Blonde highlights are not easy to get right and especially to make your hair look naturally blonde like it was in those earlier youthful years! Having lived in many states and many cities, I have been to soooo many different salons/ stylists that did not do as great as a job as she does! I can confidently confirm she is exceptionally skilled with color! I am very thankful I found her. Even though crazy to believe, I seriously drive 5 hours ONE WAY from where I live, just to get my hair colored by her! Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I would be willing to drive so far to get my hair done but I do bc SHE is worth it to me! I always leave so happy with how my hair looks and feeling like my best self!!!! Beyond being so very talented stylist she is also very kind, thoughtful and pleasant during her services , which is just the extra cherry on top! You will not leave disappointed with her. Thank you for being SO AWESOME Celina!!!

Celina has been doing my hair for two years now and she always knocks it out of the park! Not only…read moreis she wonderful to chat with, but you can tell she has great expertise with doing hair. She always nails the layers in my cuts, and at my last appointment I spontaneously asked if we could do some highlights and she was so flexible and was able to accomodate me on the spot and gave me the best hair of my life! I've received so many compliments with her cut and colors. If you're in Anchorage I would highly recommend coming to Celina!

Brian always takes into account what I want while also offering professional insight that truly elevates the final result. I came in looking for a cut and all over color, and the results far exceeded my expectations!! Not only did my hair turn out absolutely beautiful, but the entire experience is always relaxing, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable. What really stands out is the attention to detail and passion for his craft. You can tell they truly care about their clients and take great pride in their work!! I love this salon and these folks are fantastic and always make you feel at home and your hair will look amazing after your appointment!

The lady that took me was young (prob around 20) but said she had been cutting hair for about 2 years. She was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was clean and professional. However, my haircut is mediocre at best. I know it's all one length and it is hard to get it perfect but a bob should be all one length and look sharp. This haircut clearly has two layers, is lopsided, and my underside is longer.

Even showing other barbers a picture of a decent slightly long, maybe retro to be that long, hair cut. I got exactly what I wanted here and consistently. It's amazing how resistant other barbers are to anything without a puff on the front. But I recommend going here. Just show a picture of what you want and you will get it.

Tiffany is definitely one of those hidden secrets that you're torn between sharing with everyone…read moreand keeping to yourself for fear of that she will become so popular that you can never get in. But she deserves this rave review. Tiffany works at the same salon as my previous long time stylist, who recently finished nursing school and is no longer currently doing hair. You know a stylist is good when YOUR stylist goes to them for their hair, so I switched over to Tiffany at her recommendation. My hair has looked a lot of ways over the last 40 years of my life, and I'm no stranger to all manner of color applications. But today (my second appointment) Tiffany gave me the best looking hair of my life. Instagram hair. I am turning heads while wearing sweats at the airport hair (I'm literally at the airport right now). I'm a grungy Arctic wildlife biologist so I take quite a bit of effort to polish up. So take my advice and go see her. I'll be mad that this review has made it difficult for me to get an appointment, but you will be very, very happy.

We walked in with a tiny idea and somehow Ashley turned it into a full on dream come true. I'm still not sure if they're stylists/artists/geniuses... or just secretly magicians. They understand colors and shapes in a way that makes you look like the most radiant version of yourself. It's like they can see the "best you" before you even sit in the chair. And on top of that, their kind words and beautiful personalities shine just as bright as their talent. If you're looking for someone who already sees your beauty and knows exactly how to make you shine this is the place. You will leave feeling amazing, grateful, and more fabulous than when I walked in. Thank you for making the whole experience so wonderful! Ashley is the best!

She was doing my hair today and informed me someone found my old review helpful so I thought I'd update it to say I love Ashley and Studio FX so much I still come here to get my hair done even though I live in another state now. Everything I said in my first review still stands. The salon is clean and comfortable with plenty of plants on the wall. In addition to the services, they have a lot of great salon products and some cute things by local artists, including stickers and jewelry. Highly recommend Studio FX!
