It's hidden in a little shopping center and quite honestly I probably wouldn't have given it a try how to not read the reviews and I'm really glad I decided to try them out. Myla -I think that's how you spell her name cut my hair. As she was doing it I wasn't sure what the outcome would be but once she was done and she blow dried it to give it a bit of a style. It looks so beautiful. She cut about 3 inches to get most of my dead ends out. If I'm ever in the area & I need a haircut. I would absolutely come back again.

I was referred here by a coworker because I needed to find a new stylist since mine left town!…read more I actually scheduled with Sebastian, but when I told him what I wanted to do -BIG CHOP - cut off 10 inches for a bob for the first time, he was honest and suggested another stylist that specialises in short hair. I was thankful for his honesty and appreicate that he wanted me to get the very best outcome. I then scheduled with Jen and she was like a bright lil sunshine. We cut off the 10 inches and it was so fun deciding what to do with it next. She truly knows hair and is very high level professional. I will be back! The location is in the LBX shopping area with plenty of parking, but it can be busy after 5 or on the weekends. Inside the salon is stunning and they offer you drink services which was so nice.

First, it was Ken's tender care and soft spoken demeanor who was taking care me whether it' is coloring my hair , roots touch up, or shampoo and style. When Nika joined the Shear & Shine, I started asking for Nika. She is an excellent colorist, hair stylist, and also keeps my hair trimmed. She also does men's haircut with fade away and such. Nika will work with you and would make you comfortable. It is easy to trust her with your prized mane. As a colorist, Nika knows just the right shade of blond to cover my grays. I have received many compliments about my hair from women, men, and the younger generation. I have attached Nika latest treatment of my grays. Thank you Nika for always making me look good and special

This review is for Mary - 5/5! I came in having some idea of what I wanted to do with my hair but…read moreshe took a generous interest in how I wanted my final look to be. I knew I wanted a haircut that was low maintenance and easy to manage but also boost my self esteem a smidge in the process. She was attentive to what I was saying, paused to make sure I liked the look and feel of my hair throughout the appointment, and gave me tips and tricks on styling which I really appreciated. Thank you for changing my perspective on haircuts as I previously thought I needed to constantly upkeep the color or tone of my hair! The final result had me so pleased! Thank you once again and can't wait to return!

Mary is a total hair goddess and honestly a lifesaver. I booked her for a cut, blowout, and clip in…read moreextensions, and she completely blew me away. My hair looked fuller, healthier, and way more vibrant than it has in years just from her dry cut, wash, and blowout alone. The extensions were the perfect finishing touch and blended so seamlessly with my natural hair. She even showed me how to apply them myself, which I really appreciated and made the whole experience feel super thoughtful. Mary has the best energy. She is kind, easy to talk to, and really listens to what you want. She is so in tune with your hair goals and brings them to life. When I told her how much I loved the way she styled my hair, she walked me through how to recreate it at home, which was such a nice bonus. Her cuts are next level and her salon is adorable. The whole experience feels easy, elevated, and genuinely enjoyable. I will absolutely be booking with her again.

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!

Edit: not the owner trying to make excuses instead of holding her stylist accountable. BFFR Period…read morepoint blank I have made time out of my days to commit to our appointments and the first time I did have to change the appointment I stated IF SHE CANT ITS FINE WE CAN STICK TO ORIGINAL, no biggie I can make the original, and then she cancels like bruh we could have stuck to the original & then I couldn't say yes to appointments offered the following day or week because: 1. I had a flight the next day like at 6am 2. when I return I go back to school Mon- Thurs literally 10am -3:30pm and then 6:30pm-9 3. I work 14 hour shifts Fri- Sunday . Not once did she offer if I'd like another stylist , not once did she offer a real accommodation . Let's be real and hold accountability , because this second cancel the day of appointments, messaging me hours before on IG asking to move my appointment earlier to then canceling is WILD . Original : I know the stylists have their own way of booking or dealing with affairs apart of the salon but I think it's wild they have a rebooking fee of over $30 if client has to reschedule last minute their appointments BUT when I get my appointment canceled TWICE by the stylist ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT , due to "family emergencies" that apparently always happen. I think it's wild that a stylist can waste a clients time and day considering the first time it was canceled I had planned to get my hair cut before my birthday trip and today it got canceled I had just told my boss no to coming in for a shift because of my scheduled appointment ... what do we clients get in return besides wasted time and lost money ? At least she returned my $20 deposit that has been kept since August but damn , homegirl really needs to take care of home before taking appointments , we have a life out here too.
