About

Welcome to cut, a world-class hairdressing salon.

Helping a bride look beautiful, flawless and confident on her wedding day is the most important part of my job as a makeup artist.

For me beauty has never been about trends or making someone look weird just to be different.

I have always been interested in making women look as beautiful as possible while making them look like themselves.

On your wedding day I want you to feel and look healthy, radiant, beautiful and strong!

Beauty is so much deeper than lipstick and powder but they sure come in handy on your big day!

Nestled in the stylish neighborhood of Bankers Hill, we are blocks away from downtown San Diego.

Our purpose built 13 chair salon is designed around the principle of “form follows function”.

This philosophy informs a workable space where everything is within reach or just a few steps away.

The spacious salon has a minimalist, loft-like design that is distinctly hip and unpretentious.

Witty, rustic touches are juxtaposed with a sleek, modern design to create a welcoming, ambient air in which comfort and flair is everything.

After opening its doors a short time ago, cut is fast becoming one of San Diego’s most talked about destination

full-service hair salons – where highly-skilled stylists focus on delivering unparalleled services

tailored to the individual needs of the contemporary client.

cut is only a short drive from anywhere in San Diego, yet, as a venue, it constitutes an oasis of calm and creativity.

Beautifully Yours

Marisela Alvarez

Marisela's palate selection was perfect. My skin felt great. Air brushing is the way to go. My skin positively glowed. I am not particularly comfortable with having make up done but Marisela was wonderful to work with. I won't hesitate to use her again.

When I was deciding on hair and makeup for my wedding, my first and only choice was Cut Salon. I have been going there for years and was so excited for Marisela to do my make up for the big day. I normally do not wear a lot of make up and was really concerned with how my make up would like that day. I wanted to look natural but still stand out as the bride. Marisela really listened to what I wanted and the look I was going for. My make up turned out AMAZING and looked fantastic in the photographs! Marisela is really talented!!!!! My make up looked fresh and stayed from the morning until the end of the reception that night. I definitely would recommend her services!!! She is just fantastic!!!

Marisela was completely accommodating of my strange and frantic schedule for a 4 day event that I needed her for make-up 3 of those days! She was always ready for me, I just had to slide into her chair and we were off. She was fast and efficient, changing the intensity of my look to be appropriate for that particular days event. She was sweet and generous with her time and interest in what I did and the finished product was overwhelmingly perfect! It was me in there but a younger, fresher looking and prettier me! I can't wait for the next excuse I have to schedule another make-up session with her! Marisela is the BEST!
