I recently visited this salon for the first time and had a really good experience overall! It's…read moreconveniently located near my place, and I was able to get an appointment just a day prior by walking in -- super easy and quick. Since it was my first visit, they created my account on the spot and made the whole process smooth. I went for a layered haircut to shorten my hair a bit. I showed the stylist a reference picture, and she completely understood the look I wanted. The session started with a nice hair wash, followed by the cut and blow-dry. The stylist did a great job -- my hair feels light, fresh, and styled just how I envisioned. They also offered tea, coffee, or other drinks as a kind gesture, which I really appreciated. The entire service took about 45 minutes on a Sunday, and I walked out happy with the result. The total cost came to $99 including tax, which felt a bit pricey to me for a haircut. However, the experience and quality were good enough that I'd consider going back -- hopefully when they have some offers for their regular clients!

Last Sunday was my first visit to G & C Studio, and I'm so glad I finally found Gina!…read more Before making my appointment, I spent times to looking through reviews and photos, hoping to find a hairstylist who could truly understand what hairstyle would suit me. I'm happy to say that I believe I finally found the right stylist! Gina carefully evaluated my hair and recommended a digital perm that would best suit me. She explained that I would need three different levels of curls: a root perm at the top, soft curls in the middle, and medium curls at the bottom. I really appreciated how carefully she considered my hair and the style I wanted. She also pointed out that my hair is quite dry and recommended using K18 hair treatment after the perm to help repair and strengthen my hair. Her professional advice gave me so much confidence, and I had no worries at all. Thank you so much, Gina, for your professional recommendation and for taking the time to understand my hair. I'm very happy that I finally found a hairstylist I can trust!

I had a great experience at G&C Hair Studio! I went in wanting a short to medium layered haircut,…read morebut since I have naturally wavy/curly hair, my stylist took the time to explain that while it would look nice when straightened, it wouldn't be the best choice for how I normally wear my hair. I really appreciated his honesty and that he genuinely wanted me to leave with a haircut that suited my natural hair and lifestyle. We decided on long layers with face-framing pieces, and I absolutely love the result. He was kind, knowledgeable, and never made me feel rushed. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend G&C Hair Studio!

I absolutely love this salon and can't recommend LLS highly enough! Kris, who does my color and…read moreowns the salon, is phenomenal. She is an incredible listener and takes the time to understand exactly what I'm looking for, then talks through different options and the tradeoffs involved - especially when it comes to getting color to last versus how frequently I want to come in for maintenance. She is thoughtful, honest, and incredibly attentive, and she always makes it clear that she'll work through any concern I may have with the result if something isn't quite right. That said, I've been coming to her for years and it has never not been to my liking. She just gets it right. Hayley is my stylist, and she is equally fantastic. She cuts the best bangs on the East Coast, is incredibly talented, and is also just a genuinely lovely person. Every haircut leaves me walking out with gorgeous hair. She takes the time to talk through how I actually style my hair at home (which, admittedly, is nowhere near as good as how she styles it!), what will change once I'm doing it myself, and gives me practical tips for recreating the look. I really appreciate that she considers not just how the cut looks when I leave the salon, but how it will work for me afterward. And the environment Kris has created is a huge part of why I keep coming back. It's warm, comfortable, and filled with an incredible combination of talented, thoughtful, and genuinely funny people. The attention to detail is exceptional, and it's abundantly clear that everyone there cares about their clients, their experience, and getting the little things right. Ive lived in JC for almost 7 years now, and salon hopped across at least 4 other salons before I found LLS - believe me when I say just how rare it is to find a salon with this level of talent - just book your appt. now, trust me.

