    So all is I am going to say is after moving to the area and leaving a stylist in Oregon who I loved and who ALWAYS got it right... I struggled to find that same here. The stylists, although craftsman in their skill, just weren't hearing me, the color was not what I wanted and the $$$ spent trying to achieve it!!! It would have been cheaper to fly back to Oregon....until I found Randy! He discussed with me in detail, we shared pictures and expectations, and the process to "correct" the color, on the first visit. On the second visit- HE NAILED IT! Both cut and color are exactly what I was looking for. I am so lucky to have found him and Highly Recommend!!!!... just as along as he always has a standing appointment for me!

    After first balayage

    Randy is simply the best! I started seeing him about four months ago having never colored my hair before, and what he's accomplished is better than I could've dreamed. Before any dye touched my hair, we had a thorough conversation about the color I was going for, looking at reference images together, etc. He is a joy to spend time with, and he does a fantastic job of explaining what exactly he's doing to my hair at each step. I ask a lot of questions during my appointments and he always seems so excited to share his knowledge of and passion for hair! Not to mention, everyone else at Studio Salon & Spa (shampoo ladies, receptionists) is so friendly and welcoming. Could not recommend Randy and his salon more highly! Picture #1 is before Randy did anything to my hair; picture #2 is after first balayage appointment; #3 and #4 are after second balayage appointment with some added lowlights and gloss smudging.

    My experience with Randy was the best I've ever had with a hair stylist/colorist. He was extremely collaborative, gave honest advice and recommendations, and took the time to get to know me and my hair well. He explained the "why" behind what he was doing, which is both rare and so appreciated. He cared about increasing the health of my hair and recommended an Olaplex regimen, which he did ahead of my color. He even had me help play with color mixing to make sure I got the perfect shade. I'm officially a convert and Randy loyalist - can't imagine going elsewhere now that I've found hIm!

    Randy is amazing! I've been going to him for a few years now and I consistently have people stopping me to ask me about my hair and where I get it cut and highlighted. Today I saw Randy for a cut and highlight and I told him that I carry his business cards in my wallet because this happens so often. Then tonight my husband and I go out to dinner and some random guy from New Zealand walks up to our table and starts gushing to my husband about how beautiful my hair is! Randy is the real deal! Do yourself a favor and go see him! He is a master at hair color! Here's a pic of my hair before I walked out of the salon.

    Big shout out to Randy Meadows, best stylist in town! Been a client of Randy's for years now and heaven help me if he ever leaves the area! He's a genius chemist when it comes to color, and my cut is always personalized and elegant. Here's today's masterpiece. Thank you, Randy!!!!!

    I had an appointment with Kambiz at the salon. I wanted to start growing out my grey hair, but I didn't want that harsh delineation between the new grey and the old, at-home box brown coloring. Kambiz called me before the appointment. He asked what I was hoping for and listened. We swapped pictures, and we had a consultation at the beginning of my appt to make sure we were on the same page. I've never talked so much before getting my hair done, but WOW - it was the right call. Kambiz worked quickly but carefully to blend my old colored hair with the new gray growth. His personality and style put me at ease. The experience was so relaxing, I even fell asleep during one of the treatments. He gave me a quick cut and after all was said and done, I looked younger! He is a genius! Thanks, Kambiz!

    Randy has been my stylist for at least five years now, and he's by far the best stylist I've ever worked with. He's intuitive, up on the latest, and an artist with color. Never fails, whenever he finishes with my hair it always seems like it's the best cut and color I've ever had... and I walk out transformed. Thanks, Randy, for bringing out my better self!

    Randy working his magic on my red. :D

    Randy worked his magic again tonight! I followed Randy to Studio Salon from his last salon, and I couldn't be happier - only one other person has touched my hair since I moved to DC Metro in 2011, and trust me, I won't be making that mistake again! Reds are notoriously difficult (and apparently I'm a little picky ;) ) but Randy always makes me look and feel amazing.

    Randy never disappoints! As someone who had the same hairdresser from early childhood to my mid twenties, I was skeptical of trying someone new (especially when the referral came from my boyfriend). However, I am SO thankful I came to Randy because my hair has never looked better. He is so technically skilled and regularly attends trainings to make sure his techniques are cutting edge. His balayage and coloring techniques are on point and sophisticated. As someone with thick curly hair, I also know how hard it is to find someone who works well with curls, which Randy certainly does. He is patient and takes the time to listen to exactly what you want. He is also friendly, easy to talk to, and puts clients at ease, which is something I really appreciate. Overall, when you find someone who can master everything from a basic men's cut to a complicated curly-headed brunette to blond balayage, you know you have a keeper! If you're in the DMV area check him out, you won't regret it.

