you trendy and with whats new. She will give you an honest opinion and go from there. Parking is not friendly but if you pay in the $3 or $5 parking they will usually reimburse you with no problem. read more

I used the Living Social coupon for the Brazilian Blowout at this salon. Like the other posters below, they charged me $50 on top of the $99 certificate for my 'long hair'. My hair is just past my shoulders. The process typically takes over 2 hours to complete and they did it in under one hour. My hair is still a bit curly (which was not the case after the two other Brazilian Blowout treatments that I have received in the past). This salon is lacking in class and respect for their customers. I would never go there again! read more

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an amazing Brazilian Blowout!! My hair feels amazing, so soft and strong after just one treatment. Plus, the salon provides a relaxing, intimate environment right off Prospect by the beautiful La Jolla cove. Sandra and her girls are very personable and fun to talk to. She even provides a paper on hair treatment and makes sure that you know all the details on taking care of your hair and making the Brazilian treatment last a long time. I will definitely be back for a follow up visit! I'd also recommend Sandra for hair extensions! I haven't had them done in awhile but she's done mine before and I loved them. read more

Sandra Grace has been doing my color and extensions for 4 years . Being in the beauty industry I know who and what to look for when trusting someone with my hair . She is very talented and very good at what she does ... Highly recommended And I am very happy and blessed I have her !! read more

I purchased the living social deal to get the Brazilian blowout for $99. Awesome! Right?! WRONG! I make an appointment and they were able to fit me in! The place seems nice and clean, and so far the girls seem polite. I can't remember the stylist who first helped me but she sat me down and Sandra started to feel my hair and check out the length. She needs to learn how to smile and learn to talk to her clients with more enthusiasm. Yes I get it your at work, but c'mon! She tells me since my hair is thick and its like maybe an inch past my shoulders that they would have to charge an extra $50! The LS add mentioned MID BACK Length Hair to waist will get an extra charge, nothing about the thickness. My hair is not even close to mid back! I agreed not knowing I could have complained to LS to get a refund, so I figured I'm already in, might as well get it done. I also got a quick trim, not even a real hair cut, not shaping, no added layers, just cutting some of the ends off... $50 bucks! I've paid $80 for a hair cut before but it was a 2 hour long session, with styling after and I left satisfied. The Brazilian so far looks good, no complains about that but I would never step foot in that salon again. Customer service needs help. I think they were annoyed with the fact that I already had the Brazilian products and did not want to buy anything. Sandra just threw the instruction papers at me, with no explanation or anything. The other stylist that initially helped me was nice enough to explain everything. That is the reason they would even get 2 stars from me! Go at your own risk!! read more

I haven't been yet, but Living Social has a $99 Brazilian blowout and glass of champagne deal right! http://www.dealon.com/san-diego/deal/today/ Since it's regularly priced as $189, this could be a great deal! I'm definitely thinking about it and will update my review if I buy it! read more

Had 2 Brazilian Blowouts done here and the pricing was inconsistent. One girl charged me $30 more because my hair "appeared" longer...which it wasn't. Also, horrible customer service when the Brazilian did not work and I paid $140. It lasted 3 days even after I followed all the instructions to not wash it for 48-72hrs, use the mask and the Brazilian products (this was not my first Brazilian Blowout). They never returned any of my 3 attempts to contact them regarding a refund or to have it redone. I would NOT recommend this salon. read more

SRG Hair Design is incredible! I have now gone to her 3 times and her work is flawless! She always takes the time to make sure that my color and cut are perfect and that I'm (not just happy) but ecstatic with my new do! Let's just say, I am picky and finicky and she totally puts up with me... and I love her more for that. I will also say that she had been suggesting ideas to me about what color blonde to do or things to try for at least a year, and me being the stubborn girl that I am always said "no no I don't want change"...well I finally let her do what she had been suggesting and let's just say I should have listened to her years ago..ha ha! I recently had a Brazilian Blowout and I can't even begin to tell you all the comments I got on how beautiful it was! My hair is soft and beautiful now, even when it air dries. She knows what she is doing and knows what really looks best on you. She is not just amazing at cuts and color but her styling is fabulous! I've recommended her to everyone I come across who needs cut/color and everything fancy like the Blowout or extensions, and I think I have had almost all of them going to see her :) If you are in need of some TLC, go to SRG Hair Design and you won't be disappointed. I love my hair now more than before and I have her to thank... read more

