    1st things 1st...if you have curly hair Daisy is the stylist you didn't know you needed. I found her after 2 failed Deva Cuts. The thought of yet someone else cutting my hair was terrifying. But she put me at ease after we talked and shared my previous experiences. As the appointment went on I was feeling more at ease and by the end I was in love and knew she would be the one to bless this hair and care for my curls. I learned so much during that first visit. I took mental notes of all her tips and tricks. Daisy has a great personality. Her studio is clean and gorgeous and most importantly to me she listens to your concerns and vision for your hair. I've referred several friends and they have also fallen in love w her. I'm a customer for the long haul. Every time I leave the studio I feel like Superwoman. You can't tell me nothing and that's the truth.

    My second curly cut with Daisy!!

    If you have curly hair, Daisy is a curl expert! I just had my second curly cut on 4/4/18 and it's the second time that she has brought life to my curls. They seriously POP!! Not only that, she is patient and LISTENS to her clients. I know that when I sit down in her chair that I'm in good hands. She will do everything she can to make sure I leave the salon satisfied!! She recently moved into her own private salon and the ambience is elegant and fresh. She is all about making her clients' experience special. Clients can set the mood by picking the music they want to listen to and she also offers water, coffee, or even wine during your salon time. I've entrusted her with my daughter's hair (who is very particular about who she lets touch her hair based on negative past experiences) as well as one of my friends and they couldn't be happier! I highly recommend her.

    Day 2 results!

    Do you have curly hair? Do you have wavy hair or coils? If yes, and live or visit San Diego, you HAVE to go to The Daze Studio! I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Vanessa on a Sunday afternoon and she took my hair from limp, lifeless, and practically not curly and made magic happen! My hair has volume, definition, shine...I can actually run my fingers through my hair and nothing gets damaged! My hair is soft and playful and is only getting better as the days progress! For someone who has always been a curly girl, I thought I knew it all but Vanessa spent HOURS with me and taught me so much about my hair and products and even some tricks!! She did not up sell me or make me feel like a stranger- in fact it felt like we have known each other for years even though we just met!! Please go and see Vanessa or Daze when you can get an appointment. You will NOT be disappointed.

    Super excited for my 1st Deva Cut.  Thank you Daisy for a wonderful experience.  I'll be back.

    So I showed up not knowing what to expect for my 1st Deva cut. Daisy did a great job explaining everything and make sure I was comfortable with the whole process. She took the time to explain things and answer my ton of questions. I left loving my new look and confident I'll be able to maintain it.

    Daisy is the BEST! I was so nervous to have my first dry curly cut by her but i am having NO regrets. Looks like i have my new hairdresser!

    Absolutely loved my cut! I had a Deva cut done in Oct in Anaheim where I live and I was seriously disappointed, I almost cried myself to sleep. Daisy brought my transitioning hair to life. I didn't know the curl potential my hair had until Daisy got her hand on it. Absolutely recommend her to anyone with curls or anyone transitioning. The drive from Anaheim to San Diego was worth it, she is amazing at what she does!

    Right after my 2nd cut + Olaplex treatment at The Daze Studio

    Just had my second Deva Cut with Daisy and each time my shape and volume are better and better! If you can, get the Olaplex treatment, it makes a huge difference. I've only been doing CGM since 1/3/19 but the cuts and major curly tips from Daisy have been incredible... I learn so much each visit and look forward to coming back every 3 mos. She's a wiz!

    Before hair. Kinda flat, dry ends, didn't really shape my face...

    Best experience I have ever had at a salon! I love my hair. The salon is clean and professional. This was my first curly haircut at Daze Studio. When I went in we discussed what I wanted, how it would look and general up keep. It was refreshing having someone who really understood curly hair and any concerns I had about upkeep and maintenance. I also got a moisture treatment. My overall experience was amazing. The appointments are not rushed and there is some overlap with other clients due to dry time, styling, before and after shots etc. there is also an assistant there to keep things moving along such as washing, product application, and drying. I always felt like a priority and everyone in there was great. They also offer tea and snacks while you are drying or sitting. I am happy with my hair it's so much healthier and has a ton of body and I'm happy that I found a salon I will be happy to visit again thanks Daze!

    Before

    I have never in my life had a hairstyle type of cut, I've only had my hair trimmed or cut a few inches or added some long layers...I never thought I could actually have a hairstyle with my hair! its always just been long and parted down the middle or to either side. I started researching devacurl products and came across the devacut which lead to me to Daisy! after seeing before and after pics and reading reviews I set my alarm for April 5 at 655pm so I could be one of the first to schedule an appointment for May! I am beyond happy I did!!! Daisy really knows her stuff ! I told her I wanted Sassy, Sophisticated, and a lot of volume...she definitely delivered! I cannot believe how many compliments I have received and I am just so thrilled with the cut! Daisy and her assistant gave me a lot of tips and tricks that really work! I LOVE my hair!!! Thank you Daisy!!!!

