Lilia has been cutting hair in her C Street Salon in downtown San Diego for over 35 years & throughout the intervening years I've justifiably been one of her very loyal patrons because Lilia is just absolutely the very best at what she does! Previously, I used to have a "wow" precision bob haircut by Lilia before I encountered, fought & was cured of cancer @ Scripps La Jolla & now by choice according to others I currently have a "very edgy" heavily shorn haircut that others & I just adore & which I currently receive so many compliments all due to Lilia. Lilia recently moved to the Studio V La Jolla, CA location within the Crossroads La Jolla complex on 9135 Judicial Drive & she cuts both men's & ladies hair. Accordingly, if you're looking for a terrific haircut @ a very fair & reasonable price especially considering Lilia's extraordinary hair-cutting experience & talents you certainly won't go wrong! So all you guys & gals what are you waiting for? Please give Lilia a call & make an appointment with Lilia @ your earliest mutual convenience! Naturally, personally I feel extremely confident you'll both be very glad & satisfied you did! Jutta H. H. Harden San Diego, CA read more

I had a disappointing experience with Niurka. I came in originally for a root bleach. The stylist told me my hair was too weak for additional bleach, so I change my decision and showed a clear photo of exactly what I wanted to avoid additional bleach. She never explained that the result would look completely different from the photo. I ended up with something nothing like what I asked for and still paid $150 for it. When I expressed my concerns, she said it was "pretty," but that doesn't change that it wasn't what I requested. She offered for me to come back, but after this experience, the trust isn't there. She also required me to pay through Venmo as a Friends payment even though this was a business service, which leaves customers without any protection. If this happens to you, you can report it directly to Venmo, and you can submit concerns about improper business practices through the IRS's public tip form.(IRS Form 3949-A -- Information Referral) Based on my experience, I wouldn't return. read more

I had a baleyage done with Anais. I was very stressed out about trying a new hairstylist, but she was very professional and kind, and she gave me the best hair color that I've ever had. I was afraid of any breakage, but my hair looked even healthier after she was done with it. She was very patient and caring and she also gave me a free hair mask which was very kind of her. Definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. 10/10 read more

Studio V La Jolla - Baleyage - Hair Salons Near Me - San Diego, California

The salon is near a large apartment complex, which can be really convenient for those who live in the complex. I'm not sure if there is easily accessible parking though. The space is really small. I was the only one in the salon with the hair stylist but I can't imagine if there were others in there with us, it would probably trigger my claustrophobia. read more

I love my haircut, hairstyle, hair color and highlights, I am very impressed with my new looks. I love you Nicki, you are the best hairstyle ‍ I never had. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding, God's bless you all the time. read more

I moved to Orange County 2 years ago and still drive back to San Diego every 6 weeks to have Nikki do my cut and color. That should tell you everything. She is talented and knowledgeable and listens to my input. She keeps up with the latest trends and products. She is worth seeking out if you live in San Diego!! And even if you don't read more

I contacted Niurka (Nikki) after receiving a promotion through my apartment complex (La Jolla Crossroads). Nikki was able to get me in quickly in her schedule. She gave me highlights and they are absolutely beautiful! They're super light but very natural looking. She was super professional and friendly... truly a lovely woman! I was a little nervous to see someone new but she made me feel very comfortable. Her prices were very reasonable and she was very up front about pricing which I always appreciate. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks, Niurka! read more

I have gone to Studio V twice now, once for a haircut and once for a balayage hair color, both with Rayna, and I absolutely LOVE it!!! I've lived in San Diego for about three years now and have struggled to find a good hairstylist because my hairstylist back home has been cutting/styling my hair for over 20 years now. Went to a couple different places with little to no success. Decided on a whim to join a friend who gets her services through Rayna, and I'm SO happy I did! Rayna was knowledgeable, so easy to talk to and laugh with, and really took great care of me and of my hair--checking in with me throughout the process, making sure I was comfortable with plenty of magazines and water, and even letting me borrow her personal phone charger when my phone was dying! Will most definitely be back! If you decide to go here, ask for Rayna! You won't be disappointed :) read more

I've been using Nicki for more than 5 years as the person to cut my hair. She's consistent with her style and quality and I've never had a problem! She always finds the time to fit me into her schedule. Nicki's funny, kind, conscientious and pays attention to detail, what more could you ask for from a stylist? SHE'S GOOD! read more

