Great chat with my hairdresser. I think the time I booked somehow went into the system as 10 mins before what I put into my calendar. Slightly annoying but not a problem.

There are a number of great stylist here. They are doing a great job handling the pandemic. Masks, dividers, cleaning, and social distancing where possible (it is a haircut after all)

The nicest place in town, hands down! Great, seasoned stylists, friendly staff and caring owners. And in the most charming neighborhood in Madison to boot. Awesome!

I've been going to Hair Studio almost since it opened. I travel all over the country and get compliments on my cut and color wherever I go. I'm not great with my own styling, so the cut needs to hold up -- and it always does! Kate is amazing, and I've also had Angie and Nikki. They're all fantastic and make it a pleasure. Plus you get a head massage when they condition your hair. Some day I want to go and get a scalp massage just to relax!

Kate gave our son his first hair cut. Preston is now 29. I've been a patron of Hair Studio since it opened because of great, friendly and consistent service. Kate always makes it a priority to help me look my best.

They are terrible with customer service. I bought a Groupon for them and was really looking forward to finding a new salon after moving to the area. I set up my appointment last night and no one told me any "rules" that pertained to the Groupon. I needed to cancel because of the bad road conditions and she said there was a 24 hour cancellation with the Groupons and if you cancel less then that - they take the Groupon. Will definitely not be going here!

I recently had my hair done with a groupon that I purchased.. and I was not pleased with the customer service at all. I had Julie do my color and she was very rude and unpersonable when I first got there and couldnt decide exactly what I wanted. I called previously and asked the lady over the phone before I got there if I could get highlights rather than an all over color (which I purchased the groupon for) and after talking to Julie about it in the salon, she was very unpleasant in helping me make my decision on what to do. I ended up going with an all over color and leaving without feeling very

I am new to the area and desperately needed my hair cut and highlighted. I found a groupon for this hair studio and thought I would try it out! I read reviews on yelp and it seemed promising. I received THE BEST cut and highlights EVER! Julie Naggs was my dresser. She is so creative and really listened to what I wanted. I showed her a picture of what I liked and she made it happen perfectly! I feel I look even BETTER than the model! I could'nt be more happy and I will keep recommending this salon and stylist to my friends.

One of the worst hair experiences I've had in Madison. I left with my hair looking brassy, frizzy, and puffy. My stylist was Julie. I am very disappointed with the money I wasted here.

I love this place! Got my nails done...gel overlay...and perfect after a week and a half! No chipping whatsoever. Other ladies must be using their nails as tools. A big no-no. One stop shop for haircut, nails and skin. Five stars PLUS! And nothing out there beats Moroccanoil!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but similar to Mia H., I am already starting to see chipping in the shellac polish and it's only been two days since I got the manicure. I'm knocking my previous review down one star because the quality of the manicure is definitely not worth the full price I would've paid. Good thing I had a coupon - but even then, I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon to get my nails redone.

I purchased a groupon for a shellac manicure. My experience was terrible although the woman doing my nails was very friendly. First, she did not do anything except buff the tops of my nails, and minor cuticle cutting. She didn't even file my nails. Second, she only covered the middle of my nails, leaving the sides and tips unpainted. Two days later, one nail had chipped halfway off and today, 4 days later, every single nail is chipped. Shellac is supposed to last two weeks at least, so I am very disappointed with the results.

Still wonderful, but just a tip -- you can't put tips on a credit card, so be sure to bring cash or a check.
