Young Attitudes

My friend recommended I try a stylist named Olivia here and seriously this was the best advice ever!!! She is very polite, very proper, dresses really well, carries herself very professionally, and takes the time to get to know you and remember you/​things about you.
I am horrible about being on time and am always late by at least 5 – 15 minutes and she has never once complained nor cut my time short. She gives a great complimentary scalp and neck massage, takes a long time massaging/​washing your hair and spends a great deal of time cutting your hair and making sure it is everything that you want. She does use the Aveda products, but has never once pushed me to buy them. She also styles my hair very nicely and I feel amazing when I leave! Highly recommend Olivia!!!
The salon is very clean, well organized. The tea is a must have, I usually get refills because it’s THAT good.

Excelent attention, products and environment. I love this place and the hydration hair treatments.

My wife and I went here with our bridal party to get updos. We had 10 appointments for hair and we had 2 more add on and they worked hard to fit everyone in. One negative is that each stylist is priced different and we were not aware that each one gets different pay. After we spoke to the staff they did make it right and the same price for everyone. Katie and MC did both the brides and they were amazing! Couldn’t be happier with their skills!!!

I went to Young Attitudes for the first time today and could not be more pleased. Stylist Maggie listened to what I wanted done to my hair in regard to a cut and color. She exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning. The salon is clean and has a relaxing atmosphere. The cost was very reasonable. Great all around experience.

I love this place for my hair not only because they are good but also they are super friendly. Which I believe is an essential part of running a hair salon or a therapy clinic. Anybody who is allowed to touch your hair for more than 2 seconds has to be a good friend. My therapist and my hair-​dressers know more about me than my parents.
When I was here last time, I was determined to take all my hair off, get a nice boy look and make my mom happy. Pat listened to me carefully, suggested a few alternatives. And just when he was about to cut it all off, he convinced and taught me how it can be managed with a pony. I’m loving it so far.
I have also had my hair done by Olivia just before I flew for my sister’s wedding in India. And everyone liked my hair, even my mom. They are awesome! Try them. They listen to you.

Carly is my favorite colorist EVER. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. I have had my hair colored at many salons across the US, including many upscale shops in Miami and NYC, and Carly is still my favorite. Now I refuse to go anywhere else for color. She has amazing attention to detail and knows exactly how to apply color so that it doesn’t look stripey or brassy. My brunette hair with subtle bronde (blonde + brown, get it?!) highlights always looks great after Carly colors it. It grows out evenly so that I don’t have to constantly recolor. Also the Aveda products are kinder and less damaging to ones hair.
The Young Attitudes Aveda Salon is located in La Jolla Village Square next door Paper Source. The salon is warm and modern with hardwood floors and an open set-​up. There is also a makeup and Aveda products section at the front of the store by reception.

The ladies here did a great job on my boyfriend’s hair today! Pricing is extremely reasonable at $ 30 for a men’s cut. My boyfriend made a same day appointment looking to get cleaned up before our friend’s wedding and ended up getting paired with a woman who really upped his hair game :). She recommended a cut that he had been curious about but hadn’t yet committed to and we both are really happy with the results :) I wish we remembered the woman’s name because she did a really great job.

I had a great experience getting my hair colored by Katie. I came in with pictures of what I wanted and told her I wanted something warm and close to my natural color. She did an amazing job choosing colors and I’m very happy with the result! I will definitely be back.

The hairdressers are phenomenal at this Aveda franchise. They listen to what you want and make it happen. Every time I come for a haircut, I leave happy.
Beyond the hair cuts, the Aveda line — which they shampoo, condition, and style your hair — works wonders. One of my favorite products is their volumingizing spray. Try it.
I’ve never gotten my make up or nails done at the salon; and yet I must share they do offer these services on the spot.
Lastly, the customer service is great. I love the complimentary tea they serve.

Marilyn was excellent for a shampoo and blow dry! Attentive and great service. Was perfect for me after a long day of traveling.

Thinking of going for a pixie cut? Look no further than Keri. For the past 15 years, I have never been happy enough with a stylist to go back more than twice — until I started going to Keri. About a year ago, she chopped my hair into an awesome pixie cut, and not only do I love it, but I now routinely get stopped by strangers who either just want to tell me they love my hair, or demand to know where I got it cut. No joke — she does that great of a job.

