Encinitas · Est. North El Camino Real
A quiet corner of Encinitas where hair is treated as craft — not chore. No rush, no noise. Just skilled hands, honest conversation, and results that look like you.
Our Philosophy
We started Hair by Tina Van Kirk on a simple belief: the best salon experience doesn't shout. It listens. Every appointment begins with a real conversation — about your hair, your routine, the life you lead.
Located on North El Camino Real in the heart of Encinitas, our studio is designed to feel like a pause button. Natural light, quiet rooms, and a team that cares about the details so you don't have to.

The Experience
Appointments are built around your schedule, not ours. No rushing out the door — just unhurried, focused attention from start to finish.
We use only professional-grade, salon-exclusive products. Every formula is chosen for performance and hair health — never for margin.
Our studio on North El Camino Real is small by design — intimate, calm, and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you actually want to stay a little longer.
We'll tell you what your hair can actually do — and what it can't. No upselling, no pressure. Just real advice from someone who's done this for years.
I've been going to Tina for years and I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else. She actually listens — and the results always look like me, just the best version.
