Welcome to the jungle

Your hair is our obsession.

Before anyone touches your hair you get a real consultation — what you want, what your hair will actually do, and what it takes to keep it looking like that at home. Then cutting, color, extensions, hair restoration, scalp health, head spa, nails, lashes and makeup — all in one very green, very glowing room.

The Adair name has been behind the chair since 1929. Four generations later the promise hasn't moved: you leave looking like the best version of you — not like a trend with a three-week shelf life.

We're not in the business of giving you someone else's hair.

New signature ritual

The Jungle Head Spa

A slow, deliberate scalp ritual — warm oil, lymphatic massage, steam, and a cleansing treatment built for your scalp specifically. You come in wound up. You leave horizontal.

Relax. Restore. Renew.

Option one

60-minute treatment

The full scalp ritual — cleanse, lymphatic massage, steam and treatment, finished with a warm towel.

Option two

90-minute treatment

Everything in the 60, extended — deeper massage, a second treatment phase, and a finishing blow-dry style.

Our specialty

Hair Loss & Scalp Health

Thinning, shedding and scalp trouble are their own field, and they are now Chelsea's main focus. Every solution we offer is non-surgical — no transplants, no downtime. We diagnose before we treat: DNA testing, a real scalp assessment, then a plan that can run from treatments and nutraceuticals all the way to a custom wig.

You do not have to accept it as the way it is now.

Owner & stylist

Meet Chelsea.

Chelsea Adair has been behind her chair since 2006, following her mother, aunt, uncle, grandmother and great-grandmother Phyllis, who started the family in hair in 1929.

She opened her first salon in Encinitas in 2012, outgrew it in three years, and moved the whole thing to Carlsbad. She's Vidal Sassoon certified, a certified makeup artist, and has worked behind the chair with A-list clients — but she'd rather talk to you about your hair.
