About
Hi, I'm Elise.
I've spent fifteen years learning that good hair is mostly good listening — then very careful hands.

The studio is deliberately small: one chair, one client, no overlapping appointments. That means your colour processes on your timeline and nobody is left under a dryer while I run to another station.
Most first visits start with a fifteen-minute consultation — your routine, your growth pattern, how much heat you actually use — and end with a cut you can rough-dry yourself. I specialise in dry cutting, curl shaping and colour that looks intentional four months later.
