The Atelier

A quiet practice, refined over a decade.

Maison Lior is a single-room atelier of six artists working only by appointment. We do not double-book. We do not rush. Each guest is given the full attention of one artist for the duration of their visit.

Our practice is built on three quiet principles — listen first, cut for the face, colour for the light. Every service begins with a conversation. Every guest leaves with hair that feels unmistakably theirs.

In Their Words

Clients of the house.

“
The kind of haircut you only realise is exceptional three weeks later, when it still looks effortless. Lior is an artist of the rarest sort — patient, precise, and genuinely listening.

I have been going to Vega for nearly seven years. The colour she paints into my hair has, on more than one occasion, been mistaken for natural. There is no higher compliment.

For our wedding, Sasha created something soft, romantic, and entirely unfussy. The trial alone was a small ceremony in itself. I cannot recommend the atelier highly enough.
