The absolute best people on earth work here seriously, I'm convinced they were hand-picked by the universe (or at least by someone with excellent taste, you know I'm talking about you Shannon). We walked in with a tiny idea and somehow Ashley turned it into a full on dream come true. I'm still not sure if they're stylists/artists/geniuses... or just secretly magicians. They understand colors and shapes in a way that makes you look like the most radiant version of yourself. It's like they can see the "best you" before you even sit in the chair. And on top of that, their kind words and beautiful personalities shine just as bright as their talent. If you're looking for someone who already sees your beauty and knows exactly how to make you shine this is the place. You will leave feeling amazing, grateful, and more fabulous than when I walked in. Thank you for making the whole experience so wonderful! Ashley is the best! read more

Studio FX Hair Design - Dream hair color - Hair Salons Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I said in my first review I would go to Studio FX as long as I lived in the Anchorage area, which was true, and even now having lived in another state for several years I still come here when I'm in town. I visit Alaska twice a year and every time Ashley manages to fit me in. She was doing my hair today and informed me someone found my old review helpful so I thought I'd update it to say I love Ashley and Studio FX so much I still come here to get my hair done even though I live in another state now. Everything I said in my first review still stands. The salon is clean and comfortable with plenty of plants on the wall. In addition to the services, they have a lot of great salon products and some cute things by local artists, including stickers and jewelry. Highly recommend Studio FX! read more

I had a consult for a curl permanent, so glad they do this so we're not surprised after the perm. They are completely honest after testing one rod, I appreciate their opinion and wouldn't want to take a chance having my hair break or change color if we went ahead without testing. Everyone there seems to be in a nice happy mood, I like it. read more

Was able to get a same day appointment for a haircut and am very happy with the result. Andrea was very kind and did a thorough job on my cut. She listened to what I wanted and asked several questions to make sure we were in the same page. I am very happy they could get me in today! read more

I'm horrible at pre booking appointments and usually like to call the week of to get something scheduled. I've seen multiple stylists here and always leave happy! They listen to what I'm asking and make sure to always confirm any details. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

Always a great experience with Ashley. I love love love how she does my hair every time! The vibe is great friendly feel. Great communication w reminder texts, which I appreciate! read more

Wonderful experience; I highly recommend this salon. The appointment was fabulously fantastic! I had the appointment a couple days after what I thought was my back being thrown out (turns out it's actually a fracture and snapped out joint), so you can imagine how much pain I was in, and I can't stand up on my own etc... well that was treated so well and I was helped up, made sure I felt comfy and it was above and beyond hands down. The friendliest group of women and the energy in there was off the charts positive vibes. Maggie was just beaming with joy and kindness and an obvious love for her career as a stylist. My hair came out of beautiful; I wanted to cut my dead ends but she showed me I don't have any rather than just charge me for an unnecessary option. We did a balayage and it's gorgeous (of course NOW I want it even lighter lol but that is me deciding a day after lol). She even gave me tips how to maintain certain looks I want . The whole experience was amazing and I'll be finding my way back. I read more

The Studio FX team are rockstars! I've been going to this salon for years and have always received the best service from the moment I walk in the door. Holly is my stylist and she is amazing! I consistently get compliments on my cut and color and the only reason I hesitate to tell folks who I see is that I don't want her so booked that I can't get in. I especially love that she always ends a service letting me know that if I don't completely love it, to give her a call so she has the opportunity make adjustments. I've never had to take her up on that, but I love that she puts it out there. read more

Meredith is the best! My hair has never looked better. Quality products and great service.

Shannan and her team always go above and beyond!!! Excellent hair style/color as well as a little bit of help when needed.

My husband and I have been going to Studio FX for over 20 years. We have tried many of the stylists. They all do a great job. Seena is my favorite. She is funny, up on the latest styles and makes everyone feel good read more

I have been going here for 9 years and I have the best stylist Holly has guided me thru going from color to natural gray white silver . If Holly is out Amanda is awesome as well . I'm so glad I found you . Took Maria a long time for her to get me your information but I'm so glad she finally did . Truely feels like family when I come in front the front staff Mackenzie to the stylist . read more

My first visit today and this salon has a great, friendly vibe. Every client I saw leaving looked great. I'm very pleased!

