Cut, coloured and styled here in the last few weeks. Bring a picture of any of them to your consultation.

  • Dark brown curls cut in a layered shag with curtain bangs

    Curly shag

    Cut dry, curl by curl, and layered so the curls sit light.

  • A woman with a sleek black chin-length bob and a fringe

    Blunt bob and fringe

    Chin length, cut dry so it falls the same way every morning.

  • Long, straight, glossy brown hair seen from behind

    Glossy brunette

    Deep chocolate brown with a clear gloss and a blunt, even edge.

  • A soft low twisted updo with loose pieces at the face

Colour

Find your shade

Every colour starts with a strand test, so you see it on your own hair before we begin. Here is one head of hair in four of our shades.

  • Honey
  • Copper
  • Ash blonde
  • Espresso

Honey balayage is painted from the mid-lengths down and toned warm. Ask for a strand test at your consultation.

What you can count on

  1. A price before the scissors

    We look at your hair, say what the service will take and what it will cost, and only then begin.

  2. Strand tests, not guesses

    New colour clients get a strand test a few days ahead, so we know how your hair takes lightener.

  3. One stylist, start to finish

    The person who talks you through it is the one who cuts and colours. Nobody hands you down the line.

  4. A plan for next time

    You leave knowing when to come back, what to wash with, and what to skip until then.

If something is off, we fix it free

Call us within these days. Your stylist looks at it again and adjusts it at no charge.

Six chairs, two nail tables, one team

Claire Navarro opened Wren in 2014 after twelve years at other people's chairs. Most of the team has been here more than five years, and two of them trained here.

  • Claire cutting a client's hair

    Claire Navarro

    Owner and stylist · 18 years

    Precision cuts, bobs and fringes that have grown out of shape.

  • June brushing lightener onto a section of hair

    June Park

    Colourist · 11 years

    Balayage, grey blending and putting right a colour that went wrong elsewhere.

  • Nails freshly painted a rose beige at Lena's table

    Lena Sato

    Nail artist · 8 years

    Gel manicures that last, natural nail care and fine line art.

Meet the whole team

In our clients' words

  • “Claire asked how long I spend on my hair in the morning before she touched it. The answer was five minutes, and the cut works in five minutes.”

    Hannah R. · Cut and finish

  • “June did a strand test the week before, then took me from box black to a soft brown in two visits. She said it would take two, and it did.”

    Alicia M. · Colour correction

  • “The price on the website was the price I paid, to the dollar. That alone brings me back every eight weeks.”

    Erin L. · Highlights

  • “My gel lasts three weeks without a chip. Lena also talked me out of long square nails, and she was right.”

    Priya S. · Gel manicure

  • “They did hair and makeup for me and four bridesmaids before ten in the morning. The updo was still in at midnight.”

    Morgan T. · Wedding hair and makeup

  • “I bring both kids on a Saturday morning. Nobody rushes them, and nobody minds the hundred questions about the dryer.”
