About

The business was established in Birmingham in 1972. According to the studio, David Hockney opened it on Grant Street. Natalia Castro later took over ownership, and the studio describes her as a long-standing protégé of the founder. The business calls itself a studio rather than a salon.

Visits take place in two rooms that the studio describes as bright and intimate, with no music playing during appointments. Water, tea, pop and coffee are offered free of charge. Every service begins with a 15-minute consultation, which is included. Clients may bring reference images to their appointment, including screenshots and online photos. No deposit is required to book, and a card is kept on file to hold the time without being charged early. Appointments can be rescheduled at no charge up to 24 hours before.

Color starts at $35 for semi-permanent and $85 for single process, which is calibrated to the client's tone. Highlights and lowlights are priced from $120 for partial and from $220 for full, and corrective color is priced after consultation. Color sessions run 1 to 2.5 hours including consultation, and tone typically holds 8 to 14 weeks. A patch test is done in the chair when needed.

Women's cuts are designed with scissor and razor and finished to the client's face shape, starting at $75. Men's cuts are tailored and refined, starting at $55. Children's cuts are offered for ages 1 to 14, starting at $25, with pricing set by age. Blowouts come in a standard and a luxury finish, from $45 and $70. Updo and special occasion styling is offered for weddings, galas and photo shoots, priced by consultation. Those sessions take 30 to 75 minutes and should be booked 4 to 6 weeks ahead. Bridal and event trials are available, recommended 4 to 6 weeks before the event.

Treatments include Smooth, Keratin, Rejuvenol Brazilian and Color Shine Mask, which starts at $25. Treatments are priced by consultation and take 1.5 to 3 hours including consultation, with results lasting 3 to 5 months. Aftercare includes waiting 48 hours before washing and using a sulfate-free shampoo. Treatment after corrective color waits 7 to 14 days.

The studio works in four steps: listen during a consultation, shape with a plan, finish with styling and a photo for the client's record, then hold with care notes and a 7-day adjustment. Color is built up through each lift with bond-building and finished with a gloss.

Two bright, intimate rooms with no music playing during visits.
