Recommend Caitlyn W for hair cut & color. Find her on insta at studiobesalon_caitlynw if you want to see pics of her work. Been going to her for a few months now and my hair always turns out beautiful & glossy! Only thing that could improve is if they open up a Studio Be in Longmont. And good news I hear they are maybe opening one in the new South Main Station area. Crossing my fingers!! Multiple people in Longmont have asked me where I get my hair done but when I say it's in Boulder they lose interest. I think they'll get a lot of business if they open one here. If you want to book an appt I recommend giving them a call. You can book an appt on their website but it is difficult to navigate. The staff that answer the phone are friendly and always seem to be able to find better appt times than I can find online. read more

This place is magical! I recently moved to Colorado and needed a home salon and especially needed help during this pandemic and boy am I glad I trusted these reviews because I found the best colorist! Nikee is a goddess! Ginger hair is hard to achieve and she blew me away! She listened to everything I asked for and let me know her process and it came out beautiful! The whole team is filled with such sweet stylists and the salon itself is so peaceful. Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back for my next appointment already!!!! read more

I've been seeing Brenna for almost a year now, and each time I've walked out feeling confident and beautiful. As a blonde it's hard to find a good colorist, let alone stylist, and Brenna ended my year search around the Boulder/Denver area! She also prepared my hair to be in great shape and color for my wedding. If you're a blonde that needs a good colorist and stylist, Brenna is your answer!!!! The Salon is awesome as well. The private hair wash room with spa music is amazing and so relaxing. The 10 minute add on massage is the best!! read more

One star says it all. Save yourself the time and money and find another salon. There's plenty around that do it right. This place couldn't get one thing right as far as color or pricing. read more

My experience at Studio Be Salon was very pleasant. The whole process from start to finish was very easy. Taylin did an amazing job cutting my hair, and she was super friendly and professional. read more

So yesterday after I had put on a hair mask for three hours, I dried and styled my hair to find it dry, damaged, and completely hideous. Before I broke down into a 2007 Britney Spears moment and shaved it all off, I took a deep breath and made an appointment with Studio Be for a rare open Saturday slot the next day. I used to go to the Fort Collins North Studio Be from 2014-2015 and I absolutely loved how my hair looked when I was getting regular haircuts there. Living in Denver now, I can't go up there as often so I was thrilled to see the Boulder studio have openings! I booked with Linnea D for a cut. The studio is very small but very nice and followed the professional and chic Be branding. The front desk person was very nice and accommodating and did not judge me for eating many chocolates. I showed Linnea Pinterest photos of what I what looking for (inverted long bob) and she was very honest with me and told me that the thickness and texture of my hair would require me to constantly style that kind of cut lest it look like a puffy triangle. I instead deferred to her judgement where she cut a few inches off my hair and lightly layered it. She also suggested the Top Coat, a $30 temporary color to turn my dull, matte dyed blonde ombre into a rich brown. It worked wonders, my hair is incredibly shiny, dimensional, and the way she cut it made it look incredibly healthy and gloriously yet effortlessly styled. Linnea is a lovely and amazing stylist who took a lot of time to explain to me the differences between what I thought I wanted and how my hair would react to a cut. She explained everything she was doing, had a soft touch with my hair, and checked in with me several times to make sure she was fulfilling what I wanted. She is such a sweet and kind person as well and I really enjoyed telling her about my life and learning about hers. (Both of our moms are hair stylists!!) I honestly can't recommend her enough and I'm so shocked that she hasn't been doing this for 10 years already with the skill she has. I already have my next appointment booked and I can't wait to become her regular! Thanks so much for making me love my hair again! read more

My experience with Studio Be was unpleasant. The first time I went in, the girl who "highlighted" my hair completely screwed it up. The highlights she gave me were super chunky and it was the color of Kraft mac & cheese. I called to get it fixed, and they gave me another appointment with the same girl. Not only was this second appointment awkward, but she messed up my hair again. This time, she proceeded to make my entire head super blonde and not the color I wanted. Both appointments took 3 hours+ and I've had so much hair loss due to it. Do not go here!!!!! read more

