Nightmare.. I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this salon. I showed the stylist exactly what color I wanted, and they confidently said they could achieve it, but the final result looked completely different from what was promised. Not only did my hair turn out nothing like the reference photo, but the color is barely visible and looks uneven and dull. What makes this even worse is the lack of honesty and professionalism. At no point was I told that the result might be different or that my hair could not achieve the color I requested. Instead, I paid a very high price expecting professional results and left feeling frustrated, disappointed, and honestly upset. I also wasted hours of my time for something I never asked for. A professional salon should communicate clearly, manage expectations, and stand behind their work. Unfortunately, this place did none of that. I would not recommend this salon to anyone looking for reliable color services. read more

This review is for Betty. Do NOT allow her to touch your hair!! Especially if it's curly. I came in and saw Orlando in January. I wanted lighter color to my brown hair, but was afraid it would ruin my curls as color has done to me in the past. He assured me a balayage would give soft highlights without changing my curls and would also be easy to maintain. That was true! He did a fantastic job and it looked so great!! So I came back for an update. I booked the first available appointment (which I guess was Betty). When I sat down and told her I booked a balayage, she asked me why? I told her it was what was recommended last time I came in. She talked me out of it saying that highlights were the same thing (they aren't!) and she said highlights were actually cheaper (which turned out to be false because I was charged the same amount as a balayage). I should have left and gone somewhere else. I went against my gut and got highlights and now my curls are stringy and dry. The color doesn't compliment my natural tones at all. I'm so sad. I also asked specifically for layers that would not look like a triangle on my head. Now I have two distinct layers that are triangles of ugly frizzy curls. Sorry Orlando, I will not be back. If you've got curly hair, I recommend you keep looking for somewhere else. read more

I've been a loyal client at Beyond Hair Studio since November 2022. Every two to three months, I visit the salon, not just for myself but also for my three daughters who get their haircuts here as well. Orlando's work has always been the reason I kept coming back -- I've genuinely admired his craft and the way he's handled my hair in the past, which is why this review is especially difficult for me to write. Today's visit, however, was deeply disappointing and hurtful. My hair had grown out to shoulder-length, and I came in hoping to have it cut like Orlando had styled it this past winter. I even showed him a photo of the exact cut I wanted -- a cut he himself had done before. Unfortunately, what I received was far from what I asked for. The cut was uneven and didn't resemble the style in the photo at all. When I expressed that I wasn't happy with it, rather than acknowledge my concern, Orlando got defensive and began to justify the result by saying the original haircut had been done while I was transitioning from a pixie cut -- which didn't make sense to me, given that my hair is now significantly longer, offering more room for the same style. He then tried to convince me that "the length didn't matter," which completely dismissed my feelings and the photo I brought in for reference. What hurt the most wasn't just the haircut -- it was the way I was treated. I didn't raise my voice or create a scene. I simply told him I didn't like the result. Instead of an apology or a solution, I was met with frustration, blame, and ultimately, rejection. Orlando told me he no longer felt "comfortable" cutting my hair and that he "knows himself" and just "can't" do it anymore. After years of being a kind and loyal customer -- even bringing food to the staff to show my appreciation -- I was heartbroken to be treated like my loyalty meant nothing the moment I gave honest feedback. I quietly teared up in the salon. While Orlando ignored it, one of his staff members noticed and asked if I was okay. All I could do was gather my things and leave. Not being charged for the haircut didn't make up for the emotional experience of being dismissed and blamed after all these years. This experience was not just about a bad haircut -- it was about the lack of professionalism and empathy from someone I had trusted for years. Feedback, even when it's not positive, should never be met with rejection and blame, especially from a small business that has been supported with loyalty and gratitude. read more

Great experience. Gabriela did a wonderful job with my hair. She blended the color perfectly and gave my daughter the cutest layered bob. The scalp massage and shampoo was luxurious. I can't wait for my next appointment. read more

Have been going to Orlando at Beyond Studio for ages and he always does a great job. Appreciate e little touches like scented hot towels after your hair washing that help make you feel extra pampered. I always ask for a blow dry with flat iron and my hair looks phenomenal. Used the wait list function to get an appointment on the next day, so if you don't see an appointment do try that! Very happy with my hair (as always!) read more

