Shearology Salon

I came in for a consultation and the owner wasn’t the friendliest person to talk to. You know when you go to a place and they make it seem like you have ugly hair? That’s the kind of way I felt here. Also the prices to me were way overpriced considering this is a hair salon in a strip mall in a middle class part of town. I felt like when I asked questions I already wasn’t wanted.

The only person that has ever done my hair was my mother, however; she is 2,500 miles away and since moving to San Diego, I’ve only ever got my hair cut once. The stylist barely took time to look at my hair. I ended up with choppy, uneven haircut. I won’t mention where I got it done, but let’s just say, I was NOT a happy camper.
Fast forward a month and I was in dire need of a hair cut and color. Something new and fresh for Fall. I asked around and checked out my trusty Unilocal app, and low and behold, Shearology pops up. I read through the reviews, and they were all pretty great. What I liked was that Debbie replied to clients and could tell she genuinely cared and wanted to resolve whatever the issues were.
I booked an appointment with her last week, luckily she had an opening today, it was meant to be! When I walked in, we talked about what I wanted to do with my hair, she told me she watched some YouTube videos and had some ideas herself. Luckily, we were on the same page, I wanted to lighten my golden/​brassy balayge to a nice softer brown. Perfect for Fall! After the color, she dried off my hair and cut it dry, just like my mom did. She explained they do this so that they can see the way my hair falls. Debbie really took time to check my ends, and evenness of my hair. I could tell she really cared!
I’ve never trusted anyone besides my mother with my hair, but now I trust Debbie! Thank you again for the cut and color, I love it! Pictures to come, I will be back!

The people at Shearology are professional, fun and talented stylists. My stylists MK, is amazing at knowing just what I want even when I don’t. I trust her so much that I don’t even look at what she’s doing until she’s done she’s that good. MK is a genius with African American hair and ladies if you want to walk out with your hair feeling soft, shiny and looking beautiful, MK at Shearology is the one to see!

I called and spoke to Debbie and she was able to fit me in that same day. I had previously had my hair cut and the gal just didn’t get what I was askin her to do.
Well Debbie knew exactly what I wanted and fixed my hair. She is very kind and super friendly and she did an amazing job!!! I will most definitely be returning to her! Thank you so much for such a great experience!!!

Antoinette was AMAZING! I am very picky and i could say i am very pleased with my hair. She listened and did exactly what i asked for! I am glad i found this spot. I would recommend and come back for sure! I can now say i found my new hairstylist! :-D Unilocal was very accurate with its reviews!

Very pleased customer.
In need of a haircut, I was able to make a quick appointment with Debbie earlier this week. She was able to make a couple suggestions with the layers for my haircut which turned out awesome.
Living very close, I have visited this salon three times and so far all of my experiences have been good. It is evident they clearly care about customer service.

I have been wanting to get a professional weave for a long time, but was scared. Finally, I saved some money and bit the bullet. I found this place online after hearing it mentioned on a talk show. I was there for what seemed to be forever. I was dubious but excited. The process was strange… and when they were done the hair was really long, longer than I wanted. But they did that on purpose so they can cut the weave in a hairstyle of my choice. I can’t believe it. It looks AMAZING! I’m hooked and don’t think I will go without a weave ever again!

I tried this place after being referred by a neighbor and I have to say I was pretty happy I gave it a shot! I’m very simple with my hair, I get a trim and thinning done every couple months so I can grow it out long enough to donate (I have very thick hair). Getting a simple trim and thinning should be a hard thing to mess up, well, after my experience at my lady salon I realized it’s actually not! My hair got butchered! So of course u was scared to try a new place.
I called and made an appointment with Joulie and she was amazing. She’s so friendly and easy to talk to. I had some good laughs with her. My hair turned out amazing! I have zero complaints and I will definitely be back!!!

