Aveda Institute graduate Second Place Co in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district merges a color-focused hair salon with a fashion-design boutique at 520 Second Street, blocks from Moonlight Beach. The dual-concept space stocks an in-house clothing and accessories line alongside salon-quality hair products, a retail format that shares the curated coastal-fashion approach of Coco Rose Beach & Resort Wear on the 101. Color services emphasize sun-kissed balayage and lived-in blonde tones rooted in the Aveda botanical-product system, with every formulation built around plant-derived color lines and bond-repair chemistry. The salon operates on a gratuity-free pricing model that rolls service and tip into a single published rate, eliminating the post-appointment calculation for clients. LGBTQ+-affirming and transgender-safespace designations apply to every chair, and the Old Encinitas wellness corridor extends to mindful-movement classes at Soul of Yoga on South Coast Highway 101. The most complex offering layers a full-head balayage with foil-highlighted face-frame panels and a deposit-only gloss seal, requiring three separate processing stages with bond-multiplier application between each lift interval.
