The studio

Healthy hair is a long game.

Ifeoma Clarke opened Oat & Ochre in a 1910 storefront on Elizabeth Street after fifteen years of watching clients choose between beautiful styles and healthy hair. Here you get both.

Every first visit starts with a porosity check and a conversation about your routine. Then we build the cut, the color or the style around what your hair actually needs.

Ifeoma cut my curls dry for the first time in my life. I didn't know they could look this even.
Tiffany R.Curl cut & define
Monique's silk press lasted sixteen days and my curls came back fully. That's never happened before.
Danielle A.Silk press
The calmest salon in Atlanta. Sunlight, quiet music and a stylist who actually listens.
Morgan E.Wash day ritual
Chloe gave me honey highlights on 4B hair with zero breakage. I'm still in shock.
Ebony S.Honey highlights
Zainab braided my daughter's hair and she fell asleep in the chair. That's the review.
