Love it here!! I went to Studio B after I got a terrible hair cut at another salon where I went in with long hair for a trim and came out with short hair with terrible layers. Everyone here was so friendly and helped me feel 100% better. My hair was fixed up and I now actually love it.. The product they carry is also amazing. I would absolutely recommend this place!

Today was my second time at Studio B and I love this spot!
Both times I've been in the staff near the door look up to smile when I walk in and the receptionist has immediately welcomed me, offered coffee, etc.
After going wayyyyy too long without a cut and colour this time, I am so pleased with the final result! Arran mixed a bit of red into a dark mahogany and the colour is perfect for fall!
Arran is particularly great if you're not endowed with thick hair, like me. She also has fine hair and knows hot to cut to maximize volume/style.
My one gripe would be: no head massage either

Friendly staff and great hair cuts! I've had my hair cut here twice and love my new style. I went a little shorter last time and I didn't like the cut as much but my hairdresser which I forgot her name but she is a petite blonde with pink hues in her hair, well she cuts a medium bob perfectly. Also they do free bang and neck clean ups. This place is on par with other studios and isn't cheap but you get what you pay for. I recommend this place and will be back.

My experience a Studio B was flawless. I've been meaning to book an appointment here for ages, ever since my friend Rebecca (who has outstanding hair!) brought me along on a couple of her appointments.
After a couple of years of red hair, I decided it was time to treat myself and change my look a bit. Knowing the girls here do a fantastic colour I called and was able to book with Amy just two days in advance, which was awesome.
When I arrived I was greeted warmly by their lovely front desk attendant (whose name I wish I had gotten - she was super sweet!) and was asked if I could like anything

Really like this place but it's difficult to get an appointment, there's a high staff turnover, and they're not very good at returning calls. I've been a regular customer since last June and Keats look forward to my appointments with Arran. Her darling Maltese , Bruce, sits happily in my lap while she cuts my hair. We've done adventurous and medium-adventurous things with my pixie cut, and I'm always satisfied. Arran also encourages clients to drop in for a free touch up. I ran into a problem with this with one if her stylists who charged me 40$ after I told her I

The owner, Arran, has been my stylist for over six years - I've followed her everywhere and was so thrilled when she set up her own business with Studio B a few years ago. She's unbelievably talented -- and the only person who gives me a cut that I get compliments on from the day I walk out of the salon to six or more weeks after it's done! I have actually been stopped in the street.
The vibe in this place is so friendly -- the stylists are all super cool but there's no attitude. I loooove that they really listen and respect everyone's own style -- so you'll see someone

I really can't recommend this place enough! Studio B has a great atmosphere - definitely on the funky side - and these ladies really know their stuff.
I was looking for a bit of an unusual cut, with unnatural colours. It's tough to find a place that does those sorts of looks, and even tougher to have them done well.
My haircut was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. It looks great! I've had nothing but compliments. And the colour (hot pink on top, natural black on the sides) was beautifully done. With my dark hair it's tricky to bleach it without causing damage,

I've been to Studio B twice and each time I've been super impressed with my experience. The staff is super friendly and I was offered a hot beverage immediately upon my arrival. My appointment was with Amy who managed to turn my kind of vague instructions into an awesome and unique haircut. The price for a cut was about $60, which is super reasonable for a salon of that quality and I was told that trimming in between cuts is complementary. I'd recommend it for someone who is looking for something kinda edgy or someone who just wants a trim; the times I've been, I've seen

I had heard about Studio B through my best friends who go there to get their hair done by Arran -- head stylist and owner. I took their advice and headed there one evening as I was looking to get my hair done. I have somewhat of an edgier longer haircut and I wanted to keep it that way. I entered the salon and was greeted by very friendly staff. The venue is very quirky yet stylish. It has almost a Toronto or bigger city type feel to it. It's definitely one of a kind in Ottawa. I got my hair done by a younger girl who was able to converse with me the entire time and I was listening to good
