Elias Salon & Spa

So I found Elias a few months back right here on Citysearch and was thrilled with my first cut/color (each service performed by different stylists, who were both very friendly and fun and skilled). However, when I went back for my second appt, which I'd made a good week in advance, I was told by the receptionist "oh, ***(stylist) never showed up for work today") I was pretty angry they hadn't called me, since 4 hours had passed since she was supposed to be in for work!! Not to mention I'd scheduled my whole day around the appointment. I was able to get a cut by another stylist, which was ok, but they've lost my business permanently due to poor customer service. Pros: nice, non-snobby staff; great cuts; great prices Cons: poor service, chaotic atmosphere more

I've tried numerous salons in the past year, all of varying prices and this is definitely my favorite. Fair prices with excellent results! I'm very picky with my hair color and was pleasantly surprised to that I left with the EXACT hair color I had invisioned. The staff was friendly and I got a lot of time to talk about my needs and concerns before the service actually started. Highly recommended. more

I was searching for a new salon in my new workplace neighborhood and found through citysearch, Elias Salon and spa. The first time I went in I had a trim to check out the place. The front desk staff was very kind, the stylist that I had cut my hair, Louie ( other staff members were calling him Luigi because he worked and lived in Italy ) did a great job , and gained my trust. He was discussing color with another stylist there, Sandi and I was impressed by thier color knowledge. Thier willingness to share from eachothers different pasts was interesting to me. Pros: knowledgeable staff more

I am a professional women working with a new company here in S.D. for about a year now. With my busy schedule I don't have alot of time to spend on my hair, and I feel it is essential to look as good as I can for myself and the company that I work for. Being on the go all the time can be very hectic and frustrating at times, especially trying to find a Salon and a Hairstylist that would understand my needs and could give me a Hairstyle that would be both pleasing and suitable for my busy lifestyle. So one day I visited "Elias Salon and Spa" for the 1st time to get a quick manicure and pedicure before leaving town. The service along with the atmoshere in the Salon was both soothing and relaxing. As I looked around the Salon I noticed a hairstylist doing wonders with this woman's hair in his chair. I didn't see the client when she came in, but when he was finished with her, I was completly amazed on how good she looked. I asked the stylist named "Tomas" if he would have something in mind for me. After a brief consultation, he carefully examined my hair and told me that while I was away he would create and design something especially for me. I came back the next week and sure enough, he kept his promise. I am so very pleased. I look and feel so astonished every time I do my hair. I would definitely recommend "Tomas" to anyone who needs a new change, and a hairstyle to make you feel completely amazed everyday. Therefore I plan on indulging myself every chance I can to all the wonderful services available by all of the lovely and talented people of "Elias Salon and Spa" who helped in making my visit so remarkable and memberable. Pros: Tomas, Next to Starbucks, Location Cons: Best kept secret more

I had to write a review about the skincare services at this salon because I have been treated so well and received excellent help here. I had recently been going through a bout of some mild acne and my skin was just not looking so well during the winter months. The Aesthetician has really helped me out and done so in a relaxing, ejoyable enviornment. I highly recommend her for skincare services as she seems very knowledgeable. The salons prices are very reasonable and the aesthetician seems to be available on my schedule. more

I have been to this Salon three times for waxing services and am always very happy with the service. I was seeing another waxer that moved away and didn't think that I would find someone else that I would be comfortable with; however, I am very happy with the service. Evening appointments are available and that is a BIG plus. Two thumbs up! more

Best brazilian waxing in town! The facialist is excellent! Very gentle and caring. Competitive prices in a higher end area of San Diego. Will be trying their facials and massages as well. more

I was recently searching for a new place to get regular facials, which I try to get once a month, and came across Elias Salon and Spa. The Esthetician at this salon is so caring and truly knows skincare. I have gone to her a couple of times now and am thoroughly pleased with the experience every single time. She does a good job on my skin, yet makes it an enjoyable experience. The prices are reasonable for a very good service! more

I recently had color done at a slon, and my color was terrible it had a greenish tone to it, I did not want to go back to the salon because of the bad experience I had. So I looked up salons and found Elias Salon and Spa. I went for a consultation and then set an appointment for color correction. The stylist I went to was great. She consulted with the owner on how to do the correction even though she knew what she was doing, she told it is always best to get another opinion. The results I go were excellent, they were exactly what I originally wanted from that "other" salon. I have since recommended the salon to others, and I will be going there for regular color touch ups. I had a very good experience. more

I love Elias Salon and Spa. I get color every 6 to 8 weeks and cut, and I like the treatment. It is a friendly casual salon with excellent service. It is not one of those stuffy salons, yet I get good treamtment, and I feel like it is an outing for me. I usually go to the same stylist, however, I have had several people do my hair and have never had a bad experience. Try it and I know you will like it. more

They are good at them all! The thing I like best about the salon is that they really care about your hair looking the best. When I asked my regular stylist to do an up-do for a wedding that was coming upshe actually reccomended someone else at the salon doing it who was better at them, I was really happy with it. I get my hair colored there regularly and cut every 5 weeks, and the prices are actually affordable! Great place. And if you want your hair styled for anything, ask for Tyrone! Pros: atmosphere, honesty, experience! Cons: none more