I waited a week before writing this review because I hate writing bad reviews and I kept telling myself I’ll adjust to this terrible haircut.
I’m not a picky person. Paying ~$ 60 — $ 80 for a professional haircut is to be expected. What I did not expect was paying $ 60 for a MASTER stylist to chop off my hair into chunks within 10 minutes. 10 minutes, it took her less than 10 minutes to cut my hair. I am so so so upset. I have never, EVER had a haircut this terrible. Think I’m exaggerating? Check out the photos of my hair. I can’t even look at the mirror. It is THAT BAD. unbelievable!

Haircut — 4 stars
Service — 1 star
It was my first time to Young Attitudes. I checked out the reviews on Unilocal and made an appointment with one of the highly recommended stylists, 1 week in advance. When I get there they say my appointment is actually with some new girl. I should have walked out, but I needed a haircut for an event.
The new girl chattered a lot and said some vaguely odd things. She cut my hair really fast (this was a $ 60 haircut), but it looked good. My receipt said I got their promoted «Stress Relieving Ritual», but unless they count washing my hair, I didn’t get anything.
My haircut was good enough — it ended up being $ 40 because I had a $ 20 first-​timer coupon. But because of stylist bait-​and-​switch, I won’t be back.

This is a good way to describe this place:
It’s the most I’ve ever paid for a haircut in San Diego ($ 55) and the least amount of time a stylist has ever spent cutting my hair (20 minutes max).
I have very long hair and wanted it trimmed a little, with a lot of really short razored layers. I ended up with… The Rachel. Super underwhelming. Several times I tried to ask for higher layers, but there was a miscommunication (even though I came prepared with several pictures) and my stylist had a real reluctance to risk anything outside the typical haircut.

I got my hair done by Marilyn last weekend for a wedding. I wanted an edgy style and showed her an inspiration picture. .. And she killed it! Amazing! I got compliments all night long. Thank you so much!
Oh, and PS, I was originally set for an appointment with Patrick, master stylist, and he was lovely enough to switch with Marilyn, because he knew she’d do an amazing job. Super cool of them!

Had My first hair cut with YA last week and sweet ! they had a first time coupon on their website :)
My review on this place :
Time: I didn’t have to wait much for my hairstylist, I showed up on my appointment time, had a sip of water and was promptly shown to my seat
Service: love the massage start before the hair wash /​cut thingy. kinda make me wish its a full massage then the hair cut. been stressed out lately so the shoulder massage was awesome
Hairstylist: I am not good with names but I think it was Maggie (Or was it Manny ?) who gave me a great cut freshen me up pronto. As I said, stressed out lately, wasn’t in the mood to chatty chat maybe she sense it but I was grateful to just sit back and relax. My overgrown messy bob was promptly put into place.
Ambience: some earlier reviews did say this place looks expensive, but don’t let this scare you ! they are reasonable especially with the www coupon its good service at good price.
No pressure in buying the products (AVEDA) at all. My Hairstylist merely ask if I need any products.

My hair was getting so many split ends even just a month after I had last gotten a haircut, so I went to Young Attitudes earlier today to get a haircut. It was my first time, and they were offering $ 20 off any hair service for first time guests (you need to show them the little flyer from the website)! Originally the haircut was $ 45, but I only paid $ 25 + tip! The price included shampoo/​conditioning, the actual haircut, and styling – for $ 25, I thought it was a really good deal and wouldn’t mind paying full price in the future!
I loved how the receptionist (I think his name was Jacob?) offered me tea while I waited for about 5 minutes before I got my hair cut. It was a really nice gesture!
Codie was my stylist – she was really nice and we had some good conversation during the hour she worked on my hair. :) She did exactly what I wanted her to do (2 inch trim and touch up my layers) and I loved how it turned out after she blow dried it! My hair was sooo bouncy… I walked out and literally could not stop touching/​tousling my hair! I highly recommend Codie and the Young Attitudes Aveda salon for hair styling. Thanks Codie! :)

