“Obsessed is an understatement. I found this salon serendipitously and I’m so glad I came here to get a much needed cut. I told Maysaa what I wanted and she absolutely delivered! She also gave me the best cut and blowout of my dreams ✨ I’d recommend her and this salon to anyone looking for a refresh and wanting to feel their best.”
“I’m new to San Diego and was a little skeptical about who to trust with my blonde hair. I stumbled across Hot Seat Salon after seeing their beautiful work and reading through the reviews, and I thought — why not give them a try? From the moment I went in for my consultation, Miriam was so kind and incredibly easy to schedule with. Three days later, I came back for my appointment and OMG… I absolutely LOVE the outcome! Miriam and Rita both worked on my hair, and I truly couldn’t thank them enough. If you’re looking for talented women who genuinely know what they’re doing, look no further — make the appointment! Such a wonderful experience with amazing women who made me feel like part of the team. Thank you both so much!!”
“I had such an amazing experience getting my highlights and trim done by Mariam! She did an incredible job and honestly exceeded my expectations. She really listened to what I wanted, paid attention to the details, and created a look that was even better than what I had pictured. My hair feels so fresh, healthy, and beautiful. I’m so happy with the results and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone talented and who truly cares about their work!”

“We had such a Wonderful experience at Hot Seat Salon! Miriam did an amazing job on my daughter’s hair - she was incredibly meticulous and really took the time to make sure that my daughter got exactly what she wanted. We came in for a balayage and highlights, and my daughter brought in an inspiration photo. Miriam absolutely nailed it! She was attentive, detail oriented and it made the whole experience, comfortable and enjoyable! You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients. I highly recommend Hot Seat Salon and Miriam! I’ll definitely be booking an appointment for myself next.”
“I was first attracted to this salon because it is a woman owned business with great reviews and responsive ownership. I called for an appointment and was scheduled same day as soon as I was off work. Maysaa was so friendly with a chill and welcoming vibe. She listened to my request and provided her professional and educated opinion. She works fast and provides excellent results. I cant believe how bouncy, full, and healthy my hair looks! So grateful, highly recommend.”

She has an incredible eye for detail and knows exactly how to enhance your natural beauty while still giving you that flawless, polished finish. Every look she creates feels effortless yet elevated.

I highly recommend her for any event or special occasion. ✨💄💇🏻♀️❤️❤️”
“maysaa is so sweet! she was quick to communicate with me through text and give a quote. i went in to bleach my black hair to blonde, and maysaa booked me in the same week! unfortunately, we found that i had black box dye leftover in my hair (my mistake, i thought i grew it out), but maysaa immediately adjusted to the situation and gave me a beautiful alternative. she also gave me a haircut for free, noticing that my at-home lazy trims needed a professional touch. all to show that loves doing hair :) the salon was huge, affordable, and well staffed. i’m definitely coming back to maysaa for future hair appointments. thank you maysaa!”
“Glamour By Maysaa ! She is an absolute genius when it comes to hair color. I left the salons feeling beautiful and very happy. She’s definitely a professional I highly recommend you getting your hair colored , styled, cut by Mayssa”
