Studio 210

Alright curly haired friends, I have found your answer for any amazing cut/​color in LA! Look no further than Terra Nieto. She really is incredible. I came in with dull and old color and she listed to what I wanted and perfectly freshened up my look. I have been holding out on getting my hair done as I wanted to find the right person and I am so glad I sat in Terra’s chair! She was knowledgeable, calm, and very professional and I felt that I was in the right hands. She balayaged my hair (See below for pictures) and I have never received more compliments. She cared about what I wanted and spent extra time making sure it was right. Not only was the color on point, she gave me a great cut for my curls AND blew it out to perfection. I am not kidding, you cannot go wrong here. I have recommended all my friends and felt so strongly that I am writing this review! Enjoy your fabulous hair after seeing Terra!

I love Studio 210, great service, fantastic, comfortable salon with talented hair stylists. Lisa is my favorite, she does amazing highlights for my blonde hair and gives me a great hair cut every time. Easy parking, relaxing experience.

Tara was great! she gave me a really even cut and was very perceptive about the status/​condition of my hair. will be going back– like this much better than spoke and weal

My 1^st haircut wit Michael at Studio 210 was ok.
2^nd time also with Michael, he game me just an average haircut & looks nothing like the cut I requested (more like just a trim).
Time to go somewhere else!

Michael was a very precise and careful stylist, and I ended up with a sophisticated, beautiful and fun bob, as I’d asked for. Thank you! The salon is sparkly, thankfully, not too loud in the music department, and comfortable to be in. I had forgotten my Groupon and Michael was kind enough to give me a break for the haircut, and let me use it for my next trim. Oh, yes, a shout out to the lady who washed my hair. Very relaxing and respectful. A 100% pleasing experience this morning!

Well this is a first! I had been going to Didi, the owner, forever and have loved her. I had been pleased with her cuts and color and had referred numerous people to her over the years. She does lack consistency though! However her willingness to re-​do, touch up has always been without issue. Didi also suggested I get a Keratin treatment so finally I did. Because I only have to wash my hair once a week, I didn’t have to do it again for 6 months. But when it was time to have it done again, Didi decided she no longer wished to do them and had me see Trish. The first time Trish did my Keratin she didn’t run the flatiron over my hair enough times and the Keratin didn’t last at all. When I reached out to ask Didi about it, she called me back screaming that I should call Trish, why was I calling her and in essence had a complete meltdown on me. I had called Didi because I really didn’t know Trish, Didi was the owner of the salon AND she had sent me to her. Finally I got Didi to talk to Trish and Trish agreed to redo it running the iron over my hair the suggested number of times. As upset as I was with Didi’s behavior, I considered it a one off and continued to go to her. Trish continued doing my Keratin and you couldn’t ask for a sweeter person to have to spend 3 hours with. When in for a bang trim though, I mentioned to Didi that for some reason, my hair never responded to the Keratin like it did the first time when she had done it. I asked if they used the same product, but just asking Didi about it made her defensive.
I also had my bang trim scheduled for an earlier day. Just as I was leaving my house they called to tell me Didi was running late and they had to move me back, ok no problem. But as I was walking across the street for the new time, I received a call that my appointment was being canceled. The reason, because another client was going to the Emmy’s. I have worked in the industry for 30 years and honestly a simple apology, that Didi’s time had been miscalculated instead of the elitist comment would have been more appreciated. When I mentioned to it to Didi, she became yet again defensive and then combative by telling me she was doing me a favor and that she wasn’t the one who had made the comment. Ok, two things here: 1. Every stylist I have ever been to does bang trims for free and fits you in to their schedule (mine was the first appointment of the day and she was running late) 2. You own the salon. If your receptionist says something that makes a client feel like they are being told another client is more important than they are, wouldn’t you simply acknowledge the indelicacy and move on?
And then this: After the bang trim, the girl at the station next to hers was blowing out her client and cash left from Didi’s previous client was blowing all over the floor. I pointed it out to the receptionist, asked her if she wanted to take the money for Didi and she said to just leave it. So I placed the money under Didi’s phone, (which btw has rounded edges and is NOT flat). Didi was washing her next client so I went back to talk to her and when I returned to pick up my purse, the $ 50. (two $ 20s and a $ 10) was gone and $ 5. was on the floor. I said something to the receptionist letting her know how odd it was and left.
The next day I received a call from Didi accusing me of stealing her money! Who the hell accuses a longtime client of stealing their money? ESPECIALLY when they pointed out that it was flying all over the salon? It makes a hell of a lot more sense that the money blew away again since the $ 50. was gone and $ 5. from who knows where was on the floor. So I only needed $ 45. of her $ 50? Utterly ridiculous! Instead I am being accused of being a thief. HORRIFIED AND DISTURBED!!! Literally in shock. And fyi, if this is her idea of DEDUCTIVE REASONING, I’d hate to have her on any jury of mine!!!

