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

She is incredibly talented, professional, and always takes the time to make sure I leave loving the results. Every appointment is a great experience, and I always feel welcomed by the entire salon.

I highly recommend both Veronica and the salon to anyone looking for exceptional service!

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.

Very HAPPY I made an appointment here!!! This morning I woke up and knew I had to get my hair…read moreprofessionally cut. The night before I took scissors to my hair and cut 80% of it lol. I been wanting to go short for a while and needed the inspiration lol. So I called them up after eating breakfast and they can get me in. I didn't have time for makeup or dressing cute, otherwise I was never gonna make it on time. I do like getting cute for the salon so the hairdresser can tell my style. Got there, parked on the side street and walked to the salon. The vibe was chic and relax, super cute decorated for the holiday. Monick was my hairdresser. She looks so much like my sister in law!!! Her hair is gorgeous and her makeup was very beautiful. She let me know that she needed to clean her station since she just finished her previous appointment. No worries with me, I was a bit early. She came to get me, I showed her the pics of the pixie cut I wanted. She did an AWESOME job!!!! I didn't think I would like it as much as I did since I usually wear my hair past my waist lol. I am soooo happy with the results!!!!! Highly recommended

I honestly hadn't gotten a real haircut since 2019 because I had such a bad experience with another…read morestylist who completely butchered my layers. It genuinely traumatized me, and ever since then I had only been getting blunt trims while growing my hair all the way down to my butt. I originally started seeing Jade for my color, and she has been incredible from day one. Before I found her, I used to bleach and color my own hair at home, and it would take me over four hours. Jade gets me to an even better result in less than half the time, and the consistency of sticking with her keeps my color better and better every time. She's so knowledgeable and efficient. After years of being too scared to let anyone cut my hair, I finally trusted Jade enough to give me layers again. I can honestly say it is the best haircut I've ever had. She listened so carefully during our consultation, made sure she understood exactly what I wanted, and checked everything before I left to make sure it was perfect. She gave me beautiful layers while keeping the length I had worked so hard to grow. Beyond being incredibly talented, Jade is just the sweetest person. She's so easy to talk to, every appointment feels like catching up with a friend, and she's genuinely invested in making sure you leave happy. I never feel rushed, and she always takes the time to make sure everything is exactly right. I'm officially locked in for life. I genuinely can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair again. If you've ever had a bad salon experience that's made you nervous to try someone new, Jade is the stylist you've been looking for. I only wish I had found her sooner.

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!!!

Recently, I made the mistake of going somewhere else due to scheduling conflicts, and I instantly regretted it. Thankfully, I came back, and Kyu completely saved the day. They took a bad haircut and turned it into something amazing, honestly better than I expected. The attention to detail, skill, and consistency are unmatched. Lesson learned: I'm never "cheating" on my hairstylist again. If you're even thinking about getting a Korean perm or need someone who can fix a bad cut, Kyu is the person to trust. 10/10, highly recommend!

(She didn't mention anything about payments) So I show up and when I'm about to get my hair washed I ask if they take any other forms of payment Apple Pay / Zelle etc. she states THEY ARE CASH ONLY !! Which is not a problem but she DIDNT mention this in the phone !! As well as on the maps it states they do accept this form of payment . When I mentioned to her that I don't have any cash and I can't get my services done. She asks me " Are you sure ?" Ummmm yes I'm sure I have no cash lady. Anyways as a reassured her that I don't have cash she turns around and says, well I'm not providing your service today another stylist was gonna do it, Let me ask the stylist who is if she accepts those forms of payment.( she didn't and she replied a little snobby in my opinion ) so I ended up leaving without my services. I understand that most salons are cash only but it's very upsetting that I already spoken to Holly on the phone and she didn't mention that they are cash only salon that is very unprofessional on their part! As as well as if I booked an appointment with Holly why would she not perform my services and give me to another stylist who is already busy with another client. I found the salon very unprofessional!!!!

To top it all off, she's a wonderful person. I highly, highly recommend Vanessa and Sage Salon & Spa!

I'm so grateful to have found Jaidyn! She is truly a light--positive, warm, and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She's engaging and attentive, and I especially appreciate how knowledgeable and thoughtful she is during consultations. She listens to what I want while also giving honest, professional feedback and recommendations. One of my favorite things about Jaidyn is that she always lets me know what services she recommends for my next visit. It makes scheduling so much easier and ensures we book the right amount of time for what I want to accomplish. After experiencing this level of personalized attention, I can't imagine going back to a salon that routinely double-books clients. My preteen daughter also sees Jaidyn, and I love how she encourages her creativity and self-expression while still guiding her toward choices that are age-appropriate and responsible. That balance means so much to me as a parent. Jaidyn has made both of us feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely cared for. We're so happy we found her and Salon Drew!

Once she was done, payment was easy and my niece said her hair felt and looked amazing! She actually wanted to know what products were used in her hair (when they did the complimentary shampoo and rinse) because she said it was so soft! I'll definitely be back!

Her salon is small & tucked away in a little plaza in Long Beach, but so worth finding! We actually know about her because my mom's coworker referred us! The atmosphere is so intimate with only 3 salon chair. Oh! She treated us to complimentary ramen & donuts lol. Prices are unbelievably affordable.. only $400 for both of us, including tip! That's rare these days!! The only small note is that Maly has a bit of a heavy hand while working!! My mom on the other hand said she actually loved it because it felt like a scalp massage . Overall, we're obsessed with our new hair and will definitely be back.
