About Salon Edera

Our Story and  Philosophy

Salon Edera was founded to bring a boutique, high‑quality beauty experience to the heart of Encinitas’ Old Leucadia neighborhood. From the beginning, our vision has centered on combining elegance and expertise in an intimate setting where each client receives tailored attention. Rather than scaling to a large operation, we chose to maintain a curated space with a small roster of highly trained stylists and technicians. This model ensures continuity of care and personalized service unmatched by larger salons.

Our philosophy rests on three pillars: craftsmanship, care, and connection. We use top‑tier professional products and continuously update our techniques, all while honoring timeless standards of service and attention. Above all, we build genuine relationships with clients—understanding each individual’s aesthetic history and goals so every visit deepens trust and satisfaction.

Meet Our  Team

At Salon Edera, our greatest asset is our people. Every team member is selected for both skill and character, embodying our values of excellence and client-first service.

Lida – Owner & Lead Stylist

With years of industry experience, Lida leads the salon with precision and creativity. Her clients describe her color work as transformative and her consultations as deeply consultative. For example, Natalie S. wrote that “Lida is an absolute genius with hair!... she asked me questions to clarify and gave me exactly what I envisioned." Barbara D. shared that Lida’s suggestion of blonde highlights was exactly what she needed to feel confident again. And Wendi G. praised how Lida “really takes the time to understand what you want and gets it right every time”

Support Stylists & Nail Technicians

Our supporting team is equally committed to Salon Edera’s mission. Technicians are trained in the latest manicuring techniques, brow tinting, waxing methodology, and bridal styling. Every professional brings warmth, patience, and attention to detail, ensuring consistency across every visit.
