The salon sits on South Avenue in Garwood and is open Tuesday through Saturday, with hours that differ by day. It is run by owner Jess Gray, who founded it in 2021, and it works with a team of stylists across price levels 1 to 5. Individual stylists keep their own schedules within salon hours, and not every level is on staff or available on every day.

About

The salon says its stylists have extensive training in color, cutting, styling and extensions. Color and extension appointments begin with a 15-minute complimentary consultation, and color correction requires a consultation before it is booked. Extension work is priced by the hour, and extension hair is paid for in full when it is ordered.

Blonding is priced by foil count in four tiers, from a mini service of up to 15 foils to a maximum service of 45 or more. Each tier includes a glaze and a blowdry. Add-ons such as face frame highlights, lowlights, a Malibu treatment and deep conditioning can be added to full-priced chemical services like single process, blonding and keratin.

Texture services use La Brasiliana keratin treatments exclusively, including express and full keratin options. Make-up services range from eyes only to a full face with or without lashes, and include bridal make-up and a make-up trial. Updos and special occasion styling are also offered, and a $3.00 amenities fee is added to every appointment total.

The salon presents its work as education-driven and describes its policies as progressive and designed for modern clients. It states that its services aim for high quality through a commitment to industry education.
