Studio Be Salon

Gee, where do I begin for a ridiculously over priced place to say the least. Several items I find EXTREMELY distasteful about this place.
One of the most pathetic items I was told as a cheap excuse for a very messed job was they claim they have either artistic stylist or detailed stylist. WHAT A BOGUS LINE OF GARBAGE AND RHETORIC! IMO anybody who does a lousy job on a simple haircut then claims well they are an artistic stylist has ABSOLUTELY NO business period cutting people’s hair. I believe that the world would be better served if they would change professions to shearing sheep. And that is giving them credit at best imo. On a second note never allow anybody to use a razor to cut your hair. Many times it only leaves your hair EXTREMELY uneven and chopped up to say the least. If some of their stylist can not even cut your hair correctly with scissors it would be sad to ever consider them using a razor blade and a comb. Especially when they use the cheap excuse that they are an artistic stylist to try and cover their low quality job. What a cheap excuse to justify a bad quality over priced haircut.
The second item is all of the PUSHING to sale products. Yes they carry Paul Mitchell which is possibly a step above big box brands but then I have found John Frieda products every bit as good as Paul Mitchell and some are even better than Paul Mitchell IMO. It is sad when you spend 3 figures only to have them push more and more way over priced products on you every time you go. I notice them talking about how great Paul Mitchell blow drying devices are but I notice they use other brands on the customers. I was so sick and tired of the constant pushing of products I could no longer take it. It was like a cheap barker at a side show carnival trying to sale you a 10 dollar hamburger and for 2 dollars more to have cheese placed on it. A used car sales person gets more respect out of me. It is a real turn off for just about anybody to get pushed products over and over many times while they are still cutting your hair.
BTW, DO NOT even try posting your cheap canned rhetoric here. I have very high quality photos of the lousy quality job you did and I have no problems emailing them to every single Ft. Collins resident. Yep, photographic proof of the bad jobs. IMO you seem to have an underlying arrogance that dictates reality. I will never go back especially when there are plenty of stylist all over Colorado at other salons who pride themselves on a perfect cut every time

I had a great first Studio Be haircut experience with Paulina. The prices are surprisingly reasonable which is one of multiple reasons I will be back to have my hair cut here. The environment is professional, clean, fun, and the «add-​ons» are exceptional. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone and everyone.

Love this place, despite it being pricey. I do NOT like that they try to sell you something every time. But otherwise, love it. Its’ a beautiful space.

I’ve been going to Studio B for about 7 months, recommended by a friend. I love the head massages that come as part of a cut. And my stylist is great.
However, after making a trip out of my way to get a bang trim yesterday, I was told they no longer do drop-​in bang trims, and the appointment options offered are at ridiculous times — basically if you have a day job, you can’t get a bang trim during the week.
I consider this a reduction in service, maybe to the point where I’ll switch salons. If I have to start making bang appointments it just starts to get inconvenient, and plenty of other salons do offer drop-​in bang trims. I wish they’d change the policy back…

Such an amazing place with some really knowledgeable and kind staff. I got a very very very bad hair dye job at a different salon, which they also forgot to cut the left side so my hair was uneven. I have not had any color for close to 6 years so after such a bad experience I was skeptical to go anywhere and was considering box color: s. Couple of my coworkers go here and love it and there hair looks so good. THIS PLACE FIXED My hair. I had Kayla she’s incredible, she knew exactly what I was trying to say and she made some great recommendations that worked so perfect with my skin tone, walked me through the whole process. I will be going here for many years to come Thank you so much Kayla it’s amazing how much u feel better when u look better.

Just wanted to share an update. I’ve been coming to Meg at Studio Be every 2 months for about a year and a half now. I cannot recommend this Studio Be location and Meg enough. All of the staff is super friendly and I always feel welcome there. Meg does such an amazing job on my hair each time. I started from an ombré light brown to a light-​medium blonde with such little damage to my hair, but it was a year long process. FYI, she has become very popular, so you may not get an appointment right away.

Really great, quality salon. Excellent hair cuts. But to see a senior stylist, you have to book 2 – 3 months in advance. I’m from NYC an lived in LA too, and I always went to high quality salons there. And I have to say that the hair cuts I got at Studio Be were on-​par with my favorite stylist in NYC. But I booked 2 weeks in advance in NYC, and that was with a full-​time insane job. I work from home now and basically can go any time, whenever, either of their salon locations. I still can’t get an appointment with a senior stylist without calling 3 months in advance. Not realistic at all. If they really are that busy, they should hire more senior stylists.
That being said, really great stylists. I wish it was easier to book appointments.

Lovely experience. Great cut. Fabulous shampoo. I mean the shampoo room is ahhhmazing. There’s quite a bit of pressure on clients to buy product. I get it, but I’m not a fan. The pitch is polite enough but still fairly obtuse. As in you know you’re being sold to. Again, not a fan of the tactic. Pricing is steep — I paid $ 65 for a cut from a lead stylist. My hair looks great, and I had a delightful experience, but that’s more than I’m comfortable paying in consideration of the frequency of my cuts. If price and pressure aren’t pain points for you, I highly recommend this salon.

