Best

Dario's has wonderful professional stylists. I've been there twice and their cuts look good for weeks on end. Highly recommended!

Worst

I went to Darios expecting a higher level of service. I was very specific about wanting a quick, dry cut. They said no problem. I told her several times not to wash my hair. She w...

Great service. 11/9/2007

Dario is an amazing colorists and a true sweetheart!! I just moved from NYC and was concerned about finding a colorist that could match my color. Not only did Dario match it perfectly, but he made it richer and shinier than ever!! I absolutely love it! He has definitely gained my trust, and you better believe I will be back again. Thank you!!\r \r \r Pros: Exceptional salon with exceptional staff!! more

SPECTACULAR ""FABULOUS EXPERIENCE"" 10/27/2007

I have a relatively simple hairstyle and it's hard to make it spectacular. \r I went to Dario Salon on a recommendation from a friend who read this reviews and had a fabulous experience. \r The people at the salon were all friendly and Dario is just a very fun guy- so much fun to talk to and a very good listener. Dario took his time with my hair, doing a number of touch-ups even after it was dried, and did a fantastic job. 3 weeks later I am still very pleased. He was kind and complimentary and didn't insist on putting lots of product in my hair so it was one of the first times I've stepped out of a salon and not wondered what my hair would look like on a normal (product-less) day. \r Great experience. \r \r \r Pros: The receptionist was very accommodating with my appointment. more

Completely satisfied. 10/26/2007

I have spent years going to hair salons all over San Diego, and until last week was yet to walk out of one feeling completely satisfied. However, after my visit to Dario Salon I have finally found the fantastic salon I've been looking for! \r \r I was treated extremely well by staff from the second I walked into the salon until the second I stepped out the door. I absolutely loved the buzzing and fun environment. I have received more compliments than ever about my new hair style and find it extremely easy to maintain with the products and tips the stylist recommended. I will be returning without a doubt, and will definitely be recommending Dario salon to friends.\r \r Pros: Atmosphere and staff, Shannon very personable girl. more

WORST SALON EXPERIENCE 10/25/2007

I was very VERY DISAPPOINTED with my experience here. It was my first time in a salon in San Diego and I saw that Dario Salon had a lot of good reviews on Citysearch. However, when I went in at my appointed time, i had to wait an hour before Dario even came up to me to look at my hair. He quoted me a price for highlights and a cut, which I thought was high but decided to go ahead with it since Dario was supposed to be really good. However, it was his assistant that worked on my hair the entire time. She highlighted it, shampooed it and blow-dryed it. Dario only cut my hair. AND THE ENTIRE PROCESS TOOK 7 HOURS because THEY OVERBOOKED and were working on other customers in between my appt. I thought the entire experience was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL since it was Dario who quoted me a price and he did not even work on my hair. To top it off, the color has started to wash out a couple washes later. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SALON TO ANYONE. more

Absolutely the BEST!!!! A++++++ 10/19/2007

I highly recommend Dario Salon. It was an absolutely fantastic experience! I recently moved down here from LA and I was very nervous about changing salons. The moment I walked into the salon, I was immediately greeted by nearly everyone and then offered a cold drink. I had the pleasure of having Dario and Shannon work on my hair. Shannon was positive delight?super funny and very professional. Dario is a master with scissors and color. I was so grateful to have such a wonderful experience that I am now telling everyone I know to go to this salon. My hair has never looked better! And I have never received so many compliments!!!! A++++ Pros: You'll always leave looking great! Nice & clean environment. Super friendly staff!!! Cons: Parking can be tricky, but the staff will keep an eye out to make sure you do not get a ticket if you stay longer than is allowed. more

BEST HAIR PEOPLE! 10/3/2007

Can't say enough about how happy I am with my haircut. After a big mistake done to my hair, I went to Dario's. I don't know how in the world they fixed the hair I had left, but they did! Since you get there, they start looking at your hair, how it will look better on you, listen to what you want and from there is like making art out of your hair. Beacuse that's what they are, a hair artist! Don't spend any more money going to mediocre places, instead just go see... you'll be pleased! On top of that, the atmosfere is awesome, Rebecca gives you the best hair shampoo in the world, even with some massage! Awesome experience. I'm not planning on going anywhere else ever! Thanks to your reviews I found this fabulous place. Pros: Rebecca A+++ thank you. dario I love your place. staff A+++ Cons: parking could be a problem...was not for me. more

Simply the best 8/24/2007

I haven't been to a salon in years and my hair needed serious treatment. I scheduled a consultation and he cut and colored my hair that same day! I came in thinking it was just a consultation and that I'd have to schedule another appt. but he wanted to do it right then and there AND it was his day off. I was like, wow thank you so much! There was miscommunication about my natural hair color but he corrected it and was very patient and understanding since it took almost 6 hours. But it was all worth it. I loved the result and would recommend his services to everyone. more