I’m excited to write this review. I am very picky about my hair, it’s thin and frail, I need a FREAKING PRO to get the job done right. After recently moving I needed to find a new salon, which is always nerve wrecking. I found Shearology on Unilocal,and after tons of research, I decided to give them a shot.
I called and booked an appointment through Debbie, she was friendly over the phone, and gave me a rough quote, and I was excited I could come in later that afternoon.
I got to my appointment a bit early to check the scene, and was pleased! First off on a hot sticky day, their AC made me very happy! The place looks recently remodeled, and up to date! All the staff made eye contact, and I was greeted, I felt at home!
Moments later I was introduced to Antoinette, unaware that she would be my NEW FAVORITE STYLIST!
She sat me down and listened to me blab about how I recently fried and killed my hair, that I needed a challenging cut, due to what chunked off, and just a TINY bit of color, because shoot, I love being blonde!
She went over with me what she saw, how she could blend my CHOP OF DISASTER, and be sure to only add color to the new, non damaged bleached hair! She elaborated very clearly where she’d be putting the foils, and how she would keep my hair looking natural. I was ready to go!
We def hit it off right away! Antoinette was super friendly and was way easy to talk to! She listened to me flap, and had some interesting stories to share! Time flew by, and we were both laughing off and on!
As the foils came out I could tell she did an awesome color job. We started the cut, which took a tad bit extra effort to blend my awkward chop out, she took her time, layered me up a bit, it was looking great, and all my dead ends were taking care of!
After my fancy blow dry, I knew I LOVED my cut! It looked more perfect than ever! She did better than I thought it could ever come out! Thanks Antoinette!!!

I was looking for a place to get my haircut, on a Sunday, and found Shearology on Unilocal.I called them and they had an appointment for me. I arrived, it wasn’t busy and there was little wait to be seated in a chair. I was seen by Joulie Medosch. As I never know what to do with my hair, she had ideas and did not hesitate to share them with me. Joulie was professional and took her time cutting, coloring, and styling my hair. I will be seeing her again for follow up haircuts.

Lolita was awesome. I gave the place a shot because it was nearby my gym and I am glad I did. Lolita gave great honest advice and helped me decide on hair cut that I was initially afraid to do because it was so short but she made me feel comfortable about it and it turned out great ! Will def return

Debbie really knows her stuff! I was frustrated with my hair and have been trying to grow it out and figure out what to do with my old color. Debbie knew exactly what to do! I am happy to say I have now found my new hair dresser! Highly recommend her!

beautiful salon! Professional, friendly, fashion savy stylists! I’m growing out a pixie and debbie gave me the perfect bob!

I had a bad experience with hair color but Debbie the owner went above and beyond to make it right. I really appreciate her taking the time to listen and genuinely care about my concerns. I would recommend Debbie or Antoinette if you go here!

We all have those times where we desperately need a haircut, whether it be because we haven’t properly maintained our hair (guilty) or we fried our hair by not using proper heat protectant (guilty). Today, I finally bit the bullet and decided to rid myself of my damaged ends and I stumbled upon Shearology Salon.
Now, I have had PLENTY of terrible haircuts in the past, and because of this I get nervous to put my locks in someone else’s hands. However, at Shearology, as I would come to learn, you won’t have to worry.
I found parking in the strip mall and I walked into the store. I was quickly greeted and one of the ladies looked at the appointment book and said I could be fit in at that moment. I was excited that I wouldn’t have to return later in the day, so plus one for that.
Mallory, my stylist, introduced herself to me and led me to the hair washing station. She washed my hair and eventually brought me to the chair to have my hair cut. She talked with me and before long we were conversing like we were friends. All the other ladies seemed to be very talkative with their clients as well.
After an hour, Mallory revealed my new style to me, and I loved it! She has he magic touch for my hair. I will definitely be returning to Mallory for my next hair cut and I highly recommend her to anyone who has hair anxiety like myself.

I thought the short haircut I showed the stylist was pretty straightforward and she assured me that she would layer it like in the picture… as the haircut progressed, I kept asking if she was going to layer it… and it never got to the point where it looked decent… probably one the worst haircuts I’ve had in my life. Second only to having my hair cut as a child using a bowl upside down on my head as a guide.

