Local Style Spotlight: Kyra Johnson of Blue Marble Spa

We are lucky to live in a city like San Diego that is home to so many unique spas and salons.

These serene refuges help us locals remain healthy and beautiful year-round. San Diego spa-goers know Blue Marble in Mission Bay for its eco-conscious take on well-being, but they may not know the woman behind the brand.

Kyra Johnson appreciates a true fine dining experience, is inspired by Gwenyth Paltrow’s feminine and sophisticated look, and can be found shopping for herself at Hermes and her husband at Burberry. But mostly we love Kyra because she understands the importance of a well fit suit on a San Diego man.

Get to know Kyra in this week’s Local Style Spotlight.