SRG WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! I purchased the LIving Social's Brazilian Blow-out for $99 and this was the worst experience I ever had at a salon! First- every time I called to make an appointment, it went to the answering machine. The message stated that I should text to make an appointment. So I went ahead and text my appointment for a Friday at 12:30pm. The stylist, Barbara, even text me back to confirm my appointment. I get there Friday at 12:30 and Barbara didn't even arrive til 1:30pm. THEN, she comes up to me and accuses me of missing my appointment on THURSDAY. She said she called and left a message on my cell. I told her I never received any calls from her. I felt bad, thinking I made a mistake. I look back at our text conversation and there it was--FRIDAY 12:30pm. I tell her that my appointment was indeed FRIDAY and she still insists that she called me. I asked her what number she dialed because I'm positive I did not receive that phone call. When she shows me the number, she had my last two digits reversed. Now THAT was just a careless error because my number appeared on her phone from my text--she just transcribed it incorrectly. Now, instead of taking me in because SHE made the mistake and was already being rude to me, she tells me that she won't be able to take me in that day because she's booked. I told her that I live 45 minutes away so it was already inconvenient for me to drive that far AND wait an hour for her to show up just to tell me that I have to reschedule. She said she'll be able to squeeze me in in two hours so I just waited. When she worked on my hair, she was completely rushing through it. After putting the product in and drying it, you're supposed to flat iron the hair to seal the product in. She was running that flat iron through so fast that I knew the blow-out would barely last one month. I was correct. It barely lasted two weeks. I even have the BB shampoo, conditioner, and conditioning treatment from my last blow-out (at a different location) so I know it was a reflection of her work. Ugh, VERY DISAPPOINTING!! read more

I have had a Brazilian blowout three times from SRG Hair Design. Sandra knows what she is doing! She's professional and is easy to talk to. I love her salon. It's fun and in a great location! I first found SRG Hair Design on a living social deal and I am so glad I purchased the deal! As you read earlier, I have been in three times! Definitely will be back:) Thanks Sandra! read more

Sandra has done my hot heads extensions before and I loveeeddd them, everything looked perfect and blended, colors matched, etc. I hadn't gone to her for a while because of moving around and have been to a couple salons and was never Fully satisfied with my color or cut. I found out Sandra opened a salon and wanted to check it out so I called her Thursday night and she got me in first thing Saturday. I loveee my hair. She fixed my color, which was almost black from the girl before to a pretty Lauren Conrad looking blonde and fixed my horrible choppy haircut. everything looks amazing,I could not have imagined anything better. I'm definitely going back in a couple weeks to get my extensions done again! Yay. AND... Her spray tan is awesome, not orange or streaky. So natural! read more

I have been going to SRG for the past year and have had an amazing experience every time I go. The owner does an awesome job on working around my schedule and fitting me in last minute. I usually get my hair highlighted and it comforting to go to a stylist that I trust and know I will get the perfect blonde every time, trust me this has been a challenge in the past with other salons. More recently I had extensions put in and LOVE them. They are a perfect match and easy to do:) I highly recommend this salon if you want quality and overall experience. read more

I have been going to Sandra at SRG Hair Design for three years and I couldn't be more happy with the service! Due to illness and thinning hair, I decided to get extensions. I have had HORRIBLE experiences that left my hair worse than when I started. Sandra literally transformed my hair and life. As a nurse AND fitness personality, I need my hair to look great and be functional. Thanks to Sandras time and dedication to meeting my needs, my hair has actually become a staple to my fitness brand! The quality is great, the price is better than what I have been charged in the past for the same quality hair, and the location is like a mini-vacation. Sandra and Barb are very professional and sweet, I have never had a bad experience! It takes a lot of time and work to get these suckers in and out of my hair and I appreciate them taking the extra time to keep my hair growing and feeling healthy. I even posted a video testimonial as I am so happy with SRG Hair Design. I trust only Sandra with my extensions! She's done amazing Brazilian Blowouts on my hair and extensions to help them blend perfectly as well! Thank you Sandra- you're a doll! http://youtu.be/xnmK_0GA23M read more

