I knew I wanted to have my hair done but I stay making appointments last minute, so luckily I was able to get a next day appointment with Amy. I came in today, she was super sweet immediately and we talked about what I wanted. I love when stylists give their input and tell me what would make my idea better which is exactly what she did. Not only did my hair turn out amazing, we talked the whole time and it felt like I was with a friend.I highly recommend Amy and Salon 1532.

I came in for the first time and had a hair cut by Kelly Villa, who did a really great job! I was impressed with her attention to detail to ensure I got the cut I wanted. She started cutting with wet hair, blow dried straight and did a final cut to the hair once dried so it was even all around. She really took her time, and even asked me at the end if everything looked good to me. She wanted to make sure to have addressed any of my concerns. Definitely going to come back to Kelly!

I'm giving a 3 star review only because I did not actually have her my hair cut (yet), so I don't feel like I should give less stars without undergoing services there. HOWEVER, the only reason I didn't book a haircut there was because I was so disappointed in their customer service that I didn't want to. I went to this salon back when it was Salon Tonic, and it was great back then. When I first went there, I scoured yelp reviews to find my current stylist Kelly (Brady) Tsue and followed her when she opened her own salon. Kelly and I have decided to part ways, and unfortunately, things seem to have changed under Salon Tonic's new ownership as Salon 1532. First, as a business owner, I make every effort on my own website to think about what a potential customer might want to see on my website and include it. For me, when I look for a new hair stylist, I want to do my homework in hopes of finding someone great that I can hopefully go to for years. Unfortunately, Salon 1532 has no list of the hair stylists on their website, so a potential customer has no way to look up the stylists, read their reviews, and/or look at their bios. Now, I could call, but at the same time, I could just as easily go to another salon that offers the same info I'm looking for on their website. What's worse is that I really wanted a salon in Little Italy, so I went out of my way to e-mail the salon asking for a list of their hair stylists, so I could look up their Yelp reviews and select someone. What I got in response was a snarky e-mail that they do not have a set list of hair styles (e.g., bob) that they could send me, but I was welcome to look at their hair styles on Instagram--they didn't provide their Instagram handle either. I responded advising that my email very clearly asked in both the body and subject of the email about hair styLISTS, not hair styLES. I never received a response answering my question. I was discussing my frustration with how unprofessional the salon appeared to be with a friend who gets her haircut there, and she said there is a definite "attitude problem" there, which is the sense I got as well. Later, I found Autumn Houston Salon, which is about a block or two away from Salon 1532, had its stylists and prices listed on the website, and was very easy to book online. My haircut is not until February, but so far, that salon seems much more professional and customer service oriented, so I would definitely recommend it over Salon 1532, which does not really seem to care too much about getting/catering to new customers :(

I've been here a number of times and all because of PJ (also known as Paul)! The salon is always clean, the staff is sweet and it's a relaxing atmosphere. They always offer water/sparkling water, champagne, or even mimosas to everyone waiting to get serviced, or those being serviced. PJ's been doing my hair for years and he's the only hair stylist I trust. I recently came in for a cut and color and I am OBSESSED with the color! I definitely wanted to go lighter and chop off 4 inches, and he totally achieved the look. Process took at least 4 hours because of how long my hair is.Also brought my sister in for a much needed trim, and he knew exactly what to do to thin her hair out, because it was honestly just so thick to where she had neck pains and headaches. It turned out so good!

Was in town for the holidays and at spur of the moment wanted dramatic highlights. The salon booked me the same day, and my stylist was Kelly Villa, I'm extremely happy with my highlights- her attention to details with an artistic vision made me feel taken care of. I felt she really listened to what I was looking for and offered valuable maintenance recommendations. Truly professional with a sunny personality!

I had my hair done here today. I selected this salon because if their Yelp reviews. My stylist was Brittany.The salon is stylish and welcoming. The inside is comfortable with splashes of color in all the right places. I was greeted promptly and with a smile. Brittany shampooed my hair and took the time to perform a wonderful scalp massage (it felt so good, I'd come back just for that!). She then gave me a blow dry that is superior. I have an event tonight and her style perfected my outfit! She is friendly and talented. I am visiting the area, or she would have a new regular!!Thank you!

