The idea for THIC studio came from Morgan Tully, a veteran in the salon industry, who wanted to rebrand the hectic nature of salons, encourage creativity, and make guests feel as comfortable as possible. The Salon side of THIC has a wide array of products and services curated by Tully. On top of this, THIC studio features talented all-female stylists and colorists with an array of experiences. The [Photo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/360-photo-booth) Studio side features exposed brick, skylights for natural lighting, and tall, 20ft ceilings to create an environment that radiates comfort. This studio can be rented out for photoshoots, personal events, or for whichever creative purpose consumers need the studio for.
