Salon Ardor in San Diego, CA

Best salon I have ever been to!!! They specialize in coloring Asian hair. I believe that all their stylists are well-trained and have their own specific style in how they do hair for their clients. I decided to get my haircut by Jen and instantly was drawn to her style and knowledge for my hair type. I'm also planning to get my hair lightened and she offered a lot of tips and education about maintenance of going blonde which I really appreciate. I feel like a lot of stylists at other salons don't explain the process as thoroughly. Such a relaxed and chill work environment. All stylists are always hard at work and make sure their clients are happy and satisfied. Really, any stylist is good at Salon Ardor! I recommend you check out their Instagram and do some research on each stylist before coming in so you know what you want.

Salon Ardor and all the ladies here are so sweet! I got a balayage and cut with Ashley and she did an amazing job! I've been to a few stylists over the years and have always shown them the same inspirational color. Ashley was the FIRST stylist to achieve this look while still preserving the integrity of my hair. During our consultation, she took the time to understand my current hair routine and how comfortable I was with maintenance. I have thick, dark hair and I haven't been able to find a place that was able to treat my hair without leaving it orange and brassy. Ashley made sure I was comfortable the entire time and I was even offered snacks and water during my visit. She wanted to make sure I was happy with the cut and color before I left the salon. What I LOVED about working with Ashley is that she took her time and was not in a rush. She is also so sweet to talk to and I enjoyed being in the chair while she did my hair. The seats and bowls here are also super comfortable so I didn't feel any discomfort while sitting in the chair or while waiting in the bowl. This salon is so different from the ones I've gone to before. You can tell that the ladies here are a team and that they genuinely care that you leave the salon happy. At the end of our appointment, Ashley recommended a few products to me and even used some during our appointment. I love that she did not pressure me to purchase anything and that she took the time to explain how and why she used each product. I'll be coming back in the future and recommending this salon to others, especially those with darker hair!

I love Salon Ardor!! I've been going to Cherry for years now and I can proudly say I trust Cherry with my life! She knows exactly how I want my hair and it turns out perfectly every time! Salon Ardor is a sustainable salon that curates perfection while also ensuring they keep the integrity of your hair alive and healthy. It's such a treat to come into the salon and know you'll be taken care of. They provide complimentary snacks and drinks which are so thoughtful and the front desk is really helpful in assisting you with those needs. Everyone is super welcoming, I love my Salon Ardor girlies!!

Looks like a really nice place, very clean and the pictures look like the artists do great work. I am active duty and was trying to get my hair cut as I am getting ready to be deployed and the shop is between my Home and work. I made an appt for sat at 1000 because my week days are unpredictable and my appt was not in their system. Huge inconvenience as it is not close to where I live. If you want an appt here just make a phone call to let them figure out their online appt system. The woman at the counter was very nice and they all seem nice, just call rather than book online.

When you walk into Salon Ardor, you're walking into great company. Seriously, everyone here is super friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming! :') I had an appointment today with Kiana! She's amazing, and her work today was the definition of TRUST THE PROCESS. She was attentive, communicative and told me what she was doing step by step, which I appreciated. She did a bleach wash, full color + blowout. I had black toner over red toner (yikes- IYKYK) with my dark hair growing out and wanted to achieve an all-over brown. Some stylists told me elsewhere that they could not achieve that color, and with some guidance from Cherry, Kiana entered the chat and made it happen. Thank you so much, Kiana! You're the best.