Genius cut and color! ***** 8/2/2007

It seems like there are as many salons in La Jolla as plastic surgeons in south of California, so you know how hard it is to find a good stylist you can stick to. Since last summer, I've been going to see Dario whenever my hair is dying for some attention. I was referred to him by a friend, and he's done not only great haircuts on me, but fantastic color, and even a japanese hair relaxer which turned out 100 times better then I thought it could for my frizzy hair. He takes the time to listen to what ""look"" you want, and he always gets it just right. I always ask for some kind of choppy, textured, long/short combo cut which is hard to explain, so it's been messed up by other stylists in the past, but not with Dario. He takes his time, and I've always been super happy when I leave the salon. I highly recommend him for all your hair needs so make your appointment now. Maria, who works front desk, is amazing too! \r What other people have said here is true!. more

Go see Dario! 7/27/2007

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your recommendation of Dario and I wanting to echo this because I had such a wonderful experience. I saw his advertisement on CitySearch and everyone spoke so highly of him and I thought I'd give him a try and I am proud to say I've found my dream stylist!! He takes so much time with his clients and really makes you feel comfortable. We spoke for about 10 minutes about my hair. What texture it was, how it would look best with my face shape, the proportion of my face and neck and how my hair could be more flattering, and the best length my layers could be for me. I've never had a stylist talk to me about those things and it was really awesome to know that he knew what he was doing. Everything was so individualized. I highly recommend him as a great stylist and a really wonderful person. Stylists like him don't come around very often so go see Dario QUICK! Pros: everything Cons: parking can be a problem but it wasn't for me more

The best decision I ever made! 6/19/2007

After going to a few different ""cool"" and ""trendy"" salons La Jolla finally found one that does it right and an amazing stylist to boot! Many places will tel you they will give you an awesome cut, but really what they do if have a ""look"" that they repeat on all their clients. Which, for girls with curly hair like me, doesn't work. Dario gave my hair a great shape and a super hot cut. I get so many compliments and head turns when I walk down the street it really has given me a confidence boost which I didn't expect. The best thing about Dario is that he knows how to a give a sophiticated cut that is modern yet tailored to your face. He has a great sense of style and gives truly inspired cuts. I have seen his other clients leaving as I come in and their hair looked equally as good- amazing color as well. He also happens to be very funny and enjoyable to be around - (it is the worst when you feel uncomfortable and forced for conversation when you are getting your hair done). more

I loved my whole experience at Dario's salon. 5/7/2007

I loved my whole experience at Dario's salon. My hair cut and color turned out great and the straight hair was a HUGE success with my husband ""Bob"" and others. I have loved having it and experiencing for the first time the movement of my hair and actually being able to brush it when it is dry! Cons: Great Consultation, Professional in coloring. more

Awesom Hair cut and Highlights 4/13/2007

I never write reviews but after seeing 3 reviews I had to say something. I must say is the best salon in LA JOLLA. First of all, Dario and his staff are the most warm and welcoming staff at any salon I have ever been to. Secondly, Dario really is the best in the business. My hair always comes out nothing less than perfect! He knows exactly what I want and he has never ever let me down. Wherever I go people compliment me on my color asking me where I get it done. My color always looks amazing even after not hilighting it for 2 months I STILL get compliments on it. My husband now gets his hair cut there too. We are loyal customers and have never been let down and always leave happy. From the wonderful people and the amazing cuts and spectacular color from Dario, we would never leave! Pros: Dario's haircut and color, his staff... more

Dario Salon is the Best if you want to transform and maintain your style! 4/10/2007

Dario is the very best in the trade when it comes to professional coloring! I first came to Dario to fix a bleached out nightmare and I can say that he totally changed my hair and put ?style? back in it. I now get consistent hair color and style compliments and always looks and feels great. The environment in the salon is always warm, welcoming and relaxing; Dario handles clients with the utmost professionalism. Dario Salon is ideal if you want to transform and maintain your style. Not only will you be thrilled with the results, but you will leave feeling well pampered and cared for by everyone in the salon!\r I went to this salon after i made the mistake of going somewhere else with a similar name. Cons: parking more

Best salon in La Jolla! 2/23/2007

I just recently went to Dario Salon to get my hair cut and colored. From the consultation to the final drying of my new hair it was great. Dario is the Haircut specialist of the salon and I am so glad I went to him. He is very knowledgeable. He did a amazing job! Carly is the colorist and did my color as well as Dario she did a fantastic job!. It also helps that she is a great listener since I talked her ear off for a good 2 hours which is how long the whole process took. But it was well worth it. I'm definitely addicted. If you are even considering getting your hair done make an appointment for a consultation with them! You won't regret it. Pros: Everything was absolutly great! more
