Got the exact color I wanted! Super friendly and professional you can tell he really knows what he's doing. Just make sure to call ahead because he books up quickly, especially for longer sessions. One thing to note: a few areas lifted slightly orange, likely because the bleach didn't take evenly in those spots. He explained that we had already done two bleaching cycles and doing more would risk damage, so we decided not to push it. He also offered for me to come back so he can fix those areas, which I appreciated. If you've never gone from dark to light before, just know it takes time and patience. Good vibes there. I'm going to try purple shampoo in the meantime, but overall I'm happy with the result and would return. read more

The inspiration versus what I got. I asked Thao where are my highlights? And he replied an apology that he FORGOT to keep my base color dark. He passed me off to get my haircut to someone else. When she asked me how much I want cut off I did my fingers at the bottom of my hair about 2.5 to 3 in. She ended up cutting off SEVEN inches of my hair. read more

Vivian and Thao are nice, but do not know how to give a haircut. I asked for 3 inch cut, long layers and no thinning. Vivian thinned it so much. Thao said he will "fix it" and then told me my hair will look bad unless I style it everyday. Save yourself the tears and money Edited: I forgot to say they do not use any heat protectant products and the brushes they used are not clean. Vivian was blow drying my hair on the hottest setting, no product and made my scalp sore. Thao was pulling the hair out of a comb from someone previous read more

Thao (the owner) is an absolute professional. I've been coming to him for three years after taking so long to find someone I trust. He has been doing hair forever, and has seen it all. He truly listens, and his expertise can make any vision come true. Honestly, he should be charging more. I have naturally dirty blonde hair and it's been untouched my entire life-- until Thao. After a few years of seeing him for trims, I trusted him to lighten my natural color and omg. He did AMAZING. Not only did he make me feel comfortable in the consult, but he put in extra care and even had me out in 3.5 hours. Come here. you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been coming to Theo for about 4 years, and I absolutely love it every time! He always does an amazing job, listens to exactly what I want, and makes me feel welcome and comfortable. I trust him completely with my hair, and I always leave looking and feeling my best. Highly recommend! read more

Thao did a wonderful job on my haircut. I will definitely come back and recommend others.

Just moved to the area and wanted someone who knows how to work with curly hair. Isabel was amazing. She walked me through how to properly diffuse my hair, tailored products for my hair type, and made the experience awesome! She has 20+ yrs of experience and needless to say, I'll be going to her again. read more

Carly did my hair here and I absolutely love it! She is awesome and always makes my hair so pretty and exactly the colors I want! Salon is cute, easy parking, I highly recommend read more

The best way to find a lifelong hair stylist & friend? Visit their Instagram page (but, word of mouth helps too). I found Mary after seeing how beautiful and perfect my friend's hair turned out (she's actually on here as well, Cindy L)! Mary is the hairstylist you've been looking for your entire life. She listens and cares about your hair and will dedicate her entire day to you! She even goes the extra mile by being your Insta photographer to get you your best pics, heyyyy! Mary is the best kept secret in Pearland. I spent about 7-8 hours with her in one day, and she gave me everything I wanted and more! I've had SOOO many issues with hairstylists, where I love my look the first day, but on the second, the color becomes brassy or reverts back to my dark brown hair! First of all, I have thick, coarse hair that NEEDS a hairstylist who can dedicate time to me and listens to my needs. Mary is THAT girl. I never understood when Asian hairstylists say, "they [insert former hairstylists here] don't understand Asian hair". But, it's 100000% TRUE. All Asians have different hairs, some are fine, some are thick. But either way, it's not the same as the majority of America. Sadly, Mary no longer works at Studio 8 anymore, but you can find her on Insta to see where she's at now! read more

One star for the salon, if you want a owner that's going to yell at his employees in front of an entire shop. An embarrassing display of a salon owner and trash at his own job. Reporting him asap, no one should own a shop and have employees if they behave like Thao. He literally made my stomach turn with the way he talks to his employees. Following my hairstylist and never walking into his shop again. Complete trash as an owner, Goodluck to his future employees. He needed to be reported a LONG time ago. Update- To make matters worse, the owner Thao just called me and started cussing at me over my review. He also left me a voice message that I will be sure to blast on social media. Again, unprofessional is an understatement. Mind you this is after he has yelled at his employee, disgusting. read more

