Studio Posh29

Do Hair God Mother exist? Well at Studio Posh 29 they do. They swing there hand and go Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, and transform you to a different person. I came in with a (who knows what), and Miriam (Hey Girl) did an amazing job to Transform my hair to a beautiful color. It took a Long process, and it was worth the few hours. Ladies don’t expect to get what you want for cheap. I learn my lesson and now know the meaning «You get what you pay for». Never a quiet Dull moment in there, Miriam– Katie and Gabby ALL walk in with big smile and directly to there clients. It was small, and cozy. I can’t wait for my next session.

Omg Miriam saved my hair! (Backstory) I asked my usual go-​to lady who’s been doing my hair for about 5 years for a silver/​cool toned look. Well, my hair was nothing like what I asked for! I was so upset so I booked with Miriam asap! A close friend referred me to her. She fixed my hair and did an amazing job! Will be coming back in the future to her from now on

Thank you, Miriam, for helping this new, tired mommy feel human again! 9 months of bed rest, then moving to a new town with a new born, doesn’t exactly give a woman the time (or desire) she needs to take care of herself. For the first time in a year, I feel GREAT! All the thanks goes to you, Miriam. just as the others wrote, you ARE a magician. Or, better yet, an angel!
I felt at home as soon as I walked in. everyone, and I mean everyone, was warm and very friendly. The atmosphere is fun and modern, and still professional.
I will be going back!

It was my first time here and I am very impressed. This salon is very nice. Miriam did a fantastic job on my hair. I love my new hair style !

Had an appointment with Miriam a few weeks ago. Told her I liked my hair lighter rather than darker and that I wanted a long bob. Other than that, gave her full creative license.
She did balayage to give me super blonde (blonder than I’ve ever had) hair and did a super sassy lob cut. She styled it super cute (if only I could recreate it), and was very nice and easy to chat with.
It definitely took more time than I was used to for typical highlights and cut — I was there for about four hours total — but the result was worth it. I get tons of compliments on my hair and feel like it’s the most «modern» ‘do I’ve had!
The salon itself is super cute and clean inside, and the four stylists there — Miriam, Katie (also owner), Gabby and David — are all friendly and seem to be quite talented (follow their Instagram for frequent examples of their work @studioposh29).
I would totally give five stars if it weren’t for the price. Granted I’ve had my hair done by the same person for almost 20 years prior to coming to Studio Posh 29, so the price never went up (aka I’ve been spoiled), but I paid $ 140 for the cut, color, wash and style. Not sure what the going rate for that is, but it’s pretty steep for a school social worker’s salary.
I love supporting local businesses in my neighborhood, especially when they add style and class to the community and to my locks… I’ll be back to Studio Posh 29 for sure (I’ll just have to save up before I go)!

I called Katie after finding her through Unilocal and scheduled. I had purple and silver in my hair and was told by someone else at another salon that achieving what I want was gonna basically be impossible because of the purple well I explained to Katie what was said and she let me know purple is hard to get out and that she would try her hardest to make my hair look better, she did that and then some she truly has a gift and did a wonderful job I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome.
Remember everyone’s hair if diff and some products don’t always work the best on everyone’s but Katie and her team really will try there hardest to give you what you want and if not what you want exactly they’ll make it look pretty damn good and they all use the best supplies they don’t cut corners I will be back and referring everyone I know here.

First time at the salon and the design is very cute! Miriam was extremely sweet, funny and thoughtful! She took her time with my hair and I appreciate that! She always made sure that I was comfortable by asking me if I want some water or tea. Awesome that they had tea because my cough was bothering me so that help soothe it. Overall the service was amazing and I would definitely come back. Did I mention I drove from Stockton? Lol But I would definitely come back and refer my friends and family!!! Love my hair! Thanks Miriam

