I was completely underwhelmed. I wanted to get my hair colored, but someone would have had to go buy color, which I thought was really strange. I have never been someplace that doesnt have color in stock. I just had my hair trimmed.

Fantastic colorist! Went in for highlights and they were priced right and looked great! Gina is my girl!!

Got a Groupon for a cut and partial highlights. I am sorry but I cannot recommend Gina at all. The entire process felt extremely rushed, I definitely felt like she could care less if I came back. I felt like she did not really care about the results at all and it shows.I have long hair and told her I wanted a trim to get rid of the dead ends as it had been 5 months since my last cut. Even though I specified, more than once, that I was totally okay with losing a couple inches, of dead ends, she seemed to take a trim very literally and did not take enough off at all. I told her I wanted long layers and she just kind of ignored me. The cut is ok but not great.My real disappointment is the highlights. I repeatedly told her I wanted very subtle, sun kissed highlights, just to maintain the very subtle highlights that I already had. Since they arent that far grown out, you could tell where they were and how they were thin and widely spaced out. Nothing dramatic. Unfortunately, she put in way more highlights than I had to begin with and they are totally uneven. Even worse, the ones she put on my hairline where I pull my hair back are sloppy looking and uneven and some of the dye leaked and made a blonde splotch on some un-highlighted hair- it is very obvious when I pull my hair back. It looks like I went to beauty school or did it myself. So it wasnt just that she misunderstood my definition of subtle but she did a sloppy job , I guess because she was rushing.I wish I would have read more reviews before I got my Groupon. Not a big surprise that Groupon posts reviews that are glowing. Now I need to go spend more and get someone who takes pride in their work.

I bought a groupon for here and was a little worried because reviews werent great. However, I had Melanie Welch as my stylist and she did an awesome job. I hadnt been to a stylist for a while so my hair was very long (dark, thick and curly- with pale skin and eyes my natural hair has never done more then wash me out). Not being a stylist I was able to discribe what I wanted in laymans terms (short, barely able to pull back if needed, good looking highlights and easy to scrunch and go curly if short on time). She did exactly that and it looks great! I am really really happy with it. I walked in a little concerned and left a very very happy customer. I will definitly be coming back.I wanted to put on here that I had some trouble finding them (google maps navigation tells you youve arrived at your destination while in the middle of providence) they are sorta behind gerbes in that area of shop fronts.The inside of the salon was smallish (set ups for about 8 stylists at the most) but was nicely decorated and very clean. There isnt a lot of waiting area (I had a friend and my two small boys with me at the time). But they have a couple toys for kids and we brought crayons and coloring books, so it wasnt an issue.Melanie was very friendly and made me feel very at ease. Very personable I guess is the word. My husband loved my hair too, so it definitly was a score on all fronts, lol :-)

Friends dont let friends go to Studio South Salon! Go ANYWHERE else...great clips is a step up from this bad joke!!!
