Emma is my hair girl! I went in today and wanted to change back to a color I had been yearssssss earlier, long before she started. In the true team work, that makes this salon so fab., Ashlee called my former colorist and got the color! I was so amazed. The return to color was a surprise for my wife, who loved it!! I could not be happier to call Sunshine Salon and Spa my home salon. I have also had great visits with Ashlee and Haleigh. If you need color, cut, style,manis pedis or a facial, this is the spot to go. Super nice, authentic and kind staff. read more

I've been looking for the right salon for years. I've gone from stylist to stylist, always leaving with that fake nod and smile we all do when we don't really like our hair. Finally, I found the right place with Hannah. She's incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind, and communicative throughout the whole appointment. I absolutely LOVE the results. She cut my hair while still keeping the length, and my color turned out perfect. Love, love, love! read more

Fantastic Facial with Julia! She is the BEST! Rejuvenating and Relaxing hour. I have already booked my return appointment!!!

If you want a stylist who actually listens and collaborates with you, go see Emily! She is incredibly sweet and gave me one of the best haircuts I've had in a long time. She really goes above and beyond to make sure you're happy with the results. I'll definitely be back! I walked out feeling refreshed and so much like myself. If you're looking for someone who is as sweet as she is talented, I can't recommend her enough! Thanks! Nicole read more

I liked the salon and felt like it was more private vs. other salons where you have to hear other people's conversations. There is a lot of parking in the back. The shampoo bar is charming and intimate, as well. The only thing is recommended changing is adding a door or curtain to the coloring room so clients can't see inside when they are getting their hair washed. Brandy did a fantastic job with my highlights and lowlights. My hair was in a fragile state, with immensely grown out roots, and she was cautious to protect my hair from further damage. Brandy did such an excellent job with my highlights and low lights. She also toned my hair, and it didn't turn too ashy like previous stylists I've been too. She gave me a fantastic head massage when she was washing my hair; I'm addicted! Loved it. read more

Brandy is a fairy hair-ANGEL! After moving to San Diego and finding it difficult to come across the perfect stylist, I came across Brandy. I loved her work so much that even when she decided to move on to a better work-place, (and myself having lost her business card) I managed to track her down as I knew I needed her to do my hair for my wedding day. A year later she gave me my dream look! Not only was my wedding hair perfect, but she also made sure it would keep my wedding veil in place (HUGE PLUS)! Another year later and she took my virgin hair and transformed it into the San Diego warmth that I needed. My only regret now is moving away to another state and not dragging her along with me!! Perfect cuts, perfect color, perfect styling, and an overall quality person. read more

BEWARE: OF Sunshine Hair Salon POWAY DO NOT GO TO THEM. I had an appointment scheduled for highlights and a cut. I was 10 minutes late. (In Traffic & I called to let them know) when I got there Melissa was rude. She said she had an appointment at 5 pm which it was 2 pm and said; "can we skip the cut or do an impartial highlight instead of a full?" I agreed. She then said; "Let's just reschedule. I don't have the time and I am running behind". Why didn't Melissa just call me? I wasted my time going down there. First Impressions are everything. I will never go back there. do not go there!!! read more

Update: Changing my review from 1 to 3 stars. The owner reached out to me and not only apologized, but offered me a few different options to make it right. Great customer service, just pick a different stylist. I went here based on the fantastic reviews. I had a very different experience and will not be back. Brandy was my stylist. While she is super sweet, she had no idea what she is doing. We discussed a partial balayage, just 1 tone lighter than the rest of my hair, to give it dimension. We also said that we would cut some longer layers. She showed me pictures of how she would do it and I liked it. When my hair was dried, my top looked almost blonde. She said it was the light. When I came home, it was still blonde, but the rest of my hair is a very dark brown. It also looked nothing like a balayage, but rather terribly done highlights. Some strains were almost an inch thick, whereas others were super thin. She started straight at my roots, and it just didn't blend in at all. I called her and asked for a correction. I came back the next day and told her to just do all of my hair in one color. When I was finished, it was still obviously lighter than the rest. I had an appointment to get to and was honestly not willing to color my hair a third time in 2 days. When I washed my hair at home and straightened it, it also became obvious that the cute is awful as well. Not only do I have 2 toned hair, but it's also separated bu chunky layers that are super uneven. I cannot even express how frustrated I am. It looks like I have extensions. Well, to voice my frustration, I wrote the owner, since she is also a member of my neighborhood group. I never heard back from her, and it's been a month. So this, I am leaving this review. Pictures attached, so you can see for yourself. This is after the color was corrected (remember I said I want the same color for all of my hair.... read more

A long overdo review! I see Jennae every couple of months for haircuts and I'm so happy to have found her since moving to the area. I've been lucky enough to have had a couple of really good hairdressers in the past, so I have high standards! After about a year and a half trying different places, I was so thankful find Jennae! She's absolutely wonderful! Even when I couldn't get in with her for a quick wash, the salon was super accommodating for me. They really are the best and I am just so so thankful! read more

