Tops Salon

We love our mani/​pedis with Maurice! He’s great at what he does and it’s a joy to spend a couple of hours with him!

I met Jade late in the summer of 2015 and she told me she had ideas for my short hair. (Which was her specialty.) I’d had the same haircut for years, which was fine, but was open to trying something new. Jade cut my hair for the first time in September and I’ve been back every month since! I appreciate how she consults with me each time and pampers my head. Short haired men and women both should call and ask for Jade.

I found this salon and most of all Christine while searching on Groupon for a stylist that did Brazilian Blowouts. Christine was very accommodating and willing to work with me to get me in a few days before Thanksgiving! It was a bit tricky but she made it happen, I contacted her in the morning and that next night she got me in. I let her know I wanted cut, color and BB, she was like no problem!
From the moment I walked in the customer service was awesome and the salon is really cute! She took me to the back sat me down and asked me what I wanted and suggested ideas. Her assistant, Natalie was supper sweet and offered me a beverage which was nice. We started the BB process and it was great! She has a whole set up outside to do safe BB, which I thought was cool a little cold if you go at night but they offered blankets! Overall my experience with Christine was great, she was sweet and knew what she was doing. Loved my a line cut and color. The BB is great, I have noticed a bit of dryness and dandruff after receiving the blowout but have used oil and dandruff shampoo with my BB shampoo to stop it.
I will def be going back, she is pretty reasonable too! Great place.

I had a haircut and color with Viki and I just love, love, my hair-​she is amazing!!! Great consultation, great service, and a haircut even I can manage :) I’ve been blown away by all the compliments-​thanks so much Ms. Viki xoxo

I purchased a Livingsocial for an appointment with Christina Donohue. I arrived 15 min early to my appointment and ended up waiting for an hour and thirty minutes in the waiting room before Christina even came out to greet me. Basically she made me wait almost 2 hours and then tells me that she can’t do what I want done to my hair because we did not have enough time to do it and she was going to charge me double. I understand that sometimes things cost more if you want something particular, but she made me wait 2 hours just to tell me that she could not assist me in any way. It took me an hour to drive to my appointment, so basically I wasted 4 hours of my day for an insanely disappointing experience. I do not recommend buying a livingsocial with her.
The salon as a whole seemed great, no one else in the entire salon was waiting for an appointment besides me. The receptionist and Christina’s assistant Nicole were very cheerful and helpful.

JADE!!! If you are looking for a mens haircut, you must see Jade! I have followed Jade where ever she goes. Her cuts are the best money can buy! She takes her time and knows the best styles and trends. Her attitude is always positive and she will always greet you with a hug and a smile each and every time. Professional, clean and kind. I would recommend Jade for any one looking for a top quality haircut. The shop is modern, hip and will kept. Best mens haircut in San Diego.

I have lots of friends who see Megan Rushe for cut and color, and when my previous place just got too pricey to justify, my pal reminded me they all love Megan and insisted I give it a try (I love the results and my friends have awesome hair, so did not take much…).
I’m so unbelievably glad I did. She immediately saw an opportunity to slightly adjust the tone to better balance my skin tone, and the cut has been getting nonstop compliments! And the final cost was really the icing on the cake. So much more affordable!
Bonus-​Megan is hilarious and fun, and it was just a great way to spend a couple hours!

I recently had my 2^nd Brazilian Blowout by Christina Donahue. Whenever I get to San Diego from Chicago I make an appointment with Christina. I always get the best BB by her! This time she had an assistant, and it was so efficient. They were fabulous! My hair turned out beautifully!

Megan was the best! She did my hair for my wedding. Back story: My bridesmaids sister was doing all the bridal party’s hair and makeup. However, she was unable to curl my hair in a way that would stay. Not sure if she used too much product (it was very crunchy) or wasn’t used to working with thin straight hair. Anyways, I did 3 hair trials with her, each time falling flat with the last trial just three weeks before the wedding. Freaked out, I called Tops Salon from Unilocal reviews and they said Megan does the best curls, they will last 3 days! I went in for a trial with my mom and it was true! She was so reassuring and made me feel sooooo much better about this stressful situation. I loved going in on my wedding day and feeling relaxed and treated. Highly recommend!