I went to Studio V yesterday for a haircut and partial highlight. Lilia did an amazing job for both services!!!!!! She was very experienced, highly professional, and very detail oriented when cutting and coloring my hair. I was particularly impressed because I didn't describe very clearly what style I wanted exactly, but Lilia was able to get what I meant by the little information I gave. That convinced me that she must be very experienced, and she is, indeed! I used to go to places that are way pricier but this time I spent a fairer price with a better result! read more

BEST SALON EVER!!! Everyone there is AMAZING!! Regina is exceptional above ALL I highly recommend this place 5 stars across the board!!!!! Thank you so much Regina!!! read more

Walked by the salon and saw they had walk ins available so decided to see if I could get a hair cut, it was the evening time so the next available was the next morning which worked out perfectly. Lilia was my stylist and the reason I'm writing this review so she can get a lot of clients and can stay in this salon! She was very knowledgeable and up to date with techniques, I love my long layered hair cut! she mentioned she does hair color and that's her forte for anyone looking for color. I'm pretty picky about who I go to to get my hair done at, and with Lilia I have no regrets. Thank you for taking care of me read more

Nikki did an exceptional job on my hair. I have hairstylists in my family and I have used enough hair dressers to tell you that she gets hair. The second my hair was washed after highlights and a toner, it was clear this lady is a color expert! At least to me. She is passionate, personable, sincere, and certainly professional. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Nikki is amazing. I wanted to go back to platinum blonde after being a cool-blonde for a while (miscommunication from my last hair dresser) and knew it was going to be a lot of work since I have very thick hair. I showed a picture to Nikki and she gave me the exact color I asked for. She is so kind and hard working, definitely go here for a good hair experience!!! :) read more

Excellent products, great service. Regina does a wonderful job on color and uses organic, non-alergic hair color products that are great for people with sesitive skin and who can't use conventional hair color. It's nice to know there's an alternative. Their La Jolla and Mira Mesa salons are both modern and very people friendly. I would recommend them to everyone. read more

Heidi is amazing. I just relocated here from Hawaii and have to get my grey hair colored about every month. She was able to not only perfectly match my color from my previous stylist on our first visit, she corrected some of the root coloring and improved it with highlights ( not easy because my hair easily turns brassy). She was also able to give me a haircut that upgraded my "Island look" and I am able to walk out the door looking well groomed and professional with minimal styling. She was also able to recommend great products to use on my hair that make it work. A true master stylist! read more

Anna Maria did balayage on me. It is my first attempt at going darker. I have always gotten highlights and was ready for a change. She did an amazing job and I will be returning in the future for sure! read more

Got my hair colored by Heidi & she did an incredible job. I had been so frustrated about getting color done in the past at other places only for my hair to look awful in a week or 2 when my grays started showing. Heidi advised me to not only get more highlights but to get a different tone that blended with my grays better and my skin tone. It looked so good how she did it & I've gotten so many compliments. She really is an expert with hair color. Thank you! read more

I love this salon! Convenient UTC location, professional services, easy parking. Heidi Ventura is an excellent master stylist who provides a thorough consultation before any service. Heidi's color services, cuts, straightening treatments, and blow outs are all fantastic. She does an excellent job, and I've always been very happy with my services. I especially appreciate the ammonia free and PPD free hair color and the Cezanne formaldehyde free smoothing treatment. She also does excellent, contemporary men's cuts. My son had his hair cut before his last theatre performance and was very happy with the results. Pedicure and manicure services are great, too. read more

Such a great experience. The service here was beyond amazing, I will definitely be back. Regina did a great job on my hair.

All the hairstylists are gorgeous, friendly & attentive ! I recently got my hair done by Regina. She did an amazing cut, gave my hair lots of body and life :) I also had my hair colored and highlighted. It is exactly what i asked for & imagined ! Another plus - The products are vegan ;) So many great things to say about this place & the stylists. I will never stop going to Regina :) read more

Love my blowouts with Nikki. She does a great job at great prices. Highly recommended and I follow her wherever she goes.

I came to this salon from a purchase through Living Social for a Brazilian Blowout. I paid $100 for services through Nikki. When I got to the appointment I found out that she did not use the Brazilian Blowout product. After trying other products, Brazilian Blowout is the only one that works for my hair. I specifically only looked for offers naming Brazilian Blowout. So her offer was a misrepresentation of her services. She told me she could do it using a product I never heard of and I never saw the actual bottle or name of what she used. My hair looked fine after the treatment but by the second hair washing, there was no product on my hair. I called Nikki and told her I needed to get something done because I paid for a Brazilian Blowout and did not get what I paid for. She gave me an appointment for 2 weeks later to 'fix' the problem and then did not show up for that appointment. Moral of the story...don't go here if you want a REAL Brazilian Blowout that works. read more