Studio Be runs like a well oiled machine– they greeted me in a friendly manner and I was quickly introduced to the stylist. The wash was in a tranquil room, and I splurged for the 10minute scalp massage– highly recommend!
Kelsey took the time to ask about my hair, give advice on styling and product, and explain how her techniques would help it grow out nicely. I have curly hair and am very picky, so I appreciated her thoroughness.
I recommend this salon to anyone!

This is my monthly slice of heaven. Your haircut comes with wine or beer, chocolate, a head massage and of course all of the girly salon talk you could ever want. They spoil you and make you feel beautiful inside and out. My stylist is super talented and I trust her implicitly. I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I leave Fort Collins!!!

Vanessa is awesome! I’ve recently moved here, and left an excellent stylist. I’ve tried several places in the area, but I think I’ve found home here with Vanessa! She is easy going, she listens to your hair dreams (and doesn’t tell you it is crazy or impossible!), she is a wizard with matching hair color, and she’s an all around cool person. I recommend!
The studio itself is open and airy and feels comfortable, and they have a really relaxing wash room where the lighting is dim and your stylist gives you a head massage while washing your hair.
I’ll be back!

I went there for a simple haircut. The stylist and I agreed on taking off a couple inches and she took off about 6. She basically just cut and styled my hair to look exactly like hers, which I was not a fan of. When I checked out, it felt like I was committing crime because I wasn’t buying the product that was used in my styling. To end the experience receptionist was not very nice when I said I didn’t want to schedule another appointment.

Looked online the morning of to be pleasantly surprised with the availability of a same day appointment for root touch up & trim emergency.
You can’t beat the location right downtown with ample free (what?!) street parking for 2 hours.
Upon arrival at the studio I was greeted by a friendly face at the front desk who walked me through the process at the salon and handed me my menu card on which I could select a beverage of my choice (beer & wine included… awesome!), services needs, style of products to be used and any special requests. They also have a section for add ons like brows, deep conditioning treatment and my personal choice… an extra 10 minute scalp massage. Sign me up!
The salon is impeccably clean, well decorated and has the perfect blend of dark modern furniture & brick exposed walls. The vibe inside is bustling yet still easy to relax in… especially with that glass of vino.
My stylist was Bethany who was a super sweet & experienced gal who gave the perfect amount of advice and conversation. I went with a root touch up, highlights around my face and a trim all of which she executed perfectly.
One of the junior level associates stepped in for my wash & scalp massage — and I wish I had gotten her name because her scalp massage was killer. Definitely put me into a hazy relaxed state — not to mention the fact that the wash room is dimly light and filled with relaxing music. Does it get any better?!
Definitely my new go to spot in Fort Collins for anything hair!

I went for a hair cut last week and had a great experience. Appointments are usually booked up for a week, so no walk in. They offered a complimentary drink while I was waiting, enjoyed the hair wash room, I told her how I wanted to look and got a hair cut as expected. Salon is neat & pleasant and service is nice, I left feeling Happy.

5 stars for Hannah! She is simply amazing. Not only does she provide excellent hair cuts but her customer service during is above and beyond. She listens to your wants and needs as a customer and works with you to find the best fit hair cut and color for you. I went to her for a very short pixie cut (chopped 8 inches off) along with a drastic color change – her ability to ask my preferences and pair them with the shape and angles of my face make her a true artist! I am over the moon that I have finally found an amazing hair dresser! Thank you Hannah!

Ok. So I’ve been waiting a while to write this review because I wanted to see whether I’d go back when it came time for a hair cut again. I loved my hair cut and have even referred a friend who will be returning, but my experience there was enough to push a 5 star rating of my awesome do to a 2 star experience. I’ve decided I won’t be a returning costumer, but here was my experience:
I walked in, was offered a drink of my chioce, and sat to wait for Kristin. They give you a list you can check off if you’d like extra treatments, which of course they tried to sell you. I was VERY clear I didn’t want extras. They gave up and left me alone. So far so good! Kristin. Was. Great. I actually do not believe that I’ve ever had someone cut and color my hair exactly how I wanted it the first time I’ve seen them. If you want a great cut and color, look no further… but be prepared to PAY.
I knew she was going to be expensive, but here comes the actual problem and the reason I won’t be going back: I specifically told Kristin my hair was essentially maintanence free, indicating again specifically my hair does not get split ends. Ever. No matter what I do to it. I highlight my hair blonde to the point of it being nearly white and I go nearly 6 months between cuts, I use $ 2 shampoo/​conditioner, I wash my hair daily. No problem. The reason I’m telling you all this is because the hair washer lady person came in and said Kristin recommended a Kerotine treatment (this is essentially to moisturize dry hair, which, as I’ve said, I do not suffer from). I argued at first, but she insisted. Alright, whatever. Don’t wanna argue with the girl. Turns out, it was a $ 35 treatment, one that I had specifically said I did not want and specifically indicated I did not need. And forgive me for being naïve, but no one said anything about this treatment costing money when they offered it to me in the wash room. After, when I found out, I was very upset and the cashier lady did nothing but say I got it I had to pay. And so I did. My bill was nearly $ 250 after tip. I used to get my hair done in downtown San Diego and didn’t pay HALF that. Again, not that Kristin did not do an excellent job because she did… but $ 250 of excellent? I dunno that anyone is that awesome.
Then they tried to push more product on me, again, to put some moisture into that dry hair of mine… lol. It was just adding insult to injury at that point. So, in in the end, yeah I get it was only $ 35 extra bucks they charged me and I’d expected the rest… but I felt cheated out of it, given I was already insanely uncomfortable with the price point. Further, I’d made them aware I wanted NO extras AND the extra they gave me was for damaged, dry hair. I. Do. Not. Have. That. I may as well have flushed $ 35 down in the toilet. It still makes me mad, 6 months later, and I will not be returning.

