About

The business describes itself as a private luxury hair house and serves women who value intentionality, professionalism and careful, personal attention. Each appointment is planned around the long-term health of the client's hair and begins with a personalized consultation and professional recommendations.

Appointments are unhurried and limited to one guest at a time. The studio's signature approach, called The Shantel Tatayana Effect, centers on precision, personalization and presence. Availability is limited, and new clients are accepted selectively, so some services require a consultation before booking.

Everyday care is handled through The Maison Edit, which covers keeping a signature look, color or routine in a private setting. The Crown Edit is styling for pageant contestants, titleholders and women preparing for competitions from local to international level; it begins with a consultation on the competition calendar, divisions, wardrobe and overall vision, and includes styling for competition weekend and ongoing guidance for returning contestants. Pageant pricing is set by the competition schedule, styling needs, travel and number of appearances, and no fixed prices are listed.

Bridal hair is the focus of The Heirloom Edit, which begins with a discovery consultation, moves to a bridal preview trial and ends with styling on the wedding day. Inquiries made through Crown and Heirloom don't hold a date, and a non-refundable retainer may be required to secure a booking. Hair extensions are provided by The Private Edit by ST, and a consultation is required before booking.

Practical policies: cancellations or reschedules need at least 48 hours' notice, with a fee possible for later changes. Late arrivals may be shortened or rescheduled. Clients are asked to arrive with clean, detangled hair unless told otherwise.

Each visit is tailored to protect the hair's long-term health, combining precision, time without rushing and attentive focus on the client.
