Michael David Hair Design

I absolutely loved my haircut from Michael. It can be very hard to find someone who knows how to intelligently cut hair. Michael tailored a haircut to be very flattering for me specifically. When you find someone who cuts hair right– you can not let them go!

Been having my hair cut and colored here for years! All the stylists are great and it’s the friendliest place! Jen is the best too!

I have been a client for many years… around 10 or so. They used to be located a bit far from me, but the quality of the cuts were well worth the drive. Reputation, not location. Now that they are in RB, they are super close and I am so happy. Jennifer Harty is the best. She is my go-​to girl for brows and her facials are out of this world!

I have been going to Mike for years. He is amazing at everything he does. He gives an amazing cut and color each time. I am never disappointed. It is such a relaxing environment and I can always rely on a good laugh.

I’ve been getting waxed by Jennifer for over 10 years, and as any woman knows, it can be an uncomfortable process! I consider Jen like family now, and she truly has a magical touch. Filled with so much love and expertise, she’s always present and calming. I actually look forward to getting waxed! I recommend her so highly, and I love them both dearly. As both highly trained and talented people, they could give the salon a completely different tone, but they put the comfort and ease of their clients first and foremost.

I have been using both Mike and Jenn for 15+ years for my hair and skin. People ask what I do to keep my skin looking so great and my secret is Jenn’s facials and great products. She makes me feel like a queen when I am there! It is so relaxing to have her work on me. Mike has changed my cut for me many times and he is really good with different techniques to make it look as good as possible and still be easy to style myself. I wouldn’t want anyone else to cut it.

I have been coming to this salon for over 10 years. They are always friendly, kind and professional.
I’ve had acne problems for years. Recently, it hit a whole new level of cystic acne. Jen recommended products that worked magic. I had tried everything before and these products actually work and they are reasonably priced! I’ve been using them as she directed (she personalizes what I need over time) and my face has transformed. My acne has disappeared, and so have my acne scars.
Jen does an absolutely marvelous facial! It is so relaxing and she is so kind and friendly. She has over 20 years of experience as an esthetician and is absolutely fantastic. It’s such a treat and my face absolutely glows afterwards.
I’ve also gotten waxing done by Jen. She is so good at making sure she gets all of the hair and she makes the process as painless as possible. I love not having to shave and waxing lasts for weeks!
I’ve also been getting my hair cut here for the past 10 years. Mike is just unbelievable. I’ve gotten my hair cut a few other generic haircut salons (like Great Clips) and they always shear off 6 inches of my beautiful, long hair when I tell them to cut two inches. Mike always listens to what I want and he makes my hair look absolutely amazing and so healthy.
This place is truly an amazing salon and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for great services at fair prices! Give this place a try if you want any salon services done!

Michael at MDHD is the only «Hair Doctor» I trust. I have been going to him for more than 10 years. Each time I have gotten a different cut and color combination (I am easily bored), and it’s perfect every time. Really. I have short hair (anywhere from pixie to below chin-​length) so the details matter — you can’t hide mistakes in a short cut. Michael always knows how to give me a new style that is edgy yet professional so I never feel like the 40-​something I am. I get asked where I get my hair done often by other women with short hair. It’s hard to find someone who understands the details that make a great short women’s style in this city of long, layered, highlighted hair. Plus his color and cuts grow out so well, you never have a bad hair day.
The salon itself is small (3 stations plus a separate room for esthetician services). The décor is warm and modern, the music is great, and you will be offered a beverage while you wait. Don’t let the Rancho Bernardo location fool you — you will get a great style from someone who really cares about each customer.
Michael is booked way in advance, so once you get in, don’t leave without booking your next appointment. He is worth the wait!

I have been going to MDHD for over 8 years now for hair and skin services. The team at MDHD is amazing… if you want the best in the industry this is where you should go. Yes, the salon front may be small, but there is a reason why all the stylists and the esthetician are booked up week after week. Tip: book in advance to get the best appt times!
I have my hair done by Trisha, who has been my hair stylist since day one. She always makes my hair look great and takes her time making sure I am 100% happy. My esthetician is Jennifer, and let me tell you she is the best in the business! If you are thinking about getting a peel, go see her! You will no regret it! Everytime I go for a peel I come out of there looking 5 years younger!

