Boutique hair salon

Where good hair
starts with calm.

The Gilded Shear is a small salon built around unhurried appointments, honest consultations, and the belief that how your hair feels matters as much as how it looks. We take our time. You will notice.

Book an Appointment

Everything starts
with a conversation.

Every new client begins with a 15-minute consultation, included in every first appointment. We talk about your hair, your routine, and what you actually want before we touch a single strand.

Three stylists,
one shared standard.

Margaux Linden

Owner / Lead Stylist

16 years behind the chair. Trained at Vidal Sassoon London. Specializes in precision cutting and lived-in color. Believes a great haircut should look better at six weeks than at six hours.

Eli Torres

Senior Stylist

10 years. Expert in textured hair, razor cuts, and natural curl work. If your hair has a mind of its own, Eli knows how to work with it instead of against it.

Sable Kim

Colorist

8 years, color-obsessed. Hand-painting, foil, and corrective work. Has a reputation for getting blondes right on the first visit and for talking people out of choices they will regret.

Quiet on purpose.

Three chairs. No walk-ins. No televisions. The music is low, the lighting is warm, and the coffee is good. We built this space to feel like the opposite of a loud, rushed salon.

The products on our shelves are the same ones we use in the chair: Davines, Oribe, and a small line of locally made scalp oils. We do not sell anything we do not use ourselves.

There is always water, tea, or espresso. We also keep a stash of dark chocolate in the back, which you are welcome to.
