What we do
Color consultations
01A sit-down before the color starts, so the shade you leave with is the shade you asked for — no surprises under different light.
Cuts & styling
02Shaped to how your hair actually falls, not just how it looks fresh out of the chair.
Color & highlights
03Single-process color and dimensional highlights, formulated to your natural base and checked against it before you leave.
Balayage
04Hand-painted highlights placed for a soft grow-out, so the line between salon visits stays soft instead of sharp.
Keratin & smoothing
05A smoothing treatment for frizz and lift, done in stages so the result reads soft, not flat.
Blowouts
06A finished, styled blowout for a night out or just a Tuesday that needs one.
Not sure what to ask for? Call — we’ll talk it through.
Call to bookConsult before color
No color goes on before a sit-down conversation about what you want and what your hair can take.
Your formula, kept on file
What worked for your color and cut is recorded so the next visit starts from what's known, not guessed.
Checked before you leave
Every cut and color is reviewed in the mirror with you before you're finished, not after you're home.
A room built to keep color honest
Bristle Salon sits on light wood floors under clean mirror panels, the kind of room where nothing distracts from the work in the chair. A consultation happens before any color touches your hair, so what you ask for is what you leave with — and what you leave with is written down for the next visit. Cuts are built to still fall right as they grow out, not just for the walk to the car. Every chair here works from the same standard: a result you can check in the mirror before you go.

good to know
- How do I know the color will turn out the way I picture it?
- That's what the consultation is for. We talk through the shade, test it against your natural base, and check it in real light before you leave — so you're not finding out at home whether it matches what you asked for.
- Can I request a specific stylist?
- Yes — if you've worked with a stylist here before or one is recommended to you, ask for them by name when you book. We'll do our best to get you in their chair.
- How soon can I get an appointment?
- Call or book and we'll walk you through the current schedule. Because each stylist works with one client at a time, booking ahead is the surest way to get the day and stylist you want.
