About

Pretty AF is a by-appointment hair salon at 2125 Adams Ave in San Diego. Appointments are usually booked two to three weeks ahead, and walk-ins are not accepted. Longer services such as Modern Blonding and extension installation are the hardest to fit in, so booking them well in advance helps, while haircuts are generally easier to get. Evening and weekend times fill first, so clients are encouraged to rebook before leaving their appointment.

The menu is organized into blonding, color, extensions, cuts and styling, treatments, and weddings. Blonding ranges from Modern Blonding, which can be tailored for blondes or brunettes with soft or bold dimension through frame or ribbon highlights, to Traditional Highlight for an overall blonde look and Global Blonding, a solid blonde from root to tip that needs regular upkeep. The color menu includes a Specialty Reds package for building and keeping a balanced red, a single custom Traditional Color applied root to tip, and a Color Transformation and Correction service that can take more than one session and begins with a consultation.

Color is made with the COLOR.ME line by KEVIN.MURPHY, which is ammonia-free and PPD-free and includes ingredients such as shea butter, aloe vera and honey. Treatments can be formulated around specific hair concerns or to care for locs. Cuts and styling cover short to long hair, blunt to layered shapes, and everyday or occasional styling. Extension service is installation only; the hair itself is an added cost and is ordered custom to match color, length and density, and additional charges may apply depending on hair length, natural base color and density.

Wedding services are arranged by consultation, so interested clients are asked to email for options and packages. Color appointments are best parked in an unmetered spot nearby, while a two-hour meter is fine for a haircut. Texting is the fastest way to reach the salon. Dogs are not permitted inside, except service dogs. Cancellations or changes need at least 48 hours' notice; repeated late cancellations or no-shows are charged 50% of the booked appointment value.

Built around hair health and longevity, with a focus on color and blonding work that stays good between visits.
