🥐Local Spotlight: Meet Eclairons — Our Brand-New Across-the-Street Café (Now Open as of Feb 8!)

One of the best parts about being in Old Town is watching new small businesses open their doors — and this one feels especially exciting for us…

✨ Eclairons officially started serving customers on February 8th, 2026, and they just so happen to be located right across the street from the studio. Which means yes… your new favorite pre- and post-appointment coffee spot has officially arrived.

We’ve already been popping over between clients (purely for research purposes, obviously 😉), and it’s quickly becoming part of our everyday salon routine.

The Perfect Pairing With Your Salon Visit

Whether you’re coming in for an early morning appointment, a long color session, or just a little self-care time, Eclairons fits seamlessly into your visit with us.

• Heading to your appointment? Grab a drink beforehand and walk in feeling cozy and caffeinated.

• Fresh hair moment unlocked? Celebrate with a latte or pastry after your service — because great hair deserves a great snack.

What We've Been Ordering (On Repeat)

☕ Pistachio Latte — Smooth, nutty, and just indulgent enough to feel like a mini self-care ritual before settling into the chair. It’s officially become a team favorite.

🌯 Soujouk Breakfast Burrito — Savory, hearty, and seriously satisfying. Perfect if you have an early appointment and need something filling before your service.

And if you’re someone who loves a little sweet treat after your blowout, their pastry case is dangerously tempting in the best possible way.

A Fresh New Addition to Our Neighborhood

Because Eclairons is so new (again — they literally just opened February 8th!), there’s an extra buzz in the air right now. The space feels warm and welcoming, and it already has that “neighborhood staple in the making” energy that we love to see in Old Town.

There’s something really special about sharing new local finds with you — especially ones that make your salon experience even more enjoyable from start to finish.

Next Time You Come See Us…

Plan a few extra minutes to stop by Eclairons before your appointment — or keep the self-care vibes going afterward with a latte and something delicious. We have a feeling it’s going to become part of your routine just like it has ours.
