I am confused. I use to be a client of Maria's and even use to tip her double the amount because she was inexpensive and I like to see myself as being generous and I like supporting small business but during my last two visits she raised the price to double what I use to pay her. No explanation and no notice. I guess she can charge her clients whatever she wants and that is fine with me but a friend of mine also goes to her once in a while and she says she charges her the lessor amount. I also texted her several times the last month but she doesn't respond back. I think it is rude when you are running a business and you don't respond back to several text messages or answer your phone. Very puzzling and unprofessional. read more

This review is long overdue! I've had many different people give me haircuts resulting in trust issues! I'm so glad I finally found Maria to give me my desired hair cut. She always makes sure I know what she's doing and she's very good at making me feel comfortable. Tell her what you want and that's exactly what she's going to give you. I've also noticed that my hair grows back healthier ever since she's started cutting my hair. read more

Before you come here, make sure to bring cash! This review is also a little overdue, as I had gotten a haircut back in March. But Maria did an amazing job with my hair. I have what is considered as thick, coarse hair that is a little wavy (Asian hair). THE SALON: It's easy to miss, but it wasn't such a big issue for me. There was plenty of parking as well. The salon itself is a little more on the small side, but it was clean and it smelled nice. THE APPOINTMENT: During the appointment, she made sure to wash my hair, which was one of the most relaxing services I had ever received. If you're a little short like me though, you might strain your neck from leaning your head back into the sink (but at least my hair smelled super nice!). Right after she led me to the chair, she made sure to ask if I was comfortable with the length of hair she wanted to cut. She took her time with my hair and made sure to not use thinning scissors on me (yay!). When she was finally done, Maria straightened my hair to make sure I had volume. The end result was hair with volume that didn't look weighed down and moved easily. She was able to tame my hair and managed to make it look polished. FINAL THOUGHTS: Maria's experience would definitely make me come here again! read more

So happy with my haircut:) I had a haircut gone wrong & Charro saved me. They were able to fit me right in. Super sweet ladies working at the location. Conveniently located for me. I would recommend. read more

I went to Maria with a bad hair cut from a previous hairstylist. When I walk in she told me not to worry that she was going to fix my hair. I showed her the exact picture I had shown the previous hairstylist (different hair salon) an she actually did what I ask. She is amazing!! I'm going to thank my coworker for recommending me to her she is wonderful. Please people don't get confuse she in the back building behind crystal water. I was about to walk in to the wrong salon. Thank God I called her, she came out her door to direct me to her. read more

...all these reviews are too kind. Although Maria was welcoming and kind her hair expertise was just meh. I have been trying to find my next go to stylist since my last one moved out of the country. Environment: Quaint. Clean. Awkwardly quiet, she clearly feels more comfortable speaking spanish. While there, Maria's power breaker went off twice; she had a fan and blow dryer running. Hair experience: I have thick hair with subtle waves. Upon entering, Maria didnt even look at my hair, which i made sure to leave natural so she could see how it falls; she went straight to washing. I showed her a few pictures and she got to cutting. When it came to texturizing my hair she brought out the dreaded thining shears... makes your hair look frizzy when growing out. I made a face... she was like, "oh, you want me to use these ones instead", as if i was suppose to know the difference. Both awere similar in design. She continued. When it came to my "blow out" it was even clearer that Maria could't handle my hair; she ended up whipping out the flat iron. I saw Maria back in January. My hair hasnt grown as it typically would with a good hair cut. As suspected... frizz. And even clearer, uneven hair cut. Maria nice, welcoming and cheap; hair cut-meh. Wouldn't go back nor recommend anyone to her. ...most people never mention the type of hair they have in these reviews, but for my thick and wavy hair, so crucial. read more

Pretty much the real deal. Profile picture is a cut from Maria!!! read more

Maria is an excellent stylist very professional also has a good location I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends if what they are looking for is good service. Call her and make your appointment! read more

I had really long hair and cut it myself with two pigtails and came here to get it straightened out. Rosie did such an amazing job and really listened to what I asked for. She took her time and made sure I was satisfied with the cut before styling it. I would recommend her to anyone! 13/10. read more

Waste of time always say they're close Wanted to walk in but it seems like no one works there and it looks so ghetto here I wouldn't want you to waste your time here read more

I was looking for a new spot since my guy went MIA & got my hair destroyed by a lady who didn't cut my hair right. Called Maria she was so friendly and tried to get me in even went in on Sunday for me, when she doesn't work Sundays. I appreciated that with such a hectic schedule of mine. She went step by step how to correct my hair and suggested better options. She's all about customer service. And i absolutely loved how she styled my hair. Gave life back to it. She's truly amazing and even said if there was something I wasn't happy with I can always call her back! She's amazing. She's my new go to! read more