It's taken me a long time to decide if I wanted to post a review or not but after the time and money it's taken to just get my hair back to where I started, I feel like it finally warrants a review. I had my hair done at the end of November by a stylist at Sunshine. It turned out to be an absolute nightmare. I will attach photos of my wishpic, my before and my after. I was so unhappy so I reached out to the stylist the very next morning to please help me fix it as my baby shower was that coming weekend. (I left the night before around 6pm so I couldn't fully see the color) She sincerely apologized and acknowledged via messages that my hair was absolutely not blended and didn't look as I requested. She told me to get clarifying shampoo and try to get as much as the color out myself in the few days before my appointment to "fix" it. Flash forward to a few days later when she attempted to redeem the hair - in front of a coworker or her boss (unsure) she mentioned that I had "changed my mind and decided I didn't like the color". Not the case at all. It was a disaster. Not sure if she tried to say that to cover her own behind or what but anyway... She did something with trying to strip the color out. It didn't even touch the hideously dark and unblended hair but she sent me on my way as she said my hair couldn't take trying to highlight over what she had just done. As I bit my tongue and tried not to freak out/cry, she had the nerve to say "well, you're pregnant so it was time for something new!" Not appropriate, funny, nor professional. Never offered any sort of refund for the almost $300 I spent. Never apologized any further in person. Nothing. Here I am 6 weeks later, almost $500 more in the hole with two sessions from a different salon who has finally gotten my hair back to WHERE I STARTED. I wish for in the future this stylist to please, if it's something that they cannot accomplish, to be up front with the client from the get go. read more

I've been searching for many years for a great hairstylist and I found my girl Melissa she is the best I've ever found. She knows exactly what I want without me even saying anything I love the way she knows her colors and does the best highlights I ever had. She is very sweet and kind fun to chat with while getting your hair done she gives my head a deep massage while shampooing and conditioning my hair. I love the way she cuts and styles my hair I feel like a princess when I am all done. I just love everything about her so if your searching for a talented hairdresser look no further call her right away and you will see everything I'm saying is true. Oh I also just moved four hours from her and I will be making that four hour drive that's just how good she is. Tell her you read my review my name is Alisia read more

Just had a wonderful experience with Ashley. She is warm, a great listener and a good hairdresser. Would highly recommend

Brandy is amazing. She nails it every time I ask for something different. She a great colorist! I have little girls who complement me on the color of my hair. This is a full service salon with friendly people and amazing services! read more

Jess is amazing! I came to her with a mishap from another salon and she helped me get to where I wanted to be. She's personable, listens to exactly what I want (while talking me through what to expect) and her work speaks for itself. I've never had my hair done this beautiful!!! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Sarah for massage! She's the first person I've found who actually cares what areas are bugging me. Her room is cute, comfortable & relaxing. Prices are reasonable and the hot stone upgrade is well worth the price. I've been coming for several months now and Sarah always treats me right! read more

I have never been to a salon before and I just got my hair cut here by Tasmyn and I am SO HAPPY with how everything went and how my hair came out! My hair was almost down to my waist and I got it cut to just below my collar bone so it was pretty dramatic for me and I was nervous, but Tasmyn went nice and slow and kept checking with how the length was till we got to the shortness I desired and I've never felt happier with a cut! The salon itself is so pretty, I was greeted when I went in and offered coffee or tea while I waited, everyone was so friendly and made me feel warm! Highly recommend!! read more

If I could give one EXTRA star I would! Just had a massage with Sarah (one of many) and she is AMAZING. She really cares for what areas are bothering you and focuses on what YOU want. Highly recommend the 90 minute massage and if it is being offered, the seasonal foot scrub is to die for! read more

Brandy is amazing. Sweet and kind and a fantastic stylist. Will be updating this review with photos next time because I completely forgot this time around. She is great with my hair and always leaves it feeling so healthy and brand new. Brandy has a long term client in me. read more

Nicole! I'm not saying that people with other colors of hair don't know a good hair stylist, but when you are a bleached blonde you have higher standers when it comes to your color. When I came into this salon 4? 5? years ago I was box bleaching my hair. I was awful. I was so brassy I looked like a 80's bed post. Yeah, I told you it was bad. I simply asked from someone good with blondes. Alicia made me an appointment with Nicole and the rest is history. She is amazing with her work. I trust her so much that I just let her go to town with my hair. "Just keep it light, keep it long, and have fun." She does and it always comes out AMAZING! Not to brag or anything but I have the best hair out of anyone I know, and its all thanks to Nicole. read more

Brandy is amazing!! My color/highlights came out perfect, as usual. Only salon I trust work my hair.

I've found my hairstylist! Tasymn was great. She really listened to what I envisioned and wanted for my crazy curly hair and achieved just that. I have found that not a lot of people can work their way around my thick curly hair, but she did a wonderful job while being very friendly and letting me relax during my stay. I've received tons of compliments since my cut. Thank you Tasmyn! read more

Rachel Streeter is pretty rad. Coming fresh off the $5 "lawnmower" cut from fantastic sams, I was more than willing to part with $30 bucks for someone to treat these fiery red locks with the love they deserve. Totally recommend her. The salon is pretty cool too. I don't feel like a total douche when going to "a salon" like I think I would elsewhere. Anyhow, man up and call the place. Ask for Rachel. Then tell her her mermaid tattoo makes you transcend to a magical land of pirates and sea monsters, she'll hook you up with some free candy! Bonus! read more