let me just say, this is by far the best salon experience Ive had to date… dam my standards were low before i came here. I CANT begin to count the number of times ive tried going lighter. I have naturally dark brown hair and overtime have colored my hair every color imaginable… but get this… all those imaginable hair colors… were …BOX DYES !!! NOOOOOO SHEEE WASSSNNTTT READDDYYY!!! (kevin heart reference for those who dont know), (besides a couple salons that had TRIED but FRIED my hair =[)
anyways I was frantically searching Unilocal for a good 2 weeks before I found and decided to go with studio posh, why you ask? .well besides the fact that solely based on the pictures from Unilocal and instagram… they pretty much looked like they knew exactly what they were doing. I called in to schedule an appt, a nice lady by the name of katie answered the phone, super sweet nice and informative, I told her i had recently box dyed my hair dark brown before new years and wanted to go lighter (darker root ashy blonde balayage, the way i put it) and unlike other hair salons who would always tell me «NO PROBLEM !!! WE CAN DO JUST COME IN, IT WILL LOOK GREAT PROMISE YES? » ., katie explained that because of the strenuous use of box dye my color would be difficult to lift and even though i didn’t want any orange or brass that there would be a possibility that it would happen, she mentioned that it would take more then one session to reach the desired effect that i wanted but that it could be done .
just the fact that she was so honest with me made me feel at ease. i have a busy schedule mon-​fri but she was able to fit me in on sat which i greatly appreciated !!!
When i arrived i accidentally walked into the neighbor studio posh NAIL salon, i came in looking confused but smiled and said loudly «IM HERE TO GET MY HAIR COLORED» …all the Asian ladies gave me death stares and pointed me next door .
when i walked in i was greeted by katie !! super pretty super nice ! she offered me tea, espresso pretty much any drink i wanted even though i was good i appreciated that she asked, it was a nice warming welcome (compared to the nail salon next door lol)
she pointed me to my chair and said miriam would be doing my hair… beware guys… Miriam is a MAGICIAN (at least for my hair), She is truly talented and will literally blow your socks off if you come in with them on… so wear cheap socks .
she handled my hair with the out most care, i was there at 10 and left around 3 or so but the entire time i was laughing and giggling and chit chatting my time away. it felt like it was just a bunch of friends who got together to do hair and eat chocolate covered strawberries… YES HUNTZY!!! miriam hooked it up with some homemade chocolate covered strawberries (valentines day festivities)
unlike other salons ive been to there was no drama no bullshit etc, it was fun!!! The group of stylist working all vibed very well together and it put me at ease .
long story short the color lifted great, it came out AMAZING!!! simply beautiful, I got tons !!! tons of compliments. ill be back for the second session this weekend and i know the color can only get better !
i found a salon and stylist i will def be returning to !!!
give them a try .i guarantee you will fall in love !!! and if you dont… ill give you like 5 bucks… but i swear this place is amazing ^_-!!!

I had a great experience with Gabby. She update my ombré/​balayage and helped tone down the brass. I felt like she took her time with my hair and didn’t rush. The salon itself is cute and comfortable. Gabby offered drinks including tea and coffee when I walked in, maybe next time I’ll take one! The scheduling was easy and her prices are affordable. Thanks Gabby! I’ll def be back!

