Elli went above and beyond for my hair service while I was visiting San Diego. I needed a last minute appointment so I reached out late Saturday and she was fast to reply and accommodated me early morning on a Sunday. The area is beautiful and parking was hard to find but Elli saved the day again by offering me a parking spot in the garage behind her salon. It was Art Walk Sunday so I wouldn’t have been able to find parking otherwise!
The service itself was extremely efficient for time and she managed to squeeze in a much needed haircut as well as a gloss. I loved chatting with her and her energy is contagious! She is infectiously positive and had great product and restaurant recommendations. I left Elli’s Hair Studio feeling happy and satisfied with my gorgeous blowout. She is a gem!
11/10, highly recommend, and can’t wait to go back to her next year during my annual visit...

Her patient listening and communication, expertise, and passion for her work absolutely showed in the quality of my cut. For the first time, I left the salon smiling, and was able to go straight to dinner with my girlfriend in Little...
Read moreMy husband I were visiting San Diego and we were walking back from the waterfront park and fountain with our daughter. She was bedraggled and wet from playing in the fountain. We walked by Elli's studio and noticed the sign that walk-ins are welcome. We went in hoping beyond hope we could get our daughter's hair washed and cut. Even though she was about to close Ellie said yes. My little 5-year old daughter was treated to a full service hair cut, not a quick trim. My daughter enjoyed it so much and Ellie was so kind and sweet to her. Now my daughter likes to pretend to style our hair and...
