Pikku Salon

Oh, how I love Flo.
After searching far and wide, I entrusted Flo with my wedding hair. I had a particular vision in mind and she totally got it. I had a blast at my updo trial and by the time I walked out I had several great options for my big day, but even better, I felt like we were good friends. She truly knows how to craft an updo and I was very impressed at the variety of looks she showed me in our short time together.
On my big day, my typically unruly, heavy head of hair stayed put even through all my crazy dance moves. Plus she made my bridesmaids look amazing in all their varied requests — braids, updos, old hollywood style curls, and more.
If I lived in San Diego, I’d definitely get my hair cut and colored by Flo. Flo, I miss you!

This is the new location of Pikku Salon. There’s no customer parking lot, so you’ll need to find street parking. There’s a lot around the area, so you shouldn’t have much trouble with that. The entrance is on the Broadway side of the building towards the center of the block/​building. You’ll have to get buzzed in to enter the building, they’re suite 102.
The salon is cute and intimate and has a clean, open, welcoming setup. As you walk in, they have a section showcasing their merchandise, a nice little waiting area, and, I believe, 3 hairdresser stations. As soon as you enter, you are kindly greeted and offered a beverage.
Spoke with both Flo, the owner, and Gercy. Both are very sweet and extremely talented. They do female and male hair ranging from haircuts, styling, coloring, updos, braiding. You name it, pretty sure they do it.
Make sure you make an appointment and give them a try if you haven’t already!

I love Flo. Lest this be a weirdly long love letter, I’ll just get to the point:
* She *always* gives a great cut.
* Her salon is a cool place to be and makes the otherwise somewhat banal activity of getting your hair cut feel like a fun hangout.
* Talking with her is fun, so having your hair cut by her just feels like hanging out with a really fun friend — which is what she becomes, instantly.
* She knows style, and has good style, so she helps you have style.
* She makes you feel good.
* Flo is awesome
* Pikku is great
* A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ with extra credit
Did you know:
* She has an amazing singing voice?
* Her husband Ian is an incredible photographer?
* She has a really entertaining instagram account?
* She is an illustrator?
* Susie loves Flo 4eva?

Flo is EVERYTHING!!! After a few pretty crazy wedding trials, my sister (who may now be referred to as my wedding savior) referred me to Flo, now a.k.a. Patron Saint of Wedding Hair. Flo is warm, patient, and talented. She listens and creates exactly what you’re hoping for. (Listening — not always a big thing in the bridal industry…) In searching for a wedding hair stylist, I just happened to find an all-​around awesome stylist!!!
In the time leading up to my wedding, I went to her for color, a cut, and multiple stylings, and loved it every time. At the wedding itself, the other girls were amazed at how her wedding hair stylist talents could do an updo at 8am that was still functional at 1am! She did both long hair and updos perfectly. Everyone was thrilled with their hair. She does bridal makeup as well, but I had such a long list of people wanting her hair skills that was had to skip it. HIGHLY recommend her makeup services (see «she actually listens to you», above).
In the bridal suite with us, she was like part of the party. She brings talent and great energy where she goes. She’s now offering additional wedding services (flowers/​event design) that I would have used if they had existed at that time (ask her!) Pikku Salon is an adorable home base for her hair and makeup services. Flo/Pikku’s prices are more than reasonable and it’s an awesome feeling to support such a well-​run, growing business.

Florence and an assistant did our hair for my wedding. They both did a great job! I found Florence through my makeup artist Kristine. They are a great team for wedding services! First I met her for a trial session and we tried 3 different updos. They were all pretty and she made good suggestions. I was so excited after my trial!
Pricing was very reasonable and everything was smooth the morning of my wedding. She met us early at my venue, Crowne Plaza San Diego. Florence is very entertaining and my mom, bridesmaids and I really enjoyed her company! We were all happy with our hairstyles that day and are grateful to her for making us beautiful!

It took me so long to find a colorist in San Diego who knew what they were doing and understood the actual science of hair. I found Flo via Instagram and loved her work right away. I made my first appointment with her and she gave me all the info I needed prior to coming in for that first meeting.
Firstly, parking is a plus in this area. Street parking, but no time restrictions and that’s absolutely important when you go in for a 4-​hour long appointment! Her salon was very easy to find.
Right off the bat, Flo was so easy to talk to. It seemed as if I’d known her for years! She definitely listens to what you want as well, and she will also suggest and recommend things that would work for you & the well being of your mane.
I got a color, cut and style for a very reasonable price compared to other salons that tend to charge crazy amounts for results you didn’t want.
Flo will definitely be the colorist I go to when I’m in San Diego. Good ones are just so hard to find these days!

I will never go to anyone else ever again. I’ve tried and failed miserably. You’ll always wonder why you didn’t go back to Pikku Salon. Florence is just the best and you’ll never find a stylist like her. Amazing, amazing. Just amazing.

I searched for an «eco friendly» salon through Unilocal and Pikku was one of many that popped up. The reviews and pictures helped in solidifying my decision to try this salon out and I couldn’t have been more happy about my decision
Flo communicates and listens very well to all your hair needs. She has a lively personality that made the whole experience fun. We talked about anything and everything! She uses cleaner shampoo/​conditioner products which was my biggest concern since I have switched to green beauty products.
The only reason I am not giving it all 5 stars is because this is my first visit. I’m sure in the future I’ll be changing it to 5.

