Dearinger Hair Salon in San Diego, California

I should preface this by stating that I never give bad reviews, or reviews at all, but this was by far the worst salon experience I've ever had. When I walked in, there was hair on the floor from the previous haircut and a small dog with a cone on his head. I love dogs, but not in a salon while I'm getting my haircut. Just gave me a very overall dirty vibe and I should have listened to my gut and left as soon as I felt a weird vibe, but I ignored it and continued. My hair is long and pretty easy to work with, so the haircut was simple. I told the hairstylist that I wanted a cut to clean up the ends and add in long layers. I also mentioned that previous hairdressers used a special type of scissors on the end of the hair to not make it look so bluntly cut (like a child). He didn't really listen to what I was saying at all, and he was pretty clear he was going to cut it however he wanted regardless of what I said. He ended up cutting 4 inches off of my hair and no long layers, because he said it was too short at that point -__- Turns out the man cutting my hair was the owner. No conversation was had unless I initiated it, or it was about him. And as soon as I noticed he had cut too much off, he spent the rest of the haircut trying to convince me that it wasn't that short. Exact words were, "It's not that short, my hair is short." Yes sir, that's because you're a man. I left in tears, because it was that bad. I realize it will grow back but what a waste of $60. I will NEVER go back to this salon or recommend it to anyone I know.

My go-to for tamed (+ blue) hair. A chance to enjoy the downtown market district every so often.
