Born and Bred is a Hartford studio led by Alyssa Haley that combines salon services with an active artistic practice. The business offers in-studio haircutting and color for all people, along with makeup application and hairstyling for weddings, photoshoots, and events. Bridal styling is a core part of the studio’s work, supported by Haley’s background in cosmetology, hairstyling, and makeup artistry. The space is shaped by a broader maker-centered practice that also includes commissioned art, custom resin pieces, artisan jewelry, and upcycled home décor, giving the studio a distinct identity rooted in craft and personal expression.
