Hair Studio & Day Spa

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 Unilocal 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.

I started going to this salon because my mom has been a client for the past 20 years. The owner, Kate, has been my mom’s hair stylist for the entire 20 years and does a wonderful job. She hires quality staff and runs a great spa and salon. I have been going to Hair Studio for over ten years now and am a loyal customer. Nikki is a fabulous hair stylist and colorist who makes sure you get the style you want and are happy with it. I enjoy everything from the hair wash (including a relaxing head massage) to the ideas Nikki comes up with for my hair. I’m known to like changing my hairstyle, length and color and she is very encouraging, but also sensible about the changes I make, which I appreciate.
The salon also provides nail services, waxing services, massage services, and skin care treatments. One thing I particularly like is that there’s never any pressure to purchase products. They will suggest products, but never push you to buy them as I’ve experienced at other spas and salons.
I had a bad experience once when I was unable to get an appointment with my stylist and made the decision to try another salon. Bad choice. The cut was horrible and very poorly done. I called Hair Studio and spoke to my stylist and she was more than willing to see what had happened and try to fix it. It took two appointments to get my hair back to normal and I was so appreciative for the work she did to help me!
Stylists, mine included, stay up-​to-​date on their education. Nikki is always sharing new techniques with me! They also are very knowledgable about what hairstyles will look best on you.
I believe with hair, you get what you pay for. The pricing is fair for the quality of work. As long as I live in Madison, I will be going to Hair Studio. You should check it out too!

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.
