Beauty, unhurried.

A calm, sunlit salon on Linden Avenue. We book enough time to do it right, so you never feel rushed out of the chair.

Open Tuesday to Sunday

Our story

We opened Serenity for everyone who's tired of being rushed.

Most salons run on a tight clock. Ours runs on yours. Every visit starts with a real conversation about how you live with your hair and nails, and every appointment has breathing room built in. That's where the good work happens.

  • Time to do it right

    We never double-book a chair. Your stylist is yours for the whole appointment.

  • A real consultation

    Tell us how you actually wear your hair on a Tuesday. We'll cut and color for that.

  • Calm from the door in

    Soft music, good light, and a cup of tea at your chair. Take your shoes off if you like.

Prices are starting points. Your stylist confirms the price at your consultation, before any work begins.

The visit

What an hour with us feels like

  1. Arrive

    Come in, set your bag down, and choose a tea. Your chair is already waiting.

  2. Talk

    Ten unhurried minutes about what you want, what you don't, and how much time you have in the mornings.

  3. Relax

    Warm water, a long scalp massage, and careful work by someone who isn't watching the clock.

  4. Leave lighter

    We show you how to style it at home, and book your next visit only if you want us to.

Kind words

Client reviews

First salon where I didn't feel rushed. Maren asked how I actually style my hair and cut it for that. It's wash and go now.

Denise T. Women's cut
  • Jada fixed a box-dye situation I was embarrassed about and never once made me feel bad. Three months later it still looks great.

    Rachel M. Color correction
  • The spa pedicure is my monthly reset. Lucía is so careful, and the gel lasted almost three weeks.

    Priya S. Spa pedicure
  • Brought my mom for her birthday. They gave us side-by-side manicures and brought tea without us asking. She still talks about it.
