Excellent salon with friendly, professional staff. If you prefer a smaller, more intimate salon, this just might be the one for you. I went there for the first time recently & couldn't be more pleased. Puni Marie listened to me and offered suggestions. I might add that she also gave me a dynamite shampoo & hairstyle. I felt welcomed, and the experience was so relaxing. read more

I showed a picture of how I like my hair and described my hair. No part of the cut is even, it looks absolutely nothing like the picture! This was not a good experience!! read more

Puni is an absolute lifesaver and amazing stylist!!! After a scheduling misunderstanding this past Saturday afternoon, she stayed after her last clients to give me the blowout I had scheduled. Not only was that so incredibly nice for her to do, the blowout itself was outstanding. She was meticulous about getting my roots absolutely straight and did pin curls so all I had to do was take out the pins before my event and voila! - my hair looked AMAZING!!! Thank you so much Puni!!! read more

Michael did a good job with the haircut. However it was a challenge to get the new client special that's still listed on the website. He was gonna charge me full price until I asked for the discount. There was also another 10% email discount that I didn't even mention, since I barely got the first one. He said he wasn't in charge of the website. Well it's false advertising if you're posting discounts you don't want to give to customers. read more

Went in to get partial highlights like I've been doing for years now. Recently moved and this place had a groupon and good reviews. I left and it doesn't look like anything was even done to my hair... Over $100 later... Maybe they do things differently here but usually when I get my hair done, I can't see my roots for another few weeks. But here are my roots about 24 hours... NOT RIGHT. I posted a picture to the pictures. I gave two stars because they told me where to park and explained where the salon was because it's not obvious. read more

M Studio - After getting my highlights done... Why are my roots showing so far. Does it look like I just got my hair done to you?? - Hair Salons Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

I got my hair done with Carol. And she did and amazing job!!! Finally I found someone who did exactly what I asked for. It is so hard to find a good hairstylist and I am so happy I found her. I brought extensions with me and explained what I wanted and she executed my hair to perfection. I drove all the way from Arlington and it was totally worth it. read more

Glad I found Michael when I moved to the DMV area. He listens to my ideas and it shows in the end results. He makes sure you feel comfortable and his prices are fair. His studio is walking distance to the metro. read more

I hate getting my hair cut. It seems every stylist I go to has no clue how to style and cut my extremely curly hair. I went to see Liz and after explaining what I wanted and showing her a picture she informed me Balayage would be the best bet, so we went for it. For some reason after the procedure my hair was the exact same color- it didn't take. So she offered to try foils instead, which worked perfectly. She was very patient and took the time to do what I wanted right. I did get a little lost at first, since the building name says Lux Studio but M Studio is right inside. read more

Like a past reviewer said... This place is a hidden gem! We recently moved here from Nyc & I haven't found a great salon yet so I bought a groupon & tried this salon yesterday. I can't say enough about how lovely both Mario & Michael are! I'm Persian & have really thick coarse hair & it's not easy to blow out perfectly... But Mario did a fabulous job! He really makes sure he understands what you want & follows it through to the end. He's really talented & just makes you feel your best. You actually don't even need a groupon because they have great deals already & are very reasonable! Their salon is quaint, super clean & just feels great overall. So excited to have found a wonderful salon that will be my only go to place now! Thanks M & M! read more

Michael is amazing. I bought a living social voucher for 2 blowouts, and went in for the first one today. The salon is very clean and comfortable. Michael sprayed my hair with Moroccan oil before blow drying it, which made it smell amazing. When he was finished, my hair looked great. It's not like me to write more than one review, but I got the Keratin treatment here on 1/18/13 and after reading about Jennifer's experience, I had to share my own. I bought the Living Social deal for it. Michael and his associate Mario put in the Keratin after discussing the different options (this was my first treatment). There weren't any problems. Michael explained the rules for maintaining it, and sold me the proper shampoo and conditioner. No problems. read more

As always, I stay loving M studio. Liz did a wonderful job on my hair. She has an intuitive sense for what someone wants. I barely described what I wanted -- but it be lookin gr8. Check me out yallz. read more

Weeks later & I'm still getting compliments! Had to leave a review confirming that Liz Song's balayage & cut was everything I hoped for and more. She was honest with me about the length that would look best and gave me exactly what I wanted with color. The groupon was a great deal- definitely worth the ride on the red line, especially because it was so close to the Bethesda stop. read more

After ~10 years of having my natural hair color, I decided to try balayage. I was scared and nervous, but Liz Song did a GREAT job on my hair, as well with the cut and blow dry. I did have a few freak out moments and thought about dying my hair all black again, but after about 30 min, calmed down and realized how good it looked. The color is both subtle and sophisticated. I rarely ever go to the salon because no one actually does what I ask, so it was a nice change to have someone who 1. gave me great ideas for color and 2. actually cut and styled my hair the way I wanted. read more

Michael is amazing. I've been going to him for probably seven or eight years now. I trust him with all facets of my hair - and while I think he is great at everything, I absolutely love what he does with color. He takes the time to really learn your hair, your routine and your face shape to deliver the best look for you. His blowouts last me three days with a little dry shampoo on day three. Michael always has a great staff surrounding him and it's always a fun, jovial environment. I trust him with anything from a blowout to keratin to color and even wedding styles. M Studio provides amazing hair care at an affordable price! read more

Absolutely phenomenal! Thank You Liz. Knew exactly what I wanted before my girls night. Perfect blow out and trim. Will be coming back.

