I've been a regular customer at Young Attitudes for several years now and always find the stylists very professional, the receptionist welcoming, and the atmosphere laid back and cheerful. The salon offers the full slate of Aveda products, which I really like, and now Eufora (I'm admittedly less of a fan of the line); employees are helpful in assisting clients select products without being overly-pushy. I now see Olivia to cut and style my hair, and she is terrific, with a great knack for asking questions, getting a sense from my general comments of what I'm going for, and styling my hair to help me look my best. read more

I sent the below message a few days ago to the salon and no response was given. I had an apt for last Friday and they cancelled on me literally hours before my apt. I was flexible though and went for another stylist and later time. I really regret that now as I am really unhappy with my cut and style. Pam was my stylist and she didn't talk much about my hair. She didn't ask me how I wanted it styled at the end, and did not give me the cut I asked for. The communication was very poor and because of that I was left with not what I wanted and unhappy with the results. I understand things come up, but I feel I was a little pressured into last minute changing the time and stylist. I never have a negative experience here and my mother and I have been coming here for decades. I am just not happy with the cut or service. I tried talking more about my hair so we could get on the same page, and I am use to the stylist giving tips or asking more about my hair. We talked about short layers framing my face that stick out of the pony tail as well which is what I asked for, but that wasn't done either. I feel bad saying any of this as I have literally never been unhappy with my cut from any stylist at this salon. Im normally very relaxed as well, more attention is usually given to the shampoo and condition and maybe I am remembering incorrectly but a short scalp massage or something is given as well. read more

I've been going to Pam for over two years now, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair! I originally met her at Hairspray Salon, and after a year, I followed her to Young Attitudes Salon because her work is just that good. She does my extensions, root touch-ups, and trims, and every time, she listens to exactly what I want and makes me feel absolutely beautiful. Pam is a true professional who knows how to bring out the best in my hair. At my last appointment, I walked out of the salon feeling great, and the owner herself stopped me to compliment how shiny and gorgeous my hair looked! That's all thanks to Pam's expertise. If you're looking for a stylist who genuinely cares, listens, and delivers amazing results, she's the one to see! read more

This review has nothing to do with the person who cuts and colors my hair. She is amazing. Very detail oriented and very kind. She does a great job. It's the salon. I have been coming here for 6 years. I come every 5 - 6 weeks. In a year, that's about 9-10 times a year. My serivce went from $130 to $220, so that's around $2,000 a year I pay them. Again, I love the person who works on my hair. Out of the 6 years, I have only rescheduled my appointment 2 or 3 times. I always go. I make arrangements to get out of work to go, I cancel other plans when I get the reminder text, I GO when the appointment is. However, once I woke up with a migraine. My injection wasn't working so I went to urgent care and then to ER. My appointment was in the evening, so when I woke up with a headache, I called to reschedule. The other time a family member had a stroke and the family was all going to the hospital. BOTH times when I called to reschedule after explaining what happened, I was given a lecture about a 48 hour cancellation policy and how they were going to have to charge me since it wasn't over 48 hours. But, they were going to waive it this time. I don't have 48 hour notice when I'm going to wake up with a migraine. I don't have 48 hour notice when a family member is having a stroke or heart attack needing 5 stents. I have called within 30 hours notice, but they assured me the policy is 48 hours. I understand you're trying to keep the space filled, not pay for when a person has down time. I work for a service business, I understand when people no show or cancel. I get it. But this lecture just seems really too much especially when I am calling because something is going on. So the last time I got the lecture I just said I think I'm going to find somewhere else because god forbid there is some other last minute emergency and I have to reschedule I'm actually afraid to call, I want to avoid it because it's so unpleasant to get the stern nasty lecture from the front desk. I hate the idea of having to leave the person who does an EXCELLENT job on my hair because of this bullcrap but I guess I have to because this bullcrap feels worse. I'm really sorry that Young Attitudes decided to take this approach. It's always been such a pleasant and wonderful salon. But this makes going there feel untenable. read more

