One Salon San Diego

One Salon San Diego was founded by Rafi Kuhami, who is its owner and a master stylist. The salon is at 2015 Birch Road in the Eastlake area of Chula Vista. The salon describes itself as a luxury hair salon in Chula Vista and San Diego, and says its values center on luxury, innovation and exceptional care.

Every visit starts with a complimentary consultation. The consultation covers hair history, goals, current condition and what maintenance is realistic, and the stylist recommends the service and timing. Appointments are booked by phone at 619-934-2018 rather than online, and the salon does not give consultations or advice by email or chat.

Color correction addresses uneven, over-processed, brassy or unwanted color, including banding and patchy lightening. It takes more planning and time than a standard color appointment and may need more than one visit. Balayage is a hand-painted highlighting technique for a softer grow-out and lower-maintenance brightness, customized to hair texture, base color and the desired finish. Blonde highlights are tailored to hair type, tone goals and how much maintenance a client wants.

Precision haircuts are shaped around face shape, hair texture and styling routine, and can be adapted for thick, coarse or textured hair. Haircuts can be combined with color, highlights or balayage in the same appointment. The salon serves clients with thick, coarse, frizzy or hard-to-manage hair.

Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10AM to 5PM. Monday and Sunday are by appointment only, as are any times outside business hours, because stylists set their own schedules. Hair care products used in the salon are Colure Hair Care, which the salon describes as all natural, non-toxic and vegan, and which are sourced locally from Oceanside, California.

Consultation-led: the salon recommends services and appointment length by phone before booking, and every appointment begins with a consultation.
