Janine T.

In the hair world, you get what you pay for, and Be Scene is one of the leaders in hair coloring. Donna spent 8 hours lifting my hair from black (with some box dye remnants) to a light blonde that could take a silvery, lavender purple. My hair isn't nearly as fried as I thought it would be after such a severe bleaching, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Would def recommend!

Diane T.

It took me forever to find the stylist I needed for the cut and color I wanted - BeScene was the move and Linda was the color expert and Kanh came through with the cut! I showed Linda ONE picture and she turned my dark black hair into this amazing, vibrant magenta without leaving my hair feeling dry or damaged. She had my ass the chair for a whole day - Sorry Linda - but it was worth it. I don't mind taking risks with my hair as far as cut and color. Never found a stylist that could roll with want I wanted, until now. Linda is - 10 outta 10.

I just got my 3rd service done by Ken. When I sit in his chair I know I am in good hands and he truly understands the assignment. Each time I've come to him I haven't had an exact look I was going for and just gave him some vibes and reference photos that show things I like...and still each time he delivers better than I could ever explain for myself! I've sent two friends to him since working with him as a stylist and he has also delivered above and beyond their expectations. Ken is creative, skillful, and an incredibly hard worker. Thank you so much for taking care of me Ken!

Apparently this is Charcoal ash blonde balayage ....

This place was disappointing. I made an appointment with April but it was cancelled by the salon so I opted to reschedule with Linh (the owner) thinking you can't go wrong with the owner/master stylist- my appointment was made a month in advance and cancelled last minute because his baby mama was giving birth or something -why are you telling me this receptionist? very professional. I finally came in a few weeks later and as all the reviews mentioned, you wait at least 45-60 minutes before you're actually seated in the salon chair so that was fun but it'll all be worth it they said. I showed Linh pictures of what I wanted from HIS Instagram page and he asked if I had died my hair recently and I told him I had dark brown dye from my wedding over a year ago. He shrugged but said he'd have to bleach my entire head once maybe twice to get the result. I wanted an ash blonde charcoal balayage look he had done to another girl recently. He made it seem like I was asking for the impossible. Why post photos of all these crazy hair colors you do if you can't accomplish it? Maybe put a disclaimer: if you're hair is black, thick, curly, more than 10 strands, this hair style won't work for you. After bleaching/burning my scalp twice, my hair was 1)fried and 2) nowhere near the color i asked for and not to mention sitting in a salon chair for 8 hours is not normal especially if the end result is horrifying. I ended up leaving the salon unhappy and Linh was nowhere to be found after my blowdry. He knew my hair was a disaster and didn't even come out to see it. A week later, the lady that blowdries my hair weekly saw my hair and was shocked. I wasn't able to see inside my hair like she did and she took photos of uneven bleach and color and that was the last straw. I sent the photos to Linh and for $500, this was an amateur job. $10 Boxed dye would've been a better job. I went back to bescence after Linh told me to return so he can "fix it"... I couldn't handle more bleach so I told him to just even and tone out the random colors he put before. He kept blaming my thick middle eastern hair which was annoying - if you can't handle different types of hair, you shouldn't own a salon.

Wedding hair balayage/foilyage by Eunice Kim.
Esther Y.

This review is for Eunice Kim, who crafted my wedding day hair color literally DAYS before my wedding. I've never gone to her before, but needed a new stylist ASAP because I had a scheduling conflict with my usual stylist. She simply delivered, and I received so many compliments about my hair. She was attentive and extremely professional, all under the pressure of doing a new client's wedding hair. I asked for a natural, warm brown foilyage and wanted a base bump. I initially went too blonde, but she immediately fixed the issue by retoning me to the shade I wanted. She was very accommodating, and I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to go blonde but nervous about where to start. I have no doubt that she'll listen to what you're really asking for. Thank you Eunice for making my big day extra special!

Nancy A.

