Roberto is the best stylist I've ever had. I've never met someone more authentically OBSESSED with their craft and with making their clients feel beautiful. 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!

Roberto is amazing! He just cut my hair a week before I left to school in New York. Even though there are many stylist here in NY I am going to wait until the semester is over because that is how much I trust Roberto with my hair.I added an old picture of when I got a rainbow done under my hair and it came out fabulous! Also I noticed someone gave him a one star and I would like to address this as a long time customer of Roberto's. Future customers please remember Roberto is a human being he has the right to have days off just like every one else. He has the right to respond during his work hours even if its not convenient to you (he should not be expected to be available 24/7) He is a professional and as such realize that he might be booked up to two weeks but he is totally worth the wait. If you believe that you are special and Roberto needs to answer you right away because customers are always right then maybe someone as amazing as Roberto isn't for you. If you are the kind of person that says , "I was always told customer is always right and you will do anything to make it right." Then you should find a stylist somewhere else. Roberto deserves to be treated with respect and so should his profession. Also He does not need luck he has mad skills.

Mmmmmm .... would you believe that I have that dark latino hair that almost is impossible to make blonde???? Roberto is magic.

All day, every day I will rant and rave about how absolutely talented Roberto is!!! I have been with him since the beginning, and I once referred to him as a "Hair God", but I have since realized he is THE HAIR GOD! I am not a hair model by any means, nor did I have a job that forced me to style it each day... But EVERY SINGLE DAY MY HAIR WAS AMAZING... THANKS TO ROBERTO!!! My hair NEVER was damaged, nor did I ever leave the salon with ANY regrets! EVER. NEVER EVER. It was always like Damn... I thought I loved him before but now I am on another level! Swear. Everyone who ever saw my hair would ask where I got it done... and then, Roberto would show them the light!!! One session, you are hooked... his talant for blonde is the gateway drug to everything beauty... you will never be the same! He is highly skilled and continuously invests in himself with training and practice. He has this relentless spirit when it comes to the beauty industry that HANDS DOWN you will not find in anyone else! And he is so freaking awesome too!!! Ruggedly adorable, sassy, spunky, funny, deep, real, goofy, stylish, fun, a great listener and always has great stories... like I can go on, but I already listed over 10 things and we vant give away ALL his secrets on why he is the MOST AMAZING stylist!!! For real. Go to him. Change your life. You will praise him and be the most beautiful you have ever been. Also, tip big... that's how he stays in the know and gives you ANYTHING and EVERTHING you want and need... there's no room in this world for a broke ass stylist with talent, I'm pretty sure that is how the 80s happened... and we arent trying to go back....

I am very skeptical when it comes to hairstylists. Roberto is the only hairstylist that I trust to work on my hair now, he is seriously the best! He uses very high quality products (which smell amazing), it makes my hair soft for days after visiting him. He has great recommendations for various hair products. I came to him with a general idea and he completely amazed me with how spot on he was and how he even made it better than I could've imagined! I get compliments on my hair everywhere I go now! It is so wonderful to meet such a delightful hairstylist with creativity and talent. He is my go guy! You definitely need to check him out.

Krista C.

I am so so glad that I found Roberto! I messaged him on Instagram and he responded practically immediately, he gave me a starting quote and was able to get an appointment a couple days later. I will not let anyone touch my hair other than him from now on! The time and effort he puts into your hair made me immediately trust him. I think his prices are too low! I gave him a general idea of what I wanted but this was my first time dyeing my hair so I let him do what he thought would be best for me. The health of my hair was very important to me. I thought it would be ruined with all the bleach but my hair still feels extremely soft. He uses the greatest products and has you leaving with beautiful, healthy hair.

I have been seeing Roberto since summer 2018 and it has been the best decision ever! He did exactly what I wanted. He works MAGIC on hair. I started off with virgin hair and now I have amazing highlights! I recommend him to everyone I know! Two people have already went to see him with a few more on the way! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your hair and/or to find someone who's good. I was totally there. My hair fell out from a poor job the last stylist who worked on my hair, so it was really hard to trust and find someone good. Plus, my hair fell out again after I had a baby. I ended up growing out my hair for a year before I finally decided to see someone. My friend actually recommended Roberto long before. When I finally gave him a shot, it's been nothing but amazing! He doesn't just make it look good at the moment, he colors it to where it gets better and better as it fades TRUE TALENT. Roberto has a lifer with me

Absolutely in love with all of Roberto's work. I'm always amazed by how he transforms my hair somewhat temperamental curly hair! He is a true artist and I trust everything he does!! Not to mention one or the coolest people in the world to hang out with! Highly recommend!!

