This salon and their staff deserve all the praise!! After a terrible experience at another salon, Ashely and her team were so kind and helped my get my hair back to a healthy place. They were able to squeeze me in for a cut and as soon as I walked in I was met with warmth and kindness. I would recommend this salon and Ashley to anyone looking for kindness and quality work!!! read more

Heather was very pleasant to work with, very informative, and took very good care of my curly hair

The VERY best place to get a massage! Go see Nancy immediately!!. The salon itself is gorgeous and Aberdeen is really booming! read more

Studio Elite - Massage - Hair Salons Near Me - Aberdeen, North Carolina

I'm thankful I got a refund, now I can fix my hair I went in for a full head of highlights and left like this.

I love this place. Nancie the massage therapist is wonderful. It's also a great place for a man's haircut!

This salon is not only beautiful but also the staff is super helpful and accommodating. I attend fundraising events throughout the year, and they are my one-stop shop for hair and makeup. I always look and feel so beautiful leaving! Thanks ladies for always doing the most! read more

I started with Elite Studio when I wanted some new funky fresh hair color! Haley Johnson is AMAZING! She has a very creative mind and when you bring your ideas, pictures etc to her...she adds her flair to it! She takes the time to set down with you and look over what your ideas are, discusse the correct technique to use to preserve the integrity of your hair then gets to work! I left there feeling 20 yrs younger and a gorgeous head of fresh flowy hair!! I used to go to a salon in Raleigh and now I am so happy I found Haley and this salon in Aberdeen. If you are looking for a highly creative and uber talented hair artist..I highly recommend her!! The salon is unique in it's interior design. It's gorgeous with beautiful furnishings and an Old World feel. read more

See all

The salon itself is just gorgeous and the staff has been nothing but friendly. The stylist / owner that has been doing my hair does a good job. Problem is she is usually a few minutes late to arrive for my appointment. My time is just as important as hers; wonder if she realizes that? This time, it's worse. I made an appointment a month ago to get my hair done today. Two weeks after I made the appointment, the receptionist calls to inform me my stylist / owner has to cancel because she has a camping trip she forgot about. I let her know I have to get my hair done that day as I have a function I am attending. She asks if I would mind booking with someone else and I was fine with that. Well, an hour before my appointment this morning, the receptionist calls to cancel saying the backup stylist's children are both sick and she can't come in to do my hair. I ask if there is anyone else available as I have a function to attend and must get my hair done. Guess what, not a soul is available today. They tell me the stylist with the sick kids was the only one booked today. UGH!!! How am I supposed to get a hair appointment on a Saturday morning with a function this evening? I'm really disappointed in the service (lack of?). Bottom line, if you just want your hair done and don't have a special occasion, this is the place for you. However, if you absolutely need it done for a function, I suggest you make your appointment somewhere more reliable. UPDATE:The receptionist called me around noon to say that another stylist was available and could do my hair at Noon. I appreciated the effort, but it was too late in the day. If my original appointment was kept, I would have been done by Noon. She was very sweet when she called me though. My friends tell me not to go back, that there are many other salons just as good out there, so I think I'm going to find one that does a good job and is a little more reliable. It's a shame though, because I really did like it there. read more

I am very partial to this very special salon! I've considered it my second home for the past 19 years (minus a year 1/2: long story- bad decisions on my part). I've never known another hair salon where sooo many woman genuinely love, care about, and are willing to help each other out whenever needed! This is truly hard to find! For almost 10 years I taught haircolor for Goldwell~ which gave me the opportunity to travel to other salons literally all over the country. This is when I realized what a special team of caring professionals we are blessed with. After being in business for almost 20 years (19 actually)- ofcourse some bad apples managed to sneak in - but thankfully have moved along elsewhere! Some we have lost due to military husbands having to move & even career changes- they have been & still are truly missed. We were however fortunate enough to gain wonderful replacements. Some younger and as much as we love to help & teach them, they keep us young and teach us the newer techniques being taught. It definitely goes both ways! In this industry you never stop learning! And you definitely NEVER know it all!!! The owners are the absolute best and I cannot praise them enough. If you are looking for a salon family & not "just somewhere to get a cut" this salon is the answer! Call for an appointment today with any of our many stylists. Our spa side is amazing as well with an awesome esthetician- Keitha, Olivia doing eyelash extensions, & Kris doing permanent makeup. Thu does an amazing job with nails & was also nominated for "Best in the Pines"- along with many other nominations the Salon has won the past 4 years! This salon is by far the BEST read more

I've been going here for about 1 1/2 years now and Autumn is my stylist. Everytime I see Autumn to get my hair done my hair looks great. This is by far the best salon around for a variety of styles. You can get modern coloring or more traditional styles at this location. The atmosphere is vintage yet trendy while still keeping the down to earth vibe. read more

Love Carlee! She always listens and is patient with my "3 heads full of hair". I love the cut she gives me every time and the color is great. She is a joy to have as my hair stylist! read more

I have been a client of studio elite for 5 years..specifically seeing Kris W. I have always had fantastic results. I have changed my hair sooo many times..cuts..colors..bleaching..stripping.. I have never been disappointed. The prices of service is excellent considering this is an upscale salon. I have seen very happy clients leaving over the years (cuts every 6-8 weeks..over 5 years) Not very high turnover..I've seen the same stylists working most times I go. I've read the negative reviews..and I suppose folks will always post the negative.. So I encourage anyone reading to try for yourself. I have ALWAYS been greeted when coming in.. Rachel has been there for years..and I can assure you..NOT the woman to leave a lady waiting 20 minutes past appointment with a 1 year old.. read more

