I never have to over-explain what I want because she just gets it. She's also super efficient and so much fun to talk to. The salon itself is amazing too. They use high-quality products so my hair always feels incredible afterward and the area where you get your hair shampooed is so relaxing because it's darker in there and the chairs are super comfortable. I leave every appointment SO happy with my hair. If you're looking for a stylist who is talented, consistent, and makes the whole experience enjoyable, I can't recommend Em enough!" — Sarah Pettycord (Google, ★5) > "In my experience, anything involving hair, can be both exciting and a little intimidating. After my consultation with Syd, an advanced stylist at Headlines, I felt so settled and excited to continue the process of getting an ultimate highlight after attempting an all over color on my own. Syd really took her time to walk me through every step of the process. She took into consideration the health and integrity of my hair, answered every question with patience, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before moving forward. You can tell she truly cares about her clients, not just their hair but their confidence and comfort too. Her warmth and sincerity are weaved within the way she does her work, and her work is undeniably amazing! Thank you Syd & Headlines Team! See you in September for a refresh!" — Rio Castro Gordon (Google, ★5) > "I had the best experience with Isla at the salon! From the time I walked in everyone was so welcoming and efficient. Isla took care of me so well, made sure I had everything I needed, and not only did she do such a wonderful job on my hair, her hospitality and kindness is really what set the bar well above average. I can honestly say this was the best experience I’ve ever had while getting my hair done. I can’t recommend this salon or Isla enough! 11/10 experience" — Hannah Mattison (Google, ★5) > "Lindsay is a new stylist for me as my previous stylist is no longer there. I was a little nervous as I really liked my previous haircut. Lindsay came recommended by the front office girl and she really spent some time talking to me and aligning me with someone I would be happy with. Well I found my best new stylist today. She was great!! Did a fantastic job on my hair and recommending products for my type of hair. I highly recommend seeing Lindsay. Thank You for a great cut and the shampooing was a dream." — Ileana Muxo (Google, ★5) > "Miguel is exceptional! He’s always friendly and patient with my questions.

I started my hair journey in 2025 and recently moved to San Diego to build my career in hairdressing. I’m currently assisting and growing my skills behind the chair, with a passion for lived-in blondes, dimensional brunettes, and effortless looks that feel authentically you. I genuinely love people and the connections I make with each client. Outside of the salon, you’ll usually find me painting or doing anything creative. I can’t wait to meet you and be part of your hair journey! - [Instagram](https://instagram.com/hairbylyssaann_/) [View Profile](https://www.headlinesthesalon.com/team/alyssa/) ### Annie — Co-Stylist Hello! My name is Annie Raftery, I am a beginning co-stylist at Headlines the salon. I am passionate about anything and everything about the hair industry, but my favorite parts are the meaningful connections made at the chair with clientele! If you catch me outside of the salon you will find me playing tennis, spending time with friends and family, going to the beach, eating lots of sushi, and watching cringy romance movies! - [Instagram](https://instagram.com/anne.beautywithin/) [View Profile](https://www.headlinesthesalon.com/team/annie/) ### Brooke — Co-Stylist Hi, I’m Brooke, and I started my journey in the beauty industry in 2026.

Outside of the salon, I love spending time on the water and boating with family and friends. - [Instagram](https://instagram.com/styledbybrooke.ca/) [View Profile](https://www.headlinesthesalon.com/team/brooke/) ### Liz — Co-Stylist Hi! My name is Lizbeth, most people call me Liz. I graduated from cosmetology school in May of 2026. I externed at Headlines & immediately after I graduated I became an assistant at this salon. What makes me most passionate about hair is bringing out the natural beauty in people with my own hands & creativity. When I’m not in the salon you will most likely find me hiking, spending time with my friends and family or sitting on my front porch reading a good book! - [Instagram](https://instagram.com/hairbylizzsd/) [View Profile](https://www.headlinesthesalon.com/team/liz/) ### Emmy — Co-Stylist Hi, I’m Emmy!

I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist for close to two years and recently returned back to assisting here at Headlines to keep learning and growing behind the chair. I’m especially drawn to lived-in color, balayage, and effortless, sun-kissed styles. When I’m not in the salon, you can usually find me outdoors, hiking, soaking up the sun, or catching a live concert. I also love taking photos and creating content, with hopes of growing into a social-media manager role one day. Creativity, connection, and a good playlist pretty much sum me up!
