While I went in for a much needed trim, I came out with an even better cut. The space is open and welcoming, and it was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Chatting with Olive was lively and fun, as we both used to live in Seattle and forged that connection. I've been in southern CA for over 20 years, and yet Seattle remains a strong thread. Now it's time for new Long Beach experiences, so thank you, Freebirds Salon!

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

I did a very thorough investigation on who I wanted to get my hair done with. It always came back to Roberto and his company Lucid Hair Lab.

I absolutely loved the haircut! She completely nailed the layers and curtain bangs exactly how I wanted them! The color, however, turned out much darker than we had agreed on. While I was bummed about that, Hailey's honesty and professionalism in handling the situation made all the difference. She handled the situation gracefully and offered to waive the color service for me. Her honesty, sincerity, and dedication to customer satisfaction is incredible, and I'm so happy I found her.

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.

It's hidden in a little shopping center and quite honestly I probably wouldn't have given it a try how to not read the reviews and I'm really glad I decided to try them out. Myla -I think that's how you spell her name cut my hair. As she was doing it I wasn't sure what the outcome would be but once she was done and she blow dried it to give it a bit of a style. It looks so beautiful. She cut about 3 inches to get most of my dead ends out. If I'm ever in the area & I need a haircut. I would absolutely come back again.

The cut she did made my hair look so much healthier; it became more manageable and a breeze to style - or not - on mornings when I'm in a rush, I'm able to air dry and go, which is so so helpful. To top it all off, she's a wonderful person. I highly, highly recommend Vanessa and Sage Salon & Spa!

Everyone is incredibly personable, professional and patient. Shannon has been doing my daughter's hair, and I am always so happy with how beautiful it turns out. You can tell she truly cares about their work and she takes pride in making sure her clients leave feeling good and loving their hair. One of the things I appreciate the most is how accommodating Shannon is willing to work with my unpredictable schedule. That kind of understanding and flexibility means more to me than they probably realize. It's rare to find a salon where you not only love the quality of the work, but also genuinely love the people and the way they treat you. Today, the owner went above and beyond for my daughter and I, he made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and taken care of here. I'm so grateful we found them and I would recommend this salon over and over again.

I was…read morenervous about trying a new stylist, but Michelle and her sweet assistant, Cali, made me feel so welcome. Michelle is a great communicator and a true educator. She took the time to truly listen to what I wanted, asked about my current routine, and discussed my hair concerns--what works and what doesn't. What really impressed me was how educational the experience was. While blow-drying my hair, Michelle explained what she was doing and why, giving me the confidence to recreate the look at home. I walked out with a fantastic cut, affirmation on the products I'm already using, and a recommendation for one new product that is going to be a game-changer for my naturally silver hair. Overall, a phenomenal first visit--I've already booked my next appointment!

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.

She talked to me but I was having a rough day and didn't feel like being a big talker and I didn't feel pushed into that. I didn't feel pressured into making conversation. Heather was able to read me well. The hair washing experience is pretty new to me ( i haven't had a cut in 2ish years) and it was so soothing. As she cut my hair she was explaining the steps being taken. Everyone else there also seemed super nice. They were laughing with each other and with their clients. I genuinely felt comfortable. My hair came out exactly how I asked. She just read me like a book. I got so many compliments from the other stylists and from my friends at work. I felt super confident with my cut. Thanks Heather !!
