Details SalonSpa

I love my hair! Kristy did an amazing job. I showed her just a couple of pictures and she definitely delivered. Best hair dye job ever!

I just had an amazing signature facial from Jen! I have sensitive skin and she took such good care of me. I walked out floating on a cloud! A great location with an excellent coffee shop below and the beach two blocks away.

Amber gets a solid 5 stars. Hell, if I could give her 10 stars i would. I met Amber at the Aveda store in Fashion Valley after I came in for a hair consult and she dropped such amazing knowledge and tips on how to manage and appropriately style my deeply wavy, thick hair that I immediately trusted her to tame my locks. Her stylist skills kick a**! So much so that even though I no longer live in SD, upon booking my flight for my most recent visit, calling her at Details Salon was my immediate second dial. Amber did not disappoint! She revamped my hair so spectacularly that I seriously got compliments for the entire weekend. Thank you for giving me an awesome hair day every day!

This review is long over due! However I have been seeing Faren at Details Salon for so long that Unilocal didn’t exist when I first starting getting my hair done by her. Faren is the most competent hair dresser I have ever seen. She is so good at achieving the color and cut that you ask for. I call her a hair scientist because she really knows how to deliver the hair style you are asking for no matter what obstacles are in the way. I just got my hair highlighted and cut Friday by her and it just looks so beautiful that I decided its time I give this woman a shout out!!! I’ve been seeing her for over a decade now… she is really just an insanely talented stylist. Details is an Aveda salon and it is really comfy and cute. Everyone is always friendly which is nice but more than anything it’s nice to get your hair done by someone who doesnt over promise and under deliver. Faren always delivers. She stays very current in her line of work and is always up on any new techniques and trends. Details salon and Faren will always be my go to for this thick mane of mine.

Details is an amazing salon!
I go here to get my hair cut by Angela who does an amazing job and I also had my hair done here for my wedding. Faren not only did my wedding hair but also did all my bridesmaids! I am so happy I found this salon because these two ladies have changed my way of thinking when it comes to hair! The salon uses AVEDA products, which I love and the girls are great fun to be around!
Faren came to me on the day of the wedding so it was that much better because no one had to leave the house. She was on time and worked until all the girls felt beautiful.
I highly recommend the salon for all your hair styling needs!

Nicole, the esthetician, is absolutely amazing! I had an hour facial with her for the first time, and booked my next facial with her before I left. She’s incredibly sweet, and you can tell she loves what she does. Very relaxing, and helped clear my face up quite a bit. My skin has been glowing since. It was hands-​down the best facial/​massage I have ever had! I plan on visiting her monthly, now.

Got a beautiful Brazilian wax by Kayleigh yesterday! She was experienced, professional, and calmed my nerves through my first wax in about a year (really, stop shaving now and make an appointment). The job was thorough but quick, and Kayleigh was consultative about maintenance with my skin/​hair type. I would recommend her with 10 stars if I could.

Angela is an amazing stylist! She fit me in on a tight schedule and did and awesome job!

Won a raffle with a free haircut from Tyson last year at the OB street fair. I’m not a salon guy but what the heck a free haircut tried it out and I’ve been a regular since last year. Tyson is super friendly and my wife loves the way he cuts my hair. Got an old fashioned straight razor shave last weekend! It was the best shave ever!

Liked my stylist, Barbara, and was happy with my hair (highlights, cut and deep conditioning treatment). Was I blown away and amazed? Not really. But I was pleased.
HOWEVER. My friend and I were there for FOUR hours. My stylist helped 3 other customers in between doing my hair, and had to delegate things like my conditioning treatment to the front desk girl (who was great). My stylist seemed rushed, stressed, and incredibly overbooked. I understand more customers = more money, but I left feeling neglected and offended that my time wasn’t considered. I wasn’t even offered water the whole time I was there!
Overall– would I go back? No. I won’t waste time like that twice. My hair? Looks and feels great. But I’ve had that elsewhere. Would I send others in? Never.

Nice salon with friendly people, great setting. Barbara did a fantastic job on both my cut and color. Highly recommended!

I gotta say the only salon I trust in town … My wife used to work their many years ago and the family atmosphere rocks …
My kids an I use Tyson Passey as our stylist while my wife has her favorite (Kimberly) Tyson really knows what he is doing not like those «stupid cuts» or the «sport razor» shops …
I don’t mind talking to people and having a conversation with truly genuine hair artists. My kids don’t mind either, they actually enjoy people instead of a stupid kids movie or sports game on a small TV in their face !
I have to say it’s really hard to come up with great hair styles but the people at Details know what they are doing.
Today I truly didn’t know what i wanted and left it In the hand of an artist and I’m truly happy with the results …
Thanks again Tyson and the entire Details crew … You rock !

