      I am not one to write reviews, but Gena deserves a shout out!! Gena is absolutely amazing!! I agree with other clients in saying she is perfect with blondes, low maintenance, natural, lived in color. I never knew I could love my hair this much.
      Gena is a perfectionist. As a perfectionist myself I appreciate how critical and thoughtful she is when working with clients. She doesn't just want you look good; she wants you to look PERFECT. She won't send you out onto the street without making sure you look your best. You will not get a cheap run of the mill hair care and extensions. Gena is someone who takes the time to listen to you, works with your hair and lifestyle and will create the perfect hair for you! You may need to book a few months in advance as she is VERY popular. Trust me...it's for all the right reasons! You won't be disappointed.

      The best hair extensions in town!! My natural hair has been saved since going to her and her extension method is damage free. I was using clip ins for so long and now realize how painful they are. 10 stars

      I've been going to Gena for Invisible Beaded Extensions for over two years now and I'm so incredibly happy with the results. She has perfected her technique and I trust her greatly with my hair. She takes the time to figure out the right hair for you and it's always a great match with texture and color. She's honest, has great work ethic, and is just easy to be around. I highly recommend her if you're looking for quality extensions. Also, if you're wondering about IBE, they feel great in. By far the best type of extension install I've ever had.

      One of the only hair stylists I trust with my hair!!She's amazing with blondes, low-maintenance, natural, lived-in color. I love how my highlights turn out every time. She knows the exact look I'm going for. Her expertise is so helpful when it comes to products and styling!

      What was life even before extensions!?
      Gena installed my IBE Invisible Bead Extension hair extensions a week and a half ago and I'm in love . The color match and blend is perfect and not only have I gotten multiple compliments, but all of my friends are getting them done now too after seeing what an amazing job she did. I am IN LOVE with my new hair!!

      Look at that blend!! You can't even tell I have extensions

      This girl is AMAZING!!! I've been going to Gena for over 15 yrs after I had a horrible highlighting experience. I googled "best blonde highlights" in San Diego and am SO lucky to have found her! She is the BEST and I can't thank her enough. I'm always getting compliments on my hair! Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!

      I've been going to Gena for 5+ years and will not go to anyone else. I was on a hunt for a good hairstylist for years and finally found Gena. My color is perfect every time. She is a perfectionist and very professional. Her salon is really nice and very clean. I would highly recommend her.

      I truly trust Gena with my hair! I have been a client for almost 2 years and am appreciative of Gena's attention to detail, her work ethic and professionalism, honesty and the effort she puts into giving her clients a great overall salon experience - her quaint salon space is just so fresh, clean and adorable too! Finally, I love that there is always ample parking at the salon! Since I went from long to medium length hair, I received many positive compliments, so thank you Gena because you followed the photo I brought in to a T!

      I've been going to Gena for over 10 years now! I can't imagine anyone else coloring my hair like she does. She's amazing. I get so many compliments on my color- and it's because her work stands out. Her color choices and her maticulous ability to balayage keeps me coming back. Her work is always evolving and on trend. She's the best!!!
