I've been pretty inactive on Yelp recently... but I really, really want Studio 101 to stick around, so I feel compelled to write! I'll keep it brief: - Taylor has now given me 3 FANTASTIC haircuts. I have super-thick, wavy, shoulder-length hair that I typically blow-dry straight, and her layering process takes the weight out without making me look like Carol Brady. - Lovely ambiance and great customer service. I am always offered a drink when I arrive. Yesterday I had just sloshed through 5 minutes of ice puddles and my boots had soaked through, and the person at the front very kindly offered to put them next to the space heater for the duration of my haircut. Awesome. - Positive interpersonal vibes from the group of staff. - I have never had to wait - always ready when I arrive. That's all she wrote. I wrote. read more

I drove down from western mass just to have Katie do my hair. I had gone to other places and have not been happy. But I can honestly say I left with a smile on my face! This girl is so talented and most definitely worth the hour and a half drive. read more

I have stick straight hair that I've always worn long. I was dreaming of having a trendy pixie or bob. I heard of Kristen through word of mouth and she gave me a quick consult. I was so clueless about what I actually wanted and she helped give me ideas based on current trends and my face shape. The very next day after my consult with her I walked out with an amazing pixie cut and I feel like a whole new person. She's also very good at teaching you how to style your new hair, which for me has been very helpful. The salon itself is also beautiful and I feel like they have decent prices. read more

Taylor is the only person I trust with my hair. She has been my stylist for years and I'd rather go without than go to someone else. In fact, i drive almost two hours just to tap her talents. She gives great feedback, honest opinions, and takes time to make sure the cut is just right. She's also way into cats so we have that to chat about. Book with Taylor! read more

There's no denying this place is gorgeous. Hardwood floors, chandeliers, and exposed brick. The woman at the front offered me a drink right when I came in, which was very nice. Unfortunately, the job of making my coffee got passed around and it didn't arrive until I was getting my hair cut - no time to drink it. Taylor cut my hair. She was great; very friendly and understood immediately what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend her to others. I love my hair. However, their robes are awful. It did not cover my collar in the back or front, so I left with small pieces of hair all over my sweater. Taylor kindly brought me a lint roller and apologized. Love my haircut, but this place needs better robes ASAP. read more

Kristen is AMAZING! I honestly don't think I've ever been happier with my hair before! She has such a cool, calm and collected approach, with an uncanny eye for style! I'd drive an hour and a half anytime to see her! read more

This place is fantastic. Super friendly staff and Taylor gave me the BEST haircut I have ever had. Seriously. The best. I've bounced around from salon to salon for the past seven years and have never been very happy with any of them. I'm so happy to have finally found a great place right in downtown. I hated the way that my hair had been highlighted previously at another salon. Taylor knew just how to fix it AND how to give me the perfect cut and even explained how to blow dry my hair at home correctly. Be warned... it's not cheap, but it's well worth it. After walking out of that salon yesterday, I feel like a million bucks. read more

The appearance of Studio 101 would seem to create an amazing atmosphere for creativity. I am elated that my stylist Kristen Tetrault has become a part of their family. Her talents and knowledge are vast which leads me to believe this studio know quality. I look forward to many services to come! read more

I got my hair cut by Kristen. She did such a good job, I'll definately be coming there in the future!

My stylist of many years recently decided to take her talents southeast to Studio 101; (been missing her ever since); but if this studio hired her, I know they know talent. I didn't need to have to go shopping around for a good stylist because I found Kristen T. before the rest of Western Mass did. Now that she is re-located and has and at the moment an empty client book; if your on the lookout for a new stylist, great conversation, and an fresh perspective on how to achieve a certain look, I highly recommend Kristen as a stylist and Studio 101 for acquiring such a great talent. read more

