About

Pure Hair Design was started in 2003 by Apryl Picnia and Jenny Kisiel as a space where stylists could run their own businesses. The salon works on a booth rental model: each stylist is an independent business owner who manages their own schedule, bookings and clients within the shared salon.

Prices are set by hair length, texture and the look wanted rather than by gender, and the salon says pricing reflects how difficult the hair is to work on. Color services that need more planning, including corrective color and fantasy color, require a consultation before booking, and a complimentary consultation is available to talk through a desired look. Combined services can be requested online, after which a stylist may reach out for more details.

The salon is in the South End, close to the Orange Line at Tufts and the Red Line at Broadway, and has metered street parking and visitor spots along with nearby lots within a few blocks.

Each stylist runs their own business and schedule within the shared salon, and services are priced around each client's hair and goals.
