Sally Beauty in College Area carries over 6,000 hair, nail, and skin products at 6348 College Grove Way, Suite 103, San Diego 92115, inside the College Grove shopping center roughly one mile south of SDSU. Founded in 1964 by C. Ray Farber in New Orleans, Sally Beauty Holdings (NYSE: SBH) now operates more than 2,000 retail locations across the United States and Canada, and this store — #10034 — carries the full proprietary brand lineup including ion color and styling tools, bondbar bond-repair systems, Strawberry Leopard vivid color, and GVP Generic Value Products. The shelves stock national lines from Clairol, L'Oréal, Wella, Conair, and Chi, alongside hair extensions, textured multicultural haircare products, UV lamps, acrylic nail kits, gel polishes, and waxing supplies that independent stylists at Continued Beauty Lounge and other College Area salons source between distributor orders. The free Colorist OnDemand service connects walk-in shoppers with remote color-matching guidance before purchase, a resource that helps home-color buyers avoid shade mismatches on box dye and demi-permanent formulations. College Grove Way draws a steady mix of cosmetology students from nearby programs and residential buyers from the blocks surrounding the SDSU campus. Nail technicians building their own inventories find acrylic powders, monomer liquids, e-file bits, and gel-system starter kits at concentrations comparable to what full-service studios at Crystal Nails stock behind the chair. Every purchase falls under the Love It or Return It guarantee, and the Sally Beauty Rewards program — with over 17 million active members nationally — applies at this College Area register.
