Sumika Forbes Hair Design is a hair salon at 1555 Camino Del Mar #203, Del Mar, CA 92014, rated 5.0 stars across 9 Google reviews. Sumika Forbes is a certified color specialist credentialed by the American Board of Certified Haircolorists, a distinction that places her among a select group of colorists who have passed rigorous practical and written examinations in hair color chemistry and application. Her studio inside Salon Republic at Del Mar Plaza is open six days a week — Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. — with Friday off. That weekend availability, especially the extended Saturday hours until 8 p.m., makes the salon a practical choice for clients who work traditional weekday schedules. Appointments are required, and both credit and debit cards are accepted. The 1555 Camino Del Mar address places the salon in Del Mar Plaza, the village's signature open-air center where European-inspired architecture, fountains, and ocean-view decks surround boutique shopping and coastal dining. Bare & Bee Esthetics operates in the same Salon Republic suite, so clients can schedule a color appointment and a custom glow facial in a single plaza visit. Walking south from the plaza along Camino Del Mar leads past galleries and shops to Jake's Del Mar, where oceanfront patio seating makes for a rewarding post-appointment lunch. Board-certified color expertise and six-day availability are a combination few independent stylists in coastal North County offer.