I booked my appointment online and it just so happened that Linh, the owner, was available on the day that I was looking to come in. The receptionist left me a voicemail the morning of the appointment to tell me that Linh does not see new clients if it's their first time at the salon. I wasn't able to check my phone at work and rushed out of work so that I could make it in time for my appointment. They were going to cancel my appointment but luckily another stylist was available. I have black hair and wanted to go blonde so they asked me to send a picture first to make sure their hair colorist could do it. She agreed and so I rushed from Baltimore to keep my appointment time. The salon itself was trendy and spacious but I didn't feel very welcomed. The stylists there seem like they're all friends and talk to each other while clients are in the chair without acknowledging the client. I saw Kiani for my color. She was friendly and everything but I was disappointed at first when my hair turned out blue. I was exhausted after six hours in the chair so I just wanted to leave after the blow dry. She told me that she overtoned it and that it will wash out nicely to blonde. It eventually did but it took about two weeks. I returned to see Kiani for root touch up and wasn't loving the color at first but, again, it washed out nicely in a few weeks. Kiani is a talented colorist but I probably wouldn't return to the salon since it's far, pricey, and not the best customer service, with the exception of Kiani. Make sure to chunk out a couple of hours for your appointment, eat and go to the bathroom before your appointment because I was there for 6 hours (a little warning would have helped, lol)

Before....the absolute horror
Ciarra F.

What can I say about this place.... I have gone to different salons over the years and BeScene Studios is by far the best!! The staff is always welcoming, kind, and hilarious. Ive been to salons before and felt uncomfortable because of lack of conversation or plain boredom...but here I feel like myself and it is always an entertaining visit lol....Now, let me tell you about Shayna...she has saved my hair more times than I can count!! Let me tell you, she is a BEAST at cuts and color!! I've gone to her with the world's worst ombre and she brought me back to life!! I am forever grateful for her magical hands, professionalism, and badassness.

Shag look
Alicia M.

Reina is the queen of short hair, color, and bangs. She did an amazing shag look on me! I got bangs for the first time since I was a little girl. She was so uplifting and made me feel confident the entire time. I live an hour away but I will most certainly be back to get my hair done. There is just no salon like Be Scene Studios. All of her coworkers kept coming up to us and complimenting her work and making me feel beautiful. As soon as I left the studio, everyone at work was complimenting me on my new hair (: Reina was very confident in her work and she knew what did and did not work on my face. Would definitely recommend Reina to anyone looking for a hairstylist. She is so kind and genuine and someone I will continue to trust with my hair.

Shela H.

Had a great experience front start to finish. Lexy Byun did my hair and I'm so glad she did!!! Lexy was both friendly and professional. She answered any questions I had with detail. Without an ounce of doubt, Lexy took really good care of my hair. Prior to the appointment she was very communicative via text - she originally has Wednesday's off but the online appointment booker showed her as available. Even so, Lexy was still okay with me coming on Wednesday (note: she's normally available on Fridays and Thursdays). With the appt being on her day off she still took her time to ensure quality and that I was happy during the process and with the result. Her great work ethic and friendly personality got me to trust her with my hair. Will be booking my future hair appts with Lexy for sure!

Color by Shaine. Top two photos were taken in the salon with their camera. Bottom two were selfies the following morning (no filter).
Tiffany N.

Shaine did an amazing job! I came in with mostly virgin dark hair and after about 5-6 hours or so I left with this amazing multicolored fun "peekaboo" style! Shaine did an awesome job working with me on deciding the final outcome and explaining the pros and cons of different shades of colors. While she gave her own ideas, I really felt like she took the time to completely understand what I wanted which is super important. She implemented a lot of different techniques to achieve this look. She's super skilled while also being very personable! She also gave me aftercare recommendations and helped me understand what to expect. So I left feeling really good. I am super happy with how everything turned out! The whole thing was $285 before tip. And it was 100% worth it!

Still wanted to keep the brown color but have more of a balayage effect. Done by Victoria E.
Allison S.