My husband and my two toddler sons got their hair cut here last weekend. They all left looking amazing. It was my 3 year olds first short hair cut so I let them do my youngest and my husband first to see the results. They were great. I usually hate his haircuts but they understood exactly what we wanted. They made us so comfortable and let my sons eat our take out from the grange while they waited even giving us real plates and silverware. They were so sweet to my sons which made for better haircuts as they sat still for the stylists. They also were not angry when they pranced about the salon after their cuts. This is definitely our new spot. Next I have to try it for myself as I just got a bad dye job down the street read more

See all

My experience here with Kristen was awesome. She is absolutely amazing. She paid close attention to details and went above and beyond to color my hair to exactly what I have been looking to do for a while! Highly recommend Kristen!! All of the stuff is welcoming and the atmosphere is upscale. You won't be disappointed! read more

I got a fabulous haircut from Taylor. She did a really thorough job and styled it beautifully. The place is very cute and played great music. The staff were all so nice, and since I'm from out of town, they gave me recommendations of great bars and such in the area. I told Taylor I had found their salon on Yelp, but had never given back to the Yelp community, so here it is! Go see Taylor. She rocks and has some really cool tattoos. read more

Taylor is wonderful! Everyone loves the feeling of leaving the salon rocking mega shine/volume/color, whatever...but a few days later you're wishing it looked like the day you had it done, well Taylor seems legitimately interested in not just giving you hair you'll love but teaching you how to love it everyday! Every time I go, I leave with tid bits of knowledge so I can style my hair myself. Not to mention the salon itself is gorgeous and the staff is very friendly! read more

Studio 101 is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! From the beautiful hardwood floors and the natural stone elements (complete with waterfall!) to the elegant chandeliers and ever-changing display of art work from local artists, this salon is so chic. Kristen is the best! She is so skilled and thorough. She made me feel so informed about what she thought I needed and I love the results. Not to mention her sweet personality and absolute professionalism. She chatted with me just enough to make me feel totally comfortable, but not so much that I felt like she wasn't concentrating on making my hair look great! I left the salon with the right products and great tips on how to style my hair in a way that I felt confident I could achieve at home. The whole staff was friendly and professional. An all-around great experience! read more

First of all, this salon is way over priced. They charge over $200 for a cut (which was more like a trim) and a root color. I have been there for a cut, root color, and highlight and have been charged over $300. The prices on their website are not accurate. I have never paid less than 200 every time I have been. I actually wouldn't even mind paying high prices if the quality of work was there. My haircut was uneven the last couple of times and I had to go to another salon to fix it. the reviews on here are obviously from friends of theirs. The thing that really upsets me is they are charging such high prices but you don't even get the attention of the hairdresser one on one. They are doing more than one client at a time. One time an assistant blew dry my hair and it was plastered to my head. Did they take any money off the bill? NOOOOO!!!! read more

Very nice salon- went to Jason for highlights and was very pleased. Will definitely return.

I had an impromptu wash and blow dry here before an evening out. My stylist was Lori. She was pleasant and able. The results fabulous. The products she used were highest quality-she umera. Highly recommended! read more

My much-beloved stylist, Kristen, recently joined Studio 101 - today was my first appointment! The space is beautiful, and the salon has a really trendy vibe. Kristen is spectacular - she's been cutting my hair for almost 5 years now, and I'll follow her to the ends of the earth if I have to! ;) I'm thrilled Studio 101 is her new home. If you're looking for an adorable salon and the most spectacular haircut you've ever had - look no further! Ask for Kristen, and I promise, you'll be raving about her too! read more

The service at this place is exceptional, the atmosphere is clean and sophisticated. I went yesterday, and the quality of the work was great, the service was wonderful from the front desk staff and my stylist. Leo did an amazing blowout/style after he finished the cut, which I received many compliments on afterwards. I will definitely be back and would recommend Studio 101 to anyone. read more

