The salon has been serving Wellesley since 1963 and sits on Washington Street between European Manor and Old School Pizza. A public parking lot next to Cameron Street is about half a block away.
Services are grouped into color, general hair work, highlights, extensions, and waxing. Color ranges from color alone to bundles that pair color with a cut or styling. Foil highlights run from individual streaks and a highlight cap up to full head. Hair services include shampoo, men's and women's haircuts, blow dries, roller sets, permanent waves, a Brazilian Blowout, and up dos for long hair, which are quoted after a consultation with a stylist.
The salon's featured product is its plant-based hair color. According to the salon, it is 100 percent vegan, uses minimal ingredients, lasts through 20 shampoos, and gives 80 percent more shine.
Appointments are booked by phone. The salon is open Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday, with evening hours on Wednesday and Thursday until 9 p.m. It accepts all forms of payment. One reviewer says its prices are about half what competitors charge, a claim attributed to that reviewer.
A relaxed, unfussy house style built around a plant-based color line.
Reviewers describe the salon as laid back and less formal than some downtown Wellesley salons.
