Beware!

by nada102 at Citysearch

Go somewhere, ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

I walked into this salon without a referral (my mistake). I saw Tony for highlights. It was a horrible experience. He had me hold the foils and hand them to him as he needed them. So much for a relaxing salon experience. He put me to work.

The highlights are spotty & uneven. I could have done better with Sun-In, doing it myself. He pulled my hair when he was brushing it and burned my scalp with the blow dryer. You'd think he's never done this before! I'm not sure of his credentials but I'd be surprised if he has any.

The salon was dirty. Hair and dirt and dust covered his area and supplies.

It was a horrible experience. Find somewhere better. Do it yourself. Just don't go here! I'm convinced that the positive reviews were submitted by staff.

love love love Tony

After reading the reviews I decided to give Salon Studio a try as I am constantly looking for my next hair guy/girl. (I move often so the search is never ending) The prices were reasonable and the location was perfect for me so I made an appointment with Tony. I have super thick, long, curly hair that is next to impossible to wear down. After being welcomed and ushered into the chair, no waiting, Tony listened to about two sentences from me about what I wanted and understood. He reiterated what I said and I left it in his hands. He washed my hair, and then dried it. I have never had my hair cut dry, I've had some come back in with the scissors after it was dry but never the complete cut. The man knows what he is doing. I've been playing with my hair for about a week now and it is just brilliant. It is long and curly, but now it is light, hangs beautifully and is effortless. I can't speak for the rest of the stylists or the other services they provide, but if you need to trust someone with your hair you can't go wrong with Tony!

Be careful what stylist you get

I went with my young (7 y/o) daughter. I requested Tony because of the previous reviews I read. He sounded like a great stylist, and he was. My hair came out great and the way he styled it---it looked really good!!

The problem was, my daughter was put with a younger guy. Don't know his name because he was at a stall for a female. As far as I know, this younger man did not even have a license, and he certainly cut my daughter's hair like it was his first day in training! Tony came over and instructed him on how to cut correctly, SEVERAL times.! I have no idea what they were saying becuase it was an oriental language I did not understand. Her hair came out terrible.

My daughter and I went sometime back in August 2010 and have not returned yet. I later took her to the new Great Clips behind McDonald's in Leander. For a lot less, they fixed her hair after it grew out a few inches.

My recommendation is to see only Tony. He is good. I don't know about anyone else, but if they put you with anyone else, make sure they show you their license and find out how many years they have been cutting hair. A little child with messed up hair is not good, but as and adult, you don't want to be walking around looking awful. I am giving 2 stars, because my experience was "sorta good". Tony was GREAT, but the other guy was awful.

I was referred here by a friend. I was a little nervous because it had been so long since I had color/ highlights in my hair. Well needless to say, I am not disappointed at all! Tony cut and highlighted my hair and did a great job! I will definitally going back! To add a bonus, its around the corner from my house!
