    Not only can Miyako slay long curly hair....she has the lock on short curly styles as well. I took a photo to her showing her what I wanted and she delivered 100%. She extremely attentive to the needs of each of her clients and will go over and beyond to ensure you are happy!! I'm extremely high-maintenance and over beyond picky so if Miyako can give me what I need/want as my stylist she can do it for anyone!! I highly recommend her for curly cuts, gray hair coverage and highlights...all of which she does for me with flaw!!

    Left: inspiration  Right: day after she did my hair

    I got my hair done by Miyoko on May 2. We messaged about my hair goals prior. Day of- We discussed what I wanted- curly cut & rooty balayage. Before, I sent her inspiration pics, most of which were of myself after a cut & color, so I knew that those results were achievable. I told her I knew I had dead ends but wanted to keep length. She asked about color & I asked her to refer to the pics, & keep it rooty & an ash tone. She had no further questions & didn't stop to clarify anything else with me. She didn't check with me about how much length she was cutting or if the color placement/tone was correct. Before she started, she offered to "teach me her curly routine". I agreed bc no stylist had offered that to me before. This "lesson" was nothing I didn't already know. As she styled my hair, I sat in horror at how much length she cut, & how the color, tone, & style was nothing like the pics I sent. I told her I was surprised at the short length, she said me it was "just bc your hair is curly" This is incorrect, she took away all of my length. The pics I sent her of myself all featured me as an ashy balayaged blonde with a money piece, & dark roots & bright ends. She didn't do this. Instead of rooty, she brought the color to the roots, instead of ashy, the color is a warm, brassy tone. There was no money piece, & no bright ends. It is the worst color & cut I have ever gotten. I was too shocked to even come up with anything to say in person, for fear I would cry. When it was time to pay, she broke down the costs- & to make this worse, she says it was extra for the curly cut bc it's my first one & she had to charge for the "lesson" She offered the lesson, & if she would have been transparent that it was an extra cost, I would've declined. When I questioned this, she backtracked & said she would have charged me the same amount since it was my first curly cut with her. I paid the bill, still shocked, & drove home in tears. I regret not saying more in person or refusing to pay for service. I am out a ton of money. After talking with my trusted stylists back home, & showing them pics of my goal hair & how it turned out, they were shocked and encouraged me to seek a refund since I no longer trusted her to correct it. One stylist told me it looked like she used box dye! I reached out to her and asked and she refused, but a refund was the only acceptable resolution seeing that she botched the services so bad, & all trust was gone. Throughout our conversation afterward, she was unapologetic, defended her work, & inflexible about a refund. She also pointed the finger at me, saying that I didn't make request clear bc I didn't say that I wanted dark roots & a money piece. I don't how much more clear you could be by providing example pics of yourself with those things as the reference! When I complained about the tone & even sent her a pic showing her how brassy it was, she said it was "just lighting". My hair should look good in ALL LIGHTING. She said it was all a "miscommunication" My communication was clear, my pictures were clear, & she as the stylist has the responsibility to clear up any confusion on her part before she permanently alters someone's hair. She did offer to fix it, which I explained to her was not an option. I asked "how can you fix my hair when you won't even admit that there is a problem?" She wouldn't admit fault or take accountability. I was calm in my correspondence with her, never said anything rude, kept it factual & just begged for a refund. She refused & "stands by her work" The cherry on top was that she, after being defensive & inflexible with me, told me that I was "harassing" & was "namecalling" This appeared to be a way to shift the conversation away from the issue at hand, & create an uncomfortable & extreme environment, so that I would disengage with her. I never harassed, & I never namecalled, & even said in that I thought she was nice & professional in person & how bad i felt about complaining. So I paid luxury prices to have my hair ruined & my character attacked. I am out hundreds of dollars & am worse off. You have been warned.

    I am someone who is weary of going to salons, especially because I have thin curls that can be hard to work with, but I highly recommend anyone with curly or color-treated/damaged hair to go see Miyoko! My hair was damaged by a different stylist, and Miyoko saved me and brought my hair back to life. She even took the time to educate me on how to properly care for and style my curls! She is incredibly kind and really knows her stuff. I am so happy with my hair and I feel like I found my savior!

    Red Gloss & curly cut

    Been seeing Miyoko about a year now and really love the journey my hair has been on. I hadn't cut my hair in years & I let her do her thing - she did not disappoint. Curly cut, balayage, and subsequent glosses have all been well done. My hair is healthy and happy. A big part of curly hair is knowing how to care for it. Miyoko recommended products that work for me and pair well with the drug-store products I also use.

