A Shade Maker is a studio in Fredericksburg, Virginia, that describes itself as a lively, stylist-led place to get hair done. Every visit is by appointment, and the studio is open Tuesday through Saturday with shorter hours on Wednesday and Saturday.
The consultation is 30 minutes and free, and new clients are asked to book it before their first service or book it together with the service they plan to have.
The studio's color menu is organized around foil highlights in several sizes (pixie, mini, partial and full), root retouches, all-over color and blonde retouches done on the scalp only. Many foil services can be booked with a haircut included. Foil services include a strengthening treatment and a blow dry, while gloss is an extra step.
Beyond color, the studio offers standalone blow dries, a scalp and hair treatment with blow dry, heat styling and a women's haircut that includes a shampoo and blow dry. It also offers a children's cut for ages 12 and under and a quick bang trim.
The studio says it keeps up with current trends while relying on methods that have stood the test of time to keep hair healthy and easy to manage. It also says it chooses its products and techniques carefully so that results hold up between visits. Products include the Innersense Organic Beauty line.
Practical details: the studio offers free parking in its lot, Wi-Fi, complimentary drinks and snacks, and is listed as kid friendly and dog friendly. It is not listed as wheelchair accessible. The studio accepts major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo and cash. A wait list is kept, and open times from cancellations are offered to wait-listed guests. Late cancellations made after the 24-hour mark incur a 50% fee, and a no-call, no-show incurs a 75% fee. Clients are asked to contact the studio as early as possible if they need to move an appointment. The A Little Thank You rewards program gives one point for every dollar spent. Gift certificates never expire, can be bought in set amounts from $25 to $100 or a custom amount from $10 to $1,000, and come in several designs. Gift certificate sales are final and cannot be exchanged for cash.
Each visit starts with a consultation to discuss the client's goals, and the studio pairs current trends with established techniques and carefully chosen products so results last between visits.
The studio is set up to feel welcoming and easygoing, with complimentary drinks and snacks.
