The salon is also adorable inside and I had some wine while my hair was under the heat lamp. It felt like complete luxury while getting top notch service.

She was incredibly friendly and personable from the moment we met, making the whole experience feel comfortable and fun. The blowout itself was absolutely amazing, easily a 10/10 and honestly one of the best I've ever had. I loved it right away, but what impressed me even more was how it looked even better as the day went on. I received so many compliments! I'm beyond happy with the results and so excited to have found someone great in the neighborhood. Thank you, Lily! :)

I've been seeing Mitra for about a year now and she always kills it! I love being a blonde but I…read morealso like to experiment with different variations of blonde and Mitra always makes it happen. She listens to me, looks at my inspo, and offers her professional opinion. She's also incredibly fast and kind. She's done a full head of highlights, cut & blow out in a few short hours. She's an artist and a friend. Thank you, Mitra!! The vibe of the whole salon is really friendly and welcoming. I always enjoy my time here. Easy parking across the street and a nice selection of beverages.

When I made my appointment at Miakel Bishay Salon, I specifically requested to be paired with…read moresomeone experienced in cutting long bobs because I knew the style I wanted required skill and precision. I wanted a shorter bob in the back and longer in the front. Since this salon is expensive, I trusted that I would be in professional hands. Unfortunately, my experience with Mitra Jam was extremely disappointing and honestly devastating. The first time she cut my hair, it did not look anything like the haircut I asked for. When I explained that I did not like how it looked, she cut even more trying to "fix" it, and it ended up way too short while still not looking like the style I wanted. I also mentioned that I wanted some volume removed from my hair, but instead of blending it properly, she started cutting random chunks throughout my hair. Now, weeks later, I still have pieces sticking out that are barely about an inch long. There is no way to blend them or style them naturally. I literally have to use gel just to keep those pieces down because they stick out everywhere. I truly believe that if someone is not experienced or confident doing a certain type of haircut, they should not perform it. It is honestly unbelievable to pay this much money and leave with your hair completely ruined. Despite everything, she was kind and told me that if I wanted her to fix anything, I could come back. But realistically, she cannot uncut my hair. I normally do not leave negative reviews, but this experience genuinely affected me and I would not want someone else to go through the same thing.

There's also plenty of free street parking, which is a huge plus. She was a doll, I called last minute with a self inflicted hair emergency and she was able to book me two days later! I came in for a dry cut because I desperately needed long layers. Nik absolutely delivered. She gave me the glammed-out layers of my DREAMS. I mean Va Va VOOM FACE FRAMING LAYERS! I am obsessed! I came in with clean, blow-dried hair (styled how I normally wear it) so she could see exactly what I wanted, and she understood the assignment. I have THICK hair, and she handled it like a queen. She gave me the full Victoria's Secret-era haircut I've always wanted. Truly the thick-hair layering queen! I'm obsessed and will definitely be coming back.

The stylists I've had did an amazing job (Liz, Kyung) so when I booked appointments it would be based on availability. That said, this last session with Rose was so revelatory the angels sang, trees danced and for the first time in my life I didn't want to go home and restyle my blowout. The blending and toning is immaculate and every highlight chunk is perfectly placed. She's a fine artist who paints with thought and intention to what looks best on you! Also she's a sweetheart and a blast to talk to so the hours went by like nothing. It's also woman-owned, not that I'm a feminist or anything but it's nice to support. Highly recommend, y'all!

I had a fantastic hair appointment with Nancy. Let me get…read moreinto the details... I had booked her last year around November/December, but I totally kept changing dates due to just having a very busy work/mom schedule. Well the time came and Nancy was so kind to remind me about my appointment. I finally was free and went ahead and got my hair done. It came out soooooo amazing! So many compliments too. When I walked into the salon one the hairdressers greeted me warmly and guided me to sit where Nancy normally works with her clients. I felt really warm vibes immediately. Once Nancy arrived (I arrived extra early) she began her magic. But during the process, the gentle approach and her attentive ability to communicate and lather my hair gently sold me. Usually you're used to being splashed here and there, well my experience with other hair dressers. I was surprised I didn't get much water in my ears which is a problem for me since I have ear sensitivity and I'm just used to getting ready and embracing for the worse. I didn't get a wet back at all and I didn't feel rushed ever. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Do you know how hard it is to find a hair dresser with great hospitality service? Yeah this one is a gem. I really recommend stopping by or booking with Nancy. 1000/1000.

I took my elementary school age daughter here today for a cut and they did a fantastic job. She's not one to sit still but they were cool with her using a fidget toy while they cut her hair.

They have magazines which is cool to see in this day and age. The staff is awesome and the salon dog is super sweet. As with so many others along this stretch - Ocean Hair Studio is a great local business. Grateful to have them in our neck of the woods z
