Why the Cut Should Look Better in Week Six
The right cut for your hair is mostly about how it grows out — not how it looks the day you leave. Here's how we plan a cut for week one and week six.
Welcome
Beauty Work, Done Slowly and Done Right.
Hair, color, skin, and brow work in a quiet, senior-stylist-only studio. Every appointment includes a real consultation and the time it takes to do the work properly.
- Senior Stylists Only
- Consultation Included
- Independently Owned
Simple Process
How a Visit Works
We don't double-book chairs and we don't rush. The schedule respects your time and ours.
Reach Out
Book the service that fits, or text us if you are not sure. We will help you pick — sometimes a consult is the right first appointment.
Sit Down & Talk
Every appointment opens with a five-minute consultation. We talk through goals, look at references, check skin and hair condition, and adjust the plan if we should.
The Appointment
We take the time the work actually needs. You leave with the look, a take-home routine, and a rebooking that fits your real-life schedule.
Why Choose Us
What Makes a Lumen Appointment Different
Four small commitments that add up to a noticeably different visit.
01 / 04
Senior Stylists Only
Every stylist on the floor is a senior — minimum eight years behind the chair, with their own portfolio. No apprentice work without your knowledge.
02 / 04
Consultations Included
Color, cut, and treatment appointments include a real consultation in the booked time. We don't charge separately for thinking carefully about your hair.
03 / 04
Considered Product Choices
We use professional lines like Oribe, Davines, and Biologique Recherche — clean, well-formulated, and matched to your hair and skin condition.
04 / 04
Aftercare Built In
Every service ends with a take-home plan: the right products in the right order, the next appointment timeline, and texts you can reply to with questions.
Testimonials
What Our Clients Say After a Year
We grew the studio almost entirely on word of mouth. Here is what people pass on.
01/03
“I had been chasing a balayage I actually liked for three years across four salons. Lumen got it on the first appointment because they actually asked what 'lived-in' meant to me before mixing color.”
02/03
“Their facialist looked at my skin for ten minutes before suggesting anything. She talked me out of one of the more expensive services because she didn't think I needed it. That moment earned a forever client.”
03/03
“It is the only place I have been where the cut still looks intentional six weeks later. The blueprint is just better — they cut for how it grows out, not for how it looks the day of.”
About Us
An Independent Studio, On Purpose
Lumen Beauty Studio opened in 2017 on a small corner of the East Side, started by stylist-and-aesthetician duo Hana Park and Maeve Ó Conaill. They were both senior at busy chains and tired of the same conversation: hours overbooked, consultations skipped, services rushed.
Lumen is a deliberately small operation: six chairs, two treatment rooms, no apprentice training floor. Every stylist owns their book and their schedule, and every service is built around how long the work honestly takes. That is how it stays calm in here, and how the work stays good.

FAQ
Before You Book
A few practical notes so your first visit is easy.
- Q.01
Do you offer consultations?
- Yes — for color, color correction, and any first-time service over 90 minutes. Consultations are 20 minutes, $40, and credited toward the service if you book it.
- Q.02
What do appointments cost?
- Color and balayage start at $185, cuts at $95, signature facials at $165. The full price book lives in the booking app — you'll see your exact total before you confirm.
- Q.03
How far out are you usually booking?
- Three to five days for cuts and color, two weeks for treatments and facials. We hold cancellation lists if you want a callback when something opens up sooner.
- Q.04
Do you sell take-home products?
- Yes. We carry Oribe, Davines, K18, Biologique Recherche, and Augustinus Bader at retail. Stylists pick from the shelf based on your appointment, never from a sales target.
- Q.05
What is your cancellation policy?
- We hold cards on file and ask for 24 hours notice. Cancellations inside 24 hours are charged 50% of the service; same-day no-shows are charged the full amount.

Notes from the Studio
Short, useful posts written by our stylists and aestheticians.
Less Skincare, Used More Carefully
A skincare routine should usually have fewer steps than the internet says. Here is the case for a four-product baseline and how to add intention from there.
Treatment Frequency: A Simple Guide
Treatments don't replace good habits. We map which in-studio treatments make sense once a season vs. once a month vs. only after a consult.