For a cut, color and few highlights....287 BUCKS!!!!! I didn't even get a glass of champagne or a foot rub with that!!!!! Such a rip off! And yes I had Kristen like everyone else, she was tag teaming between me and another client. Doing the two of us at once! Thats worth 300 bucks, I really felt special...(sarcasm)... And she was constantly trying to sell some product from pastes to oils which I don't use, and told her more then once. I have long layered hair...I'm not going to put oil or paste in it. Frankly I wasn't impressed, and I was there for 3 HOURS!!!! I was exhausted! I told my sitter I'd be less then a couple hours!! Not worth it, I think I paid for there chandelier....my girlfriends have been laughing it up about this ridiculous 300 dollar haircut, and I'm the butt of the rip off jokes...not cool. Not a great first impression. I was there a couple weeks ago, I'm STILL debating calling the manager to ask WTF I paid for, cause I'm pretty sure I could have spent that money elsewhere...I only went here because my old hair salon is 45 min away and my fav stylist had a baby and wont be going back....back on the hunt for a decent salon... read more

I've gone before and came out with my hair looking beautiful, but this time I wasn't so pleased. My hair was already highlighted but grown out several inches and I just wanted some blonde highlights. I said that I liked a little bit of brown showing but ended up with what seems to be the front portions of my hair strictly blonde. I like how it mixes with brown and you can't see any of that. I wasn't told the price until after the services were done and yes I had gone before but it was 3 years ago, so I couldn't remember what they were. I also asked before anything was done but didn't get an answer until she was done. I prob would not have gotten one of the services because I spent over what I had budgeted. I feel like if I had to pay more than a normal salon I should have gotten what I asked for, highlights with some brown showing through. After seeing my hair in the daylight it's so overwhelming even after low lights were put in to calm the bright blonde down after it was first done and it's still very overwhelming. And if I wait a week or so I'll be dishing out even more money for getting too much of what I was asking for. I've honestly stayed away from mirrors all day because I don't even want to look at it. I feel completely uncomfortable with how I look now! read more

i have been there twice times and they were all bad. at first, i thought they misunderstood me. however, this time, i showed them the picture and they gave me the completely different haircut. i don't know what is wrong with them. so rude and careless. read more

Kristen is amazing! You can give her a general idea and it comes out beyond fantastic, or you can give her something specific and she gives you exactly what you want. I always want low maintenance hair and she's never tried to talk me out if it, she listens to me which not every stylist has done in the past. She works with me and it's always fabulous! I drive in from another state just to see her and it is completely worth it. read more

Taylor is the best. Beautiful studio, great staff, good price. This place is a keeper!!

I highly recommend getting a cut & color with Kristen. She is truely an amazing stylist! She cut and colored my hair and I felt like a celebrity after leaving the salon. read more

Although I'm not typically one to review, I absolutely had to join in on the many raving reviews about this place. I booked a last minute consultation with Kristen the week of an important event, and was immediately aware of how understanding and knowledgeable she was about what I wanted with my hair! Though she originally did not have any appointments available in the time frame I needed, she assured me that she would let me know if any cancellations occurred/any appointments became available, and that she would do her best to get me in before my event. Thankfully, a cancellation did occur so she was able to squeeze me in the morning of my event and worked at rapid speed to do all that I wanted done with my hair (major cut, highlights/balayage, and style) in the window of time that I had available. The salon is beautiful, the atmosphere is fun and relaxed, and they really take care to do the little things (offer you something to drink, put you in a chair that reclines to have your hair washed) to make the experience even better. Kristen's assistant, Tristan, helped out a great deal with my appointment, and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and great with my hair as well. I am moving out of town, but will likely return here to have my hair done as they really are the best! read more

Beautiful, comfortable, spacious, well-located salon. Kristen is terrific. I think she is the first hairdresser who I have been able to bring a photo for inspiration and the resulting haircut actually looked like the photo! She really listens to what I want and like while also offering suggestions of what would work best with my hair. I'm so excited to have found her and Studio 101! read more

I've been seeing Lori for years and she always gives me a great haircut! Love the decor and environment! And the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend quarters for the parking meter downtown. read more

Always get my haircut here mainly from Katie & my fiancé gets her services done by Kristen, but the entire staff is beyond fantastic! I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone who has never been. read more

