Unfortunately, Studio S gets a bad rap based on only a few "bad apples" at this location. As Sierra mentions in one of her posts, some spaces are leased out. Such is the case with the stylist I had. I think my disappointment was with explaining EXACTLY the style and cut I wanted (emphasis on edgy, fresh, not an old lady hairstyle) but ending up with the same thing I already had, just trimmed up. Maybe because, when asked, I mentioned GROUPON? NONE THE SAME, I wont be coming back here. I'll eventually find a stylist that will listen to me.... read more

The salon is clean, comfy, very homey & conveniently located to my house. Araceli put highlights all over. She talked me through her steps, made suggestions, asked if it was ok, & did an excellent job! I love the blonde! I was in need of a change after leaving my ex & she did just that! read more

Araceli is amazing at what she does! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she made it exactly the same! She has a wonderful personality and I will definitely be going back! If you are looking for someone who can work well with blonde she is your girl! Highly recommended read more

Went to see Joel today. He was quick, efficient, and I love my color. My hair always ends up gold after color and today I finally got my ash blonde! Plus this is only the second time I've had a dry cut and its great! read more

I scheduled a hair color and highlights with Araceli. I was a little nervous, as it was going to be a pretty big color change. Araceli listened to me and translated it into exactly what I wanted. It is the best color I've ever had, perfect for my skin tone, with highlights that are natural and complementary. Araceli has a very casual friendly personality. She's very easy to talk to. At the end, she showed me how to style my hair in a specific way I had always wanted to try. She also gave me tips if I decided to get coloring done elsewhere, or not frequently to help my gray not be as noticable. I will definitely be coming back. The only negative part of my experience was that another stylist (I think her name was Courtney) picked a fight with Araceli while I was there. She didn't like something that a few of the other stylists did and made it known while I was sitting there having my hair done! It was very unprofessional. A few minutes later, when a few more stylists were there, she proceeded to lecture them about communication skills. I was the only client in the salon at the time. I found it very rude and disrespectful. She wouldn't have done that if one of her clients were there, but she had zero respect for Araceli in being so unprofessional while she was working on a client (me). read more

I moved here for college and needed to find a salon to keep up with my blonde and basically a go-to salon since I will be living here for awhile. I found this place online and saw Araceli's reviews on her work. She's truly amazing at what she does! She's always willing to accommodate to my schedule and what works for me, always let's me know what she is putting into my hair along with how the products will affect it. Araceli is a great person and easy to talk with! The environment is nice and it's a cute salon. I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she always double checks with me (as any hairdresser should, but many don't) before starting anything! She fixed my hair to the blonde I wanted and I've been going to her for months now, I definitely recommend her to anyone especially for blonde! She knows what she's doing and will always have your best interest when doing your hair! P.S. she replies fast and also texts me a day or two an appointment to confirm again! read more

I went in just to have my roots touched up and the red freshened. Red tends to fade faster than other colors. Sierra was multi-tasking and left the color on too long. I ended up dark brown and it was so bad that I had to resort to color remover on my own since Sierra couldn't get me back in to fix it for 3 weeks. The color remover is not good for your hair but at least I'm a redhead again. My opinion is that Sierra put what she thought would look good on my hair regardless of my request. How many times have we gone to salons asking for something and got something else? My suggestion to her is to learn how to listen. read more

Araceli is unprofessional. I made 2 different appointments trying to work with and accommodate her, and when she scheduled me a time that SHE chose, she came up with an excuse again, literally right before she's supposed to see me! Wont be having my hair done by her EVER. She completely wasted my time. read more

I bought a Groupon for a full color and highlights. I made my appointment disappointed because I couldn't get the appointment for the day I want despite it saying same day appointment available. Well she texted me at 930at night to confirm the appointment on the 30th I confirm and we discussed how my hair was and what I wanted she had me send pictures of my hair and both of the color that I wanted well at first she told me that my Groupon would not count for what I wanted that it needed to be bleach color corrected so it didn't count so I decided to change completely and pick something totally different I went simple basically I just chose a red color and she just add the blonde highlights to it which should have qualified underneath the Groupon after a long debate blah blah blah she said okay I'll try I said all right cool perfect see you then the next morning at 6:30 a.m. I get another text message stating that she cancelling my appointment and refuses to do any of it despite her being already paid for and now I can't get a refund. So she gets paid to do nothing. I would not recommend this place and I would suggest to Groupon to remove the offer. Due to that fact she isn't falling throw with it. Her excuse for cancelling is mute as I have no hair color I'm all natural and she knew I told her 6 times read more

Studio S Salon - This is the message I received after we came to an agreement on what could be done - Hair Salons Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Studio S Salon was fantastic, I got in touch with them this morning hoping for a same day appointment, and they were able to accommodate! I was scheduled with Joel, and no lie he gave me the best haircut of my life. I had super long, brown hair with grown out red ends from getting my hair colored two years ago. He did a dry cut and my hair came out bouncy and beautiful. He was able to make my hair short enough to give me volume, but long enough to pull up in a bun or ponytail. He was also able to make my hair look more ombre, as if the transition from brown to red was intentional! On top of that, he is personable, hilarious, and a Marine Veteran. He's wonderful. read more