Location: behind Counterpoint on the 2^nd floor
Service: cut & color
Time: 4.5 hrs
So it’s been 3 months and I finally remember to write a review. Oops!
Flo is very accommodating. I work two jobs and one of my job i don’t find out the schedule until the week before ugh! However Flo somehow manage to fit me in! She’s very friendly and put me to ease right away (hair salon virgin). I asked a lot of questions and changed my mind about hair color like 1254 times haha. She never got tired of answering my questions and she also gave really honest feedback (aka that shade will NOT work), plus got some life lessons.
She turned a natural asian black to an ashy blonde color. Everyone loves the color! I will post pics of 3 months ago and current.
… hmm not sure what else to write … well 3 months later and it’s not orange yet! Yay purple shampoo.
Yes i totally recommend! Need to schedule another appt…

I have gone to several hairstylists since I could afford my own haircuts. I have spent anywhere from $ 60-​$ 100+ on a haircut and I have not been pleased. That is until I came to Flo! Anything she does with my hair is fantastic. I always get compliments on my hair. She could probably shave my head and still make me look fabulous! I trust no one else with my beauty needs except for Pikku Salon. This place is THE spot for all your hair care needs.

Ah! I love Flo :)! I’ve come to the salon about 3 times now, and she’s seriously the only person I trust with my hair. She doesn’t treat you like «just a client» but a real friend. She always listens to the ideas I come in with, and then works with me to make them even better.
Pikku is by appointment only and she caters to just you during your appointment. Having no one else there makes me feel very comfortable asking any hair questions I have. Flo is such an amazing person! I don’t know why I’d ever go to anyone else! :)

My old hairstylist was starting to slack and the results are no longer as good as they use to be so I started looking for a new place. I got recommended to Pikku Salon by a coworker and I have been going here since. Florence, the owner, is extremely welcoming and sweet. Not only does she do a great job at cut and color but I never felt like she was rushing to get my hair done so that she can move on to the next client. She takes her time to make sure I’m satisfy— and that is why I keep on coming back. Not only is she great at what she does but she also listens. Go to see Flo at Pikku Salon– you will not regret it!

Pikku Salon is just damn adorable. It’s so cute and real intimate. This was the first time in about 5 years that I’ve used a different stylist and I am so very happy I did. Florence is just amazing. Super talented, damn cute, and sassy– I like it. haha. She listened to what I wanted and she knew how to treat Asian hair.
I wanted to keep my length but to update my layers with more volume as well as update my ombré with hints of red. And she did an amazing job! She complimented the updated ombré by adding additional low lights (i think thats what theyre called? lol) so when my hair grows out– it wouldn’t look intense with my natural very dark hair. thinkin’ two steps ahead… this girrlllll lol. And my hints of red pops out!
Pikku Salon is by appointments only– which is nice because then you have alone time with her and she gives you her 150% attention. Awesome and amazing establishment/​stylist/​everything. She is my new hair stylist.
Oh! and she’s eco-​friendly!

I went to see Flo after one of my friend’s wife highly recommended her. If I could give her more stars I would.
I recently had a baby and my hair was falling out and breaking off so bad to the point where I thought I was going to go bald =). When I saw her I expressed my concerns to her, she listened and reassured me that although my hair loss was more than usual I will not go bald.
First off I have never had my hair short so I loved the way she approached my hair cut. She made sure I was satisfied with it (which is important when you have had long hair all of your life). When she was done I was completely satisfied! I love my hair cut, not only does it hide my thinness but it ultimately made me feel 100% better about my hair. I amazing how a simple hair cut can make a woman feel better about herself, especially when you are experiencing hair loss.
Also unlike other hairdressers Flo did not push me to buy products she sold, she was completely honest about the products she recommended (that alone is a plus). I will follow her recommendations and will definitely be going back to keep up with my hair style.
Thank Thank Thank you Flo =)

I have had the same basic haircut for about 6 months now. I gave Florence complete creative control (only thing I said was «I want it short!»).
I have NEVER received so many compliments on my hair. Seriously, when people ask «what do others first notice about you» I now have a ready answer. I am a lucky lady to have met Florence when I did!

I got my hair cut by Florence and she did a fantastic job! She gave me a really cute cut and explained a few techniques she used to complement my hair type (straight, Asian hair), while giving me style tips along the way. She listens to what you want and offers great suggestions as well. Not only was she a great stylist, but she was a lot of fun to be with. She has a bubbly & positive attitude that is refreshing.
The salon itself is stylish and cute. I’d imagine finding a salon like this somewhere in downtown Tokyo: it’s cozy, modern and employs an über-​efficient use of the space. My hair looked good and I felt relaxed and inspired after being there. The location is convenient and the next time I get a cut I will save my appetite for a bite to eat downstairs at Counterpoint.

Love this salon, love Flo, love the location!
Flo did an awesome job with my hair – definitely will go back again!
Cherry on top:
You can hang out at Counterpoint before/​after your visit and shop some amazing vintage finds at Nest downstairs. Total win.

I love this place, you feel so comfortable the moment you are there. The ambience is really laid back and clean. Both Florence and Robyn are very cool and helpful. Florence did my hair and I was very happy with the results, I’ve never had a hair do that looked so good. I highly recommend this place.

This quaint and cozy salon is theeee perfect place to get one’s hair done. Although a new business, this place boasts of talented stylists (Flo and Robyn) and delightful atmosphere –they really know what they’re doing! I’ve been getting my hair done by Flo and will never go to anyone else! Her talent is impeccable and you won’t know what your hair’s missing out on until she does her magic with it. In my case, I have extremely thin hair that always falls limp; whenever I fix it, it never stays. But every time Flo fixes it; the volume does not only look fab, but it lasts!!! All day!!! And her highlights are to die for! Trust me. call her now, she’s appointment only!
