George and Zena took such great care of me. I had been told by multiple hairstylists that removing…read morethe permanent orange/red tones from my hair would be a long process, but George immediately knew exactly what to do. With 35 years of experience coloring hair, he completely transformed my hair and achieved exactly what I wanted. George was incredibly kind, positive, and attentive, and he made me feel genuinely heard and understood. His colleagues were just as welcoming and even found me a phone charger while I was there. The pricing was also very reasonable for everything I had done. I'm so happy with the result and will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!

I had a 25 minute virtual consultation. One of the things discussed was that I needed my grays…read morecovered. I was given 2 options covering all goals discussed - 1. start off with highlights/lowlights/gloss or 2. Start off with a gloss. I chose starting with a gloss. After the gloss was washed out I noticed grays and asked about it. It was then I was told, "a gloss doesn't cover grays. We'd be lucky to get 30-40% coverage with a gloss." After getting home I now realize the gloss isn't even and pulled reddish. I did leave without a blow dry out of frustration so in all fairness I'm sure they would have adjusted that had I stayed. But also, I figured it would probably be fine since it's a gloss but not the case. The manager did offer for another appointment with the owner or another stylist but I declined and they did not charge me. Just posting to help another person avoid this.

Not only did they do an…read moreamazing job on everyone's hair, but they went above and beyond decorating the salon and cultivating a fun environment to get ready. They accommodated 17 people in addition to an outside makeup artist they allowed me to bring in.

My wedding was in the neighborhood and it was an amazing place to start the day! Gaston and his team brought my wedding hair dreams to life and discussed with me what I was hoping for beforehand so there were no unexpected surprises the day of. He also gave my husband the perfect men's cut. I would recommend this salon for any hair needs as well as if you're looking for a getting ready spot for your most important events!

Megan has created such a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, and after 20 years, she truly feels like family. If you're looking for an incredible men's haircut and a stylist who genuinely cares about her clients, I can't recommend Megan and Revive Hair Studio enough. Five stars all the way!

If you have fine hair or a sensitive scalp, this salon is not for you. I told him I wanted layers and bangs / face framing pieces, as well as a wash and blow dry. I left (crying) with unconditioned, damp, and unevenly cut hair. Since he doesn't use a detangler or heat protectant before styling, a bunch of my hair ended up falling out bc he was brushing it so aggressively. He was a nice guy, just no technique, didn't listen to me when I said it hurt, and was clearly overbooked (2 other ppl had the same appointment time as me).
