Great teamwork   Love the cut and color!!   Very happy!

Courtney is a platinum blond specialist! I’ve seen other stylist at Ashen and everyone is absolutely amazing.

I've been a loyal customer for nearly two years with a hectic schedule. Ashley is my go-to for all my hair needs.

Beautiful salon, super talented stylists and the sweetest receptionist!

Maryam is amazing, she deserves ten stars!  I have been going to her for about 6 years and this review is way overdue.  She always does an amazing job.  She is professional, kind, with the most gentle touch as I am extremely sensitive.  She always makes me feel very comfortable, I always look forward to seeing her.  I highly recommend her.

Courtney is amazing! I've been going to her for over 5 years now.

Perfect place to get your haircut colored and done

Fantastic haircut from stylist Kim Gibson. Will definitely be going back

Bright atmosphere and friendly stylists. I was new to the area and when I called Ashen, they were able to get me an appointment for the next morning. I got a beautiful balayage/cut that I absolutely love. Thanks Kristina!

Maryam is amazing. We changed my hair color and I live it. She is simply the best.
I love this salon. Great vibes and staff

Madi killed it. I didn't give her much to go on, but she had me feeling confident and happy when I looked in the mirror.

My girlfriend sent me to get some hair products for her and I decided to stop into Ashen and all the staff was extremely helpful and kind not only did my girlfriend love the product but now she will be going there all the time ask for Ashley she’s the best!

Danna is absolutely amazing! Not only is she incredibly talented and detail oriented, but she’s also the sweetest person ever. She truly listens to what you want, gives spot on advice and makes your hair turn out even better than you imagined. The whole experience is relaxing and uplifting and I left feeling confident, refreshed, and obsessed with my hair!!! She’s a true artist with a heart of gold!

Thanks Danna!! 🥰

Madi at Ashen was the best! So sweet and easy to talk to. My haircut looks exactly as I pictured it.

I was visiting from New York and Elle did a beautiful job on my hair!  Very impressed! Would highly recommend Elle and the lovely salon!

I love Ashen Salon! I have been seeing Maryam as my stylist for over 5 years (every three weeks for color). Maryam is exceptionally professional, knows what she is doing with regard to color, cuts and styling. I have only had great experiences with the entire staff at Ashen. I always feel welcome and taken care of when I walk in the door. I would highly recommend Maryam or any of the other stylists.

Madison did an awesome job on my hair, ill defiantly be going back.

Ashen was a great environment! Marc has been my stylist for years and glad to go there for styling and cut.

Danna was amazing, as always. She not only does a great job with the hair cut, she gives a killer head massage after the shampoo! She also offers a clean-up trim in-between haircuts at no extra charge.

Madi did my highlights and they are amazing! She is so sweet and kind and made the experience so enjoyable!

Ashen Salon is fantastic!  The staff is wonderful - very friendly and efficient.  Maryam is amazing!  My cut and color are consistently perfect - exactly what I want - beautiful, carefree and stylish!  I highly recommend!

Wonderful experience.  Madison was fantastic with my hair and conversation.  Would book again, but I live out of state.

I've been living in SD for almost 13 years and I've tried a 3-4 different stylists in the area, but with naturally wavy hair as an Asian, many hair stylists have not been able to cut my hair very well.  In addition, I love letting my stylist do their magic b/c I am a loyalist, and when it comes to color/highlights, I want to allow them to paint the canvas b/c they know what's on trend and they are the experts.  I was spoiled b/c when I lived in the Seattle area, I had a gem of a stylist, and b/c I struggled finding the right person in SD, I continued to see her up until last year, when I was fortunate to meet Siobhain.  She's newer to Ashen Salon, but I've followed her here and for sure, this is the right spot!

The salon is bright and has a great energy!  The receptionist is inviting, and the stylists all seem happy!  They have some complimentary beverages while you're getting your service, along with some nice seating and magazines/books.

One of the biggest challenges with finding the right stylist is my hair grows very fast and has a natural wave.  It varies based on humidity, as girls with wavy/curly hair know, so I've had previous cuts where people razor my hair or however they cut it, it always makes me have major triangle head (not a good look)!  Siobhain tends to cut my hair dry, which was an adjustment, but overall it's allowed her to see how the hair will lay when it's dry and follow the natural wave.

