Freda’s Hair Salon

I have been going to Freda since 2004 and I could not be happier. Due to the distance I had to try a few other hairdressers closer to me just to end up going back to her! Her prices are reasonable and she actually knows what she is doing. She is like my hair doctor! I don’t tell her what to do with my hair! I let her whatever she wants to do with it and I always end up getting compliments over and over! She loves to chop my hair but which hairdresser doesn’t? Just kidding… My hair is long and healthy looking all because of her. I recommend her to all my friends and they all thank me for that! My photo is actually right after she colored my hair. I love her and Jessica’s work. keep it up!

Came here for the first time and Freda did an excellent job on my hair. I will be coming back.

Just left Frieda’s Hair Salon and I’m AMAZED! My hair color is beautiful and exactly the way I wanted. My appointment was very fast and Frieda took very good care of me. can’t wait to come back for all my hair necessities!

Freda’s is definitely my new go to for my hair. I’ve been twice for a blow-​dry & flat iron, but they are so good, my hair is straight & smooth without needing the flat iron! Today I added a root color touch up at the last minute & they were more than happy to do what ever I needed. I love how quick they are too!

Just got my hair colored, cut and a blowout by Freda! She is fantastic! Just ask her for something and she will do it exactly! I love that she is fast and does an amazing job! I’ve been going to Freda and Jessica for almost three years now and I leave very happy every time! They are both very kind and fun to talk to and best of all they do a wonderful job!

If I could give zero stars I would. I have had long hair my whole life and it was destroyed thanks to this woman! Be careful! I went here upon the recommendation of a good friend who referred me to my previous hair dresser as well (who became a bit pricey at roughly $ 400 for a cut and color — but I was always happy). For me it’s important to go to someone that works with long hair routinely and is knowledgeable about color. I have healthy strong hair and just recently started coloring it in April. I had an ombré with natural darker brown on the top and golden blond at the ends. It had started to grow out after a few months so I needed a good TRIM and to add more color to the ends. I will try to post a picture of my hair before I went to Freda, after (the nightmare) and after I had it re-​done (another $ 250 and 3 hours later by a great colorist who is amazing at color correction). The bad news is my long hair is now shoulder length because he had to cut over 6 inches to fix the cut and due to the color damage! I really didn’t know how horrible my hair was until I got home because the lighting in the salon is terrible and I could not see the back of my hair in the mirror. My hair was brassy in places, frazzled and almost white in other places, thinned out by the bad cut, with a single path of long hair in the back that looked like a tail! The color was horrific but the cut was Terrible to boot. When I saw my hair in the sunlight and from the back in a photo I was so horrified I cried. I immediately called Freda and she said to come back and she would fix it (I already paid $ 145 plus a $ 30 tip). I thought about it for minute and realized I could not risk further destruction to my hair so I called back and asked for a refund. She initially agreed and I quickly found the salon to fix my hair the same day. I went to Nick at JoLSalon in Liberty station — a life saver! The next day I went back to Freda to pick up an item left at the salon in my haste to leave and inquired when the refund would be processed. Mind you, I spoke with her quietly and to the side because she had other customers and I didn’t want to ruin their experience — and my hair was fixed by Nick, although now comparatively and necessarily shorter. Freda became belligerent and refused to issue a refund insisting that I should have let her have a second shot at my hair. No way! She was screaming at me in front of several customers and when I left a customer inside chased me outside and called me trash. If only they had seen my hair before Nick fixed it. I immediately called my friend that recommended Freda and she said she would take care of it and ensure my money was refunded because she knew her well. Still Freda refused. Now all I can do is warn others about my experience and consider my options legally for this horrific experience. Just be careful!!! My hair will grow back eventually and I’m happy I found Nick (less expensive than my prior salon)! This was the Worst customer service ever!!!

Thank you so much for the excellent service and doing exactly what I want. I always receive so many compliments on my hair. Love this salon and the ladies that work here!

6 Years filled with joy and happiness totally satisfied in every time (me and my friends) and highly recommended to anyone never go wrong with Freda and Jessica they’re the best.

