About

Betsy Smith works as an independent artist from Second Place Co at 520 2nd Street in Encinitas. The building also houses a vintage-inspired clothing brand, and it opened in 2021 with a cut and color studio.

New clients start with a consultation booked online. The team then reaches out to learn about hair goals and specific requests before the first service is booked, so the appointment can be planned around what the client wants.

Color services are the core of the menu, from glosses and Colormelt styling to partial and full highlights, face framing highlights and root retouches. Every color service includes a gloss, a pH balancing rinse, a scalp massage and a blowdry style. Haircuts range from a bang trim to a longer Haircut & Shine Session that includes a shampoo, a single-color gloss or conditioning treatment, and a blowdry.

Extensions are offered from $300 using the beaded row and tape-in methods, and they begin with a consultation and a price quote. Add-on treatments can be attached to any bookable service to target scalp health, strand strength or moisture.

Guests are offered drinks and snacks at their first appointment. The salon is gratuity-free, and parking is available in the salon's own spots, in guest slots behind Second Place Co, or along 3rd Street.

Each new client begins with a consultation so the work is planned around their hair goals and requests before any service is booked.