Never been to a hair studio to get my hair done, usually do it from a box at home or let it grow naturally. Honestly, I've never been happier with my hair. Got a Balayage from Liz. Love her and Justine! read more

Michael is a hair magician! He did a gorgeous job with my daughter's hair style for prom.

Specifically asked for my hair to be cut long on top and the sides. Even showed picture of what I wanted. Michael cut it way too short - wish I could wear a stocking cap for the next few weeks. read more

I was here last week and got my hair done by Carol. She's a newer stylist but an amazing one. Carol hasn't been in the trade long but she definitely knows what she's doing. I got full highlights, blonde and brown and cut and blow dry and I LOVE IT! I recommend everyone to make an appt with her. I will be returning to this lovely salon. read more

GORGEOUS color, cut, and conditioning treatment by Liz Song. I came in with multiple colors in my overly stressed, damaged hair, ranging from auburn to brown to black. I told Liz I wanted silver hair with dimensions, eventually, but would like to go as light as possible this session. Gave her a bit of history about my hair which included Japanese straightening treatments every 3-4 months, and to this, she advised that she would try to get my hair as light as possible with as little damage as possible. We decided on a conditioning treatment after everything's done. We had open communication every step of the way. After lightening, she noticed the colors pulled very well and shared what could be possible at this point. She showed me a picture of an ashy (gray) brown color and I loved it. It came out beautifully! And OMG the conditioning treatment was SUPERB! Such a difference in my hair from when I walked in. The cut was quick and easy. THANK YOU, Liz! I will be back! read more

Mario was great yesterday! I bought a groupon for a Keratin Treatment and was a bit nervous given the controversy over the chemicals involved. I was also nervous because I recently had a bad balyage experience and the ends of my hair are fried, which Keratin is supposed to help in the mending of, but nonetheless I was still nervous. Mario gave a great consultation. He asked great questions and had a lot of feedback and suggestions. Mario even took pictures of my hair that he plans on giving to his colleague to help find a solution to my color disaster (that's customer service folks!). We soon decided on the level of Keratin to use, and proceeded. He was very gentle, gave a great shampoo, a very soothing blow dry, and most importantly, he never tugged, pulled or raked the comb through my hair which previous hairstylists have lazily done in the past. The finished product looked beautiful. I bought the recommended shampoo and conditioner, was given all of the post treatment care instructions, and he even advised me not to cut my dead ends until I shampoo, condition, and flat iron my hair a few times, as the conditioner should help to mend some of those ends. Most stylists would have suggested a cut right then and there. I have yet to test the integrity of the treatment as today was not humid, but I have it in good faith that my hair will not succumb to frizz! Thank you Mario! read more

I don't want the world to find out my secret because then I'll have to wait months for an appointment but here goes. I love Michael. I found him a few years ago and had Keratin done and it's just amazing the differences with him. First, he gets it done rather quickly - under 2 hours as opposed to other places where I've spent as much as 5 hours in a chair. And just because he's time efficient doesn't mean you get a sloppy job, quite the opposite. He really spends time getting every single little wayward hair ironed down so that you can have the next several months frizz-free. He has another person in the salon, Mario, and he's just as careful with the same attention to detail. I've also had cuts at the salon and that also came with outstanding results. So so so happy to have found M Studio and won't get Keratin done anywhere else! read more

I highly recommend visiting M Studio! I have never been disappointed with a haircut from Liz Song. My appointments always start on time, and customer service is great. read more

I bought the groupon deal and had Mario do my keratin. I loved it! I have been having keratin treatment for a very, very long time. Mario was careful and attentive to details. I have long hair with tight curls and he took his time. My hair was very soft, healthy and shiny after. The GK product they use doesn't get my hair as straight as others. But it is a great treatment that makes my hair manageable, my curls looser and much easier to handle. I loved Mario, I have been to many other places in the area. Unless I want it straight and would opt for a different product, I'll for sure go back there! read more

I got my hair done last week by M studio. My hair looks okay but the customer service was horrific. The stylist was 20 minutes late to start my hair, ordered a pizza with her co-workers and couldn't even be bothered to finish my hair. She just asked if I wanted some finishing products. After I paid, she couldn't even be bothered to say goodbye. She was clearly more interested in eating pizza than dealing with customers. I won't be going back. read more

I bought a Bloomspot voucher for M Studio on a whim because the salon is conveniently located near my office. I booked an appointment at M Studio because I was attending a graduation over the weekend. I guess it was a little brave of me to get a haircut at a place I had never been to right before an event, but I did not regret it. Michael did a fantastic job on my hair and was able to transform my description of "4 inches off with long layers" into exactly what I was looking for. He and his assistant Mario were very friendly. A few weeks later, I also received a birthday postcard from the salon in appreciation of my business. I definitely plan to return. read more

