Splash Salon and Art Gallery

You will not be disappointed! Frankie and her team of beauties are very talented and knowledgeable! I will only go to Splash!

A little over a week ago I had my first facial in over a decade and only the second one of my entire life. I have extremely sensitive skin and break out to just about anything outside of neutrogena face wash and sun screen for my face that I purchase from a dermatologist. To the most pleasant surprise I did NOT break out AND my skin never felt better! Amelia was AMAZING!!! She assured me she had product designed for temperamental skin like mine and while I was wary at first, her professionalism and knowledge put me at ease. The whole experience was great and if I could give this place 100 stars, I would! Thank you Thank you Thank you Amelia :) I will be back for sure!

I have been seing Amelia for eyelash extensions for a while now, and I have to say I am completely addicted! Amelia is amazing and always does an excellent job! My lashes usually last about 3 – 4 weeks, and I am constantly getting compliments on them! I have very short, straight natural lashes so the extensions were a bit heavy at first, but Amelia went above and beyond to get some smaller lighter ones for me that would last long and look great! I recently went on vacation and she gave me longer lashes for the special occasion! I love seeing Amelia at Splash salon! Her room is super cute and she is so easy to talk to! Not to mention this location is relatively close to my house so it’s always easy to head over for my appointments.

Amelia did my lash extensions and they are BEAUTIFUL! She really took her time and gave me exactly what I wanted. Super cute salon and awesome service. Thanks Amelia!!! I love them!

I have been coming to Franki for over two years now and my review is long overdue! Frank and her staff are amazing and so patient with me. I can’t tell you how many times I have changed my mind about length and/​or color and Franki always gives me what I ask for! She just gives off these positive vibes and trust me I have definitely given her a hard time over the years with all of my color and style changes!
I have naturally thin hair and get 3 bundles. Because I also dye my hair I change out to new bundles about every 6 – 8 months but if it wasn’t for me deciding to change my overall color, I think the hair would last much longer. The cost is so ridiculously reasonable and Franki always does her best to get you in. I have had her stay late, come in early and squeeze me in on weekends when i need it.
I am complimented all the time on my hair and I carry Franki’s card around for when people ask me where I get my hair done. I know they are asking about the color and style but they are always shocked to hear I have extensions. I choose to share the secret because everyone should know about Franki. She is that good and I will never go anywhere else. Look through her pictures here and on Instagram. They are amazing and you will leave her salon feeling sexier than ever!

Amelia gives the most amazing eyelash extensions! I leave with feeling beautiful with full and long lashes that are lasting. She is also so sweet and easy to talk to! I will be going to her for all future lash fills. I highly recommend going to Amelia for eyelash extensions!

Franki is an amazing talented stylist. She understands color/​tones like no other. My son wanted to go from dark blonde to platinum. Franki knew the perfect formula that would bypass any yellow or brassy tones. He loves it. Franki is the best stylist I have used since moving to San Diego.

Jennifer at Lotus Boutique (inside Splash Salon) does amazing Lash Extensions! She is so professional and a pleasure to talk to. She always leaves me with beautiful, full lashes that last so well.
She can do any range of looks, whether you want more full lashes or more natural– she can do it! She listens and takes her time with you, I never feel like she’s rushing through our appointment. I had been to various other lash artists before Jennifer, and they didn’t seem to be able to achieve a full look that actually lasted. Jennifer’s lashes last weeks. People ask me if I have just had a lash fill even though I have gone two weeks. She uses the best glue and products. Everyone always comments on my lashes now, and I can’t say enough good things about Jenn!

Always does a great job. Look forward to going to my next appointment. My extensions always look beautiful.

The moment I walked into Splash salon, I felt like I had been going there forever. Franki and Jackie both treated me like family from the beginning and have done a fantastic job on my hair, over and over again. What’s also great about them, is that they are reasonably priced, they will make sure that you’re 100% satisfied, even if that means re-​doing your locks. And if there is something that they feel like another stylist in the salon might be better at doing, they will recommend them for your hair. There is no sense of competition, just a mutual love of doing hair and having fun. Last but not least, these girls are compassionate. I host a clothing exchange each year, where all excess clothing is donated to various non-​for-​profit organizations. These ladies allowed me to use their salon for this benefit and helped in prepping, cleaning up and dropping off the donations. Talent and heart? Can’t beat that!
Thanks for everything, Splash!

