Jet Rhys Hair Salon

I hope an other salon has not closed, I know people here and I would love to rent them space at my salon HAIR BY STACIE on MIramar rd call me if anyone is interested! 858−740−6826.

I hope this place hasn’t closed down. They did such a great job on my hair.
I heard of these guys through a professor in college and he referred me to them. Melissa who was a level 2 stylist at the time did my hair and she did great! I returned a few times and she always had something fresh to deliver!
Her style was urban, but also helped express my artistic personality. That would be sad if they closed down.

Amanda is my GIRL! I’ve been coming to her for about 2 years and she saves me! No brassiness, no bad foil lines, just pure blonde awesomeness!!!

Shout out to stylist Ricky at Jet Rhys in the Hillcrest salon for my masterful cut. I have thin, difficult hair and he gave me the most adorable cut imaginable — quite short (which freaked me out at first) but very modern and so simple to take care of. The best part? He was very honest in terms of pictures I brought in of haircuts I liked — what would work, what wouldn’t for my hair type — and because he listened! to what I wanted, I walked out ecstatic. If your hair is thin and fine, this is a man who knows how to handle it. I couldn’t be happier. And his price is astoundingly low for his level of talent (IMHO). My husband said it’s the cutest my hair has ever looked in all the years he’s known me.
With my hair so short, all the blonde was gone so Brock took over. He took my hair almost platinum, and although it looked just beautiful, my husband thought it was too severe. Not a problem. Within 24 hours I was back in Brock’s chair and in an hour he transformed the color to soft blonde with beachy highlights that looked amazing.
BTW I found Jet Rhys through an ELLE article (I’m from out of town) but followed up with Unilocal reviews and everyone seemed to be really happy. Add me to that long list!

I’ve been seeing Christina since about 2007. Christina is awesome, very friendly, down-​to-​earth, personable. Christina is extremely detailed oriented, typically spends one+ hours on my haircut alone. She always listens to what you want but likes to give her unique spin on the style. You always end up loving it even if you were a little skeptical at first. I’ve gone from medium length to extremely short and back to below shoulder length again repeatedly over the last 7 yrs. Christina is always able to make the growing out stage look great and that is hard to do. I also had color done there with several different colorists and never had a problem, if anything, I would want more drastic intense and they were typically more conservative. I’ve been dark brown to platinum blonde and never disappointed until I pushed for the platinum which just didn’t suit my skin tone. I’ve also had the Yuko straightening which is fantastic, time intensive but the results are unbelievable, silky, straight awesomeness. The price is worth it. I’ve tried lots of other salons for cheaper and it was always majorly disappointing. Jet-​Rhys always wants to make things right for you.

Love this place!
Kayci did my cut, and it looks great! She didn’t take too much off because she knew that I’m trying to grow out my hair. My bangs, which are always hard to cut, came out perfectly straight (which is rare). She’s going to do great things for this salon, I can tell!
When I decided to come back for color, Amanda did it. My hair was 3 different colors when I came in. I had about a half inch of roots, then some red, then brown, then a light bleached brown at the tips. It was a disaster to say the least. I told Amanda I wanted it all the same color and she gave me an amazing, uniform red. My hair actually feels healthier and looks shinier from her dying it!
I’m not sure why people are in a huff about the staff. Everyone was super nice to me. Jet, one of the owners personally made sure Amanda was using the right dyes and gave her great advice on how to color it perfectly. She’s a total sweetheart.
It takes a lot for me to trust a hairdresser and salon, but I can easily go back without the normal apprehension knowing that I’ll leave with a great cut or color!

Go to Quinn!!! Love her. She knows Ombré like NO OTHER. Love this salon, and all of their employees. Highly recommend it.

This is hands-​down the best salon in San Diego. There are no booth rentals to be found here. This is a set of highly-​trained and skilled cutters and colorists who know their business. Education is big here and the results show it.
Ask for Brock for color. He’s a master at subtle highlights and his client communication skills are suberb. He somehow managed to tease out of me what I didn’t like and offered some great suggestions.
I go to Jessie for cuts and could not be happier. She spent a lot of time talking about the texture of my hair and what she thought would look best. She’s a great listener as well and crafted a great cut.

