Katie Anderson founded Salon Thrive in 2015 and built it while keeping a full-time clientele of her own from the start. In 2025 Sam VanGorden became a partner, and the salon's two locations were combined into one larger space in Santee.
Hair services are grouped into cuts, color, extensions, weddings, styling, and treatments. Color covers root touch-ups, partial and full highlights, full color, balayage, and color correction, which begins with a consultation. Extensions are priced per consultation, after the team settles on the type, weight, and method. Prices for cuts and styling vary between stylists based on experience and specialization.
Beauty Bar by Thrive is an esthetics area inside the salon, staffed by licensed estheticians. It offers custom facials, dermaplaning, hydro-exfoliation, a BioRePeel option with or without dermaplaning, a peel designed for acne, a scalp detox, lash extensions, and waxing and brow services. Beauty Bar bookings go through the Square scheduling system, and first-time lash clients are asked to book a full set.
The salon's stated approach centers on precision, care for each guest, and keeping up with new techniques. Its aim is to be a supportive place for stylists as well as a place where guests leave feeling confident. The salon states it has served San Diego for more than ten years, has 5-star reviews on Google, and has hundreds of happy clients. The salon is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm, with Sundays by appointment only. Appointments can be booked online, by phone at (619) 258-2784, or by text. Hours are subject to change.
Haircuts, color and styling are adjusted for each individual client. The salon focuses on listening to guests and on developing its team's skills.
