About

æffect hair is on the basement level of a red brick building in Hannibal Square, Winter Park. The salon describes itself as eco-friendly and inclusive, with one-on-one attention and stylists who put education first. Street parking is available on W. New England Ave and the side streets, and a free parking garage sits on W. New England Ave between E. Hannibal Square and S. Pennsylvania Ave.

Services are priced by the hour rather than from a fixed menu, so the cost is known before the visit. Cuts and color start at $90 per hour and extensions start at $200 per hour, and the rate varies by stylist and by how much time a service takes. According to the salon, pricing is set so each team member earns a livable wage, which means tipping is not needed.

New guests begin with a free New Guest Color and Extension Consultation, which is required before a first color appointment. The free 15-minute color consultation includes a patch test and a conversation about goals. Haircut visits open with a consultation, then a Davines shampoo and conditioning treatment with scalp massage, a precision cut and a complimentary blow dry. Haircut consultations are sized to length: short cuts take about an hour, medium cuts about 1.5 hours and long cuts about 1.75 hours. Curly cuts take about two hours and include diffusion and a detox treatment when needed. Clipper and close-cropped barbering is priced by time. Bookings are held for 24 hours until forms are completed, and a credit card on file is required for new and returning guests.

The salon runs education for stylists, offered virtually, at a host salon or at æffect hair. Advanced cutting, color and styling classes are taught by nationally and internationally recognized educators. Haircutting courses cover foundations, the bob, layers, short cuts, fringe, seasonal trends and custom classes. Color courses cover color theory and science, corrective color problem solving and balayage breakdown, and styling courses include braiding. The Confidently Cutting: Bob class is a four-hour hands-on cutting class priced from $75. Hair models are sought for classes and training, with discounted services offered in exchange for flexible timing.

The space is set up with sustainability in mind, using sustainable beauty products, LED lighting, low-VOC paint, air-purifying plants, natural cleaning products and up-cycled furniture. Salon waste is recycled through a partnership with Green Circle Salons, and the business is certified as a Green Business by the City of Winter Park and Keep Winter Park Beautiful. It partnered with 1% for the Planet in 2022 and, according to the salon, buys carbon credits to offset its CO2 emissions and produces its products in green facilities. The salon also works with local small businesses for beverages, food, banking and events, and with local non-profit groups each quarter.

Pricing by the hour, shared education and an emphasis on eco-friendly practices shape how the salon works with guests and its own team.
