Lisa Beauty Salon

Susie, Susie, Susie!!! She is the best hair stylist and color artist I’ve ever, ever encountered. I used to spend $ 200 — $ 220 (including tip) and have been to all the upscale salons in San Diego, e.g., Diamontes in Mission Valley; Kensington Salon; Diesel Salon; On Hair Drezzers on Fire — and the list goes on and on – NO ONE, NOT ONE STYLIST in any of these expensive ritzy salons met my needs
While getting a fabulous pedicure from Yvonne, I saw a client of Susie’s and asked Susie, «Did you do her color and highlights initially?» When she responded, yes, I made an appointment immediately. I have NEVER EVER been so completely satisfied with the color and highlights which covered all my gray, but look so natural but noticeable.
Thank you Susie — I’ve found a true hair stylist/​color artist for life!!!
And thanks, always, Yvonne, for doing such a great job on my pedicures!

I had never noticed this place before and went in on a whim because I drove by and saw a sign for «grand reopening»
I should have left when they told me that I had acrylics on when I had a gel manicure, but I didn’t. The manicure tools were not in a sterilized pouch, which made me nervous. Two strikes why didn’t I leave??? I got the most sloppy gel mani of my life. When I mentioned the gel was lumpy the technician said it was my nails and she couldn’t do anything about it. She got the gel all over my cuticles and the skin around my nails. Check out the photo
I actually left this place and drove straight to another salon where they took off the bad gel and started over. Don’t go here.

Omg I will not ever come here again I walked in and what do I see BLOOD on the couch ughhhhh how disgusting is that I wouldn’t recommend this «salon» on my worst enemy!!! Seriously people lets clean it up!!!

For all my girls who want straight hair! Lisa’s salon is ALWAYS available except after they close at 7PM. They wash your hair while massaging your scalp and I must say their flat iron is PERFECT! They get down to the roots! My hair lasts about 3 – 7 days depending on when I want to wash it. I am half African American so I do have coarse, curly hair but is not a factor! Only 30 bucks for a wash and flat iron! Definitely must get your hair done here!

I have been going here for 2 years. I get manicures, pedicures, eyebrow waxing and haircuts. I have recently started taking my 8 yr old daughter for manicure and pedicure. We both love this place.

This was the WORST manicure I’ve ever had! The place was dirty, the staff was rude, it’s been 2 days and all the gel is chipping off. They don’t tell you cash only until after. In the middle of my glorified paint job the girl got up and got her eyebrows waxed. Do NOT go here.

My wife went in to get her nails done. The place is disgusting, and they do terrible work. They cut her finger and blamed her for the injury claiming it must be because of her dry skin. The woman then tried to use a dirty towel to clean the injury. The nails were filed unevenly, the gel polish was lumpy, and she got polish all over her hands and on both sides of her nails. They had her leave with wet toenails. Two days later, the nails are peeling.
In addition, all the women who work there sit around giggling and acting like children instead of acting professionally.
This place should be shut down for being unsanitary and unskilled.
DO NOT GO HERE. EVER.

I have been coming here to see Suzie for over 3 years for my hair color, cut and wax. She does a better job than any other stylist in San Diego that charges at least 3 x that she does. It’s a very small salon whose clientele I can tell you aren’t on Unilocal otherwise they would give the same. They have very loyal customers! Maybe more of them can help them get started on here. Kim is really good too. My husband gets his haircut here every 3 weeks… and we live in la mesa!

If I could give this place negative stars I would! I just went to get my nails done and it was the most terrible experience ever.
Just a tip to the lady who did my nails… DON’T TALK ABOUT YOUR CLIENTS IN FRONT OF THEM! Especially when they speak Vietnamese and can understand everything you are saying! So extremely rude and unprofessional. You should’ve been lucky I even tipped you.
She didn’t listen to anything that I asked for, I even had a picture and she still shaped my nails square like she wanted and not what I wanted! Then she proceeded to say something rude in Vietnamese and was so fake sweet in English. I would never come back or recommend this salon to anyone. They are so careless and inconsiderate.

