№ 01Boutique color studio, Escondido

What we do
Color
01A full color service built around your actual hair and upkeep, discussed and matched before anything gets mixed.
Cuts & styling
02A cut shaped to how your hair falls and how you actually style it at home, not just how it looks fresh out of the chair.
Balayage
03Hand-painted highlights placed for a soft, grown-out look rather than a hard line at the root.
Blowouts
04A finished, smooth blowout for a night out, a big meeting, or just a day you want your hair to behave.
Keratin & smoothing
05A smoothing treatment that cuts down frizz and blow-dry time without flattening your natural texture entirely.
Special-occasion styling
06Upstyles and finished looks for weddings, portraits, and nights that call for more than a blowout.
Not sure what to ask for? Call — we’ll talk it through.
Call to bookConversation before color
Nothing gets mixed until we've talked through what you want it to look like weeks from now, not just today.
Painted, not foiled
Balayage is applied by hand in sections so the grow-out stays soft instead of leaving a hard line.
Checked in real light
Finished color is checked against natural light before you leave the chair, not just under salon lighting.
A black awning, a circular sign, and one chair at a time
Deana Dewindt Hair sits behind a glass storefront with a damask-stencil wall and a sign that looks more like a piece of art than a logo — the kind of room built to slow down, not rush through. The work follows the same idea. Before any color goes on or any scissors open, there's a real conversation about what your hair does day to day and what you're actually trying to solve. Nothing gets mixed or cut until that part is settled, which is why what leaves the chair tends to still make sense weeks later.
How a first visit runs
(760) 705-6297Book it your way
Call or message — say whether it's a cut, color or both, so the right amount of time gets set aside.
Start with a consultation
A few minutes to talk it through before anything starts. Photos of the look you want help more than words.
Nothing is a surprise
Length, tone and finish are checked with you as it goes, not revealed at the end.
Leave knowing how to keep it
Ask how to style it at home and when to come back. That's part of the visit, not an extra.
Before your first visit
Four things worth knowing — whatever salon you choose
True anywhere, this salon included. A good first visit starts with a conversation.
A consultation costs nothing
Any good stylist starts with questions. If the work starts before the questions do, that's your answer.
Bring the photo
A picture of the look you want beats any description of it. Save two or three — and one you don't want.
Color needs a patch test
Skin reacts. A test a day or two ahead is the standard for new color, not the exception.
Book the person, not just the salon
Consistency is the whole game. When you find a stylist whose work you like, ask for them by name next time.

good to know
- How do I know if balayage or full highlights are right for me?
- That's what the consultation is for — we look at your natural color, how fast your roots grow in, and how much upkeep you want, then talk through which technique gets you there. Nothing is decided before that conversation happens.
- Will the color match what I show you in a photo?
- Photos are a starting point, not a guarantee, since lighting and hair history change how a color reads. We talk through what's realistic for your hair before mixing anything, so what you leave with is something we discussed together.
- How do I book an appointment?
- Call or reach out through the site and we'll find a time that works. If it's for a specific date like a wedding, mention it up front so the service can be planned around that timeline.