First of all if you are looking for fancy fancy deco like Zohra or Ira Ludwick this is not the place BUT the service here is far beyond. I'm very picky with my haircut and I don't mind pay top dollars for good service but I came here because I'm tried from BS from the fancy salon. Carol did an AMAZING job compare to any senior stylish at Ira and for price that less than half (sham on you Ira). I LOVE my cut, my color and I'm going back next week to get highlight. They are small place but AWESOME!! Keep on good work!! read more

I went to Michael for about a year for hair cuts after buying a deal online. He did such a fantastic job EVERY time. I referred many of my friends to him for hair cuts and color. Many have become regular customers and thanked me over and over for referring him. I only stopped going because my husband's job was transferred to another state. read more

Mario was fantastic--he took time to understand what I wanted, how I styled my hair, and was more than pleasant throughout the entire thing. I'm happy to go back! read more

I always dread when it's time to get my hair done. I hate spending a ton of money with a new stylist only to hate it. I figured getting a groupon would be a good way of trying someone new and I am thankful that I did. Carol has been the best stylist thus far!!! I get my roots and highlights done and nobody ever nails the right shade of blonde highlights. Ever. But Carol did and I am so happy!!! As everyone has told me - this is the best my hair has looked in a LONG time!! And this newly unemployed and single girl finally has something to smile about!!! Carol rocks! read more

Michael is great. If you look at my previous yelp reviews in Bethesda, you'll see I've had some horror stories... As you can imagine, I was pretty skeptical going in. Michael was professional and the staff was friendly and even though I came in with dead, damaged hair, I left with a gorgeous new cut and some confidence again. I plan on going back very soon for some color! Thanks so much Michael! read more

This disheveled 6 month pregnant woman was fortunate enough to get a same day appointment with CAROL. Walked in looking a HOT MESS with wayyyyy too grown out highlights, split ends, and low self esteem. Walked out with PERFECT color, AWESOME cut, lookin all kinds of sexy n fabulous! I told her what i wanted for color, and showed her a picture of the cut. I ended up looking better than what i had pictured in my mind! Carol listens, is attentive to your needs, talented, professional, and very sweet. I will definitely be coming back for maintenance! Carol my dear.....THANK YOU! :-* ***located inside LUX STUDIOS, right around the corner from Bethesda Metro station. read more

I had a great experience at M Studio; I had some highlights and a haircut done. Michael, the stylist, knew which highlight color would work best for my Asian hair, and the highlights really made the haircut look great. On the same weekend that I went to the salon, I received compliments from two random people who didn't know I went to the hairdresser's! I will definitely go back there regularly. read more

I went to see Liz Song, based upon the reviews here, and I can honestly say that I am so glad that I did! Liz really listened to what I wanted ... a blend of color helping to maintain a pretty and healthy look, with hard to cover gray roots. She did a combo of highlights and balayage and the result is terrific ... and will not be hard to maintain. I am definitely going to be her regular customer, and when my daughter graduates/comes home from college, I'll be introducing her to Liz too! Five stars are not enough for M Studio! read more

Where do I begin? My first time to M studio and I walk in and am greeted with all smiles and a great welcome from Annum. She was spectacular! I can honestly say I don't remember the last time I had a hair trim/cut due to time restraints and Annum completely brought it back to life. She did my highlights perfectly to blend in very naturally with my dark hair. She then did exactly what I asked of her and cut my seemingly endless split ends off and put layers in to give it a lot of volume. All I can say is I couldn't be happier with my partial highlights and cut! I will definitely be back! read more

I recently moved to the area and have been in search of a stylist gifted at great blowouts. I have found the one! Annum at M Salon was so pleasant, professional and courteous. Her blowout was amazing. I will definitely be back again and again!!! read more

I'm a livingsocial/ bloomspot/ groupon addict and I stumbled upon M studio when I purchased a livingsocial deal for 4 blowouts with M Studio. Ever since then, I've become a fan of Michael Nunez and M Studio. I personally think the best part of M Studio is the customer service. The people that work there are amazing individuals that excel in the service they provide not only because they are skillful and detail oriented but also because they provide such service with great attitude and attentiveness. Services I can vouch for: keratin treatment, blow dry and women's haircut. read more

I had my appt. with Michael this Tuesday for what I thought was gonna be a simple hair color and blow out! Upon meeting Michael and him analyzing my hair and what I wanted done, he let me know that although it was possible, it would not give me the exact results I wanted. I really appreciated his honesty and the fact that he did everything he could to get me as close to the color I wanted! And he did!! The color is beautiful and looks natural! I've received nothing but compliments! It's also good to note that M Studio offers reasonable, competitive pricing! I can honestly say this was my best salon experience yet. His honesty and knowledge of hair care (and wonderful personality) created a wonderful experience! Thank you Michael!!! read more

I've gone to both Mario and Michael for blowouts, and they've gone above and beyond to make my hair look phenomenal for my special events. Aside from being talented, they are great guys and I thoroughly enjoyed my appointments! I will certainly be back. read more

This is a really nice little shop with great service. Got a keratin treatment there and they definitely took their time and did a great job. Would definitely recommend! read more