Studio 210 is a great salon. Everyone I have worked with has been at the time of his or her game. Christina Niven is a brilliant colorist and gives a beautiful haircut. She gets it right each time. Moreover, she is funny and kind and smart.
Shout out to Joseph for being a super nice guy and one who gives a great blow dry. When I am in the salon I look around and see happy customers getting great haircuts and styling. Bonus points for having the best up-​to date magazines. Love this place.

Love me my Michelle. Best colorist! Takes good care of my long highlighted locks. thanks girl! Terra on the right ! Thank you again ladies !!

After coming to Terra at Studio 210, I can’t go to anyone else. When she is out of town, I am very ambivalent about letting someone else blow-​dry my hair… So I come in during the week just to get my hair done by Terra for the weekend. I have never received so many compliments on my hair in my life. I don’t say this lightly– she is a hair Goddess. I talk to her about everything. She listens and gives thoughtful advice. She’s accommodating and just plain GETS IT, whether it’s about hair or life. Plus she’s affordable. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

They remodeled the Salon and it looks Fabulous! Its all shiny and white and bright and I love it!
I’ve written several reviews before, but I needed to update. Everyone at the salon is very nice. The other stylists are fun and friendly as well, but I only see SHANNON. When it comes to hair, she’s my girl.
I’m lazy and I’m pretty low maintenance when it comes to caring for my hair. I’ m a wash– and-​go kind of girl. I don’t use product or dye my hair. With that said, Shannon always gives me a great maintenance free cut. Shes always starts with a consult and then she gives her suggestions before proceeding. I’ve been going to her for years and she still does that. She listens and she does amazing work!
The reason to keep coming aside form Shannon being a lot of fun is that people compliment me on my hair and haircut all the time, and I don’t do anything to it! On more than 1 occasion I have been stopped by strangers…(walking down the street, in the ladies room, in elevators, etc.) And they want to touch my hair or they ask me where I go to get my hair done.
Oh its sooooooo fabulous! My vanity keeps me coming back! Go see Shannon!

I moved to LA few months back from NYC and had no idea where to get my haircut. Luckily, I stumbled into Studio 210 and found Terra. She’s the best stylist I have ever had. I send all my friends there and no one has been anything short of impressed

I’ve never left a review for somewhere based solely on the experience of trying to go there in the first place, but this place absolutely deserves it. I bought a groupon for a haircut back in November. I’m not big on groupon, but since I am relatively new to the state and wanted to find a good stylist, I figured I would try this place out since it is down the street from where I live. I called to make an appointment, and the receptionist told me the next 4 Saturdays were filled up, and they only had weekday, daytime appointments available, but she would put me on a waiting list. I was disappointed because I needed my haircut before the holidays, but I had already bought the groupon so I was out of luck. And I work during the day, and I can’t exactly skip work to get my hair cut. 4+ weeks pass by and I heard nothing back. I called back in January, and the receptionist gave me the same answer! Again, I called back in February. This time, she says they don’t accept the groupon for Saturdays! I flipped out and told her it said no where on the groupon that Saturdays were excluded. She said it was a new policy, but since I had bought my groupon before they had enacted the policy, she would put me on a Saturday waiting list out of courtesy. WOW, thank you sooo much! Have I heard back from them? NOPE. My groupon expires tomorrow. Advice to this place: don’t advertise on groupon if you don’t want to honor your deal! Why are you wasting people’s time? I plan on reporting you to groupon.

