Musa by Katherine Granados

Musa by Katherine Granados is a salon in Poway that Katherine Granados built into her own business after years working as a stylist. The salon is at 12636 Poway Rd in Suites 4 and 6, and its hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 11 AM to 7 PM, Friday and Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with the salon closed Monday, Wednesday and Sunday.

The menu centers on color: root touch-ups and grey coverage, single-process color refreshes, several levels of highlighting from a face-frame refresh to an all-over highlight, and custom blonding. Cuts include a long-hair signature cut with consultation, a luxury wash and a signature style, and bang trims are listed at no charge.

Smoothing treatments are offered to reduce frizz and add shine and hydration. The salon offers formaldehyde-free options and says results can last up to six months. Free 30-minute consultations are available for both smoothing treatments and hair extensions, to talk through goals, length, fullness, method, color and the amount of hair needed.

New clients must leave a deposit for every booking, and certain services, such as blonding and smoothing treatments, also require one; the deposit is credited toward the total. Haircuts and blowouts booked without a deposit can be canceled or changed with at least 24 hours' notice. A same-day cancellation or a missed appointment may carry a fee or mean a deposit is required for future bookings, and after repeated missed appointments, a deposit is needed to hold any future service. Buy Now, Pay Later is offered for in-person bookings priced from $50 to $4,000, and it must be approved before the appointment.

Focuses on healthy, low-maintenance hair that fits everyday life, with attention to keeping hair in good condition.

The owner aims for a welcoming, relaxing space where every client feels comfortable and cared for.
