Studio N

Got my hair cut by Natalie and she did a great job! She listened to what I wanted and did exactly that! The salon is located in a nice area, parking is good, and the salon is clean and decorated pretty cool. I would recommend going here, I will be returning to Natalie!

I love love this place! Being from California and already having a preferred person to do my hair made a bit reluctant to try this place. But I was getting tired if holding my hair Maitenance for every time I went back home.
This place is nestled in a charming strip mall next to flying star. The studio is clean, modern and has a nice view of the trees and the passer by’s. The people here all pretty friendly for the most part and will have have a nice conversation while wait for my hair to finish dying.
I go to Aura and this girl is the BOMB! I have never met a hair stylist that is good with cutting, dying AND blow drying. She is the triple threat :) seriously! If I ever move back home I know without a doubt that I would be coming back to NM just to get my hair done lol. Aura does not go scissor happy so when I leave I am not crying because my hair was cut too short. I also love the way she styles and blow dries my hair… I have NEVER seen anyone do that. There some people who do my hair and when I get home I just want to use the flat iron to re do the style.
Pricing … It may be pricey for some, I guess I’m use to the California up charge lol. But when aura does my hair she will be working on it for up to 3 + hours so when I think of the cost it is very fair. Plus my hair is really really long and therefore taking up almost the whole day.
I really like this place, great environment and great hair stylist.

Bought the groupon and decided to give this place a shot today. I had my hair cut by Laura. She did a great job, exactly what I wanted but better. The atmosphere is pretty cool and modern. I will definitely be back.

First off, parking is reasonable. Second, if you manage to come early, then you may be able to grab a bite at Flying Star next door or even after to show off your new hair cut or color.
Third, this was my first visit here back in June. The studio is located in a plaza. The salon itself has an open concept theme; there are floor to ceiling glass (?) walls on two sides of the salon that capture plenty of natural light (see photos).
Lastly, my colorist recently moved from another location (near UNM); I followed her. Her skills with highlights and color are the result of years of experience. She is professional and courteous. She has been my colorist for well over 3 years now and I travel over 2 hours to have her do my hair! So, if you’re looking for a new colorist or need a change, seek out Aura.

I bought the groupon for a $ 22 haircut, shampoo, and blowout. Can’t beat any other price than that! Haha My last haircut was about 3 months ago in California. I was iffy who to find in Albuquerque to cut my hair. Bridgett is the girl who cut my hair and she did a fabulous job with my thick hair, layering it out to make it lighter! No more dead weight! It was quite a relief!
Overall I had a good experience and read the other reviews on here. I suppose it depends what you want but be more detailed to not have a bad experience.
Pros: Unique salon has a vintage look to it. You’re in a nice area between ABQ and Corrales with the nice scenery outside to look at while getting a haircut. They use organic hair products, smells amazing!
Cons: None! :)

I got my hair done today and I had a great experience. I purchased a groupon for a cut and partial highlights. Bridget was my stylist. She listened to everything I said and always asked questions and double checked with me before she did anything. I got a trim and bayalage color. I had to pay a little bit extra because I needed extra fools for the highlights. My hair came out great! I have not been able to stop looking in the mirror. It is definitely a change and I haven’t gotten used to it yet but Bridget did a great job. I would absolutely recommend this salon. Not only did I get a great deal but I got a great new do as well!

I saw the other reviews after I bought the groupon. And I’m glad I did it that way rather than the other because I liked this place. I’ve admired it’s trendiness from the patio of the Flying Star next door and often wondered what kind of person could go there.
Aura cut my hair, she was meticulous, she helped me work out what I would like and offered suggestions regarding my cut. The Groupon was well worth it and I’ll go back without one. The space is clean, modern and you may feel somewhat voyeuristic with the large windows.
I read that others felt it took too long to cut their hair. I noticed his too, but I would rather it take longer and be a better cut, it’s not supercuts you know. I’ve had super fast cuts with the stylist not paying attention like at La Bella down the street in 20 minutes and paid as much or more and felt like I was just robbed… so I’m okay with this.
The shop sends you emails hoping you’ve enjoyed your services and really is deeply concerned by your thoughts regarding the experience.

Ok this is my second review for this place. I really wish I had read the review from B.M. Marissa cut my hair… yes it took for ever, she did do a nice job until it came to my bangs. I just emailed the salon… lets see if I hear back from them.
My bangs are WAY TOO SHORT!!! and worse yet crooked… I asked for sweeping bangs these are not I look ridiculous! She styled my hair so that I couldn’t see they were so short/​crooked. I didn’t notice this until I was home.
so long story short. ask for the owner when you get your hair cut here.
UPDATE 8÷18÷13
I received an email from the Owner, Nam, this morning. He apologized and asked me to come in and he will fix the issue. (I’m not sure how bc the bangs are still too short.) He has offered me my next haircut with himself.
I am glad I emailed the salon. Hopefully I can once again change my review to a positive.
I will update…
