Studio 101

My husband and my two toddler sons got their hair cut here last weekend. They all left looking amazing. It was my 3 year olds first short hair cut so I let them do my youngest and my husband first to see the results. They were great. I usually hate his haircuts but they understood exactly what we wanted. They made us so comfortable and let my sons eat our take out from the grange while they waited even giving us real plates and silverware. They were so sweet to my sons which made for better haircuts as they sat still for the stylists. They also were not angry when they pranced about the salon after their cuts. This is definitely our new spot. Next I have to try it for myself as I just got a bad dye job down the street

I was in about 2 years for a cut with a stylist I picked because of the amazing reviews here on Unilocal.While it wasn’t exactly a bad experience this place does not live up to the hype, especially considering how expensive it is. I left feeling only OK about my haircut but more than a little put off by the hard sell on products at checkout. The interior is beautiful and the staff was pleasant enough but I think you are largely paying for the instagramable interior.

Kristen is amazing! You can give her a general idea and it comes out beyond fantastic, or you can give her something specific and she gives you exactly what you want. I always want low maintenance hair and she’s never tried to talk me out if it, she listens to me which not every stylist has done in the past. She works with me and it’s always fabulous! I drive in from another state just to see her and it is completely worth it.

Taylor is wonderful! Everyone loves the feeling of leaving the salon rocking mega shine/​volume/​color, whatever… but a few days later you’re wishing it looked like the day you had it done, well Taylor seems legitimately interested in not just giving you hair you’ll love but teaching you how to love it everyday! Every time I go, I leave with tid bits of knowledge so I can style my hair myself. Not to mention the salon itself is gorgeous and the staff is very friendly!

This is a truly professional studio! A rare find! I had been trekking to Manhattan to my old salon of many years as I could find nothing comparable to Oscar Blondi locally. Kristin at 101 is epic. She manages to make my hair look fabulous even as we consult! Then she works magic on the actual color and cut. Kristen listens well and she knows her craft which is a perfect pairing for success every visit. Kristin is always consistent so I know I will walk out happy. A bonus is her ability to introduce change. I have a consistent look but Kristin mixes things up with nuanced color, highlight or cut changes that keep things fresh. So we move with moods and seasons. Outstanding! Most recently Kristin managed to prepare my hair for a 2 month european adventure. Week 7 was important business in Tuscany and my hair still looked amazing, both cut and color! Unbelievable but true!
The staff at 101 is precise, appointments are on time and there is a culture of anticipating clients’ needs and of meeting them. This is a must try studio!

Taylor is the best. Beautiful studio, great staff, good price. This place is a keeper!

I saw Lori at Studio 101. She was great. Took her time and really made sure we worked together to help my hair look its best and to repair previous color damage from a former salon that shall remain nameless! Lori is the best.

I drove down from western mass just to have Katie do my hair. I had gone to other places and have not been happy. But I can honestly say I left with a smile on my face! This girl is so talented and most definitely worth the hour and a half drive.

I came in here looking for an ombré kind of hairstyle. I’m so lucky and happy they were able to accommodate me in such a short amount of time. my hairdresser was Taylor, and she was so sweet and the three or four hour process went by really quickly because of her. When she was finished with my hair, I really really loved it. Now this isn’t her fault but, a week passed and I absolutely hated my hair. I feel like to maintain an ombré, you have to always use heating tools and I’m not one to use those on my hair especially knowing the damage that it can cause… So basically I paid $ 300, hated it after a week… and bought a box of black hair dye for $ 8 and I feel a lot better. Lol
Not Taylor’s fault. The ombré did come out beautiful, but for it to look beautiful all the time I would have to, like I said, use a curler or blow dry my hair all the time and I’m just too lazy and afraid of my hair getting damaged for that.

I had an impromptu wash and blow dry here before an evening out. My stylist was Lori. She was pleasant and able. The results fabulous. The products she used were highest quality-​she umera. Highly recommended!

I got a fabulous haircut from Taylor. She did a really thorough job and styled it beautifully. The place is very cute and played great music. The staff were all so nice, and since I’m from out of town, they gave me recommendations of great bars and such in the area. I told Taylor I had found their salon on Unilocal,but had never given back to the Unilocal community, so here it is! Go see Taylor. She rocks and has some really cool tattoos.

