I am a hairstylist myself, but not practicing any more. I have owned my own salon, taught future cosmetologists and have not let anyone touch my hair in about 10 years, other than to help me with extensions at times. But to cut and color it's been about 10 years. I put in the search field on yelp...best colorist in las vegas...Studio Bronze popped up along with a few others...I am super critical, I go through pictures and can usually point out everything that is wrong...but when I came to Studio Bronze I kept saying...wow...this is great. Great color, great placement...the cuts flow...and the ones I really kept enjoying were Alex's...so I made an appointment...it was my 45th birthday and I was ready for a change. I walked into a great cozy salon, was greeted by Alex...she sat me down and asked me again what I was looking for...she had texted me earlier in the week to check in and see what it was I was wanting...so she had an idea and we just reviewed when I came in. She did an amazing job. Took me from a dark brownish red, to a fun balayaged Brown to blonde. I was so happy when I left, when meeting her I wasn't nervous and I had no concerns. She made me feel very confident that I made the right decision picking her. I am going back next month, getting more color done and picking out extensions... :)my hair can't wait to see her again and I am looking forward to the extension appt. I am glad I found Alex and Studio Bronze!!