I will never return again. I got a gel manicure, pedicure, and a hair updo for a wedding done here. It only been 4 days my pedicure is chipping and they didn’t scrub my feet or massage me much. My gel manicure which the lady tried to charge me more then the advertised sign is already ruined and chipping. It’s suppose to last 2 – 3 weeks and when I’ve gone to other places it has lasted much longer. Worst of all was the hair updo, not only did the girl not listen or pay attention to the picture I wanted she burned my forehead with the curling iron and bad enough where later on I blistered and now there is a scab. All she did is said sorry and still charged me full price for the incorrect updo that I literally got burned on. Place is hot, ghetto, and cheap. Basically you get what you pay for. I will never return because I learned my lesson! I rather pay the extra money and feel welcome and have quality beauty treatments done. Don’t get fooled by the sign on the door saying $ 15 gel manicures. They will try to charge you more as if your a moron and can’t read the sign outside and the quality is very poor, it will be peeling and ruined in days. This salon makes their money off of quantity not quality so don’t let yourself be one of the suckers that gets reeled in by the cheap prices.

Don’t come here to get your gel done. First of all, it’s hot as pie in there. The lady who did my nails was older, nice, but the language barrier was a little difficult. She did my French tips with regular (cheap) nail polish then covered it with clear gel. I asked her about it, and assured me that it’ll last a long time. The selection of nail polishes by the way, are bad. A lot of them were cheap brands, and a lot of them were running out. So. 2 days later, my nails start chipping and peeling.
I call back to tell them and they say I can come back to fix it. They say it was because i wash my hands too much. but ive gotten gel done before, and ive never seen it peel that much. I end up getting it redone. But I picked a colored gel to avoid them using regular nail polish. They gave me a hard time about it, and insisted I pay $ 10 to have it redone… For something they messed up on.
Thennn when I had my hand under the uv light, I noticed air bubbles on 2 of my nails, and let them know. And at first she kept insisting it wasn’t there. But it was. Because she unwillingly sanded them off. Then painted regular clear nail polish over the gel.
Andddd made me pay $ 10. Worst nail service ever.

I went here on a whim, I mean 15 gel manicure it seemed like a no brainer. This place is where time stopped. It’s beyond filthy and the women are unprofessional. My «gel» manicure is already chipping two days in and the woman who gave me my manicure cut me so bad. I would not recommend to my worst enemy. Pay the extra $ 20.00 somewhere else.

Lets keep this short and simple.
As you can see from my profile pic, I need eye brow waxing. lol
So, here is my review of my first eye brow waxing experience.
Walk in, not greeted. Wait at counter for a few minutes then someone finally asked me if I wanted a hair cut. I said, «No, eye brow waxing please» She said okay and never. came. back. .
I stood around listening to them talk and watching a few employees sit in the chairs. So, I waited. then I waited a bit more.
17 minutes later I walked out with no eye brow waxing and not wanting to return.

Super cheap eyebrow waxing and I never have complained.
This place is super close to my house, so that’s a plus.
I got my first haircut there this morning and it was pretty good. I did say just ½ an inch, but I guess it translates to 3 inches… For some reason I trusted Sarah and just went with it. I am surprisingly happy with my cut! It cost only $ 20 for my waxing & cut.
I have had a manicure here once — it is very cheap and certainly not the best I’ve had, but what can you do?
Overall: The women are all very sweet, eyebrow waxing is good, and I am quite pleased with my new haircut. Also, it’s cash only.

I want to first say that I’m a guy and I’m not really picky about my haircuts. My intention when finding a haircut place was to find somewhere cheap because I believe getting a haircut for 20+ dollars every week is insane.
Anyhow, I want to say that I get my haircut from Nancy and I think she is the sweetest thing. She is the only person I go to at this shop. Granted, it is very much a hole in the wall and maybe it could use a little spring cleaning. However, the price is great. I get my hair snipped for only 8 dollars and Nancy is always pretty fast.
All in all I recommend this place if you’re not looking for anything fancy. Parking is a bit of a pain sometimes too.

Nice lady’s, but kind of fibbers. They asked me who recommended me to them and I took a girls name of a review I liked about Lisa’s and they acted like they knew exactly who I was talking about. I wasn’t lying when I said the girl’s name because she did kind of refer me. Anyway, I got good service. I got a mani/​pedi for $ 22 (which is way cheaper, cause last week I paid $ 30 for a pedi) and a hair color for $ 35. Kathy did a great job and she’s really funny. I like how she puts her iPhone in her bra to hold it. I’m also taking one start because they don’t take CC. Boo, cause I never carry cash. But if you’re looking for a place that’s cheap and quick, go here. They have a lot of loyal customers. Street Parking sucks, so come on a Sunday when there isn’t a time limit on parking.

