I can't say enough good things about this studio! After my stylist of ten years decided to step back from doing hair, I needed to find a new stylist and location that I enjoyed. Well, I found it! The space is calming, the stylists are friendly but not overly chatty and everything feels authentic. The space is airy and bright and both the stylists and the clientele (in the two times I have been there) have been friendly, authentic and genuine. As for my hair, Maria gave me a great cut, and I came back for color later. The salon wanted me to be completely thrilled with my services so I booked the wondrous color expert Kyilah. She gave me exactly what I asked for and we were both delighted and smiling. I loved seeing that she was just as excited with the result as I was! I will not need to look for another salon. This is the place for me! read more

I was hesitant about trying a new salon, but I'm so glad I did! My husband has been coming here for about a year. I decided to try it and recently visited M Hair and couldn't be happier with the experience. I had the pleasure of working with Kyilah, and from the moment we started talking, she put me at ease. I was feeling conflicted about my hair because my previous cut just wasn't working for me. Kyilah listened carefully, gave me confidence, and created the perfect cut to complement my style. I also absolutely love the color she did! If you're looking for a talented stylist or are new to the area and searching for someone you can trust, I highly recommend Kyilah. She is personable, kind, and incredibly meticulous in her work. I feel so fortunate to have found her--and best of all, I no longer have to keep searching for the right stylist. Thank you, Kyilah, for making me feel like myself again! read more

Stopped by for an impromptu blowout earlier this week because I just wasn't in the mood to wash my hair (treat yo'self and all). I always prefer the quality of blowouts I get at a salon vs a dry bar type of situation, and M, Studio is near my office and had a little availability for day-of. Bonus: the blowout was very reasonably priced at $45 for a classic blowout. M. Studio is an Aveda salon tucked into the cute strip of the Shops at Porter East. It's shockingly spacious inside and incredibly dreamy: calming, plant-filled, lots of cozy seating, and knew I was in for a treat. A girl greeted me immediately and asked for my preference of water, coffee, or the special blend of tea only available at Aveda. I opted for the tea. The Aveda tea is very herby and not for everyone but I loved it, and it came for me adorned on a tray with a Dove chocolate - this spot is about all of the small special touches. Sarah sat me down and we walked through what I wanted in my blowout, noting my hair concerns, how the weather would affect the style, and what products I liked. I'm a hair product nerd and very familiar with Aveda products and Sarah is one of the few stylists I've had to truly understands how to use products tuned to hair type and style wanted, and I appreciated that she sought my advice for everything. Next up: a relaxing head massage, double cleanse shampoo and condition. While I sat, she also added in a little complimentary aromatherapy, hand massage, and weighted eye mask. The towel she wrapped around my neck after was nice and toasty warm; the whole experience was dreamy-levels of relaxing. We chatted throughout the actual blowout and though I'm not normally super chatty, Sarah was such a delight. They offer the option of a silent appointment, and I appreciate how explicit they are about catering to all your small preferences.The girl at the desk came back when I was getting my blowout and offered complimentary snacks: mixed nuts, sun chips, etc. The blowout was exactly what I wanted: smooth but with a bit of bounce, and a style that lasted me through a kind of drizzly night without requiring much upkeep. The next day, I spritzed with a little dry shampoo and was good to go for a second day of the style. I'm on day 3 now and just really impressed with how well the blowout has lasted for me. This hair studio is such a hidden gem for anyone looking for attentive, kind service, really relaxing vibes, and just a small treat to yourself in a hectic week. Cannot recommend them enough and I know I'll be back! read more

I always feel like I am the center of the universe at M Hair Studio! The aesthetic is relaxing and almost spa like but at the same time casual enough that you can laugh and talk. A person can truly be 100% themselves, whatever that may mean. The stylists are both professional and approachable, they are up to date on trends, techniques, and products. M Hair Studio invests in training, environmentally conscious products, staff, and clients. They are committed to ensuring every client leaves happy and feeling beautiful inside and out! read more