Originally they seem to be nice and offered refreshment. Reviews looked good so wanted to try them for the first time.
The biggest issue I have with this salon is how they handle their customers regarding concerns and dissatisfaction of hair color.
Incident: 1÷23÷16
I came in for the earliest appointment 10am for a custom ombré and balayage with Miriam. I informed her beforehand of using a box dye. The first picture showed was what I wanted to achieve, which stylist confirmed it would not be reached in one session. Second picture showed was realistic and stylist confirmed it can be achieved. I agreed and we continued the session. Black color was put on the top of head, then the custom ombré and balayage. Stylist had another appointment at 2pm, so had to finish me up which ended closer 2:30pm. There was not a big change to the color of my hair (ombré/​balayage) and I showed concern. Stylist asked to come back later that day by 5pm once she is done with appt to finish haircut (suggested by stylist) and color some tips to get it close realistic picture. I returned and waited a bit since another her 2pm appt was still having color issues. When stylist was ready, she was able to do haircut. No problem with haircut. Then the ball was dropped – it was getting late and she was not able to do color! We rescheduled the following day by, so she had more time to do my hair color because she had no other appts. Closer to 6pm, the color was still not close to the realistic picture and the concern was raised.
After a few days, I was still really dissatisfied with overall color and visible copper tones in the back of my hair. I contacted Miriam and asked to schedule an appointment to get this fixed. She informed me I would be charged standard fee to do this. I contacted the owner, Katie, and addressed my concern, but showed bias in her responses. Ex: Stylist «went out of her way and came in on Sunday». BULLS*#T! The work was not done so don’t make it seem like it was the customers fault in making it an inconvenience for the stylist! In addition, owner stated that even if they tried to fix it I still would not be satisfied with the color. Wtf?! They haven’t attempted to fix the situation or tried to do my hair. Then ended up was saying that they understand if I go to another salon. Wtf! Obviously, I will be doing that because of their crappy service to addressing such concerns.
If this was addressed before hand that the realistic color could not be achieved then there would not be an issue in the first place. I paid close to $ 200 for the service and additional out of pocket costs to return to your salon two more times to finish that one appointment. This is extremely disappointing!
I have been patient throughout my sessions, which should of been one appointment only. The fact that I had to come back and forth to this salon to complete the original appointment, given a false impressions of the realistic hair color, lack of professional and attempt to fix issue, and make it seem like you understand if we chose a different salon to fit our needs all just proves my point about customer service!
Rule #1 in business is customer service! Do not stray away from customer concerns/​problems but make an attempt to fix the issue instead of making assumptions nothing can be done! Customers build and sustain your business!!!
I will not be returning back and will definitely be going to another salon wanting my business!

All of these five star reviews are for real and very much deserved! After looking on Unilocal for new salon, I decided to give Posh 29 a shot. They had so many positive reviews and beautiful photos, plus their location is super convenient, I thought it couldn’t hurt to try them out. I’m SO glad I did!!!
From my first interaction to the last, it was all good. I spoke with Katie on a Monday (they were closed, but she answered the phone anyway) and had an appointment with Miriam on Thursday. They, along with the other stylists in the salon, were super friendly, professional, and supportive. The vibe in the salon was relaxed and positive. Just what I needed after a long day!!!
So, a little bit about my hair: I have a lot of it, it’s got a mind of it’s own, and I was about 4 months out from my last visit to a stylist. (The stylist I had been seeing left her salon and I’m always weary of finding someone new.) Basically, it had gotten to the point of no return. After my consultation with Miriam we decided on a trim to clean things up and a single-​process color. It sounds simple, but from experience I know that it’s not always that way. However, Miriam nailed it! My hair looks and feels SO much healthier, but she didn’t cut off a ton to make that happen. I love the cut and color, and so does my husband. (Always a good thing!) Also, their prices are super reasonable!
I can’t say enough good things about Posh 29 and am looking forward to my next visit! I’ve found my new stylist, and I definitely will not wait another four months before I get my hair done again. Thank you, Miriam!

Hello
I came to Studio Posh 29 and right off the bat I had one of the best experiences getting my hair colored violet red. My friend Lisa recently got her hair bayalaged from stylist Miriam so I booked an appointment with her. The salon owner Katie is extremely professional and worked with my schedule to get me in. Katie right from the beginning let me know that the process would take time and gave me an estimate to how long the processing would be. I walked in and was kindly greeted by Mariam and other employees. My hair turned out exactly the way I wanted. I will be back end of the month for a touch up with Mariam. Not only was she nice, I felt extremely comfortable to ask her any questions I had (I’m one of those annoying people who asks so many questions before I fey my hair actually done). She was patient, and very thorough. Can’t wait to come back!

Gabby is such a sweetheart! She listens to what you want and have excellent knowledge of coloring! The staff here is always so friendly and welcoming! They make you feel like you’ve known them for awhile when it’s jus your first day here. This is my second time here for coloring and I would definitely recommend gabby, she does amazing work! I’ve been to a lot of salons and this is by far the best one I’ve been to.

