I was greeted in a timely manner, and made completely comfortable by everyone in the shop. My hair colorist, Austin Arenz was professional, very knowledgeable about hair styles and coloring and offered me guidence for what I was looking for with long hair. She listened, offered suggestions and the outcome was fabulous! I have suggested Austin to others as well as Hairspray Salon.
I had my hair cut by Austin.She is hands down the best hair cutting experience Ive ever had. She flawlessly gave me my Mohawk I wanted in a style that complimented my head shape. Then, textured my hair to perfection, finished it up with a splash of wonderful aftershave products for the side of my scalp.On top of this, shes polite, professional, kind and sublimely positive!! Her room she cuts is in full of absolutely eye catching appeal too!If you love your hair, and you want a great experience, please go see Austin!🤘💀🤘
Lauren is hands down literally the best hairstylist I’ve been to! I will only be going to her from now on! She was super clean, well organized, super friendly and I loved my hair at the end of our appointment! Not to mention, she is insanely professional and has such a positive attitude. You can tell she truly loves what’s she’s doing and is super passionate about her work and building such great relationships with her clientele! Thank you again Lauren, so excited to continue having you take care of my hair! ♥️
Hannah is awesome I went to her on a Groupon and she was great! I’m very particular about my hair and highlights and total experience, definitely know if I will be back after the first time. I’ve been back to her several times and very happy every time. I will definitely continue to go to her for all my hair needs. Thank you Hannah!
Austin does phenomenal work! She was the first person I came to when I moved to San Diego and I’m so grateful to have her as my stylist. She made my over-processed, cheap hair dyed hair look amazing. We are in the process of going lavender from black/green and shes made it a very manageable & good looking transition which very hard to do. Her hairdresser/barber skills are out of this world!!
I always have an amazing experience with Austin! Her hair coloring skills are incredible! Its always hard to find a hairstylist who knows how to remove color properly without damaging your hair. Also, the colors she mixes always come out amazing on my hair.I give her a theme, and she Takes it from there! Not only is she a pro at what she does, but shes has fair pricing and is extremely professional. Thank you so much for always an awesome experience!
Raeanne has been doing my hair since before COVID. Very professional! Always happy with the outcome! The salon is always clean, everyone is very professional. This is my favorite spot to come and relax!!!❤
This is hands-down the best and most professional barber in San Diego County. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone. She can handle any type of hairstyle you throw in front of her, I swear! From super curly to straight as an arrow. She will bring your hair to life. Not only does she recommend ways to take care of your hair she will also make sure it’s done right. Never cuts corners like most male barbers I’ve had. Wanna have a rainbow hair, bring it on, want a fade, bring it on. She can handle it all with a smile. Don’t waste your time on amateur barbers that call them selves “professionals“ go see Austin!
Booom! fresh clean fade, thanks Austin! I had the pleasure of getting a haircut from this amazing stylist. I was recommend by a friend and wow I really did not expect my haircut to be as clean and crisp. First of all lets start with how Austin presented herself. She began by offering a nice cool refreshments which at the time I wasnt sure if was at an extra charge but it was all complimentary. Refreshments?? Really why not I said to my self. Wow the ambient of her little section was so cool with a very artistic and mesmerizing displays. Not sure how many are fans of Tim Burton but I definitely felt like I was being infused into another world. Typical issues I have when I get a fade with other barbers is the fade itself is not fully fade and the lines are some what visible. Austin went far and beyond! Im telling you her fade was just seamless really really satisfied! Im not typically a person that leaves reviews often but this one is a must. The only downside is that she stays really busy with business so booking is key! Again Thanks Austin looking forward for future business.
Trying out this salon was a great experience for me. I had an appointment with Austin, a truly exceptional barber with an extensive resume behind her, and I can’t wait to be back. She has the magical ability to take whatever is in your head and turn it into a masterpiece. She is also incredibly kind and communicative, which is extremely important to me. If you need a barber to give you some extra confidence with a pristine cut, she’s the one to go to. 11/10
Austin is THE BEST Barber around! Her attention to detail is immaculate! When I want to treat my husband I book an appointment with Austin! It’s like a dude day at the spa! She is absolutely amazing! If you ever want to get the dude version of flowers for your man book him an appointment with Austin! You won’t regret it!
