The Hair Lair, located in the Mission Valley area, specializes in hair color and cutting services in
a private salon setting. I use the Organic Color Systemand
other low/no ammonia color lines so that the overwhelming chemical smell found in most traditional salons is not an issue.
Interested in natural straightening? I offer the Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy and Zerran Reform permanent straightening systems. Neither uses formaldehyde or the other harsh chemicals found in other popular smoothing
and straightening systems. Our eco-friendly
products and services, and private client scheduling ensures my customers enjoy a
more pleasant salon environment and individualized salon experiences.
The Hair Lair carries several vegan
and paraben free products to take home with you like Zerran Hair Care, Keepin' It Real and Stript Mineral Makeup. I
have also partnered up with several online businesses who ofer eco-friendly products. See the "Think Green"
section below for links to their sites.
In need of waxing or skincare services? The Hair Lair is proud to share my
private setting with Kelly Howarth of Brazil Appeal Waxing. Kelly offers waxing and organic skincare services.

Background
Andrea Riklin, operator of The Hair Lair, is a
color expert and stylist who has been in the beauty industry for over 15 years.
After receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and working at a domestic violence shelter, Andrea
wanted to help people feel good about themselves not only inside but outside.
Working in a salon has been a great way to help achieve that goal.
Andrea loves everything about the beauty world from hair to makeup
but her favorite has always been being able to change her hair color. Her passion for hair color led her to pursue a
corporate career as a Hair Color Educator with the Wella Sebastian Corporation. For 6 years, Andrea worked closely with
some of the world's top colorists and assisted them at regional hair shows before deciding to return to work in the salon.
Think Green
The Hair Lair is trying to reduce
its footprint on the environment by utilizing products that are more environmentally friendly. We also try
to recycle as much of our supplies as possible. We also participate in the Matter Of Trust
Hair For Oil Spills Program. By donating hair clippings from every hair cut and recycling
nylons donated by customers, this salon is helping clean up the environment. For more information on this program
or to find out how you can help, please their website at www.matteroftrust.org
