INTENTIONALLY BUILT FOR THE STYLIST BY THE STYLIST.
We have always believed in a different kind of salon experience from the beginning. One rooted in teamwork, collaboration, and real connection. Our collective of beauty artists work side by side (owners included), sharing craft, ideas and growth. Every detail is thoughtfully curated for the stylists comfort as well as their guests. From our bright window light, lush green plants, spacious stations to our large break room and outdoor patio, our space is designed with you and your wellness in mind. Our amenities are curated to enhance your services so your guests feel like they are getting a premium experience that you can be proud of.
Teamwork is what truly makes our independent space different. We work together while being independent to keep our salon space looking and feeling it’s best. We value education and host education events often.
Our goals are always to keep elevating our craft and client experience. We believe in growing as individuals and as a salon which is why we also pride ourselves on having business mentorship for all of our renters including our suite owners. There is no competition here only collaboration.

I love the natural light, thriving plants and spacious layout that gives clients both breathing room and privacy. I also feel lucky to work alongside inclusive talented stylists who care deeply for their clients and welcome mine as their own"
