Hair salon serving Avalon

Salon 11:11 is a boutique studio suite on Pacific Coast Highway in Hermosa Beach, and it is a deliberate trip from here rather than a convenient one for Avalon, known for Catalina Island, twenty-two miles off the coast. This is one of the furthest corners of Los Angeles County from Hermosa Beach, and there is no pretending otherwise. It is a half-day trip.

What Avalon hair is up against

Island living means salt air more or less continuously and very few options close by, which is why island clients tend to plan hair around trips to the mainland rather than around a calendar. Everything gets stacked into one visit.

That makes a single long appointment the sensible shape: color, cut and any extension work handled together, with a plan that holds until the next crossing.

Getting here

The drive from Avalon

The ferry from Long Beach or San Pedro, then a drive up the coast — a trip that only makes sense stacked with other reasons to be on the mainland.

The studio is at 1559 Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 202, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254. It is a private suite rather than an open salon floor, and appointments are by arrangement, so there is no waiting room and no overlap with another chair.

If you are making the drive, it is worth booking a longer appointment and handling everything in one visit — consultation, color, cut and any extension work together — rather than splitting it across trips.

Common starting points

Where Avalon clients usually begin

If you are growing out old color

A hard line of demarcation is the most common thing people arrive wanting gone, and the fix is rarely another full highlight. Softening the transition with a root shadow or a lower-lift placement lets old color and new growth meet without a stripe, and buys months before the next appointment. It usually costs less than starting over, and it is far kinder to hair that has already been lifted once.

If you are wearing a bob or a lob

Short shapes look effortless for about five weeks and then start fighting you, because the whole outline is doing the work and there is nowhere for growth to hide. Booking the shaping appointment before you need it is the difference between a cut that always looks intentional and one that only does for the first month. It is a shorter, cheaper appointment than a full service.

If none of that is quite your situation, the consultation is the place to say so. Nothing gets mixed before it has been talked through.
