Services & prices
Prices are starting points — longer or thicker hair may run a little more, and we'll always tell you before we start, not after. Not sure what to book? Consultations are free.

Bridal & wedding parties
Getting married on the Peninsula? We do trials, day-of hair and makeup for the whole party, and we'll come to your venue for groups of four or more. Ask for the bridal guide when you book.
An hour that feels like a day off
We book real time for every appointment, so nobody's rushed out of the chair and nobody's stacked three-deep at the shampoo bowl. Coffee or tea while you process, a proper scalp massage at the basin, and a stylist whose attention is on your hair — not the ringing phone.
- Unhurried by design — appointments are booked with breathing room, on purpose.
- Products that survive the coast — we stock lines that hold up to salt air and wind, because we live here too.
- Coffee, tea, and quiet — or good conversation, if you're in the mood. Your call.
Book the right chair
Every stylist has a specialty. Pick the person whose work fits what you want — or tell us what you're after when you book and we'll match you.

From the chairs
"Booked online at 10 PM on a Sunday, got a text confirming Monday morning, and Mara fixed a box-dye disaster I was sure was hopeless. I drive up from Astoria now. Worth it every time."
"Sadie did hair for my whole wedding party at the cove — six of us, right on schedule, and my updo didn't move in the wind. The photos prove it. Book her early for summer weekends."
"I take both kids and myself to Leo — three cuts, one hour, zero meltdowns. The text reminders alone have saved me from two forgotten appointments. Small thing, big deal."
