Best men's haircut in La Jolla! I started going to Grant after a recommendation from a friend, and now both me and my girlfriend go to grant exclusively. His prices are fair and he is one of the most talented hairdressers I've ever seen. Completely hidden gem in La Jolla.

That was a nice nice thing you did for me today, Grant! Thankyou, Anne. Go and get a good cut from Grant or Susan. It's such a pretty salon, and they do good work.

I love salon Geisha! I have been to many different salons in San Diego and Grant's haircuts are the best. He has a good eye and my hair feels like it grows faster when he cuts it. I love coming in and seeing him and Sue. They always provide great service and the tea and cookies are delicious. If you want a pleasant experience and amazing haircut definitely give it a try.

This was my first time visiting this salon, and I loved it! Grant gave me the best haircut I've had since I can last remember. I wasn't sure about what I wanted but he has an amazing eye. I enjoy my hair so much more now! Highly recommend.

I love Grant and Sue! Grant is a color expert and Sue's haircuts are the best I have ever had. Their salon is adorable with a wood burning fireplace and music playing. I highly recommend both of them. People ask me all the time, "who does your hair?"

I've been going to see Susan and Grant for years. My aunt and Mom go as well and we wouldn't go anywhere else. Grant's probably one of the premier colorists in San Diego and Susan gives an amazing haircut. Just had work head shots done and received so many compliments on the color and cut. I usually get compliments once a week about my hair and owe it to Salon Geisha and these two professionals. Thanks Grant and Susan!

I have been coming to Salon Geisha for the past 15 yrs. Susan is a color specialist, I always receive compliments on how natural my color looks and I am always satisfied with the up to date haircuts she gives me. The experience is "first class" wearing a lovely smock and being served tea & crumpets, starts my day off right! Thanks Grant & Susan you're Ichiban!

Thank you Grant Smith, from Salon Geisha, for giving me the best haircut ever. My friends tell me that my new color and cut make me look 10 years younger. There's no better compliment than that. You are an artist, Grant, and I love your work. Salon Geisha is a small, intimate salon, tucked away on La Jolla Blvd, just south of Pearl. Definitely worth it.

Sue is awesome! She has been cutting my hair for years and I always leave the salon extremely happy. I have very thick Asian hair that is difficult to cut well and she always does it so beautifully. I don't know how she does it- not only does my hair look great leaving the salon, it also continues to look great as it grows out. I have also gone to her after receiving a bad haircut elsewhere and she took all of the time necessary to fix it.

She is such a sweetheart and she is the ONLY person in San Diego I will let near my hair with a pair of scissors! The atmosphere of the salon is also very pleasant, comfortable and unpretentious. Grant and Sue offer great customer service; I always look forward to seeing them :

I have been going to Salon Geisha for years and have never been unsatisfied with any cut or color I have received. I Grant and Sue completely with my hair and know that I will walk out every time a happy customer. The salon is very comfortable and relaxing as well as the service they provide. I can always book appointments when needed and they are very flexible in changing them if necessary. I can't imagine going anywhere else to have my hair done. Thank you Grant and Sue. You guys are the best!

I started going to Grant at Salon Geisha because I loved the haircut of a friend who also went to him. That was more than 10 years ago and I get compliments on my hair all the time. Not only is Grant a wonderful hair stylist he is also an amazing colorist. He and Susan use some of the best products on the market. My hair always looks shiny and healthy.

The salon is lovely and charming with a lit fireplace in the winter and fresh air in the summer. I also always look forward to the hot tea and cookies they serve as well as to the pleasant conversation on anything from the latest movies to books and politics. All in all my monthly visits to my hair stylist are what they should be: a relaxing and pleasant experience!

I have been going to Grant & Susan for about a year now and they have completely improved the condition of my hair. My hair was over bleached and very dead. Over the past few months, after using the products they recommend, and taking good care of my hair it is now long and natural looking. It has been three months since I have had my hair highlighted and they are amazing at blending my roots. Susan never trims my hair more than what I want and has a variety of styles. Love you guys!

A lovely little salon. Artdeco and asian inspired. Haircut was mediocre. Did not feel current and the stylist went way shorter than I had asked for. Better for more conservative cuts.

Grant and Susan have been styling my and my wife's hair for a couple years now. My wife was first to go there because she was tired of the long wait for her previous stylist and never was happy with her hair style. Grant gave her a new style and I love it! She's received many complements from friends and co-workers and it makes her look even younger.

I too was never satisfied with my hair style, so Grant give me a new style that I really like. They are very punctual with their appointments. Nice atmosphere and nice people. We highly recommend Salon Geisha.