This review is long overdue! Christina Niven at Studio 210 is a wonderful stylist/​colorist who really cares about the client and the results. She’s fun to talk to, does a great blowout, and deserves 5 stars!!! I’ve been seeing her for the past few years, and always leave the salon feeling much more glamorous then when I slunk in with my grown out roots and (gasp!) one or two grey hairs :) Amazing the confidence adjustment a great stylist can give you!

Christina Nivens is the most amazing at hair color! I’ve been seeing her for years. not only does she do an amazing job, she is kind, considerate, and so talented. If you’re looking for amazing hair in Brentwood, Christina is you’re woman!!!

Terra is to hair as Monet is to watercolor. I am so highly impressed with her professionalism and expertise in her craft. I literally came in 6 months ago having gone to a barber for haircuts (didn’t turn out well), she listened to what I wanted and provided a game plan going forth. Since I’ve been seeing her, my hair has become a main strong point in my appearance. No doubt, Terra is the best hair stylist I’ve ever been to in addition to a wonderful person and friend to chat with. I listen to her advice and it has only brought me confidence and happiness. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazingly cool stylist for their wig!

I came here with a Groupon to try out Studio 210! Michael was great. He did exactly what I wanted, and the finished product looks excellent. Right from the beginning he got what I was going for. During the cut, I enjoyed chatting with him. Often times, I find myself chatting with a hair stylists initially (or maybe not at all), then the conversation does out, and the later half of the hair cut is somewhat awkward. However, Michael and I had a very nice conversation all the way through. I’d recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for a hair stylist with precision, great skills, and a friendly attitude.
As for the studio itself, my only thing is that I wish they had free parking. But that isn’t enough for my to dock a star. The place was clean, felt pretty cool, and had a good vibe.
Thank you!

Hair type: baby-​fine, and curly. Needless to say I’ve spent a lifetime struggling with this combination of hair texture and curl. (There are several tragic pictures of me as a kid where nobody would doubt I was a boy). Ouidad was a complete waste because their products totally weighed down my superfine hair, made it look greasy, and didn’t preserve the curl. Their whole thing over there doesn’t work for us baby-​finers. Thus, I’ve spent most of my adult life with long hair that frizzes by 9 am and then up in a ponytail or bun or braid or some combo of those three.
Out of desperation, I called studio 210, and asked if they could help. And they did!!! Cara is a pro with curly hair, especially my type. She so totally gets it. We play around a bit with the cut but overall, I can go days (days!!) in a row where I wear my hair down. No ponytail. But if I did put it in a ponytail, it now looks cute in it’s own way. One of the things she insisted upon was a little bit of color to roughen the hair cuticle, and, though I was initially resistant, her recommendations and color were totally right. It’s way cheaper than Ouidad, and you get tailored recommendations to your hair type.

I went to Michael for a haircut + blowdry and he did a wonderful job! He deserves 5 stars!!!
I then went to Shannon for color and I was greatly disappointed.
She did not do what I wanted and instead of offering to fix it, she tried to convince me that I was wrong.
She did not care that I wasn’t happy with the color and that now I need to go to a different stylist to fix it.
Shannon was also really rude to her assistant and that made me feel very uncomfortable. She gets 1 star!!!

Got my haircut with Michael and I couldn’t be happier. He truly is a perfectionist (just like he promised). He took his time with my hair and gave me awesome layers. He is also VERY FUN to talk to. I’ll be back soon. :)

I have tried all of the highly recommended colorist in LA and no one has even come close to Shannon. She is the queen of color! You will not be disappointed.
The salon as a whole is 5 stars.
