Hair salon serving Claremont

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 Claremont, known for the Colleges and the Village around them. 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 Claremont hair is up against

The far east of the county runs hotter and drier than almost anywhere else in Los Angeles, and it is a long way from any coastline. Color-treated hair loses moisture fast out here, blonde in particular needs a real plan, because the lift is the easy part and holding tone through three months of heat is not.

Expect color built to last between long gaps, deliberate toning rather than corrective toning, and extension work planned around fewer, longer visits.

Getting here

The drive from Claremont

The 10 west across the whole basin, then south to the 105.

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 Claremont clients usually begin

If you are going lighter for the first time

Going blonde from a natural base is a plan rather than a single appointment, and it should be described as one before anything is mixed. Depending on where your hair starts and what it has had done to it, the honest answer is sometimes two or three sessions spaced out to protect the integrity of the hair. That gets said at the consultation, with a timeline and a cost, rather than discovered halfway through.

If you are dealing with postpartum change

Shedding and regrowth after a baby change what hair will hold, and the fringe of short new growth around the hairline is the part that catches people out. It is temporary, it is normal, and it is worth cutting and coloring around rather than through. Low-maintenance placement matters more than usual in that stretch, because the appointments are harder to get to.

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.
