Leah is a GEM! Not omnibus she talented and passionate, but she's open-minded and seemingly always learning and striving to grow + be better, even at the expense of her comfort zone, if it's to the benefit of her clientele! The atmosphere is relaxing and accomodsting. She has consistently produced great results for myself and my friends/family/referrals In varying services from cuts to color, and event phenomenal extensions! Also worth noting is that she finds a way to accommodate less-fortunate clients, who may need services but are unable to afford them. And while this isn't necessarily relevant to services, it speaks volumes to her character! read more

I needed a change: in hair color, style & stylist: such a serendipitous choice! Leah was available, willing to try something that was adventurous for her; responsive to my unformed vision. I got everything I wanted - even though I didn't know what I wanted! Leah is easy to be with: a gem! I'm proud to say that "Leah does my hair!" read more

I've been going to Leah for my hair for almost a year now, and I always have a great experience! I've been getting a balayage to go blonder and it has turned out stunning each time. Leah is friendly and personable as well. I 100% recommend her. read more

My experience at Studio 3.6 was wonderful! I went in to get my very dark hair bleached to platinum, which was a major undertaking. As this was the first time I'd ever colored my hair I was a bit apprehensive. However, Katie was amazing in helping me understand the whole process and in using her expertise to make it look perfect. Not only is Katie very knowledgeable, answering all my questions about hair care, she was also super friendly and accommodating which I greatly appreciated during the 8+ hours (in one day!!) that she worked on my hair. She really went above and beyond to help me get the very light blonde color I wanted, and was kind enough to correct some slight unevenness in the color a couple days later. And even after the intensive process of going from untouched dark hair to platinum, my hair still feels pretty healthy. I am so happy with the result and would definitely recommend Katie and Studio 3.6! read more

What a wonderful salon experience! I've been doing vivid colors in my hair for the last 4 years and I moved to Charlottesville scared that I wouldn't find another salon that would hold a candle to my previous one. After a lot of online research, I made a consultation appointment with Jennifer. And that was actually perfect - that they have quick, 15 minute spots in the books to make a quick consultation so I could show pictures, get a sense of pricing/time, and get comfortable with the stylist. Jennifer was warm and listened to everything and answered all of my questions and gave me the right amount of confidence that I booked my appointment for two weeks from then! When I arrived, I was greeted warmly and offered beverages (although I brought my own, i know i'm in for a multi hour day with all over vivid color but good to know for next time) and Jennifer walked me through the plan she had with the inspiration pictures I sent. She had a lot of knowledge about all the products going into my hair and I really appreciated all of the explanation and answering my questions. Everyone in the salon was so warm and welcoming which is great when you're getting a full head of color like I am - it's a long day! I felt really comfortable and welcomed in the salon and would recommend the experience to anyone whether they were getting vivid colors like myself or just wanted to treat themselves to a nice salon treatment. read more

Normally I do not write negative reviews, as I know how detrimental online reviews can be. I am a district manager over 17 locations, and understand that sometimes things happen and the business needs a chance to make things right, before the customer/client takes to the internet. However, I have attempted reaching out to the salon twice over the course of a week, asking for the salon manager or owner to call me back. Nothing. I sent these photos, upon the receptionist's request. Nothing. For the record, I want to say that my stylist was very friendly and I was happy with the cut and style of my hair. What I was not satisfied with was the color inconsistency and the fact that it wasn't the color I'd asked for. As you'll see in the photos, there are several sections completely missing color. The roots are significantly darker, as she left the color on them for 50 minutes before applying color to the rest of my hair. The ends of my hair are about four shades darker than all of the rest of my hair, because the came back through and added more color to the ends only as she said the color wasn't "taking". I have been getting my hair done professionally for over 15 years, so I understand that sometimes things happen. I also understand that sometimes the color you want isn't possible in one sitting. But I'm this case, they missed the mark completely. What I'm most disappointed about is the fact that nobody even cared to take the time to call me, after I asked requested a call back to discuss my concerns. I spent nearly $200 here, and had to go somewhere else the next day and spend another $180 to get it corrected. read more

