Hiwot Studio

Q: What can I expect from a women’s haircut at your studio?

Our women’s haircut service is tailored to your face shape, hair type, and personal style. It includes a consultation, precision cutting, and styling to ensure a fresh, flattering look with added volume and shape.

Q: Do you offer bang trims between haircut appointments?

Yes, we provide complimentary bang trims with any other booked service to help you maintain your hairstyle between full cuts.

Q: What’s included in a wash, blow dry, and curl service?

This full styling service includes a hair wash, blow-dry for volume and smoothness, and curling to create polished, long-lasting waves or curls tailored to your desired finish.

Q: How long does a Brazilian Blowout last and what are the benefits?

A Brazilian Blowout lasts up to 3 months and helps eliminate frizz, smooth hair texture, and enhance shine. It’s ideal for those seeking manageability and a sleek finish.

Q: Which treatment is better for dry hair: a protein or moisture mask?

For dry and brittle hair, the Moisture Mask deeply hydrates and restores softness. If your hair is weak or chemically treated, a Protein Treatment rebuilds strength and reduces breakage.

Q: What is the difference between full and partial balayage?

Full balayage lightens the entire head for a more dramatic effect, while partial balayage focuses on the top and front sections for a subtle, sun-kissed look. Both use hand-painting techniques for a natural finish.

Q: How do full highlights differ from partial highlights?

Full highlights cover your entire head and create a more vibrant, multi-dimensional look. Partial highlights are applied to specific areas like the top layer or around the face for a softer, blended effect.

Q: Is a single process color right for me?

Single process color is great if you're looking to refresh your current shade, cover greys, or try a new, all-over color. It includes a protein treatment and styling to protect your hair and enhance the result.

Q: What is a corrective color service and when is it needed?

Corrective color is ideal for fixing color mishaps, such as uneven tones, unwanted shades, or over-processing. It includes a consultation to assess your hair and create a plan to safely achieve your desired look.

Q: Do you offer styling options for enhancing natural curls?

Yes, our Natural Curl service defines and enhances your natural curl pattern while controlling frizz. It’s perfect for adding bounce and shine to textured hair without compromising its integrity.

I went to Hiwot a couple of months ago with a serious hair mess—I hadn’t had a haircut in over a year, and my hair was well past my shoulders. I was ready for a change, and Hiwot completely delivered! She cut my hair into a short, wavy bob and transformed my brown hair with beautiful caramel highlights. I absolutely love it!

On top of being incredibly talented, she is such a lovely and warm person. I’m so happy I found her and would definitely recommend her!...more

Hiwot is, literally, the first hair stylist who had cut and colored my hair beautifully in decades. It doesn’t seem as if it should be so hard to find a stylist who understands how to shape curly hair well and who really listens to your coloring desires, but, I have found it is very hard!!! Hiwot is understated and doesn’t oversell herself, she simply listens and delivers exactly what you want!! She is a lovely and gentle soul with outstanding skills. I am in her dryer now and couldn’t wait to leave a review!! She is absolutely outstanding!!!...more

I was recommended to Hiwot by a friend and decided to make an appointment. The first time I went I had a keratin treatment and haircut. She did an amazing job with both. We discussed the keratin treatment and she was absolutely correct. The products used did not produce a smell or irritate my scalp. The results were just what I wanted. Smooth and frizz free hair. The second time I went to Hiwot was for hair color. She helped me decide on the best color for me. The results were beautiful. Hiwot is experienced, competent, nice and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!...more