So I bought the LS deal as well for $99. When I showed up they checked my hair and said because of thickness it was an extra $50. Well ok since I had already driven here. So I start with one lady who washed my hair, she was somewhat friendly, then sat in the 1st chair, then the 2nd & 3rd. Mind you this is 3 people who have now touched my hair. The 2nd & 3rd were rushing so fast to put the product on I said something about it not coating my hair all the way. I was quickly ignored. Then after the blow dry and hot iron the stylist wasn't paying attention (talking to another stylist) and touched the 425deg Iron on my head. Yeah it burned like heck!! I had blisters. Oops sorry is what I got. WTH?? They tried to sell me the products too, saying you HAVE to use them. I researched when I home and no you don't. I was given the instructions on care and quickly asked to pay and leave. When I go to pay it is now $150. It was explained that it would cancel out the LS deal and I would only have one charge. LIAR! Luckily I didn't wash my hair for 4 days because when I did, it went right back to the way it was when I went in. I was ticked to say the least. I would never ever recommend this salon. I so far go the $99 back from LS. What a crock of a place. read more

Don't go here!!!! Deal Me In is offering the $99 Brazilian blowout and glass of champagne. I bought this deal when it came around a few months ago. I knew there would be an extra charge for long hair (hair past the shoulders) before I got there. I assumed it would be around $25. IT WAS AN EXTRA $75! My hair wasn't even THAT long! The glass of champagne was also non-existent. Two thumbs down. read more

Ok, so everyone is raving about Brazilian Blowouts these days. I've got naturally curly hair which is prone to frizz and tricky to style so the treatment appealed to me. My experience with this salon was not entirely reassuring though. Given their ongoing special offer (I paid $140) I got the impression they were taking on too many customers with a slightly chaotic result! On the day of my appointment I had a call asking if I could delay coming in by 1.5 hours because they were running late. I agreed to this, but when I arrived I still had to wait a little while and was passed between 3 stylists. The treatment itself was straightforward and so far (a week later) I'm pretty pleased with the results. However, two things concern me. Firstly, I felt like the salon were exploiting the fact that they sold the after-care products. The full set was over $100 so I opted for the 'travel kit' which was a hefty $40 despite consisting of only 4 mini (the size you get in hotels) plastic containers of the recommended products (shampoo, conditioner, masque and serum). To add insult to injury, once I agreed to purchase the kit the stylist then had to de-cant the products into these tiny bottles from a bigger bottle which took ages... Even worse, the stuff is pretty much impossible to get out of the plastic bottles (I resorted to using the handle of an old toothbrush!). Secondly, and more worrying, I don't think the health risks of this treatment have been adequately investigated yet. There are concerns about the formaldyhyde levels, despite the people making a lot of money out of the treatment (the brand and the salons) denying it. During the treatment, my eyes were stinging and streaming. I was told this was 'normal'. I have also had a few bad headaches since having the treatment. Of course this could be unrelated but it was made me wary. So in sum I would say it's a pretty good treatment, but I'm not going to be rushing for another one until more conclusive results about the damaging effects have been published... read more

Ok so I bought the brazilian blowout last year on living social for this place it took a very long time to get an appointment with them about 2 months! I get there and immediatly dont like the place parking was horrible, customer service was bad, and the lady kept burning my scalp with the blow dryer!!! I would NOT recommend this place to anyone! There are much better salons in SD that actually appreciate their customers! I dont know how they can run a business like this! read more

I strongly recommend SRG Hair design. It's a great hair salon. Their service is outstanding and warm! Their brazilian treatment really works but you have to buy their products so it can last for a very long time. I did mine last JUNE and i still have its effects! I had purchased their Living social deal for my next treatment and keep calling every month to postpone it, as my brazilian still works. They have the best deal for it also, which includes a glass of champagne. read more

I've been going to Sandra for at least 3 years for Brazilian Blowouts now and have always had great service and great results. She is relaxed and fun, but knows her stuff. Her pricing is reasonable, and she's always able to fit me in within a week or two. I'll definitely keep going back so I can keep my lion hair under control! read more

LOVE this place! Super girly and small. Sylvia is AMAZING and always makes my hair look really blonde and beachy without damaging it or looking looking fake. Last thing I want is to look like a Real Housewife of whatever with gross bleached blonde hair! lol!!! totally recommend her and this place! read more