Lauren has been doing my hair for a little over 8 years now and living in a different state hasn’t even stopped me from going to see her! I really appreciate the time she takes to explain what she’s doing and how long the process will take. Sometimes I’ll come to her with inspiration photos and other times I’ll tell her to let her artistic side run wild. Either way, she always delivers a dreamy end result!
Austin is my barber and is, in two words, TOTALLY AWESOME! I’m a bit older than her other clients, and so present different issues to a Barber (what hair I have left is sparsely distributed and not evenly spaced). She always makes me look dashing and more attractive than when I came in…. Her demeanor is both pleasant and a little impish, and I thoroughly enjoy going to see her. In short, she’s everything one would want in a Barber, and so much more!
Austin is my absolute favorite hair stylist. She is super professional while also making you feel like you’re getting your hair done by your best friend. She’s incredibly knowledgeable—found out she teaches and also was snatched up by a company to cut hair for famous musicians on tour (pretty cool if you ask me). I love knowing I’m leaving her chair looking 10x better than when I came in. She knows what I want/need better than I do!
I have never trusted someone with my hair like I have Austin. When I say trust her with my hair I truly mean it. In the past I have had other hair artists that promise quality but don’t deliver. Austin is attentive and open to her clients ideas. Austin makes you feel at home In her chair. Almost like an escape from the world, for the hour you’re there. She has always been open to my crazy hair colors and exceeded expectations. She didn’t bat an eye when I asked for a spider web shaved into my undercut. Even when I wanted 5 different colors in my hair, and needed a color correction. A truly talented barber and hair specialist. I stand by her. Quality over quantity. Honestly, I won’t go to anyone else. She’s that good, and that real.
Its been several years since Ive had my hair professionally cut so I was quite nervous leading up to my appointment. I expressed my concerns and Austin was absolutely wonderful! She was patient and very encouraging. I wasnt quite sure what I wanted done with my hair, but I put my trust in Austin and she did not disappoint! She helped me gain so much confidence in myself! I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Shanna was AMAZING! She is such a wonderful person, so full of life. She did a keratin treatment on my hair and it was perfect. Her attention to detail was incredible. I would be thrilled to go back to her for future visits.
Already received many compliments on my hair after visiting Shanna! You’re company is always awesome and great energy. Thank you for bringing my hair back to life! I appreciate the hair advice and products to keep it looking and feeling great! Smells so good :)
Austin is awesome! The cut is always on point - she takes her time to make sure you’re happy, and her attention to detail is really strong. She’s super friendly too, and offering a beverage never hurts! Highly recommend
I have been going to this place since I was in high school and I absolutely love it here! The staff is amazing, especially Tyler Flood, and the service is remarkable. They always have great music playing in the background and they offer drinks to clench your thrist. Going here is a great experience and I would recommend this place to everyone!
Thuy is the BEST stylist ever! Not only is she super sweet, she is extremely talented, her hands are ofMagic! Her technique while performing balayage, complex color correction, and extensions are amazing! She uses the BEST products, her collagen treatments are to die for! She exceeds my expectations every visit! Thank you Thuy! ❤️
I have been a client of Austin’s for close to 2 years and I’ve never had a bad experience! She is exceptionally talented and knowledgeable at what she does, always has suggestions and answers to my questions when I’m not sure what I should do with my hair, and is a super fun and easy going person. I always look forward to getting my haircut by her because she brings great conversation and an amazing atmosphere to be in! I would recommend Austin to anyone looking for an all around great barber experience!
This is an amazing salon! Shanna has done my hair for 7 years now and I have the best time every time I visit Hairspray Salon (scalp massage, cut, style, diva light photos!). Shanna has been a rockstar dealing with my hard to do thick wavy hair and I feel fabulous after each session. All of the stylists are friendly and flexible with scheduling - so I highly recommend this salon and its stylists for EVERYONE! They celebrate diversity and are easily accessed right off University Ave.
