Joshua is an amazing hairstylist/artist! He listened to my hairstyle desires with photo inspirations and gave me the most exquisite haircut and color highlights ever! It was also nice meeting Andrew, who was absolutely delightful over the phone and in person! I look forward to my next visit with Joshua in May! Peace and Gratitude, Robin read more

I just moved to Richmond from NYC and and am super picky (neurotic?) about my hair. Joshua at 1213 came very highly recommended and I booked an appointment. Wow! Joshua did an amazing job... perfect cut and beautiful styling. He listened carefully and produced exactly the look what I wanted. Thank you Joshua! read more

This was my first time here and I couldn't have loved the studio or Joy more. She gave me a haircut and helped me find a good texture spray. Office staff is great + free parking behind the shop. Haircuts run around $60. Will def be back!! Ps there's a cute coffee shop right next to the salon! read more

It is now 2024 and I am still short and sassy thanks to Joshua at 1213 Hair Studio! I believe in loyalty and am always happy with my results! read more

Melanie is the best! I have moved a lot in the past decade (which means I've had beaucoup hair stylists) and I don't think I've ever had someone as talented work on my baby fine hair. I love my hair! The cut and the color that she has done on me is just perfection. I've done both balayage and foil high lights with her and she slays. Besides her talent, she is also super easy to talk to. I get the sense that she is genuine and authentic - definitely someone who is down to earth and completely relatable. The salon is always clean and calming. read more

Today is my second visit to 1213. When I first moved back to Richmond, Lauren came highly recommended so I eagerly visited. The venue is great, clean and has good parking for the fan (see receptionist inside to get a pass to put on your car and park in the back). Lauren was so wonderful and personable and gave me a great color. She also allowed me to Venmo her for tip (cash alternative for prior reviews discussing cash only). However, my reason for not coming back in nearly a year is due to the prices. I lived in DC for two years and my stylist at an Aveda in Georgetown charged less than here. Today I am back and visiting with Courtney. The salon lived up to its previous standards and she was just as sweet and wonderful as Lauren. I gave her about twelve requests with no real direction and Courtney managed to give me exactly what I wanted for a great price. Once again, I was able to tip with Venmo. I absolutely will be coming back for my next color. read more

i booked a consultation with andi and she was absolutely the sweetest and such an easygoing person, i want my blonde to go up right next to my roots instead of being an ombre. im usually super afraid to go to salons because im anxious about the stylists being judgmental on the damage done on my hair before. andi was so sweet and took care of me so well, she was so considerate about the little things like not getting water into my ears at all and she was just the sweetest, not a single stylist judged me too. the actual treatment pricing was unexpected as andi and i originally anticipated it would be roughly around $250's range for my service and that was my budget. it was unexpected as there was a color band and color correction was needed but the owner (kelly) assisted with andi the next day for me and helped me out with pricing options, maintaining the integrity of my hair, and getting my ideal look. the owner was amazing and super considerate with my financial situation. 1213 is amazing, they put customers first and they go above and beyond to make sure you leave with the hair you want. the salon is cute and chic, super super friendly and everyone is amazing. (my final hair look does not look like the inspiration picture as toner was added!! dont be scared of toner!) read more

I love 1213 Hair Studio and I really do wish I had a better experience at the salon. I came in for a cut with Lindy and left devastated. Knowing she was a newer stylist, I didn't have terribly high expectations but I hoped for more because she worked at 1213, where they always do a fantastic job. I came in with a full head of long hair (image attached) and asked for layers with a short face framing piece (images attached). I understand she is a new stylist, but I would have appreciated a bit of honesty and discretion when it came to her level of experience. I showed her the pictures and she seemed positive she could get it done, but at the end it was obvious it wasn't anywhere near what I wanted. I wouldn't have minded her telling me at the beginning of the session that she couldn't do it and I would've happily scheduled with someone else, but instead I was met with a terrible cut at the end. I asked for a short face framing pice (which is what i got) but also got a layer going around my head the same length... basically a mullet. The rest of my hair was cut from that piece that at the most drastic angle ever. I knew something was off, but she said it was the way she styled the air that made it look the way it did. She attempted to fix it while i was there, but there was really no going back. When i only intended to get my layers freshened up and preserve as much length as I could, I left with about four inches cut from the front, a mushroom bob and uneven, i blended layers. I went home and tried to style it myself trying to give her the benefit of the doubt but felt so defeated at the end. Thankfully, Joy was able to see me today to "fix" the haircut, which i really appreciated. She mentioned taking a picture for educational purposes and I really hope it's useful. I appreciated that the salons had a "call us if you don't like it" policy, but feel so so devastated that I lost so much hair. I was told I had intimidating hair (thick and a lot of hair) which is upsetting because i left with the opposite. Joy had to thin out my hair from all angles which in turn cut down so much volume on the bottom and about four inches around my hair. As much as I appreciate the willingness to fix my hair, I wish i could receive a refund. My hair is no where near what I wanted and is a complete change to what I had before. My hair is so important to me as I tried to grow it out and take the best possible care of of to get it cut and dyed, but I'm left with no dye and missing half of my hair. read more