This place is fantastic. Super friendly staff and Taylor gave me the BEST haircut I have ever had. Seriously. The best. I’ve bounced around from salon to salon for the past seven years and have never been very happy with any of them. I’m so happy to have finally found a great place right in downtown. I hated the way that my hair had been highlighted previously at another salon. Taylor knew just how to fix it AND how to give me the perfect cut and even explained how to blow dry my hair at home correctly. Be warned… it’s not cheap, but it’s well worth it. After walking out of that salon yesterday, I feel like a million bucks.

So excited to find this little gem nestled in downtown Providence. We live in Dallas and were in Scottsdale, AZ for many years! IWe travel for my Husband’s job so we aren’t familiar with Rhode Island. I Unilocaled my little heart out and decided on Studio 101. I needed a blow out and eventually soon need a touch up on my color! Senior stylist, Kristen, did my blow out and did an exceptional job. She knew exactly what she was talking about when we spoke about color. I’m always a skeptic when it comes to new towns and new hair stylists. Turns out her and my stylist from Scottsdale knew each other and had met in a Loreal professional class! Definitely, meant to be! Will post pics of new hair color next week! But for now, blow out was awesome!

Our entire family gets their locks styled at Studio 101. Steve does my husband and son’s hair and Taylor is patient enough to cut my 4 year old daughter’s hair. That is a special talent right there. I opt for blow-​outs pretty often and they are always great about squeezing me in. All of the staff is welcoming and the atmosphere is relazing and upscale. I would recomment it to anyone!

I highly recommend getting a cut & color with Kristen. She is truely an amazing stylist! She cut and colored my hair and I felt like a celebrity after leaving the salon.

I’ve been pretty inactive on Unilocal recently… but I really, really want Studio 101 to stick around, so I feel compelled to write! I’ll keep it brief:
— Taylor has now given me 3 FANTASTIC haircuts. I have super-​thick, wavy, shoulder-​length hair that I typically blow-​dry straight, and her layering process takes the weight out without making me look like Carol Brady.
— Lovely ambiance and great customer service. I am always offered a drink when I arrive. Yesterday I had just sloshed through 5 minutes of ice puddles and my boots had soaked through, and the person at the front very kindly offered to put them next to the space heater for the duration of my haircut. Awesome.
— Positive interpersonal vibes from the group of staff.
— I have never had to wait — always ready when I arrive.
That’s all she wrote. I wrote.

Taylor is the only person I trust with my hair. She has been my stylist for years and I’d rather go without than go to someone else. In fact, i drive almost two hours just to tap her talents. She gives great feedback, honest opinions, and takes time to make sure the cut is just right. She’s also way into cats so we have that to chat about. Book with Taylor!

Thanks to Unilocal,I was able to find Studio 101 and get an appointment just in time for a wedding. Being an out of towner, I was leery of letting a stranger cut my hair but needed it so badly it was worth the risk.
How lucky I was! The folks at Studio 101 are incredibly welcoming, and I could tell this was a thoughtfully designed place. It is a warm atmosphere with wood floors, chandeliers, and floor to ceiling mirrors.
Taylor took time to discuss what I wanted and talk through what would work. She was able to create the perfect side-​swept bang and even explained to me techniques for styling. I appreciated her attention and care, which she might not have had much incentive to do given that I can’t be a regular customer.
This is a great place and I don’t know what the going rate for a cut is in Providence, but at $ 55 this would be an absolute steal in LA. Take advantage!

Can’t help but concur with previous reviews, Studio 101 did not disappoint. Gorgeous loft perfectly appointed. Prompt service although the wait was a bit long. Served green tea and regularly updated did not feel neglected.
Lori listened to me and made helpful suggestions when I was unsure of what I wanted. She took the time to give me style points even though it was well past the hour of closing on a Friday night. All her tips were easily reproducible by someone who’s a bit of a klutz with hair.
Big bonus for not trying to sell me expensive products!

First of all this place is SWANKY but in that oh so FABULOUS way…
hardwood floors, chandeliers, + exposed brick!
Beautiful.
I had my hair + makeup done for a recent photo-​shoot. Everyone who worked there was so lovely, warm + welcoming. The offer of something to drink is always a nice touch!
A HUGE thank you to Breanna for making my hair look amazing + Beth for the beautiful makeup. Both ladies were super fun to talk with + did a great job making me look my best.
The only downside is the street parking– most (what you can find) is metered.
If you want to look fabulous, this is your kinda place!
