Hue Salon opened on Wabaska Dr in 2015 when Angela Macpherson left a 20-year chair at Details Salon Spa and brought four stylists with her to a women-owned operation steps from Sunset Cliffs Natural Park. The salon is a Goldwell and Aveda dual-line shop specializing in hand-painted balayage, Brazilian Blowouts, and full color correction, and accepts cryptocurrency alongside standard payment types — a detail more commonly found at independent tattoo operations such as Last Days Tattoo Parlor than at neighborhood salons. Several stylists stack 20-plus years at the chair, including a colorist trained on Aveda plant-based systems who handles the bulk of grey blending and gloss-refresh work. Curly-hair cuts are booked dry rather than wet to preserve pattern, a technique that sets the shop apart from standard blow-dry-and-cut routines. Facial and skin services are handled separately off-site, and color clients prepping for a big event often build a facial-plus-hair stack with an esthetician such as Solitude Face & Body Care. The most complex work on the calendar is pulling a client from a level-3 box dye to a level-9 dimensional blonde, a multi-session color correction using bond-builder protocols across three to four visits.