I've had my hair done my Kurt for the last year plus. In April, I left with a hair color and cut that I did not ask for. I was told once my hair was done that the salon doesn't have the color I asked for (which I had used three times before). He also thinned out my hair after I asked that he not thin it, telling me he knows hair and I don't. I wait almost three months, to let me hair grow out. I came in Saturday for blonde balayage. After applying bleach to almost my entire head, he left the salon to smoke, get water and I don't know what. After I'd been sitting with bleach on my head for almost an hour, I sent him a text asking him to check my hair. He washed and toned it, and noticed it was basically orange, because the salon didn't carry the toner I wanted. He applied a second toner, blow dried my hair and I left. When I got in the sun and looked at my hair, it was a combination of green (the front and ends) and orange (the back and underneath). I let him know about my hair and he said I could come back to fix it, but they still don't have the color I want. He offered a refund and after a few days I asked about the refund, he responded "lol, when I get time". I have worked at salons and had my hair done professionally for 13 years. Never have I seen a stylist leave a client in a chair and leave the salon for almost an hour (and not have another stylist check my hair), not give the client the hair results they ask for, and make jokes about client having green/orange hair. When I asked why he was so unprofessional he said "You micro-manage me". I feel like the client should be able to ask for what they want on their own head and get it (or at least honesty) from a stylist. I tried to give him another chance and return again, but it's clear that the quality of work is not going to improve

I had what I call A++ customer service. I am an executive who is always on the run. I find that I barely have time for me. I booked an appointment with Marisa for a brow wax but had to reschedule a few times in the same day. She was so accommodating and even pushed a client back by 10 minutes to fit me in. Her attitude was "we are going to make this work for you today"And she did. End result, my brows look marvelous and I feel wonderful. Thank you Marisa for modeling exceptional customer service with a smile. Regina

1st time here and it was enjoyable. I was greeted right away and I was offered a beverage as soon as I checked in. Very friendly staff and the atmosphere was professional yet chill at the same time. The salon appears to be doggie friendly as well. They also offer lash extension applications. They appeared to be real busy. Only downfall is parking could be a slight challenge as they do not have their own parking lot. Just metered street parking. Located in Little Italy of Downtown SD. There are an abundance of restaurants and shops located in all directions. One great location to check out after leaving the salon is Filippi's Pizza Grotto which is a block or so up the street. So if your looking for an awesome salon that will give you awesome results...hair, make-up, lash extensions etc. see my stylist Paul!

I booked a makeup/hair bridal trial , I was told it was 50 for makeup and 50 for hair, after I arrived and my hair was examined, they told me the price should have 155 because I have a big thick curly hair and it will require more effort and time (I do not mind that, my problem was that I should have been informed over the phone call that it starts from and not is ...My hair took sometime (more than expected ) and it was nice .As for the makeup it was really bad , First I was informed that the products used in the trial will not be the same as the wedding (in wedding different products will be used) and that is why the trial is cheaper than wedding package itself (the trial should be replica from the wedding itself that is why it's called trial ) , then I was informed the makeup stylist was not informed that the booking was for hair and makeup as well therefore they were not well equipped for the makeup session.Because I was really displeased with how I looked and the makeup they took off 55 $ and I paid the original 100 $.

ELIZA POOLER is 5 star!! I live in Denver Co., and before Eliza moved she was my hair stylist. I was super bummed when she left me for California, but very excited for her! Not only is she a master at coloring hair (perfect everyone time) but her cutting skills are so amazing. If you're looking for some serious talent, she is your girl.

I've only been once, but between my cut, my first balayage (!), and the included wine I'll definitely be back!I'm not the type of "hang out at the salon all day long" and pay an insane amount of money for my cut kind of person. Lindsay worked with me on this and gave me a balayage (haven't colored my hair in YEARS!) that she knew would be subtle enough for me but still make a drastic difference - bonus that you don't have to do this every month to keep it up! She said that I may become obsessed with it, and I think she's right! I had to get quite a bit cut off due to damage, but I loved my cut for the length that I have.

5-stars for fabulous customer service!I live right down the street so this salon is very convenient and just a few steps away. They are really good at reminding you when your appointment is. I received 2 phone calls, one a few days before and one the day before to remind me that my appointment was on Sunday. What I didn't like was that when the girl left the message, she tried to up-sale me by asking me if I wanted an upgrade. This is a great business tactic but I didn't feel like it was necessary especially when I didn't answer my phone. I was confused as to whether I was supposed to call back if I wanted an upgrade or if I was to call back to confirm my appointment.I had made reservations for a blow out and sadly, I wasn't very impressed with my blowout. The curls weren't very curly and they fell out right before my engagement photo session. I have very stubborn Asian hair but somehow, other blow out places manage to get my curls to hold for at least a day. It's really not the stylist's fault- I'm pretty much blaming my genes for having thick and long and abundant amounts of hair on my head. I also felt like the girl who did my hair rushed on me because there was another client waiting. The girl was nice and sweet though! However, upon hearing about my disappointment management did call me to try to make it up to me by offering me another blow out! What amazing customer service! I'm not going to get another blow out because I know that it's probably my hair that was being stubborn and nothing I do can keep a curl. The blow out price is comparable to places that only offer blow outs.The customer service was nice and the front desk girl offered me some water when I walked in. 5-stars for great customer service from management! I would recommend them just for their superb customer service and guarantee that you will be satisfied, if not, the owner will make sure you get the star treatment!

