Salon De Marcus - San Diego Salon & Boutique — Local services in San Diego

I flew in to San Diego for a conference and was having a bad-BAD hair week. So I googled Salons near our hotel and was able to score an appointment for the same afternoon... which is a good thing but also nerve racking as good salons rarely have immediate openings. Anyway... I entered the salon a bit hesitant as I was wanting to make sure that I would not get a botched hair experience as the one Ellen D got last weekend😬.
