Just had a great experience getting my hair done today and thought I should tell the world! She got to know me a bit before the cut and helped me figure out the direction I wanted to go. I have had anxiety about cutting my curls but she put me at ease and really took care of me. Super happy with the result and feel like Ive met a genuinely good person. Im looking forward to getting my hair done again next time.

After about 8 years of not doing anything to my hair I wanted to get rid of some length and overall weight. I was lucky to find Jan in Mission Valley, and planned on trying the DevaCut + an undercut (I had a LOT of hair!). When I arrived and told her this she said I wouldnt need the undercut, and she was absolutely right. I could not be happier with the results - she was such an expert with handling my curls (something Im not used to, to be honest!), and is certainly a master of her craft. She gave me great advice and Ill absolutely visit her for any future hair needs.

Jan SAVED my hair!!! I am so glad I found Hair in the City and to have had someone as experienced as Jan give me a devacut. I desperately needed a cut because my hair was falling, breaking, was brittle, and I was having a really hard time with my natural hair. The cut that Jan gave me made my hair look amazing and I could not be happier. Although my hair is shorter than I would’ve liked, Jan did get rid of all the split ends, shaped my hair in a very nice way and put some amazing products in my hair that left it super soft. My hair now has a fresh start and I know my curls will be poppin! I will definitely come back and recommend 100%.

This was my first time actually bleaching and dying my hair professionally and Im so happy with the results! Everyone there were so nice and welcoming. Mia is so sweet and fun talk to. She did such a great job on my hair and talked me through what was happening. When I need a touch up Ill 100% be back here with Mia. :))

My appointment started off with me waiting for 45 minutes because janet somehow didnt know about the time change. i figure its an innocent mistake. when she asked me about my hair care routine, she kept telling me that i was doing it wrong. from what she said it was obvious that she did everything strictly by the devacurl standards, meaning she didnt realize that theres multiple ways to take care of ones hair. once it got to the actual cut, i was so frustrated with her that i was afraid to speak up about what i wanted for fear of being ridiculed again. now i have curls that are too short and i feel

Janet is the best stylist in San Diego, she started my locks over two years ago and has been good to me ever since. She does the best work I have ever gotten done in so happy being her client. She is so pleasent and her shop is spotless and neat.

Jan is the best! She’s literally been doing my hair my whole entire life, I’ve never let anyone else touch it. She’s cut, trimmed, flat ironed, dyed etc and I have always been more thank pleased with the outcome. Last week I went in for a trim and we decided to do a deva cut instead. I absolutely love it, my curls are bouncier, shinier and my hair just overall looks great. I absolutely recommend her, especially if you have curly hair. Simply put, she knows what she’s doing.

Jan is awesome! She listens to you and is very open. I love her honesty, and its important to have communication when it comes to your hair. She did a great job with my hair and I will return

I called to inquire about a trim on my flat ironed hair and she says SHE has to WASH, FLAT IRON and then, TRIM my hair herself? This is the stupidest thing Ive heard. I told her Ok, thank you, and she hung up on me. Rude! I DO NOT understand these types of attitudes when providing a service. Learn some customer service lady!!!

Janet was AMAZING!!!! She did a wonderful job on my very curly hair. I am never getting my hair cut at any other place again! 10/10 recommended to anyone of any hair type!

Jan is amazing. Ive moved to LA and cant find a replacement. Ive been going to her since I was 14, she always does an amazing job on my hair. Did the STS treatment, really really liked the results. Highly recommend

I have been coming here for over 12 years. I have super curly hair & often straighten it. She knows how to do both!!! This is the place to go for any hair needs no matter what your ethnicity is!!! Love Love Love!!!! Totally recommend!!

After going to numerous hair salons that damaged my hair, I was fortunate enough to find Jan over 10 years ago. She is always up to date with new trends and finds the latest and greatest products for my hair. Not sure what I’ll do when/if she ever retires!

Went in today feeling super not happy with my hair and asked to get it chopped off and help with styling. Jan was very helpful and extremely kind, would recommend and will be coming back.

Love love love the service and my hair always comes out AMAZING! Thanks Janet Emerling😘🔥

Been going to Jan for a long time, shes the best and I only trust her to do my hair.

Looked for someone who could work with wavy, curly hair, she is great, so happy I found her.

I’ve been coming to Janet for 5 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! I’ve had many bad experiences with people damaging my hair but Janet took the time to assess my hair and decided that STS would be the best thing for me. She was right and I wouldn’t consider going back!

Just arrived from Detroit for Jan to do my hair!! I come back to San Diego multiple times per year and will not go anywhere else!!

Always friendly and helpful staff.
