Had Cameron give me a hair cut and a styling. Exeptional experience. Very relaxing. The results were fantastic. Everyone loves my look.
Can't recommend Kameron high enough.
Tammy is an expert stylist! She just knows instinctually what to do wth your hair. After my eye surgery, Tammy went out of her way to make sure my hair was shampooed and blow dried without any problem of soap getting in the eye. I love my haircut and style, it feels like me. Tammy is a true professional who…
I was really impressed with Anisah She asked me what I needed done and was very helpful. She did a great job on the haircut and style. Anisah is a wonderful stylist that always listens and asks questions about what I would like. She offers great suggestions about the style and is very responsive to my input.…
I absolutely loved my whole experience, from start to finish! i was greeted warmly when I walked in and paid wiith another friendly smile. I can't wait for my next cut!!
Always a pleasure great color and cut
Emily took time to consult about my desired hairstyle and the type of cut I was looking for. It was my first visit to StudioZ and based on my positive experience I look forward to my next appointment. Thank you Emily! I love my new 'do'.
Anthony is a magician with my frizz-prone wavy hair! He's wonderful!
Lindsay is so talented. Love having her do my hair. Always a great look!
Anthony did an excellent job. He’s very kind and professional. Due to my mobility issues, Anthony helped me get out of chairs etc. I’m very happy with the service. Anthony is my go to person.
I couldn't be happier with my experience! My stylist did an absolutely amazing job with both my color and my haircut. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and the end result exceeded my expectations. The color turned out beautiful with perfect dimension and exactly the…
Tammy is a true professional. My hair always looks amazing after my appointments! She’s a rock star! I highly recommend
Tammy does a great job with my hair and I completely trust her opinion and skills. She's a hair ninja!
I'm always pleased with my hair when Meredith is finished. She's awesome! Tammy 🙂
Excellent as always. Great wash…so relaxing. Great cut and style! Fun conversation too.
Sydney is very personable and takes time to explain things. Gives great tips for home care and styling as well.
She took her time and did a great job on my thick and frizzy hair!
Melissa is THE BEST!! 🩷 I trust her totally if we want to switch things out and I’m always happy with my cut/hairstyle. She’s gives a great neck massage too!!
Anthony was amazing! Love the cut! Highly recommend
Todd is very knowledgeable and experienced. Listens and asks questions to better understand what you want. Highly recommend!
I would happily recommend Tammy as she is great.
Meredith is an excellent stylist. She understands my hair and listens to my preferences, both of which I really appreciate. Plus she’s nice to talk with!
I really wanted to like this place. Everything started out great, until the very end. The checkout process here is high-stress and uncomfortable. The staff asked me to state my tip amount out loud in front of a crowded salon. Even though I always tip 20%, being pressured publicly like that felt like I was being…
Carlina really listened to what I was thinking I wanted. Together we decided on the end product. It turned out just great I couldn’t be happier!
Love the atmosphere . Lindsey is a magician with hair. Gets it right with my cut every time. Highly recommend!
First of all, I was driving by & stopped to make an appt, lucky for me Zamara was available!! I did not know she was in training!! She was amazing, listened to everything I had to say about how I wanted it cut, showed her a pic & she did great…..was very patient with me!! I came in with very long hair & I wanted…
Sami is truly amazing all around. Every appointment feels like visiting a friend, getting that much needed girl time while also enjoying pampering, self-care “me time.” She delivers every single time. I’ve honestly never been fully satisfied with my haircuts before meeting Sami, and now I can’t imagine going to…
Jade always does such an amazing job with my long, fine, yet thick hair! She’s super friendly and fun to talk with, and I love sitting in her chair and getting to see the magic she creates!
Love this place. I've had various stylists over the years due to my schedule and I've never had a bad experience here. Wonderful team members and stylists!!
Excellent, as always! Megan is my go-to stylist! She’s super friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
Maggie always takes time to sit down and talk with me about my hair to see what I'm looking for before getting started which is appreciated!
First time having Anthony cut my hair. He listened to my wants and went beyond my expectations. Love my cut and the simple style he put into it.
Syd is excellent. She gives great recommendations and does great work.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — My Forever Stylist! I had my hair done today by Sami, and I genuinely cannot put into words how AMAZING she is. From the moment I walked in, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. She took the time to actually listen to what I wanted, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure we…
I’ve been going to Melissa for over 10 years for cuts & highlights, she’s absolutely the best! Very professional & knows what’s she doing. If you’ve got specific requests or need recommendations/ideas, she can do it! I’m in good hands with her! She also did my hair for my wedding back in 2014! All in all, StudioZ has a great atmosphere!
