Great Atmosphere, Friendly Environment

by AmberJax

Being new to the area, I stumbled upon this place, so in dire need of hair service (cut and color) I decided to give them a call to see if I could get worked in. The receptionist was able to fit me in asap. I arrived a little late because I got a little lost, and as soon as I arrived, the staff was amazingly friendly and my hair dresser "Andrea" took me right back. She had great conversational skills and it felt like she had been my hair dresser forever. The owner is extremely bubbly and made me feel right at home. My initial call was for a cut, be she squeezed me in for color as well. I am one who is very particular with my hair and color and Andrea did a GREAT JOB!! I don't think I gave her enough credit. Thank you Andrea!!! Not to mention that on your first visit you get a discount of 20%. Tell me that not great!! I advise anyone to stop by and check it out!!!

• Pros: Great Customer Service
• Cons: None

Best Salon in the area

by pink_floyd

I went to Studio 180 after reading reviews on Citysearch. I have been to several "top" salons in the past. I have to admit I was apprehensive about getting my hair done at a place that I was not too familiar with. I can honestly say this is the best color and cut that I have had in years. Andrea did a fantastic job with the color, cut and style. MANY people remarked at how beautiful it looked. I will definitely be coming back again.... SOON!!

• Pros: Reasonable price, nice people, great color, cut and style
• Cons: none

Very Nice people, but where's the style?

by Jelly8bean

I'm growing out my hair and I went to this salon based on the excellent reviews. Not sure if I will go back, because I asked to have my hair styled in a manner that I could reproduce and somehow I didn't get anything. I walked in with close to what was produced, so there was nothing offered on the styling front. I liked them and they were very nice, but I wanted some style to do for my hair and didn't get even a suggestion. It was a big let down for me.

• Pros: Very nice folks,
• Cons: no styling suggestions

Sorry to hear that we didn't meet your expectations-all off us are quite comfortable offering advice on different styles, and have plenty of training and creativity. I'm sure that whichever stylist did you hair erred on the side of caution, since you said you were growing it out. Sometimes, If a client doesn't know what they want, except that they want it to grow, the best thing to do is conservatively trim their hair. Please call the studio to discuss what we can do for you next time- I hope you will come back and give us another try- we just want to make you feel and look your best.

This is the best color and cut I have had since I moved to the area. Service was on time, professional, and very skillful. Anna listened to what I wanted and consulted me about base color and highlights. She is friendly and personable. My hair looks awesome. Thanks so much, Anna. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Prompt and Flexible

by LastMinute

Over Thanksgiving break when everyone is so busy or out of town, I desperately needed a hair appt. One of my co-workers goes to Studio 180 and highly recommended it. So, I tried it. I left a message and within 20 minutes received a return phone call. Fortunately, the stylist was able to work me in the same day! She did a fantastic job, understood exactly what I wanted to do with my hair and I felt relieved. Everyone was really personable and I got 20% off since it was my first visit. I would definitely go back.

Simply The Best!

by glamgalnc

I've been a faithful client of Studio 180 since its inception. My hair has been every length, color and style imaginable. I've had perms, foils, razor cuts... I've tried just about everything and the Studio 180 staff are the only stylists I've ever trusted enough to do it. No matter what color I changed to, my hair has never been damaged. The stylists at Studio 180 also give excellent advice on hair care and carry a stellar line of products that are definitely worth trying.

When I first came to Studio 180, they had to fix the work of a variety of stylists and colorists. No matter what you've done to your hair, they will know how to fix it... the healthy way.

I'm a local model and vocalist, so my appearance is very important. I've also been a highlighted blonde for several years and receive compliments daily on my cut and color. Studio 180 uses the highest quality color products available. They are also on the cutting edge of the latest techniques and processes because continuing education is a top priority. If you're considering having something new and different done to your hair, the staff will explain every option in detail for you. They want you to be completely comfortable when making a big change.

