Nuf Hair Studio

Nuf Hair Studio is an appointment-only hair salon located on Brighton Henrietta Town Line Road in Rochester, NY, near the Brighton-Henrietta border. The salon was founded by Steve Messenger and Kristin Smith, two stylists who combined their industry experience to open a studio focused on personalized hair care. Kristin Smith serves as the studio's owner, and the business is women-owned. The salon operates Tuesday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with Sunday and Monday closures.

Nuf Hair Studio provides a range of hair services spanning color work, cuts, and texture-specific treatments. Their offerings include:

• Balayage and highlights, including Pintura highlighting for natural curl patterns
• Curly haircuts, including the DevaCut method where hair is sculpted curl-by-curl in its dry, natural state
• Hair extensions and weaves
• Keratin treatments and permanent hair straightening
• Hair coloring and braiding
• Blow-dry styling

Both Kristin and Steve hold DevaCurl certifications, having completed hands-on coursework in foundational and advanced cutting and color techniques for textured hair. New clients are required to place a $50 non-refundable deposit when booking, which is applied toward the cost of their service.

Nuf Hair Studio has built its identity around curly and textured hair expertise, holding DevaCurl salon credentials and appearing in curly hair directories such as Absolutely Everything Curly. Both stylists are trained in the DevaCut sculpting method and Pintura highlighting, techniques designed specifically for natural curls and waves. The studio also emphasizes ongoing education, with its team pursuing continued training in evolving hair care methods.

The salon sits at 2061 Brighton Henrietta Town Line Road, Rochester, NY 14623, along the boundary between the towns of Brighton and Henrietta. The surrounding area is a suburban commercial corridor with easy car access and free parking on-site. The studio is wheelchair accessible. Rochester Institute of Technology's campus is a short drive south, and the Marketplace Mall shopping area is nearby to the north along East Henrietta Road, making the salon convenient for residents across Rochester's southern suburbs.
