  • Cuts
    All dry cuts are priced at a fixed rate per stylist, ranging from $55–$125. Individual pricing is listed on each stylist’s profile and on Vagaro, our online booking site.

    Color
    Color pricing varies based on several factors, including the stylist’s level of experience. Every color service is fully customized, as each guest’s hair is unique. Factors such as hair history, health, texture, porosity, density, desired result, time required and amount of product used all influence the final price. We are able to provide rough estimates through Vagaro. For an exact price, please speak with your stylist during your consultation.

    Returns
    All product and service sales are final. Payment is due at the completion of your service. We do not issue monetary refunds for completed services or returned products. If your service is not up to your expectations, we will do everything we can to make adjustments. Please notify us within three days of your appointment if there is an issue with your service so we can address it promptly.


  • Please cancel with courtesy! Cancellations made within 48 hours of your appointment will incur a 50% service fee. Cancellations within 24 hours will incur a 100% service fee. Our policy applies to clients who arrive 15 minutes late, as it does not allow adequate time for your stylist and will be considered a no-show.

    A credit card on file is required for all services.

why dry cut?

You don’t wear your hair wet, so we cut it dry.
Dry cutting allows our stylists to see how your hair naturally moves and falls, resulting in more precise shaping, balanced layers, and a customized finish.

In addition to dry cutting, we specialize in all aspects of color—from blonding and balayage to corrective color, ombré, lived-in looks, reds, brunettes, vivid shades, and platinum blondes.

We proudly use AVEDA color, a 97% naturally derived formula made with essential oils and plant-based ingredients. It’s gentler, less toxic, and better for both your hair and the environment—without compromising performance or results.