Sandra has been doing my hair consistently for over 5 years because she is the BEST! I'm blonde and she knows exactly what looks good with my skin tone taking into account tan in the summer, more light in the winter. Low lites, extensions, Brazilian, she does it all. My friends all go to her now and they all love her! Laid back vibe, no pretentious salon bs to deal with. If I could give more stars I would. Try her out, you'll be hooked like everyone else. read more

I had a terrible experience at another salon in La Jolla that left me in tears, coincidentally that salon moved to Solana Beach and changed their name! I was desperate to find a new salon, but also super skeptical. My sister had a Brazilian Blowout at SRG and LOVED it, so recommended I check it out. I am always anxious going to new salons, because my hair is unruly and it need a lot of attention. I was so pleasantly surprised by the level of service and expertise the co-owners at SRG have. I had extensions, color and blowout and I walked out soooooo happy and keep coming back. What I love about this place is that its a more personal experience, because it is small and you usually have the place to yourself. With doing new procedures that make you anxious like Brazilian Blowouts and extensions....its so nice to have one on one time with your stylist. It certainly makes me more at ease trying new things. This salon was definitely a blessing in disguise....love it. read more

Sandra is awesome! Super friendly, and she does a great job! She rescued my hair after another salon screwed it up. She fixed the color, gave me a great cut, and did damage control on a bad Brazilian Blowout. I will never go to another stylist; she is the best! read more

Reconsider. I purchased the living social voucher. Got an appointment easily enough, but they upcharged me for no real reason. Then, the blowoout was not that great. They were not that great. Living Social should reconsider doing business with them. read more

This is false advertisement at its best, a HUGE rip off and the lady that did my hair was incredibly rude. She charged me $75 extra at my appointment because my hair is so thick she needed to use more product (on top of the $119 I already paid throught living social) and never gave me my champagne or shampoo (said she was all out). There was absolutely nothing in the fine print about them being able to charge extra and no one told me this on the phone. And I paid extra for the shampoo and didnt even get it! Also, this was my first brazilian blowout and after talking to my regular hairdresser and other friends who have had this done before, that lady didn't even do it correctly. Therefore, my hair is already curly and it has only been a few weeks. It is supposed to last 3 months. A lot of places are offering the brazilian blowout cheaper than this-I ended up paying over $200!! Anyways, I would definately discourage anyone from going there and if you already bought the coupon..get your money back!! read more

Well, I got one of those daily deals for the Brazilian Blowout and after hearing how some of my friends had sat in chairs at other salons for up to 6 hours I was a little nervous... After getting to the salon I found out there was no reason to be. I have to mention that I have been plagued with my horrible hair ALL of my life!! It has 3 different curl patterns and hard to dye greys...I've tried Japanese straightening (disaster), and even went to an ethnic salon (worse disaster) to try and tame the curls. And even taming has always been a crap shoot..Anyway, it was awesome, quick and I can't wait for my next appointment! They also have a treatment for INOA color, that has no ammonia! and for super dry hair like mine, it's bonus on top of bonus. If I could give more than five stars, I would! I had my hair dyed and a Brazilian blowout in less than 3 hours! They also took the time with me after to make sure I knew how to do upkeep, I already use the products from the time I had it before but they went in depth with me and explained how the products worked. They are board, Brazilian, redken certified and I finally feel like after many, many years of hair disasters, I am delighted with my hair and awaiting my next appointment! Longer hair here I come!Thanks! read more

Stay away!!! Very unprofessional! I purchased the Living Social Brazilian Blowout special and called to book an appointment. The phone number was just a normal voice mail for some lady named Barbara....no mention of a hair salon. Received a call back two days later saying that it would take 3 months to get me in! Fast forward 3 months later...I hadn't received a confirmation call so I called one day before the appointment. The v/m for Barbara said to call a different number to reach SRG so I called it and it was another cell phone with no voice mail recording! I found this very unprofessional (and shady!) for a business. I left a message at 9am (it was a Friday), giving them a whole day to call back. No one called back that day and I was already thinking even if they do, I'm over it. They finally decided to call me back the next day about an hour before the appointment but this was way too late, I had already made other plans for the day. I called Living Social and asked for a refund. Luckily they were very understanding and promptly gave me the refund. read more
