This review is for Pru! My hair, like me, had been through hell, neglected, depleted, thinning,…read moreand lifeless. After stress and illness, it hadn't been cut in years. In desperation I started asking around, looking for someone who could give me a variation on a wolf cut- I wanted to be sure I connected with a stylist who could meet me where i'm at and respect what I wanted. Sooo GRATEFUL I connected with Pru! She listened, understood and was able to execute an excellent wolf cut bringing body and style back into hair i'd given up on, previously only wearing it pulled back and in a headband to hide it AND she understood exactly what I'd been through, so not only did my hair look better than it had in years, the experience was fun and supportive. Thank you, Pru! ( I hope it's OK to share: @curl.up_and_dye on IG :)

This interaction was more disappointing than the service itself and shows a lack of professionalism when dealing with unhappy clients.

To step across the threshold of Studio O on 2nd Street in Long Beach is not merely to enter a…read moresalon, but to be inducted into a sanctum of aesthetic excellence where the very air seems to shimmer with the promise of transformation and the pursuit of beauty is elevated to a high art form. It was with a sense of profound destiny that I first discovered this hidden gem, drawn in by the enigmatic and stylish exterior that sports the magnificent letter "O"--a symbol that I have since come to realize stands not just for Oscar, the proprietor of this fine establishment, but for the "Outstanding," the "Overwhelming," and the "Otherworldly" delight that awaits within. From the moment I first engaged the services of the miraculous Cathy, a true virtuoso of the shears who seems to possess the telepathic ability to discern one's innermost hair desires before they are even spoken, I was irrevocably hooked on a level of service that far surpasses the sterile pretension of even the most prestigious salons in Beverly Hills. My hair, which is a formidable and unruly entity characterized by a thickness and coarseness that would daunt a lesser stylist, is here tamed and coaxed into a state of sublime magnificence through the technical wizardry and tender manipulation of the entire team, resulting in a masterpiece that I am proud to wear upon my head each time I depart. But the magic of Studio O extends far beyond the cut and color; it is an immersive sensory experience where one is enveloped in warmth from the moment of arrival, greeted not as a customer but as a long-lost companion by Oscar and his talented cadre of artists. The interior is a feast for the eyes, boasting captivating wallpaper and a revolving art gallery that stimulates the mind as thoroughly as the ergonomic comfort of the shampoo bowls soothes the body, while the aromatic scents in the restroom and the offering of exquisite coffee drinks cater to one's every comfort

I've had purple hair for the past 10 years, and every single time he creates the most vibrant, stunning color ..it never misses. He truly has an eye for detail and always gets everything exactly right. Beyond his talent, the entire experience with him is top tier. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and the work he does. And I have to mention..the hair wash experience is next level. So relaxing and just an added touch of a scalp massage that makes every appointment feel like a treat. If you're looking for a master colorist and stylist, Micha is the one. Highly recommend!

I did a very thorough investigation on who I wanted to get my hair done with. It always came back to Roberto and his company Lucid Hair Lab.

He did my first ever balayage and the end result was incredible and perfect! He gave me tips on how to manage and do upkeep with my hair. He literally saved my life and am now a life long customer!

My hair literally comes alive when he's finished with it. And I don't know how he does it, but the color/highlights always grow out like a dream (which is great if you like to space out your hair appointments.) I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair than in the last few years I've seen Roberto. His talent alone is worth the visit, but on top of that you'll also get to be around his fabulous personality and his GORGEOUS private studio space. It's a vibe. Can't rave enough about this man...he's truly an artist and I'm so thrilled I found him!

It's hidden in a little shopping center and quite honestly I probably wouldn't have given it a try how to not read the reviews and I'm really glad I decided to try them out.

It looks so beautiful. She cut about 3 inches to get most of my dead ends out. If I'm ever in the area & I need a haircut. I would absolutely come back again.

This review is for Rizza, who did Grey Hair blending for me…read more I'm coming to terms with my gray/silver hairs and asked Rizza if she could do Grey blending for me. This can be hard to do, especially since I have ethnic hair and about a decade of vivids, henna color, and other experiments in my hair. I came in with blue and purple fun hair. This is my hair after two sessions and she's done a great job delivering on Grey blending. She found an ashy beige that would work with blending in with my silvers. She really understands color. Rizza also has very chill energy and listens to your requests. I also needed to handle personal medical stuff during my appointment and she was very helpful about it.

The owner (originally from Chicago) explained the buildout and history of his shop, as he delicately cut a guys cut.

She even showed me a coffee table book, showcasing her & her family during the aftermath of a major Southern California earthquake (Northridge Quake, 1994). All very interesting and informative, indeed! Parking is very easy and you can grab a snack around the corner before your appointment. What's not to love? Can't recommend this place enough!

She was incredibly patient, really took the time to understand what I wanted, and helped me choose a color combination that turned out even better than I imagined. You can tell she truly knows what she's doing and cares about her clients feeling confident and happy. On top of that, she's just so kind and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I walked out feeling like a whole new person. Highly recommend Jess if you're looking for highlights or a color refresh!

Edit: not the owner trying to make excuses instead of holding her stylist accountable. BFFR Period…read morepoint blank I have made time out of my days to commit to our appointments and the first time I did have to change the appointment I stated IF SHE CANT ITS FINE WE CAN STICK TO ORIGINAL, no biggie I can make the original, and then she cancels like bruh we could have stuck to the original & then I couldn't say yes to appointments offered the following day or week because: 1. I had a flight the next day like at 6am 2. when I return I go back to school Mon- Thurs literally 10am -3:30pm and then 6:30pm-9 3. I work 14 hour shifts Fri- Sunday . Not once did she offer if I'd like another stylist , not once did she offer a real accommodation . Let's be real and hold accountability , because this second cancel the day of appointments, messaging me hours before on IG asking to move my appointment earlier to then canceling is WILD . Original : I know the stylists have their own way of booking or dealing with affairs apart of the salon but I think it's wild they have a rebooking fee of over $30 if client has to reschedule last minute their appointments BUT when I get my appointment canceled TWICE by the stylist ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT , due to "family emergencies" that apparently always happen. I think it's wild that a stylist can waste a clients time and day considering the first time it was canceled I had planned to get my hair cut before my birthday trip and today it got canceled I had just told my boss no to coming in for a shift because of my scheduled appointment ... what do we clients get in return besides wasted time and lost money ? At least she returned my $20 deposit that has been kept since August but damn , homegirl really needs to take care of home before taking appointments , we have a life out here too.

Heather was able to read me well. The hair washing experience is pretty new to me ( i haven't had a cut in 2ish years) and it was so soothing. As she cut my hair she was explaining the steps being taken. Everyone else there also seemed super nice. They were laughing with each other and with their clients. I genuinely felt comfortable. My hair came out exactly how I asked. She just read me like a book. I got so many compliments from the other stylists and from my friends at work. I felt super confident with my cut. Thanks Heather !!