A great cut, a comfortable atmosphere at a reasonable price.
Pros:
–while the salon looks pristine and intimidating, everyone is super nice and friendly and is not at all snobby; the clientele varies from young hip girls to senior citizens and men of all ages
–there are a ton of stylists, so I’m sure there’s someone for everyone’s tastes and they seem to do a good job of matching a stylist to your needs
–a nice array of Aveda products, including sample sizes and they in no way pressure you to buy anything… the stylist doesn’t even «recommend» anything she uses unless you ask her (the products I have purchased were a little on the pricey side but worked really well… and I knew they would since I had already «used» them when they stylists applied them). I’m pretty certain they will let you test anything though.
–the hair-​washing station is very comfortable (the sinks at most places are awkwardly placed, but they’re great here), as are the chairs
–they serve you tea/​coffee while you wait (which is very rarely more than a few minutes)
–very easy to book appointments and they call you to remind you
–wide variety of services offered (nails, facials, waxing, makeup), even though I’ve only gone for a haircut
–they keep a good, detailed file on you so they can tell what worked before or what colour they used, etc which is helpful if you have to see someone new too
–easy, free parking
–very quiet on Mondays if you don’t like a crowd
–some extended hours (up to 8:30) and even open Sundays
–you get a nice, basic scalp and neck massage while getting your hair cut
–They emailed me a coupon for 20% off if I book for the coming Monday or Tuesday and even though I had already had an appointment booked for the Monday, they still honored the coupon! They even give you a discount if you like their FaceBook page or follow them on Instagram!
–Tara is amazing! I don’t have to tell her what kind of a cut I want, she just goes for it (with some basic guidelines, of course) and does a great job every time, especially making sure the cut is easy to maintain (and in no way judges that I am so delinquent in getting my hair cut!) and style at home (she gives you great tips). Her layers are not at all choppy and she does a great job styling it. She is very friendly, relaxed, but works efficiently. I cannot say enough good things about her.
–Maggie is great too. I see her when Tara is not available and while she doesn’t do quite a good job on my hair (personally), she still does a lovely job. She is also very friendly and easy going. Her haircuts are much quicker and I have a bit more trouble «recreating» them at home. She charges the same amount as Tara, but I find I don’t get exactly quite the «value».
Cons:
–Unfortunately Tara works limited hours and books up quickly, so you have to make an appointment a couple weeks in advance (not really a con, just an warning), but there is always someone else available and they try their best to fit you in.
–It is one long room and on busy Saturdays feels a little cramped, noisy.
–I’ve only ever had one mediocre haircut, when both Tara and Maggie were gone, but its hard to know if that’s just a fluke and even then it wasn’t terrible, just not great
–a little on the pricey side for what I was used to ($ 55 for a hair cut) but if you can afford it, its worth it for the convenient location, good service and great cut
I came here because it was close to my home and looked nice, took a gamble and booked with the person they recommended (Tara) and WON! That was years ago and I’ve been going back since!

Great salon! First found the place when I needed a quick haircut, and in chatting with the hairstylist, I told her that I’d been wanting to try ombré color on my hair for a while, but each place I’d gone to thus far wanted to bleach my hair, and do these processes that would take an hour. Codie, the stylist, explained to me how she’d work in color without all the damaging processing, and I decided to give it a shot. I was able to make an appointment for soon thereafter, and I’m so glad I did! She was a great stylist, and extremely friendly. She checked with me every step of the way if I was ok and comfortable, and answered my many questions about the process.
Once Codie colored my hair she styled it as well, and showed me how so that I could recreate it. I get so many compliments on the color work! Since then I’ve been back for getting my bangs trimmed, and will go back again for color touch-​up and a trim.
It’s not inexpensive, but then, they are doing some real time-​consuming and good work. I’m glad to have found such a talented and friendly stylist!

I had a wonderful experience at Young Attitudes! I am new to the area and was looking for a reasonably-​priced salon to fix my awkwardly overgrown pixie cut.
I found Andy.
He was fun, nice, and professional. One look at my desperate mop of combed-​over hair, and he knew exactly why I was there. :) He took a classic style and gave it a chic, modern touch. I will definitely request him again!