I had my previous hair dresser for over 10 years. I was scared of trying someone new. I'm so releived. Maria did a great job with my new purple hair =) I didn't think it was going to take 8 hrs but it was worth it. Maria really cares about not damaging hair. I much rather take 8 hrs at the salon and leave with healthy hair than 4 hrs and leave with damaged hair. I loved the fact that when I was there, she was only focused on me. By appointment only. Which is perfect for anyone with a busy schedule. By little one hates cutting her hair. (7 yr old girl) She has previously walked out on 3 hair dressers mad cuz they cut too much or she didn't like it....I had my fingers crossed with Maria and she loved the way she cut her hair. I was amazed. I found my new hair dresser =) read more

Ok, seriously ladies, I've been looking for a gooood facial in the Valley, literally asking friends, family, and ultimately this led to a few not so great reccos, some I found here on Yelp... After coming to the Beauty Studio, all I can say is, thank GOD my search is OVER!! This place is the spot! I came in for a facial and not only is this place visually appealing with beautiful artwork and a peaceful CLEAN atmosphere, but the staff is super professional and takes it to a whole other level! I've had those super expensive facials at Burke Williams that did nothing for me, and I've had the super cheap facials that are sooo not worth the pennies I'd spent. The beautician Lisa is ubber professional and makes you feel right at home. I came here for a basic facial and got the works! Relaxing music, cleanse, steam, mask, pore cleanse, Glycolic peel, extraction, amazing neck, shoulder and arm massage with warm hand gloves to soften my hands. A full 45 mins of heaven! This is exactly what a girl like me needs! An incredibly relaxing facial with all the perks of an upscale salon, at super reasonable prices! And shes got a great special, if you recommend 4 friends, you get your facial free! I'm definitely bringin the crew for a girls night! :) I recommend contacting Lisa for a price on whatever it is you need, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, and come in with the cash or check! Keeps it simple :) Not only that, but come to find out, they offer full menu waxing, eyelash extensions, body facials, etc. Lisa was super knowledgeable about my skincare issues and had some amazing recommendations for helping with my rosacea and skincare maintenance... I am smitten... FINALLY, the valley has a real gem in its midst, and I can come back again and again and feel confident, I am doing great things for my skin when I visit the Beauty Studio. read more

I called to get info and decided to hang up on me. Instead of giveig me a second or say hold on. Horrible. !!

My first time here and absolutely pleased with Maria. Definitely coming back ! She took me in (walk-in) even though she typically does appointments only. I asked for a hair trim. She took her time and was very meticulous in keeping my long layers just as I asked. She noticed that my last cut was not even, and before she did anything to it she talked to me about it first before doing anything. Now that's customer service - love it! She styled and blow dryed my hair just the way I like it. read more

She did a very nice job. I tried doing my hair bright red on my own and missed so many spots. Maria fixed it for me I love it. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would...My hair was dry & just plain awful from all the flat iron I use. Came here today & I walked out feeling like a MILLION BUCKS! Maria is the sweetest most professional person to deal with. She knows her way with scissors, she made sure she explained to me what she could do so save my hair & went above my expectations, even my husband noticed and said it look amazing. Don't be fooled by the hair salon on the front, this salon is located towards the back part, you can't see it by just driving by!! I will never go anywhere else! read more

Hair cut was not that great but it wasn't bad neither... the only thing i didn't like about it is that she started to blow dry my hair when I told her not to (my hair gets really puffy when is blow dry and I was going to go wash it and put some new treatment I had just bought at home) anyways, she insisted to... I don't even know why we wanted to, she just started blow drying with out using a comb. and she left my hair all puffy just like I didn't want to. Price was not that bad though she charges $25 with wash and cut. read more

It was my first time ever coming here and first of all the salon is such a cute little hidden gem. I first called Maria and asked if she was taking any walk-ins and she gladly set up an appointment for the afternoon. She did a great job on cutting my hair and even had extra time to cut my sisters hair as well. I will definitely be coming back here for my haircuts and I'm so glad I found this place. (I asked her to cut 2inches off my hair and that's exactly what Maria gave me.) read more

Maria is great at what she does and such a sweetheart. She recommended some great products to try and I am loving them. My hair feels so healthy after my visit to her salon and let me tell you, I needed a fresh cut. Keep up the good work Maria! FYI, her shop is located in the back. Its a diamond in the rough and her décor is super cute. Love it. read more

Came to this place to get my first haircut in over a year. They made the process so simple, I let them decide what look to choose for me next. I was impressed with the results, this lady knows her way with scissors. read more

