What a hidden gem The Studio is! The salon is right in the center of it all on Elm St in Manch, but I had never been in that particular building before, so it was such a treat to see how gorgeous it is inside! The Studio salon is right on the first floor and very easy to find. When I first walked into The Studio I was greeted by one of the hairstylists, who had a smile on her face and made me feel very welcome. She asked if I wanted coffee or something else to drink, which I thought was such a nice touch. The salon itself is beautiful and pristine, which also impressed me. I was early, so my hairstylist Alex Laverriere was just finishing up with another client. However, I didn't have to wait long before Alex came over and greeted me warmly. She also asked if I wanted something to drink and then made me a delicious wine spritzer with fresh strawberries in it! Just what I needed!! As a working mom with two kids, that kind of special treatment can be rare for me, so I was so appreciative of it! But isn't it to get that kind of pampering (as well as to look gorgeous!) why we women go to a salon in the first place? It is for me, anyway! I immediately felt comfortable with Alex--not just because of the yummy beverage either!--but because she's a genuinely nice person. I could tell she truly loves what she does and wants to make sure her clients are happy. I really appreciated how she listened to what I wanted, but I also liked that she offered suggestions and some expert advice regarding products, styling techniques to use, etc. So while I was definitely impressed with the welcoming (yet SO stylish and classy!) atmosphere, I was MOST impressed with Alex's attention to detail and genuine talent. She did such a fabulous job on every single thing--from coloring my hair to cutting and styling it to even waxing my eyebrows. I told her it was the best experience I'd ever had at a salon! Another cool thing was that she took a "before" and "after" pic, so I could really see the difference from when I came in to when I left. Woah!!! Granted, I hadn't had my hair cut and colored in awhile, so the difference was pretty startling, but that also meant Alex had quite a job to do fixing my mess of hair! So the fact that I left looking and feeling beautiful meant she was phenomenal! Overall, I would highly recommend The Studio and would definitely recommend seeing Alex Laverriere! In fact, I have an appointment with her this upcoming weekend. Can't wait! read more

I don't know where to begin, I have been going to The Studio On Elm for some time now. When I went for the very first time I didn't know what to expect, well here I am over a year later. The entire staff is AMAZING!!!!! I always feel welcomed when I am there. They are ALWAYS updating the salon as if it was not already cute, full of energy, and one of most friendliest salons I have been to. Tia is absolutely the best, she will always accommodate my schedule, sees me last minute when I need her in a pinch. I book my appointments a year out just to be sure I am able to work with Tia. The entire staff is wonderful and I would not doubt they would be as fantastic as Tia if she was not available. They have the most amazing hair products and Tia always makes sure I have the right products for my every hair care need. I have never, never left there disappointed, when I leave there I feel like a million dollars. I can not imagine going any where else, the attention, care, laughter, and love I feel when I go there is indescribable. The Studio On Elm is the only place to go, no other salons have given the satisfaction that I have received from The Studio On Elm. read more

I'm not sure where to start so I guess I'll start like this. I've known Dawna, Holly, & Tia for a very, very long time & then of course, Carly, who joined this amazing group! I followed them to The Studio on Elm and they have all worked on my hair all the way from a trim to foils to balayage to keratin treatments, you name it, they've done it! And then with the addition of Amanda and not one but the two Alex's, this is the perfect combination of talented women I have come to trust to work on my hair. They listen, they advise & they do their job & do it well. They are well-educated, up to date, charismatic, fun & give each & every client their undivided attention! They are each unique in their own way & have the best personalities you could find in a group of young women. I love them all. If you've never tried The Studio on Elm, please do. You will not be disappointed. You'll never want to go anywhere ever again! Why would you? Afterall, you've found the best! read more