Love this place! It is beautiful and clean, and the stylists are all so friendly. Katie is the best! I have been going to her for a few years and am always happy with the results. The last time I went she really outdid herself! I finally gave in and got a haircut I was so worried about getting. I have always had long hair but wanted a change and she made it happen! I am so happy I did and I have never had more compliments on my hair I also love how Katie goes over each product she uses on my hair so I can decide if I want to take anything home with me. They are very affordable and are amazing for your hair. Highly recommend!

Katie did my hair and she did a fabulous job ! I came in with red hot roots and she turned me into a gorgeous red head with dimension! And she is such a sweet lady and very skilled at doing hair! And she gives good head massages when washing the hair lol ! Definitely coming back for refreshing my red and touch ups !!

Got my hair done by katie. She definitely knows what she’s doing. Gave me the color I wanted. She is truely amazing at what she does and super sweet and friendly as well. Already made my next app. W her for next month. :)

The ladies (Katie, Miriam, and Gabby) of Studio Posh 29 are really sweet and friendly. When you first walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles. I love that the ambience of the studio is calming and relaxing, not like the usual loud busy bee salons. Katie offered her delicious iced tea right before Miriam started on my hair. Just the offer of the tea really made me feel like I’m at home. And Miriam shared her fresh grapes with me. Like I said, really sweet ladies who know how to make their clients feel welcome and comfortable.
I came here to get my first ever hair color done with Miriam. She did an amazing job with the balayage and cut. She didn’t cut off too much hair, she gave me beautiful layers, and colored my hair very very similar to the picture I showed her. It takes amazing skill to do that and she got it. Thank you Miriam for the amazing color and cut, and thank you to Katie for being such a great mentor to her!
I really love how Miriam was able to ask Katie for help when she was unsure of what toner to use; it shows that they have great teamwork and supportive partners that are there for them. Teamwork makes the dream work.
The studio is located on Broadway in the plaza next to ⁷⁄₁₁. They have a small parking lot in the back; there are also neighborhood street parking. They also have a nail salon sister store right next door!
If you’re thinking about checking out this studio, I recommend that you give them a try! You won’t regret coming here! (:

The search is over… I found my new hair studio! I’m so grateful to have found Katie on Instagram. And yes, I’m willing to travel for great services. My previous hairstylist was in San Mateo, 45 – 50 mins away from south bay, but I was willing to commute bc of the great result. Yet, Katie from Studio Posh, blew my mind away and all the other competitors away.
She listened to what I was trying to achieve with my hair and explained the entire process with me. Additionally, her bubbly personality made the long process go by quickly.
If you’re looking for a sweet, down to earth, attitude free hair stylist with amazing skills, look no further, Katie is your girl!
P. S. Gabby is a sweetheart too if Katie isn’t available.

I had to go in for a second session. My first session was done elsewhere and it’s just so difficult for me to find a stylist that I really really love. With that being said Gaby at this studio is super patient and sweet. She did a good job on my hair. I don’t think I’m use to my hair color yet though. I came in thinking I needed two more sessions to get the soft blonde look I wanted but apparently my hair lifted immediately. So I have really really bright blonde. It’ll get some getting use to. I hope that it will get a bit darker or softer after a couple of washes. Also the pictures I presented for reference depicted higher highlights with less of the black roots so I was a little disappointed about that. But overall I would return for future treatments. Probably come in to get the roots done. The prices are reasonable.

I first heard of studio posh29 through a mailer that I got. It was close to my house, so I figured why not give it a go. I called the salon and asked about pricing and figured that for everything they do, $ 38 for a haircut seemed pretty reasonable. And because they are a pretty new salon they had a promo that was $ 5 off of your haircut. So I decided to make an appointment and was able to get one the same day.
I came in the salon and was greeted right away. After a couple minutes, Katie sat me down and offered me a beverage (which was served in a mason jar. LOVE). Right away, she asked me what I wanted to change about my hair, which was great because typically stylists like to give their opinions before asking what you would like done to your hair. Then she took me over to wash my hair. The products used are great and smell AMAZING!
Katie then cut my hair and was always making sure that everything was even. After the cut, she blow-​dried /​styled my hair. Once I looked in the mirror, I was immediately in love with my hair again.
Katie, you are awesome!!! and I think I just found my new go to hair salon! :)
