Blonde Ambition

It’s obvious by my head line what kinda girl I’am! growing up I always had that soft, white “toe head” hair color. As I have gotten older its gotten darker and I want that color back! I have been to a few hairdressers, in San Diego, that did not understand what I wanted and just seemed to get me in and out of the salon with a basic bleach highlight…like an”easy”client who didn’t care about the tonality of her hair. Amber explained to me that, even if you’d like to stick to a haircolor similar to your own, you can always change the overall look of the color with by varying the highlights by using different tones and color placement as well as the shape of your haircut. This was one of the few times a hairstylist actually consulted me about my hair! I am so happy with my new blonde bob–she will forever be my San Diego Hairstylist.

Best Men’s Haircuts

So Im a guy, I do not normally spend more then 20 dollars on a cut. After having so many jacked up, uneven cuts I finally decided I should try going to someone that might be a little bit more experienced and trained. Amber did a awesome job on my hair and she was fun to chat with at the same time! Hey, and you can also enjoy a beer while getting it cut, whats better then that?!

I hired Amber to do hair for m wedding, bridesmaids and all. We all had classic vintage hairstyles that were all unique and elegant…Not only did she do an extraordinary job she was funny, charming and calmed me down on one of the most important events of my life. She truly made my “getting ready” time great!

Vanity Fair Hair

I am a photographer who works in LA and San Diego. I enjoy working with Amber because she is a creative and innovative Hairstylist and have always been impressed with her work. I organized a photoshoot in LA where she gave the models beautiful old hollywood glamour styles. The models looked like they should have been on the cover of Vanity Fair Magazine. We’ve had so so many compliments on the images! I would recommend her to photographers that want a stylist who understands current trends, enjoys her work, and works professionally and efficiently.

Blonde Bombshell

amber — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:47:57 +0000

On my last visit, I asked Amber to take me as light as she could. She made me a bombshell blonde! I look classy and got exactly what I asked for–cute long layers and very light blonde highlights that are soft and very natural, similar to Jessica Simpson or Reese Witherspoon. A friend referred me so the total cost for my haircut and color was only $135, it was great value for a total hair makeover! I would highly recommend her for Blondes!

HGTV Stylist

The first time I visited Amber, I sat in the waiting room for almost 30 minutes. I was getting impatient and decided to leave–The receptionist stopped me and pointed out a camera crew from HGTV filming Amber styling the Host’s hair for a show called, “You Should Live Here.” That was pretty impressive! My haircut was definately worth the wait–and She is a friend of mine so I let her off the hook:)

Great with Men’s Haircuts

amber — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:07:14 +0000

Amber has been cutting my hair for a few years. I am getting a litle older and my hair is thinning. I don’t know how I manage to leaving the salon looking like I have more hair. She definately has talent if she can makes a head of thinning hair like mine look good! Stile Salon is in a great Downtown San Diego location.

Men’s Hair

Amber does a great job with men’s hair. I usually get my haircut every month. My hair is wavy and grows fast so I like that she uses scissors instead of clippers. I’ve followed her to a couple different downtown Salons and they’ve all been really nice places and the beer and wine is always a plus.

Brown to Blonde in a Downtown San Diego Salon

amber — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 07:18:16 +0000

Amber took me from brown to light blonde. She suggested that we do a Kerastase shine treatment and masque. The results were instant my hair was healthier than before she colored it. Stile Salon and Boutique is a upscale downtown San Diego Salon on Kettner and Laurel. I’ve always driven past it prior to seeing Amber. Everyone looks very fashionable and they seem to have a lot of fun working together. I had a great experience getting my hair done and shopping at the same time!
