Studio 55 Hair Salon

Studio 55 is located at 2460 West State Road 434 in Longwood. Its seven chairs are each used by an independent professional: a stylist, a manicurist or an esthetician. Each one keeps their own book, sets their own menu and pricing, and answers their own phone. The salon says it is not a chain and does not run like one. Clients can book directly with the person they want, or call the salon line at (407) 543-3421 to be directed.

The salon is appointment-only and does not take walk-ins. It keeps the number of guests in the room at one time low, and the space itself is small, with warm plaster and brick walls and low lighting. Hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Wednesday from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the salon closed on Sundays and Mondays. Individual professionals may keep their own hours around these, so it is worth checking when booking. Email is info@studio55fl.com.

According to the salon, its longest chair tenure is 30 years. Hair services include precision cuts and finished styling for men and women, custom color and highlights, correction of work done elsewhere, extensions, keratin smoothing and perms, and up-dos for weddings and special occasions. Nail services and facials are also offered, with facials performed by a Certified Medical Esthetician.

Each professional runs their own book, menu and phone, so clients work directly with the specific person they choose. The salon keeps guest numbers low so each room stays calm and manageable.