Rose did an amazing job on my highlights!! I loved how she really put her time and effort into my hair and made sure I was happy!! She's the best! read more

Highly recommend this salon and hair dresser, Heather ! I used to go to her at another salon and was happy with the results of my hair that I had to follow her at this new location and I'm so glad I did. Location: Easy to find in the heart of La Jolla near I-5. There is plenty of parking at the shopping strip and near other businesses like Whole Foods, Sephora, and CVS. It's a one-stop shop location which is super convenient! The salon is cute, modern, and inviting. There is a small waiting area and was well-organized and clean. Customer service: I was greeted upon arrival and offered a complimentary refreshment which was nice. The ladies here seemed very friendly, professional, and approachable. I instantly got good vibes! You can easily book online and I got a haircut from Heather. I showed her inspo-photos of a layered cut I wanted and she delivered. She cut an inch off, but trimmed all the dead ends. My hair looked so much healthier and had more shape and volume from the layers. I was in dire need of a change and I appreciated her knowledge and hair-care tips to help maintain my fab look. She also gives the best hair massages!! I can literally doze off in that sink. LOL! Pricing is also reasonable for the quality you get. Overall, I am fully satisfied with my experience and will return again! Thanks Heather and the "Young Attitudes" team for the outstanding customer service! See you again soon! read more

Rose is wonderful just like every single artist here i always love the service and people working here! great vibe

Called them on a Friday morning and managed to score a hair cut appointment that same day! After being greeted, I was offered tea or water, which was nice. I arrived early, so I did have to wait a bit in the waiting area, but I was comfortable. I wish I could remember the name of the lady who cut my hair, but she was awesome and really knowledgable on both the products she was using on me and about hair in general. I just needed my hair to be trimmed because of all the split ends and dry, dead ends, and I needed a refresh on the shape. The cut, blow dry, and shampoo cost an even $100 (not including tip). read more

Carly is the best! She literally made me look 10 years younger and my coworkers could tell what I had done. I had to show before and after photos to prove my gray blending. Miracle worker extraordinaire! read more

The vibe was great and the hair stylists were very friendly. The cut looked fine when they were done, probably because it was still damp. But as soon as I got home I realized how uneven the cut was. I had to trim the rest myself and some parts were just so bad I couldn't even it out read more

I have seen Carly at Young Attitude for nearly 15 years now. My bridal party even got their hair and makeup done at the salon. I've gone from coloring my hair to fun to blending my gray to owning my gray hair! Reasons I still go to Carly after 15 years: 1. Amazing hair dresser - I always leave feeling great about myself. I come to her with ideas, and she works with me on what would work best for me as a person I've had the following services: - semi-permanent dye (low upkeep) - full head of highlights (gray blending) - went pink for daughter's birthday - bangs! (free trim between cuts) - keratin treatment to smooth and straighten (I always get compliments!) 2. She does a great job with my entire family - amazing patience for kids 3. She works well with many different types of hair - from course asian hair to thin caucasian hair 4. She is more of a friend now than a hair dresser 5. Love the vibe at the salon - water and tea offered upon walking in the door read more

I just moved from Boston and I'm very picky about my hair, especially since I have curly hair. Carly really took the time to listen to what I wanted and delivered exactly that, with so much care and attention to detail. She's incredibly kind, professional, and made the entire experience feel easy and comfortable. I highly recommend her and will definitely be coming back to Carly for my hair! read more

A little brighten up of the hair! It's very low maintenance, since I'm so active and don't want to spend $300/mo on my hair. I don't know the fancy names but it was a balayage blend and the dark brown is my natural color. I have a few grays now around my temples so she blended those in for me too. Heather was recently promoted, well deserved and is amazing!.‍ all of the stylists there are good, and come at a variety of prices. Highly recommend. I also bring my two daughters to the salon as well for regular haircuts. read more

