I just moved from Austin, TX, to Merrillville, IN. Coming from a big city with a certain vibe, I spent a lot of time looking for a new salon "home" that would match my expectations. I knew the hunt was over when I found Studio 30 Hair Concepts, based on their positive reviews. To see for ourselves, my husband and I dropped in at Studio 30 to check it out. Not only did Studio 30 match my expectations, they went beyond! We were warmly greeted by Snezana Tants, the owner, who listened to us and immediately made us feel confident that she understood what we were looking for and could provide it. Due to a cancelation, we were both able to get haircuts that morning - the best haircut I've ever had! This is a salon where listening is an important asset! My husband's experience was equally satisfying; we would trust any of the stylists at Studio 30 because it was obvious that we were in a salon where the stylists listen to their clients and have the professional skills to deliver the desired results. Moving is tough but Studio 30 has gone a long way toward making me feel at home!! A great find and a keeper! read more

Amazing stylist and atmosphere. I stopped in on a whim and am so glad that I did.! I was a walk in and was treated as if I had been a customer for years. If you're looking for an excellent salon with a great atmosphere, this is where you want to go! read more

Everybody at Studio 30 is great!! I always feel welcome and loved when I come here. Snezana has never failed to make my hair feel fabulous! I would trust any of the stylists here because they are all so talented. I've had just about every color under the sun, from natural colors to bright fashion colors and I have never left disappointed! They can do it all here! read more

Pros : Conveniently located off Rt. 30 across from McDonalds. Friendly service ; great ample parking Cons: Location is a former house converted into a salon. ; inexpensive products (Cheap). Mini flea market (jewels sale) For manicures there lotion is made up of two ingredients instead of a refreshing lotion. The color fails to peel very soon. As seen on picture. Prices are reasonable. No computer system all done by hand old school. No cash register. Just a calculator. This place would be excellent if it would be updated (all) and less things around. More space to walk around. Please don't take this wrong. The service is awesome! Just the place is not equipped and needs a good clean up (sanitation) read more

I scheduled two appointments for my daughters. Granted I called the same day and the lady that answered the phone scheduled us for 2pm. We arrived exactly at 2pm and 45 minutes later we were still waiting. We canceled the appointments. Don't schedule appointments if you can't manage your time and have customers wait over 45 minutes. My rating is on the time management/lack of honesty from front desk and not the services. read more

OMG! I am SO incredibly happy that I came here today for my haircut! LOOK at my "before" and "after" photos! (My "before" photo is a picture of me from a birthday party 4 days prior to my haircut today; I forgot to take a "before" photo of myself before my haircut today.) I can't stop smiling over how this cut & salon has made me so happy! I just moved to the area from IL (ugh) and desperately needed shaping so that I could go take care of getting that IN driver's license (and not hate myself in the photo for the next 4 years)! I searched on YELP with the goal of finding a salon where all of the stylists come highly recommended, and I wanted a comfortable, welcoming place that charged a fair price for a great service, and I found it! My stylist really listened to me and understood my goal for a hairstyle that I want to grow my hair into, and together, we agreed upon this transition hairstyle that will get me to my final goal. I'm very happy with it! I am so DONE with the cookie-cutter franchise salons where IF you find a stylist you like, three months later, they're gone. Or the uppity pretentious North Shore Chicago salons that expect you to happily part with 1/3 week's pay for a haircut. Give me a break! The salon is clean, warm & welcoming, and was decorated so cute! I instantly felt like I was visiting a good friend. The waiting area has the comfiest looking sofas and I loved the designated pedicure room (I am SO looking forward to having a pedicure here)! After meeting my stylist for the first time today, and witnessing the transformation she performed on my hair with just a cut, I totally trust her to color my virgin hair next week! So excited! So happy to have found a salon that I really love! I would give more than 5 stars if I could! read more

I felt that my regular salon was not listening to my wishes, and when my stylist started interjecting her political beliefs, with which I do not agree but do not want to start an argument, I decided to go to someplace new. I went on Yelp and found Studio 30. It sounded like a place I should try. They could take me that day, so I made the appointment. It is such an unbelievably adorable salon. It was just before Easter and the salon was decorated so delightfully. I was warmly greeted and Christine was my stylist. She was super nice, and gave me a wonderful cut. I have short hair, and the cut matters a lot. I went to my son's house for Easter a few days later, and he complimented me on my hair. I was so surprised. He has never done that. He repeated that he really liked the look. Of course I am going back to Christine. She made a miracle happen. read more

Friendly staff, very welcoming. Only salon the girls in family will go to. They always do a terrific job and listen to clients needs. Whether a color or just a cut they are the best. From the youngest kid to seniors they do an amazing job. read more

Very talented stylists here! I am always happy with my haircuts and my wife is beyond thrilled with her cuts and color, every time. Very clean, modern, and decorated elegantly. Stylists are not only talented, but they are nice and really listen and advise. Prices are very reasonable! I love that the staff never pushes my wife to purchase products, but the products are on display for easy shopping (along with very, VERY NICE accessories)! read more

I started going to Studio 30 when Snezana opened her shop. Missed them when I moved out of town, especially since I could not find anyone as good as Snezana (and boy did I pay for looking for someone). She is a magician with hair. Now I travel back there every chance I get to have her do my hair. read more

What a wonderful place! I loved my color & their hospitality is amazing! Love them!

I absolutely love going here!! Snezana my hair stylist is excellent!! I fully trust in her abilities as a stylist. She knows what would look great on me and does an excellent cut & color on me. I'm willing to travel to get my hair done because it's worth it! I have tried other stylist that were closer to my house but none compare. Her receptionist and fellow stylist are very kind & friendly, always asking if I need something. I also bring my kids here & again no one can compare to how she cuts their hair. Especially my sons who has very blonde & thin hair so it's easy to see if it's uneven. It is also decorated very nice. I HIGHLY recommend this salon for your needs. read more

What a wonderful salon and staff! Thanks to Snezana and Christine for doing a fabulous job for our daughter, the bride, and all of the girls in the wedding, as well as mom! So many compliments from everyone throughout the day! Go see her for a beautiful look! read more

I was impressed with the pedicure I received here. Lindsey was very good. Very thorough, very careful. Really took her time to do an excellent job! After trying several other places, this will be my choice from now on! read more

Snezana, the owner is my hair stylist. She is beyond excellent. She has expanded my thought process about my hair color options. I go every week for a style. Sonya the receptionist is very personable and always sees to everyone's needs. The other stylists are talented also. They offer a wide variety of services. I also have my lashes done while I am there. If you go you will not be disappointed. read more

This place is my favorite place to go to when I'm in town! No one can do my hair like Snezana the owner, she is an artist in every way. Everyone is friendly, the decor is a beautiful rustic look, it has a cozy atmosphere, you feel at home! read more

I have been coming her for 10+ years. Snezana is my stylist par excellence. Her colorings are spot on. Love the ambience. Christine does a beautiful job on nails and is also an excellent stylist. I've had my make-up done, also a great job by Snezana. Their receptionist, Sonja, always works with the clients, making sure they are comfortable and helping rearrange appts. read more
