About

For full-spectrum hair and body care near Grossmont Center in La Mesa, HAIR BY SUSAN @ SHEAR ILLUSIONS operates inside a CND Shellac-certified salon and spa at 8363 Center Drive. The parent facility bundles hair cutting, single-process color, Brazilian waxing, skincare facials, and Shellac nail applications into single-visit appointments, building an integrated personal-care menu that parallels the esthetics focus at Beleza Waxing & Skincare Lounge on La Mesa's salon corridor. CND Shellac certification means nail technicians on site apply the brand's proprietary UV-cured gel polish system, which bonds without primer damage to the natural nail plate. The salon previously operated inside Grossmont Center before relocating to the Center Drive address in the Journey Community Church complex, retaining its multi-chair layout and full spa infrastructure. Hair services span foil highlights, balayage, and keratin smoothing treatments while an on-site massage therapist handles deep-tissue and Swedish sessions under the same roof — a vertical integration also reflected at Massage Envy nearby. Top-tier services include full corrective color sessions requiring multi-step strand testing, pigment removal, and controlled re-deposition to restore color integrity after chemical or environmental damage.
