I’m in town visiting family and in desperate need of a hair cut. Wanting something local I found Studio L Salon & Spa and was able to book an early morning appointment online when another client had cancelled. My good fortune in getting an appointment and with the owner, Lisa. The salon is lovely, I was shown right…

They have hair, nails and aesthetician services. Really nice people 💕 I feel like everyone there would do a great job. I was very comfortable, many salons are not like that.

It was a beautiful salon and all the staff were so kind and personable! This was by far the best salon experience Ive ever had and I definitely will be coming back. Lois gave me a phenomenal haircut and style and Keeley did a wonderful job on my eyebrows. My fiance got his hair cut as well and it looks amazing!!!!!

Mary-Grace, thank you so much for the incredible review! It truly means the world to us that you had the best salon experience you’ve ever had - that’s what we strive for at StudioL. I’m so glad you loved your haircut and style with Lois and Keelie took such great care of your brows! And we love that your fiancé joined in too! We can’t wait to welcome you both back soon!

Liz is a master at hair color. She is able to blend my hair with highlights to look very natural and even. I also love how even and neat she cuts my hair.

YOU GUYS. Go here. Request Liz. She is a hair wizard. She brought through a horrendous color correction with THREE-FOUR separate bands of color and got to this beautiful ash blonde. Was it a process? YES. It was not possible to accomplish in one sitting or my hair would have been ruined. She was realistic about the outcome of each session. I walked out of her salon today almost in tears, cuz BABY she brought me BACK. So thankful for a great experience and a kind salon owner who is so incredibly talented.

Response from the owner · 8 months ago

Zoe, this means more to me than you know! Thank you for trusting me through the process - especially with such a major color correction. It wasn’t a one-and-done situation, but protecting the integrity of your hair while getting you to that ash blonde was the priority every step of the way. Seeing you walk out happy today (almost in tears!) is exactly why I love what I do. Thank you for your patience, your trust, and your kindness. You are an absolute gem!

The service itself was next level — I felt completely relaxed the entire time, and the cupping was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. I could literally see and feel a difference in my skin immediately after. She was extremely knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and customized the treatment to what my skin actually needed. It never felt rushed or cookie-cutter. You can tell she genuinely cares about skin health and client experience. Highly, highly recommend if you want real results and a truly relaxing experience. I will absolutely be back.

I had my first appointment at Studio L Salon & Spa and it was a really great experience. I came in for just a haircut since it was my first time and I booked my next appointment on my way out the door. Liz was really warm and kind, and talked with me about ways I can make my hair healthier at home and didnt try to sell me a bunch of product, which I appreciated. Prices are fair and the space was well decorated and cozy.
