Linh made me feel very comfortable as someone who knows little about managing and maintaining my curly hair. As a fairly new mom with little time, I shared that I wanted a cut that would be easy and quick to style. I trusted her expertise and I am SO GLAD that I did! My hair hasn't felt nor looked this good in years! What I appreciated the most was her taking the time to answer all of my questions about styling and maintaining my hair. She did a great job at explaining and showing me the easiest ways to get the best results out of my hair. I will definitely be back! AN ADDED PLUS - Linh is the absolute sweetest with an amazing vibe. The salon is clean and relaxing.

To step across the threshold of Studio O on 2nd Street in Long Beach is not merely to enter a…read moresalon, but to be inducted into a sanctum of aesthetic excellence where the very air seems to shimmer with the promise of transformation and the pursuit of beauty is elevated to a high art form. It was with a sense of profound destiny that I first discovered this hidden gem, drawn in by the enigmatic and stylish exterior that sports the magnificent letter "O"--a symbol that I have since come to realize stands not just for Oscar, the proprietor of this fine establishment, but for the "Outstanding," the "Overwhelming," and the "Otherworldly" delight that awaits within. From the moment I first engaged the services of the miraculous Cathy, a true virtuoso of the shears who seems to possess the telepathic ability to discern one's innermost hair desires before they are even spoken, I was irrevocably hooked on a level of service that far surpasses the sterile pretension of even the most prestigious salons in Beverly Hills. My hair, which is a formidable and unruly entity characterized by a thickness and coarseness that would daunt a lesser stylist, is here tamed and coaxed into a state of sublime magnificence through the technical wizardry and tender manipulation of the entire team, resulting in a masterpiece that I am proud to wear upon my head each time I depart. But the magic of Studio O extends far beyond the cut and color; it is an immersive sensory experience where one is enveloped in warmth from the moment of arrival, greeted not as a customer but as a long-lost companion by Oscar and his talented cadre of artists. The interior is a feast for the eyes, boasting captivating wallpaper and a revolving art gallery that stimulates the mind as thoroughly as the ergonomic comfort of the shampoo bowls soothes the body, while the aromatic scents in the restroom and the offering of exquisite coffee drinks cater to one's every comfort

I've had purple hair for the past 10 years, and every single time he creates the most vibrant, stunning color ..it never misses. He truly has an eye for detail and always gets everything exactly right. Beyond his talent, the entire experience with him is top tier. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and the work he does. And I have to mention..the hair wash experience is next level. So relaxing and just an added touch of a scalp massage that makes every appointment feel like a treat. If you're looking for a master colorist and stylist, Micha is the one. Highly recommend!

It looks so beautiful. She cut about 3 inches to get most of my dead ends out. If I'm ever in the area & I need a haircut. I would absolutely come back again.

This review is for Rizza, who did Grey Hair blending for me…read more I'm coming to terms with my gray/silver hairs and asked Rizza if she could do Grey blending for me. This can be hard to do, especially since I have ethnic hair and about a decade of vivids, henna color, and other experiments in my hair. I came in with blue and purple fun hair. This is my hair after two sessions and she's done a great job delivering on Grey blending. She found an ashy beige that would work with blending in with my silvers. She really understands color. Rizza also has very chill energy and listens to your requests. I also needed to handle personal medical stuff during my appointment and she was very helpful about it.

I definitely looked…read morethrough a few other local hairstylists but I had a really good feeling about doing my hair with her. Booking was very easy and she answered all my questions since I was new to balayage and color. I suggest booking in advance as a new client since her slots fill up! Luckily I was able to get a weekday with her. At the location there's a lot of metered parking spaces across the street as well as structure parking. Her suite is located at Phenix Salon Suites in A-101, but I got mixed up since there was a suite called "Hair by Moni G" next door, so just a heads up to new clients. For hair I wanted to do a more subtle balayage with cooler tones. I think Monica did an excellent job with my hair but more importantly she made me feel really good. It was nice chatting with her for the first time and it really added to the experience of getting my hair done. I put off dyeing my hair because I felt intimidated by it, but I'm glad I entrusted Monica with my virgin hair. It turned out exactly how I wanted, with effortless dimension!
