About

Catalyst Hair Studio started in a private salon suite set up for one-on-one client care, with a single stylist. Sarah Flory owns the studio, and it was founded with her as its only stylist.

The studio aims to be a welcoming space where clients can express themselves through their hair. Its stated vision is a salon built on trust, growth, and community, and it says it plans to run community give-back programs as it grows.

Clients usually begin with the free online consultation, where they describe their ideal hair and their current hair; photos are optional. Appointments are booked and paid through the scheduling partner Vagaro, and the studio prefers text for contact. Services are personalized to the client's hair, and the stylists explain how to style and maintain results at home. Every haircut includes a wash and blow-dry, and haircut prices are based on hair length rather than gender.

The studio combines hands-on styling with science-backed techniques and advice aimed at keeping hair healthy and strong. Its services span color, including grey coverage, highlights, and single process color, along with permanent waves, Brazilian Blowout keratin treatments, and deep conditioning masques.

Pairs creative styling with research-backed techniques, with an emphasis on keeping hair healthy and strong.

A private salon suite designed for one-on-one attention.