Bianca colored and cut my hair yesterday and I love how it came out. She was so friendly and full of energy, which I appreciated as it was the end of a long work-day for me. She gave me the exact cut I wanted and I'm loving my darker color as well. The salon was clean, well-kept, and everyone was friendly. I did not feel rushed and each stylist appeared to be working with only one client, which is rare these days. I was in and out of the salon and therefore my appointment did not feel like a "task." Also, they have a really cute and super well-behaved salon doggy named Bella that belongs to one of the stylists. read more

I was guided to 1213 Hair Studio by friends and coworkers. I was fortunate enough to get an appointment with Macie for color and a cut. She is a lovely and caring person. Macie spent a great deal of time with me to understand the hairstyle I would like and listening to my concern about my thick hair. She cut my hair with such precision and explained to me what she was doing and why. Macie even took the time to show me how to dry and style my hair which is something I have never had a hairstylist else do. I love my new haircut and color. Thank you Macie. Mary Ann Owens read more

I had an appointment scheduled with Joshua for a consultation. I got to the salon and was told he had taken the day off and his clients were supposed to have been notified by phone. I double checked my messages and no one had called me. The salon makes such a big deal about charging for cancellations and then stands up their clients. I should send them a bill for my time. I spoke briefly to Maci about hair color and she was unhelpful to the point of being insulting. You couldn't pay me to go back there. read more

I was so happy with the haircut and color I received by my hair stylist Lindy! My hair is short and she did a great job with the texturizing and color with highlights! Highly recommend her and the salon! read more

I've had more than one great experience at 1213 and will continue to go back. They are PROFESSIONAL! I went in with a general idea but needed some guidance to the look I was going for and Lindy excelled! I have since returned and am happy to have found my new salon in Richmond! read more

Went here for the first time thanks to Instagram!! I follow several health/food ladies and they all get their hair done here. I decided I wanted to try something completely different and go blonde and of course I decided to go to a professional as I've never had my hair blonde before. I was actually able to snag a last minute appointment due to a cancellation which was awesome as my schedule is a bit all over the place at the moment. When I walked in I was greeted by Lauren and she asked me what I wanted. I asked her advice on if blonde would even look good with my skin (cause let's be real a lot of people can't or shouldn't pull it off) and she was super knowledgeable in telling me certain blonde shades wouldn't work but a middle of the line one would. And so it was decided. She was super easy to talk to during a long appointment and I could tell she was a pro at balayage because she made it look easy (and it's not). Fast forward a couple hours and I LOVE MY HAIR!!!! It looks sooooooo good!!! Thank you so much Lauren! read more

The salon is strangely spartan in decor feeling very bare. There is no atmosphere to the place, no camaraderie, it's almost eerily quiet. When booking, I was not informed my stylist was straight out of school and required supervision. A standard wash, cut and style took an hour and a half. I won't be going back. read more

This is such a fun salon! Everyone is friendly, and they have the sweetest little pup (Patty) greeting clients. The space is beautiful, but still comfortable. I couldn't get a pic of the lighting fixtures, but they are really interesting pieces. Kelly (the owner) gives fabulous cuts and is also a master with color and extensions. She teaches coloring classes all over the country, so she absolutely knows what she's doing, and her staff also gets regular professional development. If you get color, this is the place for it! I've only seen Kelly, but I hear great things from my mom and friends about all the stylists at 1213. read more

The space is so cool! Definitely very cute -- with great smelling shampoo by the way. The staff was super nice and Macie did an AMAZING job with my haircut. She had such carefulness making sure I knew what she was doing, and doing it masterfully. I love my haircut ! Also the blowout (with no extra charge) was awesome too. I hadn't been to a hair salon in Richmond yet, so I was nervous to try a new place; but I def recommend this one. read more

I was so excited to get an appointment with someone I read such great reviews about (Joshua) I came in with super long thick hair and I wanted it to be cut at a good length and thinning my hair by adding more layers, and he did an amazing job! My hair turned out better than I have ever envisioned it. I've read from the reviews that they can't take tip through your card so bring cash for tip. Will definitely be returning next time I need a haircut. I'm just happy I've finally found a place. read more