I went to the Studio On Elm for the first time last week to get a cut and color in preparation for my wedding in July. I had ideas for what I wanted and was able to easily communicate that to my hairdresser, Alex Spacone. She was extremely helpful in deciding what would be best and took her time in explaining exactly what she could do in my price range. She was upfront about how what I wanted may take a couple of appointments to achieve, which not every hairdresser explains. We decided on doing a bayalage and cutting a few inches off. It came out exactly how I wanted it to! Every employee there was welcoming and friendly. The salon was comfortable and relaxing. She took her time styling it after and made sure I was 100% satisfied with it. I absolutely plan to book there again and look forward to seeing Alex again to make my hair perfect for my wedding! I absolutely recommend booking at The Studio on Elm! read more

I recently moved from MA and have been on the hunt for a good hair salon that I feel comfortable with. It's so hard to trust someone who will do a good job. Luckily, I found Alex Spacone and I am NEVER leaving her side. The Studio on Elm was incredibly clean, comfortable and modern. I walked right in and was greeted by Alex immediately. We had previously talked about what I wanted to do with my hair, what I envisioned and she absolutely nailed it. Alex is incredibly easy to talk to, she is an absolute professional and has incredible talent at what she does. She's passionate about what she does and that comes through with her work. I would recommend Alex Spacone and all of the lovely ladies at The Studio on Elm to anyone who is in need of a new hair salon and stylist. I can't imagine going anywhere else after this! I am so incredibly happy with my results and the services provided. read more

I have been seeing 4 of the stylists at The Studio On Elm since 1997. Started with Dawna the owner, Holly, Tia, and Carly. I know whenever I call, even if its last minute they do their best to get me and my daughter in as soon as possible. I have had most of the services they offer - Cut, color, shampoo, and Eyebrow wax. Never is 21 years have I ever left there unhappy with their work. The entire staff treats you like they are personally your stylist. Always smiling, always respectful and generous. My happiest days are just sitting there getting my hair done. The staff talks to each other, and they are extremely supportive of each other. They are truly a family within their business. Myself, my daughter, my sister, as well as my niece go here. Its a fun, as well as a professional environment. I would and have recommend The Studio on Elm to everyone! -Rachel read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Studio On Elm! Carly does an amazing job with both my cut and color, she listens to what I want and consistently exceeds my expectations. Each time I get my hair done I leave feeling confident and beautiful. I also leave feeling relaxed. The environment at The Studio On Elm is incredibly positive and a few hours there chatting with the friendly stylists leaves me feeling rejuvenated. The Studio On Elm is not just great for adults, but kids as well. Both Carly and Alex L. have cut and styled my girls' hair with care, attention to detail and lots of patience leaving them feeling special after each visit. If you're looking for a positive hair experience with friendly professional stylists who have a passion for their work, look no further, the Studio On Elm is for you! read more

I have been to The Studio On Elm twice now and I love it! My mom, sister, and I have been seeing Alex for years now and we followed her to this salon. It's always a little scary going to a new place for hair but we love Alex so much and we all ended up loving The Studio on Elm! It's such a fun environment; it's a small salon with a very good vibe, super comfortable, and they do little photoshoots of your new hair afterwards! I definitely recommend Alex as a hair stylist, we've trusted her with our hair for years and she's incredible! (Although I'm sure all the girls are!) She really listens to what you want and always does a perfect job. We leave happy every time. It's always a great experience and I'm always excited to go back for my balayage!!! read more

I had Dawna as my hairstylist since I was a child. I moved to Connecticut and couldn't find a hairstylist that matched her precision + care. I would wait to come back to visit NH + make sure to schedule an appointment with her just because absolutely no one compares to her quality of work. I recently had my hair colored by Alex. I'm pretty untrusting when it comes to hiring a new stylist, but I trust Dawna + the people she believes in. Alex took the time to truly understand what I wanted + made sure to tell me what was realistic, and the steps I'd need to take to achieve the look I want. She's SO down to earth, and we had wonderful conversation while she did my hair. Truly a great experience from the moment you walk in the door! read more

I started seeing Holly several years ago when she was at a different salon. When I found out she was leaving and going to a new salon there was no doubt in my mind I would follow her to this new place! I'm so glad I did not only to continue seeing Holly but because the studio is such a fun, fresh, trendy environment! All the girls are great and I would trust any of them with my hair! I've seen a couple of the other girls for blowouts and everyone is super friendly! I love that they're always taking "classes" and learning new techniques etc, it always feels like they are ahead of every other salon out there. I can't imagine going anywhere else! read more