Came here 3x… should have stopped after 1. My hair is not complicated. Blonde. Wavy. Long Layers. The only ‘unusual’ thing about it is that I have a lot of it.
That being said– I don’t want to rant, I just want to post anything that may be helpful for other people who like me care enough their hair to pay this kind of money for it. So here are the 3 visits in a nutshell:
Visit 1– Nothing bad happened. Nothing good either. The girls (that is plural because you have 1 colorist and 1 stylist) were nice. But you could not really tell I had anything done. Could see my roots when I got home. Haircut not as refined as I thought it was in the salon. No biggie but a disappointing $ 200…
Visit 2– Gave some hints towards what I would like done «differently». Same thing happened… with the color. My bad because for some reason I cannot see this in the mirror there, only the next day when I’m home. Apparently I need glasses.
I could however see the cut. It looked like a mullet. The top layer was cut SO short, and the bottom was left long. I mean. at least.4 inches longer. Literally a mullet. So I left with roots and a mullet.
Visit 3– I thought it was only fair to communicate more directly since I didnt on visit 2 (probably out of shock). So I went back again. Stupid I know. My colorist left, so I had a new one and the same stylist. This time I was over-​processed. To the point where I couldn’t style it for the next 3 mos because the ends were so fried, and even a ponytail showed that damage. Still had roots though. And the mullet was grown out to about 3 inches separation so that remained the same, with a trim.
The layers around my face were also done backwards. Whoopsie. Now even the redeeming hair around my face is upside down.
Went to Diesel. They fixed it. And they are slightly cheaper (which I don’t care about but was a nice bonus.)
Go to Diesel.

***WARNING NEVER GO HERE THEY ARE VERY SNOOTY AND ARROGANT, LACK COLORING SKILLS AND OVER CHARGE FOR BAD WORK.
I found this place on Unilocal since i was new to the area and wanted a new look for the summer.
Went in to see Samantha for a color, i asked for subtle, ombré highlights showed her 15 pictures with the effect i was going for and that my hair has been colored with a deep dark red in the past. She said she completely understood and started doing my hair. after the shampoo my hair was orange, i told her it looked orange and she said its just the lighting.
PAID $ 150.00 and two days later washed my hair and it was every more vibrantly ORANGE. Cried myself to sleep and called in to get an appointment, she said that she told me it would turn out orange and claimed that she had told me beforehand.
long story short refused to refund me and claimed it was my fault???

I don’t think I’ll ever get my hair cut anywhere else so long as Candice stays there. The first time I went to Jet Rhys because a friend recommended the place and because of the awesome reviews. Candice cut my hair and I still remember it even though it was like 2 or 3 years ago because I came in near closing, with pictures, showed her what I wanted, and she literally spent like an hour and a half cutting my hair and giving me exactly what I wanted. It was the best haircut I’d ever gotten. And she was so nice and not too chatty.
And then I went off to grad school and then got my hair cut at a salon in Davis, which I did really like but it didn’t grow up out so well. With Candice’s haircut I didn’t need to get my hair cut again for like a year, or well probably like 8 – 10 months but I’m so lazy so it wasn’t like until a whole year before I went and got my hair cut lol. But anyway, this salon in Davis did a great job too but my hair was looking awful and shaggy again after like 5 months. So I waited until I was home for spring break and made another appointment with Candice. And she did a great job again even though this time I didn’t bring in any pictures and wasn’t really specific about what I wanted. It did end up being a little shorter than I wanted, but that I feel is something that should be expected because you have to give them a little room for mistakes. Plus, I’m the type of girl who likes my hair really long, like at the small of my back, so everything seems short to me. But anyway, it’s been a month since my haircut and it’s growing out very nicely.
Oh and I also got a free treatment there because of some Unilocal offer and they were super nice about it. And one last thing, I LOVE how they do not push their products on you! I’ve gone to Gila Rut, an Aveda salon a few times in the past, and while I did like the haircuts I got there, they were so pushy and aggressive about getting you to buy their Aveda products. Like to the point where I was uncomfortable. Not that I don’t like Aveda (their products smell awesome!) but I’m not there to go shopping for hair care products lol. Granted this was probably about 5 or 4 years ago and hopefully it’s not like that anymore, but Jet Rhys is definitely not like that. You come to get your hair cut and they cut your hair and that’s it. Funny how something so simple like that could be so appreciated.

