Over the past five years, I have regularly visited Japanese hair salons in Los Angeles, New York City, and Boston while traveling frequently. In those experiences, even when a haircut did not fully match my preferred style or length, the technical quality was consistently strong, and any adjustments were handled professionally. Unfortunately, this experience was very different. One of the defining characteristics of a Japanese haircut is the smoothness, softness, precision, and careful organization of the layers. In my case, the cut lacked those qualities and appeared uneven and poorly structured (the photo from the back). I was also disappointed by the salon's management. Based on my experience, the overall operation and quality control did not reflect the standards typically associated with Japanese salons. Update (May 2026): Over the past 4 years, I have been with my Japanese hair stylist in New York. I returned to the salon to see Keiko because I was hoping to find a long-term stylist in Washington, DC. I had not had my haircut for 7 months prior to that because I delivered a baby in December 2025. Ozuki appeared to be one of the few salons in the area offering Japanese hairstylists. Immediately after the appointment, the haircut looked good due to the styling and blow-dry. However, within a few days, the shape became difficult to manage and appeared increasingly unstructured. The photo on my ID, taken approximately three weeks after the haircut, reflects how the cut settled over time. In contrast, the Japanese haircuts I have received elsewhere typically maintain their shape and balance for several months. Despite my concerns, I scheduled another appointment six weeks after the first haircut with Keiko because I genuinely hoped the issues could be corrected and that I could establish a relationship with a local stylist. At the same time, I let the management know that my haircut had bad form and hope that it can be resolved at the second appointment. Unfortunately, my interactions with management, Liz, were once again disappointing. Rather than addressing the concerns constructively, the response left me with little confidence that the salon could deliver the level of quality I was seeking. This is the first Japanese salon where I have repeatedly had unsatisfactory experiences. Based on the consistency of those experiences, I am not convinced that the salon operates at the standard typically associated with Japanese hairstyling.

She carelessly placed a wet towel on my shoulder and did not even know how to properly secure the cape. When I raised these concerns at the front desk, the staff offered no apology. Instead, they dismissively told me that rebooking with a star stylist would take weeks, exhibiting an extremely discriminatory attitude. While the receptionist eventually scheduled me with a different stylist for two weeks later, I subsequently received an email stating they would not provide me with any service at all. Please DO NOT visit this salon unless you want to experience blatant discrimination.

He literally just chopped my hair up. The bottom of my hair in the back was an upside down triangle! Every stylist knows it should be straight across and maybe just a bit rounded on the sides! Any salon would have easily provided a (normal) soft, feminine, sexy, natural cut that is subtle perhaps at different skill levels. This guy clearly had no concept of how to cut (straight) hair because his clueless messes get disguised easily in wavy or curly hair or in a blow dry with curling brush.

I asked for a natural looking balayage and showed Zhen literally four different pictures of examples I liked. I expressed that I really wanted the hair to look natural, blended and not ombre'd or striped. Both Zhen and the manager refused to try to make it right when I expressed my disappointment in my hair.

I don't think I've ever had a better experience with a salon than with The Studeo. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I think Frankie might be the most talented and genuinely intuitive hair professional, I have ever come across in my long life of salon adventures! I'm a little older, and have problems with hair loss and thinning, and all I wanted was to have nice hair again! I did my research and found this salon, emailed, and got a very prompt reply from Frankie. I went in for a consult and asked about extensions and color and whatever I could do to improve my awful hair. He was thorough and honest about the process, the best kind of extensions for me, the best color, the cost and all the details and was extremely professional yet friendly and approachable. He was also wonderfully patient with my million questions. I had to wait a couple of weeks for my extensions and topper, but it was SO worth it. He colored my hair a dark blonde, installed the extensions and in 4 hours, I looked like a different person! My husband, my friends and family are in awe. The hair looks completely natural and it looks like my own hair. The hair color he chose matches the topper and extension perfectly and works beautifully with my skin tone. My hard to please mother in law said that it took at least ten years off my face. My experience in the shop was a good one. The staff are appropriately professional with great attention to detail, and they maintain a contagious and collective sense of humor. I love that. I saw many gorgeous cuts and color jobs while I was there and the customers were all happy with their hair. That's always a good sign. I just can't say enough good things about this salon and staff. I now have gorgeous hair, that isn't difficult to care for, and I couldn't be happier. There is no such thing as cheap extensions if you want a professional looking job. This process was not inexpensive, but I knew and agreed to the costs up front. It was worth every penny. Frankie is unquestionably an intuitive genius with hair, as well as knowledgeable, intelligent, and is as charming as can be. If you are searching for a great salon, where you will feel comfortable, and feel that you have gotten your money's worth, then this is the salon for you. I've given it the highest possible rating here because I walked out of there looking and feeling like I have beautiful hair again. Do yourself a favor and check it out. read more