I had a Groupon and made an appointment with Hannah for highlights, haircut and style and she did an amazing job! Exactly what I asked for and she was so nice to talk to. I will definitely be going back next time I get my hair done. Ive been back in San Diego for four years and just havent been able to find the right stylist so I am very happy I finally found one!!
Austin is just about the best barber this side of the Mississippi. I’ve followed her from shop to shop and watched as the quality and care she put into each cut and each customer, getting to know them on a personal level, has helped her rise to the top of her game. Now when I see her, I feel very honored that she’s taken the time out of her busy schedule of brand repping or teaching to give me the best haircut I’ve ever gotten 11/10 she rocks
Hannah is so great! She took great care of my hair and made me feel so confident in her skills. I went in for highlights and a cut and she did exactly what I wanted!The salon is really clean and welcoming!I love it here cant wait to see Hannah again and have her slay my hair some more !
Shanna and her team at Hairspray are absolutely incredible and such a breath of fresh air! You always leave with your hair looking healthy and fabulous, and also for the full makeover a smile on your face because the staff is true joy. Found this salon on Groupon and they are my absolute favorite in the San Diego area! They keep it honest, customer-oriented, and ensure the entire experience is fabulous. Thank you Shanna! So happy we met!
I started getting my hair done by Lauren and words cannot describe how amazing she is at what she does! I always leave feeling so great about everything and my hair always looks amazing. Book with her you will not regret it!
It took me about 7 years to find a barber that I like. Austin is friendly, provides great customer service, and the quality of her work is amazing. Very detail oriented and knows her stuff. Definitely recommend!
Austin at Hairspray Salon is so awesome! Very welcoming and cool atmosphere. She did a great job on my hair, Im very particular about my hairstyle and she nailed it. Definitely my go to place for haircuts.
I’ve been going to hairspray for a little while now and my stylist Lauren is the best! I came to her with what I knew would be a pretty big project, I have coarse dark hair and of course I wanted it as white as possible. She has consistently gotten it lighter with each visit while managing my expectations and never letting me leave with hair Im not into. We’re maybe a shade away from the goal and I’m already obsessed!
Ms. Austin is the BEST barber in all of San Diego. She is a compassionate and dedicated professional who gives her clientes the absolute best experience. I always leave her shop feeling and looking great. Her fades are clean, drinks strong, and conversation deep. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a fresh cut.
Tyler is literally the ONLY person I will let cut my hair. For the past couple of years he has performed miracles on me. He even managed to fix my mess when I cut a necklace out of my hair and looked like I fought my scissors.10/10 recommend. Incredibly professional and personable and always has me looking fabulous! I send everyone I know to him!
Ive been coming to Hairspray salon for over 8 years. I have been a true and loyal guest to Thuy (which is the best hairstylist) for those 8 years, and many more to come. She knows exactly how to take care of my hair and keeps it healthy and beautiful. They give you complementary drinks and snacks which is a nice touch while getting your hair done. Every woman I recommend to Thuy loves her just as much as I do and they never turn their back on her. Thank you for everything!
I have been going to Austin for about a 2-3 years now. If you knew me you would be surprised someone else other than myself touches my hair. Ive been doing it since I was 14 and usually dont want anyone else to do it. When I had Austin do my hair for the first time, I knew I had met my person. She knows EXACTLY what I want even when I dont. She also can do it all too.... Short hair, long hair, colored, normal. If you need to get your hair done buzzed or just a trim, she is your girl.
It’s so fun sitting in Honey’s chair. She is amazing at vibrant colors and is willing to experiment with different color combos. I enjoy the conversation and the atmosphere.
