Our Story
Art. Care.
Community.
Atelier Hair Studio opened in Austin in 2016 with a vision for what a salon could be — a space where artistry, sustainability, and genuine care converge.
About Maria
From Paris to Austin,
with love.
Maria Solis fell in love with hair color as a teenager in Mexico City. She studied at the Jacques Dessange Academy in Paris, worked alongside top colorists in New York, and then came home to Austin to build something of her own.
Atelier was born out of a frustration with salons that treated clients as transactions. She wanted a space where every person who sits in the chair feels truly seen — and leaves feeling like the best version of themselves.
Today, Atelier serves Austin's vibrant community with a team of four stylists who each bring their own mastery and perspective to the studio.
The Team
Meet Your Stylists
Maria Solis
Maria opened Atelier in 2016 after training in Paris and New York. Her signature style blends technical precision with a deeply personal approach — every color story is as unique as the client wearing it.
Priya Sharma
Priya specializes in textured and curly hair, having studied the Ouidad method and Lorraine Massey's Curly Girl philosophy. She believes every curl pattern is a canvas.
Jamie Cole
Jamie has styled over 200 brides in the Austin area. Her calm, meticulous approach makes wedding-day mornings feel effortless, and her results are consistently stunning.
Our Philosophy
What We Believe
Sustainable Products
We only carry brands that are sulfate-free, cruelty-free, and sustainably packaged. Beautiful hair should not come at the planet's expense.
Client-First
Every appointment begins with a thorough consultation. We listen before we touch a single strand.
Continuing Education
Every stylist at Atelier completes at least 40 hours of education annually — new techniques, trends, and treatments.
