    I kept the braids in for a little over two weeks. I like them a little messier so I pulled out some hair on the sides
    Carli S.

    Tema did two feed in braids on me awhile back, I just forgot to leave a review.. she did a great job, I loved them! And they stayed in for a long time. The salon is nice and has convenient parking right out front. The price isn't too bad either. Highly recommend!

    This is how the back of my hair looks after 6 days of getting my twists done.
    Imani G.

    I'm going to have to give the salon a one star review. Now I originally was going to cancel my appointment because I still had old braids in. Tema said that she would take down the braids, for 60 dollars extra for what I was paying for to get done. I got Senegalese twists. The twists by themselves were 180 so including the 60, it was total 240. The take down process, washing my hair and detangling all took 2 hours. Not bad. I arrived at the stop at 10:45 she started twisting at about 12:45-1pm. I did not get home until 2 AM. I sat in the chair for 12+ hours. & that's not what I'm complaining about.. Less than a week later, I have my whole bottom row of twists gone because they came out, I have two to three twists gone in the front because they came out. I have quite a few twists that are loose in my head and are on the verge of slipping out. I asked tema for at least a refund of less than half of what I payed, which was 100 bucks. She instead tried to get me to come back in and have my hair fixed, but I'm in the middle of moving so I don't have the time to sit for another set of hours at a time to have my hair fixed. We've gone in circles in the convo about getting my money back, and it's proved to be futile. So not only was the quality of my hair being done was bad, but I can't even get a partial of my money back. Wouldn't recommend for hair..

    Tema is my favorite hair stylist and lashes technician! Her salon is the best in San Diego, because it's a one stop shop!

    Tema is my favorite hair stylist and lashes technician! This is the best salon in San Diego, because it's a one stop shop! She literally does EVERYTHING for hair, skin and body as she and is a licensed esthetician. She is VERY versatile and creative with different hairstyles and ideas. She has an awesome attitude and strives to make her clients happy. Ask her any questions or do a consultation because she is very knowledgeable and happy to help. She also gives great advice for how to care for your hair afterwards, so you can maintain it on your own. Because she takes her craft very seriously and professionally so this won't be a rushed job. She is a perfectionist so set time aside to get your hair did to your heart's delight! But the best part is the style will last for a long time to come. Not only does Tema do hair treatments like keratin and eyelashes extensions, she is also an esthetician so she also and does facials, micro abrasions, and body wraps. She literally does it all and I will never go anywhere else. First time customers get 20% and there are additional discounts for military and students, so take advantage of getting a good deal for a quality long lasting job.

    Tema does amazing eyelash extensions! I have had eyelash extensions for over 4 yrs and have been to many eyelash extension artists. She is meticulous and makes it look very natural (look I was going for.) She used C curl, 11 in length. I am definitely coming back here again!

    My daughter had a terrible mess of tangles in her beautiful, naturally curly hair. To the point where a dreadlocked knot had formed. The only option seemed to be to cut it out and lose the length of hair my daughter is so proud of. However, Tema agreed to see us on a day her shop was closed. (Extremely generous) Upon walking in for the first time we couldn't help but feel cozy and welcomed. As if you were at your own home. She immediately assessed the condition and began to perform magic on this mass of angry tangles. Amazingly she brought my little girl's hair back to life and threw in conditioning and clipped her split ends. My daughter and I are extremely satisfied with the results. Thank you Tema for your professionalism and expertise. It's plainly obvious that you enjoy your craft. I highly recommend this establishment above all others.

    Decided to treat my mother to getting her hair done for her birthday. Was referred to Tema from a friend. Tema did a great job doing my mothers braids. She gripped all of them hairs hunny. Thank you Tema!!!!

    Thank you Tema

    The process takes some time, but Daire gave me verbal time markers to let me know how much time was left of the process.

    I was having a lot of pain in my left shoulder so made an appointment to get an hour massage. My…read moremassage therapist asked where I felt I needed attention so I explained my left shoulder was bothering me. She did a good job except she really didn't do much for my shoulder. Not sure if she was worried she would hurt me or if she had the wrong shoulder. Besides not really doing much for my hurt shoulder she did a good job. They have lots of products for purchase

    I'm a ClassPass client nearing my monthly renewal, and this experience made my decision for me…read more Due to a death in my immediate family, I had to leave the state unexpectedly. Rather than lose 40 credits (~$80), I booked a facial for my wife. Yes, ClassPass credits are typically non-transferable--but this was an obvious situation where a little basic human judgment should have applied. My wife showed up, explained everything, and was turned away--despite the appointment being on their books. They refused the service and still kept the credits. No service rendered, no flexibility offered, no attempt to do the right thing. That tells me everything I need to know. This is a business that values squeezing $80 out of a customer over showing even minimal decency. Short-sighted, tone-deaf, and not the kind of people I'll ever do business with again. Enjoy the $80. Karma has a way of keeping score. Follow-Up: I received a response from the owner attempting to justify what happened, but it completely missed the facts. This wasn't a case of someone trying to misuse credentials in a typical sense--it was a one-on-one appointment that was already booked, paid for with credits, and ultimately went unused. My wife showed up, explained the situation clearly, and was still turned away. No service was provided, yet the credits were kept. Comparing this to standard "no sharing accounts" policies is a weak and inaccurate analogy. This situation called for basic judgment and a small amount of flexibility--neither of which was shown. The owner's response only reinforces my original impression: this business is more focused on rigid policies and protecting a minor dollar amount than on treating people reasonably, even under exceptional circumstances. That tells me everything I need to know

She took the time to really explain everything to a newbie like me and was super invested in giving my skin personalized TLC. I learned a lot of things from her during the facial and after, like that I should be using sunscreen every day even though I don't see any effects now! She's also super sweet and gifted me with some of her products to try for myself. It's been two days since I've had them and so far I am LOVING how natural yes nourishing her toner and facial oil is. I am definitely going to go back to her for more facials--I can't express in better words how great her service is and how knowledgable of an esthetician she is.

    Lea has such a talent with skincare products. Her lip butters have been my favorite for years now…read moreand a single stick definitely goes such a long way. Just picked up her facial oil (because my mom raves about it) and her spf 30 moisturizer and I have to say this is the BEST mineral sunblock I've ever used. I've tried ones by Pacifica, blue lizard, and sun bum's zinc and clear zinc-all of which left me pretty used to just living with white streaks (I have fair-medium Asian skin that's runs dry with some oily spots in the summer for anyone who wants to try it) but her formulation is an absolute god send. I have to say, I'm fully convinced this is my new forever sun screen.
