After being an exclusive salon client of Vidal Sassoon in Chicago, and Scottsdale for several years each, I found myself in Yuma, AZ desperately needing what seems like the impossible- A excellent stylist who knows how to cut a mass of thick, curly, hair... After searching online through various sites and reviews, I found Tory Valencia at Karma Salon Hair Studio. I called her number listed on the fb page, afterhours and she personally answered the phone! After answering a number of questions and expressing my concerns, I decided to book an appointment. Her attitude, attention to detail, and level of professionalism won me over completely. I was truly amazed I'd gotten exactly what I had asked for, and was extremely pleased with the cut. She asked me to let me know if anything needed to be changed once I washed/styled it myself. It's been a few days, and I'm so pleased with the results. Thanks Tory for rescuing my hair!! I couldn't believe how affordable it was. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a cut here in Yuma. 5 star salon!! read more

It's plain to see just by her website, and clientele that she has a very clean, organized studio, VERY satisfied clients and the before and after pictures of her work are outstanding! Seems to me if a person were truly 'put out', they should have the BALLS to say something TO the manager -TORY's face, not about her, behind her back over what could possibly break someone -- a whole twenty dollar bill. I highly doubt it was such an horrid visit that you felt so unnerved about it you had to go get your knickers in a knot and smear her all over Yelp. Get a grip. Next time she'll talk all about you and your problems and be your emotional blanket. NOT. It's called saying, "hey could you take a lil more off this side?" instead of paying for it, leaving unhappy, then staying unhappy you didn't say something and then instead of dealing with the situation you jump on here and start a smear campagne. Now I'm annoyed. Thanks. read more

Last year I decided to color my own hair...I had been doing it for a while and had a very light brown but I wanted to go darker. Within about thirty minutes I went from a beautiful light brown to a dark brown that looked totally green. I was beside myself. A friend of mine suggested Tory and I went praying that something could be done. Tory took time for me immediately and totally downplayed the situation, even though we both knew it was pretty bad :) She explained what had happened with the mixing of colors and got right to fixing the problem and I looked amazing! I even let her convince me to get bangs, which I hadn't had in years, and I ended up with the most amazing haircut and color I'd had in years. I would 100% recommend her to everyone. Anyone who can fix my disaster of a hair situation can do anything! read more

I had the same boring haircut for years until a forever-friend of mine recommended me to Tory. I was really nervous to have my haircut since I've had numerous horrible experiences with others, but Tory was really down to earth and listened to what I wanted. The end result was AMAZING! My husband absolutely loves the way my hair looks after Tory cuts it. In the last few years she has been doing my hair I've never once been dissapointed. She is professional and is awesome at her work. I just recently moved to CA and I'm in desperate need of a haircut now. I refuse to see anyone else since Tory has gained my trust. I will be seeing her soon...I can't waaaait! I highly recommend Tory and I absolutely LOVE her work ethic. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

I moved back to Yuma after living in Phx for several years. I was dead set on my hair stylist in Phx and was terrified to let anyone touch my thick unruly hair. Tory made me feel very confident and i am so picky that after she was done i was asking her to do little things that i personally are picky about and she did it all without complaining or trying to reschedule another appt to get more money. I recommend Tory to everyone especially since its so easy when everyone would ask who does your hair i love it.....With this being said i am very satisfied and recommend Tory to any woman or little girl for a cut or color. i think Karma is cutie and I wish it all the best! read more

A good friend of mine recommended me to Tory last year and I was very pleased with her friendly, positive attitude! She is also very knowledgeable and professional! My hair always looks good when I leave. One time I wanted to go a little lighter after she had already colored and washed my hair and she did not take offense at all. She made sure I was going to leave completely satisfied and I did! And I like the contests and specials she posts on Facebook too! Lots of my buddies are clients of Tory's and I know they love her as well :) read more

Tory has been styling my hair for about 10 months now. Each time I go, I am extremely pleased. I have recommended her to numerous co-workers who always stop me to ask "who does your hair?" The color is always amazing and the cut makes styling a breeze. I will continue to recommend her to others. She has always been very flexible and does her best to work around client schedules. I have always found her to be very professional and personable. read more

I go to Tory every time i need color or a haircut, she is super friendly and does an amazing job. Her prices are reasonable and about the same as everyone else in town although if you have Karma hair studio on Facebook, they have specials and great deals all the time. i would and have recommended her to a number of people. Her salon is very cute, small and personal. I will continue going to her. read more

Shami has been my hair savior forever and I love her at the cute little shop downtown. I feel like she listens and looks at how hair actually grows BEFORE diving in to chop. Fast, friendly, and a lot less than I would expect for the best haircuts in town. I've had her do all over color, highlights, trims, dramatic changes--the whole gamut. I won't go anywhere else. read more

The owner, Tory is a great hair stylist. She has been doing my hair for almost 10 years and I would never go to anybody else. She is the best in color/highlights and extensions. She also cuts my 3 little girls hair and is very patient with the kids. The prices are more than fair, that is the benefit of going to a smaller salon, less overhead! Love this place! read more

I had Tory do my hair and she did a fabulous job. I had my hair cut and highlighted. THE highlights and lowlights that she put in were outstanding and have received MANY compliments. She did everything that I asked for and more. The price was GREAT! I would definitely get my hair done by her again. THANKS TORY!!!! read more

What a cute little salon! I had my hair cut and colored with Tory and she did an amazing job with my unruly curls! The prices are great and they always have deals going on! I got 20% off of my color! The salon is decorated so nicely and it's located in the heart of Yuma! Definitely check them out! read more