Young Attitudes - Hair - Hair Salons Near Me - La Jolla, California

This is not my "home" salon, as I was visiting UCSD and needed a haircut. The salon was able to squeeze me in at a convenient time and my service was pleasant and exactly as I requested. I have long, curly hair and worry about new people taking scissors to my hair but this cut was perfect! The salon also sold products for me to take back to my hotel room. I will definitely be back during my next to UCSD. read more

I received exactly the service requested. So happy with the haircut I had with Olivia. she understood my thick curly hair and managed a haircut thats making me happy everyday since I got it a week ago. First time after 8 haircuts in 4 years of living in San diego I can say i was hundred percent satisfied! Young Attitude at Via La jolla has a friendly and casual vibe...just what I find comfort in. I've finally found a stylist I am going back to for my next haircut. read more

Pam is the best stylist ever!! She gave me exactly what I asked for and always goes above and beyond. Thank you so much!!!

I recommend Carly Louden for her Talent and her Awesome Caring Attitude! I appreciate her recommendations on Color, Style and Cut. She takes her time to listen and cares about my concerns and comes up with solutions that work for my hair! Carly get's 5 stars as a stylist! read more

Beautiful salon but stylist could use more training. I used to love this salon but on my last visit, the stylist who cut my hair did an awful job. The layers were so choppy and not blended at all- it looked very unprofessional. Aside from the cut, everything else was great. i loved the products they used and how relaxing the hair wash was. The salon is clean and beautiful inside and i enjoyed the complimentary tea. But for the price i paid for a really bad cut, i won't be coming back. read more

I've been coming to Young Attitudes for my quarterly trims, and I always leave with amazing hair! Michael does a fantastic job of listening to what I want, understanding my hair goals, and offering great advice and suggestions tailored to my hair type. His expertise and attention to detail make every visit a pleasure. I always walk out feeling refreshed and confident. Highly recommend Michael at Young Attitudes if you're looking for a skilled and attentive stylist! read more

One of my good friends referred me to Carly. What an incredible experience! Carly is absolutely amazing and talented! She worked magic with my hair! It's never looked this good!! I will be a longtime customer. read more