First of all, I had completely natural, long hair and was terrified to finally color my hair. But, I had want to lighten it up for so long and I really wanted a new ashy blonde color for my wedding day! I had heard great reviews of Frankie and his salon online, and through word of mouth of friends of mine who go there. I decided to take a leap of faith and go for it. I am SOOOO beyond happy with the results! The entire team there is SO friendly and it is like you already know them when you walk in the door. They made me feel so comfortable and joked and was so fun. I will remain a client there for my hair, but I swear I really just want to go back to hang out with the staff! I had long DARK brownish blondish hair to begin with that has undertones that are VERY golden and yellow. So if I lighten my hair it would be this very yellowy blonde when I wanted a muted ash blonde. That is something very difficult to achieve with my hair. I asked so many questions and Frankie knew the answer and MORE to every question. I had a few sessions so that it wasn't as damaging on my hair. Frankie lightened up with a balayage and then Angie helped to ash it out and add highlights. They helped a newbie like me on how to take care of my hair afterwards, how to grow it out subtly (roots/etc), recommended products, went above and BEYOND. I wear clip in extensions and I wanted to find ones to match my new hair color, A WEEK BEFORE THE WEDDING, and Angie was so helpful she even gave me her personal phone number and said she would find time in her booked schedule to color my extensions if need be. Overall best salon experience I've had, and am sure to have many more trips over to the Studeo in my future :o) I put a before and after shot in The Studeo Yelp page album. The after shot was when I woke up 3 days after I got my hair colored (without washing!). read more

Frankie is the man. I started going to him for cuts & color, but I've branched out into...everything. Frankie explains every service that he offers in such depth, and how it will work in the state your hair is currently in and where you can take it. That's really important for us previously over-bleached blondes. I currently go to Frankie for cuts, color, lasio keratin treatments, glazes, fusion hair extensions, tape in hair extensions, and make-up. He can do it all with skill, passion, and a wealth of knowledge. He continuously goes to classes in New York at TIGI to learn or refine his skills. I've taken my color from a horrible gold, over done blonde to an ash that I think it more suiting. I've also changed my cut a bit with face framing, which can make a huge difference on the shape of your facial features, with subtle changes in your cut. He only uses the highest quality, safe products. The lasio keratin treatments are formaldehyde free and leave your hair feeling SO much more healthy. The hair extensions have been for fun. I love the different colors that I can choose from, without coloring my own hair. The fusion extensions are a fantastic option if you want to try hair extensions for the first time. You can add color with them, or volume, and they DO NOT damage your hair. They're applied with a keratin bond that can be easily removed, leaving your hair perfectly intact. I think that one of Frankie's greatest skills that he doesn't always get as much of a chance to do is make-up. He's truly gifted, and will give you fantastic tips that you can use when applying make-up yourself. ABOVE ALL: Not only is Frankie a great stylist, he's a genuine person, which is hard to find in the DC area. He's really open about his life and is interested in yours as well. I truly feel lucky that I found him, and wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I booked an appointment with Jasmine based on the recommendation of the receptionist when I called to inquire about scheduling with an expert colorist. My hair is naturally very thick, long, dark, and curly and hasn't been color treated (or treated at all for that matter) in nearly a year since my previous stylist moved to NYC. Needless to say finding a replacement stylist was a daunting task I'd been avoiding, but my hair was desperately in need. Upon my first consultation, Jasmine was both friendly and professional (and beautifully stunning!)--she examined the condition of my hair thoroughly while listening to my concerns and before making recommendations. What I really appreciated was her honesty--while she did not completely shut down my hopes of going from dark chocolate hair to blonde she did let me know that the transformation would "be an ongoing process" requiring several appointments and stressed the importance of maintaining my hair health. During this particular appointment she performed treatments for moisturizing and conditioning my hair which left my hair shiny, soft and voluminous! I was truly amazed at the noticeable difference after the blow dry. She also cut dead ends to help with breakage in preparation for the color--highlights first (ash blonde which I've gotten so many compliments on already) then balayage for all subsequent sessions in order to gradually lighten my hair. Overall this was a really great experience, Jasmine was extremely knowledgeable in her technique and product recommendations and was available to answer my questions about the home care routine after my appointment. I will definitely be coming back for these reasons and I'm very much looking forward to my next appointment! read more

