Brenda Barnaby started her first salon in Phoenix in 1994. In just a few years, she grew it to a 1.6 million dollar business that has since been named one of the top 200 salons in the nation by Salon Today Magazine for 10+ years.

She brings that experience to San Diego where she is ready to do it again. Building community and relationships that span generations with our guests, team, and industry partners is the foundation of what drives her. As a stylist, her specialty is fine hair, beautiful grey coverage, and helping people grow their hair rather than putting it off their appointments; encouraging clients to come in often for subtle “touch-ups and tune-ups” and creating lived-in cuts and color.
