Rebecca Peterson I had a lovely first appointment with Jessica Cowart. I get a pretty basic cut (basically I just get the ends of my long hair tapered). She was attentive to my pre-appointment notes and in-studio requests, and Im super happy with the cut she gave me! Plus she was very friendly and pleasant to chat with. Studio is small and whimsical, loved the atmosphere.

Heather Alarab I absolutely adore Rachel. She continues to do amazing work with my curls. Honestly, the only person I trust to cut and style my hair.

Risa M I absolutely adore Bev! My hair is ridiculously easy to fry, since its super fine and theres not much of it, but Bev can make it do just about anything I ask and it feels, looks, and smells amazing afterward - and if youve ever had a perm*, you know what a tall order that is!
Every time Ive had a specific request, be it a sea-witch ombre, an asymmetrical cut that doesnt make me look bald, or an undercut with a perm on top, she nails it with style (pun intended!). On days where Im not sure exactly what Im after, she helps me figure it out. I trust her enough at this point that Ive had days where Ive come in and just told her to have fun, and I always come out with something incredible. (Granted, Ive known her for over a decade, so she knows what I like and our ideas about hair correlate really well, so YMMV - I wouldnt recommend doing this with ANYBODY the first time they style your hair!) At this point no one else is allowed to touch my hair - or my boyfriends, or my daughters, for that matter. Bevs got it dialed in, and I dont trust anybody like I trust her.
Orange itself is a cute little shop with 3 stations and fun faux brick wallpaper, easily found and with pretty decent street parking. (Pro tip: the spot RIGHT in front of the store is, for some ungodly reason, limited to 24 minutes.) The lighting and decor is really nice, and on busy days when Bev has to juggle my more complicated requests around other clients (doing a haircut while my dye is processing, etc) I actually enjoy just hanging out in that space. Theres a coffee shop kitty corner to the salon, so if you arrive a bit early (and before 2) you can even grab a coffee or a bite to eat before heading over.
I cannot recommend this place - and specifically Bev! - enough. Dont hesitate to make an appointment!
*Im not sure Bev does perms anymore - I know theyre pretty labor intensive if youre not as close to bald as I am, and its been a minute since Ive asked her for one.