I came in for the first time and had a hair cut by Kelly Villa, who did a really great job! I was impressed with her attention to detail to ensure I got the cut I wanted. She started cutting with wet hair, blow dried straight and did a final cut to the hair once dried so it was even all around. She really took her time, and even asked me at the end if everything looked good to me. She wanted to make sure to have addressed any of my concerns. Definitely going to come back to Kelly!

I'm giving a 3 star review only because I did not actually have her my hair cut (yet), so I don't feel like I should give less stars without undergoing services there. HOWEVER, the only reason I didn't book a haircut there was because I was so disappointed in their customer service that I didn't want to. I went to this salon back when it was Salon Tonic, and it was great back then. When I first went there, I scoured yelp reviews to find my current stylist Kelly (Brady) Tsue and followed her when she opened her own salon. Kelly and I have decided to part ways, and unfortunately, things seem to have changed under Salon Tonic's new ownership as Salon 1532.

For me, when I look for a new hair stylist, I want to do my homework in hopes of finding someone great that I can hopefully go to for years. Unfortunately, Salon 1532 has no list of the hair stylists on their website, so a potential customer has no way to look up the stylists, read their reviews, and/or look at their bios. Now, I could call, but at the same time, I could just as easily go to another salon that offers the same info I'm looking for on their website. What's worse is that I really wanted a salon in Little Italy, so I went out of my way to e-mail the salon asking for a list of their hair stylists, so I could look up their Yelp reviews and select someone.

Later, I found Autumn Houston Salon, which is about a block or two away from Salon 1532, had its stylists and prices listed on the website, and was very easy to book online. My haircut is not until February, but so far, that salon seems much more professional and customer service oriented, so I would definitely recommend it over Salon 1532, which does not really seem to care too much about getting/catering to new customers :(

I've been here a number of times and all because of PJ (also known as Paul)! The salon is always clean, the staff is sweet and it's a relaxing atmosphere. They always offer water/sparkling water, champagne, or even mimosas to everyone waiting to get serviced, or those being serviced. PJ's been doing my hair for years and he's the only hair stylist I trust. I recently came in for a cut and color and I am OBSESSED with the color! I definitely wanted to go lighter and chop off 4 inches, and he totally achieved the look. Process took at least 4 hours because of how long my hair is.Also brought my sister in for a much needed trim, and he knew exactly what to do to thin her hair out, because it was honestly just so thick to where she had neck pains and headaches. It turned out so good!

Was in town for the holidays and at spur of the moment wanted dramatic highlights. The salon booked me the same day, and my stylist was Kelly Villa, I'm extremely happy with my highlights- her attention to details with an artistic vision made me feel taken care of. I felt she really listened to what I was looking for and offered valuable maintenance recommendations. Truly professional with a sunny personality!

I had my hair done here today. I selected this salon because if their Yelp reviews. My stylist was Brittany.The salon is stylish and welcoming. The inside is comfortable with splashes of color in all the right places. I was greeted promptly and with a smile. Brittany shampooed my hair and took the time to perform a wonderful scalp massage (it felt so good, I'd come back just for that!). She then gave me a blow dry that is superior. I have an event tonight and her style perfected my outfit! She is friendly and talented. I am visiting the area, or she would have a new regular!!Thank you!

I've had my hair done my Kurt for the last year plus. In April, I left with a hair color and cut that I did not ask for. I was told once my hair was done that the salon doesn't have the color I asked for (which I had used three times before). He also thinned out my hair after I asked that he not thin it, telling me he knows hair and I don't. I wait almost three months, to let me hair grow out. I came in Saturday for blonde balayage. After applying bleach to almost my entire head, he left the salon to smoke, get water and I don't know what. After I'd been sitting with bleach on my head for almost an hour, I sent him a text asking him to check my hair. He washed and toned it, and noticed it was basically orange, because the salon didn't carry the toner I wanted. He applied a second toner, blow dried my hair and I left. When I got in the sun and looked at my hair, it was a combination of green (the front and ends) and orange (the back and underneath). I let him know about my hair and he said I could come back to fix it, but they still don't have the color I want. He offered a refund and after a few days I asked about the refund, he responded "lol, when I get time". I have worked at salons and had my hair done professionally for 13 years. Never have I seen a stylist leave a client in a chair and leave the salon for almost an hour (and not have another stylist check my hair), not give the client the hair results they ask for, and make jokes about client having green/orange hair. When I asked why he was so unprofessional he said "You micro-manage me". I feel like the client should be able to ask for what they want on their own head and get it (or at least honesty) from a stylist. I tried to give him another chance and return again, but it's clear that the quality of work is not going to improve

I had what I call A++ customer service. I am an executive who is always on the run. I find that I barely have time for me. I booked an appointment with Marisa for a brow wax but had to reschedule a few times in the same day. She was so accommodating and even pushed a client back by 10 minutes to fit me in. Her attitude was "we are going to make this work for you today"And she did. End result, my brows look marvelous and I feel wonderful. Thank you Marisa for modeling exceptional customer service with a smile. Regina

My experience at salon 1532 was fantastic! Everyone was super friendly and my stylist, Kurt, did an unbelievable job with my hair.