    My new cut and balayage by Randy Meadows

    I just had my first appointment with Randy, and I am so glad I did. I wanted something different to enhance my current hair style, which was a bob, bordering on a lob. I was feeling bored with it, and wanted more volume and pizzazz. I have always been intrigued by balayage but had never gotten it done before. Randy was awesome because he helped explain exactly what he would do before he was doing it and while he was doing it. This way there were no bad surprises at the end. He picked up on the fact that I wanted something that looked really natural and that I didn't want a high maintenance color/style. Well he gave me just that, and I look forward to coming back in for the fall to maybe add some other lowlights in. On top of giving me a great new hair style, Randy was a joy to talk to and was very down to earth and pleasant. Thank you!!

    American Wave on left - regular color, cut and blow dry on right. Both done by Randy. He's great.

And I tipped $20 for $280. Yet when I complained that it felt like a ripoff bacuse the work was so poor, he invented this new story that: (1) I received a "retouch on my roots" that I should have paid extra for (2) in a perfect world I should pay EXTRA (WHAT?) for bringing my own dye in (because Arctic Fox is so controversial??!?) (3) that "the area is expensive" (4) that apparently i need an ongoing longterm relationship to have a dye job that doesn't leave me feeling ripped off (5) that "we always have free dialog" so that "you can alawys get alterations to your service complimentary of course" -- this is the biggest sticking point. Oh really? You have a dialog for complimentary alterations? When I messaged my complaint directly on Yelp, there was no response. The same inbox that booked my appointments suddenly went silent. Why was I not offered free alterations if I don't like my service? BECUASE THAT'S A STORY YOU TELL ONLY ON YELP. THAT OPTION WAS NEVER GIVEN TO ME. This is a man who tells one story to the public, and another in private. Personally, I call that LYING and DISHONEST. ---- He then said "i DID WHAT WAS NEEDED" to explain a bad job that was unsatisfying. So was MICROWAVING FISH AND EATING IT IN FRONT OF ME needed? Because most of the work wasn't even done by you, it was done by a subordinate. Anyone with 1/2 a brain should be able to see the level of ego just dripping off his response. Now go look at the other people with unsatisfied balayages. They were smart enough to take pictures and you can see how terrible some of them are. I'm tempted to go dig up my pictures. ORIGINAL REVIEW: tbh i won't be returning after that $280 dye job + cut where you used the scissor to make like 2 cuts, and where i had visible roots walking out of the place, where it was obvious y'all just wanted me to go because you closed up afterward and were rushing me out. Yeah... as friendly as y'all were ... Visible roots?!?!? No discount for bringing my own dye? Literally every time a friend has come to my house i've had less roots than the one time i paid So what was the point of paying? There was none. I had a wedding emergency and a friend who stole hair products from me. I had no choice but to find SOMEBODY that day. Everyone loves my hair, but i feel ripped the f off. P.S. If you update your response to my review again, i WILL go dig up the pictures and attach them.

    So I first off want to clarify that I was fortunate enough to win their Instagram balayage…read moregiveaway. But I swear that despite that, my review is 100% completely honest!! So when I went in, I already had blonde hair but I hadn't gotten it done since Thanksgiving so my naturally dark hair was peeking through in my roots. My blonde was also very warm and a little bit lackluster (just because it had been months since I last got it done!). So I knew going in that I really wanted to brighten my hair and give it a little refresh. I wanted a little more blonde and was hoping to add some more dimension. One of the owners, Melanie, did my hair. Starting off, I felt totally at home and comfortable. She grabbed me a Diet Coke and spoke with me about my hair and asked what I was looking for. I wanted to be realistic and I wanted to ensure that my hair would last until graduation (I graduate college in seven weeks). She was quick and efficient! We chatted about all sorts of things and honestly the three hours went by so fast!! The head massage/wash was so wonderful and relaxing. I've been wanting to go here for years (been following the account since freshman year) and I'm so glad I finally got the chance! My hair is stunning and Melanie is truly a star. I am so confident and just really appreciated the whole process. Grateful for this and super happy with my final look!

    I was a client here for years and worked with two different stylists. Unfortunately, both…read moreexperiences were disappointing and ultimately damaging to my hair. The first stylist showed little concern for hair health. My hair became severely damaged, and the highlights were poorly done--harsh, with straight lines and clearly visible foil marks. Even after going back for a touch-up, the work never improved. I switched to a second stylist for balayage, hoping for better results. On my most recent visit, I came in only for a toner and specifically asked for a golden honey blonde. Instead, I left with a dark, cool brown color that was the complete opposite of what I requested. Before I even left the salon, the stylist and other staff were trying to wash the color out, which made it clear it was wrong. The stylist knew I was unhappy, but I had a work event that night and had no real option but to leave. I called the salon the next day to have it fixed and was told there was no availability for two weeks. When I finally came back in, the stylist didn't even dry my hair--so there was no way to properly see whether the color had been corrected. Overall, this salon is overpriced, stressful, and inconsistent. Given the cost, I expected professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for client requests. I did not receive that and would not recommend this salon.