I moved to Boulder a couple years ago and was looking for a place to get a good men's cut. I didn't want to go to a big haircut chain business as they are typically more fast than good, and most of the high-end barbershops were out of the price range I was looking for. Enter Studio Be Salon. If you're a person who cares about quality when you get your hair taken care of then this is the place for you. Everyone who works here is friendly and takes pride in their work including the person at the front desk (shout-out to Linnea who is now a stylist. Glad you'll still be around!) Kelsey is my stylist and she always takes great care of me. She works with me if I want to try something a little bit different and Kelsey makes me look great! I've since moved from Boulder but I still go a little out of my way to go to Studio Be in Boulder because my day is always better after a visit. You all have a color bar. When are you getting a regular bar? I could use a beer or some bourbon when I get my cuts ;P read more

I've never been as happy with any salon as I have with Studio Be! On my first visit, I was lucky to get in with Gianna who is an absolute hair mastermind - both with color and cut. You can literally feel the passion she has for creating the best freaking hair, and she was SO enthusiastic about the vision that I had. I wanted to transition my super blonde hair to have a darker more dimensional feel. I literally walked out looking like the picture that I had showed her. Fast forward 2 months, I just accepted an offer for a great new job and felt like I needed to get in for a fresh color, NOW. (ladies, you know what I mean). I had another appointment set with Gianna, but not for another 3 weeks due to my poor planning and her packed schedule. Studio Be has a very collaborative stylist environment, so I decided to give another stylist a try. I ended up with an appointment with Katherine and I'm super pleased with the way my hair came out. I really wanted a pop of blonde in the front and she took extra care to make sure that I had it and that I loved my hair. Definitely 5/5! read more

On the upside, the staff was friendly, the vibe unpretentious, and Katherine gave me a really great cut. Was happy with the products and styling, and pleased with how quickly I could get in for a big hair makeover. On the downside, I asked for a full balayage and received some partial highlights. I asked for blonde and walked out just as brunette as I came in. She seemed inexperienced with color and unconfident that she could lighten my hair effectively. I would have gone back to complain, however the music here is really awful, the branding tacky, and the salon cold, so no thank you. I went to Voodoo two days later and an experienced stylist effortlessly gave me the very reasonable color I requested. read more

Ashley was awesome! She really listened to what I wanted and gave me options of which direction I could go in with what I wanted to achieve. Her work was great and I can honestly say I have not felt happier about how my hair turned out in the last 3 years than I feel about it after seeing Ashley. She was professional and personable in every way. Highly recommend booking with her! read more

I could not be happier with my studio be salon experience. I found the salon by looking at reviews on google and yelp. I will admit I am intimidated by hair salons just because I haven't had the best experiences in the past. I made an appointment with Kelsey for a dye and cut and I was very excited. I walked in and was offered water immediately which was super awesome. Kelsey was such a sweet person, she explained everything thoroughly to me and actually was interested in our conversation. I've had hairstylists not really want to talk to me which can make the experience uncomfortable. But Kelsey was the total opposite. We ended up having a really great conversation. She was an absolute pleasure to be around and my hair came out incredible, better than I could have ever imagined! I'm so happy to have found this salon and Kelsey. Thank you so much!!! read more

I came to the Boulder location for the first time in September. The haircut was good, though my stylist did not check in with me throughout the appointment about the specifics of my experience (e.g. length of layers, how it should be styled, if I wanted a blow out, etc.) and I was a little disappointed at the level of service in this way, but I thought the haircut was fine so I didn't feel there was anything for me to say. At the end of the appointment the receptionist asked if I wanted to schedule a "maintenance appointment" in 12 weeks. Hearing maintenance appointment made me think this would essentially be a check-up, so I made sure to ask if this appointment would cost extra. The receptionist assured me that no, the cost of this maintenance appointment was included with my first haircut and that there would be no charge for it. She said people normally schedule their maintenance appointments for 10-12 weeks out. I came in today and had a similar experience with the stylist as the first appointment. After, the receptionist gave me the total cost for what would be a full haircut appointment. I told her the previous receptionist told me this would be a maintenance appointment and that she told me it would be free. Of course, I still paid for the service and gave a nice tip to the stylist. I was, however, extremely disappointed that the receptionist this time was not very understanding or apologetic about the false information I had been given by the receptionist at my previous appointment. I felt like I had been tricked into buying another haircut when I had been told it would be free, come to find out that was not the case at all. I was very disappointed with this major miscommunication and do not have a strong desire to return to Studio Be. read more