First let me start off by saying I have had some fantastic haircuts here. Olivia is amazing and highly recommend her to anyone. Now the not so great... This salon has canceled my appointments last minute or moved me to another stylist who was not the same level of experience as my original appointment. Things happen, I get it. There is obviously no compensation for being cancelled on, but they make a point of sending a lot of texts saying you will be charged for not giving them enough notice. Anyway, as a result of one of the latest last minute cancellation calls I received, my first issue began. I had no choice but to go to the next available stylist that day because I didn't have time to book an appointment at another salon. The stylist was not the same level as the stylist that I normally see, and upon arrival I found out that I was moved to a third stylist as the original replacement also called out last minute. Since I was just getting a haircut, I decided to just go with it and hope for the best. The stylist I was placed with not only seemed agitated that I had brought pictures to help describe what I wanted my hair to look like, but then argued with me that what I was asking for was not what was shown in the picture and also assumed that the photo was of a well-known celebrity when it wasn't. Not that that should've mattered, but it was odd that they brought up a specific person that wasn't in the photo I showed them. Ultimately, I had asked for more of my hair to be trimmed than the stylist actually ended up trimming off because I stated that I wanted to have a little more time in-between maintenance. I ended up having to come back to have a "adjustment" and rather than them fixing the issue, they charged me for an additional service. This obviously should've been my last time going to the salon, but I had previously had very good experiences here so I decided to give them one more chance. I had been growing out my hair for quite a while, and it was very healthy. I booked an appointment for partial highlights and explained to the stylist that I wanted a very natural sun-kissed look with minimal damage. The salon also had notes on file of what I had discussed with my previous stylist, and I had expressed my concern as far as damaging my hair with products. I was assured that they were able to add lighter highlights without damaging the integrity of my hair overall. Upon arriving to my appointment, the stylist immediately said that I needed to change my service to a $300 service and that she would no longer have time to complete my full service that day. I explained that I had a very important work meeting coming up and my main priority was to get my hair cut so that I was able to feel confident and look presentable for this meeting. I was pressured into staying to have the color service done despite explaining that my priority was to get the cut and was assured that I could come back to have the haircut another day. I stated I would have preferred to come back for the color as the priority was the cut. This would have also given more time to make sure we were on the same page for the color. I realize now that I should've got up and left immediately, but once again decided to continue with the service. Prior to beginning, I stated multiple times that the reason I had asked for partial highlights was because I did not want every strand to receive bleach. I only wanted the top layer to be colored and I wanted minimal damage. The stylist spent several hours with me, despite indicating that I had limited time and needed to get back to work following the appointment. All good had I gotten what I asked and paid for. Quality work does take time. When it came time to rinse out the product, my hair was extremely tangled and they forcefully brushed through my hair and I could hear it breaking as they were trying to detangle it. The stylist even stated they were "trying to hurry to detangle so they could add toner". Undoubtedly because they were in a rush as it was getting very late in the day. I ultimately left with the entire lower half of my hair extremely bleached and very brittle due to the amount of product that was used, and the amount oftime that the product was left on my hair; combined with the forceful detangling process. It doesn't look natural at all -- the toner left it very yellow. When I arrived at the salon, I had more than enough healthy dark hair to create contrast with the lighter highlights and will now have to spend several hundred dollars to fix this issue and wait a year or more for it to grow out again. The worst part of the experience was that the stylist did not cut the hair prior to using the product on it which I requested multiple times. They ended up charging me and reminding me that there was a charge for every ounce of the product that would be used as to avoid waste. Had my hair been cut first as requested, I wouldn't have wasted $$. read more

Run! The service here is horrible. On Sunday, they canceled my appointment after I arrived on site- while the stylist was standing in front of me with another customer! I had scheduled a blowout today with a different stylist for a special family photo session, and they canceled again - leaving us with 2 hours to find a solution. In all of the times we visited this location, they did not provide the standard AVEDA extras like neck/ hand massage. Spend your money at a salon that respects your time! read more

Maggie is excellent. She listens and does a great job with cut and color. Salon is pleasant and efficient.

Carly is a specialist in short hair for women, she is soo amazing and creative with her craft as well as delivering precision in her cuts! The best part tho is that she is a blast to be around, she genuinely takes interest in cultivating a personal relationship and makes me feel cared for all these years as well as my family I have referred. My life is better because of her. read more

Tried out this place because it's close to my house. Let's start with setting up the appointment. I tried makinf an appointment via their website. But it was too confusing. So, I called instead and the person on the phone explained that each price varies, depending on their expertise. She was very patient in explaining it to me and offered to set up my appointment for me and I accepted. They sent me a text the day before to confirm my appointment. That's always a nice reminder Day of my appointment, Receptionist checked me in. Very nice and friendly. That's always a bonus in my opinion as they are what sets the first impression. If they were not friendly, it sets the tone of the salon experience. Chelsea, my stylist greeted and seated me to her station. She asked what I wanted and gave me a quote before she started. That's always nice so that there are no surprises when it's time to pay. What I asked for? Highlights that can camouflage the grays and a trim. Chelsea was very sweet and love that she has gentle hands. A lot of stylist I've been to tug and scratch and makes the experience uncomfortable. I love her scalp massages. End results, it looked great and was happy. When I got home, I realized that my hair was a little lighter than what I expected. Maybe I just need to get used to it. But what I love about my hair is the way it was blended, which makes the fact that it's light less noticeable. I will definitely go back to this salon and see Chelsea again. read more

My home salon and consistently excellent! Kourtney is my stylist, who is ranked as a master and deservedly so. Cut is always perfect, as is the coloring. Coloring is purples and blues and she might vary the combination. When Kourtney is unavailable, Dulce alternates. Staff is pleasant, comfortable seating area if early and tea/water is offered. read more

