About

Arous founded the studio together with its Drycut Academy, and the two operate under one roof on Main Street. After a 2017 fire took one of the founder's businesses, the studio and academy were rebuilt together in the same space.

The studio describes itself as a studio rather than a salon, and describes its craft as both art and science. Its signature is dry cutting, which is shaped to each client's hair texture and face shape and adjusted at every visit, with a complimentary consultation included. The method page says dry cuts hold their shape for weeks longer than wet cuts, and that fewer than one percent of stylists can carry out the method as practiced there.

Color is mixed with ultra-low ammonia starting at 0.2 percent, designed for scalp comfort. According to the studio, more than 90 percent of its color ingredients are naturally derived from sustainable and renewable sources, and its color is said to give full coverage of white hair. Color includes anti-fade protection with UV filters, and custom blended shades are available.

Bridal work includes a complimentary consultation, styling trials, and styling for the bridal party, the rehearsal dinner and engagement photos. Client reviews describe the decor as artsy, serene and beautiful, mention a silk robe for appointments, and note complimentary wine or coffee. Clients travel from a distance, and the studio has a worldwide clientele.

Dry cuts are customized to each client's hair texture and face shape and refined at every visit. The studio describes its work as both art and science.
