Hate to write this. But... small business owners depend on each other. When one doesn't pay and won't communicate it causes huge issues, like Salon 251 did to us. Running a small business means relying on partnerships built on trust. When companies sign advertising contracts, it allows us to deliver exposure, growth, and community connection. Unfortunately, we've experienced what many businesses face: unpaid invoices, reversed payments, and being ghosted after services have already been provided. This isn't just about money--it's about respect for time, effort, and the commitments we make to help others succeed. To our fellow small business owners: Always get contracts in writing Don't be afraid to hold partners accountable Value your work and your time We'll continue championing businesses that honor their word and support their community with integrity. #SmallBusiness #SupportLocal #BusinessIntegrity #Advertising #ScottsdaleBusiness read more

Studio 251 Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I brought a picture of exactly what I wanted done. Made it explicitly clear. He cut off more than 6 inches of my hair and did what he wanted to do. Totally horrified. Cut is uneven all over my head. Had to go to a different salon to have them try and fix it. I asked for barely a trim and some long layers. Beware. I think he must mainly do senior citizens hair. read more

What can I say...Luis is a genius with those scissors! And he is one of the most likable people I have ever met! This was my first time visiting his salon~I made an appointment based on all of his wonderful reviews~and it was just so very enjoyable! He was so welcoming and he listened to exactly what I wanted! He took the time to explain everything he was doing and made me feel as though I could be completely honest with him-no intimidation factor here! I walked out feeling beautiful, listened to and satisfied! I will most definitely be back! read more

I can't say enough nice things about this place and Luis. Sometimes you go to a salon and you worry they'll cut too much off and do their own thing after you've described how you'd like your hair done but that won't happen here. Luis really listens to exactly what you want done to your hair and he's really good at what he does. I'm from out of state and had a wedding to go to and was so happy with the results of my hair styling. If you are looking for a hair stylist I would really recommend coming here and seeing what Luis can do with your hair. read more

Luis does a great job! Friendly and responsive. Love my hair! Great location and Luis is easy to communicate with.

I've been coming to Luis for 2 years. Luis is hands down the best stylist I've ever had. I have a lot of hair, and Luis takes his time with my hair every single time. I've never feel rushed, and my hair always comes out looking amazing. I guess I should thank my boyfriend for leading me to Luis. Luis is his stylist, and when I was looking for a new stylist he BEGGED me to give Luis a try. I was scared to take advise from my boyfriend but two years later I'm still coming to Luis. So I guess bf knew what he was talking about. read more

I was visiting from CA and was desperate for a color and cut. Took a chance after reading Yelp reviews and I am so happy I did. Luis has a small, Scottsdale hair salon that gives individual attention. He is the long lost brother you've been searching for and is an experienced hair magician. read more

Studio 251 Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Simply put, Luis is a master at his craft. He worked wonders with my hair and was able to give my hair color depth and a beautiful shine. I really wasn't sure what I wanted. He took so much time with me to insure I knew all the pros and cons with the color I'd chosen. I went with his recommendations and I'm so glad I did. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair. You won't be disappointed with outcome! read more

Luis has been cutting my hair for a few months now and he does a marvelous job every time. I actually found out about Luis from my parents who are both in their 70s. They discovered Luis by doing research on Yelp after their hairdresser retired. My folks had both told me that Luis was incredibly talented and one of the nicest people they had ever met. So, after getting yet another disappointing haircut at my local Fantastic Sams, I decided to give Luis a try--and I am so glad I did. At my first visit I told Luis that I wanted his input on how my hair should be cut and styled. He took a great deal of time listening to me and together we came up with a plan. I loved the haircut Luis gave me and ever since I've been going back to see him every three weeks. Not only does Luis do extraordinary work but going to see him feels like going to visit a friend. I love the intimate setting of Luis's private studio; I strongly prefer that setting over a crowded salon with a bunch of stylists working on multiple customers at the same time. If you give Luis a try I'm confident that you'll be extremely glad that you did. I've met several of Luis's customers that he was working on before and after my appointments and it's obvious that they revere him just as much as my folks and I do. Based on my many conversations with Luis, he views his customers as a community that he truly cares about. Besides his evident talent as a cosmetologist, Luis is one of the most kindhearted and personable people you'll ever meet; give him a try! read more

Luis is amazing! I was referred to him through several friends. He is knowledgeable, kind, and always leaves me feeling sexy & looking great!!! He's super flexible with my schedule and always is there for me when I need a quick (free!) bang trim. I really could not go anywhere else in Scottsdale after finding him!! Can't say enough GREAT things about how much he has helped my poor hair.... I had it permed in Thailand and it was totally destroyed and he's helped me grow it out and keep my hair looking healthy even tho the damage is done. I appreciate all his advice and help with getting my locks looking good again. read more

Look no further - this was the BEST haircut of all time. Luis is a master of his craft, who truly loves what he does and cares deeply for his clients. Luis' ATTENTION TO DETAIL is UNMATCHED. I came in with long, thick, straight hair and left 10-lbs lighter, with a sleek shoulder-length bob, full of texture and volume! Going from long to short hair can be a gamble. I took comfort in knowing that Luis has vast experience with multiple styles. He's been a pro across many different trend cycles (ie. he's seen it all) and has an eye for classic styles. He created living art with my hair!! read more

Studio 251 Salon - Love my new cut and color. - Hair Salons Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Luis was fantastic!! I went there to get a cut and color, which usually takes a lot longer than the average person because my hair is so thick. Even though I went on a Friday evening, he was fabulous, made me feel special, and worked meticulously. I felt very comfortable and knew that he would take good care of my hair. My hair feels amazing - probably the best haircut I've gotten in years. He even walked me to my car to make sure I got home safe (you never know on a Friday night). I will be going back for sure and have already suggested him to all of my friends. Thanks, Luis!!! read more

I've been seeing Luis for over a year. When I came to him, my hair was fried, uneven and just overall ruined by someone I had been paying a lot of money to.

Always feel beautiful after leaving. Nicole provides excellent color. She will give you the color and highlights that compliment you most. I give her free reign when I'm in for a cute and color.

You're not paying for a posh shop, but you will be delivered the utmost care in your cut and color. read more

Highly recommend his services. read more

Studio 251 is as good as it gets! Luis has become a genuine friend, in addition to being a fantastic stylist! He is the best choice for hair care, for women and men.
