I am extremely happy with my hair coloring experience at style bar. Massi was really nice and did an amazing job using my inspo photo to create something flattering on me. As a new mom, my hair had been struggling and now everyone has told me my new hair has restored a glow in my face. I’ll definitely be back at the style bar!

I’ve been going to Massiel at Style Bar for a few years now to do my hair and she does an amazing job every time. I love that she gives alternatives if you want to take baby steps into drastic hair changes. She goes over every detail based upon any style or color I ask for. Aside from being great at hair she is also very kind and friendly. I can expect to be happy every time I leave her chair.

I’ve known Massiel for a few years now, I actually met her through my mom and I honestly can’t recommend her enough. She’s done my hair a bunch of times, from long layers to face-framing cuts, and it always turns out exactly how I want it, if not better. For my prom a couple of years ago, she styled my hair and it came out 10x better than I even imagined. I showed her an inspo photo, and she literally nailed it. The curls were perfect and lasted all night. I felt so confident because of how good my hair looked that night. This year I finally decided to dye my hair for the first time, even though I was a little nervous, but I trusted her completely. I showed her what I was going for, and she did EXACTLY what I wanted. It came out so amazing, I’m obsessed with my hair. I have received so many compliments on it. Massiel truly listens, pays attention to every detail, and makes sure you walk out feeling amazing. I’ll definitely keep going to her, and I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone super talented and trustworthy. (Photos below: my prom hair and my recent color!)

I’ve been going Massiel at Style Bar for many years and realized I never took the time to write the review she truly deserves. She is incredibly talented, professional, and always makes sure I leave feeling confident and happy with my hair. It’s rare to find someone you trust with your hair for so many years, and I’m so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Massiel for over a year now and I’ve never been more in love with my hair! I’d always wanted to get a balayage and I finally decided to take the jump. I’d gone to others for breaching and was concerned with hair damage. Massiel offered me a free consultation and strand test and assured me she would only take my hair as far as it could handle. I was iffy initially but here I am, a year later and absolutely in love with my hair. I’ve gotten balayage 3 times and see her monthly for a root touch up. Besides her professionalism with my hair, she’s extremely kind and friendly!
