What we do

A full-service salon — hair, nails, and skin — under one roof, by one pair of hands that have been doing this since the nineties.

01

Color

Single process, highlights, gray coverage, and correction. Matched to your skin, your grow-out, and how much upkeep you actually want.

02

Cut & Style

Cuts for women and men, blowouts, and styling for weddings and events. Shaped to how you wear it on an ordinary Tuesday.

03

Smoothing

Keratin smoothing and straightening treatments to take the frizz and the fight out of your morning.

04

Manicures

Classic, French, and spa manicures — unhurried, and done properly.

05

Pedicures

Spa pedicures with the soak, the work, and the finish. The appointment people book for themselves.

06

Waxing & Makeup

Full body waxing, brows, and makeup application for events and photographs.

A neighborhood salon,
in the real sense

Mara has been doing hair for twenty-five years, and doing it on the North Shore for twenty of them.

That length of time changes what a salon is. Clients arrive already known — their color formula, their cowlick, the wedding coming up in June, the daughter who now comes in too. Nobody is handed off to whoever is free. There is no upsell script. You sit in the chair and it gets done right, the way it was done last time.

It is a small shop on Vernon Avenue, and that is deliberate. The work is unhurried because only one appointment is ever happening at once.
