Tino is the hairstylist I've been looking for for YEARS! He is a master at balayage and has such great attention to detail. He deeply cares about his work and clients - I live in Orange County & happily drive over an hour to see him. I am so grateful to have found him!!!

Been coming to Tino for my haircuts for a year now and each time he does a great job! When I eventually get my hair highlighted I know he'd do a great job from his instagram photos!

Tino is an amazing hairstylist! Not only has he always been accommodating to my schedule by working with me on appointment times but he is always such a pleasure to visit for a treatment or haircut. He is full of knowledge and truly educates his clients on different hair products, styles and treatments. I highly recommend his services and know that this is the only stylist I'll trust with my hair services in San Diego. Thank you for my last bob cut I absolutely love it!!!

Been coming to Tino for years, and honestly wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair. Everything you would expect from a barber but a lot more care and style. Anyone I know looking for work on their hair, I send to him. Check him out and you'll never trust anyone else with your hair too.

Love Tino! I'm a bleached blonde who can be really picky about my highlights and he delivered exactly what I wanted. I then decided to go through a grow out phase where I was super indecisive and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my hair, he was great with providing options when I was being super indecisive and I loved every change we ended up making! Highly recommend

I've tried out other spots in SD and Tino is the #1 guy that I always come back too. Laid back, private atmosphere. Exceptional work with amazing quality. Each time I leave I feel like I'm in a Revlon commercial. He has never let me down and I never plan on using anyone else when it comes to my locks.
