Brian Guy Studio 14

Brian is a genius when it comes to hair color and cut. I’ve been to many hair salons — from South Beach to San Francisco and nearly every one has wanted me to go bleach blonde.
His haircuts and color last 3 – 4 months before I have to go back, look incredibly natural and are a delight to get.

This is my first review on Unilocal even though I have been an avid Unilocal user for years. That’s how much this means to me. I went to 2 other hair stylists and spent over $ 300 each time to get my hair colored darker. Each time they only touched up my roots and highlights and did not address the change. I was told that I would have to come in for toning treatments several times and yet it would
take 2 or 3 visits before they could get my color to where I wanted it to be. I found this salon on Unilocal and had my skepticism when I first entered. It wasn’t the fancy salons that I had been going to previously and I hoped they could deliver on their word. The entire treatment took under 2 hours (including cut) and it was exactly what I had hoped for. Gina did an amazing job with the color and cut and it was amazing! Also, it was more reasonable than I expected which made it so much sweeter. I am happy to give this salon 5 stars and will definitely be back.

It was my first time coloring my hair, but boy should I say I had a wonderful experience.
Gina is hands down the best stylist. She cut my hair exactly the length I wanted and her work on my hair coloring was fabulous. I’m in love with my hair color right now. I would definitely recommend Gina and Brian Guy studio.

I am very glad to have found this place. I got my hair cut and styling done by Brian and let me tell you he knows what he is doing… he is amazing at his job! I absolutely recommend Brian to get a hair cut… he will suggest you what will suit your hair and accordingly perform the hair cut! Thanks Brian! I am always going to get a hair cut by you…

I found Brian Guy Studio on Unilocal and made a reservation online with Gina. It was quick and easy to make a reservation online. I also received an email confirmation and a reminder notification.
The studio was clean. Brian and Gina were very attentive. I described what I wanted and Gina did exactly what I wanted! She took her time to carefully cut my hair. She also did a great job on matching the color of my hair for the touch-​up. I finally found a hair stylist close by that I would come back to.

Bye bye virgin hair
For the longest time I’ve been wanted to balayage my hair and thank goodness for Unilocal.If it wasn’t for Unilocal I wouldn’t have been brought to Brian to dye my hair. Absolutely in love with it. I set up an appointment with Brian and he absolutely understood what I wanted. I told him that I didn’t want any blonde and to keep it natural but still have an appearance of change in my hair color. And surely enough, it was executed beautifully. I couldn’t be any happier and I definitely recommend Brian!

I made an appointment but mistakenly put in the wrong date but Kim and Brian were really accommodating and managed to squeeze me in. Got an amazing hair cut by Kim. If you have naturally curly hair, she is definitely the hairstylist you need in your life! She’s one of the few hairstylists that understand that if you have curly hair, you can’t cut it to the exact length that a client indicated because when curly hair dries, it will curl upwards making the length way shorter than what the client wants. Her prices are very reasonable too. Hair cut, wash and style was $ 45. Will definitely have my hair cut by her again! THANKS KIM!

Brian is a miracle worker. He has the idea of mixing my color with a few highlights so that it looks super natural and due to the highlights you can’t see the roots growing out quickly. That means that I can make my coloring intervals longer. Also, he is the fastest hairstylist I’ve ever been to without sacrificing quality. He focuses on one client at a time and I’m always done in barely over an hour. I also love that he uses high quality products and takes care of small details like making sure to protect your skin from getting color stains. Brian is very talented, and his expert advice on cuts never fails. I have never walked out there unhappy. He’s a keeper.

Alright, after my previous review, Brian personally contacted me, apologized, and offered to cut my hair himself. Since I already chopped it off myself and liked the final look, I declined, but I am very impressed by the offer. What other salon does this? I’ve never heard of such a thing.
My friend decided to go check out the place also. She made sure to get her hair cut by Brian, a short hair cut and it came out very well done.
If I ever go back, I’ll make sure to make my appointment with Brian. He’ll make sure I leave happy.

He is the best and fast
satisfying visit, first i was quite nervous going to a new salon, but the friendly hemisphere in the room definitely opened me up, Brian is very friendly and so do the other hairstylist, my hair came out the exactly way i wanted in my mind. Definitely coming back. Thanks Brian!

Can I just say how in love I am with my hair cut?! Thank you SO much Kim! I had my hair done by her tonight (Thursday) and I’m amazed by how detailed she was about the length and type of cut I wanted. She really listened to what I really wanted especially coming from a person that’s always been scared and nervous about having my hair cut in general. I’ve always had my hair long and decided to change it up for once and go way shorter. She was very detailed during the process and never once made me feel nervous about the length I was getting myself into. So thank you Kim. Can’t wait to see you very soon!
By the way, this was my first time going to her and I’m so glad I found this place and her through my fellow Unilocalers!

4^th visit. Brian is an absolute master of cut and color, and makes my limited amount of hair look fabulous! Just love the man and his skills.

