I had my hair cut by Renee on Friday 6/12. It Is the best cut I have had in a long while. It was a very good experience. I am going to recommend her and her salon to all my friends. Thank you Renee! read more

Not the place to go for a men's haircut. The owner gave me the worst haircut of my life. I was looking for a shorter haircut than what I had but still suitable for business. Instead I have something between a Mohawk and a Pompador haircut. read more

Studio 480 the Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Renee and all the other stylists at Studio 480 do a great job for their clients. I've had my hair done there many times and always come away pleased. The nail tech does a great job too. They carry a variety of hair products as well. The new location has a great decor too. read more

Typically I don't get independent salon haircuts because: 1.) I'm a dude and my hair is not that complicated and 2.) Expense. Enter Studio 480 and my new stylist Ashley. The interior is a "Rustic Modern meets highlights of elegance and functionality," appeal. I had an appointment so I didn't wait however the waiting area seemed comfortable. Ashley was hospitable and quite capable of taking my wish-washy thoughts about what to do with my rats-nest full of hair and turn it into Adam Levine quality style. For a male, it's nice to have all the edges nice and clean, good fades (as my sides were requested - significantly shorter than the top), sideburns trimmed with the edges of beard cleaned up. Most important: she washed my hair AFTER the cut, so I could go back to work and not worry about being itchy and covered with tiny little hair particles. The styling was great and she gave me some tips on how to reconstruct the styling (fat chance I'll be able to do that....). I honestly feel like I got a great haircut, at a reasonable rate and will be sure to come back again. I might even make this a once a month affair. Thanks so much! read more

I just made a last minute decision to cut 12 inches off my hair. I don't have a regular salon so I jumped on yelp and looked for the first place with good reviews that could get me in the same afternoon. I ended up with Marlene who was awesome! I showed her a bunch of pictures that I liked, told her I'm not picky, and to do what she thinks would be best. She did an amazing job with very little direction. I'll be going back again soon! read more

Finding a new salon with people that know how to do blond without it being brassy, is tough! I came here on Saturday and I'll be back! Marlene did a BEAUTIFUL job correcting a bad color and cut. I left feeling like a new woman! Also, the salon was super clean especially for its size. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Alena does an outstanding job with my lashes. I go 3 weeks in between fills. She is very professional and friendly.

Great place to go for the guys. Rene cuts my hair every month and the wife says it looks great so I'm happy. Comfortable place for me to roll in after work and not feel out of place like some salons. By scheduling a month out I never have to wait when I come in and they give me a heads up call the day or 2 before to remind me. read more

I started going to Renee, the owner of Studio 480, based on my sister's recommendation. I have never been disappointed. First, the salon itself is clean, inviting and comfortable. I'm not a fan of foofoo salons, so this place is right up my ally. Renee is always on time, easy to talk to and eager to give suggestions if you are looking to change things up a bit! And, she offers a 20% discount to new clients. I'm always amazed at how she transforms my coarse, dry hair into something that looks and feels so great. read more

My husband and I have been going to Renee for over 10 years. She is AWESOME! Renee gives me ideas for new haircuts and styles, takes her time with the cut, and has reasonable prices. She listens to what I want whether it is a trim or a total new style make over. Renee and her staff are a cut above the rest read more

Great experience 1st timer will go back when in the are ! I'm visiting from California

Great service I had a last minute appointment for three people for a wedding in the afternoon. They accommodated us all and did a great job. Thank you! read more

My haircut didn't even come close to what I asked for. It was just shorter that what I already had and blown out a bit different. When I left, I just went to my car and brushed it out, because I didn't want to cry all the way home. Not worth the price at all! read more

I saw Penne for a blow dry and it was a disaster. I went in to see her before my appt to explain that my hair was curley and highlighted so it needed to be blowdried straight with my round boarbristle brush and without the use of a flatiron.She said she could easily achieve this.I went back for my blowdry appt 2 hours later with my hair freshly washed and my products(Moroccan oil) already in,I handed her my brush and I immediately noticed her taking large pieces and trying to blow dry them,I immediately told her that she was never going to get it straight without using 2 or 3 inch sections of hair.Half way through I noticed that she was using a ceramic brush and not the one I had given her because i saw sections of my hair snapping and falling to the ground also i could feel her pulling my hair very hard.I have NEVER seen a stylist do that before and I have my doubts that she even is.I had originally tried to make an appt with Yi me but she was already booked.If I could have gotten in with her, things probably would have been fine.Penne was a disaster,I was reluctant to yell or scream because she mentioned that she went to the same church as myself,but when i got home and saw what a horrible job she did and had to go to the mall to have it blowdryed again the same day then i regretted paying here the outrageous fee that a real stylist should get.Complete robbery! Stay away from Penne!!!! read more

