the team.

We’re a collaborative space featuring a lived-in cut and color studio. We love co-creating with our clients to help them feel their very best. Finding our natural beauty is something that helps us greet the world with confidence and a smile.

Betsy Smith

Betsy has been practicing the art of hair since 2009 as an Aveda Institute graduate. Originally from Columbus, Ohio she’s grateful to now call Encinitas her home. Constantly inspired by the sun and her clients, she loves creating natural sun-kissed hair color and a low-maintenance vibe. When she’s not behind the chair, she is hitting the trail for a run, planning her next trip to the desert, or at the beach with her family.

My goal with each and every client is to give you a one-on-one experience, making you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. I want your hair to fit your lifestyle. I like to keep things natural and low-maintenance because life is all about chillin’! Sit back and relax, be honest, ask questions, and let’s get to know each other! I’d love to take care of you.
