Bianca, at Studio 81, is amazing! I've now had three different appointments with her and have loved the way she transforms my hair every single time. Bianca is quick to respond and her studio is always nice and clean! Highly recommended for highlights, shine treatments and hair cuts! As an added bonus, she always has her cute pup in the studio loungin.

Bianca seriously did such an amazing job with my hair! I'm so happy with it and will recommend her to anyone who is looking for a hair stylist in the Bay Area. I had not found a new stylist since moving to SF and went way too long without getting my hair done! After doing some research, I found Bianca and booked an appointment. She was so responsive and worked around my schedule to fit me in. Her studio is also extremely cute and well decorated! I had asked for a haircut with longer layers and partial balayage/highlights. I let her know that I liked low maintenance hair and wanted to go a bit darker/more natural than my hair currently was at the time. She really took her time to figure out exactly what I wanted and to get my hair perfect. The color and cut was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't recommended Bianca enough! I'm so happy to have found someone I can trust 100% with my hair in SF.

Bianca is the sweetest person alive, true gem of a human. I reached out on a whim for a day of appointment and she was beyond accommodating. Just moving to the area in March, I did find another salon/hair stylist. For whatever reason I went to that salon/stylist twice and both times I felt uncomfortable. I knew I couldn't go back and I spent some time researching for a more independent stylist. Thankfully, I landed on Bianca. It's always nerve wracking seeing someone new for the first time. I was greeted by the cutest pup upon walking in and Bianca immediately took the time to make me feel welcome, heard with hair concerns and most important comfortable. I felt she truly wanted to help me, wanted me to be happy with the results and feel good about not just my hair but the experience with her. I already have a plan to keep my hair healthy with Bianca's help and next appointments lined up! Bianca - thank you for being so gentle to my emotions about my hair. More importantly taking the time to be thoughtful and doing a fantastic job. Looking forward to coming back.

Love what Bianca did with my hair--she assessed my hair texture, face shape, lifestyle, and preferred hair care regiment in giving me a cut that is growing out nicely and sooo easy to style. Cut, styling two ways, olaplex, and chemical color treatment was priced reasonably, and she kindly shared helpful tips that most hair professionals don't openly share. It's always hard to spend a lot on hair when you're not sure if you'll like the result, but I feel confident going back to Bianca and knowing I can trust her to thinking about what I went, help me figure out what I might want before I know it, above all, making me look amazing! Plus she's so kind! So glad I stumbled upon your sign outside. You did an amazing job in renovating, furnishing, and decorating too! Thanks for making me look 100 right before a long trip and making my hair care routine infinitely easier!

Long layers layering perfectly!

I am extremely picky about who works on my hair. After my hairstylist moved to Palm Springs 6 years ago, I've been bouncing around trying to find someone who could tackle my difficult head of hair! I am so happy that I found Bianca! She is gifted and knows how to cut and style long layers! As soon as I sat in her chair, I knew I could trust her! I've had stylist work on my hair for 5-6 hours before and walk out with a mess, but Bianca washed, cut layers and styled my hair in a record 2 hours! I am in love! I can't wait to go back for a color and Keratin treatment soon!

Bianca has transformed my hair

I have been going to Bianca since Studio 81 opened, she has completely transformed my hair. I love that she genuinely cares about the work she does and continues to learn new methods and try different product only to make your experience that much better!

Bianca is the best!!!! She never fails me and has such attention to detail. She always listens to me and really takes her time - I never feel like she's rushing me out of the salon. Parking at her place is also really easy which is a huge plus. I couldn't recommend her enough for color, shine treatments, and haircuts. Not to mention she's the sweetest human!

I had been looking for a new hair stylist that specializes in thicker hair for quite some time! I stumbled upon Studio81 and Bianca's work from a influencer on social media and decided to give her a try. She exceeded my expectations in so many ways! Her salon is so clean and welcoming, I ended up doing a gloss and hair cut with her. She is very meticulous when styling hair and also gave me recommendations on products to use to maintain my healthy vibrant hair. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone, I will definitely continue to go to her now after my first experience!

This was my first time going in and I wanted a little update to my hair before my summer vacation. Bianca suggested I do a shine treatment to condition my hair and also calm down some of the orange tones. I love how it came out!

Love my highlights!!! Bianca is a master at her craft and so sweet. The salon has lots of natural light and fresh air from the open patio doors. I haven't had any color done to my hair in 18 years and she helped guide me and answered all my questions. I wanted highlights that would help hide/distract from my gray hair. She gives an awesome head massage during the shampoo also!

Bianca did an amazing job with my hair, I am absolutely obsessed!! She did beautiful root foliage on me and got the coloring and layering I wanted perfectly -- brightening up my old balayage I liked and blending it out to get that honey-brunette tone. The products she uses are top-notch and did not irritate my sensitive scalp at all. I also love that she owns her salon -- something I was really looking for in a new stylist as I was tired of going to the bigger beauty salons where the stylists would often move, leaving me having to try someone new every time. So glad I found my go-to person that I trust completely with my hair! She is also the sweetest person ever :) Can't wait to be back!

Layered cut :)

Always friendly, always a great cut! I find their prices to be the most affordable in the…read moreneighborhood and it's easy to book online so I keep coming back.

I came here a handful of time and tried a couple of girls over a span of a couple of years. They…read morewere both very sweet and gave good service. My reasoning for giving 2 stars is because of what happened on 2 separate occasions. I came in to get my roots redone and I always discuss pricing before we start to avoid what eventually happened. When I was rang up, I was charged an extra $30 without being consulted. The girls who did my hair both seemed uncomfortable to tell me I was being over charged what I was quoted and apologized. I was obviously annoyed and said that price was never discussed or consulted with me before. They gave some reason about needing more hair dye? I thought it was bullshit and it seemed like someone else, maybe the owner, was adding it on without their knowledge and had to deal with the issue of telling a customer on the spot. The whole situation felt off. It's not about the money, I can afford an extra $30. It's about the principle of transparency and professionalism which I think wasn't shown on these 2 occasions. Unfortunately I won't be coming back to this salon which is disappointing because I really liked both girls who did my hair but my experience in the last couple of years tells me this place adds on extra charges, without your knowledge and I can't trust a salon that doesn't lead with transparency or professionalism.
