    My son and I
    Misael V.

    Great vibe and environment staff was friendly. My son and I went for a haircut our barber Kimberly was just amazin very patient with my Lil one he is 1yr old. He enjoyed the haircut and she made me feel comfortable with my Lil one walking around and havin to take multiple breaks to attend my son. I highly recommend Kimberly for a great haircut or if you have Lil ones that need one

    This review is long overdue. I have been a red red head for a long time and went to get my roots and gloss from a different salon. I left the salon with purple violet hair. I called the studio in a desperate panic, mind you this is 4th of July weekend, and Adam went out of his way to help me. I called many salons and everyone was booked. So was the studio but when Adam heard my situation, he told me he had the perfect colorist to fix my hair and by some magic I had my hair fixed at the studio the next day. He genuinely went out of his way to help me out and connected me with literally the best colorist who has ever touched my hair, Cristian. Which is rare - the colorist/ salon who messed up my hair in the first place didn't care half as much as Adam did. Not only did I leave with my hair fixed back to red but my roots and base were blended beautifully - something no other colorist has offered attempted or suggested before.

    It was my first time at the studio. First impression was kind of weird since I arrived and there was absolutely none to greet me at the salon (I was 10 min early). The owner did my hair, and gave absolutely zero $&@ks about me. Never did a proper consultation, said we'll figure it out as we go, didn't ask me what my name was, or introduced himself. There was no conversation, or even a feeling that good feeling you're being taken care of in a salon. However, the worst part is that my haircut is absolutely a joke. My hair is thin and very easy to manage, it lifts very well, and it was already short when I came in! My hair is uneven everywhere now, he never double checked it, or refined it, never asked me where I prefer to part it. He didn't even style it after a quick blow dry. I like the color that I got, but for the price WASN'T worth it!!! I paid $625 for this. I honestly feel taken advantage of. I wouldn't mind paying this amount if I felt pampered. Instead I feel like I was a major inconvenience to the stylist. But you be the judge....

    Adam's color game is 10/10.

    Best hair experience ever. Cute salon. Comfy seats. Just adore this place so much. Go see Adam right now.

    Adam has given me some of the best haircuts I have ever had. So talented and his studio is dreamy. Covered in plants, Eames Lounge Chairs, and fantastic Art! I highly recommend The Studio!

    Free haircuts but not worth going.

    In regards to Adam's response, which he deleted few hours after posting it (I attached a screen of it though.) All I have to say is....Wow! I'm in shock. What a shady business owner. What a liar! I did go to this salon (I attached pictures of my appointment confirmation and the free haircut promo he had in June which he still has up on his site) and as a fyi gigi is my nickname. I guess the virus attacked his brain cells and made him forget that he opened his salon in June during the short time the Governor let CA open up salons. Based on other reviews it's obvious he lacks customer service skills and can't take criticism, so more reasons not to support his LA & Chicago location. ************************ HONEST REVIEW: I got a haircut with the owner Adam in June. I saw on his website he was offering free haircuts. At that time services were allowed inside the salon however he said wash/blowouts were not allowed, which I was not informed after making the online appointment. Anyways my haircut came out horrible. I went in with long pretty hair and left with short puffy hair. I had a lot of hair, yet he cut it so fast and didn't take his time, no wonder it came out uneven and the style he gave me was of an unexperienced stylist. The haircut left my hair heavy/bulky on top. He was pretty friendly and the salon looked nice and ofcourse I appreciate that he was doing free haircuts, but I would not recommend him. Unfortunately I left with very short uneven hair and very disappointed!!!

    I was so excited to hear Zoie Roman was moving to The Studio by Adam Lee! I absolutely adore her work. No matter the location, I have always followed Zoie to whatever cute boutique or shop she has moved on into. She's super sweet, smart, and edgy and her personality shines through in all her work, let it be bold and eye catching or a more classic or conservative look that's absolute perfection. I can't wait to make my next appointment at The Studio and check out the her new adorable spot Think I'm lying? Check out her portfolio here http://www.zoieroman.com Another super awesome perk is that you can also book your next appointment right from that link too Side note, my own pictures don't do her work justice, I'm not very photogenic

    I come here refularly for a fade and sometimes if im feeling like a color change. Adam is my go to, but, this is a salon full of education. So, if he has someone else shampoo/scalp massage me and teaches them during the process, I'm totally ok with it. It definitely doesnt hurt that their refreshments list is the longest, beat ive ever seen. Beer, champagne, mimosas, coffee, tea, juices, etc... Adam is a barber and a stylist so I get the old school barber haircut with the comfort of a full service salon. I'd reccommend anyone at this place, but, Adam is my the man. Also, he built the space beautifully and always has pretty, private, local art work hanging on the walls. All over a great place to get your hair done! Thanks, The Studio.

