Had Sarah do my hair for the first time last week, and let me tell you the whole experience was simply amazing. Walking into the salon was so warm and welcoming. Sarah is a true genius. A hair whisperer even!! I gave her a picture of what I thought I wanted, but after seeing the end result, it was so much more than the picture and I couldn't be happier. I'm absolutely in love with my new rainbow hair. Thank you Sarah, can't wait to set up my next appointment!!

I am 53, almost 54 years old, and this is literally the best haircut I have ever had. I washed my hair this morning, combed it for like 15 seconds, and then proceeded to put it up in a clip for the rest of the day. (I was doing a bunch of stuff where I needed my hair out of my face.) Now, almost 12 hours later, I took it down and combed it, and...my hair looks like I spent an hour styling it. The name "Genius Studios" is not just a name. Sarah is a bona fide genius when it comes to hair.

I've had the same haircut almost my whole life and told her I wanted something different. Gave her creative freedom and she did an amazing job. I have very long and thick hair, which is hard for a lot of stylists, and she managed it no problem. I will be making her my normal stylist from now on.

I hesitate to share how amazing my experience with Sarah was because I want to be able to get in to see her easily, and I feel like the word is getting out. I had my first cut with her this morning and feel like I've found my holy Grail. Sarah and her salon are unpretentious, warm, and fun. She listened to what I was wanting and then- I guess-directly communicated with my hair which told her what to do. I just watched as she gave my hair exactly the vibe it wanted, knowing I will be able to easily keep it looking good on my own. She really, really knows what she's doing and is priced very fairly. I wasn't looking for color but will definitely hit her up for some brights when I am. Check her out (but don't so she doesn't get too popular!) ❤️

I have been with Sarah for over 12 yrs. She is an artist with color and hair design. I’m a physician and require a professional look. However, I appreciate a young look as well. As a Latina it is very important for my hair to be vibrant and well done. Sarah brings the entire hair package together! I love Sarah and am very appreciative of her artistic skills! She is a rare find and a true Diamond amongst stylists/colorists! Dr Tina
