Studio 486

I’ve never had my hair done at a high end salon before and I’m so glad I did. When I made my appointment the salon accommodated to my needs for an evening appointment. I had a partial weave done by Richelle. She blended the highlights with my old color so perfectly. She is so kind and really took the time to make my hair perfect! Thank you thank you! I’ll be back!

I have been going to Kara for haircuts and color for 2 years. She’s great! I look forward to seeing her, get tons of compliments on my hair after and she has become a friend. I highly recommend her!

I purchased an organic spray tan from Lindsay Florek and it was AMAZING! I can’t believe I forgot to take before and after photos but it was by far the best I’ve ever had. She was awesome and made it super easy and FAST! NO orange, NO streaks and it lasted for a solid 2.5 weeks (and I went on a cruise, got in water and shaved…)
I wouldn’t go anywhere else! So good! Thanks Lindsay, you rock!

Always look so forward to walking in the door at this hair studio. Such a great atmosphere. Most importantly love Hailey my stylist ! I have the best of both worlds with her. Hair and eye lashes ! What a great 3 years I’ve had w her.

This review is for Lindsay who does waxing and spray tans. What can I say– Lindsay is awesome! She is sweet, funny and made me feel very comfortable for my very first (naked) spray tan!
The whole process was easier than I thought it would be. It only took about 5 – 10 minutes and Lindsay directs and positions you so that you get the best and most even tan possible– she can also tailor it to light or dark– I am going to Vegas so I went dark– and I love it!!! I was very surprised that the tanning spray had no scent at all– I was expecting to be blown in the face by toxins to be honest– but this was not the case at all thank God!
I will definitely be back to be sprayed by Lindsay again and would highly recommend her services!!!

Best spray tan ever!!! Lindsay is seriously amazing! Not only is she professional and super sweet, she strives to really understand your tan needs and customizes each tan for each occasion. I have super vampire white skin and most spray tans either turn me orange or don’t really work. This tan not only is super natural looking, it dries so fast and doesn’t smell!!! Also, if you moisturize daily the tan can last a week+! Fades super gracefully– no splotchy spots. I’m so thankful to have found this perfect tan! Thanks Lindsay!!!

Such a cute salon with great vibes and talented professionals! Shawntel is seriously amazing! I am so happy with my cut and color! Xoxo

The remodel makes this salon super cute. A little too small for me, but very functional. Love Alexis, she is very nice, quick and timely for cuts and color.

If you want gorgeous hair it’s gotta be Shawntel McCarty at Studio 468! I’ve been with her since she was at Toni & Guy! She’s a lovely human being with great listening skills and above all does amazing hair! Most amazing balayage ive ever had. She’s just great with color. I feel like a Victoria secret model after I leave!

Had the Pleasure of having Shawntel highlight ~blow dry my hair
So Sweet ~ Friendly ~ Professional ~ Punctual
I was greeted at the door then went to her cute little station
That is we’re the magic happens without feeling rushed or forgotten
She truly Loves what she is doing and she is so good at it
I will miss my other stylist now that Shawntel Won me over
Love ~ Love ~ Love this cute little gem appropriately named Studio 486

I have been going to this place for three years now. I love it. It’s darling, friendly, and fun! Jennifer Park is the best! Anything from cut and color to make up and life advice! She is so sweet and truly cares about her clients. I don’t let just anyone do my hair and I fully trust her with color and cut! I et compliments on my hair almost everyday!

Found a Groupon deal for a Brazilian wax and read really good Unilocal reviews about Lindsay. All of those reviews were correct. My experience with Lindsay was definitely 5 stars! She talked to me the whole time, prepared me for sensitive spots, and gave me helpful tips to prevent ingrown hairs. I will definitely be coming back to Lindsay, even without the Groupon. Also, the ambiance of the room was relaxing (smells of lavender and the wax had lavender in it as well). She uses soft wax with clothe strips, making it WAY less painful than my previous waxes and she was very quick (about 10 min).

Cute salon and they use great products. The woman that cut my hair was very nice however, she didn’t do what I asked. AT ALL. I asked for 2 – 3 inches off. She cut 5 inches. I showed her a picture and my hair doesn’t even slightly resemble the picture. This is what I get for trying somebody new. Always better to stick with who you know when it comes to your hair.