I had an awesome experience here yesterday with my new stylist Brittany! She is talented in her choices and recommendations. My highlights and lowlights turned out beautifully. Left with my hair having aromas of Aveda products and wonderful color!
It is a big small world and I am thankful to have met Brittany and Congratulations on being a new Wife! :)

I first started going here for hair cuts and used the salon a bunch when my wedding came up. I just moved out of state and it’s going to be hard for me to find a new salon! I’ll miss Details.
I went to either Bri or Erica and loved them both. Went to Bri when I decided to do my first nontrim major haircut in about 5 years and I loved how she cut it! It was crazy for me to finally cut off so much but she did a great job. I went to Erica once to get my hair nice to greet my husband back from deployment and when she found that out she put in extra effort to make sure my hair was nicely curled! In addition the massage chairs at shampooing and the complimentary drink, I loved coming here and having a welcoming and friendly salon staff that takes care of their clients really sincerely.
So then the wedding stuff. I never got my eyebrows waxed before and decided to try that a few weeks before and Donna did a great job. I went to her again for eyebrows wedding week, and also a trim with Erica. The day of the wedding they did such an amazing job I seriously did not want to change a thing about my hair or makeup. Erica did an amazing curly updo that was just right: it was elegant without being messy or uptight formal. Donna also did a perfectly balanced look for makeup. Not overdone or too simple. I loved everything she did. I wish I could figure out how to describe it but I just remember looking in the mirror before I left and being 100% happy with both what Erica and Donna did. A wedding day is a crazy combo of details and their work definitely was part of making it such a special and memorable day!
They were always so friendly and genuine. I might have to stop by for some hair and eyebrows next time I visit San Diego :)

Ohhh Donna. You made my legs as smooth as a baby’s butt! Thank you for the excellent wax job! I can actually say that I enjoyed the experience. That is saying a lot when you consider that I paid money to have someone rip the hairs from my body. She did a great job and legs are shiny and smooth!

Brittney is amazing! The whole staff is so nice and friendly. I love coming here and relaxing with a glass of wine, magazine and getting my hair did.

Britney is awesome! Check this place out!

Karen is amazing. she really understands my skin. Sometimes I think she has more hope for it than I do. She’s recommended a few products, and only because I asked. She’s great. I’m writing this review partly because she’s so awesome, and I wish I could go there, but am trying to save some cash. So if you’re looking. go here!
Bri is who I go to for all my hair needs … and she is equally awesome. I highlighted my hair a while back, and when everything was growing out and looking yucky I asked if I could go back to my natural. I think it was only the second time I had seen her. Even though I had at least two distinct shades in my hair, and a line from where the highlights grew out, she matched my whole head perfectly. It’s been months, and she matched it so well, I forgot my hair was ever a different color.
Thanks ladies!

I’m a local and a professional Interior Designer. Image is very important in our biz and Barbara does a wonderful job of helping me to look polished and sassy!
I enjoy the salon and always notice the changing décor with the seasons and holidays. Outstanding service and very personalized too!

You wouldn’t think a hair salon in Ocean Beach (aka hippy haven) would be a place you’d find many dudes… well it’s not.
I rarely get my hair cut in a salon, and when I do it’s to cure low self-​esteem. Stylists are usually hot chicks, and they have to be nice to you cuz you’re a paying customer. As a dude, it’s a quick antidote for insecurities. That’s usually the only reason I go, but on this occasion I needed a Jersey Shore style cut quick, fast, and in a hurry. (Mad props for sqeezin’ me in, ladies)
I really wish I could have spent more time in here though. The stylists and receptionists were flirty, and they gave me a free brew to enjoy while getting my ears lowered. If they were open late at night and served a full bar I’d probably choose to come here over most watering holes in OB. Only problem is you have to spend about $ 30 on a men’s cut. I know it’s the going rate, but this guy isn’t cool with droppin that much loot on something I could get a buddy to do for free.
Single guys… if you’re struggling with the ladies lately, I’d recommend giving this place a shot. Even if you can’t score a number at the very least you’ll walk out with a smooth looking chop and smile on your face from all the flirtatiousness.