I had such a great experience at Salon 1532, I wanted to share it. I got a recommendation after I got a terrible cut at another salon. Kurt reshaped my hair and colored it and now it looks fantastic! Honestly, this is the only salon I've been to where I really loved the result. The prices were reasonable, the staff was really nice, and they have a great atmosphere. Thanks Salon 1532 for saving me.

1st time here and it was enjoyable. I was greeted right away and I was offered a beverage as soon as I checked in. Very friendly staff and the atmosphere was professional yet chill at the same time. The salon appears to be doggie friendly as well. They also offer lash extension applications. They appeared to be real busy. Only downfall is parking could be a slight challenge as they do not have their own parking lot. Just metered street parking. Located in Little Italy of Downtown SD. There are an abundance of restaurants and shops located in all directions. One great location to check out after leaving the salon is Filippi's Pizza Grotto which is a block or so up the street. So if your looking for an awesome salon that will give you awesome results...hair, make-up, lash extensions etc. see my stylist Paul!

I booked a makeup/hair bridal trial , I was told it was 50 for makeup and 50 for hair, after I arrived and my hair was examined, they told me the price should have 155 because I have a big thick curly hair and it will require more effort and time (I do not mind that, my problem was that I should have been informed over the phone call that it starts from and not is ...My hair took sometime (more than expected ) and it was nice .As for the makeup it was really bad , First I was informed that the products used in the trial will not be the same as the wedding (in wedding different products will be used) and that is why the trial is cheaper than wedding package itself (the trial should be replica from the wedding itself that is why it's called trial ) , then I was informed the makeup stylist was not informed that the booking was for hair and makeup as well therefore they were not well equipped for the makeup session.Because I was really displeased with how I looked and the makeup they took off 55 $ and I paid the original 100 $.

ELIZA POOLER is 5 star!! I live in Denver Co., and before Eliza moved she was my hair stylist. I was super bummed when she left me for California, but very excited for her! Not only is she a master at coloring hair (perfect everyone time) but her cutting skills are so amazing. If you're looking for some serious talent, she is your girl. She will keep you up to date with your style, and help you make decisions for your new look. She is THE BEST!

I've only been once, but between my cut, my first balayage (!), and the included wine I'll definitely be back!I'm not the type of "hang out at the salon all day long" and pay an insane amount of money for my cut kind of person. Lindsay worked with me on this and gave me a balayage (haven't colored my hair in YEARS!) that she knew would be subtle enough for me but still make a drastic difference - bonus that you don't have to do this every month to keep it up! She said that I may become obsessed with it, and I think she's right! I had to get quite a bit cut off due to damage, but I loved my cut for the length that I have.

5-stars for fabulous customer service!I live right down the street so this salon is very convenient and just a few steps away. They are really good at reminding you when your appointment is. I received 2 phone calls, one a few days before and one the day before to remind me that my appointment was on Sunday. What I didn't like was that when the girl left the message, she tried to up-sale me by asking me if I wanted an upgrade. This is a great business tactic but I didn't feel like it was necessary especially when I didn't answer my phone. I was confused as to whether I was supposed to call back if I wanted an upgrade or if I was to call back to confirm my appointment.I had made reservations for a blow out and sadly, I wasn't very impressed with my blowout. The curls weren't very curly and they fell out right before my engagement photo session. I have very stubborn Asian hair but somehow, other blow out places manage to get my curls to hold for at least a day. It's really not the stylist's fault- I'm pretty much blaming my genes for having thick and long and abundant amounts of hair on my head. I also felt like the girl who did my hair rushed on me because there was another client waiting. The girl was nice and sweet though! However, upon hearing about my disappointment management did call me to try to make it up to me by offering me another blow out! What amazing customer service! I'm not going to get another blow out because I know that it's probably my hair that was being stubborn and nothing I do can keep a curl. The blow out price is comparable to places that only offer blow outs.The customer service was nice and the front desk girl offered me some water when I walked in. 5-stars for great customer service from management! I would recommend them just for their superb customer service and guarantee that you will be satisfied, if not, the owner will make sure you get the star treatment!
