Mariposa Salon

Deborah Knight has been my hair designer for about 4 years now and I love her! She knows exactly what I like I would not change her for the world. no one understands my hair like she does.

Loved the pedicure I got today from Jennifer. My toes and feet feel awesome and the color is so fun!

Deborah Knight is the best hair stylist (and she is also very easy on the eyes)!! I am extremely careful with my hair and reluctant to trust just anyone to cut, color and style my hair… and Deborah has proved to be extremely trustworthy and professional. I see her every five weeks and am always delighted with her work!
After I moved to San Diego in 1999, I kept going back to northern California for haircut and color until a friend recommended Deborah in 2007. Since then, she is my favorite! Everywhere I go, perfect strangers stop and ask me who cuts my hair.
Deborah is a perfectionist and she works miracles to add texture and direction to my fine blond hair. She combines an intelligent approach with her own gifted technique and artful application of knowledge and skill. She takes the time to consult with me, and she has the ability to listen and remember our conversations from months (and years) ago. She considers me as a whole person, and consistently gives me the best treatment specifically for me – to complement my facial features and to give me the style and look that works best for my lifestyle and personality. After each session with Deborah, I feel gorgeous, sexy and supported.
To make sure I can get on her calendar, I usually book my next appointment when I see her, but her on-​line booking service is the most efficient way to make that happen — it automatically sends a reminder to my calendar. If I need to contact Deborah between haircuts, she makes herself accessible and responds to my messages within a very reasonable time.
I’m delighted to see Deborah Knight at the Mariposa Salon because all the staff there is professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I enjoy the sound of pleasantly upbeat but unobtrusive background music while there… it’s a real treat to be pampered in this salon that is designed to be user-​friendly with fixtures and furniture that are state-​of-​the art and ergonomically correct to maximize support for both staff and clients. Spending time at the Mariposa Salon is pure pleasure — and when my two hours in Deborah’s chair come to a close, I reluctantly depart and make room for the next lucky client, …but I’ll be back!

I was worried in the first salon. But they were wonderful.
I recommend Ariel. A haircut skill is high. And she’s nice. Thank you Ariel!
I recommend about you in Japanese.

I came here on a whim, after researching hair extensions for a wedding I am in next weekend. I met with Rebecca and she was wonderful! Gave me great suggestions, didn’t try to sell me something I didn’t want or need! She accommodated my hectic moving schedule and did my hair with great timing! It’s gorgeous and she’s right, I’ve grown addicted!!’ Best part is nobody even realizes I had it done I recommend her highly!

Impressive salon. Fabulous décor. Professional, talented staff. The salon is a very relaxing environment with great snacks and drinks. Rebecca, Lanie and Deborah are lovely to work with and really care. They will do what it takes so you are 110% thrilled with your hair. I sought out short hair specialists including low-​lites/​hi-​lites. I have gone back after a few days to make minor adjustments to the cut or color at no charge. It is worth your time to check them out especially if you live in North County.

First time coming to Mariposa Salon. The place is super clean and nicely decorated. and I absolutely love my nails. The service was amazing and she makes sure your nails come out perfectly. This is the first salon I’ve ever been to where they put so much care into your nails. Thank you Jennifer!!! If you need to get your nails done I highly recommend Mariposa Salon! Booking is also done by phone or online!

Lanie did an awesome job on my 10 month old baby boy. It was his first hair cut and I was scared… but Lanie made both of us feel at ease and the haircut was a breeze with an end result of handsome young boy.

Lanie is THE best! She does a terrific job on my hair and is extremely thorough. Her process takes far less time than other salons and I always leave LOVING my hair. Salon is very nice, clean and modern. So glad I found Lanie!

Lanie Sigler is a Super Stylist!
I was really scare to try a new stylist so decided first to talk to salons guru ;). Was pleasantly surprised how Lanie felt her confidence and complete understanding of my worries. She kindly introduce me with her clients portfolio… So I took all my strength and went to salon for a colour and refreshing my fringe (bang). Yay!!! Lanie is a total magician! I am more than happy with a result. My hair does look natural, shiny and 100% ready for summer!
Highly recommend Mariposa Salon!

Thank you for doing such a beautiful job on my daughter’s highlights today. The products you used made her hair feel and look soft and silky, not dry and brittle. Your salon is beautifully set-​up. I’m delighted to have found our new family hair stylist. We can’t wait to get our manicure and pedicures done next time.

My colorist/​stylist did a number on my curly hair. This salon was great at fixing my hair but too hard trying to get another appointment booked. Tired a few times but had to go somewhere because nobody has gotten back to me.

Loved being at a new spa, and having a nail tech I could talk to. They served champagne, and I love my manicure. However one nail started to chip right away and I’m bummed that I won’t be able to fix it until next week. Super glue until then I guess? Also needs more gel color options but they will get there!

This place is amazing!!! Rebecca saved my hair from a brassy mess someone else inflicted. The salon is beautiful and relaxing. I was absolutely thrilled with the end product and I can’t recommend it enough.

Best salon I’ve ever been to! It’s absolutely beautiful! I have super thick Native American hair and have not been able to find anyone in San Diego to do it right since I left Arizona 4 years ago. Well now I’ve found Randy Swan and the search is over! He is amazing! His techniques are what won me over. Thanks Randy, see you in December!

Randy Swan is fantastic. I’ve never had someone spend so much time/​attention to a haircut. He won’t finish until you are absolutely satisfied with the results.
His credentials are amazing, he worked for Vidal Sassoon previously. Randy is super friendly and professional to boot. I suggest any of you reading this book an appointment with him at Mariposa right away!
Speaking of Mariposa, it’s one of the nicest salons I’ve ever been to. It’s quaint, but the interior décor is amazing. If you’re anywhere near Carmel Valley, which is central to most everything in Northern San Diego, definitely check this place out, you won’t be disappointed!

If you need a hair cutting specialist, book an appointment with Randy Swan. Randy specializes in haircutting, meaning he does not offer color. The reason for this is so he can give his clients the best haircut. He generally works alongside a colorist who also specializes in color only. This is a great method because they are able to excel in one area of hair. He is a true artist, offering the best cut for your hair texture, face shape, etc. In addition to his vast knowledge of hair cutting and experience in the industry, he is professional and friendly! Best of San Diego.

BEST hairstylist EVER !! Randy Swann has been cutting my hair for a several years and is in my opinion the best trained, competent, and amazing hairstylist in the business. He was classically trained by Vidal Sassoon and Paul Mitchell which is evident in his techniques. The first time he cut my hair it looked better than what anyone else has ever achieved. After my first visit I thought Randy just took a little extra time and got lucky. I certainly didn’t expect to have the same results upon my next visit but wow was I surprised; because not only did he cut it the same he refined his tactics and made it even better! I seriously can’t say enough good things about Randy and hope you discover how amazing he is.

The Salon is very clean and relaxing and the staff is welcoming and super friendly. I like that you can go to one spot to do your hair, get your nails done, buy product and make-​up all in one shot. Rebecca the owner, does an amaziong job on my super thick and long blonde hair. She really listens to what I want and is a perfectionist!!! I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

A MUST GO salon in SD! I have a frizzy curly hair, and I’ve visited many salons in SD; Randy at Mariposa is the only hair stylist who knows how to work with my hair and he does an amazing job every time, and I get lots of compliments!
