What the service includes
This service begins with a double shampoo to cleanse and prepare the hair, followed by a structured blow-dry using a 12-15 point brush set planned for short lengths. The double shampoo removes product and seaside residues common in La Jolla, then the brush set sculpts direction, volume and smoothness appropriate to short hair.
The listed price and session length are precise: $65 for a 45 MINUTES appointment. If you want the finished look curled or flat-ironed after the blowout, we curl or flat iron after blowout for an extra 20. Prices may change depending on length, texture and density, which we confirm at check-in.
How we shape short hair
Short hair responds differently to heat and brushing than longer lengths; our 12-15 point brush set targets small sections so heat and tension create clean lines, controlled volume or a smooth finish. Stylists choose brush size and tension based on hair density and desired shape rather than simply technique, which helps achieve flat, full or gently rounded results.
Coastal conditions in La Jolla — mornings with marine layer and afternoon sun — affect styling hold and product choices. We select techniques and finishing products with those local conditions in mind, especially if you plan a post-beach outing or a commute from UC San Diego or UTC where humidity and sea air can change a finished look.
Styling options and timing
A standard appointment runs 45 MINUTES and is designed for efficient, polished results for short hair. Within that time you get the double shampoo, targeted blow-dry and a professional finish; more intricate shaping, additional thermal styling, or heavy layering may take longer and can affect final pricing.
If you want additional texture or a straighter finish, we curl or flat iron after blowout for an extra 20. Tell your stylist at booking so we can allow time. We also accommodate lunchtime or after-work bookings for clients coming from work, classes, or nearby beaches like La Jolla Shores.