I've also gotten color and highlights done, which is my fave with Siobhain!  She always keeps me fresh and on point, and I always get compliments on my hair after I see her!  Besides her skills, she's just a gem and always vibrant and on her game!

In my short time seeing her, my mom and my other friend have both had pixie cuts from Siobhain, which according to my friend, also requires major skill to meet the person's preferences, and they've both been happy!

Street parking is usually decent, although summer months likely will be busier.  I'm not aware of any associated parking, but I've never had any issues finding parking.  Appointments are definitely recommended.  Pricing is along the standard I think I've seen with most salons, with most cuts ranging around $40-80 based on length/style, and color/highlights ranging from $100-250 depending on what you get done.

So happy I found Siobhain and have a great stylist in the SD area now!  I definitely recommend that you see Siobhain at Ashen Salon.

Karen was amazing. My hair was so in desperate need of TLC. She is a genius with colour ! thank you

Siobhain did an amazing job with my haircut. This is was my second time going to Ashen and they never disappoint.

Right when I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed. The salon is spotless and has such a beautiful and peaceful vibe. Everyone there is friendly and professional. Nicole absolutely delivered—she took the time to really listen to what I wanted for my bridal makeup and hair, and made me feel so confident and cared for. If you’re looking for a talented stylist in a lovely, relaxing environment, I highly recommend this salon:).

I went to Maryan over 3 months ago for gray blending and she did a phenomenal job. She was able to neutralize my oxidizing hair to match the cooler color of my roots while at the same time highlighting my hair to blend the grays. It was definitely a challenge but she did great! I plan to go back in another month. I’m hoping this is less maintenance than coloring my roots brown every 1.5 months.

I’ve been coming to Courtney since I moved here from the east coast in 2013 and she ALWAYS delivers—on cut, color and deep life conversations. Could not say more great things about Courtney and Ashen Salon. I’d follow her around the world <3

I had an outstanding experience at Ashen Salon. Siobhain is an exceptional stylist who has cultivated a warm, welcoming environment while offering top-notch services. She brought my vision for highlighted hair to life!

I have complete confidence in her expertise and I am consistently thrilled with the final product! I highly recommend booking an appointment with her!

Not to mention she is hilarious!!!!

Ashley did a miracle on my hair. Had previously gone somewhere else to pay less but the stylist damaged my hair. Ashley brought it back to life.

I went to the new salon in downtown La Jolla and it’s gorgeous! With beautiful tiles on the ceiling and wonderful amenities! LeJen is a talented hair stylist and superb colorist. I highly recommend!!

Karen was super professional and me and my daughter both loved her haircut! She’s the best!

Very Professional and knowledgeable .  Listens to my preferences .

Highly recommend Ashen salon! I usually am very stressed and anxious when I get a cut and color but never when I go to see Ashley. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and my hair turns out amazing each time due to her expertise. So grateful I found her!

I love the place, my hairdresser is Mae. I recommend her work 100%.

Lejen Mae is undoubtedly the best hairstylist and hair therapist I've ever encountered! Although I'm not very knowledgeable about hair care, she always takes the time to explain each step of the process, from the products she uses to the techniques she applies. Her ability to break down complex information into easy-to-understand insights makes every visit not only enjoyable but also educational.

After trying multiple hair stylists when I moved to San Diego 8 years ago, I found Karen. She is an amazing stylist full of brilliant suggestions. I highly recommend her.

Maryam is an intuitive natural talent at hair coloring. She also cut my hair exactly how I wanted with the layers to flatter my face. Highly recommend for hair coloring.

"Karen exceeded my expectations with my new hair color! She went above and beyond to achieve the exact shade I had envisioned. Her warm and beautiful personality put me at ease, ensuring me that my hair was in good hands. Highly recommend!"

My hairstylist, Kerry Siobhain, was great and lovely ❤️ she really gave me a great style. I can wear it naturally curly or blown out - and it feels light and “right”. Thank you !

I was so happy when I discovered this salon when I moved to San Diego from LA and needed a new hairdresser. I adore Hannah and the cuts and color she gives me. It’s a go to salon especially for blonde upkeep!