I came in very excited for my appointment and was expecting a full highlight/balayage…read moretransformation. Before booking, I sent photos of my current hair, a previous photo showing my balayage, and inspiration photos from Alysa's own page showing the dimensional, blended color I liked. I also spoke with someone at the salon beforehand and made sure my information was passed along to Alysa. I explained that I wanted to keep my hair on the lighter side since my current balayage was already more blonde. I was looking for warm caramel/honey tones, brighter face-framing pieces, soft ribbon highlights, dimension, and a natural blended finish. During my appointment, Alysa asked what I wanted, and I specifically told her in person that I wanted the color brought closer to the root with a blended transition. Unfortunately, the final result did not match the vision we discussed or the inspiration I provided. The back and crown area remained very dark, and the result felt more like a shadow root and refresh of my previous color rather than the full highlight transformation I was expecting. It appears that the new growth was mainly shadowed and the existing lighter pieces were re-lightened instead of creating the brighter, dimensional look I requested. The color also turned out more brassy than I expected. I felt the toning process was rushed. It seemed like the toner was applied and rinsed out very quickly rather than being left on long enough to properly neutralize the brassiness and achieve the softer tone I was looking for. I was also disappointed with the finishing of my hair. After a color service at this price point, I expected a polished salon finish, but my hair was left puffy, rough, and not styled the way I expected. It felt like there was still product left in my hair, and I had to go home and fix it myself. The blowout fee was an additional $80, which made this even more disappointing. My previous stylist was very detail-oriented and always took her time. Even though she relocated far away, I always left her salon feeling confident, with my hair fully styled, soft, and beautiful. I have never left a salon feeling like the stylist was rushing through the service. I also did not appreciate the way Alysa discussed my hair being "not prepped" while speaking with another stylist in front of me. I was never sent preparation instructions or an email explaining that my hair needed to be prepped in a specific way before my appointment. I have never heard of needing my hair "prepped" in that way, especially since many salons actually recommend coming in with hair that has not been freshly washed before a color service. If there were concerns, I would have appreciated being informed directly and professionally rather than hearing the conversation while it was being discussed with another stylist. I also feel I was overcharged for the service I received. I paid for what I understood to be a full highlight, but the final result appears more like a partial highlight with a shadow root and a refresh of my existing color. The outcome did not reflect the level of service or transformation I expected for the price I paid. The most disappointing part is that after spending this much money, my friends and coworkers did not even notice that I had my hair done because the overall appearance looked so similar to my previous color. I was expecting a noticeable, brighter transformation, and instead I left feeling like the change was minimal and not worth the time, cost, or effort. The service was $560, and I still left a $125 tip because I appreciated the stylist's time and effort. However, I was disappointed because the final result did not match what I requested. I now have to find another salon to correct the color because my crown area is still mostly dark, which is not what I wanted. Overall, this experience felt like a waste of time and money. I paid the same price at other salons and left with hair that was beautiful, soft, fully styled, and exactly what I asked for. Unfortunately, I would not return or recommend this salon. I would advise others to be cautious and think twice before booking, especially if you are looking for a detailed color transformation and a stylist who truly takes the time to understand your vision. A stylist who takes pride in their work should not let a client leave feeling like they received a partially completed service after paying for a premium color service and blowout.

I've had a long struggle with finding stylists who will listen, and faced quite an extensive past of stylists who just cut off waaaay too much hair.

I booked an appointment with Wilson Li specifically because he is a senior stylist and I was…read morelooking for a certain level of experience, professionalism and, most importantly, someone who would listen to what I wanted. When I sat down, I was very clear: I was tired of my current hair and did not want the same haircut again. I showed Wilson a photo of the style I wanted and explained that I was looking for a noticeable change. Unfortunately, I left feeling as though very little of what I said actually mattered. Throughout the appointment, Wilson repeatedly described what he was doing as being "easy for you" and told me my hair was now "refreshed." But I wasn't asking for easy or refreshed. I was asking for a different haircut. I take excellent care of my hair, I style it every day, and I never suggested that I wanted something low-maintenance. At one point, I even pointed out the shampoo assistant's bangs because I liked them. Wilson's response was essentially that she has to blow her hair every day. Again, why was the assumption being made that I wouldn't be willing to do the same? Rather than asking me about my styling routine or how much maintenance I was comfortable with, he seemed to make that decision for me. That was the most disappointing part of the experience. I didn't feel listened to, and I didn't feel that Wilson was particularly interested in understanding what I wanted. He gave me his interpretation of what he thought would be appropriate or manageable for me instead of the haircut I was asking for. The haircut itself may be technically competent, but that isn't enough when you're paying for a senior stylist. A great stylist should combine technical skill with consultation, curiosity and respect for what the client is actually asking for. I walked in saying, "I don't want the same old haircut," and unfortunately walked out feeling like I had exactly that. For the money I spent and the level of stylist I deliberately booked, I was extremely disappointed.

I nearly fell asleep in the chair and woke up with the job done. It's very pricey but I was comfortable the whole time. So, great service but expect a sad wallet if it's not in your price range. That said, pretty standard pricing for the location. If you're going to bleach your hair, you'd probably get the most out of it by trying a funky cool color but I just like the natural look. There's a discount if you have student ID. Would recommend this place.

I asked for ash brown (which I usually get) but I got a way lighter color than expected and the bleach (he went over the bleach twice) really damaged my hair. On top of that, they charged me for a haircut I never asked for. During the balayage, the stylist cut/thinned (no idea what he did because he never asked me) some of my hair (maybe 10 "snips"?) and they later charged me an additional $70 for the "haircut." This really pissed me off because in the middle of my appointment, I even heard an assistant ask in Mandarin "is she getting a haircut?" and the stylist shook his head. I was really unhappy with my hair that I went to get a hair treatment (for the dry, damaged hair) and toner at a different salon a week later. That stylist even asked "who did your hair?"

I'll be here for a long while ladies! I fully recommend it. The two stylists, Michael and Stefany speak hair. They can offer valuable suggestions about your requested look. They are honest about what will work or not... they will cut only what you ask! 1/2 inch means 1/2 inch trim.

Already looking forward to a trim and touch up for spring! Highly suggest this place everyone! I'd rate 20 stars if I could. The vibe is easy in there, staff is happy and professional and they make you feel as if you're family.
