There's a particular kind of hair salon in Sioux Falls that opens in an old brick storefront, hires two stylists who can actually do hair, runs through Vagaro for booking, and either becomes the place every smart woman in the Cathedral neighborhood goes for the next decade — or doesn't. Head Space 605 is the kind of place I'd bet on being the former.
### What Head Space 605 actually offers
Precision cutting, color, color correction (the hardest service in hair, the one that separates technicians from technicians' assistants), and the conversation that turns a haircut into the rest of your week.
- Precision cuts (not chain blowouts) - Color: single-process, double-process, balayage, highlights, lowlights - Gloss treatments and color refresh - Color correction — fixing what someone else did - Styling for events
### Who built it
A small operator with the kind of intentional naming sense that signals taste — the "605" anchors local, "Head Space" is the wordplay that says the chair matters. Five Google reviews so far, all five stars. Five reviews is small. Five five-star reviews about a stylist who knows what she's doing is a different number.
### Where they fit in Sioux Falls
225 E 11th St, on the eastern edge of downtown — between the Cathedral district and McKennan Park, two of the most walkable, most aesthetically aware neighborhoods in the city. Brick storefronts a few decades older than what's down on 41st, which gives the salon a different bone structure to work with — high ceilings, big windows, natural light from a flattering direction. The light you see your color in is the light the stylist is matching to.
### What they're not
A small operation in its first season or two of building clientele. The booking calendar is tight, the cancellation policy is firm, the pricing reflects independent-stylist time and skill (not chain). No public phone — booking, rescheduling, and consultation all run through Vagaro. If you want a fast Saturday-afternoon haircut for thirty dollars, that isn't what's being sold.
### How to work with them
Online booking through vagaro.com/headspace605. Plan ahead — book three weeks out, treat it like the appointment it is, and the chair will be there.

**FAQ 1: How do I book at Head Space 605?**
Booking is online through Vagaro at vagaro.com/headspace605. There isn't a public phone — the modern independent-salon model handles scheduling, rescheduling, and consultation requests entirely through the booking platform. Plan three weeks out for a stylist's prime weekend slots.
**FAQ 2: What's the price range at Head Space 605?**
Higher than chain salons because you're paying for an independent stylist's time and skill. Cuts run in the higher end of the Sioux Falls market, color is priced per process and length, and color corrections are quoted per consultation. The pricing reflects the level of the work — no walk-in thirty-dollar trims here.
**FAQ 3: Can Head Space 605 fix a color disaster from another salon?**
Color correction is one of their specialties — but it requires an in-person consultation first, not a same-day fix. Book the consult, bring photos of what you want and what you currently have, and the stylist will scope what's possible (and what timeline) given your hair's history. Sometimes it's one session; sometimes it's a multi-visit plan.
