Our services & specialties include…

Blonde highlights

Enhance your look with our blonde expertise—custom foils, balayage, or lived-in tones using vegan products. Beautiful, low-maintenance results every time.

Natural gray blending

Soft, seamless color that enhances your natural gray instead of hiding it. Gentle vegan formulas keep the finish modern, dimensional, and low-maintenance.

Creative & classic haircuts

From sleek precision cuts to effortless layers, we tailor each style to your face shape and lifestyle. Always cruelty-free, always on-trend.

Balayage

Hand-painted highlights for a sun-kissed, effortless glow. Customized placement and vegan color create natural dimension that grows out beautifully.

Gray coverage

Seamless, natural-looking color that blends or fully covers grays. Nourishing vegan formulas keep your hair healthy and vibrant.

Lived in color

Dimensional tones designed to look fresh from day one and flawless as they grow. Low-maintenance, modern color that feels natural and uniquely you.

Styling for any occasion

Polished blowouts, waves, or updos for events, nights out, or just because. Long-lasting hold with clean, eco-conscious products.

Color correction

From box dye mishaps to uneven tones, we restore balance and vibrancy with expert techniques and vegan products—giving you healthy, beautiful color again.

Hourly pricing

A simple, transparent way to book that’s based on time rather than individual services. Your rate covers whatever’s needed to achieve your desired look that day—extra color, toners, deep-conditioning treatments, even a haircut—without surprise add-ons or multiple appointments.

It’s a streamlined, all-inclusive approach designed to give you beautiful results and a clear price from the start.

  • If a service takes longer than the original quoted time for your service, you will be charged for your quoted amount of time in the salon. If your service is completed 15-30 minutes earlier than your quoted service time, we can use this time to fine tune your finished style, and even dust your ends, but you will still be charged for the original quoted time.

  • In the event that this happens, your stylist will have already contacted the appointment after you to ensure you’re getting your full amount of time in the chair.

  • Tipping is considered the pay you get based on your performance. Stylists are artists, our clients are commissioning us for our time and our art.
    We want to change the way we are viewed as hairdressers and remove the confusion on what is an “acceptable” tip.
    By including the tip in our services, our hope is to change the way you look at getting your hair done. It also allows us to be as transparent with you as possible.
