The Studio

I LOVE Brogan! I am very particular about how I like my hair cut. I had same stylist for 7 years before I went here and I was very skeptical of changing. Brogan is so friendly and does an absolutely fantastic job! I have Asian hair, which a lot of people don’t know how to cut it, but she’s does a phenomenal job! Brogan is awesome!

2^nd update: I wanted to like this place, I really did. I gave them several chances. I called in to cancel since I had a terrible cold. I was told if I did I would be charged half the service because it was less than 24 hours. So, I went in. The cut I have looks like Mamie Eisenhower. The bangs are straight across and look awful. It will take months to a year to correct this. I canceled my future appointment. I’m not going back again.
Update: After going directly to the salon to complain, Judy fixed the issue with my hair and gave me a cute cut. She’s nice and it looked good when I left. However, after I washed it, it was horrible to deal with, just like the other cut. I discovered serious choppiness to it. I guess I’m going to have to wait six months and get it long enough for a decent cut and find someone else.
First review: Unfortunately, the stylist I had didn’t really listen to me or pay attention to the pictures I showed her. The «style» she gave me looked good when at the shop but when I tried to style it, it was an impossible mop.
When I called to complain they wanted to rebook me with her. I said I didn’t want to give her another chance so they tried to book me with a level 1 stylist. The original was a level 5. How can 1 be better?

Very professional-​looking and staff seems well trained. I have been there 3 times and many other times with friends while they get their hair cuts. We feel very dissatisfied with their services. They don’t take the time to really talk to you first, and each time I’ve had to wait at least 20 minutes before I can go back. And the stylists have done more of what they wanted rather than what I had asked for. I would’ve understood if they had communicated they thought something else would be better, but it was more of a surprise. Once when I was getting my hair dyed under the chair, the woman just completely forgot about me — I had to ask another staff member when my timer ran out to go snag her and she returned about 5 minutes after that coming from the break room and chatting with employees.
I love the pureology products and the look/​feel of the salon, but their staff needs a wake up call. It is extremely overpriced for a teaching salon and I have asked for a price estimate prior to going, being tight on cash, and the inexpensive trim I was hoping for turned out to be $ 50, not including tip.
I have had multiple stylists and would not recommend anyone going to them. Steer clear and be warned!

My hair looked great when I left but by the end of the day I realized how dead, brittle and damaged it was. My hair was always healthy but after going in for an ombré and haircut, it was DEAD. It’s also an ugly brassy color. I spent $ 130 for being sitting around for 4 hours in silence. My hairstylist (a level 1) did not attempt to make conversation with me. I’m so disappointed.

Great place. Friendly, relaxing, and professional, The Studio is the best place to go. l was raised in NY and thought l’d never find a place that was equal to the salons for being up on the techniques and new styles you find there. Judy works extremely hard to make sure all there are on the know for what’s going by having continual on going training for her crew. l’ve been going here for a number of years and my hair has never been healthier. While Valeria is my stylist, and is one of the best ever, l also go there regularly for conditionings from level 1 stylists. l’ve also used their spa area and they are great, Ashley is extremely knowledgeable about skin and what you need, she gives an excellent facial. Lu’s massages are to die for! l love that the mani/​pedi folks don’t do acrylic as l can’t stand the smell you have in other places. The crew that runs the front desk are great! When you enter, they are fast to get you checked in, when you cash out they are accurate and ensure you are happy with the service you received. Prices are very reasonable, there’s always various specials going on, and l won’t even think of going to anyplace but The Salon. Not only am l a loyal customer, but my daughters, who live in Raleigh, schedule all their hair care with The Salon.

This place just has a good energy. I love the sliding scale depending on the experience level of the stylist. I see Sarah Bradley, and she did a great job cutting my hair (and leaving my uneven, choppy layers alone), and then I went back and had her color my hair. It has never looked healthier and shinier. I have also seen Khanda for eyebrow threading, and that was excellent too. From my experience they listened to what I wanted and have delivered every time. I even made an appointment for a blow out for my mom when she was here, and they did a great job, and she left very happy as well. I will continue to go here!

The stylists here are so nice and they make you feel very welcomed and comfortable! But most importantly they did an awesome job on my hair. I went to a different place before and they did a hack job on my hair and the highlights looked terrible! however my stylist here at the studio did an amazing job and fixed it! I am definitely coming back here again.

I never leave bad reviews, but I jus gave then another chance today and same issue. I stopped going here for a couple of reasons: $ 250 highlights with no discussion of price (partial); 3 hours every time; and while getting a massage having to listen to the owner in the other room scream at employees. I said enough and found a better salon right down the road who is more more consistent in time/​price.
Today I just needed a blow out for the day, and was charged $ 40($ 30 + tip because I’m nice) for something I could have done at home myself. It was a level 1 stylist so she said «trust me» and I did. I specifically said I do not like lots of curls, and I normally wear straight with curled under at end. When she finished I looked like a 1980s reject, but she knew I was unhappy and toned it down. now I have to redo it for wedding.
Do not believe the best in the valley hype. There are other great salons in the burg that do not charge as much, listen to their clients, and have better service.