Y-Mi is a miracle worker! She took my dry, split end, poorly bleached locks and turned them into a work of art. She was patient with me and help guide me with my decisions. She gave me a fantastic cut and I'm going back next week to have her fix the color. I HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you Y-Mi!!! read more

Great job! Great service! Renee is amazing & Yi-Mi did a beautiful job on my daughter. I have been going to Studio 480 since they opened. They are amazing. We both get compliments on our hair all the time & we owe it all to Studio 480! read more

Studio 480 the Salon - The beautiful work of Y-Mi - Hair Salons Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I met the owner, Renee as a customer at my place of employment. after learning that she owned a salon, I decided to make an appointment with her for a haircut in preparation for attending my son's wedding in May. Upon my arrival, I was very impressed with the clean, comfortable environment of the salon. Very relaxing. Renee shampooed my hair and set me up with a very nice haircut. Great to talk with and really knows her stuff! read more

I am so pleased with my haircut and highlights! Tara listened to my concerns and was able to create exactly what I wanted. I have extremely thin hair, so it is not easy task. My hair looked the best it has for 3 years!!!! The highlights are natural and really helped my mousy color. Best of all, when I washed and fixed my hair myself, it looked great! I think that is a sign of a good cut. I highly recommend Tara! She's a pro! read more

This a reply to Renee, owner of Studio 480, rebuttal to my negative comment regarding a very bad haircut that Irene gave me on 11/23. Please regard my review to get the whole story. Renee states that 3 people worked on my hair after her mother Irene cut it and could not rectify the chop job. (I did bring a picture of what I wanted.and Irene said she could do the style.) There was only one hairstylist who came to try and fix the problem. Casey tried but try as she did she couldn"t fix the damage. Another correction to Renee stating that she called me after she found out I was not happy is not correct. I CALLED HER and told her how unhappy I was with the cut . I did verbally say how this is not the what I asked for,and showed the picture of cut I wanted several times to Irene. In conclusion.Renee tried to fix the the problem. but I still walked out upset that I would have live with this haircut till it would grow out. Marianne read more

About 6 years ago I was sick of trying to find a good stylist in my area. I made an appointment right before vacation. I screwed up the days and when I arrived my stylist was not available. Casey was at the reception desk and she said she would do my hair. It was the best mistake I've ever made. Casey is amazing! Her color jobs are perfect and always cuts my hair perfect. My daughter was only 9 when we first went and now as she has grown from kid to pre teen to full blown teenager Casey has always cut her hair so cute. I would fully recommend Casey and this salon! read more

After a few years of not going to the same place twice, I am so glad to have found this salon! Renee gave me a great haircut and great advice on my hair and the salon prices are beyond reasonable. read more

Renee at studio 480 is a wonderful stylist that takes extra care with my hair and the overall health of my hair. The salon is perfect - pretty, tranquil, spa-like. I enjoy returning each time! Great salon and fabulous stylist. read more

This review is long over due. Over a month ago I desperately needed a haircut and my regular barber was out of town. I am not one to trust a new person to cut my hair, but two factors convinced me to try a change. One, a good friend who lives in the East Valley raved about Renee at Studio 480 and , two, I was looking to do something a little different than getting the same cut I have been requesting for almost twenty years! Not only did I enjoy the time spent chatting with Renee ( she is super cute and has a great personality:), but I received a great, way more modern, haircut. Renee absolutely understood what I was looking for and gave me my first real haircut that can be "styled". I ended up going back again two weeks later ( a 40 minute drive) because I wanted to make sure I got the same cut. It was well worth the drive and while I have been back to my normal barber, I would go back to Renee in a heartbeat! My barber now just copies the cut that she set up and while he does a good job, I am looking forward to him going out of town so I have an excuse to make the trek out to Mesa to get my haircut! East Valley guys, don't miss out on getting an awesome cut from an awesome stylist! read more

Came in for a hair cut today. I got a haircut with Julie. She is very nice and did a great job. She didn't talk to me much. maybe because shes a bit older and there isnt much conversation to do lol. Not exactly what i wanted with my haircut but it wasn't bad at all. This is a cute little place and very nice and chic inside. Wish they had some music or something on though. Very very quite, i was falling asleep lol. It is kind of in a somewhat deserted lot, but not too deserted! The girl at the front desk is very nice. She was kind of struggling maybe due to being new? All in all, this is a good place to go and get a haircut. They also have a mini nail corner if you want to get your nails done. The owner Renee is very nice, i can see why most people call in and request her. Shes more talkative :) Pricing is not bad at all. read more

Great customer service. I'm so glad we came here for my daughters haircut. Kim did an awesome job.