I found this place with pure chance, but I love it so much. Literally cannot give enough kudos to this salon -- and Rachel in particular! Please take a gander at my before photos, bleeding red, orange, warm.... Which is the exact opposite of what I had asked for with my previous salon. It is unfortunate as I'd been seeming my last gal for about 1.5 years, but this color is unforgivable. Especially as this was my third time giving grace on things. After my last appointment, I couldn't even look in the mirror. I immediately got home and started searching for a new hair home. Found M Hair and then stalked (sorry) the stylists. I really was in love with Rachel's work. Plus.... Best name ever, but I'm biased :) She is amazing, truly!! Look at this before and after. She took the orange warm roots and transformed my head into a natural looking, dimensional work of art. Dark roots that look like they actually came out of my head, blended beautifully. She was beyond understanding, kind and graceful in my time of need. I have gotten countless compliments since my appointment and I owe it all to her. Plus, she gave me quite possibly the best blowout of my life. It lasted 3 days. The entire staff was fun and energetic to be around, they use the best quality products around, and I could not be more thankful to find this gem of a studio. Thank you all! So very highly recommended! read more

I cannot explain how great it feels to have a hairdresser who is OCD to get your color just right. Major kudos to @color.by.sam. Her pics she took of the back of my hair looked EXACTLY like the pics I brought in as what I wanted. She was SO knowledgeable and took the time to get it right. Everyone who needs some color... head her way!!! read more

M Hair Studio - Hair Extensions Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

When I moved to Nashville it was difficult to find a salon where the employees didn't look like Bret Michaels or a member of Mötley Crüe. Which is fine, if that's your thing - but it's not mine. The ladies at M. Hair Studio are comfortable and naturally just themselves. The studio itself is bright and airy, chic and simplistic. If you book online you can create an account which gives you the ability to look at their calendars and pick what day and time works best for you. They're genuine, down to earth, and welcoming people. Sam is my stylist and I am always super happy with my experience when I leave. She's easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and someone you can be comfortable around. I trust her to help me make decisions on my cuts, color, and product selections. Katie is usually there when I go in and she's great as well. Conversations with them are always something to look forward to. read more

Wonderful place highly recommend. beautiful shop with leafy plants around, kind humans, relaxed atmosphere. They are accepting of all humans. Sam Rovetto does an incredible job and checks in on my hair and scalp health and provides a wonderful scalp massage. The front desk people always offer to get me things. If you want a talented group of people to do your hair and make you feel beautiful, I could not recommend them more. They do curly hair and colors too. read more

Can I recommend Kate @ M. Hair Salon? She is the best color stylist I have found in my life as she is great with blondes and I love her organic color she uses. She is extremely knowledgeable about what she does and the "why" behind it. She uses NO chemicals on my head at all as I am sensitive to toxic hair products. And she makes me feel as though I look like I am 21 again...even though I'm retired! Lol. read more

My experience at M Hair studio was fantastic. They are experienced in their services, professional, and customer focused. I chose this salon because it was local and had been recommended to me by several friends (who also have fantastic hair!). I had been commuting back to Indy for 4 years (who can leave a stylist), but my Indy stylist left for California. I was nervous going to a new salon and Mandi eased by nerves by listening to my needs and preferences. She followed up with me twice after my visit to make sure I was satisfied. Now after several visits, I have full trust in my new stylist to make my hair beautiful with her own techniques. The salon is clean and they prioritize the health and safety of their customers. I also love that they sell Kevin Murphy products. These products have helped my understand how quality products can change your hair. read more

I went here for the first time the other day and had a fantastic experience! My stylist, Sam, was kind, professional, and a lovely conversationalist and did a great job on my hair. They also are being extremely serious about COVID-19, which I appreciate -- I was asked to fill out a questionnaire ahead of time asserting that I was not at risk of having the virus, I was required to wear a mask, my temperature was taken when I entered the store, and I was made to wash my hands when I entered. Sam was also wearing a mask and sanitized her station before I arrived and after I left, and there were only four people total in the salon: myself, Sam, and one other client and her stylist, both of whom also wore masks and were stationed at the opposite end of the salon. My wife went the next day and had a wonderful and safe experience as well. Making this my go-to hair place moving forward! read more

KRISTI WHERRY is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Best hairdresser in Nashville. Hands down! Her talent, combined with her genuine personality, will make your entire day! I am posting pictures below of my hair before and my hair after Kristi fixed it. She revived my brassy locks into bright sassy locks! read more

Rachel has consistently given me great haircut. I've never had to wait to be seen; she is always on time. In addition to being super comfortable and kind, her scissor skills are unparalleled. She is also a really skilled colorist. read more

