Quick info
About Detour Salon & Detour The Store
On South Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas, Detour Salon & Detour The Store combines a beauty salon with a retail shop under one roof. Visitors can browse the store's offerings alongside the salon's services without needing an appointment, since the business operates on a walk-in basis. The pairing of salon and shop in a single location gives visitors a chance to handle products in person before or after their service. Staffing and scheduling follow the walk-in model throughout, so hours of operation set the rhythm of the day rather than booked slots. The address on South Coast Highway 101 places it along a stretch of the corridor that runs through Encinitas.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to Detour for haircuts, with several describing years with the same stylist and never a bad cut. Stylists are praised for listening and for tailoring a style to hair type and budget, and one reviewer says the price points suit different clients. Color comes next, including blonde highlights, along with extensions and one bride's hair and makeup coordinated for her whole bridal party. Front desk staff are described as asking questions about hair needs to match callers with the right stylist, and the teas are mentioned as part of a fun atmosphere. The one clear complaint comes from a visitor who enjoyed the vibe but, after washing and drying straight hair the next day, found a chunk cut in front of the face with no angle, added as face framing and hidden by the curl styling. That reviewer felt the only fix was paying another salon. Another reviewer, new to a stylist for highlights and a cut, booked a touch up before even leaving the salon.

“Love love love Detour and everyone who works here. Owners Jarred and Kirk are the sweetest people you will ever meet. Myranda is amazing and has been coordinating hair and makeup for me and my bridal party for my upcoming wedding. Jasmine did an amazing job on my makeup and Kate is beyond talented when it comes to hair. Can’t wait for the wedding!”

“I would recommend this salon highly. Everyone is very professional and attentive to your hair needs and it’s a fun great atmosphere. My stylist is Aliza and she is just outstanding. I have had my hair down in LA, New York, Nashville , Atlanta , DC, Miami and Seattle by some great stylists and Aliza is right up there with the very very best. I highly recommend her for all services. She works with an assistant and they are an amazing team for cut, color and extensions.Never rushed! Furthermore , the front desk receptionists work with you to connect you with the best stylists when you first call the place. They ask several questions regarding your hair needs putting you at ease. Amanda was so kind to me and carefully listened to the type of person I needed. Thank you!! And truly it is a fun place with great teas to enjoy. 😊”

“Love going to Detour Salon. Over the past few years, I've had a few different stylists but have never been disappointed. With price points to accommodate all clients, Detour has been able to cut my hair without completely emptying my wallet in the process. I see a stylist every 4-6 months and they keep my hair looking beautiful”
