Changes Hair Studio

Please note

Masks will not be mandatory anymore, but your stylist will wear one if preferred. You are more than welcome to bring in outside beverages or enjoy a tea or coffee on us. What will not be changing for now is; we still do not have a waiting sitting area, we kindly ask that if it’s nice outside to enjoy the sun until your stylist is ready for you. Because we do not have a waiting area we cannot accommodate accompanying guests.

We will remain as by appointment only. Thank you.
