About

BB Meme Salon Hillcrest was founded in 2013 by owner Koji Kuninaga, a hairstylist with 17 years of experience before he opened it. According to the salon, it has been operating in Hillcrest for 13 years and draws clients from Kensington, Mission Hills, Normal Heights, University Heights, North Park and Downtown San Diego.

For haircuts, women's cuts start at $80 and men's at $58, each taking about 30 minutes and including a shampoo and blow dry. Trims keep the current shape, while restyles change it. Men's options include classic tidy cuts, longer textured scissor work and modern fades. The salon suggests returning every 4 to 6 weeks for short styles, 6 to 8 weeks for layered or medium lengths, and 8 to 12 weeks for long hair.

Color services cover root touch-ups from $100, single-process color from $130, partial highlights from $150, half-head highlights from $180, full-head highlights from $250, and ombre balayage from $250. A root touch-up combined with full-head highlights starts at $300. Corrective and artistic color work is quoted after discussing the look with the salon, and color services include a shampoo and blow dry. Clients planning a major change that includes color are asked to mention it when booking.

Perms and straightening include men's perms from $120 and a range of perm styles from $180. Japanese straightening starts at $320 and takes about 30 minutes. Hair NanoPlasty is a smoothing treatment, and according to the salon its results typically last 6 to 9 months depending on hair type and care. Braids are priced by style, and extensions are priced after a consultation, with I-tip, K-tip, sewn-in and tape-in methods available. Lash tints are $25, brow lamination $50, lash lifts and lash extensions each start at $75, and natural-style makeup starts at $100.

Nail services include gel manicures, dip nails and Gel-X soft-gel extensions, plus pedicures at $50 (regular or French) and $60 (spa), and full-set acrylic for feet at $65 to $80. Fashion photography packages are available by calling the salon. Appointments can be requested through the online booking form. The salon advises booking ahead, because evening and weekend slots fill quickly and walk-ins are less reliable.

The salon describes its service as personalized, with attention to detail and no rushing. Haircut consultations begin with how a client styles their hair day to day and what they want changed.