I have just moved to the Front Range and was looking for someone to color my hair and to help me manage my thick and curly hair. It's always a risk to try someone new, especially when you have curly hair. Imagine my surprise when I wound up in Haley's chair at Studio Be Salon and she not only was a master colorist, but also a wonderful person who was able to look at my hair and give me honest opinions about the ways we can go forward with my style goals. She is a true professional and clearly knows her stuff. Thank you, Haley, for being just plain awesome. read more

This place is amazing! They were so kind and even offered beverages while you get your hair done. Emi did my hair and I LOVE the way it came out! I would recommend her to anyone! She talked me through what she was going to do before doing it and we made sure we were on the same page with what the color would be. When it came time to rinse the color out and tone it, they bring you into a wash room with spa music playing and the lights are low. It is so relaxing and soothing. The scalp massage was so incredible as well. I have never had a hair appointment experience like that and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Studio Be Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I'm graduating college in a few weeks and decided I wanted a subtle change that would give my dark hair some dimension and volume. My friend recommended to schedule with Jacob based on her incredible experience with him, and I am beyond pleased with my experience and will 100% be coming back and recommending all my friends to him as well. This was my first time dying my hair ever and I was a bit nervous going in because I wasn't entirely sure how to describe what I wanted. However, Jacob make this process so easy because he not only listened to my ideas (I wanted a mushroom toned balayage with a money piece) but he also walked me through what he thought would look good with my hair and realistically the color we would be able to achieve during our allotted scheduled time (for reference I have extremely dark, basically black hair). During the entire process, he answered all my questions and was really trying to get to know me and my interests. Something super cool that I also noticed is how Studio Be really emphasized learning and helping one another. During my dye and cut, Jacob was teaching Dolly (soon to be stylist) on how to tease my hair to get the most dimension during the bleaching stage, how to decide which toners to mix to get my desired color, and how to curl my hair so it shapes my face best. Overall, my hair looks absolutely amazing and I've gotten so many compliments! Jacob hit the target with my goal cut and color and I'm so glad I trusted him with getting me there! I have to get a toner treatment in a few weeks to maintain the mushroom tone and I'm excited to come back. read more

Where do I even begin?! These girls are hair geniuses!! Kelsey F has truly transformed my hair, and I LOVE it! Brenna is a rockstar as well! Alyssa and Mackenzie provided excellent customer service at the front desk. I just can't say enough about Studio Be and their incredible staff & skills. Thanks Studio Be!! read more

I have been going to Caitlyn Whalen for my hair for awhile and she does an amazing job on my color every time! I left today feeling so confident about my hair color! Caitlyn is not only extremely talented at hair but also such a kind hearted person who truly cares about her clients and their lives! If you're ever looking for a good stylist Caitlyn is your girl! Could not recommend her enough! She will have you leaving the salon feeling like a new person every time! read more

I was super nervous to go to a new salon but this place had great reviews so I decided to try it out... Haley H did a full highlight and got the color right the first time! I absolutely love it! Great price, great atmosphere, great stylist all aroumd read more

It's ok. I went here for the free service (ad on Facebook) and opted for a blowout since I didn't need a haircut and color my hair on my own at home. I was quickly talked into getting a keratin treatment - which I'm pretty sure I needed anyway with as dry as my hair is. The stylist was a very good salesperson - she does get props for that. The salon is very modern and there row of chairs just isn't my preference when it comes to a salon. It wasn't busy so it's not like I was crammed into a bunch of people. It may have bugged me if it was crowded. That's more of a personal preference though. The wash experience wasn't as heavenly as it seemed on their website. She did massage my scalp for a couple mins, which was nice. The one thing I was most put off by is the fact that you have to store your credit card info when using this salon. I was able to talk the receptionist out of giving it for my initial appt (especially since she was pretty obviously reading from a script that just annoyed me that gave 10 reasons for this practice then concluded with "but since your service is free, you wouldn't be charged 50% if you skip the appt bc there's nothing to charge"....then insisted I provide a cc number). She said that it may be able to be waived 1-2 times but long term they have to store the number. I'm sorry. With as much fraud happening these days, I don't store my cc number anywhere I can avoid it (so far this includes everywhere except iTunes). In conclusion, the pushy sales style here is a turn off and I won't return. I was glad to try it out, even if my free service didn't end up being just that. I would have been more likely to return if not pushed into the paid treatment, although again I'm not complaining bc my hair needed it anyway and this just sped up when I got it done. read more