Hair is one of the most personal things I can think of - and for that reason, no salon can be a one-size-fits all. If you're looking for calm yet aloof -- The Studeo is not the right place for you. But if you want warm chaos that's full of heart, that's exactly what The Studeo is. I've had my hair done by Frankie (who is great with cutting thick, unruly hair like mine and is my go-to cutting guy) as well as by Wes, who is now officially a stylist at the Studeo (and better be my colorist for life)! Wes gave me a beautiful balayage (and a good cut too, but I really want to rave about the color! You can see the results in the header of this page.) Wes is that rare combination of true artistry and customer service; someone who actually listens to what you want rather than assuming that he knows best. His coloring technique is natural yet precise . . . and be prepared, he will not let you leave until it's perfect. I find it interesting that some reviewers have felt lectured. . . because far from being lectured or scolded, I felt listened to and informed. Neither Wes nor Frankie ever tried to sell me tons of products (unlike almost every other salon I've been to) or make me feel guilty about my lackadaisical hair care routine. They have shared useful tips for prolonging my color, reducing styling time, etc. because they are all passionate about hair. I also really appreciate that everyone in the salon is committed to keeping up to date on trends and learning new skills; it's one of the many things that shows that they all love what they do. read more

I walk by this salon everyday on my way home from work and finally decided to give them a try. I was not expecting much since every salon I've been to since moving to DC has been mediocre. The space seems cool and laid back. I was greeted by another stylist who was very nice and told that Jordan would be with me soon. I was about 15 minutes early so I settled in with a magazine to wait until my appointment time. To my surprise Jordan came up shortly after with her previous client (who's hair looked fabulous) so I already felt at ease when she said that she was ready to take me. I had paid a ton of money at a super trendy salon and hated the shredded cut I received there. Jordan took one look at my hair and said "you have great hair but it could really use some shape" mind reader! She meticulously cut my limp, lifeless hair and urged me to try wearing my natural texture on a day when I didn't have anywhere special to be. As addicted as I am to my blowdryer and flat iron I have to say that when I let my hair dry on it's own I was pleasantly surprised by how nicely the layers fell. She also walked me through different ways of styling my hair that I have yet to try but even my usual styling regimine is easier now that I have some shape! read more

Literally created a Yelp account just to talk about how great Jessi is. I went in for a haircut two weeks ago and she was able to get rid of all my split ends without compromising the length of my hair, which was extremely important to me. Today, I came in with some photos for balayage and she made it look even better on me than in the photos. She transitioned my hair from very solidly brown to a honey blond and it's so pretty and natural looking. I'm definitely going back to her in 2 months for toner and to lighten up my hair a little more for the spring. Also, Jessi's really fun to talk to, extremely skilled, and takes her work very seriously so I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to color their hair, especially if they're going for balayage. As for The Studeo itself, it's completely wonderful. The staff is very skilled and knowledgable. They're also really welcoming too and really try to make coming in for a hair appointment fun, instead of just being an errand (allegedly Frankie has an Alicia Keys impression that I'm dying to hear haha). Overall, just really impressed with them and glad I found a salon that I like this much so soon after moving to the DMV area. read more

I went to get my hair cut here for the first time a few weeks ago, and obviously given all the good reviews I requested Frankie. First off, let me start by saying i have had some DISASTROUS hair cuts that have definitely made me paranoid about trying new places, but as I just recently moved to DC and my hair was getting pretty long/damaged, I felt the time had come to take the risk. This was definitely the best hair cut of my life. Frankie didn't cut a single inch over what I told him I wanted (which is what I'm always most paranoid about). Honestly when I first saw the cut, I liked it a lot but didn't think it was super special, but now I see how talented Frankie was because it has been growing out SO BEAUTIFULLY. Even though it's just been a few weeks I can see how my hair finally has shape and I think I'll finally be able to grow it out a lot more (which is what I had told him I wanted). He really does understand how to frame your hair properly so that it matches the shape of your face. It helps that he's really nice and actually listens to what you want :) I will definitely go back! read more

