About

Sunkissed Beauty is a women-owned hair color studio at 3437 Adams Avenue in Normal Heights, San Diego, founded by Fiona after a career pivot from corporate cosmetic sales back to the chair in 2019 within the 92116 ZIP. Fiona brings 13 years of beauty experience to a specialty list that centers on blonding naturally dark hair, dimensional color, color corrections, balayage, root smudging, and hair extensions. She holds a Moroccan Oil Brand Educator role, which adds manufacturer-level product training to her in-salon color formulation work, and the independent roasting at Dark Horse Coffee Roasters on Adams Avenue supplies the kind of single-origin coffee the salon serves to clients during their color appointments. The stylist team includes Kristin, who specializes in brunette tones, braids, boho styling, and bridal hair for weekend wedding bookings, and Maile, a San Diego native and cosmetologist since 2019 who focuses on babylights, color corrections, and lived-in color. Sunkissed Beauty also retails hand-picked hair-care and skin-care products selected by Fiona from lines she has tested and vetted through her educator training. The salon offers education and mentoring for emerging stylists, with hands-on training in color theory, foil placement, and social-media marketing for independent beauty businesses. Sunkissed Beauty holds LGBTQ+-inclusive designation and is wheelchair-accessible at the entrance, parking lot, and restroom. The artisan gift and home goods at Home Ec on Adams Avenue are part of the same Normal Heights independent-retail ecosystem that makes the corridor a single-trip destination for personal style, grooming, and locally sourced goods. Fiona's studio mascot, a pup named Poppy, greets clients at the door.
