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. If you're looking for talented stylists who are professional, kind, accommodating, with a great environment and truly care about their clients, this is the place!

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

STEPH JUDGEMENT: A small, welcoming, immaculately clean salon…read more I followed my stylist Stephanie here from Envy Beauty Studio when she closed that place down, and I'm so happy she landed in such a cool spot. I was early (as usual) and helped myself to their Nespresso machine with all kinds of coffee options as well as variety of creamers while I waited. It's a super-clean salon, including the bathrooms. There are only two stations in here so it feels very cozy and intimate. The area outside the salon is nice as well, next to the beautiful and historic Lafayette building. If you're looking for great stylists in the downtown area, Stephanie and Valerie are super-experienced and friendly!

She listens to your ideas and concerns and then brings your vision to life. She is by appointment only, so you can feel good about not having to share your time with another client. That was one thing that I didn't like about other stylists I went to. They would work on 2-3 clients at once, which is always a recipe for disaster, especially when you're getting your hair colored. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Valerie. She does amazing work and is a great conversationalist, which made the time fly by!

I cannot recommend Kat enough! I started seeing her years ago, and every appointment felt like…read morecatching up with a hilarious, talented friend who also happens to be a total hair genius. Her vibe is always upbeat, fun, and genuine. She made me feel instantly comfortable from day one. One of the things I appreciated the most was how honest she was. If I came in with an idea that wasn't right for my hair type or health, she talked me through it and help me find something fun and realistic. She truly cares about the health of your hair and takes time to explain what she's doing and why. This was important for me because I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to any of that stuff, but I always still want to have a nice hair. She even was able to do the hair for my sister's wedding! The only reason I'm no longer seeing her regularly is because I moved away. That being said, I have to admit that I traveled back to see her more than once before finally settling in with a new stylist closer to home. If that doesn't tell you how amazing she is, I don't know what it would! If you're looking for a talented, honest, and creative stylist, look no further.

She also brought my redhead dreams to life and now I don't know if I can go back to my natural color. Vanessa needs to stay in Long Beach because I don't think I can go to anyone else!
