The Hen House is a cute little salon in downtown Cochrane. I followed my stylist, Renee, there from another place.
It's in a central location & there is reasonable street parking for free.
I think they are going for 'shabby chic' with some DIY between granite counters, wainscoting & painted concrete. I wouldn't go for the ambiance as it doesn't really feel like a retreat or spa. The layout is a bit different...
- sharp angle right in the door with a short uneven 'hall'
- bench seating with no backs to wait
- it felt like I had to go behind the counter to get to the chair.
- kind of open & cramped at the same time
- hair washing stations seemed to be in a closet & so close as to bump the other patron to get past...
Speaking of hair washing, the chair wasn't that comfortable, but it could have been improved with a back cushion to put my neck/ head at the right angle.
Having said all that, the person at the front was super friendly & Renee was there, happy. It seems like the kind of place with lots of loyalty built on relationships. I'm going back because of that.