    Owner making fun of me for having a hard life? Ok???

    The salon owner Adam is a terrible person that cussed at and threatened me for posting this review even though I told him that I was refunded and didn't want to argue. I went in with nearly white hair and asked for heavily silver hair with some black for contrast. Many photos in Yudy's portfolio seemed to be exactly what I wanted and I have no idea how it came out so bad. I could have done it myself but I was afraid of the black bleeding on to the white so I went to a "pro". Well.... I'm sitting here with entirely black hair that is fried to the point of no return. When I politely texted her about it she was combative with zero empathy other than a "sorry you feel that way". What??? This isn't subjective, my hair was in worse condition leaving and didn't even have all of the dye washed out. She offered to "fix" it but it's impossible to go from poorly done black back to white. On top of that, I'd never want to go back here. While I was sitting with chemicals on my head she left twice for about 45 minutes each time. It was a bad experience all around. Lesson learned- don't pick a stylist off IG, especially if they don't tag their clients or location. I should have seen the red flags! So much for my "extremely contrasted silvery white and black hair"

    That bomb a** fade!

    Awesome salon. Christina Mack has been cutting my hair for 7, maybe 8 years now. Haven't had a bad hair cut yet. The fade is always on point and she's always killin it. So if you're ever looking for a new spot or the best in LA, Christina Mack is the one.

We decided that a short bob would be best to fix my mess! She did a fantastic job fixing up the uneven pieces, making sure to fix the bangs so it would grow out nicely. She also showed me how to style it at home, since short hair is high maintenance. I'm super happy with how it turned out, and I'll definitely be back when it's time to trim.

This is my warning to others that are going here to have straightening done. Don't rely on her to tell you it's not right for your hair. To top it off when I called to tell her she did not apologize, she did not act as though she felt bad her response was not caring at all. Not to mention she didn't offer any advice or a refund. Now it will take me years to get my hair healthy and I'm so upset.

I had allotted 2 hours and now there was only 1 hour left and I had not even been seen or sent for hair washing. All the while I waited, I could see Sal doing at least 2 other people's hair. When I asked the front desk if I could reschedule, they said they would talk to him. Several minutes passed. Sal was aware that I was there, but chose not to speak to me himself. He chose not to even take two minutes to face me and apologize. He was going to Mexico the next night, and could only offer the next day during hours I had to work. The salon manager apologized for Sal and offered another hair dresser. I have curly hair and want someone experienced in curly hair- especially when the haircut is right before my wedding and will cost hundreds of dollars. I think the worst part was that Sal was right there but simply didn't have the courtesy to apologize. I will never return to this salon. As for my wedding in two weeks, I have asked my makeup artist to help me find someone.

Having experienced the accuracy of an exclusively blonde colorist, I cannot overstate that value. 3) Communication It's possible your colorist may have to interpret what you're asking for. It's possible this takes time. Cait spent time with me. She encouraged me to say more and made me feel comfortable (read: not-stupid) as I probably talked out of both sides of my mouth and stumbled through my wants, needs, pictures, let-downs, etc. Look, I don't care who's hair you've colored, or "red carpet" this, "social media following" that blah blee blah. All of your skill and knowledge and experience is lost on me if: I'm intimidated You have one eye on the clock for our entire consult You're annoyed with my inability to articulate Couple the thorough communication with the technical capability and B/B is in a whole other league, entirely. Caitlin, you should be really proud of this business. Ok. SO: I hesitate to comment on/share price and service-time because every blonde really is unique BUT since that's probably the info you're looking for, I'll say this: Re price: Not inexpensive ALTHOUGH more than fair (even before you consider comps at other salons) Re time: It takes as long as it takes. Dunno what else to say about that one. Its bleach, people. Maybe don't rush it? TL;DR? Um, "best". You get what you pay for. Proceed with confidence (and enthusiasm!) srsly though?