    A perfect 'do

    I found Miyoko by chance when I walked into Tonic Salon and was handed a few business cards. I was desperately in need of a haircut (my last cut was pre-covid in May 2019). I looked up Miyoko's Instagram and immediately knew she was for me! She responded to texts immediately and scheduling was fuss free. I have fine curly hair that usually ends up looking like a poofy shaggy dog so I always end up heat styling (ahem, damaging) and avoiding haircuts at all costs. Enter Miyoko - the curly hair queen who has been cutting curly hair and helping women style their naturally curly locks before it was cool. I can honestly say she gave my hair new life. I got so many compliments (on my NATURAL CURLS - the curls I used to loathe) after she cut my hair. I will absolutely be back!

    Where do I begin... Mastered By Miyoko had a full schedule but I still decided on putting my name on the wait list (I typically don't do that). I put down that I was available at anytime between the days of June 12th to the 18th since I was leaving on the 20th for vacation. She texted me that same week and scheduled an appointment for June 10th. I get there and she is super friendly, talkative and acknowledging my opinions and cries for help lol regarding my hair. I was indecisive as to wanting to go shorter (my hair was basically on my shoulders and extremely damaged from all the bleach I got done previously). We decided on cutting some of the ends and keeping most of the length for a couple of days to see if that was truly what I wanted. She offered me to come back on the 14th if I truly wanted it shorter.. which I did. It was the best decision ever! I am extremely happy with the outcome! Even though I've never had my hair this short before, I do feel a lot better knowing it will grow healthier now. I think I finally found a curly hair stylist that I feel comfortable with styling and cutting my hair and like I mentioned before she is fantastic to talk to! She definitely help me distract myself from this crazy decision I was making but again it was all worth it! She is the girl to go to!!

Also, it's especially not cool when it's a hair donation for a kid. I understand life happens, but I drove 1 hr for this. The least you can do is inform me of a cancelation. Also, just to add, I was also getting charged for the cut too. So the stylist was suppose to get paid/tipped.

    I booked a double process touch-up with a senior stylist. After I booked, I was reassigned to a…read morestylist with no experience (Haley). I had not known that otherwise I would have rejected the appointment. My hair lifts easily, and Haley noted that. Despite that, she used too strong a developer and damaged my hair beyond belief. Not only that. She missed half of my head with toner. She noticed. And didn't tell me. She let me leave the salon with half of my head not toned. It's very noticeable from the back. I didn't see it at the appointment because she didn't show me the back - and now I know why. That's the worst of it, but she also didn't rinse my hair properly, so I still had product dried up and crusty in my hair. And she barely used any product while she blew out my hair on the highest heat, burning my scalp a couple of times and damaging my hair even more. And it was still a bit wet by the time I left. I'm usually pretty relaxed, so I didn't complain until after I went home and noticed that my head wasn't properly toned (which is also not that hard to do, I've done it myself during covid lockdowns - so it really is incredible that she messed up this bad and didn't say anything, hoping I wouldn't notice). Nothing about my experience with Haley was positive. Her work was incredibly sloppy, negligent, and dishonest. Edited to add (in response to Howie, the owner): You know the issue isn't with the toner itself - I did not see that she didn't do the back otherwise I obviously wouldn't have been "pleased". Again, you know this. I have a photo attached. You see how bad it is. I don't know why you're trying to act like that quality of service is okay. I didn't realize Red Chair's standards were so low, and I regret that I gave you all a shot :/ Also, I have to spend the holidays looking like this. So thanks for that.

    The people who work here are angels. I had a hair emergency that kept getting worse because every…read moresalon I contacted couldn't book an ASAP appointment and didn't seem to care. My hair had gotten so tangled that it was matted, I had really long hair that was difficult to manage. I was devastated by the thought of losing all my hair- I felt that mu femininity was wrapped up in having long hair. The empathy of the receptionist and stylist blew me away. They got me in for a consult the next day, showed genuine care and concern that made the awful situation seem less dire. I was reassured that I would not need a Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta haircut. I ended up really, really liking the cute cut they gave me- it made me not mind having short hair! The ladies at Red Chair rescued me from Hair Hell, and I am so grateful to them! Will be coming back for other services!
