The Proper Salon & Barber

If you’re looking for a stylist who truly knows her craft, I can’t recommend mine enough. Katie spent much of her career working in the trend-forward salons of San Diego, and it shows in her skill and eye for what’s current. Whether you want effortless beachy balayage, fire-engine red, or anything in between, she absolutely nails it every time. Her cuts are always modern, flattering, and up-to-date with the latest trends. On top of that, she’s incredibly laid back and easy to be around, which makes the whole experience relaxed and fun instead of rushed or stressful. In a time when salon prices can be all over the place, her services are also very affordable for the level of talent and professionalism she brings.

My 4 year old grandson had an amazing haircut and experience with Jordan. Jordan was patient and great with Dean who had a “not so great “ experience with his last haircut at a different location. They even had the Mario movie on which was a great distraction. Dean laughed, made funny faces and generally enjoyed getting his haircut by Jordan. Thanks Jordan for making Dean smile and making him not afraid to get his haircut again. We will be back!!

I sought color services at this establishment with clear expectations that left me feeling more like an experiment than a valued client.

I made that mistake. I even gave grace after the stylist missed a three week window period to perform such. Instead, the stylist waited until the night before and did

I absolutely love Brianna Smitg (aka Brie). I have straight hair and my kids have curly hair. They get it from dad. My daughter had the hardest time taking care of her hair and I did my best. We met Brie when she worked at a different salon and followed her to the Proper. She not only takes the time to teach my daughter but me as well. My kids wont let anyone else touch their hair for about four years now!

The Proper Salon and Barber has a welcoming vintage vibe. All of the stylists are very friendly, listen to your wants and will have you walking out of there with confidence. Stay Gold tattooing is located inside the barber shop. Flip is an experienced artist who takes your ideas and turns them into a master piece. Not only is his work great but he’s also a wonderful conversationist. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and I love my new ink.