I am boiling with anger at how horrible this establishment treats their customers. I called not once but twice to get the availability for today around 2:30 p.m. I spoke with Debbie, the owner I think, and was told that she was booked at 2:30 p.m. but that she had 3pm available. On the second call I confirmed I would take Thursday at 3 p.m. and the price which that be stated would be discounted for the first time since she could tell I had never been there before. Sounds good so far, right? That changed after walking a mile, getting to the appointment early, walking in and telling the receptionist I was Debbie’s 3 p.m. appointment and having her respond with a blank stare and say «let me just call Debbie, one second» before she stepped outside to make the call. I’ve been working in customer service long enough to know Debbie was NOT going to be cutting my hair at 3pm and I was about to be told information that would really piss me off.
Let me just premise that I am not the type of person who does well with waiting around, being unproductive. That is why I spent an hour researching hair salons that were walking distance from the car shop I was leaving my car to get fixed, that didn’t have horrible reviews. I selected shearology because it was a mile walk from the auto shop and the few reviews they had didn’t all suck (it was slim pickings for a decent salon in this area). I was a little concerned when I did not get a confirmation call for the appointment because I figure this is something you would do with any client, especially a first time customer. I was tempted to call in to confirm before making the mile walk but for whatever reason gave the salon benefit of the doubt and headed over. So after the receptionist tells me «Debbie had you down for yesterday and when you didn’t show up she just figured you couldn’t make it.» I was beyond frustrated. Isn’t that nice you have a first time customer «no-​show» after not even confirming the appointment and you don’t decide to call and see if they want to reschedule to keep the business? Or more than that, if you notice the appt is not there after 5−10min, to call and see if they were having trouble finding the place? Nope. Nothing. No call back the same day, the day after… It really shows how important new businesses is to Debbie. So now I get to walk 1 mile back to my car without the hair cut I diligently scheduled for today at 3pm so I could look nice for my boyfriends birthday dinner tonight. So much for not wasting my time, Shearology is the biggest waste of time I’ve ever encountered and now it’s too late to schedule at another salon. I will not be back. I’m just SO angry that Debbie’s flighty business practices ruined my afternoon and she offered NO solution to make this right other than to have me sit there while a client (who wasn’t even there yet) started and finished their haircut and THEN I could have mine done. Sorry I don’t have two hours to wait here for a cut that was quoted to take 30 – 45 minutes. Thanks for nothing Debbie, get your act together!

I have gone to see Joy at Shearology three times now, and have really liked my cut/​style/​color each time. She is very reasonably priced and gives a discount if you mention Unilocal OR if you send her a referral. She doesn’t push products on you (which I hate because I always buy them and then never use them again) and most importantly she is efficient with time. In and out in a reasonable amount of time, and she doesn’t double-​book (HUGE pet peeve.)
Close to my house, answers text messages quickly, and does a great job. 5 stars from me!

I absolutely LOVE this place! Debbie is my hair stylist and she is amazing! I am a brat with my hair but she totally listens to what i want to do and makes it happen (even better than i explained to her haha).
She is always chatty and hilarious. I enjoy the hour or so i spend there! They have a great staff and for a salon, have great prices. I completely trust Debbie and the staff! It is a fun environment, great location and the place is spotless!
They have good hours & they do walk ins too! They do women, men, and children’s hair – one stop shop for the family!
I am so happy i stumbled across this place – my mom goes to Debbie now too!
You will be beyond satisfied with the staff, location, and prices! Go check it our for yourself! Just love them!!!

Even though Shearology is technically a new salon, everyone working there has been cutting and styling hair for YEARS, most of them formerly at Golden Touch near Fashion Valley. These are experienced stylists. I’ve seen dozens of people leave after having their hair cut by the other stylists here and it always looks awesome.
As for the salon itself, it’s a very open space with tile floors and fancy black chairs and sinks. It’s gorgeous, clean, and inviting.
I’ve been seeing Debbie, the owner, for a long time. She always does a fantastic job, whether it’s highlights, a new haircut, or «just a trim». I’m a student so I don’t have the time or need for a cut that I need to blow-​dry everyday. Debbie always gives me a cut that is exactly attuned to my needs and lays nicely. She is incredibly consistent and great at her job, and has been cutting hair for forever. She’s also nice and fun to talk to! I also have a pretty specific style – a medium-​short bob with bangs – and she always gets it right. I get compliments on my hair really often thanks to her.
I know they have a first-​timers discount going on right now too, so y’all should get on that.
