About

Barb Hovsepian owns and runs the salon, which also houses The DEN barbershop and the POSH wardrobe and image consulting service. Before starting her own business, she built a career at Nordstrom in management, buying, merchandising, and wardrobe and image consulting, and she founded POSH and The DEN.

Hair services cover designer cuts, color, blowouts, styling and specialty up-dos, and off-site occasion work is quoted by consultation. Corrective and creative color is also priced by consultation.

Olea Head Spa treatments begin with a microscope analysis of the scalp. Sessions run from 45 to 90 minutes and cover scalp and skin rejuvenation, with styling and finishing included. Olea uses RevitaLash, Number 4, Innersense and GABRIEL products, and add-ons such as a full facial, hair mask or lash conditioner can be combined with a service.

The DEN is a modern take on the barbershop, pairing precision cuts with older-style services like straight razor and ProGlide shaves, scalp massages and hot towel wraps. Clients can wait with a personal flat screen TV.

Services at this salon include Hair Botox, repair treatments and creative colour, and the colour menu includes ammonia-free options. Vegan and gluten-free products are stocked too. The salon also carries ZUZU LUXE, a locally made line of natural mineral cosmetics that is described as gluten free, vegan and cruelty free.

Guided by a stated aim to help clients look and feel their best, with hair, color, barbering, scalp care and wardrobe consulting offered under one roof.

Set in the Chase Building, with a flat screen TV for waiting clients at The DEN.