Not exactly your friendly neighborhood salon... I was charged $185 for no service whatsoever. I made a last-minute appointment for highlights, and when I showed up at the salon, I was told that they would not be able to accommodate me because I can't safely wear a face mask (they are still enforcing a mask policy). I told them I was disappointed but understood, and I left - only to receive a charge for $185 on my bank statement, since they had classified me as a "no-show" who hadn't canceled more than 24 hours before the appointment. I was shocked and called the salon to discuss. When I spoke with the owner, she refused to remove the charge. Needless to say, I'll be taking my business elsewhere in the future! read more

I had my hair done last week by Kate. She did an amazing job with my color correction!! I got balayage, baby lights, and a bright money piece. I really like how she worked the highlights into my current grey pattern so my color lasts as long as possible. Definitely going back! read more

Heather!!! She is "Top Knot"ch!!! Extremely experienced when it comes to color and she is a perfectionist when it comes to your cut!! I have followed her and will continue to do so because of her excellence! I always leave happy and my hair healthy!! She also is really good at color correction. Unfortunately I know from experience! Heather is also really creative so if you aren't sure what look would work best and be most flattering ask her suggestions! I would 100% recommend her and once you experience her goodness you won't want to see anyone else ever. In terms of scheduling she is pretty flexible but worth taking time off to pamper yourself once in awhile if your preferred spots are already booked up!! Also she is not one to upsell you on items you don't need but if asked she can make some great recommendations based on your lifestyle and hair!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

M Hair Studio - Hair Extensions Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Great salon! I was able to book online very easily with short notice. I bleach my own hair and get nervous about going to salons and having the stylist pressure me to have them bleach my hair, but my stylist was very supportive and understanding of me doing that myself :) I also wasn't pressured into buying any products which was a relief. They have a shelf of them, and I am kind of tempted to buy something next time because my hair feels so nice! My stylist and overall experience was great and I will definitely go back :) read more

My first cut with M hair studio was during covid and I felt SO safe. They went above and beyond to keep themselves and their customers safe while giving me an awesome cut and style! They'll be my go-to studio from now on! read more

Just got a great cut and color from Kate! She is very personable and extremely knowledgeable about color techniques and chemistry. I usually float around to whoever happens to have the soonest availability when I get the impulse to cut my hair, but now I have a regular stylist. Highly recommend! read more

Ok. Real talk. Sarah is a wizard with the curly hair. I'm a control freak so I really appreciated how much time she took to listen to what I wanted. Almost immediately I could tell that she was a perfectionist and I was in good hands. Not only did she layer my tangly mess BEAUtifully, she balayage-highlighted it to bring out the curls specifically. Definitely one of the best experiences I've had in a salon! I'll be back to see her for sure. read more

GO SEE KRISTI AT M HAIR STUDIO NOW. I have seen Kristi worked pop up recently through couple friends of mines and when it was time to get a new color in right before fall, I knew I wanted to check her out. The moment I walk into the studio I fell in love with the place already! I knew I was in good hands right off the bat. I wanted to do some type of balayage style with my hair with purple ombré. Yes, purple. I was doing something a little extreme for myself but I knew I was able to trust Kristi to get the work done and how I want it done. I was there exactly 4 hours getting the results I wanted. The whole time Kristi was so patience and made time flew by so fast. I definitely felt relax and time flew without me noticing that a couple hours went by. It was a process to go from dark dark brown hair to the most amazing purple color you can get. Let me tell you, I'm in love with it! I don't think I will let anyone touch my hair again unless it's Kristi. Thank you so much for making me feel beautiful! Everyone there was so kind. I will definitely be back and sharing this place to my family and friends! read more

I was desperate for a hair cut on a work trip. I found this place on Yelp. The reviews were good. The place was a unique small business that I was eager to support. The shop was in a super cute part of town with a ton of great little shops. I made an appointment and they were very flexible with me. They specialize in curly hair and so I was really eager to see what they could do with mine. My stylist was kind and lovely. She washed, cut and styled my hair after taking the time to really get to know me and what I do with my hair. Her thoughtfulness and patience was helped me get exactly the haircut in was hoping for. read more