I've been going to Studio Elite since they opened in 2001. I see only Ashley and she will work her magic! She will give me exactly what I'm looking for and makes my hair gorgeous! You immediately feel welcome at Studio Elite; the vibe is friendly and genuine and beautiful inside! I always get many complements on my hair and have been referring people there for about 18 years. All the stylists know what they are doing! You will not be disappointed! read more

I have been going to Studio Elite for about a year and have never been dissatisfied. Carlee does my hair every time to perfection! She has always cut it but recently she put highlights in it. The highlights blended so well with my natural color that it didn't look like I just got them done - it looked natural. Everyone in the studio is always so nice when I go in there. It's a very welcoming environment and very nice. I highly recommend going here for any of your needs! read more

I love coming here! All the stylists are great and create beautiful hair on all their clients. I have only seen Ashley for my hair. She does a wonderful job. I love seeing the great styles the other stylist come up with on their clients. Fun and upbeat atmosphere. read more

I had an appointment for my son at 1. I was acknowledged by the nail tech....but then she disappeared. I sat there with my son until 1:20. No receptionist was ever at the front desk. No one came by to let me know an estimated wait time.....how long should I have sat there with my son?? We were going to pay upwards of 50 dollars for a kids hair cut, But they can't afford a receptionist? I left feeling pretty irritated that my time was wasted, kind of inexcusable for a "high end salon". read more

This place is fan-freakin-tastic! I had been going to SportClips and the like for ages where the haircuts/styling was hit or miss, usually miss. After a particularly terrible cut (I'd post pics but they would make you nauseous), I decided to go see someone for professional help. Let me tell you. From when you first walk in the door at Studio Elite you're treated like royalty, and the decor is in a lovely neo-Mediterranean style. We're talking leather and velvety chenille throughout: a very chic experience. The stylist who performed miracles on my hair, an incredible brunette half-way down on the right side, channeled pure magic through her expertise and artful touch. I walked in a peasant and walked out a prince. read more

I absolutely love going to Studio Elite. The salon is beautiful and everyone is so friendly. I always look forward to seeing my favorite hairdresser, Carlee Lambert! She has a wonderful personality and such talent. If you need a new look, you should definitely give Carlee a call! read more

You do not want to go to Studio Elite...EVER. Three time I had my hair colored by Jennifer ( who will talk you ear off about things you don't need to know and will NOT pay attention to your hair)...all THREE times, ( once was a do- over) she left gray in my hair. IN THE VERY places I pointed out I had gray!!!! TEN years I have had GOLDWELL color from various stylists and they got all the gray--never ONCE did I have to get my hair done twice over.. My mom and sister in-law in another state are hair stylsts and said that THIS shouldn't happen. Jennifer offered to talk to my former stylist in Ohio who DOES get the color everytime...now why would she do that? Because as she said " I didn't know what else to do".and this last time I went there is STILL GRAY. The office and owners could care less about customers..they care about each other and refuse to take care of matters. I want my money back because I didn't get what I paid for and have to go to another salon who does GOLDWELL to get a decent color job. I have met at least THREE other women who have gone to this shop and will not go back to her or the shop. I put in a call to the manager but she didn't do anything..I asked for the owners name but she didn't offer one of the owners phone number-so I looked up Dawn Hussey , one of the owners and put in a call to her...so far nothing. Her name was given to me as HUSSEY but that's not what the site says...maybe they didn't want me to talk to her..wonder why??? IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HAIR-- DO NOT GO HERE! Most of the girls who made it a great shop are gone. read more

The service was awesome and everyone made me feel welcomed! I will be returning soon for a shape up with Carlee Lambert. By far my most favorite salon experience. read more

I highly recommend Studio Elite!!! The service is always impeccable!!! That's why I travel 45 minutes for Carlee to cut, color, and style my hair!! Not only is the service great the salon is beautiful!!! Customer for life!! read more

I absolutely love this salon!! I have been getting my hair done at Studio Elite for as long as I can remember and have been driving to the salon from Raleigh for the past 4 years or so because there is no one else I trust to do my hair. Tonia is wonderful and super talented and I would definitely recommend booking an appointment with her. I have had several others do my hair over the years as well and all have done a great job. I have nothing but good things to say about this place and have never had a bad experience in all the years that I have been coming here! Definitely worth checking this place out. read more

Carlee Lambert gave me a Goldwell Keratin treatment and I am thrilled with it. No more frizz! Hopefully it will stay that way all summer. :-) Carlee was very sweet and easy to chat with. Love this salon! read more

I had been a customer of Studio Elite, Erica Monroe always did such an excellent job styling my hair. I understand she is no longer a hairstylist. I tried a new stylist, Amber, and was so disappointed with the haircut I received. She started the haircut before it was even washed -chopping away with texturizing scissors with no regard. I showed her several pictures so that she would get the right idea of how I wanted my haircut, and she cut it so short there was no way that she could have interpreted those pictures for the haircut that I received. I actually squealed when she started to cut my hair so short on the sides that I couldn't even tuck it behind my ears. I've actually delayed my review, because I was so upset that I thought I might actually leave too harsh of a review of Amber's work... that maybe my hair would get better after a couple weeks and maybe it wasn't so bad... Just extremely short. I was so wrong. Even after two weeks my hair is chopped in places And incongruously longer in others. I actually have to go to another salon to get a "fix" haircut. There were actually strands behind my ears that she didn't even cut. One of my coworkers actually said she was sorry she was going to have to tell me, but it looked like I needed to get a haircut that would repair my butchered hair cut. Remember the scene in Game of Thrones when Queen Cersei got all her hair chopped off- we'll now I know how she felt. I've had some bad haircuts in my day, but this has got to be the worst one I have ever gotten it all my 40+ years on this earth. It wasn't that it was just so much shorter than I had planned, it was botched on top of it. Amber seemed very nice and I hope this was just a bad day for her, but I won't be having another go with Amber. read more