Maggie is AMAZING! I would never see anyone else. In addition to being a true artist she is one of the warmest, friendly, genuinely kind people I have ever met! 💜
Todd was very patient, kind and listened to me. He is very informative and understood exactly what I was looking for. He did such a lovely job on my hair!
Sami was great! She was nice, personable, and a great hair stylist. The head massage/shampoo was so great and above and beyond. Loved my cut. 10/10 would recommend!
Great first haircut at Studio Z and I'll definitely be back again for my next cut!
She listened to exactly what I wanted and what my hair needs were. She was friendly and so kind. She went above and beyond for just a wash and blow out. I will definitely book her again. She’s great at styling high maintenance hair/client.
After 20 years of hair of ugly hair cuts, my daughter in law told me to try Sami, her stylist. Incredible! It was the first time I absolutely loved my curly short hairdo. It’s been a year now and I’m not going to stop! Highly recommend!
Really love the cut, color and style and she was such a pleasure to chat with. Great stylist! I’ll be back:-)
Great staff, great vibes, and free waiting room coffee. I’ve gotten cuts with Sydney for months now, and she & the staff have been welcoming and talented. It’s also been queer-friendly, which isn’t always a given. Wonderful place!
Melissa knows my hair knows how I like things. She suggest ideas for me which I really love. She is a very, very Skilled hairstylist, I would recommend her to anyone
Maggie really listens to what I want, asks thoughtful questions and then gives excellent haircuts!
Todd always does an amazing job. The staff at the front desk is great!
My hair always looks amazing after Melissa does her magic and she’s great fun to chat with!
Excellent
Studio Z has many different services and nice people that are happy to work with you.
If when you show up for your appointment and you have to wait that's okay. But if you forget your appointment was on Monday and thought it was Tuesday you get charged $46.
Melissa is amazing! If I could choose a higher rating I would! I always get so many compliments on my hair. She’s like my very own beauty secret, only not such a secret! Everyone else at the salon is always so warm and welcoming and helpful too!
Great experience!
No complaints about Todd - he was great. However I had trouble with the heavy perfumes/fragrances in the air from all the products. I left with a great haircut but a sore throat and wheezing.
First time at Salon Z, I had an incredible experience. The atmosphere of the salon was very welcoming and cozy. Sydney was my stylist, she was so great. I highly recommend her as she gave me a great trim and a curly hair regimen that was simple and realistic for someone to complete at home without spending tons of…
Sami worked magic on my hair, highly recommend! The salon is also very cute and they have a large retail section of everything beauty, even clothes!
This was my first and quite a lucky visit with Zamara! She was attentive to what I needed and provided a new cut and style for me that will allow for easier hair management. Be sure to book with Zamara for your hair needs! Judy
This was my first time going to Lindsay at Studio Z. She was welcoming from the get go and did my hair beautifully, exactly what I was hoping for after showing her my reference pictures. I came in having such a bad day and left feeling so confident, with my mood having flipped a 180. Thank you so much.
First time here
Jade has been doing my hair for 5 years now. She is absolutely the BEST! The staff at the check in desk are kind and helpful.
I’ve had hair and skin services done at Studio Z for several years. I’ve always been very satisfied. Katelyn and Cassie rock!
Amazing as always! With Melissa’s input, creativity and artistic skill, she’s easily one of the best stylists in Madison. I put complete trust in her process and she never disappoints. I’ve been with Melissa for over a decade. Always a great experience at Studio Z. Great customer service and very welcoming. I will not go anywhere else.
Maggie is a great stylist, talented, really thinks about what works for you. And fun to talk while getting a haircut! I always look forward to my visits with her. I would recommend her highly!
Sydney is awesome. First time getting my hair cut by her and she did a fantastic job!
Zamara was confident, knowledgeable and great with my daughter. She gave recommendations on hair care, and I really liked the cut when she was done!
Sydney was extremely polite, knowledgeable, and talented. Throughout the process, she meticulously considered every detail and backed it up with valuable hair health tips and tricks. Highly recommend her for your next appointment!
Melissa is the best! I have thick, coarse long hair and I get compliments on my hair every day because of the amazing cuts I get Melissa. In addition she is friendly and fun. I highly recommend her and Studio Z
Carlina cares to understand what I am thinking, gives me advice when I ask for it and all her attention is with me when I am at Studio Z. In 8 years I have lived in Madison, she has been the best stylist I have met.
Great experience as always. I’m not always in the mood to talk. Sometimes I just want to relax and close my eyes, Tammy “reads the room” so to say. Always a pleasure!