I had the pleasure of meeting such a wonderful barber and Cosmetologist “Austin”. She has an awesome set up and very welcoming, clean and relaxing environment to say the least. From start to finish she is very attentive and makes sure to work with you on your look and and over all appearance!Very professional and such a kind hearted individual. You have to pay her a visit!!!! You will come out truly feeling like a bossS B**** LOL
Tyler is the best stylist around! Not only is he great at cutting, coloring, and styling, but he’s also a fun guy to hang out with, which is exactly what you want if you’re in one of those extended sessions. Once you get Tyler, you’ll never want another styler 😉
Hannah was great about offering to put on a mask when I asked her about it. She was professional, friendly and welcoming. We had a plan to do colors with silver, pink and blue and I asked her if we could do everything along with a trim for $175. She said it wouldnt be more than about $100. I asked if we could change it and do silver and rainbow colors and if that would cost extra and she said no, it wouldntcost extra. She did a good job with all the colors but she also added gray at my roots which I didnt understand why because in the end, it made it look like my black rots were growing out. Not what anyone would want with a full color job. She also said she would give me free shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair. Overall, she did a pretty good job but then charged me $200 without explaining why it was double $100. I would have been fine with $175 plus an explanation of the colors being more costly but she didnt say anything and just charged my card without even giving me a total. I would still recommend her though but I will probably personally find a friend to color my hair in the future.
I got my hair cut by Lauren & she was the sweetest & made me feel so comfortable (I have ~hair anxiety~ lol). She was so attentive to what I wanted & I loved my hair right after (usually I hate it until at least a week later)!! I Can’t recommend her enough- Amazing, Clean, Attentive & high quality!!
First time at Hairspray and enjoyed the atmosphere. Rachel is my girl, I followed her from north park and she the best stylist/ mens haircut Ive had since I moved to San Diego. Recommend 👍
Im so happy with the end result. Thuy did a great job. My spouse likes my new hair color. Even my co workers! It’s definitely a 5- star for her work!
I see Austin of Wild Heart for years now and she is always very professional. She is a wizard with a straight razor and does a super clean job. Her shop is always neat and she is always willing to work around your schedule. I am a forever client and i highly suggest checking her out!
Shanna is amazing with hair colors & haircuts... she delivers what you request.Every time I step out I’m feeling like a new gorgeous me! Super cute, welcoming clean place :)
Hannah did an incredible job with my hair! She made my partial look very natural and did a nice simple trim as requested. She was great to talk with, and I will be going back again soon!
Lauren is great at trying to understand expectations for services, gives good advice on what should be performed, and really listens to what I want my hair to look like! Always feel like home to sit in her chair ✨
Austin is the just best! She takes the best care of her clients by always making herself available and providing the best quality at every appointment. I am always getting compliments on my hair, thanks to her!
I found Lauren (lunaxalchemy) by luck. Ive been looking for someone I can trust to cut my hair like my mom used to. After years of looking I finally found her. Lauren is professional and truly listens to her clients wants and needs. I got a haircut, wash and style from her. I havent been happier with a haircut! She cut, washed (with a relaxing scalp massage) and styled it perfectly. Lauren is funny, vibrant and has such a positive vibe and attitude. She is located inside the super cute salon Hairspray. If youre looking for that perfect cut, Lauren is your girl!
I’ve been a repeat client of Laurens for a few years now. Always professional and always so sweet. I recommend her to just about everyone!
I love Shanna and the people who work there! She does amazing work from color to cut. She has done a variety of things for me bc Im the type of person who loves changing it up and she always goes above and beyond my expectations.
Hannah was amazing and wonderful to talk to! She was able to make my hair look the way I wanted to when I wasn’t able to convey it probably in words. She is a delight and I will be coming back again to get my hair done by her. I got blonde partial highlights and a trim.
Austin gives the BEST fades and haircuts, so good in fact, that I gladly followed her when she moved from her North County shop and make the drive down to see her.It was hard for me to find a good barber that could also cut hair, and thankfully I found her. My boyfriend also gets fades/cuts and his beard trimmed by Austin. She can do it all! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Shana has cut my curly hair off and on for years and straightens it for special events. I havent found anyone who can straighten my curly hair better!