I'm obsessed with my hair! Betty gave me beautiful layers that brought my style back to life, and the red dye is bold, fresh, and evenly done. She's also my go-to for nails, so it's a one-stop beauty experience every time. Love her work! read more

Will definitely visit again. I took my niece for a great haircut the day before and convinced my sister to go the next day for color and cut. Connie did a great job both times! My sister has long and thick hair so she was worried about how long it would take and the quality. She was pleasantly surprised at the time and how great her hair looked and felt after it was all done. Everyone was kind and friendly. read more

Orlando has been doing my hair for over a year now. He is great at his craft. I decided I wanted something completely different this time. We made our plan and Dulce executed the plan perfectly. She's very educated and explained the process and upkeep as we went along. As a bonus, Sama did my makeup and did an awesome job. The 3 of them made me feel like a queen today and I highly recommend all three!!! Before and after pic... read more

So, to begin with my hair was black I went in for a color correction to get a balayage. Left like a messed up calico cat:( However, my hair was multi colors after they completely bleached my hair twice. The reason I'm giving 1star is because I explained I wanted my grey hair blending on top and a lighter money piece. I left with absolutely no grey blending and my roots just covered with dark dye and absolutely no money piece. Also, my hair is still extremely brassy and very orange red with wheat colored highlights. Absolutely nothing that I wanted. I do understand there is a process and going from black to blonde is impossible but I wanted a caramel color. I was there from 10am till 6:30pm and I regretted the whole $800 process and now have to wait till my hair recovers from all the damage to find a new stylist with more experience in color correction. To get a whole new correction. So, positives the environment is great the employees are amazing I really liked the place everyone is very friendly and nice. I also, got my eyebrows done which was amazing definitely 5 stars for eyebrows. Would I recommend this place yes for hair cuts and yes for eyebrows. Absolutely would not recommend for color correction if you have black hair but in all fairness it's always a risk. However, the highlights aren't even at all completely different on both sides and just looks weird. The stylists was Orlando and Angela read more

I've been going here since I was in middle school and I am now in college. Orlando has always been the hair stylist that cuts my hair and he always does very well. He's kind and knowledgeable and has always given me constructive ideas for my hair when I ask. I believe he's definitely worth giving a shot for anyone who wants to try a new stylist. read more

I loved my experience at the Woodbridge location! I had not been able to take care of my hair for 2 years and my color had grown out and my ends were horrible. I walked out a completely different person and I absolutely loved how they made my hair look and feel and the color... was amazing!! They even treated my scalp for my dandruff issue when washing my color and my scalp feels so soft! They did all that within my budget and I was so surprised! I would deff recommend this salon!! read more

When my hair appointment at another location fell through due to a stylist's medical emergency, I had a very narrow window of time to find other option before holiday events. I called Beyond Studio more than two hours before they were scheduled to open for the day. Although I wasn't surprised when no one picked up since I was calling so early, I was thrilled to receive a text a few minutes later asking if I needed to make an appointment. I explained the situation and was booked for the next morning with Connie. Connie went over what I needed done with my hair to get everything back to a natural color and cut. I'm a total total wimp when it comes to cutting my hair, and Connie respected my request to trim off just a tiny amount, even though I know it would probably be healthier to do more. I especially loved the hot towel during the processing and the shampoo that smelled so good. My hair looked amazing by the end of the appointment. Even my husband noticed when I got home (and he NEVER notices when I get my hair done) and said I look five years younger! I was extremely happy with the whole process and Connie was excellent. read more

This review is strictly based on Orlando and my experience with getting my hair colored by him and his expertise and his guidance with helping me choose extensions. Orlando did a fantastic job with guiding me through clip in extensions and doing a balayage on my hair and the extensions. I had no idea what to do for hair color so he showed some pictures and told me what he thinks would look best for my wedding updo. He was fantastic and took his time helping me understand what to do. The downside was how loud it was there. It felt like Hollister without the darkness. I will definitely return to see what Orlando can do with a short haircut. read more

My experience here is not good. I arrive and did have my hair washed at my appointment time. However, the entire wash I was being sold on products. Then it took an hour for Orlando to come and actually begin my cut. He did not ask me how I wanted my hair styles and gave me pretty tight curls which is not how I like my hair done. Then I come home and after washing my hair realize that the sides are completely uneven. I felt very uncomfortable and will not be returning. read more