Franki is awesome! I started going to her over 6 months ago. My best friend referred me to her, and after seeing her hair transformation, I was impressed. I have had a hard time finding a good hair stylist and colorist in San Diego. Prior to seeing her, I needed a hair re-​haul. I cut my hair short and was missing my long hair. I tried clip in extensions and they were started to destroy my fine hair. I met with Franki and we discussed color and she suggested that I try one bundle to fill in areas that had been damaged and add some fullness. We went with a cute short bob look and I loved it. And due to her recommendations on products, my hair has grown 4 inches in the less than 6 months-​which I’ve never seen happen before. We have added longer hair extensions to match and add fullness, and I’m extremely happy.

Franki is wonderful. She did a beautiful job with my color and is perfectly priced. I can’t wait for my next appointment. Also, the chairs where they wash your hair are amazing. They aren’t chairs more like beds!

Thanks to Pinterest and every celebrity chopping off their hair I’ve been bitten by the short hair bug. I got the best long bob and subtle but still noticeable ombré! If you’re looking for a stylist look no further.

I had my hair done by Franki today and she was fantastic! My hair was a disaster before I went in and she was able to work miracles. I am so excited to have found such a talented stylist. Im looking forward to my next appointment! My hair looks gorgeous!!!

I have been going to Frankie for 4 years now and have had nothing but positive experiences. I have had extensions several times and again no problems. My normal hair color is ash blonde and in the time of seeing Frankie, I have gone to dark mahogany, brown, red and back to blonde… again with no issue or complications. I trust Frankie with my hair and any crazy things I might want to try. She is very knowledgeable and has a keen eye for what may or may not work for a client’s hair. I have also had Jackie do several styles and blow-​outs for me which were nothing but awesome!!! These ladies are great people with beautiful hearts as they have helped me numerous times with charitable events I have been involved with, even showing up for moral support. I love Splash and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a UTD salon with people person attitudes.

Where do I even begin… Jackie cannot do hair for crap! I went in with dark brown (almost black) hair that I had dyed a few months back. The color was starting to come off on random parts of my hair, especially my ends. I thought it’d be fun to change up my hair & go lighter again, but I know that dark dye doesn’t always come out easily so I would’ve completely understood if I couldn’t go lighter. I just would have had her refresh the dark brown color if that was the case. I went in & showed Jackie pics on my phone of brown & blonde balayage/​ombré style colors. She said she could totally do that for me, and I was so excited. While I was processing Jackie kept telling me how great it was coming out every time she checked on the color. When we were at the sink & Jackie was toning my hair, Frankie (the owner) came by to take a look. & said that I still had dark in the entire middle section of my hair & that the only way to get it out would be to do a color correction. I was so annoyed when she told me that. As «professionals» they should know whether or not their clients need a color correction PRIOR to attempting to color them. Frankie said that most salons charge $ 100/​hour for color corrections, but she’d let Jackie do it for $ 80 on me. I thought I was getting such a good deal. I asked how soon I could do a color correction & she said to wait a week. Jackie finished toning me & took me back to the chair to blow-​dry & style. Once my hair was dry it looked RED! All the pics I showed her were brown & blonde! It looked absolutely horrible & nothing like the pics! My roots were red, the middle of my hair was completely dark (since they couldn’t get it out) & the bottom of my hair was also red. I kept telling them it looked red, but they kept saying it was just the lighting in the salon & that it wasn’t really red. Even though she completely messed up, she still charged me full price. I paid & hurried out of there because I was running late for my next appointment since the the process took an hour longer than Jackie said it would. When I got to my car I flipped open my mirror to check the color in the sunlight. Not only was it totally red, but Jackie left color all over my face, neck, & ears. I was so embarrassed going to my next appointment.
Another thing I should mention is that at the beginning of the appointment I asked Jackie to lighten my brows to match the color she was putting onto my hair. She said that I was crazy & didn’t need to dye my brows. I told her that the stylist always lightens my brows when I go lighter because my brows are naturally black. She eventually admitted that she didn’t know how to color brows, but still tried to tell me that I didn’t even need to lighten them.
I made my appointment for the color correction a week in advance, and could hardly wait because my hair looked so bad. Jackie texted me the morning of my appointment telling me that her 11 o’clock cancelled & that I could take that time instead of 5. I texted her back letting her know that I couldn’t come in that early because I already had other appointments booked earlier in the day since I was having surgery that week. She asked what was the earliest I could come in & I said 3:45. That time didn’t work for her, so she told me to just come at my original appointment time.
…One hour later she texted me saying that Frankie threw her back out & that we had to reschedule. First of all, what the hell does Frankie throwing her back out have to do with my appointment with Jackie? Second, it was SO obvious she was lying because she had kept pushing trying to get me to come in earlier.
When I finally came in for the color correction a week later, I really wished I hadn’t. Once again, Jackie messed up my hair. When I left the salon my hair looked really cute because she actually did a good job curling it. But as soon as I got home I started examining it, & saw that my roots were still red & there was still a ton of dark pieces all over my hair. I’ve gotten a color correction before & that’s definitely not what it’s supposed to look like. My last color correction took like 4 hours. Jackie spent less than 2 hours. It also really damaged my hair. Prior to the appointment they said it’d be $ 80 but ended up charging me $ 90 because they used Olaplex. They shouldn’t wait until they’re literally about to charge you to mention any extra fees. I cannot believe I paid full price both times to have my hair ruined…
Fortunately, I found someone last week that actually knows how to do hair & I will be going to them from now on. I don’t mind paying a little extra to have my hair done right.
I posted a picture for both appointments so you can see what a terrible job they did.

