“I love this place! I have amazing hair for a fraction of the price of a salon. All the students do excellent work. I have been coming here for three years. Each time I have a new student, the quality does not change, because the school keeps a record of the formula for the color of my hair. Teachers are walking by and monitoring progress regularly, so I feel as though the supervision is strong, and I am getting great service. Just today, I had Anna who will be graduating in just one week. But each student I’ve had has had a passion and talents for what they do. I get my hair cut and colored, and my legs waxed regularly here. It’s a fraction of salon pricing and I love the results. I 100% recommend the school for all your beauty needs!”

“10/10 experience, had Katja as a hairstylist and got exactly what I wanted (layers all around). Super happy with the results!!!”

“Emile did a great blowout and braids.”

“Today I got highlights by Mia Gladden she did an amazing job on my hair she’s so kind and fun she walked me through everything she was doing making sure I was okay with it I’ve gotten so many compliments since she did my hair, I love it so much 5++++ stars!”

“Sage Sage Sage!!!! She took my vision and brought it to life! She did such an amazing job and put so much time and effort into every detail. She is so naturally talented. 100/10, definitely recommend!!”

“i had such an amazing experience! my stylist was analise and she did such a great job!! i got a haircut with some layers and it’s just perfect!!! definitely recommend going to her if you’re looking to get anything done <3 here are some photos for reference "

“I had an amazing experience at Palomar Institute of Cosmetology with Samantha Bailey. I appreciated how Samantha explained what she was doing while she was working. My appointment experience was relaxing (Samantha’s shampooing felt so good- and smelled great too) from the shampoo to blow drier. I love love my new cut too. It feels so light, fun and fresh. Samantha is so sweet, she asked and listened to what I wanted done. Thank you so much Samantha and thank you instructors for teaching and guiding these students!”

“Before Anna, I had gotten my hair done at a professional salon. though, I loved my hair color, it had washed out after 2 washes and left me with a brassy shade that I was not happy about! Going back would be too expensive, so I decided to give one of the students at this school a try and she impressed me so much with her knowledge, talent, and work! I am glad to say I, for SURE, plan to keep in touch with Anna, even after she graduates! She was extra attentive to my needs and made sure I was satisfied with the outcome before I left her chair. I naturally have thick and wavy hair as an Asian/Pacific Islander mixed girl, but she found ways to work with it and made it look so good! It has been about more than a month now and the color she used is still intact and still looks great for the brown shade I was going for!!! 10/10 experience and 10/10 recommend her if you plan on visiting this school! “

“Anna did an amazing job on my hair. She is very kind and knowledgeable of her work. Gave me some good hair tips, too.”

“10/10 experience! Analise was super nice and did a great job! I got chunky highlights after having years of box dye. They did a good job of getting my hair as light as possible while still making sure it was as healthy as possible. I absolutely love my hair I would definitely go back again! I will recommend to friends & family:)).”

“I had a haircut, blow-dry & treatment & absolutely love how it came out. My hair is so soft & silky. I am definitely coming back. Helen is amazing “

“I had Kaylynn today. She was great. I really enjoyed the massage, and she took care of every need I had. She was so pleasant and great.”

“Anna styled my hair today and it looks amazing. She is so sweet and talented. Thank you, Anna!”

“Eileen did an amazing job cutting my hair and i enjoyed her company. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a good cut.”

“I went to see Helen after using box colors for my roots for the longest time and she did a color correction for me and I am so happy that I am continuing on with her. It’s been a long time since I have found anyone, I trust with my hair and I finally found her! I’m so happy and grateful to her for saving my hair! Totally worth the $!”

“I’m very pleased with the service I received at the Institute. Helen was very professional, and I enjoyed every minute here. Thank you!!”

• “I love Keala! She always does an amazing job with my hair!”

“Great experience. Professional, courteous and friendly staff. Venue is clean with plenty of parking. Here is my before and after photos. Very pleased with the services provided. Got what I needed and asked for. Will definitely be back.”

• “Enjoyed my time being here. I came here to get a haircut after two years of not cutting it. Helen was very nice and attentive to what I wanted. Very confident and did amazing overall!”

“I had my hair done yesterday at Palomar Institute of Cosmetology. It was my first time and wow was I impressed. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect or what the outcome was going to be. My hair had about 3 or 4 inches of regrowth and looked drab. My colorists were Gabi, Nallely, and their instructor was Ms. Juju. All were great listeners, professional, knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. They didn’t overlook any detail. They took pride in their work and really cared about the end result. I love the color! Thank you so much!”

“As a curly girl, it can be nerve wrecking to allow someone to cut your hair. Having curly hair can be a curse of years of fighting frizz and feeling misunderstood by your stylists. However, from the moment I sat in her chair, Gabi Martinez served every expectation I had and beyond. She asks all the right questions and never forces her own vision or tries to tame my curls. Her excitement when it comes to curly hair is both contagious and extraordinary, and although Gabi is still a student, she truly understands your hair! Her precision and genuine passion for her craft is undeniable. If you want to rock your curls, Gabi is the way to go :)!”

I went to Daniela here at PIC and OMG I left with such beautiful hair!! I wanted to go from blonde to brunette and she NAILED IT! I highly recommend booking your next appointment with her. (This was better than my experience at a 5 star salon in Del Mar).”

“Love this place! Ashley did a phenomenal job on my haircut. She understood what I wanted and delivered perfectly. Highly recommend her!”

“I had an amazing experience at Palomar Institute of Cosmetology’s salon! The instructors and students were wonderful, so professional and attentive. The services were excellent, and you could tell they really care about their work and the clients. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for quality services. I am a firm believer in learning, so it is nice to be a part of that experience.”

“Always the best experience here! The instructors do a great job at teaching the students how to properly style, cut and color hair. I get exactly what I ask for every time!”