So I'm out here visiting from California looking for someone to trust with my curly hair. My fellow curly hair friend found the girls, Leann and Rachel, somewhere online. We found a coupon on Groupon and booked appointments together. The place has 1208 out front and says suites. So don't look for studio 3 6 look for the number. Inside is a cute set up. Lots of rooms with windows and mini salons. With a very comfortable sitting area to wait in. We fell in love with the girls. They both cut our hair dry and washed up after. My friend was happy with her cut with Leann. Mine I asked for a trim to remove dead ends and add layers. I lost about 4 inches. I didn't get the top layers added in since my hair was dirty with products in it. Only outer hair got cut. It's a little uneven and bottom heavy. Rather than layered well like I asked. I would of went with clean hair if I can known they were dry cutting. Plus she brushed my curly hair after the wash with a fine tooth comb. Big no no for my hair. Overall I loved the girls and it felt like I was at a friends house getting a cut. I just didn't get the cut I asked for and I'm an hour away. 4 inches on curly hair is a lot. I don't think I'll go back. read more

Leah is wonderful - she listens closely to what her clients want and really cares about the final product. I decided to go hot pink weeks before my wedding, and I was excited to have her do it. She really cared about my happiness, and I'm thrilled with the end result. I can't wait to see how the hot pink goes with the wedding dress! Leah is also someone that is fun to sit with while you're getting your hair done. We've all had that stylist that was awkward to sit with for hours (like, what is there to talk about?), but Leah is awesome to talk to. She's really a wonderful person. read more

I love Leah's work so much I had to update my initial review. She's such a breath of fresh air - her skill and passion is super inspirational and everytime I'm in her chair I know she'll work her magic. I came in today with a long overdue need for a refresh on my long, thin, straight Asian hair (there is definitely an art to making a cut that creates body for my hair) and she gave me a beautiful natural balayage with a cut so stylish I did a double take in the mirror. I could not stop smiling! I'm typically the type of client that just asks for "more of the same" and today I wanted something new and fun and she crushed it. I came in with some images of ideas but as always, she knew what would work best. Even though I wanted a balayage, I was still a little hesitant with going light with my naturally dark hair and she found the perfect medium in which she blended my natural color with complimentary hues. She even took extra time to make sure the color was perfect before I left the chair. She was so patient and easy going that I felt like I was hanging out with a friend who coincidentally knew how to do hair really well. As a result? She's relatable and warm and one of my favorite stylists of all time to spend hours in a chair with. She's pure fire and I am confidant she's only going to get more popular. If you're looking to update your look, or just want to go to a talented hair stylist - Leah is amazing. She's one of my favorite businesses in town! read more

Leah is amazing! I'm new to town and it's never easy to find a new salon. Leah asked the right questions, listened to my answers and gave me a great haircut. I made my appointment online with no issues (which I love!) and am already looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Leah!! read more

Studio 3 6 also does makeup guys! The makeup is done by Keisha...Leah's assistant. I had learn this fact from my previous visits to do hair. So when my birthday rolled around I was determined to give it a try! I wanted to do full glam and a friend of mine wanted a more natural look. And she killed both! She understood that we both had different taste in makeup and she applied her skills to both uniquely. Which proves her skill set isn't singular. Before she began, we had a quick conversation about what I wanted, she asked a few questions and she did her magic. I appreciate that she took her time with it and I was in love with my look. Honestly, it was beyond what I imagined my face would look like...hehe. I will definitely be doing it again with her! Keisha is a young and sweet MUA who's just starting out but it's clear, she will go far! Give her a try...you won't be disappointed! Also, it's so convenient that it's basically a one stop shop for getting dolled up! read more

It usually takes me a few days to like and adjust to my new haircut but I loved my new hair right away after Leah cut it. She is very skilled and pays special attention to hair texture, natural shape and flow, which is important to me since I don't have a ton of time to style my hair every morning. Overall, super happy with Studio 3.6, thank you, Leah!!! read more