    Do you cut children's curly hair?

    We offer children’s services for ages 7+

    How long does the curl style itself last? Like after a few self-washes at home over the course of a few weeks before ones next appointment?

    We recommend 3 months between cuts to maintain optimum health of your curls. Some client have commented that they can go 4-5 months between cuts and still have a nice shape because of the cutting technique that we use.

    Has anyone had any color experiences with Daisy? Her reviews for her cuts are amazing, but color is my priority, then my cut. Anyone have an experience they care to share. Would greatly appreciate it! Thank you.

    I have! I had pintura highlights done on my curls and I loved it. My curls did not suffer and I'm hoping get the highlights done again later this year.

Since I had box dye in my hair, he informed me it would be an extra $70 for a color correction. After getting price estimates from other salons, this seemed like a decent price for my budget. I did my research and looked over his website, Yelp reviews, etc. and the photos impressed me and led me to believe he would produce the balayage I wanted. I didn't mind the price for everything I was getting. I sent David photos of how I wanted my hair a few months before I scheduled the appointment. I have been saving up money and planning this treatment for five months which is perhaps why I'm so upset about the original results from my first appointment. When I walked in he briefly welcomed me and then immediately asked me what I wanted done. Since I've been planning this treatment for so long I had a Pinterest album of similar balayages (not to mention he already had the photo in our thread). He took one glance and got started which made me nervous but I trusted him as a professional. Throughout the treatment there was no communication regarding color, length cut, or anything like that. We sat in silence for 80% of my 3 hr. appointment. We made small talk and I asked him about after care, what he was putting in my hair, etc. He curled my hair and when I turned around and saw my hair for the first time I noticed it was WAY lighter than I expected, but I did like it. I left the salon happy. But I never curl my hair so when I saw it natural (wavy/straight), I could see how messy and amateur it looked. There were chunks reaching up to my roots and he basically dyed the bottom half of my hair a rainbow of blonde colors. NOT a balayage. I left a short review on the website and he text me shortly after with a long reply. I sent him photos of how my hair looked and the photo I originally sent him of what I wanted. He offered to fix it for free, so I went back in. Before my appointment he text me to confirm and said "Would be great if you could take down your review," but I'm glad I waited until after the second appointment to review him again. This time the communication was better, however now that a day has passed I see that my hair is still not where I want it to be since he bleached the whole bottom half and effectively made it difficult to achieve a balayage with just toner. I do understand that I did tell David I liked my hair in the salon because at that point I was fed up and wouldn't bother to have him fix it since he already comped this appointment and spent his time fixing it. Overall it looks much better now and is healthy after I cut 4 inches off (which I did to get rid of the dead bleached hair), but I am still going to get it fixed by another hair dresser. Not only that but I asked him for long layers in my hair cut but my hair is all one length. At the end of the day, if you go to David, just make sure you are clear about what you want because otherwise from what I can tell in other reviews he is a good hairdresser.

During the consultation, she told me that my blonde highlights got darker because of "mineral buildups" in my hair from hard water, and she recommended to do a "CPR treatment" following by applying a toner to bring back the blond color (which highlights got darker and more yellow over time). She said that this treatment plan would make my highlights lighter and blonder again. I made the actual appointment, when the proposed treatment was done. After 30 minutes of sitting under the heat with the treatment applied, she washed out the "CPR treatment" 3 times!!!, scrubbing my scalp and later she told me (when I had the skin reaction) that she used a PH 9 shampoo, which is apparently (I'm reading now about it) harsh, and is disruptive to the hair and scalp. Then, she applied the toner, then a leave-in conditioner, that needed to be washed out due to some skin reaction. When she was working on washing it out, she scrubbed my scalp so viguorusly, that I screamed from pain to stop her doing it so harshly. Later in the afternoon, I started to feel an inflammatory type of severe pain on the back of my scalp. It got worse since yesterday and I don't know what really happened to my scalp, skin, tissue, or nerve, but whatever injury happened, it is extremely painful. Regarding the result of the treatment, nothing that promised was achieved, my hair feels like it got a little darker and making my highlights blonder didn't happen. Kayla told me after drying my hair that she was surprised that her treatment plan didn't work on my hair. What is much worse than not achieving the promised result is the severe pain on the back of my scalp.
