So fire, great staff, please go here
walkable from UVA and the corner. in two visits, Shay has given a great haircut twice, and Mike has been very hospitable. definitely recommend! EDIT: several years ago, I scheduled a haircut with Mike, which I paid a bit more for. I was handed off to a stylist, who was perfectly pleasant. apparently she was very…
Liz is excellent at her job! Very skilled, efficient, and fun to talk to!
Amazing haircut! Go to place to get one, best stylists I’ve found! :)
Paxton did an excellent job and I am really happy with how my haircut turned out.
The owner Mike and his team are terrific. I recently got a men’s haircut from Mike and I am exceptionally happy with it. I will be going back to them again for sure.
liz got me in and out with the cut I requested without a reference image and still managed to give me exactly what I wanted. awesome !
Stopped by for a haircut after work with Mike; EXCELLENT experience. He communicated very clearly about what we could do, his recommendations, my preferences, and how he was going about everything. Super chill conversation, great service, reasonable pricing. Will absolutely be going back!
I can’t recommend Kendra enough, she was fantastic. I love my haircut so much and the experience she gave me was so welcoming and warm, if I’m back in Charlottesville I’ll definitely be coming to her exclusively. She gave me exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
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 :))
Great haircut
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…
Amazing cut at a well run shop!
First time here, very happy with the result! Mike immediately understood what I wanted it, so this will be my to-go place in Cville from now on.
Meranda is amazing!!! 10/10 recommend her. Amazing skills, super kind, and very communicative.
Kendra is awesome!! I have curly hair and she’s the first stylist I’ve been to that really knows how to cut curly hair and make it look good!!
Kendra cut my hair and she was very professional and did an amazing job, couldn’t have asked for a better service! My hair feels amazing!
This place was lovely, I went in with my sister, she has straight hair, whereas I have curly hair and our hairstylist Meranda was able to work with both of hair types and give us the style we wanted. First time I’ve come out of a salon feeling good about my hair cut and someone doing me RIGHTTT! Our hairstylist…
I had an appointment with Kendra today. She did a great job on my hair, cleaned up my facial hair, gave me some really good suggestions, and was fun to talk to. I will definitely visit her again.
Meranda is actually the best!!! She was so kind, explained everything as she did it, and really listened to me when I explained my hair goals. I will absolutely be booking with her again!!
Kendra is skilled, intuitive, and friendly! Great haircut and styling, and affordably priced :)
Kendra was incredible. She was very welcoming and kind, and took my inspiration photos and blew them out of the water. Highly recommend trusting her with your hair
Finally able to get my hair cut as a busy mom. Meranda did an AMAZING job helping me get the right hair cut for me and listening to my wishes and concerns. Highly recommend her and this salon!
Perfect service loving atmosphere really nice people and cute dog best service I've ever had in my life and the owner Mike is a sweetheart
Meranda did a great job, would highly recommend!
Yall I NEVER give reviews because I’m too damn lazy but Chloe is the absolute GOAT! I had some really long hair that needed a good cut & layer, and after I got my hair cut today the amount of compliments and looks I got were CRAZY. This girl will save your life trust me 🙏 Also it is pretty well priced for a broke…
I was late but Liz fixed me up anyway! And I look good :) thanks Mike and Liz!
This was my second visit, and while my stylists, Kendra and Izzy, were exceptional, I was disappointed by an interaction with the owner. Kendra provided an amazing pixie cut during my first visit, and Izzy was equally fantastic during my most recent appointment, understanding exactly what I wanted without a…
Chloe is absolutely amazing! She really knows what she’s doing and makes the whole experience so enjoyable. It was so nice to reconnect after all these years (we were classmates back in 2nd grade!) I’m so glad I found her again and will definitely be coming back.
Great haircut!!!
I see Paris and she always gives me a glow-up!
First time getting my hair colored here, and it was a great experience! Chloe was obviously quite knowledgeable about how to properly lighten my hair while keeping it healthy.
I am very happy with my haircut and will definitely be back! Chloe was personable, offered great practical tips to take care of my hair and scalp optimally and we discovered we had a lot in common! Thanks so much!
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.
Frederick is great!
Excellent service. Really listen to me Which is excellent.
Frederick is amazing with his hair cutting and hair coloring skills - as well as kind !
I have lived in Cville for 6 years and have been going to Studio108 for 5 years now. Can say it’s hands down the best place to get your haircut in town. Mike, the owner, is a great guy and never fails to give me a great haircut. He was always able to match pictures I showed him spot on. If you live in Cville, I…
Have loved every cut I’ve gotten here. It’s the only salon I’ve been to that keeps notes on what they did last time. Very consistent results and I appreciate that.
Studio 108 is great, I’ve been going there for a few years now. Liz gets me right every time!
Kendra was fantastic and made me feel so welcome,, I got the best haircut and brow wax I've had in years !!! very great atmosphere
Frederick did an amazing job highly recommend!
Kai is the best! They’re always open to conversation and making sure that all the aspects are what I want! Thank you thank you for the speedy and textured layers and styling :)
I've been here a few times and have had both Kai and Liz cut my hair. They are both really great and take the time to understand what I want and what will work for my hair! I often struggle finding good hair cut inspo that will actually look the way I want it to, so I really appreciate that they both are thorough and skilled at cutting my hair.
been here multiple times! kai is lovely and amazing. as someone from the dmv area, the pricing is also amazing. could not recommend more!!!!
Great experience, nice staff. I had someone (relatively) new, and she did a great job on my haircut. They definitely take the time to understand what you're looking for (using pictures, descriptions, etc.). Would highly recommend for students (they give a student discount).
Kai is a curl whisperer. As a curly girl herself, she paid close attention to my hair’s natural texture to create a perfect custom cut (and even did a cool curl twirl to define each of my curls individually). So glad I finally found my stylist after being here for so long. Never going to anyone else but her from now on.
Lovely small salon. Kai truly knows short curly hair and spends time for consultation regarding needs. Finally found my spot!!!!
Mike saved me. I got butchered at another barber shop and Mike personal stayed after hours to fix it. Coming to Studio108 for good!
Kai is amazing! Always very happy with my cut. Would recommend her 10/10 times. 🙌
Always an enjoyable experience; excellent work and lovely conversations!
Paris, as always, does an incredible job. Will always be getting my haircuts at Studio 108
I got a perfect haircut from Kai. She did exactly what I wanted and was the best haircut I've gotten in a while! I will be coming back.
Kia is fantastic and the fees are very reasonable. Completely happy. Mike does a great job with the kiddos cuts.
Frederick is such a fantastic stylist! He always does amazing color and cut things with my super fine hair, allowing me to feel more confident! Also, he takes time to listen to what you want and offers great suggestions too!
Paris was *so good*, I cannot praise her enough. My partner and I both got our hair cut by her, and she's genuinely amazing. Fun, super meticulous while cutting, listened to exactly what I needed for my hair type, which other stylists have had problems with (it's deceptively thick) and I haven't been this happy with…
Great staff, an inviting atmosphere and a top-notch cut!
Paris is the BEST! So glad to have found this place. Will recommend to all who ask.
I’m a chubbier fella with a round face, and I’ve been terrified of getting short cuts my whole life because I was always afraid that the stylist might give me a cut that accentuated my cheeks in ways I wasn’t okay with. I went in, showed some helpful picture examples on my phone, and my stylist, Kai, did exactly…
Fantastic!
