Windermere, Florida · Est. 2021

Hair, considered
& quietly
crafted.

A small studio in Windermere built around the belief that good hair takes time, conversation, and a stylist who listens. We see five clients a day. You will feel the difference.

The Studio

Hive was built for the kind of unhurried appointmentthat's becoming hard to find — a quiet room, real coffee, a conversation before scissors ever touch your hair.

Founded by Ava Marin in a quiet corner of the Bridgewater Crossings shops, the studio takes its name from the small, devoted teams of artisans she trained with in Milan. The work is collaborative. The room is calm. The clients are seen by name.

Everything we use — from the low-ammonia color line to the bond-building treatments to the chairs themselves — was chosen for the long view. Hair you can grow out gracefully. A space that ages well.

The Space

A small, quiet room.

Three styling stations, two wash chairs, a lounge for the wait. Designed by a former architect, lit almost entirely by the afternoon sun.

The Stylists

People behind the chairs.

We are three. Each of us trained somewhere different, brought back something specific, and decided to share a room. New clients are welcome with any of us — request a stylist when you book, or let us match you.

In Their Words
I have never felt more at ease in a chair. Ava listened, asked the right questions, and gave me the most considered cut of my life. The room itself feels like a small holiday.
