About

The Diamond Mine is a hair salon on Camino del Rio North in San Diego. Its menu is grouped into braids, color, extensions, hair, locs, texture and The Diamond Press, the group that covers blowouts, roller sets and pressing treatments.

Braid work ranges from two braids to freestyle designs of eight or more, and box braids or singles are offered without extensions. Extension options include crochet braids (with hair supplied by the client), traditional sew-ins, braidless sew-ins and I-tip extensions, plus maintenance for existing installs. Braidless sew-ins and I-tip extensions require a consultation first.

Permanent color is priced by the number of bowls used, one, two, or three or more. Every color service begins with a color consultation listed at $10, and permanent color appointments include shampoo, conditioning and a blow-dry. Clients who have never had color done need a consultation before booking color plus press.

Silk press with trim starts at $81 and includes a hair bath, deep conditioning, a blow-dry or roller set, trim, flat iron and a silk wrap. Locs services cover full loc service, retwists and detox only. Haircuts start at $45, trims are $25, and two strand twists start at $99.

Surfaces are disinfected between clients and disposable supplies are used. Booksy lists hours of Tuesday and Thursday 10 AM to 7 PM, Friday 9 AM to 7 PM and Saturday 8 AM to 2 PM, with the salon closed Sunday, Monday and Wednesday.
