Hair by Jacky
Sunny L.

After a year of searching for the right hair stylist in San Diego, I found Jacky and I have been seeing her for a year now. She has saved me from hair disasters. This visit came upon because of a slight moment of insanity when I thought I could cut my own hair with kitchen scissors. Don't judge, we all have those moments. Jacky knows I like to keep my hair short/asymetrical/femine and she does it perfectly. She even gave me the most perfect of purple hues while making my hair look and feel healthier than before. That wasn't the best part of the visit. This little Totem Salon was a great place to hang out. The conversation flowed between hair dressers and clients and we had a great time amongst a variety of topics. This made the 3 hours I was there fly by. If you want great hair and want to hang with some fun gals, go to Totem!

Jacky is amazing!!! Had her chop of 18 inches to donate it, and was a little nervous to go short again. But my hair looks awesome!!!

I came across Totem Salon through a groupon deal. I texted Jacky one of the hairstylists there and she booked an appointment for me the next day. When I got there she offered me something to drink. I came for a haircut, wash, style and condition. The products she used are paraben and cruelty free. I really liked how attentive to detail she was. I loved how healthy and shiny my hair looked. The ambient was very calm and relaxing. I enjoyed the music playing in the background and the rustic, natural theme going on. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a professional hairstylist.

Jacky is amazing! I have had such a hard time finding a stylist and after one visit I'm sold. I'm really picky and she is the best!

Lindsay was absolutely amazing. I went in for a balayage and hair cut and she gave me exactly what…read moreI was wanting. She talked me through each step of the process made sure I was comfortable throughout the appointment. Definitely will be going back to her.

I've been going to my hairstylist for over a year and she is truly incredible. If this review were…read moreabout her, it would be five stars every time. Unfortunately, it's about the salon owner, whose behavior is consistently rude, unprofessional, and honestly embarrassing for someone running a business. From my very first appointment, she set the tone. I walked in with a Starbucks for myself and my stylist... completely unaware the salon had a café (which was closed, by the way). Instead of a normal greeting or a simple "Just so you know, we have coffee here," she loudly blurted out, "Who brings Starbucks here?" as if I had just broken a house rule. Not exactly the welcoming vibe you expect when you're coming in to spend money. Her attitude has been the same every visit since: dirty looks, zero acknowledgment unless you're her direct client, and an overall negative energy that shifts the whole room the second she walks in. And it's not just me. My best friend and my mom have both gone to the same stylist and experienced the exact same treatment from the owner. The same snarky comments, the same judgmental looks, the same cold, uninviting demeanor. So it's clearly a pattern, not a one-off. One moment that really stuck with me: it was just me, my stylist, and the owner in the salon. My stylist stepped into another room, so I raised my voice slightly to make sure she could hear me. The salon was empty. Yet I overheard the owner mutter, "Why is your client so loud? She's in a salon." Instead of speaking to anyone directly or respectfully, she chose to insult a paying client behind their back. Completely uncalled for and extremely unprofessional. Even if YOU the paying client says hi to her she looks you up and down and gives a cold hi back. At this point, the only reason I've ever tolerated stepping foot into this salon is because of my hairstylist. Who deserves better, and so do her clients. If you value professionalism, respect, and a welcoming environment, I'd strongly recommend booking with these amazing stylists anywhere else if they offer services at another location. The talent here is great. The owner is the problem.