I've had an exceptional experience with Kelly at 1213 Hair Studio. Thus far, I've done haircuts, highlights, and most recently a glaze to blend out my existing highlights. Kelly cut & colored my hair for my Miss America farewell, and I couldn't have been happier with the result! The salon is clean and trendy, and the stylists are professional and talented. Highly recommend! read more

I rarely leave reviews but I am blown away at how great my hair turned out. This was my first time going there. Lauren A. is magic... she did a full foil highlight and I am now the most beautiful shade of blonde and it's even and thoughtfully blended all throughout. I will certainly be back - thanks Lauren you rock. read more

Updating this review. The owner very kindly called me to sort it out and I was issued a refund for my appointment. It sounds like they had some conversations, so this won't happen again to other customers. read more

I have such a great experience each time I visit 1213 Hair Studio! The establishment is clean, comfortable, and everything you'd want in a hair salon (vibes are immaculate). I've seen Courtney C for over a year and a half, and she consistently wows me with my haircut and color. I had not had much experience coloring my hair (and not much trust, honestly), but she made me feel very comfortable while she educated me on options that made sense for my lifestyle and budget. I couldn't recommend 1213 Hair Studio more! read more

I just had my hair done by Macie Almarode at 1213. She is the first stylist to actually listen to my request and make my hair look amazing. I highly recommend her and the salon all-around. Thank you Macie! read more

I feel gypped. I have been going to 1213 since late 2014, and I have not been anywhere else since. I get my hair cut around once every six months (because a) my hair is halfway down my back and b) I am in college and can't afford much more), but have always taken advantage of their free bang trims once or twice between cuts. They've always been able to fit me in with one stylist or another, and I've never had an issue. Today, out of the blue, they charged me $20 because I didn't get my bangs cut by my normal stylist (who moved to Florida over the summer of '16, I guess not who I saw last time?) and because it'd been a while since I'd been in (which was in September). I'm sad, I thought I liked this place, but I won't go where the receptionist screws you with a smile. read more

Mary at 1213 Hair Studio is truly an amazing stylist. I have never had anyone be so kind and patient with me. I have had HORROR experiences in the past with salons so I am sad to say I was a box hair color addict...I would have a panic attack just getting my hair trimmed. I had read the reviews on Yelp and looked at all the pictures. And finally chose 1213. I called and the receptionist was incredibly nice. I had explained to her my nightmares and fears. And she assured me I had made the right choice. I came in and had Mary as my stylist. I explained to her that I needed a change, a new start. Being that I was a box color junkie I basically had ruined my hair. But Mary explained we would try and work with what we had, but give me something new. I asked for a new do for a new me, and she didn't let me down. Best experience ever. And the price was reasonable, worth your money read more

Very cute, lovely boutique Salon. I booked an appointment with Ryanne. Such a sweet, nice, caring person. She truly cares about her clients needs and wants. She listens carefully and will walk you through the whole process of what she is doing along the way. She will not let you walk out the salon not liking your hair, she will do everything she can to have you love it before you leave. I went from dark brown to Carmel blonde Bayalage highlights mixed with my natural color and loved it. I finally found a good hairstylist in Va and I've tried many salons! You can't go wrong with any of the stylist at 1213 Hair Studio, they are all very talented! read more

This place is a total rip off! I made an appointment for today Wednesday February 6 at 2 pm!! I call to cancel my appointment because my son woke up with a high fever and while I am trying to keep his temperature down and taking him to the pediatrician she went ahead at 10:40 am and charge the amount for the entire service which was 210 dollars to my credit card. THE OWNER WAS SO RUDE AND UNHELPFUL SHE EVEN HANG UP THE CALL. I wasn't trying to just not go I just wanted to re-schedule. You lost a client and I am already disputing the charge for the service I DIDN'T RECEIVE because I am caring for my family. Shame on you! What a lack of professionalism. Answer to her reply: Kelly M. Cahen You did not notify me about this cancelation policy and I asked you for the recording of the conversation we had when I booked because again you did not notify me! Also what kind of mother is going to leave her 10 month old home sick with a caregiver to go do her hair later the same day. You can say anything you want you do not treat customers like you treated me and you don't hang up the phone and yes who is not going to get upset with a full charge one thing is a cancelation fee but the entire service fee?!... You didn't want to talk to me to get away with not being truthful to people. I disputed the charge in my credit car I have cero problems now. read more

This salon went above and beyond to make sure my hair looked how I wanted and to fix a problem I had previously brought to their attention. I am very appreciative of Kelly and how much she cares about what her clients think, thanks for the awesome hair!!! read more

