Hyde West Studio

The studio describes its aim as becoming a leading center for hair, beauty and style in the city, and says its work rests on continuing education and a readiness to challenge standard practice in the field.

The studio says it steers clear of services a client doesn't need and of products that don't perform well. It describes quality and craft as central to the work, and says the team goes beyond the expected for each client.

The team describes itself as collaborative, with success shared among everyone on staff. It says stylists are encouraged to keep improving through continuing education and development opportunities.

The studio works through continuing education and by questioning industry norms, and says it recommends only the services and products a client needs.