Going in to the salon my hair was very badly damaged due to repeated malpractice from a previous hairdresser. Despite this, Kali was able to work miracles on my hair! She managed to get rid of the deadest parts of my ends while still keeping a lot of my length. But more importantly she was able to get me as blonde as I wanted while still keeping my hair healthy! She did this by paying close attention to each strand and removing foils and rinsing as we went along. The process took 5 hours but I could not be any happier with the outcome. I was offered drinks and snacks multiple times throughout the experience and enjoyed the conversation with all of the girls in the salon. I definitely recommend this salon and Kali if you want a thorough job and are ready to invest time into exactly what you would like, because they definitely are! Awesome job! Thank you again Kali read more

I've been to Studio 3*6 three times now. After moving to cville 2 years ago, I needed to find a good hair salon. I've had 3 great experiences with 3 different hair stylists, so you can't go wrong. My last appointment was one of the best I had, especially because I was nervous coloring my hair for the first time. Katie was incredibly sweet, educational and funny. She truly knows what she is doing and can tell she loves doing it as well! I showed her pictures of the balayage I wanted done, and I was in awe of her work. She did it even better than I had imagined! I love the hairdressers at Studio 3*6 and would recommend them to anyone! read more

I've been going to Rachael for 3 years and cannot recommend her or this salon enough! Not only is Rachael personable, funny, caring, and easy to interact with, but she is amazing at what she does. I have a pixie cut and have always been happy with the attention Rachael pays to texture and clean edges. I've always left happy! The salon itself is comfortable and cozy. It's small, but I prefer that environment -- it feels almost like a spa... a spa that plays awesome music. Five stars. Two thumbs way up. Can't beat the quality of service for the price. Go now. read more

Update: Leah is still amazing!!! I have been back and forth to cville so Leah has helped me find a color that requires less touch ups. Also at my last visit I bought the Verb Ghost shampoo and conditioner and really love the products. Highly recommend. Thanks Leah! read more

Rachael is SERIOUSLY a "Hair Whisperer". I've tried SO many stylists and none of them understand my hair the way she does. She gives my thick, wavy/curly (type 2B/2C/3A), long, unruly hair propose and life. Whether she's employing all-over color, ombré, highlights, trim, cut, gel, oil, up-do's, heat for curls or straightening, etc- she's the most confident and knowledgeable Hair Stylist I've come across. A true Master. ((She is also the ONLY stylist I will ever trust with my hair for special occasions, as you can see from the attached photos of her "After" work.)) She's brilliant, friendly, lovely, & incredibly talented. Charlottesville is lucky to have her. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Rachel from studio 3.6 . Last year on my birthday I had my first haircut from her and she completely transformed my damaged hair into the most beautiful angled bob. She not only listened to what I wanted but she made suggestions on what would work for me, and boy was she right. She is super easy to have a conversation with and I would not trust my hair to anyone but her as long as I'm in Charlottesville . I would recommend anyone who is looking for an amazing stylist to book an appointment with her ! The next time I need a haircut I am going to try a new color because I'm in awe of her work with color on Instagram. I strongly recommend her!!! read more

I have had my hair highlighted blonde for many years. After moving to the area last year, I booked an appointment with studio 3*6 to have my roots highlighted blonde. The first hair stylist who colored my hair turned my hair a variety of shades of orange. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and tried her again and she made it even worse. The owner of the salon was gracious enough to fix my hair. I saw her for months after this and she could never get my hair back to the blonde it has been for many years. She was leaving the color on too long and I started having hair fall out in the front and baby hairs fried. My last visit I brought this up to her and she told me that since I didn't want my hair orange she needed to leave the color in longer. She hardly paid attention to my color process on the last visit. When I came in she was in the middle of doing a client's color. Then, she proceeded to do another hair cut while I sat with wet hair in the sink for 40 minutes for a "conditioning treatment." Then, she sat me under a hair dryer while she cut yet another client's hair. I was there for over 3 hours and did not even have time to get my hair cut because I had another appointment. Once again my hair was not the right color and I was told I could come back again in a few days and have it corrected. No thanks. read more