This shout out is for the very talented Christine!
I recently went here to have my grown out, half dyed/​half natural hair colored back to the red I love so much. Thanks to Christine, I now have just that! While I waited, her lovely assistant Natalie offered me a glass of wine (which I gladly accepted) and thanked me for my patience. When I sat at the chair, both were very professional and kind. After a long day of work I wasn’t in the chattiest of moods, but they let me just relax and did their magic. Christine was very kind, explained what she was doing with my hair and why, and offered ways to keep my color last. She also was very good at explaining how she was cutting my hair (I have fine hair which makes it difficult to keep volume) so I could achieve volume with little effort. I loved that she offered products she liked, but wasn’t pushy about me buying them. Thank you Christine for making me feel like myself again! You already know I’ve booked with you again, but I am happy to say after being in San Diego for two and a half years I think I’ve finally found my hair stylist!

I will never, ever get a pedicure anywhere else other than Tops Salon after having my pedicure with Maurice this evening! Not only was he gentle, but he was an absolute blast to hang out with for an hour. I can’t wait to book my next appt with him!

This is a great salon. Very clean and inviting. Jade was incredible and she did an excellent job on my hair. I love that she isn’t in a hurry and really takes her time and listens to what you want. I will definitely be returning.

Maurice, is the technician i see for my pedicures and manicures and he is AMAZING at what he does. his attention to detail, his personality, he is just a pleasure to be around. I always look forward to my «Mommy day off days» because I know im in GREAT hands when i see Maurice.
Looking for a salon that you can feel like your on vacation Tops Salon is your place! The salon is always clean, and the ENTIRE staff is always friendly!
only downside is parking have to park a few streets down its on a busy little street and the paid parking lot is usually full when i go, but if you are like me and dont mind a small walk come and get pampered at Tops Salon. They also have an outside movie theater which i have not yet been able to try out but i am sure if you ask while you are there about it they can give you all kinds of information about it :)

I recently visited Tops Salon and loved the spot. It was really cute and comfortable from the get go. I was warmly greeted by the receptionist immediately and taken back to my stylist within minutes. Once seated, I was offered a beverage (they even have wine!!).
While the salon impressed me, the real star of the day was Christina. My boyfriend bought me a living social deal a few months ago to see her. This was my 3^rd time having my hair done by Christina and she is absolutely amazing! The color she did is outstanding (I dye me hair violet red). She really knocked it out of the park! It was hard for me to see a new stylist… I’m from Fresno and had been seeing the same girl for 7 years, but Christina has stolen my heart. She is very talented!!! I have found my San Diego stylist!

Got a haircut and highlights from Christina D, who is just awesome. She is very easy going and talented, which makes it for a great experience. Love how my hair look!

Viki de Van was born to do hair and comes to it as naturally as birds come to flight. I’ve heard redheads in the Tops Salon say nobody can get the red color like she can, I’ve heard curly heads say nobody can cut for curls like she does, and in my own case I drive an hour from our home because what she does is pure magic.
I’ve seen Viki for 20 years as well and the few times I’ve gone to someone else I’ve been incredibly disappointed. She keeps up to date on products and manages to take an almost 70 year old head and turn it into something I get compliments on weekly. I can’t tell you how many people ask me on a regular basis who does my hair. Viki is peaceful and caring and attentive, on top of talented and fun to be with. I cannot recommend her more highly and only wish the rest of the world did their job half as well as she does!

This review is for Viki Devan:
I’ve been going to Viki for over 20 years.
She always gives me a consistent cut, keeps my hair on trend and has a winning personality. If she ever retires I’m going to be lost.
I really like the color she uses. No one knows that I color my hair… until now.

I’ve followed Savanah since the day she gave me my my first ombré, I was scared cause I wanted a more natural look and omg she made a amazing job in making it look so natural! Ever since i have only gone to her to get color done! Totally recommend Savanah!

As a dude who only ever got the same hair cut my entire life so coming here and having Savanah cut my hair was a pretty different experience but so far its been pretty awesome coming to her each month and definitely changed my opionon of myself and gave me some confidence so id highly recommend that other guys come and have Savanah cut your hair cuz shes awesome at what she does and she isnt bad on the eyes either ;)
oh double bonus you get free wine

Walking by I had to stop in. This place is a cool place to take a time out and pamper yourself. It’s clean, there’s a flat screen, nice lay out and has a classy feel to it. They have specials so check with them on what kind of service you can score. On the corner is a coffee shop, around them is quality eats and a $ 2 parking. Good location. If you want to escape the world for a moment and take a time out. Cute classy place to get a pedi, Mani or your hair did.
