Nathan did an excellent job with my haircut. He listened carefully to what I wanted and executed the style perfectly. His attention to detail and skilled technique resulted in exactly the look I was going for. Highly recommend him for both cuts and styling!

First time in Rubi gave me a lovely highlight improvement, and the salon has a fun vibe!

Rubi is an absolute gem. She’s very personable, she helped my dual hair come back to life and walked me through my vision and made it happen. If you need a color girl, look no further, she’s the best!

Dear Nathan Thank you! Thank you for directing me to the salon safely when Google Maps gave up on me. Thank you for taking me as a walk-in client when I was feeling down and needed a pick me up before an engagement function. I felt important from the moment I sat in Nathan’s chair, he was extremely attentive to what my past hair experience was, what I was trying to achieve and the time I would have to maintain the style myself. Nathan really listened and today I walk around effortlessly with a good hair every day. One thing I really enjoyed about my time at Savor was that the products Nathan used and the after care advice he gave have worked for me. My scalp health has improved over the last four weeks and I am complimented often on my hair style and on my face shape which has not happened before. Thank you again Nathan and I’ll see you next time!

Services are always on point! 100% recommend this place!!!!

I absolutely love Jen at Salon Savoir. I keep my hair short in a pixie cut and she is always spot on. She takes time to ask questions prior to cutting and after to make sure you’re getting the cut you have requested and are satisfied. She is super sweet and attentive. You won’t be disappointed. I know I haven’t been!!
Feb 05, 2024
Absolutely love my cut and color every single time I go here. I am a no makeup low maintenance like I just came from the beach surfer girl and I always get tons of compliments from coworkers and friends because my hair always looks great, natural and like me.

Bree did such an amazing job with my hair. It was my first time getting a balayage and my new hair has truly changed me! I got non stop compliments all day and I love the feeling that it’s given me. Bree was so professional and thorough and that is much appreciated. The salon is so cozy and peaceful and I felt very comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I also haven’t been to a salon in years and I truly can’t wait to be back. 🫶🏽

Came in for a peekaboo hair color with money piece. Hair was previously lightened and colored. Bree did amazing work and I am in love with my new look! She is very detailed and thorough. Communicates clearly throughout the whole process so you know what’s going on and can share questions or thoughts you might have. Bree made me feel so comfortable and confident in her ability. She is very passionate and knowledgeable. I could tell immediately that she cares deeply about her craft and clients. Her skill and deliberate detail shows in her work. I’m very pleased with my hair and will only let Bree do my hair from now on! Highly recommend Bree!

I LOVE Salon Savoir!! Everyone is so welcoming and it’s a perfect place to relax. Not to mention, the owner Michelle is AMAZING!! Every time I see her, there’s a real sense of connection. She is very grounded, has incredible energy! She does a thorough evaluation of my hair and makes sure to connect with me so it’s clear we align on what she’s going to do with my hair. It’s like getting a mini consultation each time. I’ve been to other salons where they already have your color mixed and don’t give you an opportunity to explore other options. She also takes such great care of my delicate hair. I was never able to have highlights and healthy hair at the same time and now I am. She has much knowledge, is very technical and executes incredibly well. My kids and I always rave about her. Thank you for all your care Michelle!! ❤️❤️

I cannot say enough good things about this salon - amazing color, amazing cuts and the best people : Michelle is a color genius and so wonderful to spend time with. I highly recommend her. I have followed her around the city for over 20 years and now drive from Arizona just to get my hair done ! She is the best !

I got a color service and blow out done by Lisa and I love how she made my hair look! Healthy and shiny! She washed my hair and gave me a relaxing scalp massage and recommended products for me to use to keep my hair healthy. The whole atmosphere of the salon was very cozy and welcoming. I will definitely go back to Lisa whenever I need a color touch up!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Salon Savoir , and I must say, it was an absolute delight. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. The vibe at Savoir is simply amazing.

One of the highlights of my visit was the refreshing complimentary offerings. From the moment I arrived, I was treated to a complimentary beverage that instantly refreshed my senses. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the scented candles to the comfortable seating, creating the perfect environment for a relaxing day at the spa. When it came to the actual hair styling, I was blown away. The artists at Savoir worked with precision and care, ensuring that every strand of hair was perfectly styled. The gentle touch and the soothing scalp massage during the hair wash added an extra layer of relaxation to the experience. As I left Savoir , I couldn't help but feel beautiful and confident. The artists had truly transformed my hair into a masterpiece, exceeding my expectations. I left the salon with a smile on my face, knowing that I had found a hair salon that not only provided exceptional service but also made me feel like a cherished guest.