I had really high hope for this place because of the good Unilocal reviews, but overall it’s been pretty disappointing. I’ve gone 4 – 5 times now and seen 2 different stylists who were lovely, but I never felt awesome about my cut or color.
I’ve had a pixie cut for a few years, and love it, but they never really made it look stylish… It felt more like a mom cut leaving the salon. It seems like they have an array of classic haircuts they feel comfortable with, but can’t really go outside of that. And for some reason my color always faded super quickly, even though I spent an arm and a leg on their Paul Mitchell products.
I really wanted to like it! But I think it’s time to look for a new salon.

I can’t say enough good things about this place.
So I’ve been a frequent customer here for almost a year and I have to say that my visits are consistently wonderful and so enjoyable. My stylist, Laurie, is one of the most lovely people I have ever met! She talks to me about ALL my problems, hair wise or personal. She always listens to exactly what I want and works her magic beautifully!
The ladies up front are such a pleasure to speak to every time and I swear my confidence soars just stepping into that place. It is such a positive environment where these ladies truly understand that what they are really helping you create is more confidence! They want you to realize how beautiful you already are!
Besides the existential side, they offer beer and wine (and a plethora of non-​alcoholic drinks), chocolate, and a wonderful list of extra spa-​like services you can get!
Coming here is truly a relaxing and happy experience for me. I’m so glad I found this place and my stylist. I love you all! :)

I’ve been going to Studio Be on and off since 2007 when I moved from the SF Bay Area. Never have I had a bad hair cut or color here! The Paul Mitchell products are so addictive I fear not using. The reason for the 4 stars has to do with the expectation they set for themselves which then I come to expect as well… It’s a Very high expectation, but they don’t always deliver. At times the service is inconsistent. Sometimes they offer a drink, other times it gets disorganized and they seem to forget. Darby is awesome– she noticed she had been running late for me and my kids across several appointments and they comped my haircut. Perfect, no… But the best this town has to offer.

I recently moved to Colorado, and one of my biggest fears was not being able to replace my stylist. Whom I loved. I am very picky about who I let near my hair with scissors. I used to have hair to my knees and am currently trying to grow it longer again, so an inch off feels like A LOT to me. To test the salon out I went in for just a bang trim. I LOVE the look of the salon. So sleek and trendy. My bang trim went well, I wasn’t pressured into trying to go shorter or (buy anything). I was pleased to I made an appoint for a hair cut.
First off this salon, has beer. Yeah you read that right. You can drink a locally brewed beer while you get hair cut. I’ve died and gone to heaven.
You’re given a salon services menu when you arrive, and you pick what kind wash you need. (Dry hair, colored hair etc).
My stylist took me early and I had no wait, I had some pictures on Pininterst I wanted to show her. I was looking for bangs that were taken from a little further back than mine are (making them thicker but keeping them sweeping), and more layers adding shorter top layers. (I specifically said shorter top layers and more choppy). But for some reason she said something like «I’m not going to add those right now into your hair». :-\ I don’t know why I didn’t ask why, I’m normally VERY vocal.
The Zen Wash Room is AMAZING, but I agree this is where the sales pitch starts. If I want to know what products you are using I’ll ask so I can buy them. I don’t like feeling pressured.
While combing my hair out and blow drying again I was pushed a product (which I did end up buying because it makes hair dry faster). But, I don’t like feeling pressured, (All that needed to be said was something like «This serum is pretty cool it makes hair dry faster»).
I liked my hair cut but, it wasn’t as choppy as I wanted, and bangs weren’t as short as I wanted. At check out I got told what shampoo and conditioner was used and that my stylist thought I should use it. I REALLY don’t like this tactic. If I want products I’ll ask for them. It makes me feel uncomfortable and pressured.
I will be back and continue to use them, for the price they are amazing. They have levels of stylist raging from 1 – 5. 1 Stylists are cheapest, but even the 5 stylists are totally sensible prices.