I don't go three days without someone asking "Who does your hair?" and "Can I get her number?"

In fact, my mother's best friend just asked me yesterday.

They say Cinderella's life was changed by one shoe.

I say a life can be changed with the right hairdo.

• Pros: Knowledgeable Staff, Quality Products, Skilled Stylists, Continuing Education
• Cons: None!

Blondes... STAY AWAY!

by cantthinkofaname6

My initial reaction is that the place was great! I had a late appointment, so I was the only one there, but everyone was really friendly and made me feel welcome. Unfortunately, it all went down hill from there. I have long blond hair, and I went in to get a full foil done to brighten the blond and get a haircut. Normally, I would only go to a trusted stylist, but I just moved to the area and the reviews seemed pretty strong. First of all, putting the actual foils in took literally over 2 hours. I understand this takes a long time, but that amount of time is a little outrageous. To make things worse, when the foils came off, the color of my hair was not blond, but copper! I am talking like the color of a penny copper! The stylist seemed surprised that I hated it, too! So, she put me back in the chair and covered my head in some purple goop to make it "less bronze" and it still was hideous! Now about 9:45 at night, the stylist had to call in the salon manager to come in and fix the mess she created! Another layer of God knows what was put on my hair, and it still looked terrible. At that point, it was about 10:30 or 11:00 at night and I just pretended to like it so I could get the heck outa there! I went in for a color and cut, but there was no way I would let that stylist come near me with a pair of scissors after the disaster of a color treatment I got! It's been awhile since this happened and I STILL cannot get the ugly color out of my hair unless I chop it all off! To make things worse, I was still charged for everything. I felt obligated to pay for it becuase the poor stylist had to stay so late. She said she would keep a new color forumla in my file so it wouldn't happen next time. Next time? YEAH RIGHT! I will never... and I mean never go back to that place again.

• Pros: Nice Atmosphere, Friendly staff
• Cons: Terrible color, inexperienced staff

We sincerely apologize for the experience that you had here at Studio 180 Salon- it seems that the stylist who colored your hair didn't understand the type of blond you wanted- she used a gold base color on your hair, causing the "copper" effect. The toner was used to soften the gold, but using an ash based color the first time would have worked best. She really is a good hairdresser, with many blond clients who would never go to anyone else. We are all about making our clients look and feel great, so it's disappointing to hear that someone left here unhappy. Once again, we apologize, and if there is anything we can do to correct the situation, please let us know.

AWESOME SALON!!

by knfries

I went to Studio 180 Salon yesterday and had THE BEST experience. I had my hair cut and thermally straightened by Francesca. She did an amazing job, I could not be happier. I went in with long, unruly curly hair and left with a fantastic chin length cut and sleek, shiny straight hair. I never thought my hair could look so good. The salon is really cute and all the stylists are so friendly. My service took a long time because of the straightening process and I felt like I was just hanging out with friends. I called a ton of salons in the area asking about the thermal process and found myself most comfortable with the response from Studio 180. I am so glad I decided to go there. I would & will recommend this salon to anyone. They really know thier stuff and are just nice people to be around. Great job! Thank you so much!

• Pros: Excellent service, friendly people, I can't say enough...
• Cons: None!

Amazing Salon, Loved Everything About It!

by fezirebell

This was my first time at Studio 180 and I will definitely be returning. I have had the worst luck trying to find a good stylist that I get along with, trust and can afford, but my luck's finally changed. I was warmly greeted upon arriving, then met with Andrea to discuss my hair color and the look I was going for. She knew exactly what I wanted, and made me feel completely comfortable letting her color my hair. The results were fantastic! Also, the feel of a small privately owned salon made me feel more relaxed rather than the ones with 20+ stylists who don't really care they just want you in and out. I really can't say enough great things about this salon, I have definitely found a new home for my hair.

• Pros: very talented stylists, great environment!
• Cons: none!