Today was my first time at Studio FX. Elizabeth was so sweet and very personable. She helped me pick the perfect color for my hair. Shannon stepped in and managed to put my short curly hair into the absolute most beautiful updo. I will definitely be a lifelong client. Thank you so much for an amazing salon experience. read more

Asked for a trim.. changed my mind to an A-line hair cut. I have naturally curly hair and my hairstylist was able to work with it :). I reserved a cut last minute through Yelp and received a 10% discount. My stylist did great and very efficient! read more

Love this place! My stylist/colorist is THE best. Highly recommend! My appointments are more like mini-spa days and I always look forward to them. Prices are about average and always worth it! read more

The second stylist I had was the complete opposite ..very poor treatment of my hair overlapping & uneven color touchup, missing sections of my gray. I had my color touched up out of state a week later & had professional moisturizing or glazing treatment to re-moisturize the over processed damaged hair. Hair was also improperly blown dry with a very hot setting. read more

Studio FX Hair Salon is simply the BEST. My personal stylist is Sheena and she is a magician with all things hair related! My highlights are on point and she is such a delight to chat with. read more

Very professional business. I love my master sytylist Sheena. I've seen her for years.She is excellent!

Great service. Meredith is knowledgeable and attentive. I was very happy with my haircut.

I walked in for a haircut and got it done by Shaun. It's so pretty and it's exactly what I asked for! I'm so happy and will definitely be coming back. I had tried a few other places before and was less than satisfied... but here I was listened to and got a beautiful hair transformation! read more

I really love it here. I love the whole setup, the fact that it's a learning salon, and the care everyone brings. You can tell everybody loves what they are doing and wants you to love it too. I came in for an ombré, but know not everything can be done to my hair. It ended up less of an ombré at first, but an absolutely gorgeous color that I felt bad saying ehhh. The owner looked and said ah yeah, we should add this in because it's what you want. Rather than anybody getting upset, the hairdresser I had, me, and the owner all worked through it together to get what I wanted. Honestly though, the kindness and patience was just so amazing. She even left a gift for my patience at the end, which was so not necessary but put an extra smile on my face. Check them out :) read more

Amanda is amazing! Not only makes she walk you out of the studio like a goddess, she is such a great person to speak with throughout the session and super important:: best hair washes & massage combo ever! read more

I came here based on the reviews on Yelp for bridal hair. This was a horrible experience. I told her what my vision was, which was hair to the side and curls to flow down. Needless to say, it all came out wrong! There was nothing special that she did that I couldn't do. I had to tell her to change it up a few times because it was just not looking right. At the end, she didn't even put a mirror to my hair for me to see what it looks like or asked if I was content about it. She finished up, stood me up and just walked me up to pay. I had been up since 5am running around setting up my venue and picking up last minute things. Obviously, I just didn't have the energy to deal with it. In my head I thought how bad could it really be. She said all bobby pins were hidden (which they weren't if you look at my picture). It was just ugly messy hair, that looked like it was put together in 5 minutes. I ended up crying when I got to my hotel to get ready. The hair was so hideous. I had a few of my bridesmaids and girlfriends take it down and start over with something else. What my friends put together was beautiful. I can't believe I paid a professional to mess up my hair on my wedding day!!! read more

Studio FX Hair Design - They consider this as "bridal hair". Looks like a 5 year old did it. - Hair Salons Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Awesome job Studio FX! COVID has added additional pressure - they are doing it right! You cannot go into the salon unless you have an appt, and are actively in the chair, hand sanitizer in several spots, plenty of room between clients, wash basin sanitized after every use, masks required and of course the station is sanitized. Holly is literally the best! This has been by 'go to' place and will continue to be. Cheers! read more

I went in to have a cut and perm today and I requested Jessica who is tried and true. Over that last 5-6 years I have never had a complaint! She is very personable and more importantly, a skilled hair dresser with lots of experience. I like the salon and the people who work there are quite friendly and accommodating to a client's needs. The prices are reasonable, unlike some hoity-toity salons I've visited. read more

Rhonda, you're the best not only as the master ‍ that you are but as a wonderful lady I'm privileged to know. See you in a few short months. Mahalo and much Aloha. read more

Great service from Miss Ashley, my stylist for 17 years now. A warm, friendly salon staffed by lovely people.

Studio FX is doing an amazing job in respect to COVID -19 and the safety of their clients. Masking, hand hygiene, and station wipe down (terminal cleaning) was all done during my 2 hour color visit. I travel from a village, and specifically request Amanda for all my cuts and colors. She is extremely knowledgeable, a pleasure to visit with during my processing. I always leave her stun feeling extra special. I have referred family and many acquaintances to her and Studio FX over the years. read more

My first time using this business. Liz did a great job with my cut, color and highlights. I'm very picky and cautious on trying a new person, but I was traveling and needed service while away from home. I'll be back. read more

I've been coming here for years and don't ever plan on leaving. Rhonda, Ashley, and Shannon are phenomenal stylists. You'll feel very welcome here! read more

Great place..I've been getting a men's cut here for a year! Everyone is nice and the price is right!

I went to FX looking for a cut that would change things up and was super happy with the results. Jessica was my stylist and she really listens to the hair goals you have and creates the look you want. She is also very sweet and engaging. So not only did I get a great hair cut, I enjoyed spending time chatting with with Jessica. :) read more