I had the most amazing experience coming here with Maria. I brought my mom (who is a breast cancer survivor and is very self conscious about herself) to get a hair cut and hair color and Maria was so welcoming and such a sweet persona. She makes you feel like family. She made my mom feel comfortable. Maria really knows what she's doing when it comes to hair styling, she makes the cut and color really match your facial structure. I will never go to anyone else! I highly recommend this place! Maria is honestly the best. read more

I posted an awesome review and for some reason Yelp removed it...When I was originally looking, I saw the poor reviews this salon had and figured that you just can't please everyone and thought I'd give it a try! I walked into the most gorgeous salon and the service was the best I've ever received! Maria was excellent! She spent so much time and gave my two sons the best hair cut they have ever had! Then she told me how to help me with hair issues that I've been having and I LOVE my new haircut! I can't say just how talented Maria is and how you can tell that she truly loves what she is doing! This is where we are going from now on! I loved her so much that I took both of my parents there the following week! Best thing is that she is open on Sundays too! Just call and leave her a message and Maria will get right back to you! Make sure you go to the building behind the main street - she's a little hard to find, but totally worth it!!!! read more

Maria is the best hair stylist hands down. She also cuts my 4 year old daughter's hair. We love her! She does awesome highlights and really takes care of you. I love that she takes you in by appointment because she only focuses on you. read more

Very friendly, great blow-out, not too expensive, clean salon with easy parking. Follow their instructions for finding them. The driveway is easy to miss. read more

I just came home from getting my hair done, I have visited 2 different salons in two years and I can say for the first time I have found the one!!! She did a great job, she took her time thing that you don't see anymore, she studied my hair and let me know what was the best cut based on my hair, she is an excellent person so welcoming. Thank You Maria, PD.- The best think my husband gave a big smile and said that I look Beautiful... I'm so happy... read more

Had the worst experience at this place. My regular salon is not open on Sundays so I went to this place. I was just going in for a blow dry and to have my hair styled (curled). I didn't get the ladies name but I'm assuming she's the owner because she came in just for me when I called the phone number listed. I told her what I needed. My hair was already washed and dry when I came in so she didn't even have to do that. Now on to the part that blew my mind. She parts my hair and grabs a strand. She put hairspray on that strand then starts to roll it up on the curling iron!!! I could hear my hair sizzling from the hairspray and heat of the curling iron! Are you kidding me?!?!? Are you trying to burn my hair!? She did that to about three strands, until I finally asked her to stop. She showed me what she had done and all I had was these stiff ugly curls! I was so upset but I didn't want to be rude so I asked her to just straighten my hair with the blow dryer. I showed her a picture of what I wanted which is SOFT big curls (which my stylist does perfectly in about half an hour). She looked lost and confused and couldn't figure out how my stylist did that with just a blow dryer and flat iron. Needless to say, all this lady did was leave my hair straight but frizzy. No curls. And she still charged me $25!!! I don't mind paying to have my hair done but when you can't do what I ask and you just dry my hair (which like I mentioned was already washed and dry) and you waste an hour of my time, I have a problem with that. I will NEVER go this place and I don't recommend it for your hair needs. This place needs to send their stylist to beauty school and freshen up on the latest hair trends and styling techniques. The lady was nice and like I said it's the only reason I wasn't rude to her but she needs to learn how to do what her customers ask. -Unsatisfied customer read more

I called Beauty Studio for an appointment and a woman answered who told me that the person I needed an appointment with was not there but she would have her call me. I waited all day and called again with no help. I finally made an appointment elsewhere and then received a text at the end of the day. I found this salon very unprofessional and unaccomodating. Don't count on this place. read more

Got my hair cut with Maria on Saturday and loved it!! I was a little skeptical at first because the salon was hidden behind a shopping center and it was my first appointment. But Maria was very sweet and welcoming. She asked me what I wanted and made sure to tell me that she would not cut more than I asked. It turns out some hairdressers actually listen to their customers. I got exactly what I wanted! Long beautiful layers. She's also very affordable and spends the right amount of time making sure her customers are happy. Thank you Maria! read more

I am very picky when it comes to getting my hair cut or dyed. After I could not longer find the usual gal that did my hair about 7 years ago. I tried a new place, big mistake! I then decided to trust a relative but that was a fail too. So I said well is anyone is going to mess up my hair it should be me. After years of dying and trimming my own hair I decided that it was time to try a professinal once more. Thank goodness my sister did first. She recommended Beauty Studio and told me that Maria would give me what I asked for with no bad surprises. Maria was amazing! It was jus a hair cut but none the less she took her time and did not rush. She asked me to look and make sure I was happy. I am a happy customer and will be returning until I have no hair on my head to take care of. Thank you so much for your great work. read more