After looking for 8 years, I finally found someone in cville who I can trust with my hair! Leah really did some magic on my destroyed, sad hair. I just asked for a trim, some layers, and "something different". After taking a good look at my hair she knew exactly what to do. My hair feels softer, fuller and doesn't feel totally weighed down and flat anymore. I'm so glad my roomie recommended this place to me because I know they're going to do so well in cville. I've been to a few of the popular places in town and no one has given my hair the care it needed. read more

I've been coming to Studio 3*6 for a couple years now but this was my first experience with Sydney (hair) and Skyler (makeup) and I absolutely loved every minute of it. Both ladies were lovely and took the time to listen to my specific needs and boy did they deliver exactly what I asked for!! They also worked in tandem to do my hair and makeup without any additional stress on my part (which is rare if you're getting both done at the same time!). I felt amazing walking out of the salon and can't wait to go back! read more

Will never go anywhere else for my hair color. With my super thin hair, there aren't many exciting things I can do with it besides change up the color...and Leah does an INCREDIBLE job every single time. I walk out of the salon feeling like a totally different person and beyond happy. She listens carefully to what I want and puts so much thought and effort into each color creation. And I get dozens of compliments every time! She is the best stylist in Charlottesville by far in my opinion, and at a reasonable price too!! read more

Tried this salon based on all of the great reviews and it didn't disappoint. Jennifer did a great job with my scraggly hair. She listened to me (a HUGE thing in my book) and was very careful with my cut, especially my bangs. She answered my questions about hair styles I'm thinking of trying in the future and was willing to ask somebody else when she wasn't sure of a technicality with my color hair (also a win in my book). Thank you, Jennifer! I was able to get into the salon same day and used online booking. As I understand it, the salon has recently moved locations. The building is under renovation but that wasn't a concern for me (not worth taking off a star). It is tricky to find (go past the MMA studio to the left of the church) but when I called asking for help they gave directions that got me there easily. read more

I love Leah!! She's been doing my hair for a few years now and she never disappoints. She is always so excited to be doing her job, and that comes through in her work. She is masterful with color and always listens to what I want. I like to keep my hair long and she never trims it too short or tries to push me to take it shorter. I'm a natural light brunette and I usually go blonde with Leah, but the last time I went in I decided to go darker and back to my natural color. Leah was excited to do something new and crushed it, of course. read more

Rachael is magic! I have never written a review before and I'm SO picky about my balayage. I've been to master colorists in DC, Chicago and Boston and no one has gotten my hair right like her! Plus she makes you feel like you're at home in the salon with a little glitter and sparkle on top. read more

Rachel has MAGIC! She turned my hot mess into something way better than what I asked for. I can't stop looking at the mirror all day. She is a very kind, patient and easygoing person who listened carefully to my needs and also gave hearty advices. I self cared my hair for almost a year and just had enough at some point and also as a busy person with stupid-hands, I really want a low maintenance but good looking hairstyle and Rachel totally nailed it. read more

Rachael was amazing!!!! She fixed my haircut and put in balayage highlights that look so natural. My before and after photos are crazy! I loved the salon, too--very hip looking with cool art. read more

Leah is great! I used to see her at Honeycomb, but just visited her at her new solo spot, Studio 36, and it was a great experience -- nice salon, coffee, setlzer, wifi, etc. I have frizzy, wavy hair and Leah has repeatedly done a great job at a very affordable price. Highly recommend read more

After moving here from Chicago in May this year, finding someone to manage my high maintenance hair was a must! Fortunate for me I found Rachael at 3.6 Salon. She touched up my original all over color and highlights and also worked magic when I lrecently decided to change it up and do a shadow root and warming of highlights. She is able to look at a picture and do exactly what you want. Definitely recommend! read more

