I love coming to this Beauty Salon I have gotten my hair colored twice at this location and I must say I love my hair color, the hairdresser is very sweet and professional I also got my eyebrows done to match my hair color, overall I’m a very happy customer.

Naz is so nice, skillful and focused on the customer.

Nazy and Sherry are both top-notch. The genuine dedication and care given to even the smallest detail for the consumer is greatly appreciated.


Feb 05, 2024

Nazy was able to fit me in last minute for a much needed haircut. Fantastic job. I'm new to San Diego from Miami and am so glad to have found my local pro. She also did a beautiful cut and color for my Mom. She was so happy. Thank you!

Nazy, was so nice and did a great job on my hair. I’ll be returning.🙂

We are visiting San Diego and I needed a trim. I have a pixie cut hence need a trim frequently. Although Balboa Salon is much further away than where we are staying (near Gaslamp District), it was totally worth the drive. She was very professional, authentic, and friendly and gave me a great cut at a reasonable price! No frills, no pretentious vibe, no glam pampering and no triple the price!!!

What an incredible salon! Friendly, inviting, calm atmosphere to this family-owned, family-run local salon. Attentive, caring staff listen to your desires for your cut, and quickly execute on THE BEST cut of your life- all for a great price going to a local family, not a mega-chain. 5/5 stars. //// Edit: 2nd time visiting Balboa Salon, continued to love their Service. Sherry is an exceptional stylist & patron; she sets the standard for a salon owner & stylist. Kindness, caring, friendliness-- this is OUR neighborhood salon, make sure to go to it! Don't waste your money getting a cut/trim/style from a chain salon like Supercuts, visit Sherry & family at Balboa Salon today. Thanks as always, Sherry! <3

Great place to get a haircut! I was a walk-in but she fit me in within an hour (even though she was working by herself). Very communicative and professional, I'm growing my hair long and came in for a trim after not getting a haircut for a long time. She got all my split ends into shape without sacrificing much length at all. Also a lovely and kind person. Thank you!

I am a boy who came out for the first time to Balboa Salon to get my flow trimmed. I wanted to keep my hair long, and she did a great job and cleaned it up perfectly.


Feb 05, 2023

These ladies were so lovely and they fixed my COVID era disaster hair 😂 I’ll definitely be coming back 🤗


Feb 05, 2022

Great service! I wanted long layers and got exactly what I wanted.


Feb 05, 2022

I got exactly what I was looking for!! Owner was wonderful and gave me a perfect cut and just enough curl to add so much body to my hair- I love it!!

Mahsvash did such an amazing job on my hair, she is a complete professional, I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she exceeded that expectation because she did my highlights with what would look great on me. This was my second time ever dying my hair, and only time I did highlights so coming from someone that never dies her hair, I felt so safe and so happy I wanted to cry. It came out gorgeous and the pictures don't even compliment what it looks like in person. After everything was done I felt like a new me, and I got the happiness I wanted in the end that I didn't think I would of got if I went somewhere else. Thank you for the commitment you made to make me feel safe with my hair and with covid. Their products were all organic which made my hair feel renewed as it was so damaged. I definitely bought them because now that I have this new look I want to keep my hair healthier from here on out. This was the best of experience of my life! This was my second time coming to the salon and both times 2 different professionals I left so satisfied, I know this is my place from now on.


Feb 05, 2022

Sherry did my hair the way I asked for. My hair looked so good that everyone were asking where I had it done. I definitely recommend this salon.


Feb 05, 2020

Good friendly salon.


Feb 05, 2020

I am new to San Diego and was looking for new hairdresser. So glad I found Sherry. She did an amazing job on my cut. I’m going back!

Moje is amazing! This was such a find! A beautiful salon that I didn’t even know existed, so I had never been there before. I really needed an uneven haircut fixed. Needless to say, but I will, my stylist, Moje had a terrible mess to begin with, so I applaud her ability to make a great cut out of a mess. Within an hour or less, she not only washed, cut and styled my hair, she truly helped restore my self-esteem. She was very kind and efficient. Overall very classy place and reasonably priced. I’ll continue with Moje and this salon for a very long time to come! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 💕 Kim