Was nervous to go to a new salon but everyone was so welcoming and the lady at the front desk was very kind! I got a haircut from Pam and I absolutely love it she did a great job and I will be returning read more

Definitely not recommended for baby highlights. My hair looks like it was done one month ago, nothing blended. You can see the difference from the previous baby highlights to those highlights. Just horrible. read more

Love this salon! I love all the Avedas because they provide a standard of service across the board that always makes me happy. Specifically I've been following Pam around as my stylist for a few years now. Where ever she goes, I go! She always leaves me happy with my color and I always feel like that version of myself I'm going for. Thank you Pam for being so amazing :) read more

I love Amber. I have been going to her for almost 2 years and she kills it every time! She did my wedding hair color and cut and just recently we went short and she always makes me look so beautiful after. I have been a blonde my entire life and she always knows the best products to recommend. We recently tried a new toner on her recommendation and dare I say it's the best color yet! I LOVE AMBER and would recommend her for all your hair needs! read more

Love this salon! I had a pixie cut here over a year ago. Carly did an absolutely amazing job (see the attached picture). I was rocking that short hair for the first time in my life and I felt so empowered! A year and a half later (when my hair got long enough), I came back for balayage. This time Page did a phenomenal job! Some people think it's my natural hair (I think it's the best compliment to bleached hair)! Both Carly and Page are the best hairdressers I've ever been taken care of by. It just looks like Young Attitudes attracts talented professionals. Thank you so much, ladies! I'll definitely be back! read more

Hi Erica, I was expecting a call from you today which I didn't receive, so it seems I need to follow up here. Nowhere in your response you acknowledged the terrible result you can see in the pictures, instead you blame your client why she didn't complain at the check out! And say how wonderful your nail technician is!! It was 6:30 pm, you had closed down the salon and all your colleagues were gone, just one person was at the front desk to have me pay and leave. What would that change and how would you make it right had I complained to your cashier?! Your technician used an electric machine all over the dry skin around the nails, it hurt and I even asked her why at least she doesn't use a drop of coticule remover to make it softer, if not soaking my fingers in water. She simply replied she knew what she was doing, and resulted in leaving scars on my finger tips and not having my coticules removed completely in a straight line. Also all the nail polish is around the edges as you can clearly see! read more

Got a last minute men's trim today from their barber, Gio. Definitely on the pricier side for a men's trim but this dude knows what's up. Professional, kind and super knowledgeable, Gio paid close attention to detail and let me have control over every step, which is something I feel is rare in a lot of shops. He took the time to make sure I felt comfortable with how the cut was looking every so often, which in turn made me feel secure and relaxed. He knew a lot about hair and the ergonomics of a cut. Nice conversations made the time go by fast. He also lint rolled my shirt himself before I got out of the chair haha! This guy rocks. I love my cut. I will definitely be booking with him again. Thanks Gio!! read more

BOOK WITH HEATHER. Before starting the haircut, I showed her some inspiration pics and she gave me a whole consultation and what to expect. She's very thorough and takes time to walk you through what she's doing. My hair looks a lot healthier and lighter. The result is a lot better than what I was expecting as well. I love it so much!! Shout out to Heather!! She is also such a fun person to talk to :) read more

Absolutely do not recommend. Went in for a shampoo and blow out and left the salon looking I walked straight into 1982. Total frizz and no style. Will need to redo. So disappointed. Don't waste your money. Why did Dry Bar have to close in that plaza? Life was so easy then. read more

AnnMarie works Magic! There are people who can cut hair and then there are people who are genuinely great at what they do. This was my 2nd time seeing her and had just as great an experience, if not better. First off, the entire staff is super friendly and amazing. You can start a comversation with anyone. The place is clean, easy to find. AnnMarie is so fun! She has the best personality, she's great at understanding what you want done and offers great advice.