Heather was incredible. I was in nashville for a wedding, and was miles away from who usually does my hair. I've only gotten my hair specifically styled or had an updo, a handful of times. My experience with heather was unlike any other experience I've had for this type of service. It didn't seem like a job to her. She had a spark in her eyes, of a vision of what she wanted to see. I remember her opening her drawer really quick and grabbing a tool here and there, and how much it felt like the drawer was just getting in the way of her vision. She's someone who seriously likes to style hair. I'd recommend her if you'd like to go a little beyond! read more

So happy I found this place! It is a small salon in a fashionable strip mall, but it always feels clean and they space out the clients so you never feel rushed. I go to Sam, and I feel like she really wants to make sure I walk out of there with a style and color that I'm happy with, but that will grow out nicely. She is honest about what hair color techniques are realistic and which ones aren't and I appreciate that. She also has given me great tips on how I can keep my fashion color fresh without having to visit her every other week and saving me so money! Although I had several other salons on my yelp list, I don't think I'll be trying any of them as I'm happy with Sam at M Hair Studio! read more

M Studio is a small, neighborhood salon that offers a calming alternative to some of the larger salons around town. I live in the area and needed a stylist who could cut curly hair. I was lucky to find Sarah Birkedahl, who completely changed my curly hair maintenance for life. Sarah is a fellow curly girl and she introduced me to the world of Deva Curl and the Curly Girl Handbook. I have since thrown away all my old hair products and have stopped straightening my hair. The combination of the cut and new hair products have given me the confidence to go natural everyday. I highly recommend Sarah Birkedahl if your ready to embrace a curly-haired world. https://www.instagram.com/sarahbirkedahl/ read more

I love this neighborhood salon. I've been coming here for 3+ years. Sam always takes great care of me and today Kate fit me in and did a wonderful job. Clean and friendly studio. Highly recommend! read more

I used to go see Hannah, who was great with curly hair. Unfortunately, she's since left. I had one terrible experience here and it had to do with management. I was pregnant for the first time and had gotten the worst tension headache in my life, throwing up, couldn't stand, out of nowhere. I had to cancel last minute because the idea of keeping upright was impossible. At this point I had been going there for over a year. The owner, charged me the full amount of the haircut appointment. Hannah even asked the owner if it could be waived given my loyalty, but the owner still charged me in full despite me never cancelling last minute before. ZERO COMPASSION. It just left a bad taste in my mouth. I even asked the owner why she was doing this given my track record and she never replied to my e-mail. Hannah made up for it personally to me, but the business itself just zero response. I saw Hannah a few times after that until she left but feel no need to find a different hairstylist there just given the uncompassionate management. Find somewhere else. read more

I've followed Amanda from salon to salon, across the city, because I'm always so thrilled with her work. Her consultation before coloring/cutting helps me understand how the hair in a photo I show her will look on me, and she never just does just whatever I request. I had a disastrous experience at another salon a few weeks before my wedding -- I showed the colorist a photo that she, as the expert, should have steered me away from, and instead, I went from blonde to black. In tears, I reached out to Amanda. Not only did she make room for me the next day, she was able to get my color to a beautiful, natural ombre that I'm so pleased was captured in my wedding photos, without one comment about my mistake. I'll forever be grateful for her grace and expertise. She also styled my hair for the wedding, coming to my home the morning-of, and I get so many compliments on my hair in the photos. I book appointments in advance, so outside of the above emergency, I haven't scheduled last-minute appointments. However, I've been in the salon when others stop by or call to make day-of appointments, and they've been accommodated. This is the most calming, skilled salon I've been to. Amanda has shaped my long layers; chopped off 8 inches; colored my hair red, blonde and ombre; waxed my eyebrows; massaged my neck during the wash; and kept me feeling positive and proud. I look forward to appointments with great relish and hope you can have the same experience at M Hair Studio soon, too. read more

Mandi knows how to do some hair! I came in with a head that looked like a bird had nested in it, and she was able to tame my weave! I was skeptical, b/c I was so accustomed to getting my hair done from a friend who now lives in NYC and we were still in Chicago. So what I'm saying here people is that I hadn't gotten my hair cut in over a year. SAD I KNOW. Mandi came highly recommended. Girl knows her some hair. I went to her when she was at her old location off of Riverside. Guess what y'all? M Hair Studio has moved to bigger and brighter things! She's now off of Porter, in a bigger space. Right there next to Pomodoro E. I can't wait for her to work her magic on my hair again. Not all of you go at once... Hell ,actually, please don't go at once, I need to get my Mandi time in too. read more

