Set Twenty Five

Set 25 is a hair salon at 124 Lomas Santa Fe Dr. in Solana Beach, on the second floor of Solana Beach Plaza at the corner of Cedros Ave. It is across from the train station, above Purebowl and next to Smartface. The salon moved to its current space in the plaza.

The team describes itself as professional hairstylists with major salon experience who keep working on their own skills. The salon says its aim is to give every client a memorable visit, and it describes the room as relaxing and polished.

The salon's approach to trends is to let them complement each client's natural features rather than overpower them. Stylists work with what a client already has, so the result suits the person.

Blonding, color and corrective color are the core of the menu, and extensions are also offered. Because color corrections, extensions and major transformations need planning, the salon asks for an in-person or virtual consultation before those are booked. Prices depend on hair density, length, previous color history, extension needs, and the time and product a service requires.

New clients fill out an online application first. Returning clients book by calling or texting the salon. A valid card on file is needed to reserve any appointment, and cancellations or changes need at least 48 hours notice. Late cancellations, no-shows and reschedules within 48 hours are charged half the reserved total, and guests arriving more than 20 minutes late may need to rebook.

Trends are adapted to suit each client's natural features, and the stylists work with what each client already has.
