PORTLAND, ME LUXURY HAIR SALON

Blending artistry and science-backed products to create everything from balayage to precision cuts to personalized hair care solutions.

We work exclusively with products that meet European Union cosmetic safety standards, including Innersense, Davines, and Arete. Our focus is on formulations that support scalp health, long-term hair integrity, and care for those experiencing hair loss or sensitivity, and hair of all textures.

As a certified Green Circle Salon, we’re intentional in caring for the planet. All hair is composted, and every piece of post-service material — from foils to gloves to color tubes — is responsibly recycled through our waste diversion partners.

MEET OUR TEAM

Step into our serene space, where every appointment is an opportunity to refresh and renew. At our salon, we delight in creating personalized experiences that make you feel right at home.

WHERE TO FIND US

We’re tucked inside a quiet old building in Portland’s historic district — surrounded by antiques, ferns, soft light, and good conversation.

OUR SPACE

We’ve designed the space to feel timeless, with antiques sourced from all over New England. Our stations were created to offer a sense of calm and privacy — some built from salvaged 1830s doors framed by curtains, others set in front of framed acoustic paneling to soften noise.

Two salon styling stations with large mirrors framed in gold, blue patterned wallpaper, green salon chairs, and wooden cabinetry, with hanging light fixtures and a window in the background.

Our artwork on the walls reflects the same principles we follow behind the chair. Hairdressing is an art form, and we wanted the space to echo that.

We’re intentional about everything we use — not just for performance, but for your health, the environment, and the long-term integrity of your hair.