I always get my haircut by Austin and she does a fantastic job! She takes the time to make sure you’re happy with the final results. She kills it with fades too!
My long-time (20 years) stylist, Rachel, recently moved here so this was my first time visiting. What a fun, inviting, & bright shop! Fine 🏳️🌈 fun! ❤️
Lauren is an amazing stylist! I love sitting in her chair. 🖤
The salon was a cute stop in Hillcrest with lovely motivational quotes on the wall. My hairdresser Hannah was wonderful and cut my hair perfectly. She gave my crazy COVID hair a style again and left me feeling so much more like myself :). I highly recommend coming here and am so impressed by the kind staff.
Austin does my hair. Weve gone through two color changes and Ive been extremely happy each time. Professional, fun, and clean.
I get my hair cut with Tyler - hes always extremely professional and efficient, and I always leave happy with his work!
Thuy Nguyen is a very friendly and professional stylist. I have been coming to her for hair makeovers for over 5 years now. Everything I wanted, she can make it happen in a heartbeat. She really cares about my hair health and does wonderful treatments as well.
Austin was amazing! She went above and beyond expectations and took really good care of me and my family!
Love this salon!!!! Owner, Shanna, is truly a gifted Master Stylist!!! Her work is top-notch. Watched her with clientele as well as other stylists...professional, nice, maintains a clean, shop!!!! Diverse peoples came and went. Nothing but kindness to all.My friend’s hair, as always...gorgeous.Highly recommend it to all!!!!
Highly recommend! Hannah was awesome on helping me touch up my highlights and getting my hair looking healthy.
Austin does great haircuts, is professional, and is enjoyable to have a conversation with while getting a haircut. I highly recommend her!
Lauren brought my hair back to life after not being able to get it done for 8 months. I always leave her chair happy with the perfect shade of blonde!
I have been struggling with barbers who are not passionate with their art for many years. Austin is absolutely amazing. I became a part of her art.
Austin is ahh-mazing!! If you havent seen her Barber skills and her vivid colors, you are missing out!! She will listen to your requests, make suggestions, and then create her magic! Go see her. You wont regret it!!
Miss Honey (also known as @_honeyandhair_ on Instagram) is constantly giving me the hair of my dreams. There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to have found her after some bad luck with previous hairstylists. She is my hair fairy godmother and recommend her to everyone who asks.
Thuy is phenomenal! She is very professional, talented, and hospitable. She is the only person I know who is able to cut my hair exactly how I like it, from a shoulder length a-line bob to long layers. Thank you Thuy!
Hands down to the best Hair Stylist in Town Thuy! She did an amazing job on my balayage and collagen treatment. My work schedule is so hectic and she was able to accommodate me. Having to find the right person to take care of your hair is hard and thankfully I was able to find Thuy. If anyone is looking for a hairstylist I highly recommend her!
First time getting my hair done in 5 years due to other stylists leaving me with damaged and messed up hair. Thuys work online is really nice so I decided to book with her and I am so glad I did. It’s even better in person, she is AMAZING!!!! She did a balayage and haircut on me AND she offered collagen treatment that made my hair feel brand new! She made me feel so comfortable and welcoming for being in the chair for almost 7 hours! Her work is amazing and her personality is a blessing. Can’t wait for my next appt (:
Austin was super cool and took care of me and my family and I couldn’t love my haircut more than I do
Always a great and fun experience getting my haircut with Austin, always love her professionalism super chill vibe …
Thuy Nguyen is the best ! Perfect color and very professional ! She has done color, highlights, haircut and balayage and does an excellent job with blonde for dark hair. Her collagen treatment Is a very nice touch and feels incredible. I don’t plan on changing hairstylists in the San Diego area .
Great service, professional. Always happy with my hair service.
Even though I moved out of town, I still save every haircut I can for when Im in San Diego. Lauren always helps me figure out what exactly I want and takes a lot of care. She clearly has a lot of pride in her work.
