Clip Art Salon

Long overdue! But I have to give Zach an awesome review. Not only did he color and cut my hair to exactly what I wanted and more, but he was extremely entertaining while doing so. I will definitely be back!

Love love love this place! The ladies who work there are amazing! Vicki did my hair and she was amazing. She took her time and listened to what I wanted and also had her own ideas in the end my hair came out awesome! I knew I could trust her to just let her do her thing. I wanted my hair to be a pastel pink but after trying a few times and different ways my hair would just not lift to the light blonde that we needed to do it and that was in no way Vickis fault. We are gonna try again in 6 weeks. So our plan changed we decided to go with a purple color. It’s beautiful there are so many highlights and lowlights in the purple. She took her time when cutting my hair and made sure it was even and flowed nicely. I have been to so many salons here in San Diego and this is the only one I actually plan on going back to. Can’t wait to see what Vicki does next with my hair.

Vickie where have you been? I’ve been following this talented stylist for sometime and just waiting for? Well I messaged her and she got back to me quickly just like her reviews said, impressed already. I was able to schedule an appointment the next week which NEVER happens! I’m now thinking who is plunking me? and why was that so fast? Clip Art Salon is a local salon located in Kensington on Adams which is a fun cut out in SD. I prefer to spend at small business shops when it’s possible so this was another plus. Did I mention how very picky I am about who does my hair? Like so picky I would drive back to Fullerton to only let my cousin cut and color every 8 weeks picky!
I highly recommend this talented young Lady Vickie and her partner in crime Klarissa these two clearly have a passion! Now if this recommendation makes it harder to get an appointment than um never mind don’t call!

First time customer here and I’m so satisfied with not only the cut and color of my hair but most importantly the customer service. At Clip Art Salon, customer satisfaction is truly guaranteed! I am a picky person but Vickie made sure that I left with what made me feel fabulous. Thank you for your time and patience. They do indeed value and appreciate first time customers and their regulars. I can definitely say that I can’t wait to go back. Til next time ;)

I decided to give this spot a try after reading the decent Unilocal reviews, being new to the area and needing to find a good stylist. The gentleman I spoke with that made the appointment was beyond courteous and friendly. My stylist-​Leilani was also very nice. However upon arriving on time for my appointment I was disappointed to have to wait over 20 additional minutes just to get in the chair. I guess she was running behind. Leilani used the clippers method which I’ve never seen before, but was open to trying… the cut seemed good but when I got home and tried to style my hair, I could see chunks of uneven-​ness :-/​I called the salon and was invited back so it could be evened out. Upon arriving at the time she asked me to return, she informed me it would be a bit of a wait again. At that point I didn’t feel like waiting again so I left. I just felt it was unprofessional. I’m sorry to leave a bad review because she was so nice, but honestly this was not a good haircut.

Very friendly staff. Went in for highlights but in the end, it doesn’t look like there was any change. Like nothing was done and we paid so much for it. So I contacted the Stylist and she offered to redo (get it?) it again no charge. That’s awesome service, proving satisfaction guaranteed

I came across this salon when I googled best curly hair stylists in SD. I reviewed the other Unilocalers pics and saw what a great job Vickie had done. I got her number and texted her, she made time for me that very day! I thought that was so cool, the appt was at 8:15 on a Friday night. I asked if that wasn’t too late and she told me she leaves when the work is done. Such a great attitude to have.
Now down to my cut I was SOOOOO scared to cut my hair short and get rid of my bun but she made me feel very comfortable and did a really nice job. I will mos def be going back. It was a little more than I’m used to paying for a haircut but you get what you pay for. I’m super glad I went and am thinking about dying it next time I go see her. Pay the extra $$ and go to Vickie. It’s worth it!

Leilani was amazing! I came in for highlights and lowlights. She listened to everything I had asked for and was very accurate. It’s been a long time since I have had a hair stylist as great as her. I have already had a bunch of compliments and I’m very happy!!!

Zach did it, again! This time, I came in with a picture of a long ombré hair cut/​style/​color. We figured out how to use my natural color as the base, and then bleach and tone to achieve the ombré — it’s gorgeous, my hair isn’t damaged, and it completely exceeded my expectations. I feel like a new woman!

