I agree with some of the other 1 stars reviews. I called to find out about extensions.. The woman who answered the phone was super rude when I asked if they did them. She said no. I asked what services they offered and she said hold on and hung up the phone on me and then wouldn't answer until I called from my fiancés phone. I asked why she hung up on me and she told me she was busy? Guess she doesn't care about getting new clients

I went from long hair to very short hair and I have never trusted anyone to cut my hair that short because my hair is so curly. I took a chance with Carmen and she worked with my curls and I love my new style. Takes me 10 minutes to do my hair in the morning. Will not go back to long hair again now that I have Carmen to cut it. Thank you Carmen!!

Going to Carmen this week was the best thing that happened to our hair. She answered all my questions and gave me recommendations for my hair cut. On the other hand, my daughter showed her the pic of the hair cut she wanted and she got exactly what she wanted. We have never gotten such great hair cuts she takes her time to shape your hair the way you want it. We trusted her with our hair and will continue to go to her from now on. If you need a good quality haircut plz go to Carmen you will be highly satisfied with the service she will provide you.

This is my second time coming with Carmen. She has cut mine and my daughters hair and she does an awesome job! I absolutely love her work, and she is extremely kind & professional, as well as her staff! She dyed my hair this time with highlights and I love them. I highly recommend her solan, you can't go wrong!

Carmen is excellent. I got exactly the color I was looking for and a new cut that I have the confidence to show off because of what a fantastic job she did. I also did not expect conversation to be so easy with her since I have a hard time with new places and people, but talking with her flowed naturally. The staff were also very friendly, and you can tell they have a lot of satisfied customers that keep coming back by the rapport they have when others come in. Will be coming back and recommending to others.

New in town and in desperate need of a haircut - I found Stilo Hair Design online. It was quick and easy to schedule an appointment within the week. Carmen was amazing - she asked for photos and we had a great discussion on what my goals were for the haircut before we started. They did a wonderful job keeping social distance and ensuring everything was clear between customers. She is genuine, polite, and a true professional.

I started seeing Carmen in 2006 and she has never disappointed me. She is an excellent colorist and goes to Italy every year to attend hair clinics to keep up with the freshest styles and colors. I moved to Austin in 2016 and could never find a hair stylist who suited me. I came back to El Paso in late 2019 to live and the first appt. I made was with Carmen. After all these years she is family to me.

I had done a lot of research as to the best hair stylists in El Paso before I was lucky enough to discover Carmen at Stilo Hair Design. Her work is always beyond immaculate and she nails down the exact shade every time while also making sure to never damage your hair. I have been to a lot of hair salons but this is the best by far and I would recommend it to anyone looking to change up their hairstyle.

Carmen was amazing! After a box dye job months ago followed by the COVID19 pandemic my hair was in major need of help. Carmen not only fixed my color and added highlights she successfully covered my grays and explained how to take care of it and improve my hair health! I am so happy to have found an experienced and sweet stylist! Highly recommend STILO hair designs.

I moved to El Paso not too long ago and was having trouble finding a salon. I had gone to 2 other salons but honestly all they did was damage my hair even more. I then stumbled in this salon, u went in for a consultation agreed on a plan and then went back to had my hair done and I could not be happier with the outcome. Not only did she did an amazing job she did it with minimal damage to my hair. THANK YOU!!!! From here on out this is my only go to salon for my hair.

After reading the reviews I made an appointment with Carmen. I didn't regret it. I felt welcomed and well taken care of. I showed her what I wanted as a hair cut. I have a lot of hair and sometimes my hair cuts take longer than expected. My hair was cut in a reasonable amount of time. I absolutely love my new hair cut and will be making an appointment at Stilo in the future.

I’ve been going to Carmen since I moved back to El Paso, over 4 years ago. I first went because a friend highly recommended her. And, I wouldn’t even think of going anywhere else! I love Carmen, her staff and everything about my experience at Stilo. Carmen is a master with the scissors and gets updated training all the time. She’s the best!!

Carmen has been the first person to EVER cut my hair the way I've wanted it. Every other hair salon has told me my hair would not work with the cut I wanted and I always left unhappy. Stilo not only cut it beautifully but it has been 8 months & it has grown out amazingly. I still get asked where I got my hair cut. On top of amazing work, the customer service is outstanding. While there, they were preparing for a co workers wedding and they still took excellent care of me and made me feel at home. I will be trying their color services next.

Carmen is incredibly skilled and easy to communicate with!
Not only did she do an excellent job listening to my styling needs, but she did a great job asking questions throughout to make sure she was cutting my hair exactly how I requested.
She also is the first and only hair stylist who has been able to or even offered to cut my hair in such a way that I can change my part from side to side. I love the versatility!
I will absolutely be coming back and am thrilled to have found this place and this stylist. Highly recommended!

Transplanted from the NW. Read online reviews of several stylist and liked what was said about Stilo's. Was still nervous because, we'll, it's my hair!! I'm blond, not the typical coloring.... *nail bite. Saw a gal while shopping who had a gorgeous cut and color. Turns out, she goes to Stilo's!
I've now been twice and Love Love it! Carmen knows hair- all types! Two wonderfully talented gals assist which helps things go quick and smooth.
Don't edge me out of my appointments- but I highly recommend Carmen!
4 stars now-5 stars when her remodeling is done. I want

I'm thrilled to have found Stilo Hair Studio! America is amazing! She's God's gift to hair - especially my curly hair. She gave me the best cut, highlights, and blowout ever. Seriously, America took me from an 80s hair band to silky bombshell hair. She took the time to really listen to what I was looking for, made amazing recommendations, and totally delivered. Bonus - she's super fun and easy to talk to! Best hair day I've had since straighteners were invented! Thank you!!!

I had to wait to write this review, since I had a very new hair cut and it takes a while for me to adjust.
I have to say I loved my new hair cut, and I recommend this place. I have tons of hair, and Carmen was able to reduce the volume and style my hair. My biggest concern was to be able to make a pony tale, and I was. Love my hair cut!!! Thank you Carmen.
