I've been going to Theory for a while now and I could not be happier. Makenna has been my stylist…read moreand does an amazing job on my curly hair plus coloring I've had done. She always listens to what I'm thinking of doing and will always give her honest and professional opinion on it. (Which is great, because if something won't work with my hair the way I'm hoping it will - she def lets me know!) She is so polite and makes the appointment so relaxing. My daughter gets her hair done by Scout. She adores her. Scout listens to what she'd like and helps her understand her hair better with cuts, how to take care of it and more. My daughter always leaves extremely happy after her appointments. If you're looking for a fun place to get your hair done, I would def check out Theory Collective. Every person I've interacted with here has always been great.

Extremely disappointing experience, especially considering the owner herself performed the service…read more I paid over $300 for a partial highlight and left with hair that was visibly stripey, poorly blended at the root, uneven in tone, and much darker/brassier than requested. There were yellow and greenish sections, muddy areas, and an overall unfinished result. This looked nothing like the seamless neutral blonde I asked for or what I have consistently received from many other stylists. I contacted the salon promptly within the timeframe listed under their Service Guarantee. Instead of taking accountability or offering a reasonable resolution, Ashley insisted no refund would be given under any circumstances and stated that the website reflects this policy. However, the website does not state no refunds. It states that they stand behind a guarantee to make concerns right within 5 days. She said the most she would do for me to "make it right" is put another gloss over it. A gloss does not correct poor blending, stripey foil placement, or hair that did not lift properly. Those are service execution issues, not minor toning issues. What is most concerning is that this response came from the owner. When the owner is unwilling to acknowledge an obviously poor result or stand behind premium-priced work, it says a lot about the business. For over $300, I expected professionalism, skill, and customer care. I received none of those.

Worst service I've ever received and a complete and utter lack of professionalism here. Tried to…read moregive this salon a second chance after they cancelled my appt day of for a previous visit. And, I kid you not, they texted me the morning of my appt, again, to tell me they needed to reschedule my appt. After alerting them that this was the second time in a row this had happened, they gave me a cancellation slot for 4pm, which I accepted. At 3:45pm, I get a text that they need to move my appt to 4:30 because they are running behind. I accept. When I'm finally seen at 5pm, Chris is cranky that he's covering someone else's appt and it's clear he wants to go home. When he realizes that I need a color correction, I believe he almost had a tantrum, knowing it was going to be a process. I was prepared for the correction to take more than one visit and asked him to do what he could. He eventually even refuses to do a test strip on my hair to make sure I can move forward with another stylist the following day. Washes my hair and flat out refuses to do anything. And ensures me that someone will be able to do my hair the following day. The scheduler says they are completely booked for the foreseeable future so I just leave. With wet hair, and zero words to describe this experience other than inexcusable. To be fair, the manager did call me the next day to try to clear up the situation by asking for my side of events. But they'd already lost me as a customer at that point. She told me it would take multiple appointments to get my hair where I wanted. I ended up making an appt at Lava Salon with Emma instead who got me EXACTLY where I wanted to be in one appointment lasting 3 hours. I would not recommend Urban Nirvana for anything other than a trim and if you are ok with being treated poorly.

I forgot to update my review based on Studio XO's new location. The new studio is located in the…read morestrip mall called National Crossing. It also houses the State Armory & Ziggy's Dog Parlor to name but a few. It is located across 17N from Mt. Pleasant, Roper Hospital and very near the main entrance to Park West. What a beautiful well designed, chic salon. I would expect nothing less from Damien & Alex. It's really relaxing and beautiful in here, with parking right outside the door. They also have a beautiful space/patio outside to sit & enjoy the sun. And as per usual Damien does a fantastic job with my hair color. I've been using him for years now and he never disappoints. He listens, pays attention to detail and does a phenomenal job. I love this salon and am very happy I found them.

First, if I could give 10 stars, I would. Get ready for details, folks. I want you to know exactly…read morewhy this was an exceptional experience. In the many, many years I've been augmenting my hair color (I started going gray at 16), I count myself fortunate to have only required two "fixes." This was one. I share this because when a color experience goes bad for me, it's really, really bad. And I had a big event. In TWO days. Thanks to other trusty Yelpers, I was able identify nearby salons with customers' experiences specifically addressing color (People! Share your reviews!). I drove to make an appointment, because I wanted 1) who ever I spoke with to physically see my hair (& show pics of what I "should" look like), and 2) to be ready on the off chance I could be seen right away. At Studio XO, I met Damian Gaskins. He took time to look over my hair, feel the condition, and listen to my concerns. Damian was able to get me a time slot for the next day, allocating plenty of time for what we were going to need to do. When I arrived (early!), he was finishing with another client. I was given options for a beverage, and chose the red wine. The Studio XO has wifi for guests and the space for waiting is clean and inviting. When I was seated in the chair, Damian had obviously given my predicament thought and crafted a plan that he walked through. He was going to use a multi-layered approach with a base, high-lights, and low-lights to approximate my natural look. After answering questions, Damian got to work. Over and again, he wove his tool through countless layers of hair to grab TINY sets of strands to create the color layers, demonstrating supreme attention to detail and care. You know that distinctively unpleasant smell that some professional products have? Well, folks, that was notably absent. What Damian used smelled good. And you know how many salon rinsing bowls tend to be horribly uncomfortable, with sometimes painful pressure on your neck? Also absent. The sinks were evidently carefully chosen to support the back of the head in a way that was actually restful. This was not a quick fix. Damian set aside two and a half hours. The entire time he was attentive, thoughtful, gracious, and unrushed. When he completed the color and dried and lightly styled my hair, I saw me. This was color magic (aka "highly skilled") at it's best. Even better, my hair felt silky soft and smelled awesome. Now, just in case you think my experience reflects a one time data point, let me share my observation regarding Damian's immediately prior client. That individual appeared to be a regular, was clearly delighted with the results, and the interaction was also a professionally caring and friendly engagement. Watching, I felt good about what was coming next for me. I also had a chance to see another highly satisfied customer check out. Studio XO is a cozy, thoughtful, and well designed space serving any gender. Deep, rich grays, contemporary lines, and a balance of wood and metal create a clean, attractive, well-lit, and comfortable space with an array of details to serve both client and staff needs. While you can't see the salon from the street, trust your GPS and head back towards McCanns' Pub. I highly recommend Studio XO.