I just moved to NH and was nervous about finding a new hairdresser. I randomly made an appointment online with Alex Laverriere and she did not disappoint! Alex revitalized my blonde hair with some amazing highlights and I walked away feeling great. I love that there is a parking garage next to the building. It's perfect for cold winter days. I also love that you can make an appointment online using their website. Thank you ladies for making me feel comfortable when I had to pump midway through my appointment. It's not easy being a new mama so thank you for giving me one less thing to worry about! read more

I highly recommend the Studio on Elm! Dawna was my hairdresser at a previous salon, and I loved the job she did on my haircuts and highlights so much that when she opened her own studio I followed her there! I'm so glad I did. I have since seen other stylists there, most recently Alex Laverriere, and have been similarly pleased! This has not been the case at several other studios I have been to in the past. The stylists are kind, professional, and competent. Plus, the prices vary depending on the experience of the stylists, so you can tailor your visit to your budget. Check it out! read more

I have never been more excited to have my hair done! The Studio on Elm and their staff is absolutely amazing! It had such a welcoming environment and Alex, my hairdresser did a PHENOMENAL job. She always explained what she was doing to my hair and why, recommend hair products that have changed my life, and she really listened to what I wanted done. I feel so confident because I finally have pretty hair again! I have never had an experience like this. I cannot wait to go back and get my hair done! I am recommending this place to all of my friends and family! read more

What a transformation! I decided to take it upon my self to dye my hair blue on my own... what a mistake! But the studio saved me and got my hair to perfection! Don't get me wrong it took a few visits to get that blue green tone out of my hair for good, but the first pic is where I stated and the last is the end result. I've seen everyone here at some point or another over the last few years and they all do an amazing job! Also great location right down town, and the garage makes it's super easy to get in there with out having to go outside! read more

After having the same hairdresser for a long time I was nervous to try somewhere new. My best friend started going to Carly and recommended her to me. I am sooooo so happy she did. Carly and the entire salon are amazing! The atmosphere is so calming and relaxing. Carly is literally a miracle worker when it comes to hair. She has taken my hair from a brassy blonde to the exact point Ive been wanting. Not to mention she is super nice and just overall amazing. I would recommend Carly and any of the hair stylist at Studio on Elm to anyone! read more

I have had a few unsettling salon experiences so I was hesitate to give The Studio a try. After getting just one service, I knew this was going to be my go-to salon. They take everything you ask for into consideration and make your time spent there as comfortable as possible. I will recommend this salon to anyone and everyone, because they deserve to have a great salon to count on. I had just gotten a balayage done by Carly and I absolutely LOVE it!! Thank you to Carly and rest of the team for being the best of the best. : ) read more

Studio on Elm I moved back to the area and was in need of a great new salon! Quality salons are hard to find these days which I've learned the hard way over the years. I was long overdue for a cut and color (about 14 months) and a friend recommended Studio on Elm. I made my first appointment 3 months ago and i'll be back there tomorrow for my 2nd:) The color was amazing and still looks great 3 months later. That is a tough thing to make happen for us blondes. I'd trust the studio on elm (Carly!) with my hair any day:) read more

The staff here is so nice. I would highly recommend any of their stylists. I had Carly and have worked with Carly on a couple projects now and she is always more than willing to do whatever I want. Carly is a great resource to have as a professional, as well as her hair stylist. She was extremely patient while I was indecisive with what I wanted to do with my hair. (And provided recommendations with what she's seen before) But ALL of their staff is equally as friendly and I'd highly recommend! read more

I have been going to The Studio on Elm since May of 2018, and I haven't had a second thought about changing salons. I highly recommend seeing any of the stylist there, they are all so amazing and skilled in what they do. If you are looking to get the hair color you have always wished for and no salon has met those desires, The Studio on Elm is where its at, and I can promise you that you will not be treated like a stranger- it is a start of a long relationship with the best hair stylist around! read more