This was my first time getting my hair professionally dyed and I loved it! Chasity helped me figure out the color I was going for since I had no idea what I really wanted. We ended up going for an almost raspberry color that fades to a darker brown at my roots so that maintenance will be easier. Chasity did a great job with the color, the cut, and the overall service. Loved all the products she used, and I absolutely love the end result! I've gotten so many compliments on my hair over the last week, too! read more

I LOVE THIS SALON! Leah is a great stylist. Me and my daughter both went to her. We have very different hair but she took her time, listening to each of us of us and our concerns. She was able to give us both a cut that we loved. The products she suggested have worked exactly like she said they would. The design and style of the salon is also very luxurious! We felt so pampered! Absolutely will be going back again! read more

I've been to two stylists (Leah and Marissa) at studio 3.6 and I can't recommend them enough! They take the time to explain the choices they are making and to really listen to what the client is looking for. Yesterday, I went to two stores after my appointment and had five different strangers stop me to compliment my hair! If you're looking for a salon that can create beautiful reds, this is the place to go. read more

Leah is an Amazing stylist! Great location, and surprisingly affordable. I'd recommend this salon to anyone interested in mixing things up or trying something new. She's been cutting my hair for almost two years and I can't say enough nice things about her and her skills :) read more

As a natural born redhead, and a travel nurse it is near IMPOSSIBLE for me to find someone who knows how to handle my hair. Especially getting it right the first time. Let me just say.....SHOUTS OUT TO LEAH!!!!!!! Leah is AMAZING! Not only did she make me feel at ease, she did an AWESOME job with my hair!! She even took the time to educate me on what to use/not to use on my hair (according to my particular hair type). Leah is young, new, and full of enthusiasm about HAIR! Super stylish, yet very down to Earth! Her style about style will NO DOUBT take her far in her career! I am honored to meet her, and be her client at this point in her journey. She is a true breath of fresh air! read more

I moved to Charlottesville not too long ago and was looking to find a new salon. Leah was awesome...she got my color (reddish with depth) and cut perfect on the first time (even changing up what I came in with, so a bit more of a challenge). What I didn't know when making my appointment is that Leah is also a Veteran and a business owner. I love supporting those who served...and I love salons with talent! Perfect find. read more

I came into Studio 3.6 for a partial foil and root touch-up with Leah. I have been coloring my hair for years and had some beautiful caramel/golden highlights and lowlights built throughout my hair. All I was looking for was to keep the color I had existing, but modify the root a bit, as the last time I had it touched-up, it was a bit too dark. I should have walked out of the salon when Leah was trying to figure out how to tackle my hair. Long story short, my hair is now a grey-ish/ash blonde with absolutely no dimension. All of the wonderful color that I had throughout my hair is totally gone and ruined. My hair looks horrible. I honestly have no idea what she did to my color to ruin it so poorly. But after highlights (no lowlights, despite me asking for highlights and lowlights in the partial foil), a root touch up, a glaze and then a corrective toner, because my hair was WHITE at first, I am stuck with this. My hair is damaged and dry and looks horrbile. Leah is a very nice girl, but unfortunately I have some serious repair that I need to do to my hair. I would look into other salons in the area. read more

In town from California for a family wedding and scheduled an appointment online. When I arrived, they didn't have me on the schedule. Yikes - a potential disaster. However, Rachael took me in and did a great job with my very thick hair. If I were a local, I'd go there for all my haircare! Thanks Rachael! read more

Leah is fantastic! Her willingness to listen and deliver exactly what I wanted was amazing. I've wanted a lighter, ash blond look (for Asian hair, this is v challenging) and Leah was not only up for the task - but she was excited. Her straight-forward and direct approach without pretense will keep me as a customer. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a fresh new look or a hair salon that provides exactly what you request! read more

I've been visiting Leah and Rachel for a long time. Their new location is so perfect! Very laid back and a nice relaxing environment. They're both great listeners and are super experienced.

Leah and Keisha took care of my blow out and make up for my wedding rehearsal and dinner this weekend. I got compliments all night on both.

(And after all that, the price was reasonable, too). Leah and Keisha - thank you for helping me feel glamorous on the wedding weekend!! read more