I had this place bookmarked for a couple of months and decided to finally give it a try! I only go to one specific person to do my hair so I was really worried how I would feel about going to a new place, but I’m so happy I came here!
I made a last minute appointment online (which was really easy and convenient) and got my haircut the next day! The inside is a little confusing but you have to walk all the way to the back where there’s a #14 sign.
This place is really nice and clean, and Brian is very friendly! Not only does he listen to what kind of cut you’d like, but he also makes great suggestions/​recommendations! Initially, my hair was long and all the same length so I asked him what I should do to change it up. He suggested long bangs and light layers, and I love the results! I have very thick hair, but he was done in 40 minutes! You can tell he’s a professional by the way he cuts your hair — very fast and precise. $ 55 is a reasonable price for shampoo, blow dry, cut, and style.
The only thing that bugged me a bit was that he would pick up the phone in the middle of my cut. Otherwise, give this place a try if you’re looking to get a haircut!

Thank you Gina! Love my new do :)
This was my first time here and it blew away my expectations. I made a reservation online and it was quick and easy and I quickly got an email confirmation. I also got a reminder notification and the instructions were clear.
I was confused at first when it said Sola salon but it quickly made sense after I walked in and saw the slew of other salons. Brian Guy is in the back corner. Everything looked clean and Brian and Gina greeted me and I was well on my way.
I described what I wanted and Gina somehow read my mind and did exactly what I wanted! Sure, you’re thinking, well duh you told her what you wanted. BUT I’ve done that many times before but still walk out with something to be desired. This was the first time it was EXACTLY what I wanted and had pictured in my head.
thank you Gina!

I found Brian on Unilocal doing some hunting of a great place to get my hair done. I usually get foils for bleach, and if you know anything about getting your hair bleached you’ll know it’s hard to find someone who can handle it well and have it turn out great with no tiger stripes and making it look natural. I also was nervous to cut my hair it’s always been long and I wanted a fresh start and chop a bunch off. Brian made me feel very comfortable and communicated with me about exactly what his vision was for my hair. I showed him a few pictures of the length and color I wanted. And I am absolutely in love with the finished product! It’s better then I could of ever imagined. I’m so happy with my choice of coming to his salon. Thank you so much! I definitely recommend this salon for others and will be returning in the future.

First time in a long time getting highlights again. After searching on Unilocal I wanted to get reasonably affordable but natural highlights in the OC area and stumbled upon Brian’s salon so decided to give it a try. Husband and I arrived at location (it is inside the SOLA SALON complex that houses a myriad of different boutique salons) and found Brian almost at the end. He offered us water or a Heini, we chose the latter, got red-​faced as we waited and the husband got in for his haircut while I got my hair highlighted. Husband was done with a great sexy ‘do and he left to get boba and walk around while I got pretty. The balyage came out amazingly natural but still very ombré like. It was a great marriage between two styles I wanted to try. It was also very affordable and I would definitely come back in five months to keep going lighter, as was expertly suggested for my hair. Thanks guys! You guys are all so awesome!

Feeling pampered this great afternoon! Thank you Brian! The perfect trim I needed, and you finally reminded me that my hair has the potential to be more than just a ponytail if it wants to be. We shared a love for yoga and food. Can’t get much better than that.
I’ll be back for your fun attitude and a great value!

Happy… Happy…Thank you so much!!! I love what you did to my hair. Brian is fast friendly, honest, and knows what he is doing. I was done in less time than expected. I am new to the area and thought it was going to be hard to find the right stylist, but I was lucky to find Brian.
don’t forget to call and book your appointment! Again, Thank You Brian!

I wanted to get my hair done but my regular stylist was booked till next year. :(
Found Brian through Unilocal and decided to try him out after reading all of his great reviews.
The place is a little difficult to find but just look for a sign that says SOLA SALON, go in through the doors (doesn’t matter left or right) and all the way down the hall is his little studio.
He started with a consultation and strayed me away from the silver/​grey ombré that I originally wanted. I came out with a more natural and healthier look. His price is reasonable and he is really quick… I was there for 2 hours and he cut and styled at least 4 men while I was letting the dye sit.

This really is as good as it gets! Gina is such a gem and is really talented. She was able to take my brassy/​orange blonde ombré to a stunning and subtle icy blonde balayage which I LOVE! I made the appointment ONLINE just a couple days prior which is so convenient for those of you professionals like me, who don’t always have time to make a call.
The atmosphere is great and casual and Gina was even able to chat with me the whole time even though there were several steps in the process to fix my hair. Brian had an appointment mid-​way though mine and he was also very friendly and seemed to really know his craft from how he was helping the gal in his chair.
On top of all that, they are extremely fair in pricing– I would have paid more for the service I received here. Will definitely be coming back– and feeling great after my color and cut!
Thank you Gina and Brian Guy Studio 14!