After recently moving to Boulder from Denver, and deciding after almost a year of being back to my natural color, that I wanted to go blonde again. Since my previous salon is now a bit far away, I decided to try one in Boulder. Upon recommendation, I came here and saw Gianna. I felt really welcomed, everyone was so friendly, and I was well taken care of. However, at the end of the appointment my hair didn't seem as blonde as I was hoping, but I assumed it would seem lighter in the sunlight. After a couple days, a few washings, and friends not noticing as much of a difference, I knew my initial feeling was right. I decided to call them back and explain the situation to see what we could do. They were super accommodating and really wanted me to love my hair. They squeezed me in a few days later and it was a wonderful experience. I wasn't sure if they'd be upset with me or something, but everyone was still so friendly and just wanted to see me happy. Gianna was able to do a bit more to get it to a brighter blonde in the balayage-esque way I was hoping for. And it looks beautiful. I really appreciate that they care about their customers and want to make sure you're happy with your hair. Customer service is really important and they nailed it. I'll be going back for sure. read more

I decided to give Studio Be a try after a friend's recommendation. I am so glad that I did! Kortney K. is an amazing hairstylist. She is professional and courteous, and her haircuts never disappoint me! The salon is welcoming with modern décor and friendly staff. The salon offers a complimentary beverage and a relaxing hair wash, which can be further upgraded with a scalp message if should you choose to pamper yourself. Location wise, the salon is located in central Boulder, with lots of parking spots. read more

If you want the full pampering experience, Caitlyn Whalen is your girl. I visited Caitlyn for the first time in August 2017 after not having my hair touched by a professional in three years. Caitlyn made me feel comfortable and used a foil technique that brought life back into my hair while keeping it looking natural. I visited her most recently in November 2017 and we added a little more blonde to brighten it up. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair thanks to Caitlyn. I'm looking forward to visiting her and the rest of the girls at Studio Be in a few months. read more

I tried a number of different salons in the area before SalonBe on Pearl opened up. I'm so thankful that SalonBe opened up because they are the best salon I've been to for several reasons. They have the most bubbly, friendly front desk staff that can turn your frown upside down. Their stylists are easy to talk to and talented. I see Gianna and she does a killer job on my short haircut. Whenever you get a haircut, they get you a drink, which is super nice, especially when they have beer and wine. Their hair washing area is so peaceful and relaxing and then my haircut is always excellent and Gianna always makes sure I am happy before I leave. I'm such a fan I even talked my husband into checking it out and now he is a regular too. I highly recommend SalonBe for a pampering and stylish haircut experience. I've been coming here since they opened over a year ago and won't consider anywhere else. Your cut and color will rock! read more

I've been going to this salon for the past two years and have loved my experience! I came in here for the first time never having colored my hair before and they were so helpful and comforting in explaining the process. They use all Paul Mitchell products which I love and Caitlyn is the best! Every time I go and get my hair colored/cut from her I get tons and tons of compliments. I live in Denver and specially make an effort to go to this salon because I love their staff and they always do a great job. read more

This is my regular place to go to, it's amazing the people are great Kortney K. Is my stylist She is the best, she is very creative and good at what she does. Always does the haircut the way i would ask her to. She also never fails to put her touch when i ask her to. read more

