We cut for the way you actually wear it

Marisol has been behind a chair in Pacific Beach long enough to know what salt air and a standing surf habit do to a blowout. So the consultation here is a real one: how you dry it, how long you are willing to spend on it, and whether you are ever going to pick up a round brush again. Then we cut dry, because that is the only way to see how the shape falls on your head rather than on wet hair that behaves for nobody. Color is mixed and checked by the front window in daylight, not under bulbs, and you leave with the product list and the two minutes of instruction that make it repeatable at home.

• Consultation before anything is mixed
• Cut dry, so you see the shape you leave with
• Color matched in daylight, not under bulbs
• You leave knowing how to do it yourself