If you want to spend a small fortune on your hair, come here. Jet Rhys is a little too corporate for my taste, and I found their «looks are everything» artwork on the wall banal and annoying. About three years ago I came here and got great results with a certain stylist, but he left. I kept coming back to Jet Rhys to various stylists and left with mediocre-​ish results and a huge dent in my wallet. And I consistently get emails from Jet Rhys stating that yet ANOTHER stylist has decided to «move on.» You have to wonder why employees are always leaving…
Although my encounters with Jet Rhys employees were always good (they were sweet and attentive), the hefty price tag just wasn’t worth it, especially since I achieved the same, if not better results at a much lower price at a different salon.
Bottom line, I wasn’t impressed. I went to Double D Salon (also in Hillcrest) and got great results for about $ 100 less. Granted, I didn’t get to watch runway shows portraying the «season’s hottest trends» from a TV stationed on the ceiling as I got my head massaged by a frazzled assistant, but I’m pretty sure I can live with that

I’ve gone to many hair salons and never had a great hairstylist. I met Candice last year, and she is awesome, super friendly and outgoing! I have a simple hair cut: long layers, but surprisingly, many hairstylists that I’ve had in the past do not make the layers flow proportionately. Candice does an excellent job cutting/​trimming and checks meticulously –even after the cut and dry– to ensure that the layers align perfectly. I like that she takes her time to really make sure the cut is right. I get a trim every 3 months or so, and it’s about 70 with tip. Even though it’s a little pricey, it’s definitely worth it. I always leave happy and satisfied!
The Salon is extremely accommodating: the people at the front desk are attentive to customer needs, provide water or tea, and are a friendly group!

Best salon I’ve ever been in San Diego! I had been looking for a stylist for the longest time since my previous stylist moved away and my thick curly hair isn’t something I trust to just anybody so a friend of mine referred me to Jet Rhys. From the minute you walk in you are offered water or tea and everybody is super nice! My first time there I had a vitamin C treatment to clean my hair from my previous and disastrous hair color job. I’m so glad Sam, my color stylist decided to do this treatment before, since my super black hair would’ve gone orange without it. yikes! My hair still felt like a million bucks when I left that day.
The second time I went, Ricki did my haircut and it’s MARVELOUS. It’s been almost a week since I had the haircut and I get compliments on it every day! Ricki is amazing and he certainly knows what he’s doing and listened to me 100%, unlike many other stylists who will treat you like a hair model. He’s very perfectionist and took his time to do my haircut, which I appreciated a LOT! Hence why my hair looks amazing and people ask me all the time where I got it done ;)
Today I went in for color with Sam and the moment she said hi to me, she said how excited she was to do my hair and from the get go explained to me what she can do and made great suggestions. I showed a picture of the hair color I wanted and she nailed it! I was super happy with it and I can’t wait to send her my before/​after picture through instagram. You’re never bored at this salon, since everybody is very nice and will talk to you at any time. Not to mention the layout is very neat and the online appointment form is amazing, you get a response the very same day and availability is pretty open too. They use several hair products and they are all great! They carry bumble and bumble and sojourn, which has biodegradable ingredients. Again, I left feeling like a million bucks :)
I’m a college student and this place isn’t budget friendly for everybody but it’s totally worth it! I’ll be coming back for more, perhaps a keratin smoothing treatment. Parking can be tricky, since it’s hillcrest but there are many lots around. Ricki and Sam are amazing at what they do and everybody there loves what they do. It’s amazing!

