Meet the Owners

A pregnant woman and a man standing together in front of a reception counter at a salon called 'pure,' with the woman in a black dress and the man in a plaid shirt. The woman has her hand on her belly and both are smiling. The background features a modern salon interior with plants and soft lighting.
Hello!

At Pure Blowout & Color Bar, we’re more than just the owners, we’re a husband-and-wife team with a shared love for people, beauty, and creating spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and elevated.

We’re Stephen and Courtney Torres, and together we took over Pure with the goal of giving this already-loved salon the care, energy, and fresh vision it deserved. As salon owners, parents, and partners in life, we know how much the little details matter. From the way you’re greeted when you walk in, to the products we choose, to the feeling you have when you leave, we want every part of your experience to feel intentional.


Our Story

Pure has been a loved part of the Encinitas community for years, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to carry that legacy forward. Since taking over, our focus has been on refreshing the space, elevating the experience, and creating a salon that feels clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully cared for.
