Ceci Salon in San Diego, CA

I don't trust anyone with my hair--- I've had the same hair stylist for the last 10 years. But I decided to try out a new place on a whim while on a trip to SD. And they did not disappoint. Rich did an amazing job with my hair! Clearly can tell he is a master with his shears. Lovely shampoo and massage, and a beautiful blow out to match. I gave him free reign on what style he would like to do, and I couldn't be happier. I will be back again for sure!

Love! Love! Love! This salon is amazing! Always friendly, always accommodating and I am always thrilled with the results. They have been my go-to for several years now. Joanne is THE best and so nice. The salon is clean and there is plenty of space to wait for your appointment .

I would give no stars or negative stars if I allowed to do so.
I made an appointment with Richie for a single haircut. My appointment is 5:30 in the afternoon, and I got there at 5:15. He was working on another customer and asked me to come back at 5:40, fine, that's ok; Then when I got back at 5:40, Richie was not done with the first one still, I had to wait more and when he started, he rushed between us. Finally, the first customer left, and a gentleman came in the middle of my cut. I was shocked when he asked a lady to dry my hair and he started to work on that gentlemen (probably only 10 minutes after he arrived). I asked the lady" we done?", and she told me yes. Excuse me?

That was not the worst part yet. I showed a picture to Richie when I came in, and told him I want the similar layers, but what he did was just like cutting a straight line at the end of your hair. I would say when I cut my little daughter's hair at home, she got the same look, or even better, at least there were some short hairs in the front, there were layers! I insisted him doing some changes in the front, he did but at the same time he blamed me about I don't have a big hair volume so he cannot do the layers. Excuse me? I do layers all the times, and not long ago I was told by another barber in a different salon that it took more time to dry my hair because I had a big volume. I felt like Richie was rushing to get rid of me, so he simply did some cuts quickly and even let lots of hair fell on my face and my mask, first time ever!

I felt super regret to go back there again. To be honest, my last experience with Richie was not good either, he left lots of long strands and I had to fix it by myself. But he had good reviews in yelp and I decided to give him another chance, unfortunately it only proved I am a fool. The recommendation I would give to the people who will read the review is: don't do your haircut right before a vacation, if you really really want to do it, fine a good reliable barber.

I'm the type to typically dread getting haircuts since I never know what style to get, but they really know their stuff and helped me decide what I wanted to do. Looking forward to coming back next time!

Outstanding.  Joann was exceptionally fast and very skilled in cutting my hair.  My mom was a hair stylist and can spot talent.  Very pleased with my haircut.  Best cut I've had in a while.  Highly recommend Joann.