Finally a salon experience that has been well thought through and executed. The front desk checkin is welcoming. You are offered a number of services all with mini upgrades like 10 minutes in heaven scalp massage, which is well worth the price! I have been seeing Shayna at the Boulder location. I look forward to visiting her every month as I have a short pixie cut. Shayna is so talented in short cuts that I get compliments on my hair multiple times a week. In fact, my husband gets a kick out of how many times women ask about my hair! Additionally, the color and styling products are something of luxury. They use an award winning hair care line called Oribe. I have loved every product I've used so far. In visiting with Shayna, she shared that Studio Be is focused on continued education and invests in their stylists because they are setting the bar for what salons should be. I couldn't agree more! She had glowing things to say about the ownership. In my past experiences at other salons it always seems like there is a battle between stylist and the salon owners. I can definitely tell Studio Be is different, where you find mutual respect between the two. One of the most lovely parts of visiting is having the opportunity to enjoy the "quiet room" during wash. This room has dim lighting, soothing music and is acoustically quieted to give you a moment of calm and centering. What a fabulous idea! 5 twinkling stars for my favorite salon!! So happy to have found you! read more

Thank Heaven this amazing place opened in Boulder. Guys, and girls of course... You HaVE to try them out. I've been going to their salon in Fort Collins for 7 years. First, Paul Mitchell products are addictive and amazing. They really work to maintain your color and style- keeping my dry Colorado hair healthy. Speaking of color- these professionals are experts. Especially with fun and funky ideas, always up on the latest trends. Now mind you, I'm 44 so I don't go too nuts, but I always feel amazing when I leave. The beer, wine, soda, coffee offerings are great and the scalp massage is one of the best I've had. In Fort Collins I love Darby and Kristin, and now I've had the pleasure of meeting Kari and her team. AWESOME! read more

Studio Be Salon - Look at that shine! - Hair Salons Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

We just moved to Boulder this summer and I needed a new hairdresser. I went to Yelp and found the salon due to many positive reviews. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Jenna W. who I've seen twice. She has done a great job of listening to what I want, adding or giving me additional ideas, and is always kind and gracious. Happy to have found a new hair home read more

Fabulous color with Kari. What a way to end to a rough day. The new salon is perfect. Parking is very accessible and close. It appears convenient parking was a consideration for the new location. The addition of a barber is a great asset for the Boulder salon. read more

I have been coming here for about 6 months now, which is awesome because I am extremely picky about my hair and usually I don't last this long at a hair salon. I was just in two days ago and saw Nikki for a hair cut. I was getting a drastic new hair cut because the time before I didn't really like the cut that I received. I told Nikki that the last time my bangs were cut too heavy and I had asked for very little trimming on my layers and she had then proceeded to add more layers to my hair. nikki listened to what I wanted and executed it very nicely. I could tell she was a bit timid to cut so much hair off, but she did great. The only thing I would suggest for her is to use less product in the hair. She had put in a root booster and a boosting powder which made it so I couldn't run my hands through my hair. I went home and washed it again. Also, the front desk girl is amazing and super sweet. I always have a good experience and I send everyone I know here. I will definitely be coming back to see nikki. read more

I just moved to Boulder and one of the pain staking parts about moving is that you have to find all new go to people. I made an excellent choice choosing Kelsey at Studio Be! She was so attentive to my hair and even showed me some new styling techniques. I left the salon feeling like a queen! Thank you Kelsey you just became my go to girl ! read more

My transition to grey/blue from black was originally going to be 2 sessions and ended up being 3. The color faded completely out within two days and is sitting at a blonde/orange with some hint of green that kinda looks like I went swimming in a chlorine pool. Kelsey was really eager to hear my feedback and set a plan to maintain a regimen, but I'm pretty apathetic about it all at this point. read more

Our daughter was grateful for Sam's hair expertise and loves her highlights and cut. The staff were professional and kind and also made recommendations for styling products. She recommends Sam for other tee read more

Thanks guys! read more

Was initially really unhappy with the cut I received, however the studio helped fix it for free. Even bumped me up to a senior stylist who I will be going back to. There is some trial and error but the price point and the customer service keep me coming back! read more

I can't say enough about Madeline!! I booked my appt on a whim and based off good reviews I chose Studio Be. Madeline spent the necessary time (over 3 hours people) and two appts to get me what I wanted and my hair is perfect! I had natural dark hair and am transitioning to blonde. First appt got me the initial change and highlight I wanted and the second the overall blonde/light brown to get me the Light tone I wanted. I'll be going back to her to continue my journey to blonde and definitely recommend her and studio be for all your hair needs! read more
