What we do
Facials
01Scissor and clipper work shaped to how your hair actually grows, checked in the mirror before you're called done.
Fades & tapers
02Skin, low, mid or high — blended by hand so the line disappears instead of announcing itself.
Beard trims
03Shaped with shears and clippers, cheek and neck lines cleaned up so the shape holds between visits.
Hot towel shaves
04A slower chair: steamed towels, lather, and a careful razor pass for the closest shave a face can take.
Kids' cuts
05Cuts paced for a kid's patience, with the chair set to their speed rather than the clock's.
Color & styling
06Color and finish work to change up the look or clean up the grey, done as its own appointment.

Call to bookCut for the regrowth
Every cut is shaped to still look right in a few weeks, not just the moment you stand up.
Checked before you're done
You look in the mirror at each stage of the cut, not only at the very end.
One chair, your barber
Your appointment is worked start to finish by one barber, not handed off partway through.
One shop, cuts built for the coast air
Artisan Esthetics sits in Encinitas doing the fundamentals well: haircuts, fades, beard trims, shaves, color and styling, kids' cuts. Every appointment starts with a real conversation about what your hair does on a normal day, not just what looks sharp in the mirror for the ten minutes you're still sitting in the chair. Scissor and clipper work is checked as it goes, necklines are cleaned up with care, and you leave with something that still works on day twelve, not just day one. Come with a photo or come with nothing — either way you get a straight answer about what will actually sit right.
How a first visit runs
(631) 988-4694Book a consultation
Say what you'd like help with. A first visit usually starts with a look at your skin and a few questions.
Talk through your routine
What you use at home, any medications, and what has irritated your skin before — it all changes what's safe to do.
Agree the plan first
What's being done, and why, is settled before the treatment starts.
Leave with aftercare
Ask what to use and what to avoid for the next few days — sunscreen almost always among them.
Before your first treatment
Four things worth knowing — wherever you book
True of any skin studio, this one included.
Mention retinoids and acne medication
Some treatments don't mix with them. A good provider asks; it's worth volunteering anyway.
Ask about a patch test
New products and peels can react with skin. Testing a small area first is a normal thing to ask for.
Sun changes the plan
A fresh sunburn or a tan can change which treatments are safe. Say so when you book.
Results are usually a series
Most skin goals take more than one visit. Ask what a realistic plan looks like before you start.

good to know
- Do I need to book ahead, or can I walk in?
- Booking secures you a specific time with your barber. If you'd rather not plan ahead, call and ask what the day looks like — it depends on how the schedule is running that day.
- I don't know the name of the cut I want — is that a problem?
- No. Tell your barber what bothers you about your current cut and what your hair needs to do on a normal day. Naming the style is the barber's job; describing what you want is yours.
- Do you cut kids' hair?
- Yes. Kids' cuts are paced to the kid, whether that means moving quickly for an experienced sitter or slowing down for a first haircut.
