I've seen her for other services in the past, which were always wonderful, but today she took care of me in a whole new way. Previously I have gotten her Classic Spa Facial, but today I had Dermaplaning & Waxing. The way my skin feels right now is exactly what I was craving. Smooth & glowing. Her space is clean, warm & inviting. She is a lovely, multi faceted woman with a keen sense of humor and wit. She always has an entertaining story to tell, or space for quiet and calm. I am already thinking about my next appointment! Thank you KT

The person waxing me, Desiree, was meticulous and did not leave one piece of hair behind. She used the hard wax and it was perfect my skin. It was so painless that at first it was hard to believe we were done (I also took pain medication 30 minutes before which I totally recommend). When you are done they add a cooling serum and glycolic acid serum. Also, since she used the hard wax, there was not that sticky after wax feeling!

The eyebrow tint and threading I received were ok (not the best), but I was very disappointed by the customer service here. I arrived on time for my appointment, and there was a client midway through a service. I had to wait 15 minutes, which isn't a huge deal, but there wasn't any acknowledgement of my appointment time or even a "welcome in". When I was told to sit down, Rekha proceeded to take a lot of photos of my face, and though there is a sign on the wall stating that these pictures are for educational purposes, I felt much more like a marketing tool than a valued client. I immediately noticed her using the same, unwashed brush on my face that she had used on her previous client. She talked herself up a lot and made some insensitive comments about how next time I could be "brave" and have my upper lip done. She also interrupted my service about halfway through to take care of a quick walk-in, which, again, wouldn't be a huge deal if she had been more polite about it. The end of the service felt rushed to me, which was probably because there was a long line of people waiting. Rekha had apparently booked two clients for the same appointment slot and also told a few others who had called that she had time for walk-ins. I know that mistakes happen, but she really didn't seem to care much, and it was very chaotic. I had also scheduled an eyelash tinting with her, which she forgot about and said she didn't have time for. At that point, though, I was happy to get out of there. TL;DR: Ok, not great threading and eyebrow tint, terrible customer service and subpar cleanliness.

They never let you know what you are being billed for or what they plan to do during your visit…read more Last time I checked out the bill felt high but it is what it. Until I thought about it and asked for an itemized breakdown. Turns out I was charged for two haircuts. Also you can book a cut and color but you end up with highlight a glaze and no haircut. They just do whatever they can charge most for in the time they have. Also very hard sell on products and lectured that if you don't buy products at the salon your hair won't last. Also some stylist require you to stay absolutely still for the entire 4 hour visit. The blame issues on bad color cut or timing on of you move in the chair. It expensive with no perks. No changing room no coat check. No water or coffee. Over priced budget service and every single person leaving the salon has the same cut and color.

I've never had hair problems before I started visiting this salon…read more Disappointed time and time again. I moved from Hawaii and was looking for a salon that specializes in quality hair care and a stylist that had experience with blondes. I did countless hours of research before deciding to come here, and I regret it deeply. I sent numerous photos of my hair, and how I liked how it was- just was moving and was looking to have the same hair highlights and overall color. Every-time I left the salon I was disappointed and felt worse than when I came in. I don't like ashy tones on myself, and every. single. time. I would voice I don't like this color, it's too ashy, and the stylist would just dismiss me and tell me that it's blonde and made me feel belittled to where I felt like my own opinion of my hair didn't matter. I've never left this salon happy with my hair, I've voiced my concern multiple times, but the atmosphere here doesn't feel welcoming if you voice your concerns so why would you want to go back for their "one week" guarantee. Shame on me for continuing to go back, I felt that if I kept giving it a shot maybe eventually my hair would look how the photos of my actual hair was before I moved, but low and behold, my hair is currently darker than my natural hair color.. My most recent visit is the reason for the review, and the reason I will not return, and encourage others to be cautious before choosing this salon. I came for a partial highlight, days before being in my best friends wedding to get lightened up before the big day. What a disaster. Immediately the stylist greeted me and said my hair was green( I disagreed), and asked if I've been in a pool- I haven't, as any blonde knows don't mix your hair with chlorine. She then asked if I had moved, which I had. I then explained that we had a brand new water filtration system installed, as well as a softener but she insisted that the well water caused my hair to be "green" Then we proceed, a few hours later I end up with my hair in a slicked back bun, because they can't get my hair untangled. I was sent home with my hair in a sopping wet bun and told to come back tomorrow. Never in my life have I heard of a salon sending you home and being told they'll fix it later. Needless to say. I went home crying. I called the company that installed our water system, they came out to our house the next day to test our water. Water results came back in, our water Ph, iron levels, etc were better than that of city water... so I'm not sure that my well is to be blamed for how wrecked my hair came out leaving this salon when I've had well water my whole life and my hair never ended up this tangled in my life. I rearranged my entire schedule to come back the next day, they shampooed me, and my hair was dark and ashy... surprise surprise. Disappointed yet again. I went to 2 other highly rated salons in the area to get a consult and another opinion, needless to say they completely disagreed with studio 101 assessment of my hair and did not think my hair had any damage from well water and I showed them the results from our water test. Thankfully I was able to have my hair fixed and highlights put back in from another salon. After paying thousands $$ and numerous visits being disappointed, voicing my concerns- yet being dismissed every time I will not be returning and I would urge others to be wary.
