Hawes Hair

Hawes Hair operates from Studio 27 in Suite 203 at 1555 Camino Del Mar, in the Del Mar Plaza. The salon's contact page names the location as Salon Republic. Other beauty professionals in the same building offer waxing, massage, eyebrow services and facials, and the beach is within walking distance.

Christine Hawes is the stylist and owner. She describes herself as a master stylist in Del Mar and has been working in hair for more than 20 years. Her color work centers on balayage, highlights, tint and full color, and she also does up-dos. She sees clients on a regular schedule as well as for special occasions, including bridal and special-occasion styling, which is priced on request.

Color appointments include a blow dry to a natural texture, and any extra styling is charged separately. Prices depend on how often color is refreshed: base color is typically touched up every 3 to 6 weeks and highlights every 6 to 10 weeks. Hair color that goes beyond an 8-week grow-out carries an additional charge. The studio is open Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and Wednesday and Thursday from 11 AM to 7 PM. Monday and Saturday are closed on alternating weeks, so clients should message the salon to check availability.

Christine's focus is making sure each client leaves with the look they came in for, and she has said that helping clients feel good about themselves is the best part of her work.
