First Place 2025 Readers’ Choice “Best Of Salons”
Longer, fuller hair usually means a long appointment and a heavy install. Tape-ins skip both. Since each weft lies flat against your scalp, the length blends in rather than weighing you down.
So at Salotto Salon, we install tape in extensions San Diego clients come back for. We match your color first, then map every piece to your density and the way you wear your hair.
We believe in real results and honest feedback. Here's what guests share about their experience at Salotto Salon:
"Paid by card. Salotto is located in a small business area and offers plaza parking. I was referred to this salon by a friend and I love it! Anthony is amazing for cuts and color! The rest of the staff is very welcoming and kind. I've gone here twice in the last few months and will continue to go. I found my salon! I would definitely recommend this place and will go back."
“I was way overdue for a haircut and found Salotto on Yelp. I called and the receptionist was very friendly and was able to fit me in on a Saturday with Anthony. The girls I interacted with at the salon were all really nice and I enjoyed chatting with Anthony as he cut my hair. Love my cut and overall had a great experience here. I'm glad this place is near home. I'll be back.”
“I can't say enough nice things about Salotto Salon. Anthony took the time and utilized his creativity to give me the exact color and cut I was looking for. "I've never been happier leaving a hair salon!" Without question, I would recommend Anthony to all that need a spectacular stylist. Thank you Anthony.”
Most sets go in during a single appointment. You walk out with the length you came for, blended and ready to style.
Tape-ins have earned their popularity for good reason. They install quickly, wear comfortably, and disappear into natural hair when placed correctly.
Speed is the first thing you notice. Tape in hair extension installation in San Diego rarely takes more than a single appointment, so you leave with your full length and volume the same day. When an event is already on the calendar, that turnaround matters.
Comfort comes next. The wefts are thin and flat, so they lie close to your scalp with no beads or knots to press against. That is what makes lightweight hair extensions San Diego stylists recommend such a good match for finer hair.
Placement is only half the job, though. Color matching happens during your consultation, so your extensions pick up your shade, dimension, and root tone rather than sitting on top of them. If color is part of the plan, our Modern Blonde Coloring team will schedule both services to match your hair.
Upkeep is where tape-ins really earn their place. Every six to eight weeks, your stylist moves the wefts back up as your hair grows. Book those tape-in extension move-up San Diego appointments in advance, because the same hair can usually be retaped and worn again.
Tape-in extensions come as pre-taped wefts that your stylist applies in pairs, sandwiching a thin section of your own hair between them. Nothing is heated, beaded, or braided. That gentler approach is what sets them apart from sewn in extensions.
Tape-ins are lighter, go in faster, and ask less of you long term, so they tend to be where first-time clients start.
Your stylist sections your hair, sets each weft pair around a thin panel, and presses the tape closed. Placement follows your density and growth pattern, so the panels stay hidden whether your hair is down, pulled back, or up.
The hair itself makes the difference. We use extension hair chosen for its shine, durability, and natural movement, so your set still looks right after weeks of wear and holds up through re-taping.
Every service begins with a real consultation. Before anything goes in, your stylist plans the method, color, length, density, and timing with you, then walks you through how tape-ins compare to the rest of our hair extensions menu.
Whether you want a full transformation or just a quiet lift in volume, your tape in hair extension installation in San Diego is planned around your hair rather than a standard set.
The complete set, with panels placed throughout for even density and maximum length. Pricing is set at your consultation, once your stylist knows how much hair you actually need.
A lighter set for fullness rather than length. Choose this one if you already like where your hair falls and simply want more body through the mid-lengths and ends.
Your extensions are matched to your shade, your dimension, and your root tone. Done properly, they read as your own hair growing longer, not as a layer sitting on top of it.
Every six to eight weeks, your stylist moves the wefts back up as your hair grows out. Between those visits, our Shampoo, Blowdry & Style with Extensions service keeps the set looking freshly installed.
Removal uses a proper solvent that releases the bond without pulling on your natural hair. In most cases, the same hair can be re-taped and put straight back in.
How you brush, wash, and sleep on your extensions decides how long they last. Your stylist covers all of it, including which products to avoid near the bonds.
Where you book matters as much as the method. Here's what makes us a tape in extensions salon San Diego clients keep coming back to.
Book NowOur stylists train regularly in modern extension work, across both tape-in and invisible bead methods. That means experienced hands on your hair every visit, not just on your first one.
Meet the stylists at Salotto Salon who handle your extension service from start to finish.
We map panel placement to your density and growth patterns rather than working from a template. That single choice is what separates wefts nobody notices from wefts you can spot the moment you pull your hair up.
Good hair and a good color match have to work together. We pair high-quality extension hair with a match to your shade and root tone, so the set disappears into your hair rather than sitting on top of it.
Salotto Salon took first place in the 2025 Readers' Choice "Best Of Salons" awards. The better proof, though, is that most of our extension guests come back for their move-ups, because the results still look right weeks later.
Start with the consultation. Your stylist looks at your hair, maps the placement, and quotes the set before anything is ordered.
