    Hair Consultations

    Before the cut, the conversation.

    A consultation lets us read your hair honestly — its history, condition, and where you want to take it next. The more we know about previous colors, relaxers, and treatments, the more precisely we can plan the right service. A non-refundable $50 fee secures the conversation; recommended for weaves, lace wig installations, crochet, color corrections, and any transformation where condition and history matter.

    Voices from the Chair

    In their own words.

    "I ordered a couple of pieces for my anniversary celebration on short notice — Donna shipped right away and everything arrived in time. The quality of the clothing is exceptional. One item was out of stock and she suggested another I liked even more. Truly professional, truly thoughtful."
    Window Works LLC
    "Great stylist, beautiful atmosphere. If you're looking for a complete look — the hair, the outfit, the night — come check out the studio. A real one-stop-shop, and very professional."

    "Gifted hands. I was very nervous but excited — it was my first time getting my hair cut. Ms. Donna understood and was gentle. I left her chair looking like a new person."

    About

    "Studio Ex is the room I always wished I had as a guest — quiet, considered, no rushing. Every appointment is one client, undivided attention, and the time it actually takes to do hair the right way."
