“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!!”

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.”

“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!”