I got a model cut from Studio 486. My friend referred me to one of her friends who was going to style my hair at the studio. My friend told me it was a cut and color as I said those were the only stipulations in which I would do it under.
I get there and there was a delay in getting us started which concerned me knowing that model cuts can take a long time to do. I repeatedly told the girl over text, I have to be out by 2:30 PM. When the girl started working on my hair she told me there was no color. I would have not done this cut had I known that but, at that point, figured, fine, I’m here, I already took the time off of work, etc. (FYI– this was not their fault but, my friends for not communicating the mishap with me.)
Little did I know, the owner gave me one of snobbiest, most pretentious, Newport/​Orange County like experiences ever. SO rude. I was considering coming back if I liked the cut but no way, dude. They kept looking at my hair with concern because they knew the stylist had messed it up quite a bit. I have a huge chunk of hair in the back of my head that feels open. Meanwhile, I asked her to keep it as long as she could since it was a bob model. Well, to my dismay, once she was finished it was totally lopsided, so they had to cut again and shorter, of course. They started texturizing it after the lopsidedness and again it became shorter and shorter. Why not just shave me bald here?!
The owner literally acted like «What? You’re getting a free haircut.»
Just so you know, treat your models like you would the customer. The whole point of a model is PRACTICE. If this is the «la-​di-​da» service I would get coming in as a regular, I would dare never to step back in. Plus, the model are people in the community with a word of mouth to say.
I hope it was a favor for your «assistant» at the very least because this is the SHORTEST haircut I’ve ever had. Shorter than the pictures you sent my friend. Hope she learned a few things as well as yourself. Nothing makes a customer happy than being kind and leaving the ego behind you.
P. S. I make enough money to get it done. Free or not, I don’t need services at 486 paid or unpaid again.

I am new to the area and needed a good spray tan and Lindsay did such an amazing job! She is so friendly and thorough! Also I love her products! It smells good and is not tacky at all! She drives me so when I put my clothes on it was not sticky! I highly recommend spray tanning here! I’m bronzed with no streaks and looks so natural! I will definitely be coming back for more sessions and I already referred to friends!

Lindsay is my go to girl for a spray tan! She is fast and very sweet! I normally go to tanning beds but after going to her I no longer do bed tanning. It’s a very natural beautiful glow! She also has an awesome friday special!
Definitely worth going a little distance from my home.

I was unhappy with my hairdresser and was nervous about looking for a new one… so many choices and, like most women, I’m really particular about my hair. I bought a Groupon for blowouts with Chelsea at Studio 486 and I’m so glad I did! She is so sweet and personable, and made me feel comfortable right away. After a couple of blowouts with Chelsea, I felt ready to commit and try a cut/​color with her. She listened to me and did her own research on Pinterest to get ideas for my hair. I have never had a hairdresser take the initiative like that, usually they just wait for you to bring photos and tell them what you want. I was so impressed, and felt like she took the time to really invest in what I had said (i.e., she listened!). I was so happy with my cut/​color and I’m now a 100% Team Chelsea enthusiast. She’s amazing, please go see her if you are looking for someone like I was.
Additionally, the salon is clean, has nice décor and you have your choice of many beverage options.

This salon has cancelled our hair appointment more times than it has kept it with hardly any notice. Poor customer service. Lots of other salons in the area that are more reliable.

Love this place, Debra is the best and I recommend her to the world. Wait, maybe not, she already is too busy. No really, she is the best but the truth is that they service and the vibe from everyone is awesome.

I was debating between a 3 or 4 star. I bought a Groupon for a wax with Lindsay a couple weeks ago. The online appointment scheduling is kind of confusing. You need to register and «request» an appointment then they confirm and you receive an email.
My wax with Lindsay was a good experience, she’s very friendly and makes you feel comfortable. She explained the hair cycle process and what type of wax was used. She is a fast waxer. I was in and out within 10 minutes. However, the growth was back within a few days because the hair broke from just below the surface and wasn’t grabbed from the follicle. I was a little disappointed. I guess I’ll just have to wait another few weeks before getting waxed again.
