Hair Salons in Encinitas

The staff at City Style Hair beauties hair, nails, and faces using premium product lines such as Dermalogica skincare. Stylists specialize in the snags particular to styling curly hair, as well as bonding So.Cap human hair extensions using a keratin bonding agent. The salon's staff isn't shy of color: Bio Sculpture gel nail polishes and Goldwell hair dyes channel a rainbow of hues, and most brands simultaneously work to condition locks.

Warm light touches the studio's wooden floors and cabinets as clients flip through magazines and hair samples amid the earthen tones of City Style Hair's waiting area.

Owner and master stylist Azadeh Motamedi honed her keen aesthetic eye and deft scissor-wielding skills for more than 20 years before opening Azalea Salon and Spa. Inside the vibrant, red space, she and a staff of trained stylists and aestheticians listen to their clients during in-depth consultations to ensure each hair, nail, or spa service is tailored to their specifications. Cuts, color, and therapeutic treatments give locks a flattering new look, and skincare services including microdermabrasion help clients maintain a youthful glow. A free eyebrow threading comes with every service, a perk rarely seen outside of the banking industry.

Owner and stylist Evonne Hall, also known as "the hair doctor," owes her uncanny ability to repair damaged tresses to her decade of professional experience working with multinational hair types. She specializes in extensions and is certified to perform keratin-based straightening treatments. She also helms a team of talented staffers, including sought-after stylist Jameka Phillips, who sculpts over-the-top looks for weddings, gala events, and photo shoots, and Rashanique Aaron, Verianese Richards, and Lillian Scott, who perform services that range from simple cuts to bonded weaves.

Jennifer Whittaker's more than 20-year career has seen stints with Lancôme Cosmetics, her launch of Philosophy Skincare, and finally professional licensing as an aesthetician. Together with stylist Regina Lucas, Jennifer designed Bombshell Salon in a style that she defines as “urban chic”—white walls, black-framed mirrors, industrial ceilings, touches of exposed brick. The modern confines hint at the equally trendy hairstyling services in which the styling team specializes, services that include hair straightening, skincare, eyelash extensions, and—for the discerning, frequently head-butted client—titanium eyelash extensions. For each service they wield Kevin Murphy hairstyling products, an acclaimed line previously featured in Real Simple, Glamour, and InStyle magazines.

Cool sea breezes flit through the renovated manes of every client that steps out of Glance Beautique, a hip yet casual salon located blocks from the seashore. Inside the Carlsbad salon, Owner Alisa and her team of specialists breathe life into each client’s look, harnessing knowledge gleaned from years of experience and continued-education courses. They deploy salon products by Redken and Eufora, creating looks that range from beachy and bohemian to polished and professional. In addition, the pet-friendly salon prettifies its patrons with makeup, waxing, and skincare services, and is available for special event preparations, private events, or mid-bank-heist makeovers.

The geometric parquet of a brick-and-gravel path winds through the lush outdoor patio surrounding Cielo Hair & Skin Salon, acquainting visitors with the salon’s commitment to organic, natural products manifested in all of its haircentric treatments. Stylists usher patrons toward the burgundy-hued styling area, where they peer into individual floor-to-ceiling mirrors to watch new ‘dos unfold beneath cut, color, or texturizing treatments. The salon’s aesthetics team, meanwhile, employs products by Eminence, an organic skincare line from Hungary that utilizes natural ingredients such as pumpkin enzymes to plump up skin, ease acne, and grant skin a luminous glow bested only by a nuclear plant’s disco ball.