I was referred to Jen by a friend of mine and she did not disappoint. I had been looking for someone for a while. I had tried many different barber shops and although they are great at what they do, I didn’t want just a typical fade on the sides and short on top. Jen sat down with me and really took the time to listen to what I had to say and what I wanted. It was hands down the best consultation/haircut/salon experience I have ever had. My haircut was perfect and I will be referring everyone to her. I’m looking forward to my next appointment! 5⭐️

I went to Savoir Salon because I was in great need of a haircut since I had not had one in almost a year! I had been putting it off but I when I finally decided it was way overdue I was so happy when I chose this salon. Jen C. cut my hair and she was awesome! She made me feel very comfortable and was ready to help me with my long overdue cut. Jen did an excellent job of making my hair look healthy again. I'm a very satisfied client! I highly recommend coming here and seeing Jen! The salon itself was also very clean and the rest of the staff was very friendly as well. Thank you Jen and Savoir Salon!

It’s been about a week since I got my cut with Bree. I am a low maintenance queen so the cut and style she gave me makes sure I look good everyday! Hardly any care besides keeping my color. I have thick hair that often gets wavy and very poofy with the cut she gave she lightened a lot of the load in my ends and framed my face perfectly with cute bangs. If you think it’s expensive let me tell you!!! It’s worth the price!

Jen Candaleria is absolutely my favorite hairdresser in San Diego. I have very curly hair and sometimes it gets hard finding someone who cuts my hair right. She listens to my ideas and we collaborate on the perfect haircut. I always leave stoked and feeling refreshed!
Feb 05, 2024
My husband and I came to know and enjoy Jen and her styling talents when our former hairdresser (who was moving away) recommended her. We have been so pleased that we listened to him. Jen listens, supports and works with us to help us feel our most confident. She takes pride in her strong skills and is always open to adding more. Thank you, Jen! We are so happy to have connected with you at Savoir!

Today I got a wonderful haircut by Jen candelaria She was very attentive and thorough with the consultation. She really understood what I wanted and flawlessly delivered it. I couldn’t be happier with my haircut. I’m definitely coming back.

When my hairdresser of 35+ years retired at the end of last year, my heart sank. Not only had a good friend moved away, but what were my hair and I going to do??? Fortunately, he referred my best friend, her husband, and me to stylist Jen Candaleria at Salon Savoir. The rest, as they say, is history. From the moment you walk in the salon, Jen’s complete focus and attention are on you. How did your hair work? How was the cut…the color? Is there anything you would like to change? Staff are warm and friendly, and Jen exceptionally skilled at making sure you look your best. My friends and I look forward to our appointments, scheduled together on the same day, every five weeks or so. We have a great time, look terrific upon departure, and, best of all…we’ve gained a very skilled hairstylist, and new friend!

About 2 years ago my hair dresser of over a decade broke my heart & moved to Palm Springs. Since then, I have tried several different people & just haven’t found someone I liked for my hair. I found Lisa scrolling through Instagram. I have given so many people a try I didn’t have very high expectations. But right away Lisa made me feel comfortable. She sat down & listened to what kind of look I wanted. She asked me questions throughout the process to make sure we were on the same page. My hair wasn’t easy because she had to fix a poor hair cut & poor hair color the last lady left me. She was able to fix everything for me & give me exactly what I asked for. I was extremely happy with the results & will definitely be back to see her!

Absolutely loved my experience at Salon Savoir and can't wait for my next appointment. Bree took time prior to booking my appointment to really understand what I was looking to achieve with my hair goals. So grateful to have come across such a sweet stylist. I won't be going anywhere else anytime soon. Thanks Bree!!

Michelle has been doing my hair for over 25 years. Professional and personable. I would never choose another salon. I recommend her to my friends. I get compliments on my hair constantly. Great at color and cut. 100 ⭐️’s if I could!

Salon Savoir is super amazing! The atmosphere is so relaxing and the staff is so nice and welcoming. I feel like a queen. One person I must talk about is Sergio. He is a top 5-star hair colorist! He is like no other! He is so knowledgeable, super professional, he listens to you and does exactly what you ask him to do. He also gives the perfect suggestions in case he doesn’t think what you ask will look good on your hair. He is also the kindest person in the world, always happy and smiley, he has the greatest vibe! I love you Sergio! I’ve been doing my hair with him for 5 years now! He’s the BEST in San Diego, not a doubt!
Feb 05, 2024
Sergio has been my hairdresser for the past 8 years here in San Diego and I couldn’t trust anybody else. He has the craziest and busiest work schedule but he always makes room for me and for all of his clients. I love his professionalism and his kindness. My hair and my self esteem really appreciate his long years of experience! 100% recommended!
Feb 05, 2024
Sergio is a wonderful professional. This is the healthiest my hair has been in a very long time. Sergio takes his time to talk to you before each hair appointment and he delivers exactly what you asked for every single time. I recommend his services 100%!
Feb 05, 2024
Sergio is amazing!! After I found him I’m not going anywhere. He takes care of my hair so well and does a incredible job at highlight my hair. I also get Brazilian blowouts with him and it has lasted over 6 months. It’s always a great time getting my hair done by him. The salon is also very clean and friendly. If I could I would give it 100 stars!
