A room, not a franchise.
A narrow brick storefront on SE Hawthorne, built to feel more like a small gallery than a parlor. Here is how it feels to be inside.
The room · salon-hung flash & copper light
More gallery than parlor.
Copper Iris began as a room, not a chair. Salon-hung flash and original paintings line the walls; copper pendant lamps hang low and warm; the work — intimate by nature — is kept quiet and unhurried. The ink is meant to speak first.
The waiting room · teal velvet & botanical prints
A room that slows you down.
A teal velvet couch, framed botanical prints, potted plants, worn wood floors and layered rugs. Nervous first-timers settle here before anything begins — and collectors know the calm is exactly the point. Every station is private and linen-curtained, so each session stays yours.
The craft · pigment mixed in copper caps
Color mixed in-house.
Marisol blends custom pigment to sit beautifully against your skin tone — the differentiator the whole studio is built around. It's a slow, deliberate way to work, and it is the reason collectors cross town for color that reads true.
