Services
Haircuts
Our precision haircuts utilize professional razors and dry-finishing techniques to create customized styles. Stylists maintain current trend knowledge while adapting cuts to individual face shapes and hair textures. Clients receive personalized recommendations during 15-30 minute sessions focused on achieving low-maintenance, growth-friendly styles.
Hair Coloring
We offer full-spectrum hair coloring services including permanent dyes, semi-permanent treatments, and specialty techniques. Our colorists perform strand tests to ensure optimal results while maintaining hair health. Services range from root touch-ups to complete color transformations using ammonia-free options when requested.
Hair Extensions
Our studio provides multiple extension methods including synthetic dreadlocks, fusion bonds, and tape-in systems. Each application begins with a consultation to determine weight capacity and styling compatibility. Feather extensions offer temporary enhancement options with minimal hair stress during removal.
Keratin Treatments
Professional keratin treatments reduce frizz and improve hair manageability through formaldehyde-free formulas. The multi-step process involves application, heat activation, and post-treatment care guidance. Results typically last 2-4 months with proper maintenance.
Special Occasion Makeup
Our makeup artists create long-lasting looks for weddings, portraits, and special events. Services include airbrush makeup, false lash application, and touch-up kits. Trial sessions ensure satisfaction before event days, with group rates available for bridal parties.
