I walked in on a Sunday, end of July, hot outside. "I want something short." I waited for about 5 minutes, while I pulled up pics of short cuts on my phone. Chi was great- looked at the pics, smiled and said "that's short" and in no time my 15" long hair was down to 3"! And- it looks great! (and my husband loves it!!!) Thanks Chi, I'll be back, and I'll make certain to tell all the folks at work about this great place I found! read more

Food near by if your hungry after a long appointment. Multiple services they have to offer. Warm and welcoming as well! Go go go ;) read more

Stumbled in to this neighborhood salon to get my daughters haircut and decided to then get my own cut and color. It had been a long time since my last hair appt because I no longer wanted to pay $200+ for a cut and color to only put my hair in a ponytail every day. Michelle chose a great overall color for me and highlighted it with blond... I had never put blond in my mousy brown hair and was super apprehensive, even after she had revealed the color I still wasn't sure about it, but once out of the salon I received compliments from everyone I knew. I have been back twice now for touch ups and trims. Michelle always greets me with a smile and is very personable. She also listens closely to what my needs are for my hair and has done a great job every time. read more

I've gone to Ysabel for years for haircuts. She is a pro with long hair. My 22 year old daughter goes to her as well and has been very happy. She lives in Boston but gets her haircut when she is home because she hasn't found anyone as talented and reasonable as Ysabel. My 18 year old son just had the best haircut he's ever had from Chi Vu the salon owner. I highly recommend V Studio! read more

I book a same day appointment. I got lucky because it was a busy day and they were short staff. Chi cut my hair exactly like I was hoping he would. I love it. Chi is also funny as heck! Super nice guy. I will be back again. read more

Chi did my hair and I love the results! Great job with the cut and color, it's a perfect ombré read more

After trying to decide where to go to finally do something different to my hair decided on this place due to the high reviews and was not disappointed. Michelle did my hair. I wanted something different, something like a purple/red balayage but in the end we picked out a purple. It turned out great and I got lots of compliments on it. It did turn out brighter than I anticipated but worked well with my dark hair and is really only very bright in sunlight. She blow dried and curled my hair after (much quicker and nicer than I can do myself). Price was very reasonable. Color stayed through my first wash which I previously had a problem with when I got my hair done somewhere else. read more

Michelle did my hair and makeup for a large fundraiser gala, and she did terrific! Prices were very reasonable and her styling skills are so versatile! She was also very friendly and communicated very well with me, always making sure I was getting the style I wanted. I will definitely return. Thanks Michelle! read more

Thanks to the talented Chi Vu, there are no more "bad hair" days. If you want the perfect cut / style / color, then look no farther than V Studio in Walnut Creek. Ask for Chi, and you will leave the salon as a very happy client! read more

Really appreciated how sweet they were in giving my one-year-old his first haircut ever. My son pretty much lost it, but the stylists were calm and still managed to give him a good cut. Thank you! read more

I was overdue for a haircut and wanted some color before an upcoming trip. Michelle was awesome! She fixed my hair by clipping damaged ends, added red copper balayage. Color was her suggestion and I love it! I will see her in 6-8 weeks! read more

I've been a client of Chi's since two salons ago and I'm really excited that he has opened up his own salon! He has never failed to please with his styling skills! My mother-in-law has even decided to come up here from Sunnyvale when she needs to get her hair done after her first appointment with him. Chi actually listens to what you describe and follows through, always delivering amazing results. Also, the staff is warm and friendly. And another plus is that this salon is equipped with one of those cute little car chairs for young children hair cuts! How cute! read more

I came in for a hair color. Vi did my hair and I must say, he did an awesome job! He is friendly and attentive (unlike other salons that I've been to). Reasonable price as well. I'd recommend this place to anyone! read more

Michelle is fantastic. I'd put off getting a haircut for the better part of a year but needed to get one for a marketing photo for my job. My parents, who live in the area, recommended V-studio as they'd heard great things. I was apprehensive, as I always am before a haircut, because I'm not good at telling the stylist what I want yet am pretty picky about my hair. This time I brought a few example photos and told Michelle I needed a cut that works with my hair texture and requires NO product and basically no styling beyond combing it. Easy, right? Just poop me a unicorn and I'll be happy. Anyway, Michelle listened to me and translated my vague ramblings into an awesome haircut that gets me compliments every day. I blow it dry for 1-2 minutes max upside down with no styling tool and THAT'S IT. Sometimes I just air dry it after combing with a pick. Her cutting skills are just superb. She is careful and conscientious in her approach and her rates are very reasonable. I live 2.5h away but schedule my haircuts around visits to my family. No need to find someone in my area as long as I can get in to see Michelle. Would ask her to do a short cut for me in a heartbeat -- she's that good and also seems to be a genuinely nice person. Edited to add: I will choose Michelle for my wedding hair and makeup. It's nice to be able to have confidence in a person's skills when I have none of my own in this area... read more

I highly recommend this place. Great location, great customer service. They greeted everyone and knew a lot of the regulars by name. They listen to you, take time and do things the right way. Very attentive with the cut. read more

Chi has been cutting my boys hair for a few years now and they won't go anywhere else!!! He's the best. Just took my mom for a haircut and she's over the moon happy thank you Chi read more

Ok, I at the risk of sounding like a snob, I will tell you not to book an appointment with Celest. I am sorry, I really am, but here is why: I made an appointment to get a trim and a re-layer. I went in, it was an ok experience.. one thing I did not like is that as she cut, she also scrunched your hair. I have never seen anyone do that before. So, I went on with my day, I noticed that my layers were uneven and VERY close to each other.. i am talking about a quarter of an inch between longest layer and shortest layer. I called and asked for an appointment to make the layers more noticeable, she fit me in the very next day. The next morning, I flat ironed my hair and noticed that my layers were very very uneven, there were parts of my hair that were over an inch longer than the same area on the opposite side. I pointed this out to her when I went in, I TRUSTED that she would be able to correct the problem, however I when I left my hair was even MORE uneven.. AND the layers were extremely choppy. I was even asked by some of my coworkers if I tried to cut my hair myself... people.. save your hair and your money. I now have to go and pay again to get this fixed. read more

Got my hair done today, of course by my favorite stylist, Chi V. He is honestly, hands down, one of the most talented hair stylists I have been too and I will definitely stay with him for awhile. He always impresses me, especially this time. I was a little iffy since I don't like my hair to be so vibrant but I am starting to love it. It just shows his talents so much as well. He can do almost anything to your hair and transform you into a new person. I definitely recommend him if you go here. I know the young woman that works here does great hair as well she also does bridal/formal hair and makeup. I looked through some of her pictures when I was waiting for the dye to set in and she looks like she does pretty great work. I recommend anyone to go here. They even have a cute little car for kids to sit in while they get their hair cut. They also have complimentary cookies, tea, and water. Can't wait to see what my next look will be! read more