I recently moved to the area and was in need of a new stylist. I tried The Studio based upon the suggestion of some others. I’m sure glad I did! As soon as I walked through the front door, I was greeted immediately with a friendly smile. Then, I took a seat in the lobby area until my stylist, Sarah, came to get me. I only waited in the lobby for less than 5 minutes from the time I checked in at the front desk. Sarah was friendly, nice, and a great stylist! She asked me how I wanted her to cut and style my hair, and she also offered a lot of helpful suggestions. Overall, it was a great experience! I’m looking forward to my next appointment!

Went in for the first time yesterday and hit some bumps in the road but they way more than made up for it. Still love my home salon and stylist at Tangles but if next time I need to get my hair done and they’re booked; The Studio might become a permanent salon for me.
I arrived at 2pm when my appointment was with Valeria. They had accidentally cancelled my appointment but offered to squeeze me in if I waited a bit. Waited about 45 minutes then got in the chair. Valeria was awesome! Got highlights put in and sat in the processing area while she did another hair cut. Got shampooed by someone else and got a conditioning treatment for free. Then Valeria cut and blow dried my hair. My hair feels amazing after the treatment, the cut is perfect, and the color is good as well. Already have an appointment scheduled for July with her and my friend is having us get out hair done there for her wedding in August.
Really impressed with the atmosphere. Very large studio with lots of stylists. Very busy though. All the areas seemed cleaned, products displayed nicely, and all the staff was pleasant. Valeria was a bit expensive because she is a level 3 but worth the price.

Had a fabulous facial with Jennah. My only complaint is that none of their products are price marked. I like to know before I head to the register
the price and don’t feel like repeating «How much is this?»

I cannot say enough GREAT things about this place! I was visiting Harrisonburg from Northern Virginia and I had that «I have to get my hair cut and nails done NOW» feeling. I called and they had an appointment available for both for that evening. First, the gel manicure: the person who did my nails was Diane. She was fabulous and friendly. My manicure lasted 3.5 weeks… seriously! I get gel manicures fairly often in NOVA and I’ve only had one last 3 weeks. Diane’s manicure looked great for the entire time! Then, off to Miriam for cut, style and color. Miriam was an incredibly friendly and happy young woman. My cut and color was excellent and still looks great 5 weeks later. And, it was incredibly reasonably priced. If you look on the website, it gives different levels of stylists and what the rates are. Miriam has been there a couple of years and she was a «level 2» stylist and colorist. Well, I thought she was fabulous! I’ve paid twice the price in NOVA and gotten half the result! Additionally, it seems like everyone who works at The Studio is really happy to be there. The owner walks around and talks to everyone — it’s obvious that she really cares about her employees. Honestly, I’m going to need another cut in a couple of weeks and I’m actually considering driving the 2 hours to Harrisonburg!

Jennah is hands down one of the best estheticians in town! Her facials are the best and she really knows how to professionally evaluate your skin and give it exactly what it needs. I have adult acne due and since seeing her my skin has completely cleared.

This is hands-​down the best hair salon I have ever been to. I live in Baltimore, MD now, and I make an appointment every 4 months and make the 3 hour drive back to VA to go get my haircut by Krystyne. She is the absolute best stylist I have ever had, and I get tons of compliments on my hair every time. The prices are reasonable, they are efficient time-​wise, and they are super nice. I would highly recommend this hair salon to everyone!

Visiting from NJ, woke up one day and thought «I must get my hair cut TODAY». Note: I don’t like getting my haircut after WAY too many bad ones. Read the Unilocal reviews and took a chance. Jimmy cut my hair (and it was a mess). Did a great job, respected my wishes and didn’t try to talk me into anything. I can’t drive 5 hours from NJ to get my haircut, but if I lived nearby I would be a devotee.

These 5 stars go out to Marlo (sp?). I had my hair cut by another stylist within The Studio and although they were clearly pleasant and talented, the cut didn’t work for me even after it was touched up and tweaked in a following appointment. I called back one last time in hopes that my daring, very short hair could be saved and that’s exactly what Marlo did.
She took the time to ask me lots of questions and she really understood what would look best on me and fit my personality. In conversation, she was relatable and kind and did a fantastic job on my hair. I have never left a haircut appointment feeling great about the result until this point!
Be sure to mention what kind of hair you have and what kind of style you’re looking for, and ask the receptionist to recommend a proven-​great stylist based on those things. I wish I had gone to Marlo the first time!

I highly recommend Kristine! It’s nice to tell a hair stylist to surprise you and get a great result every time. The staff is very polite and highly professional. I can’t speak to getting a pedicure or manicure (because I’m a guy) but this is definitely the place for a hair cut!
