Balayage Coloring
Our balayage specialists create natural-looking dimension through freehand painting techniques. Using ammonia-free formulas, we customize color transitions to complement your features while maintaining hair health through keratin-infused treatments.
Microdermabrasion Facial
This non-invasive exfoliation treatment removes dead skin cells while stimulating collagen production. Annabelle Sparling, our licensed esthetician, combines microdermabrasion with personalized skincare analysis to address specific concerns like texture irregularities and pore size.
Bridal Hair
From trials to venue services, our master stylists create lasting wedding day hairstyles. We offer customized consultations to ensure styles match each bride's vision, with options for on-site or off-site appointments requiring advance booking.
Keratin Treatments
Cezanne-certified stylists apply formaldehyde-free smoothing solutions that reduce frizz for up to five months. The treatment includes heat activation to seal keratin proteins into the hair shaft, with immediate styling benefits and reduced drying time.
Natural Nail Care
Annabelle offers builder gel applications and traditional manicures using non-toxic polishes. Services focus on nail bed health through cuticle care and strengthening treatments, with options for both classic and modern nail aesthetics.