I got a full set of highlights, root touch-​up, and a pedicure for $ 85. Nancy is super sweet and does a great job. Everyone at work likes my highlights and so do I. She cuts a little more than what you ask her to though, so be careful.
The place is old and not modern at all, but if you are looking to spend a little less without people knowing, come here.

I’ve been to this salon 3 times (cheating on my stylist in order to save money) and have been disappointed twice. This last time, I’m wearing a hat until I see my stylist because of how badly messed up my hair is.
First off, the place is dirty and the customer service almost non-​existent. I can deal with the fact that the place needs a face-​lift, but it’s actually not clean. They are using towels with holes in them and I don’t see any sterilization of equipment going on at all. I saw a booster chair for a child that was covered in hair and dust. When you walk in the door, you’ll be lucky if someone even says hi to you. A lot of times, many of the employees just look at you blankly, expecting you to shout out why you are there.
As for my hair, the woman first colored it, turning it orange, and then when I argued with her that I told her I didn’t want it orange, she told me it was gold and that I hadn’t asked her to not make it gold. Then she proceeded to bleach it into oblivion, so now it’s bright white. I am not happy. I won’t be going back.

I wanted so badly to get my $ 10 haircut then go brag to people at work and make them feel stupid for all the money they pay for haircuts.
It wasn’t to be.
I’m not very picky about my haircuts so I was pumped to read the mostly good haircut reviews for this place. I walked in without an appointment on a Friday lunch hour, and was able to get my haircut right away. Lisa was a nice lady. She was really fast too. I told her I wanted about an inch off my hair. She cut a lot more off than an inch. Seriously, on the sides I think she cut more like FOUR F-​ING INCHES. I’m pretty bummed because I was growing my hair out and I feel like it really set me back. It used to be a couple inches past my shoulders and now it’s barely on my shoulders! I look so stupid! And for some reason, she cut the back longer than the sides? I really hate it and am so mad at myself. I uploaded a picture showing the before and after. The before picture isn’t really clear, but you can see I suddenly now have a shoulder length bob (with longer hair in the back)
Maybe I should have been super more specific and told her to leave it as long as possible.
Anyway, it’s still hard to beat the price point. if you don’t give a frick about whether it comes out right, I’d recommend this place. Just be sure to be specific. For me, I think I’m gonna have to go get my hair cut again to fix it. Now I’m going to have to get a chin length bob instead of the hair I used to have past my shoulders…
When you’re done, you can get a yummy sandwich across the street at Old World Restaurant.

I have been going to Lisa Beauty Salon for about 12 years since it first opened and everything was nice and new and spotless, that was when I first discovered Nancy, she first did my eyebrows on day when I felt like spending 5.00 on myself on a whim, she did something incredible! she got an arch in my eyebrows that in all my life I have NEVER been able to do or duplicate, so I would go to her every few weeks to clean me up and set me right again. Sooooo, one day I come in with a new haircut, she of course notices and asks «how much you pay for that haircut?» I said 40.00, she say «I can do that haircut for 5 dollars» I must of had that look of «yeah right!» then she said, when your haircut starts growing out, come to me and I will keep it up for 5.00! I said «you have got a deal» and I kept coming for 12 years, in between I brought my 3 boys for their haircuts (but they got Rosa) and nancy kept doing my hair, when my styles changed she changed them, when I started highlighting my hair I got the price of 40.00 (she did my hair in my profile picture) and now that I live in milwaukee I have to pay 120.00 for the same job, so you can imagine how I miss her, but you bet your buttons when I come in December for the Christmas on the Prado, she will be my FIRST stop when I get off the plane!
But as for nails, well I started using a woman that I do not want to mention by name back then, she used to be good and really fast, but over the years she got very opinionated and sloppy with nails not straight, always trying to sell me a new set instead of a fill, and leaving me half done while she pulled in other people to start on, I don’t want to argue with my nail tech with what I would like to have done, or have to tell her to keep buffing my nails because I can feel the grains on them, I just started going to another shop up on 30^th and madison, they take longer but the job is done wonderfully, but as for Nancy she is a true find and I miss her bunches!!!
