Robert Jeffery

I have been seeing Robert for years including once before a professional photo shoot and he is the best. He is talented and gifted and is able to take whatever ideas I have for my hair and make them better. If you need a haircut from a gifted stylist, Robert is your man.

I can’t even begin to tell all of you how incredibly talented Robert is. I’m the type of client that wants something different and he always creates something fun, beautiful, and edgy. I always have fun coming in and chatting. He is such a great person and easy to talk to. I love his inputs on my hairstyle. Thank you Robert, you’re the best!

I scheduled an appt with Robert after reading all his rave reviews on Unilocal.I’m sooo glad I did! My hair was over-​processed, over-​highlighted, over-​done. I was in need of a stylist who would go beyond the basic salon visit niceties, and help me figure out a game plan to nurse my hair back to quality. Such a stylist is HARD to find. Luckily for me, Robert did just that! He really took the time to go over my hair structure, what it could handle, and my best style options. I was impressed with his passion for hair, raw honesty, and dedication to his work. I left with a fabulous haircut, and gorgeous ombré color. Mission accomplished! BTW, Robert is joy to be around! :)

If you need an excellent hair cut by someone who will give you what you want, go see Robert Jeffery. I was used to guys cutting my hair the way THEY thought it would look best. Robert cuts my hair the way I want it cut and he gives an excellent cut every time.
Besides that, he is one of these people that you feel better after being around even for a short time. :) You get what you pay for, and Robert Jeffery is worth every penny!

I have been with Robert since 2001 and love his unique style and patience to make sure you get that great cut that looks good for you. I love the fact that he is not shy to say — no, that haircut will not look good because your facial lines won’t compliment it. It is totally awesome how much time he takes with you and wants your haircut to be the best for you. He loves to experiment with color too… so if you want to go bold or play it safe he is always willing to accommodate.

PHENOMENAL!!! Robert is the most talented hairdresser I have ever been to… I found him on Unilocal when I moved to Little Italy and am ecstatic that the salon is across the street too! He always does an awesome job on my cut and color, love my new ombré hair! thank you Robert!!! xoxo

Robert has been my hair stylist since 2000. I don’t consider my hair nor my styling needs to be particularly difficult but he does a great job with my cuts and color. He never takes offense that I wear it like a grunge mess, either:)
Over the past 12 years I’ve also known a lot of ladies that would see Robert regularly, while I always thought they were hot going in, they always came out looking «smokin’ hot» afterward (credit to Ricky Bobby, of course.)
On a completely serious note, he is a truly gifted stylist and artist, and just a great guy. I can’t recommend him more. Check out his before and after pics and try him out. You won’t be disappointed.

Does great eyebrows and will try to squeeze you in when he can!

I met Robert in September, 2011 and have had my hair cut and colored by him twice. Each time, I have been extremely happy with both the cut and color, and regard him as one of my lucky ‘finds’. Color can be difficult to match on new clients, but he managed to hit it right, first time.
Robert’s prices are not cheap, but he’s the real deal. As they say, you get what you pay for. He is a truly excellent hairdresser, a wonderful host, and extremely accommodating and pleasant to deal with. He is worth traveling for, but especially if you live anywhere near downtown, he’s a ‘must’.

Robert is truly an amazing and gifted artist. I’ve been going to Tonic for a little over two years now, and wouldn’t trust my hair to anyone else. He can do it all, no matter what hair type, color,…etc. He’s always focused 120% on me and super attentive to all my wants and needs. Also does awesome brow waxing! Love love love!!!

I have gone to Robert since I was 19 years old going to school in San Diego. I live in Arizona now and I still only go to him to have my hair cut and colored. He is absolutely fantastic. I have very long and thin hair and Robert is the only one who has been able to manage my hair all this time.
Robert is an incredibly gifted stylist and will go to any lengths to make a client happy. He has rearranged his schedule for me, stayed late, and I have walked out of the salon completely ecstatic about my hair every single time. He is truly the best there is.

Robert is absolutely fantastic! I started going to him for haircuts about 6 years ago and I’ve never looked back, even after moving 2 hrs away. He truly listens to what you want, but he also brings his own creativity and amazing sense of style to make every haircut something special. I can’t tell you how many compliments I recieve every time Robert works his magic! He really takes the time to get to know your hair and your sense of style in a way that I’ve never experienced with any other stylist, and he’s always so warm and friendly that every haircut is a wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend Robert wholeheartedly, give him a try and I bet you’ll never take your hair anywhere else!