Since 2015, I have been going to the one and only Victoria E. for coloring my hair. It was fate that my sister and I met Victoria because not only is she our go-to hair colorist, but she is one of our closest friends! Victoria is everything that you are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect hair professional. She is talkative, super nice, hardworking, and laidback. She's also great at giving you the color you want and providing the least amount of damage to your hair. My sister and I always have a blast when we go to Victoria! Recently, Victoria has been on temporary leave from Be Scene, so she recommended us to go to April. This was my first time letting someone else besides Victoria color my hair, so I was a little nervous but also very excited! I like to see how each hair colorist performs their magic in their own way. And guess what? Victoria was absolutely right about April! She is also very nice, and she is very dedicated and passionate at what she does because it truly shows in her work. In addition, the hair assistants and other staff members at Bescene are friendly and welcoming as well. You guys should definitely check out either Victoria (once she comes back) or April if you want your hair to look easy, breezy, and beautiful!

Got a recommendation to go here and since I was going to be in the area, I thought, what the heck, why not. It was a nice experience but this was two years ago. I just needed my hair color corrected. Initially I wanted to do something out of the norm hair look as is their specialty. My stylist Anh and I decided to correct my color first then come back later to do lighten my whole head like I wanted. But after the correction, I was already happen and just didn't get around to coming back. I also decided that I'm done coloring my hair. At least for now and for a long time. What I would come back here for are those Eleven Australia hair products. I'm really sold on them. ♥

Ashley S.

Now that our go-to hair colorist, Victoria E., is on maternity leave, we went with the recommendation of April. My sister and I are so happy choosing April for our hair coloring. We both were coming in with dark roots and light hair (our previous pink and purple colors faded into a light blonde-brownish color). We both wanted a change of scene *pun intended* and wanted to go darker with a healthy hair method. Finally, no bleach was used!!!! Anyways, April was sweet, bubbly, and listened to our color detail. She offered her personal opinion and a step-by-step plan of how our hair was gonna look, the fading process, and how to manage/treat the color of our hair. She was so meticulous to the point where she mentioned to me about silk/satin pillow cases and what hair products she likes to use! Allison ended up with a dark brown-hint of purple hair, whereas I ended up with a beautiful ashy metallic brown hair with different lowlights? & highlights?. (? I can't remember exactly what she did) Check out my yelp images, but the pictures don't do the beautiful coloring justice. THANK YOU APRIL :)

I had warned them about this beforehand, but no one ever seems to really take me seriously LOL. In order to not damage my hair Jane took an entire 5 hrs! working on it, and was very patient the entire time. This was both a pro and a con - pro in that my hair did not come out fried, as it often can, but con in that 5 hrs is a really long time to be spending sitting in a hair salon! They made sure I had water and a bathroom break, which was very considerate. Jane seemed very knowledgeable and specifically did different treatments for the parts of my hair that hadn't been permed before vs those that had. The top layer took very well. The cons: Again, 5 hrs... I very much appreciate them not wanting to fry my hair, but maybe a little speeding up could have been done? Also, while the top layer permed well, the bottom didn't really take - see photos. Also, just FYI, but there is no validated parking. It wasn't terrible to pay the garage, but just something to be aware of. Overall I really appreciated all the time and patience they took, to specially alter treatments for different parts of my hair, and try to not damage it. If there is some kind of middle ground to be able to do the perm and have it take completely in all the hair, and with less time, that would be ideal.

I wanted to go darker, shorter and mature. Jessica has always been my girl and she did an amazing job getting me to where I wanted. I would definitely say we cut at least 6 inches off. It did take a while (8 hours to be exact), but if that's what it takes to get my hair looking amazing then so be it. They have plenty of snacks and drinks available or you can always order food for delivery. Went yesterday and it was super quiet. So I highly recommend going on a week day if you can so it's not as packed. The salon is very clean and inviting. Everyone who works here is very sweet. I haven't tried their scalp/head massage station since they've added it but heard good things.