Thank you Yelp!...After years of traveling 50 miles each way to a great girl I was recommended to, I decided to take a stab at Yelp. Although there were other salons that caught my eye (and had good ratings) I decided to give this place a call. Maria was able to fit me in the same day. To make a long story short, Maria was so sweet, very professional and had my best inerest at heart. She didn't push any products on me. Instead, she GAVE me shampoo and conditioner because she said the one I was using was too harsh for my hair. My haircut was perfect! She is reasonably priced on top of it all. I found my new stylist! Do yourself a favor and try her. read more

I was always iffy on getting facials because I had always heard horror stories. Now that I know who to go to (Lisa at Beauty Studio). DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY IT COVER! This is a small salon in Sylmar that sits behind a main building off of Foothill Blvd., but the inside has a modern look and is super clean. Lisa really knows what she's doing. I've done the mini facials as well as a full facial, they last between 30 minutes to an hour. But be warned... if you do the mini facial, you'll be left with wanting more! I without a doubt recommend you to go to Lisa. read more

Maria did my hair and my mom's hair for my wedding and it came out AMAZING. Maria persevered to get my stick straight hair to curl. My husband LOVED it. He had no words, only a big smile on his face. The only thing he could say is "Do you have to put it down?" My mom LOVED her hairdo. She is soooo much more inexpensive than other places I've been and I trust her completely. Thank you, Maria, for making my day special. :) read more

Ok so Maria at the beauty studio in sylmar did it again!! I went from black to blonde but decided to go carmel brown and she did amazing work. My hair looks so shiny healthy and the color is just what i wanted. So ladies and men call and book your appointment ;) read more

This is the 4th or 5th time I've visited; Every single time has been no less than amazing. Maria not only knows what she's doing but takes the time to make sure YOU know what she's doing, which ensures that she knows and does exactly what you want. Each time I sit in her chair we set expectations and she doesn't make a single cut until we are both confident of the plan and result. And the result is always beautiful :-) She also goes the extra mile to make sure I know how to style it afterwards and is so patient with any questions. I'll never go anywhere else! read more

If you need facials, waxing or lash extensions, Lisa is your girl. She is super sweet and friendly and she does a wonderful job. I've been to so many high end salons and paid much more for services that did not compare to the level of quality in her work. I highly recommend trying it out for yourself. read more

If I can give Maria more than 5 stars, I would do it without a doubt! I've always been so skeptical about beauty salons because in the past I've ALWAYS had bad experiences. However, I was in serious need of a haircut so I decided to give a salon another try. I called to make an appointment yesterday & she was able to take me in that same morning! Easy & fast, already a plus. The salon is a little hidden (next to the new hardware store on Foothill - back lot) but she made sure to give me clear instructions on how to find her which is another plus for me. When we got started, she made sure to ask me how I wanted my haircut. I explained that I wanted to get rid of my damaged ends while attempting to keep the length. Maria did JUST THAT! She gave me the trust I have been looking for while having very reasonable prices as well. She's a sweetheart & she did everything to make me feel comfortable! I received a text from her today following up on how I felt about my hair cut & her service (more points!) I made sure to tell her that I would definitely be referring friends & family to her. I'm excited for the next time I decide to get my hair done! Thank you Maria!! :) read more

The sweetest lady you will ever encounter!! Never did I know how neglectful and hurtful yelp could be! My sister posted a good review and it was removed! Anyways that's beside the point. . . . maria is amazing, caring, and super helpful! I had no idea what I wanted to do with my hair. I gave her an idea and she ran with it. My hair is so healthy now. Maria explained to me about her process to the perfect haircut : cut, style, and check. First she washes your hair with amazing products then sits you down, does her 3 step process, has you stand to make sure its perfect at all angles, and blow drys the hair for a final touch. All the products lisa uses are high end-- no typical corner beauty salon gunk! She goes above and beyond to satisfy you. I have serious and I mean serious hair loss she gave me great advice. By the bulk I could see that my hair was falling out when she was brushing (a preexsisting condition I noticed before). She advised I don't use conditioner and told me the main reasons for hair loss. After leaving the salon my hair has volume, is supple, and most importantly no more hair loss! If you want quality service by a caring and good listening person for an affordable price please book an appointment with her! It's the beauty salon located in the back behind the parking structure!!! Not the corner salon in the front structure. The reason for this review is because I want to be able to keep going to the cute salon nestled in the back with views of the mountains hosted by the sweet maria! Please visit her soon! read more
