To step across the threshold of Studio O on 2nd Street in Long Beach is not merely to enter a…read moresalon, but to be inducted into a sanctum of aesthetic excellence where the very air seems to shimmer with the promise of transformation and the pursuit of beauty is elevated to a high art form. It was with a sense of profound destiny that I first discovered this hidden gem, drawn in by the enigmatic and stylish exterior that sports the magnificent letter "O"--a symbol that I have since come to realize stands not just for Oscar, the proprietor of this fine establishment, but for the "Outstanding," the "Overwhelming," and the "Otherworldly" delight that awaits within. From the moment I first engaged the services of the miraculous Cathy, a true virtuoso of the shears who seems to possess the telepathic ability to discern one's innermost hair desires before they are even spoken, I was irrevocably hooked on a level of service that far surpasses the sterile pretension of even the most prestigious salons in Beverly Hills. My hair, which is a formidable and unruly entity characterized by a thickness and coarseness that would daunt a lesser stylist, is here tamed and coaxed into a state of sublime magnificence through the technical wizardry and tender manipulation of the entire team, resulting in a masterpiece that I am proud to wear upon my head each time I depart. But the magic of Studio O extends far beyond the cut and color; it is an immersive sensory experience where one is enveloped in warmth from the moment of arrival, greeted not as a customer but as a long-lost companion by Oscar and his talented cadre of artists. The interior is a feast for the eyes, boasting captivating wallpaper and a revolving art gallery that stimulates the mind as thoroughly as the ergonomic comfort of the shampoo bowls soothes the body, while the aromatic scents in the restroom and the offering of exquisite coffee drinks cater to one's every comfort

I've had purple hair for the past 10 years, and every single time he creates the most vibrant, stunning color ..it never misses. He truly has an eye for detail and always gets everything exactly right. Beyond his talent, the entire experience with him is top tier. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and the work he does. And I have to mention..the hair wash experience is next level. So relaxing and just an added touch of a scalp massage that makes every appointment feel like a treat. If you're looking for a master colorist and stylist, Micha is the one. Highly recommend!

I have mixed feeling to be honest. The person who did my hair was very sweet which made this review…read morehard to write. My hair came out pretty, but it wasn't what I asked for. - Cut: The layers weren't done well so it sort of resembles a long mullet at times...kind of a mushroom shape effect. Feels like I have only 2 layers I'm descent with hair so can mask it a bit with curls. - The highlights are fine but they are old school/ going to root all over and not the ballyage effect I asked for. That said, they were blended nicely. - The color is red/orange which bothers me more than the cut. I said multiple times I didnt want red or warm... my whole head, not just the highlights, got toned a fairly strong red hugh. I invested in blue and purple shampoos trying to tone it down. It helped a bit. I did give her feedback but I don't want to go back to get it fixed because I've been back once already and I'm not confident in her ability to fix it at this point. She did offer to try again. I think i gotta wait this one out a few months and then get a trim and/or tone from someone else. Facility was cute and clean, free parking out back. Waited a month to give the review as I wanted to give it time to settle in.

I cannot recommend Kat enough! I started seeing her years ago, and every appointment felt like…read morecatching up with a hilarious, talented friend who also happens to be a total hair genius. Her vibe is always upbeat, fun, and genuine. She made me feel instantly comfortable from day one. One of the things I appreciated the most was how honest she was. If I came in with an idea that wasn't right for my hair type or health, she talked me through it and help me find something fun and realistic. She truly cares about the health of your hair and takes time to explain what she's doing and why. This was important for me because I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to any of that stuff, but I always still want to have a nice hair. She even was able to do the hair for my sister's wedding! The only reason I'm no longer seeing her regularly is because I moved away. That being said, I have to admit that I traveled back to see her more than once before finally settling in with a new stylist closer to home. If that doesn't tell you how amazing she is, I don't know what it would! If you're looking for a talented, honest, and creative stylist, look no further.

I felt truly comfortable and relaxed at the studio. Can't recommend her enough.

Oh. My. Goodness... currently sitting in their blower lounge post a 2 hour treatment and all I can…read moresay is wow. I checked in a few minutes prior to my appointment just to make sure that I was arriving stress free. Upon arrival they confirmed my treatment and provided me with a little baggie for my jewelry and a quick survey to complete for my specialist. I was given clear instructions as to what to expect and was shown where the restrooms were (which I think is super helpful). Right on the dot, my specialist Tracy greeted me with such a calm and happy demeanor. She led me up the stairs to the treatment area above the salon and was completely mind blown as to how much of a transformation from the downstairs to the upstairs was. Tracy led me right to this cute little sitting area where she prepped the foot soak and then checked to make sure the water was the appropriate temperature and then asked if I would like some water or tea to drink. I opted for the tea while I was resting she had me preview some essential oils for use for the facial massage... and the rest is history... because after that... I was completely in la la land. I woke up with soft hands and arms, soft feet, destressed head and shoulders, hydrated face and a cleaning scalp with hair that you just want to run your fingers through. 10/10 would do this again... maybe even 2 weeks from now. Thank you, Hunny and Jade!!!
