We will back soon.

For my ten year old, who is a little anxious about doing stuff about her hair, she was completely out at ease by Astrid, and they both worked on a look that would suit her face.

We give her five stars!!!

It was my daughter's prom and she needed an updo. Unfortunately Lauren sends me the attached text message a few hours before our appointment and says she cannot see us as "her booking system never updated and she was unavailable". I couldn't believe she contacted me hours prior to cancel our appointment! Ridiculous to see she also charges 40% of the fee if you were to cancel prior. So beware booking with her as she may not be available the day of.

Glam Studio is located in studio #6 in the Sola Salon. There is no signage on the door, so I had a…read morehard time finding it, until I researched online again to try and identify which unit # it was in. My appointment was at 7 pm, but when I opened the door to the studio, the stylist, Lauren, asked me to wait outside on a bench around the corner since she was with another client. I wasn't called in until about 7:30. Lauren was friendly and talkative, and asked me some questions about how I normally style my hair and what I wanted to do with it. My requests were pretty simple, just a trim and some layers. I had purchased a Groupon that included cut, deep treatment, and styling. She asked if I wanted her to curl my hair to see what it would look like styled and I said yes (because styling was included with my Groupon). My hair cut was fine, nothing amazing, but not bad. I was disappointed with my experience for a few reasons. 1) I have never waited so long for a hair appointment after my scheduled time, and I was really hoping to be done sooner so I could go home and help put my kid to bed. 2) I normally get a hair wash before my hair cut at other places. I saw reviews on Groupon that they got a shampoo, but Lauren didn't wash my hair. It was a dry cut situation. 3) I was supposed to get a deep treatment, but didn't get that either. I thought the deep treatment was supposed to be a conditioning treatment of some sort after a shampoo, but I guess not. She did use some kind of spray (I think dry shampoo or hairspray?) and some oil for shine. 4) If you are one to prefer being around people that wear masks, you should know that Lauren doesn't wear a mask while working on your hair. There was another client in the studio that also didn't wear a mask.

Veka took a look at my hair and we looked through some pictures for an idea of what color my hair would turn out with the current colors I had already had. We ended up deciding on a dark brown to caramel ombre. I wasn't expecting anything much, as I knew my hair was RED with bleached highlights. 3 hours later....my hair came out gorgeous! Good thing Veka took before and after pics, because I literally couldn't believe my eyes. My hair was now a perfect brown. I seriously still haven't figured it out. My conclusion is just that Veka is a genius when it comes to color and I'm completely in love with my new hair.

Veka is a greedy salon owner who only cares about money and not her customers and shauntee or Ashanti is her Road dog who just follows her lead even though she knows the truth. Ulises is a wanna be manager. Probably family. No joke run as far away. They are scammers and sell horrible Fake hair. Clips In are better quality and only cost a few hundred. My dog has better hair. See pic does no justice. If you could feel it you would be traumatized. A salon being empty on a Saturday afternoon should of told me something. Look at the hair bought from a beauty supply hair and look at 1st Ave salon hair. Disgusting.