I got a haircut from a stylist that used a method I’d never seen before. She never once touched scissors – she used an electric clipper to cut my shoulder-​length hair! I was VERY nervous about this when she first told me about it, but the cut turned out fine! I guess it makes sense – what does it matter if someone uses scissors or an electric cutter – it does the same thing. However, my cut is rather simple, like a bob without much layering, so if you have a more complicated cut I’m not sure how well this would work. Before coming here, I would recommend asking how the stylist will cut your hair in case you are worried about the electric clipper thing. But have a little faith, because mine turned out fine. :)

The place is in a nice area with available street parking. Vikkie does my hair and she is amazing! She is so nice and comfortable to talk to. She knows how to lift your hair enough without excessive damage. She does a great ombré and highlights! She is amazing at vivid colors! I love her and would recommend her to everyone!

Its always a risk letting someone new style your hair. But Zach was definitely worth it! He was very personable and knowledgeable and made sure he was clear on what I wanted and how we would go about it. I could not have been happier with the results I went from a slight hombre to a red hombre with a trim. And the head massage during the shampoo was a bonus. I was able to easily get an appt and the prices were reasonable for the services I received. The vibes of the salon were good too with some awesome tunes! I am proud to say I have a new stylist and can’t wait to go back.

I recommend this place for anyone! I’m really picky and get nervous when finding a new stylist but I absolutely loved klarissa! I got a Brazilian blowout and for anyone who wants to get it done it’s the best decision I made, it’s well worth the cost. I have very thick hair and it’s hard to manage in the mornings, this definitely is going to minimize the time to style. My hair is so straight now, shiny and soft! The smell is pretty bad but it was bearable. Thanks klarissa! I’ll definitely coming back.

Last minute haircuts are not an easy feat but! This salon was definitely on their game. They were closed but upon receipt of my call, they had a cosmologist come open up shop! Say what?! YES!
Not only did Zach give us two awesome cuts, he took his time and we had a great time at the salon. This guy was an awesome conversation and truly made the experience for us.
I walked away not only satisfied with my cut but super happy about both of our cuts and I will be a returning customer to this establishment.
A very awesome job done. Thank you

If you do make an appointment make sure to leave early. There is limited parking. I was lucky enough to find parking in front of the salon. My appointment was with Vickie who was great! She was attentive to all my needs and gave me exactly what I was looking for. I had mentioned that I have Folliculitis and she was very gentle with my scalp. She was easy to talk to and gave me some great tips. I will be making my future appointment s with her!

I had super long hair that I had completely neglected. Vickie was able to see me the same day and listened to me when I told her what I needed. Due to medical conditions I am unable to style my hair and needed something that I could wash and go and also still be able to put up in a ponytail for simplicity’s sake. She did an awesome job. (See the before and after picture!) My hair feels wonderful and that makes me feel wonderful. Thanks Vickie!

You must go to Vickie Padilla! She’s such a cool person who definitely knows what she’s doing. She made me feel very welcome and comfortable at my appointment. I went in for a much needed hair cut and she did a fabulous job. My hair looked so much healthier afterwards and it was all thanks to this awesome chick. Definitely recommend getting in contact with her! I found her via instagram :) #igotlucky

You must go with Vickie Padilla! She is amazing, completely changed my messed up birds near hair to beautiful healthy hair. She makes you feel relaxed and she always makes sure you get what you want. Her price is reasonable and it’s right on the heart of Kensington. She’s a miracle worker, yeah that’s how awesome she is. Vickie Padilla!

So a stylist friend recommended a particular brand to turn my dishwater blond hair BRIGHT PINK. Problem was, said stylist friend lives out of state, so I turned to the product website to find a stylist. I found Vickie @ Clip Art, and I am SO GLAD I did!!!
The salon was clean and welcoming. I’m a fan of the North Park area, and there is plenty of street parking in the middle of a week day.
Vickie was friendly and knowledgeable and really excited to cut off a LOT of my hair and do such a fun color. She was very open with what she was doing, and whether I was okay with it, checking length before cutting it off (before and after pics are in the gallery). She was also very attentive to my comfort level which I appreciated. I’ve been scalded and frozen by shampoos before. Not so with Vickie! It felt like visiting with a friend, who was also a super great stylist! I am in LOVE with my cut and the color turned out better than I had hoped for. I cannot WAIT to go back. I have definitely found my hair pro, and I would recommend her to anyone!

«Leilani ROCKS! Finally someone that can cut my hair! I am so happy that I took a chance and bought the Groupon Leilani had advertised. Going back for color and highlights. Can’t wait! No more searching, no more disappointing cuts.»
Update: got my color and highlights and couldn’t be happier! I’ve received so many compliments on my hair. Definitely the best cut and color I’ve had in a very very long time!
