The chairs

Three people.
You pick which one.

There is no “next available stylist” at Marcel Avenue. You book a person, you keep that person, and if you'd rather move to a different chair you say so and nobody takes it personally.

Owner · senior stylist

Mireille Foss

Eleven years in Charleston and London before opening this studio in 2019. Cuts dry more often than not, because that is how hair actually falls once it leaves the basin.

Mireille's whole approach is that a haircut has to survive the four weeks after it, not just the twenty minutes in front of the mirror. She'll ask what you actually do in the morning — and if the answer is “nothing, I have a toddler”, she will cut you something that works with nothing.

Best known for
Precision cutting, curly and textured hair, restyles, bridal
Trained
Vidal Sassoon London, then eight years at a Charleston studio she'd rather not name
In the chair
Tuesday to Saturday. Books three to four weeks out; there is usually a cancellation.

Honestly, when the picture you brought will not work on your hair — and what will

Colour specialist

Sasha Lindqvist

Does nothing but colour, which is exactly why she's good at it. Trained in Copenhagen, and quietly obsessed with what a colour looks like four months in.

Sasha is the reason this studio has a hard rule about consultations and strand tests. She has spent enough of her career correcting other people's bleach to know that the fifteen minutes beforehand is the whole job. She will talk you out of a colour that photographs beautifully and lives badly — and she'll explain why rather than just saying no.

Best known for
Balayage, blonding, colour correction, grey blending
Trained
Copenhagen; Wella Master Colour Expert
In the chair
Wednesday to Saturday. Corrections are booked as a first consultation, always.
Will tell you
What the grow-out looks like, what the upkeep costs, and whether it needs more than one visit

Barbering & short hair

Dev Marchetti

Barbers the way his grandfather did in Brooklyn, minus the unsolicited opinions about your career choices.

Scissor work, skin fades, hot-towel beard finishes, and most of the under-twelves on a Saturday morning. Dev takes forty-five minutes for a short cut because he thinks a good one can't be done in fifteen, and he's right. He is also the only person here who will happily cut your hair in complete silence if that's what you want — just say so when you sit down.

Best known for
Scissor cutting, skin fades, beards, kids who don't like haircuts
Trained
Apprenticed four years in Brooklyn; licensed barber, State of Georgia
In the chair
Tuesday to Saturday, and usually has something this week

The studio

Why three chairs, and only three

One client at a time

Nobody gets parked under a dryer while their stylist starts somebody else. It halves how many people we can see in a day, and it's the entire reason the studio is worth visiting.

No commission

Nobody here earns more by selling you a treatment. If someone recommends a bond-builder it's because your hair needs one, and if you ask whether you need it the honest answer is often no.

Everyone still cuts

Mireille owns the place and is behind a chair five days a week. There is no manager here who stopped doing the work.
