Kendra was so sweet, thoughtful, and talented! I was a little nervous to go from waist-length hair to a bob, but it was easy to trust that I was in good hands with Kendra. She did such an amazing job and really embraced my natural waves/curls. I left feeling so confident and liberated with my new look :))

I usually don’t leave reviews, but this place genuinely surprised me in a good way. I went in for a simple haircut after work and expected the usual rushed salon experience where nobody really listens. Instead, the stylist took her time understanding how I normally style my hair and what bothers me most about it…

Studio 108 is my new go to. Their online booking system is very easy to navigate and their staff are great to work with. I saw Liz to have several inches taken off my hair after neglecting a hair cut for over a year. She did an amazing job layering and shaping my hair how I wanted and I'm so happy with the result.