I have been going to Jennifer for almost 2 years now to get my eyebrows waxed and tinted. I absolutely love the work she does! She is very knowledgable and friendly, and really listens to what you are interested in. She is open to hearing your feedback and adjusting the waxing accordingly. I never have to worry about my eyebrows looking too thin or feeling rushed through the process. She also has great feedback in terms of skincare, products, and referrals to other individuals in the personal grooming business. I always look forward to my appointments and to walk away feeling so much better about the appearance of my brows!

I have been getting facials with Jennifer, one of the owners, for years now (6 or 7 I believe). It’s about time I leave a review! She is by far the best I’ve experienced in San Diego. I’ve been to other spas and salons where the facial and results weren’t even close to Jennifer’s. I recommend her to all my friends, and I have friends that have been going to her for even longer than I have. She sincerely cares about her clients and this shows through her work. I only wish she was closer, but she is well worth the commute! :) She even mails me my products (which I swear by as well) if I run out before my next appointment. It’s a smaller salon that is out of the way for some, but I bet you’ll be glowing along with your skin after one of her relaxing and beneficial facials. My skin has never been better.

Jen makes my eyebrows perfect every single time I go in for an eyebrow wax. She is very funny and easy to talk to and never rushes or makes me feel unimportant because waxes do not cost a lot. Thanks Jen. Will happily keep tweezing with you for a long time to come. Michelle

Hands down best salon I have ever been to! Michael does amazing work! I will never go to another salon again. Jennifer and Michael are a great team and have provided and excellent salon experience.

Last week I came here for the very first time, having absolutely no idea I would walk away that day with my hair looking and feeling AMAZING. I’d had yet to try a stylist that would achieve my vision perfectly, but now I can readily say that Michael David totally rules.

I just went to Jennifer last week to get my eyebrows waxed, and I am so glad I did! I have been looking for someone good for a while now and so I thought I would check on Unilocal,and came across Michael David Hair Design. I read great things about Jennifer, all of which were true. Every other place I tried, they just wax them quickly and send me out the door. Jennifer did a full consultation, asking exactly what I wanted. She was so kind and I could tell she really cared. I have been trying to get my eyebrows to grow in better from years of plucking and not knowing what I was doing, and she helped set up a plan to get my eyebrows exactly how I want them to be. I am so excited I found her!

Well, I have been going to this salon for over a year now and I totally loved Tanaira as a stylist. However, they just ruined any chance they had of me going back again.
I made an appt 7 weeks ago in preparation for my vacation that starts tomorrow. Earlier this week I made the mistake of calling to see if there was a chance I could go in early tomorrow morning instead. That wasn’t going to work out so I VERY CLEARLY stated «ok, well then I guess I will keep the Friday appt.» Little did I realize this is like rocket science to the girl that took my call.
So of course when I showed up today for the appt, the moron that had taken my call had apparently removed me from the book and they have since scheduled someone else in my spot. So here I am 7 weeks of planning, color badly in need of a touch up and my idea of having straight hair on the trip shot. This is all occuring after busting my you know what so I could get out of work on time for this 4:15 appt.
So, no apologies, no explanations as to why this happened, just «sorry, she is already booked». So they can kiss me goodbye as a customer, which is a shame since as I mentioned, Tanaira is great.
I will be searching Unilocal again now for a new stylist. Hopefully the next will have a receptionist with better listening skills.

I have been going to Kristina for about 10 years, I’ve followed her to several places. Michael David is definately the best. The receptionist always knows me when I come in and offers me a drink. I’ve been going since they opened so all the stylists know me and chit-​chat. My mom and husband go here also. It’s considerably more than Fanstatic Slams, so if that’s what your looking for, you won’t be happy here. I think it’s worth the extra!

I’ve been itching to do something new with my hair for awhile now. All of my friends get their hair done here by Tanaira, even the guys! So I figured I had to give it a try. I came in not knowing what I wanted — like I told her, I just wanted something totally different. Somehow she read my mind (even though I wasn’t even sure of what I wanted??) Needless to say, I absolutely LOVE my haircut! The service at this salon is wonderful and there’s a great vibe. Like another person said, everyone does leave looking great, and I know I personally left feeling great as well. I can’t wait to go backk

I love this place. I look forward to the days I get my hair cut and/​or colored and I leave there feeling amazing. I can’t wait to get my hair shampooed and the relaxing head/​neck massage.(thanks Matt) Michael and Kristina take their time and make sure everything is perfect and you leave happy. I looked around for about a year for a salon when I moved to SD, before finding Michael David Hair. I have had people stop me and ask where I get my hair done, so you know it’s good.
