ABS private studio is easily one of the most convenient places I work in when I'm around the city. It’s perfect for clients who need a space where they can continue their remote work while getting their haircut, without any distractions. The studio is spacious enough to accommodate multiple people, making it ideal for both individual and group sessions. If you're looking for a comfortable, work-friendly environment, I highly recommend giving it a try.

My experience was great and a very welcoming ambience for any professional looking to bring their skills elsewhere or any professional to host a small class. Good vibes and great place for like minded people to come together for greatness.

Working in the ABS private studio is by far one of my favorite to work in when im around the city. Not only do my clients feel comfortable in the space but they can also continue to work on their remote jobs while getting a haircut. When cutting in a group it's large enough for everyone. I highly recommend anyone to try it out for themselves.

Not only is the place comfortable and cozy, my clients very much enjoyed the change in scenery and appreciated the 1 on 1 time. The clients that were next in line were able to sit down and feel comfortable while listening to music or watching tv. Definitely love the environment and would recommend for anyone even for content.