From online reviews I took a chance on Studio 8. Best decision! Vivian took my hair from a pool-abused, out-of-shape mess to a classic and sophisticated bob with long layers. Vivian didn't just give me a haircut, she cut my hair. It took her an hour and 15 minutes. Her attention to detail is outstanding. Days later I was asked where I had my hair done. I was happy to reply Studio 8. read more

I schedule appointments for my daughter and myself to get haircuts. I already get my lashes done here by Julie, she's amazing and does the BEST job! This was my first time getting my haircut here, as well as my daughter. Thao cut my hair and Jennifer cut my daughters. My haircut is amazing and it feels soooo good! I love what Thao did. My daughter absolutely loves her hair. I will say, she did NOT get the haircut I asked for. Maybe Jennifer is a bit new?? Idk, she's an awesome girl though for sure and She gave a good cut and my daughter is happy, so that's all that matters! I'm SO happy to have found this place, since we are new to the state. I will definitely only be getting my hair done by Thao from here on out!! Thank you for such a great haircut and experience!! read more

I wanted to dye my hair back to my natural black after a very disappointing balayage experience at another hair studio, and decided to come to Studio 8, close to home. They were able to fit me in the same day, and even accommodated me when I asked to come in earlier. Long story short, I had the best hair salon experience ever with Sarah. She was incredibly personable, sweet, and punctual. The entire process took 2 hours, and I felt she truly cared about my requests. Although the entire process seems very elementary (single all-over color), this was important to me. She answered all my questions & understood that I wanted to go as close to my root color as possible. We did two rounds of dye, timed at 20 mins each, and she was so punctual, I didn't even have to flag her down as I had to do in other hair salons when the sessions were up. This is such a minor detail, but I felt really valued because I saw how my own time was valued. I love how there was a 1 stylist to 1 customer ratio. After my color was complete, Sarah blew dry & took her time styling my hair. She even asked if I wanted to curl it, which I declined, as I wouldn't be going anywhere afterward anyway, but the thought of it truly counts. Overall, I really enjoyed my time with my stylist! I had such a negative experience elsewhere that this was a breath of fresh air. The entire studio is smaller than I anticipated, but so open, airy, and most importantly, clean. Would recommend Sarah 11/10, and would definitely come back again. read more

Yelp failed me this time. The girl I used for over 17 years traded in her scissors to focus on her children growing up. So, I began my search to find someone closer in proximity to me that I could trust with my hair. I don't have special needs hair. I don't color it anymore however, it is extremely fine...like, brand new baby fine. So, for the past few years, I just let it grow until I could find someone else. I turned to Yelp and looked thru reviews. I took my chances on the great reviews & made my appointment. It's obvious that the 20+ year stylist had no clue about hair texture. There are some things you can do to thick hair but cannot do to fine hair. The picture of what I presented vs. what I got was nothing close. I fully understand that stylists are not magicians, but I had enough hair to come close to what I asked for which could have been easily achieved with a trim & frame around the face down, not by cutting almost 5 inches off and "tapering" my super fine hair that left a butchered mess, then trying to curl it...when my picture obviously showed NO curl and saying my hair doesn't hold curl. I won't get my hair back, but at least I know I won't go here again. read more

Thao did such a good job on my hair and was so fun and nice. I had a hairstylist cancel on me last minute and Thao offered to do my hair only 2 days after I reached out to him. My hair is super thin and fine and he did such a good job at keeping it healthy and still giving me a beautiful blonde look. read more

First , I want to start off with the service. When I walked in , a welcoming young lady immediately walked up to me asking me what I was there for. When I told her I had an appointment she asked me to sign a disclaimer and offered a beverage. The space looks newly renovated and nicely designed. New and stylish chairs and couches. I came in for a color with Mary. She came highly recommended by my sister and her Instagram photos looked very promising. She consulted with me first , asked me what I was interested in , and set out a hair plan before we started. She was clear with the process and told me how long each Step took. She tested out my hair first to see how quick and effective my hair would bleach. One thing I noticed here is that they don't put you under a heat lamp when bleaching because that can damage my hair. The fact that this place had no beating lamps gave me the impression that they know how to treat and care for hair. Of course without a heat lamp, the process takes longer but definitely worth it if it means not "frying your hair". I'm in the restaurant business and service is key to success. My beautiful transformation took over 5 hours and Mary ordered pizza for me to eat for lunch. Now that's 5 star service right there. Overall , service is top notch , and Mary is a hair wizard. She may seem very nervous but once she does her thing, she's incredible. Highly recommend in the Pearland area. read more