From my wife: Well, thank you Joel and Studio S for nearly ruining my wedding. Here are a few ways you guys went above and beyond into utter awfulness. 1. Weddings run on tight schedules, did you know this Joel? Being 20 minutes late for an appointment we set throws off every part of the day. 2. Generally it is good to listen to your client right? As she is saying "I don't like this, this isn't what I want?" 3. For a wedding, I like my hair to look good. Crazy right? Not like a hot mess on my head. I looked like a demented sheep. 4. And you were so deeply deeply sympathetic to me! As I was crying, not a word of comfort, no attempt to apologize, just "that will be 85 bucks please." In conclusion, go elsewhere! Update: you can see their reply below...and let me add a fifth way. Completely unapologetic! Let me address Sierra's replies: 1. Since our experience happened at the space through one of your contractor's, it is of course completely appropriate to leave our review here! 2. It is good advice to make our appointment longer than a day in advance...and in fact we did. A week in advance. Not sure what my coming from Russia has to do with anything. 3. By "entourage" you mean my wedding photographer? That was the only person with me except when my sister-in-law picked me up at the end. Do you really not want people to bring in their wedding photographer's in these situations? And how did having my photographer present affect Joel's ability? Answer: none, but you are scrambling for excuses instead of apologizing. 4. Let me answer you Sierra: you should listen to the person whose hair you are styling. Wow! Revolutionary! Did that really need to be specified to Joel? 5. I had no problem with my "veil" (nice unnecessary quotes though!). Not was it about my curls...your cryptic comment about shortness or something is great deflection. Let me simplify it: Joel did a bad job and was unsympathetic. read more

I had a very similar experience as the other customers had. I don't like being bullied. I thank Groupon for being a great company and making it right. read more

Joel did an excellent job coloring and cutting my hair. He provided suggestions, showed me samples of different color, and was very professional. It is obvious that he knows what he is doing. I felt very comfortable here and it was very laid back. The salon is very nice too. I will definitely be coming back to this spot for future hair appointments. I definitely recommend! read more

Joel did a wonderful job on my hair color! He was very professional and made me laugh! The results came out wonderful and it was just what I wanted. I also loved the product he used. The salon was very chic and neat and had an awesome vibe to it. I will be returning to this salon. read more

Had a cut and lo-lites today with Joel- true professional, takes his time to do what the client wants; great hair cut and color job- would recommend Joel !!! Merci Joel :) read more

Just moved out here from California and decided to check this salon out because of a good deal on Groupon. DeeDee was amazing! Super friendly, listened to what I wanted, and gives a great deep conditioning treatment. I definitely recommend this place. Amazing decor as well. read more

Planning for an event is always stressful. I was so glad when I went in to talk about styles and possibilities, Joel really took the time and helped me understand what to expect. I made an appointment so we could do a practice run a week before for my hair and make up so when it came down to the day everything went so smoothly! Thank you so much for your patience and expertise! This place has such a great vibe and everyone was so friendly!! read more

I've been going to Sierra for a long time and all was peachy until now ... Just recently I decided that I need a change from my platinum blond and I would like to add some warm, golden blond or sun kissed highlights. Well ... I didn't get what I wanted and I hated it from the moment they were done but was told to give it a chance cuz the color will soften after few washes ... The low lights got a bit lighter but I still hate it ... That's when I found out - God forbid I speak up pissed about my hair color to my former hair stylist. On the top of learning that my request exceeded her skills I've also learned that: Sierra's bitchy attitude will be applied with the first note of disappointment in my voice, that professionalism is not her strong suit since "I'm sorry you don't like your hair color let's fix it as soon as possible" .... Well never came ..... Then I learned the earliest she can see me is in a month ... And finally that " She is done with me" because I was so mad about everything I just mentioned above and I refused to calm down and let her's " I'm better then everyone else" attitude take over the conversation ..... So much for making the costumer happy! read more

I had an appointment with Sierra on May 15 for cut and color. This got mixed up, and I only had cut appointment. I do not know why. When I arrived late (road work), I got a lot of attitude. This stylist is very aggressive and angry. She slammed the door in front of me. I left crying, literally. read more

I don't write many reviews but this Salon deserves my highest praise so I'm taking the time to write a one. I have VERY fine hair and for years have been trying to achieve a specific color weave - until I found Sierra (the owner of Studio S Salon) no one has even come close to what I was looking for. Not only did Sierra do an outstanding job on my color weave, she also suggested I try having my split ends trimmed with heated scissors which would seal the ends and stop the splitting. I took her suggestion and since them my hair has never looked better! My split ends are gone and my hair is growing rather than having stay one length due to always cutting off the split ends. I'm delighted to find this place and Sierra. I will drive across town (I live in Oro Valley and her shop is on the east side of town) so I can continue to gain the benefits of her extensive knowledge with color weaves and with hair in general! I've also sent my daughter and granddaughter to Studio S and they too have been very happy with the services they have received. read more
