Wing & Blade Barber Co. Welcome to the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce Family.

"The W&B story began nearly 10 years ago on a wing and a prayer. After spending years learning & perfecting her trade, our founder, Vianna, found her barbering potential plateauing and knew a big leap was needed. Wing & Blade was born out of the desire to see the nostalgic craft of old school barbering enter back into the world of the modern day gentlemen."

Wing & Blade is located at 937 S Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA 92024

While you should stay away from venomous snakes, you are more likely to die from a lightning strike than from a snakebite. Of the 7,000 to 8,000 people in the United States bitten annually by venomous snakes approximately five die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

CUT COSTS ON YOUR SUMMER ENERGY BILL

Summer rates go into effect June 1 and when the weather heats up, your energy use will likely rise, too. Here are some helpful tips and tools to help you conserve energy this summer and become a power pro!

1. Shift your use: When possible, use large heat-generating appliances such as washers, dryers and dishwashers outside of the on-peak hours of 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. – when energy rates are the highest.

2. Get bill alerts: Energy Alerts are an easy way to monitor your energy use and bill before it arrives. Get weekly energy use alerts or customize your notifications for when your bill reaches a dollar amount that you set.

3. Keep your A/C fit: Check your air conditioner’s filter every 1-2 months. Dirty filters cause your system to work harder to keep you cool, wasting energy.



4. Block the heat and hot air: Weatherstrip and caulk drafty doors and windows to keep the cold air in and hot air out.