I was interested in either Brazilian or Japanese hair straightening and bumped into Frankie/Studeo online. After discussing the process and his experience with him on the phone, I came to the salon, where Frankie spent a lot of time answering my numerous questions about both types of straightening, their pros and cons, etc. It was clear that he has been doing this for many years and would not do it unless I felt completely comfortable. I proceeded with Brazilian straightening, and it was a very positive experience then and afterward. The hair turned out looking and feeling better than I expected, and I had a "hair-carefree" summer in humid DC. It has not lasted as long as I wished even with proper product, etc. (it's been three months and the hair is almost back to normal), but I'm going back because it proved to be worth the expense. read more

After having visited several hair salons, Victoria is the only stylist in the DMV that I trust to cut my hair. She listens closely to what I want and gives me exactly what I asked for every single time. Not only is she an extremely skilled stylist, but she truly cares about her clients. She always answers my questions with complete honesty and goes the extra mile to provide wonderful advice/suggestions to make sure that I leave with the best service possible. I loved her so much that I referred my sister and a close friend to her for cuts/color treatments, and they were both blown away by the results and the customer service that Victoria provided.

I had my hair cut with Samantha and I would definitely recommend her/will be going to her in the future. She listened to exactly what I wanted, gave her professional opinion, and executed what we had agreed on. I truly appreciated this since it has not always been my experience at other places. I actually have had anxiety about hair cuts in the past because it's typical to go in, ask for a trim, and leave with 2+ inches gone - which always drives me nuts since my hair grows so slowly and it would take me months to get back to what I actually initially wanted! Samantha understood what I was trying to grow my hair out and keep it long for my upcoming wedding - she took off just enough to keep my hair healthy and no more! read more

This review is strictly for Frankie's knowledge, talent, personality and reliability. I have been to see him three times now and always LOVE the transformation when I leave his chair. Frankie is always traveling to do continuing education for his trade to stay fresh and on top of all techniques and trends. He takes the time to talk to you and explain all processes for the various services he offers to ensure you do what is right for you. I drive from Northern VA just to see him and well worth the trip. If you are looking for chic ambiance, Salon Loule is not the place for you however, if you want an amazing stylist then you need look no further.

Usually I don't like listening to Yelp reviews because I find they are mostly written by self absorbed people who like to complain about things, but I decided to try out the Studeo because I was in the area. I went to Samantha and she was brilliant. I had let my dark roots grow out a little and I wasn't sure which way I wanted to go so I left it up to her. She suggested a balyage and a bit of color for spring. Because of my fine hair, the color didn't take initially, but she did it again and it looks beautiful. You can tell that Samantha has an expertise that only comes from years of training and confidence. I would highly recommend seeing her, you will not be disappointed! read more

I've now had two cut and colors with Elle and could not be happier with the result. I knew I wanted a change but didn't really know what would be best for my hair. Elle walked me through the process with a consultation before I even booked my first appointment, and then used bayalage to make my hair get the naturally sun-kissed blonde tones it used to get when I was outside all day in the summer. She also gave me a great haircut. Elle is a perfectionist when it comes to her work and you can completely tell - she went above and beyond in making sure the haircut and color exactly matched what I hope for and met her high standards. I can't recommend Elle enough! read more

A friend of mine recommended Frankie after I told her I loved her haircut and was looking for someone who was hip but would actually listen and not just push their own style on me. I went into The Studeo yesterday with hair down to my back and told Frankie that I wanted to go pixie short and he did a fabulous job, not only with the haircut but also easing me through the process. He cut my hair in stages so that if I changed my mind I still had time to back out, but when I told him I really wanted it short he obliged and gave me an awesome cut. I've already gotten a ton of compliments and definitely recommend Frankie to anyone looking for a hip new style! read more

Absolutely the best! I've tried just about every salon in the DMV and had just about every hair disaster before I found Frankie. Now I'm constantly getting compliments on my hair, even the lady at the drive-thru kept complimenting me on how good my hair looks. My natural color is dark brown, almost black. Frankie is able to get it platinum blonde, looking like I was born that way. And the extensions...! The hair quality and the job is top notch. I had extensions before and thought they were ok... I didn't know what I was missing! Take it from someone who's tried the salons in this area, there are none like the Studeo and no better stylist than Frankie. read more

I've been going to Frankie for about 8 years now - and have done everything from hair extensions, hi-lights, balayage, full color and haircuts.