I have honestly gone to sooo many hair dressers in San Diego and Franki at Splash Salon is the only one who can give me the blonde I love without damaging my hair. I’m a complicated client because I have fine– dark Italian hair yet I want to be white blonde. Franki is very up to date on the products that make it possible for me to have this pretty color. She is also skilled in extensions; always using the best line and maintaining my natural hair along with the extensions the whole time they are in my hair. Not only is she a true artist in hair; she is genuinely a nice person. I leave smiling every time I go to her salon because of the experience I have in the seat; always making sure I have a beverage and am comfortable. Her positive vibes make me want to book my hair appointments sooner than later. Franki is hands down the go to hairdresser in San Diego.

Since posting my review, I received several text messages from Franki confronting me about my review. .VERY BAD BUSINESS TACTICS! Now she has a friend (Rachel R.) post a review commenting about my review. VERY TACKY. If you really are as good as you say you are Franki, then you shouldn’t worry about ONE bad review. Tell your friend that what she writes about the hair turning green may be a natural oxidation BUT since leaving your salon and going to another salon (Dream Catchers Certified) my beads have been changed out and my hair was NOT green! And then to say I went to another salon who wasn’t a specialist??? I guess your friend must have been following me to my hair extention appointments in order to know where I went? And yes she is right… It’s none of her business… she has NO idea about my experience except the one-​sided story from you Franki!
I thought Unilocal was for honest reviews and I feel that my review was very honest. That was MY experience and I have the right to share MY experience. I found Franki through Unilocal so I felt responsible to review my experience! This is all very disappointing!

Do you want beautiful hair? Go see these ladies
The salon is friendly fun and energetic and the girls that work there are the greatest. Whether you see Jackie Shannon Jen or Franki you won’t be disappointed.
Franki has been doing my hair for 4 years and I’m so happy and feeling gorgeous every time I leave! She’s a phenomenal colorist and an expert in hair extensions. When I’m walking in and see ladies leaving with the gorgeous trademark «mermaid hair» I know they’ve just been beautified at Splash!
Also for skin care Nikki does my waxing quick easy and almost pain free;) and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Hands down one of the best salons in town!

My all time favorite stylist, Franki, has just opened her own salon! I love this new space. The salon is super clean and comfortable. It’s located on the second floor of an office building. Very easy to find with tons of available parking.
I’m always so happy with my highlights and color. Franki offers the best hair care products that make my processed hair feel like silk. I always leave feeling beautiful! Thank you Franki!