Christine A.

I've been going to Robert for almost 4 years and followed him from another location because his work is BOMB!!!! I always leave the salon lookin 100 ‍ He tells you what's best for your hair, gives you what you ask for, recommends products, and keeps it real. Good times, good laughs, and amazing hair. Ive sent many friends to him because I trust him. My hair magician!

Viv C.

I will never trust anyone else with my hair ! I love love loooovvvveee coming to you Roberto !! U are literally the best ! You always make all this hair look BOMB !! Thank you so much ! Telling all my friends about you !

All over gloss, haircut, deep conditioning treatment & he installed my halo! He does it all
Allyson Q.

Been getting my color done with Roberto for years, he is professional and on time. Always responds in a timely manner(unless he is off work and taking a much needed break) and works with my hair and inspiration I show him. He is so talented and constantly telling me about all the classes he takes to perfect his skills for us as clients. 100% recommend all of my friends to him, he's an honest professional! Thank you again love for my Victoria secret bombshell hair! Xoxo see you soon

Amanda A.

Eeeeek!!!! I was so happy with my hair and makeup by Roberto!!! He went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and beautiful! I live in Orange County but he is worth the drive!!! Can't wait to make an appointment with him and only him!

How do I make an appointment?

Please text me at 909-904-5444

What is your pricing for a long layered haircut?

My hair is naturally similar to the looks in your photos when air dried. I protect my hair by washing gently and using no heat or product. Will you cut my hair if I come with clean, damp hair and leave without product or heat styling?

How much is a balayage for long hair?

How much would you charge to do an all over dye that's currently a red ombre to Smokey Silver?

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

For me, I got a fresh balayage. Maly fixed my previous bleach, toned my hair twice for the perfect shade, then gave me a nice cut & styled it beautifully. I honestly didn't know how to explain what I wanted, but I showed her a few inspo pics & she immediately knew what to do. Her salon is small & tucked away in a little plaza in Long Beach, but so worth finding! We actually know about her because my mom's coworker referred us! The atmosphere is so intimate with only 3 salon chair. Oh! She treated us to complimentary ramen & donuts lol. Prices are unbelievably affordable.. only $400 for both of us, including tip! That's rare these days!! The only small note is that Maly has a bit of a heavy hand while working!! My mom on the other hand said she actually loved it because it felt like a scalp massage . Overall, we're obsessed with our new hair and will definitely be back.

Brenda is super knowledgeable and explains everything she's using and why, which made me feel so comfortable during the whole process. You can tell she specializes in blondes -- her work is stunning. On top of that, she's just fun to be around. The whole appointment felt easy and relaxed. I'm obsessed with my results and couldn't be happier. 5 stars all the way -- highly recommend if you're looking for a true blonde specialist!

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.

I've been gatekeeping Kyle for years, but it's time to share the wealth because he is THAT good…read more Kyle is a true balayage mastermind. The blend, the tone, the grow-out -- everything is always flawless. My hair never looks brassy or overdone, and it somehow manages to look better and better as it grows out. I can't tell you how many times I've had complete strangers stop me to ask who does my hair or if they can take a photo for inspo. No exaggeration. Beyond the talent, Kyle actually listens. You don't have to over-explain or bring a million photos -- he just gets it. Every appointment feels easy, consistent, and intentional, and I always leave feeling like my hair looks expensive (in the best way). I've trusted him with my hair for years and wouldn't go to anyone else. If you're looking for natural, lived-in, perfectly blended color... this is your sign.

SUM: booked an appointment here with kyle after reading the yelp reviews because my lifelong hairstylist retired. you pay half of the cost as a deposit up front and the second half is due at the end of the appointment. i actually really love this because it spreads out the cost and i'm not shelling it all out in one go. the appointment with kyle was a fantastic experience. not only is he skilled and gave me the exact cut i was looking for, he was also a great conversationalist. i spent the most relaxing saturday morning with him. kyle and beachy waves is now my go-to!