I absolutely love Studio 101! It is such a beautiful, inviting space, and every member of the staff is pleasant and professional. I have seen both Kristen and Katie many times and I always LOVE my results. They always greet my by name, offer me a beverage as soon as I sit down, and make sure i'm comfortable the whole time. During my last visit I got a deep conditioning treatment and while it was sitting on my hair the assistant put a warm lavender scented towel over my eyes, it was amazing. Honestly, I can't say enough positive things about this salon. it goes way beyond gorgeous hair, it is an absolute pleasure to visit Studio 101. read more

This is a truly professional studio! A rare find! I had been trekking to Manhattan to my old salon of many years as I could find nothing comparable to Oscar Blondi locally. Kristin at 101 is epic. She manages to make my hair look fabulous even as we consult! Then she works magic on the actual color and cut. Kristen listens well and she knows her craft which is a perfect pairing for success every visit. Kristin is always consistent so I know I will walk out happy. A bonus is her ability to introduce change. I have a consistent look but Kristin mixes things up with nuanced color, highlight or cut changes that keep things fresh. So we move with moods and seasons. Outstanding! Most recently Kristin managed to prepare my hair for a 2 month european adventure. Week 7 was important business in Tuscany and my hair still looked amazing, both cut and color! Unbelievable but true! The staff at 101 is precise, appointments are on time and there is a culture of anticipating clients' needs and of meeting them. This is a must try studio!! read more

I went to studio 101 last night for the first time and my first impression was how AMAZING the studio looked. It was so beautiful inside, exposed brick and elegant chandeliers made this studio stand out from anywhere else I had gone in the past. Greta did a copper red into blonde Bayagage with a rose gold glaze over it, I really wish I had a picture that would do it justice, but the coloring is amazing! I couldn't be happier with my hair after going there and would absolutelyyyy recommend going there over and over again. read more

kristen t has been my hairdresser for more than 13 years. She's incredibly talented, creative and professional. I've tried to find people closer to where I live numerous times and no ones had the same skill as she has. She's an incredible talent. I travel from out of state to go to her and she's worth it. read more

I've been to Studio 101 once and it was per a friends recommendation to see Kristen. She was amazing. Unfortunately my appointment was running a little late and the studio was closing but not once did Kristen rush me! Not to mention, my hair came out fabulous. She definitely knows what she is doing. First stylist I would trust to leave it up to her to do what she wants with my locks!! read more

Studio 101 is great!!! I really enjoy coming to visit Kristen, she provides fabulous styles and advice on what I should consider when I'm getting my haircut. Her knowledge really shines when she is explaining the process of what she is doing when cutting my hair, makes me comfortable with a new style. Studio 101 provides a great atmosphere and sends reminder emails and calls for upcoming appointments. I'm very busy and they are flexible with rescheduling if necessary. I'm looking forward to coming back to Providence and seeing Kristen! read more

I was lucky enough to get a cut and color from Katie at Studio 101...what a wonderful experience! The service was so personalized and the end result was AMAZING. I am in love with my new look and I really can't say enough good things about the quality of the service. The space is beautiful, the staff is considerate and kind and the quality of the products and services is exceptional. Thank you, Katie! read more

I go to Lori for anytime I need a great blow out...she listens to me and is always patient to reach my vision of style. She is great! And I know I can be difficult at times but Lori is the most patient with all my requests (volume..lots and lots of volume, waves, not curls, more volume) she takes her time and is very sweet to always strive to make sure I am satisfied with the end result. I always get compliments after she does my hair and it always lasts a few days after! I will continue to be going to Lori for my hair needs :) read more

I saw Lori at Studio 101. She was great. Took her time and really made sure we worked together to help my hair look its best and to repair previous color damage from a former salon that shall remain nameless! Lori is the best. read more

Studio 101 is an amazing salon. Taylor is my all time favorite stylist. She truly spends her time listening to what her client's are looking for, utilizing her skill, talent and creativity to give you the best cut, color and style. I would not trust my hair to anyone but Taylor. She is truly both talented and kind. I have never ever been disappointed and cannot be happier with the way she has cut and colored my hair read more
