When did you open the salon?
We opened June 2003.

The inspiration behind the name Salon H20?
Well, San Diego is really all about the water. It's all around us. It is the one element that brings life and change to the world. And really that's what our business is all about. Plus, Thu (pronounced 'two') is the one who is in the center of the whole enterprise, just like the 2 in H20. She really holds the place together and defines the salon's atmosphere with her unique style and attitude. So H2O is a symbol that just seemed to fit.

Salon's specialty?
We do everything. We're a Paul Mitchell Platinum Salon which means we get the most advanced education offered, ranging from cutting edge cuts to our artistic award-winning Block Coloring Techniques. This ensures our stylists have all the creative tools to give our clients the style they are looking for.

What makes Salon H20 unique? (Besides having the hottest stylist)
Haha. You'll need to walk in and see for yourself. I don't think you will see anything quite like it in San Diego. It has an urban loft feel, like something you might find in New York or San Francisco. But the whole experience is still relaxed and laid back SoCal.

You are having a fashion show. Tell us about it:
"Like a Virgin" will be on April 24th @Aubergine in Downtown SD. We are going with an 80's influence. Big hair with a flair is what is hot right now. I think this will be a great way to introduce ourselves and let the crowd see what we are made of. So come by and check it out. You'll be blown away with wild and crazy hair and the couture made by Jimena Valero which is quite incredible.

Are you planning to have more events in the future?
Yes, we definitely will. We hope to have future shows in the salon. The whole design of the salon's space was with the idea to be able to utilize it for activities other than just doing hair. We plan on hosting various artistic activities from readings to film. So keep your eyes open.
