A studio for slow beauty
A calm studio on Rosewood Avenue where every appointment opens with a proper consultation - and never runs on a conveyor belt.
Our studio
We kept one rule when we opened: nobody gets rushed. Appointments are booked with real time in them, so your stylist can look properly, ask properly, and work at the pace the hair or the skin needs.
That is the whole idea. No upselling scripts, no mystery pricing, no leaving with a look you did not ask for.

What we do
Seven core services, each with consultation time built into the booking - so the plan is agreed before anything starts.

Why us
The small things that decide whether a salon is worth the drive.
Fifteen minutes before scissors or colour touch you. We look, we ask, we agree the plan. New guests get longer.
Low-scent, cruelty-free lines chosen for sensitive scalps and reactive skin. Nothing on the shelf we cannot explain.
You hear the number before we begin, including any add-ons. No surprise total at the till, ever.
If we are running behind, you get a text before you leave the house. Your afternoon matters to us too.
The visit
Four steps, every time, whether you are here for a fringe trim or a full colour correction.
We look at your hair or skin dry and unstyled, talk through history, budget and upkeep, and agree exactly what is happening today.
Your stylist maps the work - placement, tone, shape, timing - and confirms the full price before anything starts.
The part you came for, at the pace the work deserves. Tea, quiet, and a chair that actually reclines.
You leave knowing how to repeat it: the two products that matter, the wash routine, and when to come back.
Investment
Everything on one page. Starting prices, quoted in full before we begin.
Recent work
Colour, cuts, nails and skin from the last few months. All done in the studio, all on real guests.

Read onBefore you visit
The things guests ask us most often, answered plainly.
Still wondering something? Send us a note.
For a first colour visit, a change of more than two levels, or any correction work - yes, and it is free. It takes fifteen minutes, and it is the difference between a plan and a gamble. Book it on its own or ask us to add it to your appointment.
Two weeks for cuts and skin, three to four weeks for colour, lashes and nails, and as early as you can for weddings - most Saturdays in June are taken by January.
Twenty-four hours notice, no charge, no hard feelings. Inside twenty-four hours we ask for fifty percent of the booked service, because that chair was held for you. Emergencies are always handled like emergencies.
Always, for tint, lash adhesive and lamination - forty-eight hours before your appointment, and it takes two minutes. If you have not had one with us in the last six months, we will book you in for one.
Usually, and honestly. Correction is charged by time and product, so we quote it after seeing your hair in person. Sometimes the right answer is three sessions rather than one - we will tell you plainly which it is.
The back lot is ours from 8am, and street parking on Rosewood is free after 5pm. There is a step-free entrance on the north side of the building.
When we can. Fringe trims, gel removals and brow shapes often fit in the same day - call ahead and we will tell you honestly whether there is room.
Low-scent, cruelty-free professional lines chosen for sensitive scalps and reactive skin. We will happily show you every bottle and explain why it is on the shelf - and we never push retail at the till.
Appointments
Send the request below and we will confirm a time that works. If you are not sure which service you need, leave it blank and describe what you are after - we will point you the right way.
New guests: please allow an extra fifteen minutes for consultation on your first visit.