Yum...Hello my new love!!! I got a fabulous keratin treatment and a seriously not so fabulous "trim" on a recent cruise and desperately needed it fixed before some important meetings. The cut was really awful. As a recent transplant to downtown Richmond I relied on Yelp to find me a new salon and chose 1213 Hair Salon to fix me. My stylist, Melanie, is a hair genius and absolutely lovely to boot! I left feeling beautiful, which added to my confidence in my meetings, which landed me a spiffy new contract. I also loved that the receptionist who booked my appointment explained everything clearly so I knew exactly what to expect. That definitely helped to make my experience stress-free and enjoyable. Thank you guys for being awesome!! read more

Everyone knows Lauren does the best balayage in Richmond. Her work is amazing it's been months since I've been to see her but her work is outstanding. If you're looking to get your hair colored in Richmond especially balayage she's your girl. Also the salon has a wonderful modern cool vibe to it. read more

I went to 1213 Hair Studio today for a cut and color. Near the end of last week I decided my roots were in dire need of a touch up and after browsing Google, I gave this place a call and found out they could fit me in this morning. Yay! The salon feels modern and chic with light walls, cool space-agey glass chandeliers, black and white accents and funky black leather chairs. I had Stephanie do my cut and color. She was very friendly and thorough. After we chatted, she suggested I have two shades added to my color to take me from a warmer tone to more of a pastel. She took her time and wove very thin highlights throughout the top of my hair (I got a partial highlight). As we chatted I found out that she goes to New York City regularly to train and she's even taken a seminar on razor cutting with one of the stylists from "What Not to Wear." Cool! She shortened my long layers and updated my look. I was very happy with the end result and with my new style. Plus, it was a bargain: $115 for a cut and two colors. I'll definitely return! read more

Sabrina is the best! This is my 2nd time coming to her at this location and I am twice the happy camper. She is sweet as can be and respects if you either l want to just relax during your appointment or have a full on conversation. You don't have to tell her much either. She. Just. Gets. It. The facilities are clean and decoration is chic and minimal. Every one else on the staff seems to truly enjoy working there. I was a long time customer of a local and popular competitor and have switched over due to the service and professionalism of this place. The staff at 1213 ACTUALLY SMILE and don't put you down when you aren't a hair whiz. They also don't force conversation on you only to be shot down by pretentious hipster ideology. read more

A lot of people are particular about their hair. I am one of those people. After being quite pleased with Ryanne and her services at Katie Blue, it's no question why I followed her to 1213. Yes, I get it, this is a salon. I am a man and I should get my hair cut at a barber shop. As much as I love the "boy's club" that is High Point, I also don't like having to wait 4-5 weeks for a cut, and then paying upwards of $50 for said haircut. 1213 does it right. A men's cut with a wash and rinse is $20. No outrageous prices, no need to book a month in advance, no problem. Come see Ryanne or any of the other stylists and get your head looking fresh. Highly recommended. read more

I came here after reading all the great reviews off of Yelp - thanks my fellow yelpers! I booked an appointment with Ryanne wanting the balayage which is a little difficult to find in the Richmond area. Ryanne and I discussed what I was hoping to achieve - to lighten my hair a couple of levels which having dark black hair has always been difficult. She gave me some tips and discussed any issues we may come across. Ryanne was extremely thorough and made sure anything she did I was educated on and it was what I wanted. I have to say my hair came out perfect! I have never been so happy coming out of a salon. It also turns out we knew a lot of mutual people - it's such a small world we live in! I'll be singing Ryanne's praises for a long time to come! read more

I found 1213 through the high Yelp reviews and YELPERS, you were right! Joshua was friendly and such a great stylist.

They also have student discounts for certain stylists and the front staff was helpful, courteous and friendly. I'll be back for sure. read more

I got my hair done by Joy Godfrey and could not be happier with the way she did my hair. She is by far the best stylist I've ever been to!

YELP REVIEW VCU STUDENT EDITION: So if you're like me, you prefer GREAT SERVICE that is right next to campus and not awfully expensive. I called 1213 Hair Studio and they told me they could take me immediately, so I walked over to their beautiful salon & was attended to immediately. Derek did a fantastic job cutting my hair! Gave volume, texture and shape to the mop that sat on my hair before. He also used shampoo & conditioner specific to my hair type and gave me recommendations based on the complaints I had for my fading hair color. I LOVE this place. I would LOVE to be a regular here, but it is out of my broke college kid budget. (Expect $50 for a shampoo, cut and style). However, I believe it is worth it to pool my money together to come back for a full highlight :) read more