Beyond Studios does it again, this is the millionth time I've come here, and I will continue to come here over and over!! And I'm sure you guys see why In the photos lol This time I decided to be a little extra and finally get the extensions I've always wanted, and I am absolutely in love with them!! I'm living my most volume and longest hair life I've always wanted!! The lady really took her time and was patient putting them in and wanted to make sure that they were very comfortable to me which I really appreciated! She was awesome! And I am the exact platinum blonde color I wanted to be!! I also took my little one to do a purple color with the wolf cut, and the pictures speak for themselves can we say stunning!!! we both have received compliments nonstop on our hair since!! Thanks again for always giving excellent service and everything!! read more

This is going to be a long review so if you're going to take anything from it let it be : 1. You don't get your own stylist. One will come do a part leave and the next will do another part (Orlando did my roots for the dye and someone else did my ends) 2. Watch for your receipt. (When I booked my appt it said $175 for color and haircut -- which is exactly what I got ) they charged me 220 before tip. 3. The owner (Orlando) is arrogant, petulant and detached. Bad Haircut First time at this salon, after looking for the reviews I booked Orlando specifically bc several reviews said he was good at his job. I told him I wanted a Burgandy bob and he immediately said it wouldn't work bc I already had color in my hair. I take his advice and go for the color he recommended from a book they have-- he does my roots with the color and then leaves and I don't see him again until the haircut. When we got to the hair cut again I said I wanted a bob and pointed on myself the length that I wanted-- once again he hit me with the " but " saying my face was too round and the bob wouldn't suit me so he was going to do an inverted bob (he didn't use this term for it bc his arrogance demonstrated he thought I knew nothing about hair). Once again I trust the process and his professionalism and let him do the cut. Immediately he starts cutting layers into my hair which I never mentioned wanting, but again I trusted the process. I would have been okay with all of this as long as my hair turned out good. To my disbelief a few hours later when I got home i saw how terrible and uneven the haircut was. I was so disturbed because the only way to fix this is to go even shorter and my hair was already chin length. The following day was Sunday so I called and asked if he was in to go talk to him, employee said no not until Monday so on Monday at 6pm I walk in and the place is closed ( odd bc online it says 630 and on their door it says 7) but Orlando saw me and opened the door anyways and I tell him I want my money back for cut and color. He said yes for the cut and no for the color( I didn't argue bc hair color is subjective) I also said I was over charged ( he was not surprised at all when I said this so makes me think this is not unusual for them ) and he agreed to refund the overpayment too. After walking over to the register he starts saying how the haircut isn't bad that it was the way I styled it--- this made me so angry bc how is he going to tell me I can't see how even my haircut is when I straightened it specifically emphasized how uneven it was. I stopped and asked him " do you think this is a good haircut " and he responded with " I'm not giving your your money back " I ask why and he said bc of my attitude--- keep in mind I was calm up until he wasn't taking accountability for the bad haircut. I may have struck a nerve but I wasn't rude and I didn't raise my voice. After this things got a little heated between us. Ultimately we came to an agreement and I got a refund for the haircut and the over charge and tip. All I wanted was Orlando to show some empathy for how he left my hair and acknowledge he messed me up. But no-- in his eyes the haircut was great and my styling is the problem. Photo 1 is the inspo photo I sent him of myself Photo 2 is the day I went in to talk to him to get my money back Photo 3 is a ss from a video I took the day of the haircut after I had got home and realized how bad it was. It was still styled from the salon read more

I debated writing this review but considering I'm thinking about it 6+ months after the fact, I've decided to. I went for the one and only time I will go to this salon because of Orlando. I told him a summarized bit of my history of my experience with my hair and hair stylists and he lectured me about things he assumed about me, which were wrong--but he did it with a smile, which always throws me. At one point he told me no one would want me in their chair because I just want a basic cut and it's not worth their time. I can't remember what he said when I called him on this but needless to say, he was totally arrogant and it was an awful experience. read more

Highly recommend! Called in to see if there was someone available for a simple hair cut and was assigned to Dulce , she was very gentle with my hair and gave me the cut that I wanted and the blow out was even better .