He does beautiful work, but equally as important, he takes the time to make sure my hair stays healthy through it all. I cannot recommend Frankie highly enough - he is a true talent. And to top it all off, he is kind and funny and really cares about his clients. Oh... and he would remind me he is handsome too! lol.

I used to see Jamie Bishop at Axis, so when she moved I was happy to move with her. I was a bit underwhelmed with the location (a tad crowded to accommodate Jamie and another former Axis stylist who are sharing a chair), but the service I received here was top-notch! Frankie and the other employees were so welcoming, and everyone was so talkative and friendly. I received my usual stellar service from Jamie - fantastic color and a chic new cut that completely changed up my look. I can't recommend her enough, and I really enjoyed interacting with everyone at the salon. I can't wait to see their new location in January! read more

I could think of several words to describe Frankie.....professional would be the last word I'd EVER think of using. Overpriced would be a compliment for the shoddy service he provides. Don't even get me started on his "holier than thou" attitude. I've never met someone who just has to find ways to be dramatic and nasty to people. I will NEVER give him or anyone who associates with him another dime of my money!!!!! The ONLY reason I'm even giving him one star is because I have to in order to leave a review. I think Yelp should give the option of leaving NEGATIVE stars. read more

He also cut and styled my hair in less than an hour, and my appointment took less than 2 hours total. I need to note this because I have REALLY thick hair - to the point that every single stylist I have visited in the past commented on how thick it is. I often had two people blow drying my hair at the same time due to its thickness and volume. A cut took at least an hour and half if I was lucky and I have spent hours and hours at salons because stylists just could not handle my hair. Needless to say, I would dread going to the salon because it would be a whole-day ordeal. I've went to Korean salons, super posh NYC salons, and other swanky DC salons, but they were all the same! But Jeff understood and knew exactly how to handle my hair. I was in awe the whole time with the speed with which he was blow drying big sections. He was also very professional and did not at all make me feel bad about the thickness of my hair (which happened more often than not at other salons). I cannot recommend Jeff enough. I still cannot believe I have the whole day free now to do other things!

After a series of bad haircuts, I stumbled on this place after a stylist reached out on social media. Coincidentally I was moving to DC so was I in luck! My stylist was Cherise, who is SO talented at what she does, and just super cool overall. She gave me a beautiful haircut that I had dreamed of having for months. She asked a lot of questions to best understand my needs and really listened in the consultation. She delivered!!! I feel so confident! It was such a relief to feel trusting of a stylist, and we had such a great chat the whole appointment, really lifted my spirits. I will absolutely be back! Thank you so much for offering a great experience.

Thankfully, Elena pulled through. She walked me through what she was doing, was transparent about price, and only cut what was necessary.

If found that a lot of DC stylist do curly hair but cut it blown out or don't do their best work when you wear your hair natural most of the time but I know I'll be able to wear my hair how I like in a shape that's cute and fun because of how she cut it.

I booked with Michael and, when work meetings ran over, called to explain I was running late and specifically asked whether I should still come. I was told yes. No one told me that my services or pricing would change. When I arrived, I was told I could only receive a basic haircut and a few face framing highlights, a small fraction of what I had originally booked. I said that was fine, but asked what it would cost. I received roundabout answers and had to ask three separate times before finally being told I would be charged $417, the price of my original, much more extensive service. I left without receiving any service and was charged $417. But the most upsetting part was how unkind the experience was. I work a demanding job in DC and was trying to handle the situation responsibly. I called ahead, explained what happened, asked what I should do, and followed their direction to come in. Anyone working in this city knows that meetings run over. I was not asking them to ignore their policies. I was asking for basic communication and consideration. Instead, I felt like I had to repeatedly push just to get a straight answer about what I was being charged. That lack of transparency, and especially the lack of kindness, was incredibly disappointing. There are plenty of professional, transparent, and genuinely considerate salons in DC. I will be going elsewhere.

It's clear this is gold (meant ti be closer to my own grey- a pretty silver/grey hue) but she refused to admit that she fell well short of that. After a long discussion on options, refunded me a sliver, so instead of 600, I paid 300 for a trim, color error, and blowout. That's extremely expensive for that style. Then had to pay another 3 to have someone more skilled fix it. Showed her the repair, so she understood what I'd been looking for, and she was rude and condescending about it. Just sharing my experience to save someone else the embarrassment and stress I experienced. I skipped my cousin's wedding, and walked around with a hat for two weeks, because I was too mortified to show up like this.
