The Glam Garage Salon — Local services in San Diego

I really hate to leave a review like this but I don’t want someone else to have the same experience I had. Long story short, Char very knowingly caused my hair to fall out. I told her this was my first time in a salon and instead of being gentle and understanding I feel she took advantage of my naivety. At the beginning before the incident, I suggested doing several sessions based on my marginal knowledge of bleach but she chose to lighten my hair from a dark brown to near platinum in one session, and tore through it pretty mercilessly with a brush getting really frustrated. It didn’t seem like she knew how to brush long hair so I asked if I could take over since I could hear so much of it breaking and see she was only getting rougher as she got more frustrated. I then had to cut several inches off even though I’d recently trimmed, which I had expected but I was hoping she would be more careful, gradual, knowledgeable, and understanding. As this was my first experience in a salon, I didn’t recognize the red flags so I went back to her to get my roots touched up and that’s when things went really horribly wrong. She applied bleach to my roots and then disappeared for about an hour. Looking back, it truly feels like she took advantage of my lack of experience and treated my hair really horribly thinking I didn’t know enough to stand up for myself. She also seemed like she just didn’t want to deal with my long hair again, which I really wish she would have been honest about. After washing out the bleach and starting to tear through my hair with the brush again, clumps and clumps kept falling out and would not stop. I lost well over half of the treated hair that day, the giant pile of my hair wouldn’t even fit on her table, and the rest has been breaking off at the same spot ever since. My long hair is now left with a very few weak straggly strands and I’m facing having to cut it off, which I have been growing basically all of my life. I don’t feel like myself anymore and it is purely due to Char’s negligence. I feel self conscious constantly and never wear my hair down anymore. I’m sure the other stylists at this salon are good, but please take caution with booking with Char. I’m sorry I had to do this. I wished she would help me look how I dreamed and help me build confidence, but that’s the actual opposite of what happened to me. And I felt too nervous to ask for any discounts so she chose to charge...

I had a co-worker who always had amazing hair. I had to know who she saw and where she went!! She referred me to her hair gal, Michelle...and that was 8 years ago (at least)! I always get compliments on my hair! I can sit down in the chair and trust her 110% with her suggestions and plan for my hair for the month! She also has an amazing memory to know we did the last time! :)

Michelle has a natural talent for hair and beauty! I can’t say enough wonderful things about her professionally and personally. Not only is she good at what she does but she’s also kind, thoughtful, generous and humble..an inspiration indeed! Michelle, as well as the other staff at Glam Garage, will take great care of you..promise! Now, go make your appointment at the...

Just had my teeth whitening appointment today at Glam Garage with Alex. This was my first time in the shop. It’s a super cute salon. Everyone there is very nice and make you feel very welcome. This was my first time getting my teeth whitened and was hoping to see some kind of results at least the 2 shades like most places promise..... Well let me just say I’m amazed with my results today after my treatment I was 5 shades lighter I could see the results right away and I will be going again till I get where I want to be. I would definitely recommend Glam garage over the dentist office to anyone looking for teeth whitening. I can’t say it enough I’m...
