The Coast Studio is Valerie Salas's private hair studio inside Salon Republic at Pacific City — Suite 502, 21058 Pacific Coast Hwy, Huntington Beach. The menu runs unusually deep for a one-chair studio: dimensional color and custom highlights from a money piece to a full platinum transformation, a dedicated curly-hair practice with dry cutting, silk presses and loc maintenance, keratin and bond-repair treatments, and a Platinum Guest menu for clients 65 and over.

Every service is priced and described up front — no 'DM for pricing' — and appointments run one client at a time, steps from the beach.
