About

Studio Haven was founded by Kat Alvarez, a master hairstylist with more than 14 years of experience. The studio describes itself as a boutique hair salon in Santa Monica and presents itself as a private, one-on-one space where appointments are unhurried and calm, set up as a retreat from the pace of Los Angeles life.

Custom weft hair extensions are the studio's main focus. Every extension service starts with a detailed consultation that looks at hair texture, density, lifestyle and goals. Plans aim for placement that is hard to detect, a lightweight feel, color matched to the client, and upkeep that is simple. Extensions are kept up with regular maintenance appointments, and clients receive home care guidance. Pricing varies with hair density, length and customization, and extension services are available by consultation only.

Beyond extensions, the studio offers color, including low-maintenance dimensional color and highly customized color corrections, which usually begin with a consultation. Haircuts, barbering, blowdries and heat styling as an add-on round out the menu. Consultations are recommended for new guests, major changes, color corrections, extensions, and anyone unsure what to book. Returning guests are asked to book based on their most recent service.

Appointments are booked online. Cancellations and reschedules need advance notice, and the full policy is included in the booking confirmation. Messages may take up to one to two business days to receive a reply. Clients may be photographed or recorded for portfolio or social media content, and they can opt out when they arrive.

The studio puts hair health and realistic planning first, and tailors each extension service to the individual client. It also says it builds a community of stylists who keep learning and refining their technique.

A private, calm studio with one-on-one appointments paced without rush.