My wife and I recently spent 1/2 day with Mandi and both walked away extremely impressed. Our cuts, styles, etc. are as good as it gets but there's a BIG plus. Mandi is actually a very cool, down-to-earth, knowledgeable and enjoyable human being. She is a great conversationalist (not too much nor too little). She listened intently to each of us and performed her craft in an exacting and precise manner. Small place, cool location, great results! We truly loved M Studio and Mandi and will be back soon! Looking for a great place and stylist, go to M and see Mandi!!! read more

Having just moved to Nashville from DC, I'd been putting off finding a new stylist. I desperately needed a trim and my eyebrows done, and I didn't want to make an awful mistake and pick the wrong stylist. However, after reading reviews for this salon online, I decided to take the plunge. I called and scheduled an appointment with Destini (I was really thrilled after reading the rave reviews about her!). When I got to the shop, I was impressed - it's small, but quaint - it has everything going for it, and fantastically friendly and talented employees. Destini took care of my eyebrows for me, and I mentioned I'd like to schedule a trim for the future (now that I'd tested the waters)! She had about 45 minutes between myself and her next client, though, and offered to take care of it then. We chatted a bit, and she really made me feel at home (we even discussed different braid styles). I can't wait to go back and get another cut - the prices were fabulous as well, but in the end, I felt valued and like if really found a "home" here in Nashville. Thank you so much! read more

Anna provided a great haircut, on a Sunday no less. The appointment was easy and convenient to schedule online. As a guy, there aren't a lot of recommendations for places to get a haircut; most guys tend to go wherever is close and cheap. I do that most of the time, but wanted to try a different haircut and didn't want to trust just anyone. Anna did a great job - she was very inquisitive and helpful as to what my hair could and could not do. I brought a picture and she worked from that. Overall a very pleasing experience. read more

If you have curly hair, you need to see Sarah at M Hair Studio. After years of weird texture, my curls have finally begun to grow back. I've never had someone care so much for my texture and help me learn the new steps I need to take to care for my curly hair. It felt extremely personalized and I could honestly tell Sarah gave a crap about every detail to make the transition to taking care of my curls smoother on me. Booking is super simple with Schedulicity - you get reminders and everything straight to your phone. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Believe the hype. I was a client at one of Nashville's finest salons, "Parlour and Juke". I was unable to get an appointment when I needed a haircut on short notice, so I went online searching for an alternative. Mandi had such incredible reviews, I thought I'd give it a shot. I had high expectations, and she completely delivered. Beyond her MAD skillz in the hair department, she's just a fun person to be around. If you're on the fence, get off and go see Mandi. read more

As a former Miss Nevada and runway model, I'm really particular about my hair and my branding. Since moving to Nashville two years ago, I've been terrified of letting someone else touch my hair, as I had the same hair stylist in Vegas for over 10 years. I've been to see Philana Goodrich at M Hair Studio for six months now and can honestly say I haven't been happier! She takes extreme care to ensure that her vision and recommendations align with your comfort level (not to mention, her head massages are bliss!) The minute I walk out of the salon, without fail, I get compliments. If you value the quality of your cut/color/styling and want consistently amazing results, you NEED to go see Philana! read more

I booked based off yelp reviews and was not disappointed. I have very thick, very curly hair which can be disastrous if not cut properly. Sarah did an incredible job and taught me so much about my own hair and how to optimally take care of it to make it look its best. It's incredibly hard to find someone that knows how to both cut and style curls, and I left with my hair looking better than it has in a long time. Plus, the price for the cut and style was awesome. I will definitely be back. read more

I just came for a basic eyebrow waxing. I'm new to the area so I haven't found a good place to go for this that doesn't cost an arm and a leg... salons usually are a safe bet so I gave this place a try. Monica was the woman who waxed my eyebrows and I am extremely disappointed in the quality service I received here. Shortly after I left I noticed my one eyebrow was extremely sore (which can occasionally happen when getting waxed) as soon as I touched it, it was incredibly painful so I looked in the mirror to realize that she had ripped/broken my skin and I was bleeding. I wish I had realized this before I left because I 100% would have complained then and there. I've been getting my eyebrows waxed for years and have never had any issues. I've gotten better and gentler service from divey/cheap nail salons. I unfortunately will not be returning for any services from this salon in the future. read more
