Studio She

I met Christina Jones in January of 2014. I called to get a consult on having extensions done after a horrible hair cut. Unfortunately my hair was cut too short and nothing could be done but to let it grow. She spent 45 minutes with me consoling me about my hair. By the end of the consultation she had me laughing and we came up with a plan moving forward. I have been seeing her every 7 weeks ever since. While in her salon I have seen a very determined business woman work hours on end creating beautiful extensions for her Etsy site. She puts her heart and soul into every set she makes. This is her passion. She is not only a creative artist but is legendary in her industry.
Before meeting Christina, I was your typical stylist hopper. I can now say that I am true to her and my hair has never looked better and has never been so healthy.
Thank you Christina for taking my call on that winter day when I needed reassurance that my hair would recover from that terrible haircut so long ago.

Let me start by saying that I have been coming to Studio She for 2+ years and I love CJ and the space itself. Not only does CJ rock my hair and show her true artistry every time I go to her (which is every 6 – 7 weeks), but she feeds my soul!
To speak to the prior reviews about studio she not answering or being available, I think it goes to show that just anyone can write a review online (myself included). Studio She is by appointment only and sometimes that means not getting an appointment. Part of getting amazing services is actually getting in the door. I would compare it to a great sought after restaurant. Everyone wants to get in and try the to die for stuffed mushrooms, but not everyone gets a reservation. Furthermore, I don’t book with CJs staff, I book directly with her. If she or I need to change an appointment, we communicate directly. She’s more than willing to reschedule with me, as necessary.
Studio She is the best ever! Like I’ve said a thousand times… if you find a good OB/​GYN or a good stylist, stick with them, drive to them because you’re not going to get the same service elsewhere.

Let me just start off by saying that this review is for customer service only — I can’t speak to the quality of the hair services or extensions, because we never actually got that far.
I’m getting married in March 2015 and Studio She came highly recommended by my wedding hairstylist for extension purchases for the big day. I called a month ago (end of October) to set up an appointment to visit the shop and pick out extensions in person. I called CJ (the owner’s) assistant directly on her cell phone, as she directed me to do via an Etsy message. We set the appointment for Nov. 22 at 9:30am (a month from the day I called).
I live in Arlington, VA but figured this place was worth the hour drive, so I woke up super early and headed to Frederick for my appointment this morning. The Studio only operates by appointment, so I wasn’t surprised to see it closed when I arrived at 9:15; I just figured they would open at 9:30 when they saw me. 9:40 came along, and no one had shown up. I called the salon’s direct dial, hoping that during off hours it was directed to someone’s cell, but no luck. I then called CJ’s assistant on her cell phone, twice, and left a voice mail. No luck, still. I decided to try texting CJ’s assistant, assuming once she saw the message she’d call back (I know I don’t always answer unknown numbers or listen to voicemails right away). She texted back within minutes and simply said that the owner had been stuck in NY since Thursday and would call me when she figured things out. I wrote back saying that I drove all the way from Arlington, couldn’t someone else just come meet me to show me the extensions? Now, 4 hours later, I still have not heard back. I understand that perhaps there isn’t anyone else to just come meet me, but to not answer my text at all? Knowing that I drove an hour to get to you? Ridiculous. And on top of that, still not a single phone call, from the owner or her assistant, to apologize for the inconvenience and confusion. If you’ve been stuck in NY since Thursday, why wasn’t I called? The assistant claims she didnt see my appointment anywhere, that’s even worse. I don’t care if your extensions are made from God’s hair himself, I will NOT be giving this place a second try, and none of you should bother giving it a first. Plenty of other professional salons in the area to chose from, with better ability to control their schedule and better customer service when mistakes are made.

This review is not for quality or work but for my inability to reach someone to make an appointment. I’ve called 3 times, once the voice mailbox was full, once I was able to leave a message, and once I hung up. I did not receive any call backs yet. It’s disappointing because the reviews are good and I’m really trying to find a place to get my first extensions. Hopefully I get a call back and I can update this review to 5 stars.

Had my haircut at Studio She by Emily. She listened to me about the kind of haircut I wanted and I got exactly what I asked for. They also didn’t try to push and sell me hair products which I appreciated. I will be back again.

Stylists at Studio She work collaboratively to plan your look and I have left feeling and looking better than I could have even imagined. .. every time! Let them be inspired by you and your story and walk out turning heads.

I had tape hair extensions installed early May 2012. I just had my 8 week maintenance appt and re-​installation and I can’t say enough good things about my extensions, Studio She, the owner, and my stylist. Everyone has always been friendly, either on the phone or in person and every question I’ve asked or concern I’ve had has been addressed. My stylist does a wonderful job on my hair (both color and tape extensions installation) and I absolutely love it. I’ve gotten many compliments on how nice it looks (something that has hardly ever happened to me my entire life as I have extremely thin and hard to grow hair). I did a lot of research on extensions and salons that offered them locally before finally deciding to get them done (I’ve been toying around with the idea of getting hair extensions for the past *FIVE* years and was scared of my natural hair being damaged so I’ve researched A LOT). I’m glad I settled on Studio She — I couldn’t be happier!
Update: I ended up keeping the tape extensions in for a year. I loved having them and my natural hair wasn’t damaged. After deciding to completely take them out, I got custom clip in extensions made for me by Studio She and they are so beautiful and of such great quality. I’ve continued to be very happy with my cuts/​color and I also visit the salon for special occasion styling/​makeup from time to time. Love it!