I've always been a blonde and recently I dyed my hair darker. I wanted to transition back to blonde, but wanted that icy platinum! I noticed Tammy is really good at that; so I scheduled an appointment with Tammy after literally stalking her hair IG: hairbytammmy for months. She asked me if I had any hair inspiration photos, gave me a quote, and locked my appointment in. When I first got there, she was very welcoming, she greeted me with open arms and a hug! She asked me again what I wanted to achieve, told me the process, and got started! I noticed she takes her time, she used Olaplex, and she also used the Olaplex mask to help restore my hair. She told me I will need two process since I've dyed my hair darker. She was very knowledgeable and professional. She educates you about your hair through the process and gives you advice on how to maintain your color. I had little to no breakage and my scalp did not burn. It's been about a week and my scalp is healthy as can be! I've had other salons literally burn my scalp to where it starts scabbing! I couldn't be happier with my end results, and I'm looking forward to my next appointment to get even lighter! read more

They damaged my girlfriend's hair. She had a lot of hair breakage. The woman who used hot tools on her hair used it at the highest setting and not an adequate amount of heat protectant. She was at the salon for almost 6 hours because she was not being attended to 100%. They also did not color her hair in the way she requested initially. read more

This salon is not a very honest establishment. If you get told to come back a second session, "free of charge" please be cautious. I was very satisfied with my hair the first session but was asked to come back "free of charge" with no explanation why. When I asked them if they broke my hair, their response was it was my baby hairs. I left my trust with these professional only for my hair to be broken and damaged. The situation could have been avoided if there was an honest communication. If it was explained why they asked me to come back the second time and communicated what they would be doing the "free of charge" 2nd salon visit, I would have had a choice to let them proceed or refuse the service. They were dishonest about their products they carry. I was going to purchase 2 sets of Kevin Murphy purple shampoo and Eleven repairing conditioner, however they only had one set of each brand available for purchase. They wanted a dishonest sale by telling me that another brand was equivalent, just to get a purchase. They will push for you to purchase the brand Eleven only because they are the only salon around that area that distributes Eleven. Be cautious and ask questions. read more

Do not go here if you have fine, straight hair. I went in two weeks ago with a bob which was uneven. While Thao was very attentive to detail, he just didn't get it right. He cut my hair wet, then blow dried it. If he had stopped then, it would have been perfect. But he said the longer side was still longer and kept chipping away at it. Guess what, now it's considerably shorter than the other side, and it creates a hole in the line of the haircut. All I can do is wear my hair back until it grows, not good! Giving him the benefit of the doubt, no one is perfect, I took my son in a few days later. He didn't even recognize me. I showed him a picture of my son's hair how he likes it, and Thao failed to deliver again. My son's hair is entirely too texturized, and it was very uneven as well. I had to cut one sideburn just so he didn't look lopsided. And don't get me started on the nape. My son wears a longer type of haircut, and likes the back a bit long too. WITHOUT ASKING, he buzzed the back very short. My son hates it! Thao may do a fine job if your hair is thicker, or has more texture, which in my opinion is more forgiving. We have fine, board straight hair which shows EVERY mistake. If that is your hair type, I recommend you stay away! read more

I can't stress enough what a wonderful experience I've had at Studio 8. My hairstylist Stefania is amazing! I went into my first appointment with Stef with an open mind and she did not shy away from advising me on what was best for my hair. If you want someone to be honest about what can be done with your hair please make an appointment with Stef. She has kept my hair so healthy and has managed to make my colored hair dreams come true!~ I had a full bleach out my first time there and I have been retouching my roots for 4 months now. I've had no breakage and my hair is still in amazing conditions. Stef always makes me feel extremely comfortable and is always in time/ready to work. I think it's safe to say I will never be going elsewhere for hair services. Love my hair so much!! read more

I went in for a color correction after my hair came out orange at another salon. Thao successfully gave me the color I was originally seeking. The balayage came out very pretty and well blended. This was my 1st time here. He listened to what I wanted and took his time as it was a lengthy process due to my hair being long, thick, and kinky curly. Very satisfied customer! Nice shop with friendly staff. read more

Do you enjoy receiving compliments? Do you want your hair to look amazing? Then make an appointment with Garret at Studio 8. He corrected my color and freshened my hair to look super fabulous.

