About

Hex Appeal Hair Studio is a small hair studio in Andersonville, operated by its owner Kelsey, who also cuts and colors hair. The studio describes itself as queer and trans owned and as a safe space for queer and trans clients. The space has signature pink chairs.

New clients book by appointment only, and a free consultation is offered. For color correction, which starts at $250 and depends on the end goal, the studio recommends an initial consultation because the work may take several stages.

The service menu is grouped into haircuts, color services and extras. Prices are labeled by hair length rather than by gender. Haircuts range from clipper cuts and clipper cleanups to longer or textured cuts, and color ranges from accent highlights and fashion color to full foil or balayage and bleach and tone work.

A membership program is available as a monthly subscription. It includes mid-cycle touch-ups, bang trims and discounts on hair products, which are described as cruelty free and priced up to $10 less than online. Returns and refunds are not offered unless a product arrives completely defective or broken; those issues are handled by email.

The studio describes its hair care as vegan-friendly and designs cuts and color so they are easy to replicate as hair grows out.

The studio is known for its signature pink chairs.
