Thanks Debbie....

by au1589 at Citysearch

I have thick shoulder length hair with a little gray. My hair has always been hard to handle but lately out of control. My old stylist just kept doing the same old thing. I decided to try looking on City Search, I have used them when I travel but this was the first time for a salon. My entire experience was wonderful. The Place is beautiful and Debbie gave me a layered new look that everyone loves including my husband.

Love the new location!

by amyandtodd at Citysearch

The new location is super convenient and very nice. I have been getting my hair colored there for several months now and am always happy with the end result. The staff is very accomodating, friendly, and they do a great job of listening to what your goals are. I've left feeling and looking fantastic everytime. I would highly recommend the Hair Studio if you are looking for a top-notch salon in San Antonio.

Best cut I've received!

by CynthiaDavila at Citysearch

I recently had a bad cut that I lived with for 2 months before I decided to try and find a new salon. I saw this salon rated on citysearch and decided to try it. When I called the receptionist was incredibly helpful in finding me a stylist who could cut curly hair and set me up with a stylist named Patricia. Patricia had curly hair, so she knew what it was like, and gave me a beautiful hair-cut! FINALLY!! the one stylist who got it right! It was exactly what I wanted and I didn't even have to spend hours explaining it to her. She noticed my hair was cut unevenly and assured me that everything would be fixed, and it was. The salon itself is beautiful and everyone is so very friendly. I would recommend this salon to anyone looking for great customer service and a beautiful new look.

• Pros: ambience, customer service, parking
• Cons: can't find the building!

Sensational Salon!

by Shopgirl1979 at Citysearch

I was new to the area and was desperately seeking a "go to" hair stylist with no luck. (previous encounters I had at other salons included razored hair "to thin" my hair and not really listening to what I wanted aka interesting highlights or Ronald McDonald hair). I read about Hair Studio Sonterra on Citysearch and thought I would give it a try. I had Melissa, who does great hair! She took time to explain everything in detail with me before doing my hair and was very thorough. She did exactly what I wanted. ( I had brought in a picture and she duplicated the look) The whole time she was very kind and answered any questions I had. Everyone at the salon was very friendly and welcoming. I am grateful to finally find a salon and a hair stylist I can trust! Melissa you are the best! :-)

• Pros: great hairstylist, friendly atmosphere, great location, great products
• Cons: a little pricey- but you get what you pay for

Hair Studio Sonterra

by spanky51 at Citysearch

I can not recommend this salon enough. From the friendly staff to the great cut, it was all good. Melissa did exactly what I wanted and showed me step by step how to achieve the look I was going for. After two days my hair still looks good and I can style it myself. Big plus for me. In the past I leave the salon looking good, but once I shampoo it's all down hill from there. My hair has never looked better. I've been looking for a salon close to home and I have found it. Thanks Melissa, your the best.

• Pros: great cut, friendly staff, great stylist who knows what she is doing
• Cons: it's a little expensive

Thank you, Shellie!

by katilusa at Citysearch

I just went to Hair Studio for the first time to fix the worst cut I've ever received (Regis Salon at La Cantera - Tonya). Shellie was so accommodating, and squeezed me in last minute to help me get it fixed. She was quick and efficient, without sacrificing the quality of the style. One of the best cuts I've received in a while! I highly recommend this salon and Shellie as a stylist!

• Pros: Great cut, Great customer service
• Cons: None... I'm so happy!

Awesome!

by catbmw15 at Citysearch

I have had my hair done at many places in San Antonio in the last few weeks because of one bad hair job. After being disappointed repeatedly, I actually left this salon happy AND with turning heads! Debbie from Hair Studio darkend my hair from yellow blonde to a darker natural blonde with a tone that she reccomended for my skin. Also, my hair was very fragile and dead looking, so she took that into account when coloring my hair with a semi-permanent. From the moment that you walk into the door they are super friendly, especially the owner. It was a great hair experience and Debbie will listen to you and will make sure she knows exactly what you want, as well as deliver your desired result! She's so sweet and quick! Definitely Reccomend her!

• Cons: a little expensive

Quick Stylish Cuts for Men Too!

by bestchampeva at Citysearch

This place is a little bit pricy compared to most places ($25 for a guy cut w/ no wash) but thats because you get a quality hair cut by experienced stylists. I got a faux-hawk by Debbie Jo and she finished everything in 15 minutes! She was very nice and I highly recommend her to any guy or girl who wants a quality cut. She gave me exactly the look I was going for and I'm extremely happy with my new cut.

My only 2 complaints were:

1. A shampoo doesn't come with a standard haircut like at my prior stylist

2. A cleanup brush was not used afterwards on me so I had hair in my ears, on my shirt, on my face etc.

Neither of these were a big deal but I definitely would've enjoyed my experience more if these came standard for all cuts. Great experience overall though.

• Pros: Friendly Staff, Quality Haircuts, Quick Service
• Cons: A Little Bit Pricy, No Wash With Standard Cut, No Post Brush When Cut Is Done

Excellent cut and color--very hard to find in one stylist!

by ericaleigh66 at Citysearch

Excellent cut and color--very hard to find in one stylist! I, too, went to a Stone Oak salon with Charles in the name and when I arrived home, realized that my 'one-length' hair had not been cut to any one-length by the master stylist and was so bad that I had to trim it myself. I've been o several Aveda salons in the area, as they were always very reliable in the Northeast-not the case in San Antonio>

If you are looking for an excellent stylist, I highly recommend Yvonne at Hair Studio Sonterra. She took the time to be sure the color we selected in our consultation was exactly what I wanted and explained all of what she was doing throughout the cut and color. I could not have been happier..

• Pros: Experienced stylist explained everything and was very friendly
• Cons: Location not what you'd expect for a nice salon

The Most Talented Stylist EVER!

by KristaTX at Citysearch

It had been a while since I had my hair professionally highlighted (foiled). The last 2 times I visited an "upscale salon" (begins with Kay & ends with Charles) my concerns and requests were not heard nor were they even acknowledged. You would think with the prices they charge you would have at least SOME say-so. Instead of being convinced by expensive advertising & overpriced products, I decided I would find a new salon online by reading feedback from real, local people on the web - enter City Search & The Best Of Salons. Long story short, I got an appointment at Hair Studio for the very next day because the stylist had a cancellation!! I explained to the receptionist that I needed a foil highlight by someone who was good with color and even better with fine, thin hair. Yvonne IS THE stylist and truly an artist at her craft. She had a lot of obstacles to overcome with my hair, but I walked out with not only the most beautiful, natural foil color highlights & new hair design, but with newfound confidence that cannot be bought from a place that doesn't put their scissors where their "spa type" advertising mouths are. All the ladies were down-to-earth friendly, had wonderful attitudes and were genuinely interested in their chosen careers. I'm so very impressed with Hair Studio Sonterra and even more so with my new hair stylist!!!! Thanks Yvonne - Your the BEST and I'm so pleased to have met such a talented professional that I can call "MY" beautician who obviously has a passion for her work!

• Pros: Talented Artists
• Cons: Wish I knew of this salon sooner!