Zamara was super awesome! We had a wonderful chat, she listened to my preferences and how I want the lowest maintenance haircut possible. And she executed it flawlessly.
Carlina really took time to understand and discuss what I was looking for in my haircut. Very happy with how it turned out.
As always Todd did a fantastic job!
First time and won’t be the last! Thank you!!
First time at Studio-Z and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the haircut! Will definitely be a repeat customer!
Excellent service. Well over my expectation. I highly recommend 👌
I definitely recommend Todd! He was AMAZING!!!
Sydney is a gifted hair artist. She listens to my ideas and executes them with her professional skills. She’s also great at explaining what she’s doing and how I can replicate it at home.
Sami is the best hairstylist! Super friendly! I love my cut and color.
I only go to Studio Z when I need anything done to my hair, my stylist always creates the perfect hairstyle, haircut, hair color (etc.) that I love and fits me. As someone who only gets their hair done a couple times a day, at most, I look forward to my appointments very much! Studio Z makes it very comfy. They…
I absolutely loved getting my hair done by Johanna! At first I was not sure whether I wanted highlights or a full color and I knew I wanted bangs (which I haven’t had them since middle school and I’m in college now) I showed her some pictures as well as told her my concerns and she listened and gave me advise. We…
I loved my haircut and my stylist! Jade was amazing in every way down to her skills, knowledge and personality! I left feeling beautiful and confident. My experience couldn’t have been any better!
I highly recommend Melissa. I’ve seen her for many years and always appreciate her ideas and suggestions.
Love johanna! So easy to chat with, so personable and she gives great cuts. Best experience I've had in a hair salon ever. She also helped me find new shampoo by trying it out on me first.
Megan always does a phenomenal job with my hair!
First time there. Todd is a perfectionist! Took his time and listened to what I wanted and worked his 🎩 🪄 😊
Melissa is amazing!!! I have been seeing her for 8 years now and absolutely love her. She makes all my crazy ideas come to life! I highly recommend her.
Sami is amazing! Best shampoo I have ever had. My cut and color was on fire!
Sydney absolutely killed my hair cut. I love it! She listened to my concerns about breakage, used appropriate products and treated my weak strands so kindly. Already excited for my next appointment with her.
Megan is amazing! Great personality and very talented! Highly recommend her.
Sami is amazing! The scalp massage was the absolute best and my hair feels so good.
Jade was very knowledgeable and personable. I look and feel great! Looking forward to my next visit!
I've been a customer for many years. I've always enjoyed this salon. Great colorists
Studio Z has great ambience and it is a really pleasant place to visit. I enjoy getting my hair done by Jade who is an absolutely phenomenal stylist. I would rate my experience as 11/10 if I could.
I get tons of compliments from Todd's work and he always works hard to make me feel relaxed and welcome.
This was my first time at Studio-Z and I’ll absolutely be back! Sydney was great. Super attentive, good conversation and the haircut was the best I’ve had in a while! The new exterior looks so nice from the road and I’m excited to see the future interior updates as well.
Melissa was great, she knew exactly what I pictured in my head. Definitely coming back for her!
Sydney was amazing. She did a great job cutting my son’s extremely curly hair and did a deep conditioning.
Outstanding Haircut - Can not wait for the color. I always complimented my girlfriend on her hair and I finally made an appt with Todd! Best decision!
It's been a long long time since I had a scissor cut. Lindsey did a fantastic job, giving my hair the time and attention it deserved. A true professional to her craft. I'll be back.
There are new owners and they have no control of their staff. The stylest they have been hiring are extremely inexperienced and totally reckless with the clients. The reception staff is inexperienced and rude as well. It's no where near what it used to be. I will never go back .
I recently had liposuction surgery. I did a few Lymphatic massage's with Cassidy. I'm absolutely grateful because, I woke up without any complications or drainage. I have been healing well and still no drainage. I feel valued as a client everytime I go in and not only for lymphatic massage's but facials and just…
Sammy was absolutely wonderful! Made me feel incredibly comfortable and secure after I had recently had a very traumatic experience at The Ultimate Salon! She did an amazing job with the color, treatment and cut. I have already scheduled my next appointment and I refuse to go anywhere else. Thank you so so much!
My hair was a disaster since I wasn’t able to take care of it properly due to health complications. Luisa took the time to listen and take into consideration what I wanted/needed. Now my curly hair is more manageable and pretty.
My hairstylist is Maggie Nelson at Studio Z, and she is currently helping me transition from dying my hair for the past 20 yrs to embracing my natural gray color. I am beyond thrilled to have her OUTSTANDING EXPERTISE in helping me through this process! She genuinely cares about EVERY aspect, and makes sure I’m…
