About

The Artist's Loft works out of a creative studio rather than a conventional, polished salon. It describes itself as gender affirming, disability aware and sensory friendly, and it holds a Sensory Safe Solutions certification. The business says it is women and veteran owned, and that its mission is to lift people up through haircuts, kind words and acts of service. It runs community programs, hosts events, and occasionally shows local art and pop-up events in the space.

New clients can book a free 30-minute in-person consultation to talk through goals, hair history, maintenance, budget and daily routine before any service begins. Appointments are strongly recommended and can be booked online at any hour; walk-ins are welcome when available but not guaranteed. Clients are asked to share allergies, sensitivities or accommodation requests when they inquire so products can be reviewed, and accommodations for sensory, communication or mobility needs can be requested before or during a visit. Clean hair is preferred, though hair one to two days old is fine, and comfortable clothing is advised because color can stain. Street parking is available, with a few reserved spots in front and a crosswalk for clients parking across the street. Hours are Wednesday and Thursday 10 to 8, Friday 10 to 6 and Saturday 9 to 4, with the salon closed Monday, Tuesday and Sunday.

Color correction for uneven or unwanted tones from earlier color, box dye or banding requires a consultation first, and its pricing is based on time. Hair extensions, including tape-ins, keratin bonds, weft sew-ins and clip-ins, also require a consultation. Good Ends Only is a split-end sealing treatment that covers a wash, treatment, blowdry and iron. The salon says 20 percent of every service supports its current charity partner. Some services are performed by independent artists who set and share their own pricing. Appointments canceled less than 24 hours ahead or missed are charged 50 percent of the service value to the card on file. Complimentary adjustments must be requested within one week, are handled by the original stylist or owner, and do not include a blowdry. Refunds are not offered on completed services.

Bridal work covers Haverhill, the North Shore, Greater Boston and southern New Hampshire, and the salon says it has also traveled to Vermont, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island and New York. Bridal rates apply within one hour of the Haverhill studio with no travel fee. Beyond that, travel costs a $60 base fee plus $1 per minute, measured from the client's getting-ready location, and trips over two hours one way require overnight lodging. Parking, valet, tolls and lodging are the client's responsibility. A wedding date is held only after a signed contract and a 20 percent non-refundable retainer. Payment is accepted by major credit cards, Venmo and CashApp, and gratuities are not added to the bill. The salon describes more than a decade of professional bridal hair and makeup experience and says its bridal process is calm, guided and planned around real timelines.

The salon describes its method as personalized artistry and honest guidance, built for everyday life rather than an idealized finish, with designs meant for every hair texture, skin tone and personal style.

A creative studio setting rather than a traditional polished salon.
