Ceco Studio

Absolutely wonderful experience! I had my hair cut by Steven and he did an amazing job. The atmosphere was very welcoming and comforting. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone looking.

LOVE this salon! Have been going for years. Quality stylists, quality products, relaxing environment!

**** Somehow my review got erased, which seems a little odd to me. Anyway, I love Ceco, so here we go again:
I love Ceco! I have been a client of Ceco for the past six years, and I have never had a bad experience. I’ve really enjoyed working with Rachel– she does such a great job and I trust her completely. She is an excellent stylist! In fact, a bunch of my friends and family go to her now because she is so good. We had our bridal party hair done there, and all of the stylists did a great job on a big wedding party. I’ve always found the staff at Ceco to be extremely helpful with scheduling appointments, buying products, etc. I’ve never been greeted with anything other than a smile. I worked at hair salon previously, so I know what to expect, and Ceco provides excellent service! I’ve tried other Aveda salons in Richmond in the past, but I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Ceco is great, especially Rachel. Five stars all the way!

I was super excited about trying out this place in Carytown. What a nice way to relax on Friday afternoon at 5:15pm after a long work week… or so i thought. It was a good thing my boyfriend had won a gift certificate to ceco for a free mani & peni, the only comforting thing about my experience was the aveda tea i chugged when i sat in the pedicure chair. the nail technician asked ME to take off my nail polish while i was relaxing in the pedi chair (not much relaxing happening at this point) I had shellac previously on my nails so i soaked them for about 20 minutes with acetone and then she handed me a scraper to remove the rest of the polish. Oh and when i say she asked me, it was more like instructed me to do so as they only allow 30 minutes for the appointment and if i didn’t do it, we’d go over the allotted time. after the sub-​par pedicure, i hobbled to the manicure station, at which point, i wanted to hobble right out of the salon to my car. but it was free, so i thought what the heck. the manicure was even worse, with my nails being literally chopped (the word she used) unevenly and me asking her 3 times to do my cuticles. I mean, i get my nails done 1 – 2 times a month and HAVE NEVER had to ask for this certain step to be done in a manicure. she clearly didn’t know how to cut cuticles. i’m grateful i still have the skin around my nails at this point. she was chatting, i was half listening until she said something about being pregnant. and i said «what did you just say» and she said well aren’t you pregnant?! i was like huh!!! inappropriate and from one woman to another, i believe that is something you never inquire about. to top it off, they don’t have nail dryers so she asked me to wave my nails around in the air. if someone has had a great experience here worth sharing, i’d love to hear it. otherwise, i will be spreading the word about how terrible my experience was. i spoke to the manager on the way out explaining the unpleasant experience all around and that i would not be leaving a tip nor be back ever.