Had a great experience at Studio 480 today. I was a new customer, and set up my appointment with Renee. Everyone was friendly and warm the moment I stepped through the door. The atmosphere is classy and inviting. I wanted to get my hair cut short, according to a picture, from hair that fell to the middle of my back. When I confirmed that I planned to donate my excess length, Renee took the time to prepare and bag the hair for me. As she was cutting my hair, she consulted the picture, and communicated with me about aspects I might have wanted to keep or change. My new look is exactly what I wanted. Will definitely be back. read more

Tara was so nice and listened to what I wanted while giving me great suggestions to achieve my hair goals. Will be back soon!

I called in desperate need, after having had a bad haircut, made my appointment with Renee. She is AWESOME! Sweet, patient and very experienced with hair cuts. She turned my frown upside down. After 3 attempts, finally, somebody knows how to trim hair! My hair looks and feels soooo much better! I won't need a cut for awhile, but when I do, I will go back to Renee. THANK YOU RENEE, I wish you much success!! See you soon..... read more

Just scheduled my second appointment with Renee for a highlight and haircut. She did a great job the 1st time so I'm heading in again. The Salon is very clean and decor is chic and everyone I've met is friendly and helpful. I'd recommend anyone looking for good value for the price to try Studio 480! read more

This salon was great! I got a cut and color from Nikki today and love it. I showed her pictures of what I was looking for and she was very helpful and listened to all that I wanted. She offered great suggestions. Nikki was very friendly. I am very picky about my hair so this was such a pleasant experience. The salon was clean and very chic. I also love that they do waxing and nail services as well as hair. I am definitely coming back. read more

Excellent service in cool and beautifully relaxing surroundings. Renee has an especially kind team that works well for clients of all ages. Took my mother there so she could feel her best at her grandson's wedding and she was not disappointed. They also do great highlights and balayage...we will be regular clients, for certain! read more

I moved here 3 months ago and havent had a haircut since. Found Casey and the Salon on yelp and couldn't be happier. My hair was a mess to say the least but I brought a picture and she nailed it! And had it don't in a half an hour! I so lucky I found her. If you are looking for a stylist give her a call. read more

Called the salon this morning for a same-day appointment on Christmas Eve and they were able to get me in! Penne listened attentively to my needs, asked appropriate questions, and gave me a fabulous cut and color! I'll definitely be back :). read more

Melanie did a great job on my hair. She asked great questions about my hair habits and what I need and want. It was a real consultation on what is best for me and my hair health! read more

I was scared about cutting my very long hair; I have had bad hair cuts in the past. I cut off 6 inches by myself, walked around with it for a few weeks and realized I wanted, needed it short. Irene was awesome. I had her cut at least 7 inches off, so now I have barely shoulder length hair--she shaped it perfectly. No regrets and I will be coming back to her for trims. read more

I just moved to Mesa from California and was in need of a hair cut. I wear my hair short and it is thick and course - takes a special kind of person to know how to cut it right. Well on my first try out of the gate I found that person in at Studio 480 and Renee. The salon is clean, everyone is courteous and Renee was right on time. She cut my hair in 30 minutes and I couldn't be happier ! The cut is PERFECT !! I would recommend Studio 480 and Renee for your hair cut needs. read more

I had a great experience at this salon. The ambiance is trendy and classy. I had the pleasure of having Casey Cummings as my hair dresser. My request? Please take this head full of highlights and dye it back to my normal hair color...and she did!! Once I was finished, I felt like me again. She did a great job! I highly recommend this hair salon. read more

So happy to come across this salon, Ashley is so good at hair cuts that I brought my daughter in for a color and it turned out Great! My other daughter had Ashley do a Brazilian blow out , because she was tired of straightening her natural curly hair everyday. She is so Happy!! With the great job Ashley has done. read more

I am traveling through the area and found this salon on Yelp. Scheduled an appointment with Casey and couldn't be happier with the results. She is sweet as can be, very knowledgable, and delivered the best cut and color I've ever had. Thank you Casey for doing such a fantastic job! I wish I could fly you out to Hawaii to do my hair all of the time! read more

I go to Studio 480 and see Casey for my cut and color. She is awesome! The best colorist I've ever gone too. She listens to you and also helps guide you to a good color for your skin tone. I won't go anywhere else for my hair! If you can't get in with her, the owner Renee is also wonderful! She keeps the place spotless, and it's super cute inside. read more