My mom and I have been coming to Freda & Jessica for yrs & I absolutely adore these two! My mom refuses to go anywhere else and they’re always my number 1. The best part? They accept us last minute when we run in & ask them to do our hair for an event without an appt. They style our hair exactly the way we want it… blowdry, updo, curls… etc. we love them!

I googled Hair Salons in El Cajon and came across Fredas. I love the job that she did on trimming my hair and changing my hair color today. I think this is a great salon and from now on I’m going to keep up my hair with Freda.

Ive been going here for a few years, freda and jessica are awesome. They have cut and colored my hair and cut both my kids hair… The blowouts are amazing. By far, the fastest service and the best price… highly recomend them for anyone! :)

They are amzing! I have been going there for over 10 years, driving 45 minutes. Prices are reasonable and they get my blonde just right! ! AMAZING!

Freda and Jessica are the nicest ladies!

My wife went to that saloon and I told her in specific the colors that I wanted. and she just didn‘t do anything of what my wife asked for and ruined her hair. I was so mad for paying $ 75 for nothing other than the damage. next day my wife went back to her and she said that she will fix and she made it even worse this time and i got so so mad this time. I wouldn‘t recommend it.

I don’t have enough words to express on how much I love this place. For years I had the mom do just wash and put up, then one day my daughter brought me to Freda’s.
I had never had my hair done by a profession hairstylist so I did not know what to expect. This was 10 years ago, coming here brought out my true woman. Because when your hair is done you glow.
Freda always knows what is best for you, she is truly a professional and I have grown to love her and the services she provides.
The blowout that Jessica does make me feel like a supermodel no pun intended. My hair shines and flows like when I was a little girl.
I would recommend this salon to all you ladies who just want to feel beautiful and have your glow back. If you ever need an updo or makeup for a special occasion this is the place to be.
Once again I highly recommend this place to all my fellow helpers you will not be disappointed!

Best hairstylist ever! love love when they blow dry my hair they leave it superb! I recommend it.

Most women can never find the «perfect» hair stylist and when they do the stylist ends up moving away or charges them an arm and a leg. It was a struggle for me to find the stylist that did exactly what I want when I visit. I have been committed to Freda’s Hair Salon for the past 10 years and seriously have no interest in seeking trust in another hair stylist. Freda and Jessica have outstanding customer service and always recommend the best advice for their customers because THEY CARE about the health of your hair! Some people got to understand that when you are dark brown and want to be blonde that it’s a process to get the color you’re trying to achieve, so be patient! No matter where I travel, I get compliments on the color and cut (knowing how to style your own hair has a lot to do with the presentation)… If you ever get the chance to make it to San diego, CA and need a 911 hairdo. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Freda’s! For the two hard working women that help make you look pretty and the price… i Promise you won’t be disappointed… All these other one star Unilocal reviews are trash. Instead of reading ridiculous reviews. be the judge and experience these artists yourself! You can thank me later!!!

I love Freda’s hair salon!!! Nothing but the best job done! Been going to this salon for over 13 years and had nothing but great service!

I went looking around EC for a salon that does perms, yes I know they are out of fashion but it’s the only thing that controls my crazy hair, I am a practical woman I don’t do high maintenance stuff.
After stopping by other 6 beauty salons that don’t have someone who does perms or only shows up on certain days if at all on my way back home I passed
by Freda’s and went in to ask, it could not hurt right? well I am glad I did.
Freda and Jessica where very nice and service was fast, I got lucky they where not busy but I recommend you make an appointment because 15 minutes later they had a line out the door.
I am a happy customer I would recommend this salon for sure, prices are fair compared to what I asked in other places in EC.
Place is nice and clean, good environment I most certainly will be back

HORRIBLE!!! I would not recommend anybody to go to Freda’s. I went in to get highlights and sat in the salon for ²¹⁄₂ hours and walked out with the most awful hair ever. my roots were bright blonde and the rest of my highlights looked orange not to mention the «hair cut» she gave me was uneven and she had the nerve to charge me $ 125. It was a waste of money, the least she could have done was fix my roots to match the rest of my highlights. The fact that I had to go buy dye to fix my own roots after paying $ 125 is ridiculous. I will never go back to Freda.