Robert is truly gifted. His technique is precise and focused, but he also has a great eye for what’s beautiful and a sensitivity to your unique beauty. And he’s funny. He has some jokes while he’s doing your hair.
I’ve known this lovely man since maybe ’02 or ’03. During this time my hair has been long, medium, short, highlighted, lowlighted, gold, platinum, beige, and brown. Robert can do it all, you know, he isn’t stuck in one idea of what’s beautiful or what can work for me.
We’ve always had amazing hair cuts together, but, what I really want to focus on here is Robert’s ability as a colorist. He has an eye for color, and a talent for mixing color, that I’ve never seen in any of the other dozens of folks who have colored my hair. His skill with toner is shockingly good: it is almost too good to believe.
Also, he is the only person I would trust with corrective color. Once I dyed my hair black (um, don’t ask) and of course I wanted it to be blonde again. Do you know who worked it out for me? Robert. Yeah, it took time and we went through a series of treatments and looks, but it worked out. And, none of my hair got burned off or fell out. Most people probably won’t face something this intense, but I just want you to know that Robert has the confidence and skills to do it right.
I was platinum for a couple of years too, and living in LA, and this one woman was doing toner and lowlights on me because I wanted to change my hair color again. Well, it was a sad day when some of my hair got burned off. Really sucked, folks, really sucked. I got a hair cut up here, but what was I going to do about the color? Oh, guess it’s time to drive down to see Robert. Then I had tears in my eyes on the way back home because my hair looked so damn good. Oh, and I got married the following week and my color looked brilliant in the pictures.
I love Robert, and I recommend him without reservation.

Robert is fabulous! I went on a recommendation from a a friend when I was new to San Diego… you know how hard that can be-​finding a new hair stylist in a new city!
Robert exceeded my expectations. He is fun, friendly, and gives the best head and neck massage! Everyone always compliments me on my «do» after visitng Robert!
He keeps it fresh and fun… love my layers, love my highlights… love Robert! He gives me hair that looks great day-​to-​day and fun «party hair» for a night out!
Roberts true talent is in being a great listener, staying up to the moment in whats new in products and techniques in the industry and in tailoring specifically to each client– he has an eye for the perfect cut that fits each face ;-)
I have sent many friends to him and none have been disappointed!

I love Robert and have not gone anywhere else since seeing him for the first time. I have gone to Robert for over a year now. I was referred to him by my boyfriend who get greats cuts as well. Let me tell you that Robert is a great listener about what you want but takes it up a notch as a creative visionary. He is so talented that I get at least one new complement from a friend or strangers the week I get my hair done. He’s done amazing colors, cuts both long and short.
If you want more than a hair cut and a creative and well done job that maintains very well AND receives complements, go see Robert. After a few visits, you’ll not only be his client but friend as well.
He now offers waxing but I haven’t tried that (yet)

I’ve been searching for someone with magic fingers to cut my hair for years. I have naturally curly hair and, I don’t care what anyone says, it’s just hard to work with. Then I found Robert through a recommendation of a friend. Her long, straight blonde hair always looked phenomenal so I gave Robert a try too, why not!
He was very accommodating with my busy schedule. And to this day, he remembers that I don’t like to fuss with my hair and want an easy going cut, no matter the style. Robert is the best. He is very detail oriented and worth every penny. I leave the salon with fantastic hair every time. He really knows how to make it work. His pricing isn’t more than one would find at any other salon around town. I wouldn’t dream of going to anyone else. Thanks Robert!

Robert is BRILLIANT!
He truly loves cutting hair and it shows in every detail of his work. His attention to me while im with him, he never doubles up with another client for the simple fact of him wanting to be 100% present for me. I Love that. He is always up to date with style and trends and just love to come up with something I’ll love. Ive come to realize why spending a little more and having your hair done by someone who is specially trained is important. My hair grows out better and I dont always have to get my haircut every 2 weeks, like I did when I got it buzzed. I can now go up to 5 weeks sometimes. If you want talent, quality and every detail taken care of for you, then Robert is your man.

Robert is by far the best hair stylist I have been to in San Diego. He is friendly, funny and just awesome! I have been going to him for over 4 years and even with the hard economic times, I would never think of switching to a less expensive stylist. He keeps up with the current styles and is always doing something to learn the latest and greatest techniques.
Salon Tonic, located in Little Italy, is comfortable, cool and chic, yet everyone there is down to earth and friendly.
I highly recommend you give Robert a call!

I have been a client of Robert for at least 5 years. After moving to north county San Diego, I have remained a loyal customer and ALWAYS will… Robert is soooo worth the drive!
I’m not particularly adventurous when it comes to my hair, but every so often when I want to do something different, Robert helps me figure out just what to do so when I leave his hands I look beautiful and feel confident. I have NEVER been disappointed.
Robert is a true artist, who takes the time and effort to make each appointment perfection.
I agree with an earlier post — I believe you too will be a repeat customer!

I have been a client of Robert since I moved to San Diego six years ago. He is amazing! He has taken me from blonde, to brown, to red and back again and each time I walk away very happy. Robert stays on top of the latest techniques and has a great eye for style. He is honest but adventurous. I have no doubt you will be a repeat customer.
