About

The River Studios opened in the fall of 2024 and is run by its founder, Alexis, who works as both the hairstylist and the nail artist. The studio is a private space inside a collaborative art space on South Broadway, and it describes its services as high-end.

The menu covers haircuts and blowouts, all-over and dimensional color, custom color, hair extensions, head spa rituals, LED and red light therapy sessions, and gel nail sets and manicures. The studio's approach is rooted in self-care and artistry, with services personalized to each client. Haircut prices depend on hair length rather than texture, and cuts are done on dry hair, so clients are asked to arrive with clean, dry hair. Extra-long or extra-thick hair may carry a small upcharge, which is discussed before the cut begins.

Hair extensions are a major part of the studio's work. A required consultation is needed for new clients before any extension service. Extensions are offered in tape-in, hand-tied weft, keratin bond or K-tip, and I-tip methods, using Babe Hair, which clients purchase separately. Hand-tied wefts need move-ups every six to eight weeks. Clients with extensions should book the extensions version of the shampoo and blowout so there is enough time allowed.

Tea is included in most head spa and light therapy services. Light therapy visits let clients choose a heated or cooling eye mask, and an optional tarot card pull can be added. Booking is done online through the studio's booking site. The studio is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and closed Monday and Tuesday.

The studio's approach blends self-care with artistry, and each service is shaped to the individual client.

The studio sits inside a collaborative art space on South Broadway.
