Gila Rut Aveda Salon 1010 University Avenue, San Diego, CA 92103

"I’m so grateful Lisa is back. She is a treasure and every time she does my hair I feel more myself afterwards. I’m calmed and de-stressed by the massage, shampooing/conditioning, hair drying, and lovely conversation. Of course, I’m always happy with what I see in the mirror when she’s done."

"I’ve been going to this salon for over a year now, and every experience has been phenomenal. The quality of the cut and color is always stellar. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, relaxed, and do everything they can so you enjoy your experience. It’s a very welcoming and relaxing environment with top-notch service. For color, I recommend Estrella and for cut I recommend Sarah and Michael. They’re great!"

"I look forward to my hair appointments. Missie always works her magic on my hair every time. She definitely is an expert with hair. She is also kind, sweet, funny and just a phenomenal person. The salon is beautiful filled with an abundance of great products and friendly people. It’s truly a special experience when you visit this salon. Highly recommend it!"

"My before and after shots after going to my all time absolute favorite salon. It's not just a place to get a haircut. This is a place where you have an experience. It starts as soon as you walk in the door and the pampering doesn't stop until you leave. They treat you to a shoulder and neck massage and I chose the mini facial as opposed to the hand and arm massage while I was in the back getting my hair, not just washed and conditioner but high end products plus a couple other treatments to enhance the beauty of my hair. They have tea and cucumber water plus some snacks if you like. Thank you everyone at Gila Rut in Hillcrest. Cut by Diego Color and curl Kayla & a HUGE assist from Pete (love your hair). I cannot forget Shannon up front to welcome you to the salon. Nice meeting Anna (love the boots) & Ami"
