Dayton, Ohio

Color that grows out beautifully.

Ava & Co Studio is a three-chair salon in Oakwood. We take our time, we cut for how your hair actually behaves, and we would rather talk you out of a color than watch it go brassy in five weeks.

Kind words

What clients say

  • Ava listened to everything I hated about my last three haircuts and fixed all of it in one visit. It still looks good at week eight.
    Megan T.Client since 2024
  • Nadia took me from box-dye black to a soft brown over two visits without a single broken strand.
    Lauren P.Color correction
  • Jordan did my bridal trial and the day itself. The updo held through the ceremony, the photos and a lot of dancing.
    Kayla S.Bridal
  • Small, calm and never rushed. I book my next appointment before I leave every time.
    Denise W.Cut and color every eight weeks