However, I will be recommending him my family in Friendswood and Pearland to him in the future. read more

BEWARE!!!!! I was astonished and shocked when told that my hair color and cut would be $275!!!! The most I have ever paid for this type of service is $190. I was not informed of this exorbitant cost prior to the appointment. I had blond hair - that was turning gray so I had it dyed grey and cut. My hair was not long - just barely to shoulder. I called and asked to speak to the owner the next day and left a message and he did not return my call. Not good business practices. read more

Not it sis. Need another place to get bleach blonde. Not the dimension I was looking for.

Tammy was great and achieved everything I wanted! She was super friendly and listened to what I was looking for in a haircut & color. My hair is super thick so it took a long time to work with but she was very patient. My cut and color is great though I do wish I had asked for the two sections she dyed blonde to frame my face to start a bit lower on my hair so it looked a little more natural, but it will grow out and blend soon enough. Overall, it looks really great and a ton of people have complimented me on it!! The first pic is what it looked like right out of the salon in natural light and the other is with indoor light. As you can see in the before pic my hair used to have highlights that grew out so we chopped all of that off and started fresh. Since I'm a natural blonde my hair lightened pretty easily. It looked pretty dull and lifeless before Tammy gave it dimension and a brighter look! Def recommend! read more

This is a delayed review from back around Winter time. I was new to the houston/pearland area and looked all around for a nice reliable salon. This place was new and well reviewed. I do not dye my hair or have any treatments, just haircuts. So, I just wanted a place that would give me good regular haircuts. I had a great experience the first time with a great stylist (I can't recall her name). So, when it was time to get my regular trim I rescheduled online specifically with her. The day before my reminder text stated my appointment was with someone else even though my verification email had verified I scheduled with my prior stylist, I was working and the reminder was sent later at night prior to the appointment. It was too late to call in and so I responded to the message via text making sure I would get the same stylist. No response and no one had called me to notify me they had to change my stylist. So I did not want to not show up because they have a policy where they take a certain amount from your card if you do not show. I assumed they would not change my specific stylist I made the appointment for without calling to ensure it was okay with me... I showed up and I was put with another stylist. I stated I had scheduled with someone else because I liked my previous experience, the owner said she was out for finals for school and that he could take care of me. I was frustrated because if they had called and just asked if I can reschedule for when she was there I would have totally done that, but the fact that they didn't just goes to show how inconsiderate the customer service approach was there. Even though the owner had said he'd take care of me, the woman who started my shampooing ended up finishing the haircut and did not do 1/4 of the quality job my prior stylist had done (the one I requested). She was rushing and not really paying attention... I ended up leaving so frustrated and left with uneven bangs and then finally called later that night to ask to return to have them fixed (I have never had to do this any other place I have been). This place is 30 minutes from me and I drove an additional hour total to get something fixed that should have been done correctly in the first place and even after (because of how it was done by the new stylist) even when the owner tried to fix it I noticed my hair was not like I like it because it was difficult to fix after the fact. Honestly for the amount of money I spent on a simple haircut I was shocked at the lack of consideration for its customers. Especially for hair, most people are particular about who they trust and want to return to the same person. If there is a reschedule, be considerate enough to notify the client so they don't waste their time driving there, end up with another stylist, walk out unsatisfied, and have to return all because of your lack of consideration for their time and preferences. I did not return after that because they lost my trust after that service. I am writing this review to hopefully prevent someone from having the same issue and hopefully allow the salon to improve its approach with clients when there is a schedule change. This entire experience could have been avoided if their approach to the schedule change was different. read more

I went to Studio 8 a few days ago and had Leidi cut my hair. She is an amazing hair stylist! She understands about different hair types and listens to what you desire your hair look to be. I usually bring a hair style picture as reference too. This time I want a mod light shag with curtain bangs, and Leidi delivers. Love my new hair! The salon layout is open floor concept, spacious and clean. Each hair station comes with a comfy seat and a big mirror, that goes all the way to the floor. Their hair products feel nice on my hair and smell good. One thing I notice, lighting inside the salon is great. I enjoy the experience in Studio 8 and highly recommend Leidi, she's super talented! read more

I'm so glad I picked Studio 8 to get my hair done! The atmosphere here is really comfortable and relaxing and all of the people working there were very sweet and really want you to feel welcome. Mary did a really pretty ash toned balayage on me and really took her time in making my hair perfect all in only one day (I had black Asian hair)! She also made sure I knew how to maintain lighter hair after it was dyed. Mary was also super gentle and caring with my hair and even gave me a trim to make sure the ends of my hair weren't blunt. Overall, if you're ever thinking about getting your hair cut or colored, Studio 8 is definitely the place to go!! read more
