A studio in the trees, a color philosophy to match.
Wren opened Fern & Foil above a Victorian bookshop in 2016, after a decade coloring hair in Austin. She wanted slower days, fewer chemicals and windows full of oak leaves — and she wanted color that looked like it belonged outdoors.
Our balayage is painted to grow out like nature does: gradually, unevenly in the best way, with soft roots that never shout. We use ammonia-free and low-tox lighteners wherever possible, cut curls dry and send every guest home with a plan, not a product haul.
— Wren Calloway, founder & editor of this little studio

My balayage grew out so softly I went five months without noticing. It looks like I spent the summer outside, which, honestly, I did.
Odessa painted my curls one by one. They have never, ever looked this good.
Tobias's copper is the exact color of the oak leaves outside the studio window in October.
Marisela's grey transition plan was the kindest, smartest thing a stylist has ever done for me.
Juniper did my hair for our elopement on Whitaker Point. Forty-mile-an-hour wind. Not a strand out of place.
The most peaceful salon I've ever been in. Plants everywhere, bookshop downstairs, no rush at all.
Kai gave me the first short cut I've ever loved and didn't make a single assumption about me. Thank you.

Color should grow out the way the woods grow in: slowly, softly, unevenly in the best way, until you forget you ever had a root line.
