The experience

A house built on personality

Franz Sebastian Salon has been a fixture on St. Elmo Avenue for years, quietly earning its reputation the old-fashioned way — one impeccable finish at a time. The room is unhurried, the coffee is good, and the mirrors are flattering by design.

Our stylists specialize in balayage, lived-in color, formal styling and restorative treatments. Come for the haircut, stay for the head spa.
