About

The name Umwelt refers to an environmental world: the idea that living things share one world but each perceives it differently. The salon builds on that idea by aiming to respect each client's sense of beauty, outlook and environment in their hair and lifestyle. Its stylists have experience working in both Japan and the United States.

The menu covers cuts for men, women and children ages 10 and under, along with full color, root retouches, custom color, highlights, lowlights and mixed color. Cut pricing depends on hair length and density, and color booked without a cut carries a separate shampoo and styling fee.

Perms and straightening are a large part of the menu. Air Wave perms suit color-treated, soft, medium to long hair, digital perms suit coarse, thick hair, and Japanese straightening includes a cut. The salon says its perms use a nano-ion steam method to reduce damage.

According to the salon, its luxury treatment is the most popular item on the menu. It is a five-step service suited to medium to high-damage hair and includes home care. Reservations are taken online only except in special cases, and the last booking time varies by menu.

Stylists consult with each client before any service, and cuts combine wet and dry techniques to create dimensional shapes.

The interior and small furnishings were chosen to create a calm, relaxed space.