Thuy is my favorite! She’s so sweet & funny! I’m usually in the chair for +5 hours & thanks to Thuy the time goes by quickly & is well spent. I don’t foresee myself looking for a new stylist ever. Thuys work is amazing. She really listens to what I want & never disappoints. Her bleaching & toning rating is outside of this world! Infinity out of 5 star rating. If you’re looking to go blonde or grey please book with Thuy! Those are the two colors she’s done on me & all I have to say is WOW! ❤️🔥😻💕
Been getting my hair done with Thuy for years and she’s great!
Lauren is awesome and always makes me look great.
Lauren. You need Lauren in your life. I swear you won’t regret it. She is beautiful and bubbly, fun and sweet. She will listen to you and get the job done perfectly. Lauren.
What a WONDERFUL place !!!And a Great professional made me a really beautiful job on my hair.Thanks Lauren !!!
Hannah is a wonderful stylist!! I trust her with my hair!
Excellent Staff with Exceptional Service!
Lauren is the best!
Ashley was super awesome! I came in wanting a rose gold color and she was very professional and up front on how that might have to take more than one session but we could make our way up to it if I wanted to and I agreed. To my surprise my hair did pick some rose gold color and overall looks great. I already set my next appointment to get to the next level for my desired color. Thank you Ashley!
Got partial highlights twice here ! Love my hair for weeks !
You cant go wrong! Everyone is friendly, but Ill only go to Peter! He is fantastic! He has done so many styles and colors for me. From a great business cut to a green mohawk. Love him!
This is a hidden GEM! Found a Groupon with Raeanne and decided to try it out! My hair looks amazing, it hasnt looked this way in decades!! Look the color, Raeanne is patient, asked tons of questions and took her time! Need a change book your app now you wont go wrong! The owner Shauna is awesome too very interactive and fun!
Peter Ambrose colored and cut my hair today. He does an amazing job with color. The color is exactly what I described to him. Peter has been cutting my hair for about 2 years. When I started with him my cut looked terrible, flat and impossible to style. He has fixed the cut so I now never have a bad hair day. I highly recommend Peter Ambrose at Hairspray.
This is the the BEST place - Fantastic stylists, sangria and scalp massage included with haircut, just overall a great experience. Diva light photos after your cut (spice up your social media). Highly recommend.
Nohemy was absolutely amazing! I have been coloring my hair pretty dark for a few years and have recently been wanting to go really light. I stripped the color myself and got it to a light copper red, waited about a week and randomly searched on Groupon for a highlight deal and found Hairspray salon. I called and Nohemy was able to see me an hour and a half later. We chatted about how I wanted to go lighter and the cut I wanted and she walked me through every step of what she thought would be best for my hair which is pretty long and thick. She thought it would be better to do a balayage instead to get me a lot lighter. It worked!!! I have been wanting to go blond for 3 years and she is the first stylist that helped me get there!!! I will never see anyone else for my hair needs!! She got me super light, my haircut is AMAZING and she even taught me how to use a curling iron!! Thank you so much Nohemy!!
Louise is a great hair stylist you should check her out!
Just love this salon, design, layout, and workers. When Im driving up, it doesnt look like much. Till you enter the salon, go upstairs, and be wowed. Friendly workers.
Only snob free part is Michael the receptionist. The salon opens at 930 but no hair stylist until 10am. You are lucky if nail specialist is there one day. I needed consultation for partial highlights and Michael was so sweet saying that hair stylist was parking her car after 10 am. So I chatted with Michael showing pictures of what I wanted then 10 minutes later, the stylist comes in, ignores me, scolds Michael in front of me for letting her know that I needed a consultant and then she rushed away in a huff. Alrighty! I waiting another ten minutes and finally decided to eat instead and check out another place. Snob free salon my ass!! The only non snob was the receptionist. They are lucky to have him. Plus if a salon is too open with schedule then there is a problem.
I love this salon! Annie does the best brows!
Cancelled the night before our appointment. Impossible to find anyone else to get me same day. Unnecessary stress added to the day
Annie is awesome for brow waxing. Amazing value and so much talent. Shes a brow genius.