This salon was a life saver! I’m one of those people who goes a long time without getting her hair cut until I find the right stylist (I’ve been to so many places where stylists will nod and agree with everything you say, and then give you a totally different hair cut.) Thankfully, that didn’t happen to me here…
Instead I got a stylist (Brooklyn was her name) who listened to what I wanted and gave me some advice about what would look best. I was about to pay big bucks at another salon for a color makeover because I thought my hair had gone dull, but once Brooklyn gave me a new style I felt like my hair literally came back to life, corny as it sounds. What a difference a simple cut with a knowledgeable stylist can make!
Plus parking is a pain, but the place is neat and funky, without being snobby. Goes for the staff too… Will be back again for sure.

FINALLY! A place for a guy to get an awesome haircut! This place is totally designed for the working professional man. No drop-​ins are allowed — you have to schedule your appointment ahead of time which means NO WAITING! You get there, and your in the chair getting your cut.
Despite the quality service (Ricky Scapini) and outstanding atmosphere, this place is a little on the pricey side as you would expect from a Vidal Sassoon Academy salon. My haircut is about $ 45 when I’m done and I usually buy a little product for about $ 20. But then I add the tip (I usually tip my stylist well since she does a great job) and you’re looking at about bill for over $ 50 sometimes $ 60 bucks.
But believe me… it’s WORTH IT for the way you end up looking afterwards! Well worth the price IMO.

So… I’m a local San Diegan but never heard of this salon nor have I been here prior. I didn’t even look on Unilocal before making my appointment to do a drastic cut. Why did I even come here you ask? I met Jet and thought what a wonderufl person, I’m gonna give the salon a try.
Normally I don’t follow a salon but a specific individual who makes that salon as special as others may have have experienced… and that’s what I’ve come to discover of Candice. Jet sure knows how to employ them from the gal at the front desk to the one who tidy’s up the area; everyone was so warm and welcoming. They all had their unique looks and style which makes them stand out as individuals that fits in a colorful family unit. My stylist Candice was amazing… she’s so sweet and focus, determined to give you the best experience but was very meticulous in her cut and styling.
She would tousle my hair, then comb it out, spin me from one direction to next to make sure my hair sat perfect. She would ask questions regarding what I wanted and how I’d like my hair and then would give me options. I came in wanting to cut off 12 inches to donate to Locks of Love and well. the end result was amazing…
I would higly recommend this place with product knowledge, styling technique and excellent customer service… two thumbs all the way up. check out the before and after picture I’ve posted.

I have been coming to Jet Rhys for 8 years. Recently, my favorite stylist, Dani moved away, so I was hesitant about switching to a new girl. Jen did an incredible job and gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. I get excellent keratin treatments from a few different gals and recently, Josie did a great color for me.
What I love most about jet Rhys is their commitment to professionalism. Everyone is extremely courteous and knowledgeable. they are all trained extensively outside the salon as well. The place is spotless and hip. Never pretentious, but high end and cutting edge!
Looking forward to many more years here.

God I miss this place. Since I moved up to LA, I can’t find any salon that comes close.
I started going to Jet Rhys years ago and would continue to go if distance wasn’t an issue. Melissa does amazing cuts and was even able to give me a style that works with my natural waves and eco-​hippy-​non-​blow-​drying ways. Aubrey does sensational highlights and gave me a great darker all-​over color that hid the roots when I grew my highlights out. I can’t recommend them enough. I love the Hillcrest location and close proximity to Buffalo Exchange for a quick shopping trip after. Yes, you’ll have to pay for parking somewhere (I like the lot in back), but it’s worth it for a great cut and pleasant staff.

Positives:
1. Nice staff & service
2. Great haircuts (I recommend Dani)
3. Great selection of Bumble & Bumble and other premium hair products
Negative:
No parking — you have to plan to arrive very early and be prepared to circle the block many times or pay to park in a pay lot 1 – 3 blocks away.
