Great place to get great hair and nails. She can get hair done properly and provide great service. Knowledgeable in doing it all, and as they say, you get what you pay for.

Small, exquisite two employee salon with a stylist and nail specialist. Owner Denise is a color specialist and excels with blonde hair. Fun, chic place that's enjoyable to get prettified in. Denise knows all of her clients well and does excellent work. Unfortunately, the nail specialist isn't taking any new clients. I really love coming here and look forward to a fun and relaxing time with Denise. I highly recommend her ESPECIALLY if you have blonde hair or wish to go blonde.

The picture will say it all. She did an amazing job!! I love my new hair and Denise was pleasant to talk to the whole time. She even did foils all the way through unlike some other stylists that only will do the top portion. Thank you again for making it so beautiful!

I was texting with Denise prior to our appt and told her that it has been at least 7 months since I last had my hair done, and that I wanted a balayage/babylights and wanted to go as light as reasonably possible. She responded and said she would give me some options but never did. When I got to her studio, she never once mentioned or asked any further about what I wanted to do with my hair. Every single person has always asked before starting. I guess she didn't care to know what I wanted. But she had great reviews so I trusted her. Since I'm a first time client with at least 7 months of growth, one might think it's like practically starting from scratch right? I was prepared for it to be like that of a first time appt because that's what it was. Denise, however, did not prepare and winged it. I could tell she was already rushing halfway through and it was honestly making me nervous. Needless to say, my hair was fried, more than it had ever been after any bleach job in the past and I looked like a hyena with different shades of bleached, patchy spots and harsh lines. It was a botched job. Sure, she offered to fix it, as she should, but gaslighted me in her response as if it was my hair's fault that she did a poor job or that she had no idea prior that it had been that long. Would you let that person touch your hair again? No thank you. She never responded to my request for a refund. She admitted herself it should have been a 4.5 hr job. How do you miss the mark by 2.5 hrs though? Her after pictures might look decent on the surface, but if I put my hair half up like I like to do, that would have been embarrassing. She would have known that though if she asked before starting and saved us both the trouble. I had to pay someone else $300+ for Denise's negligence. She even kept the tip.

I have been going to Denise for 7 years now, which feels crazy to say! Originally, I found Denise through Yelp, for my mom, who was turning 40 at the time and was in need of a hair refresh for her new chapter of life. I was only 15 or 16, and I began by only getting haircuts from her. I always swore up and down to myself that I'd never change my natural long blonde hair- but temptation in seeing Denise's beautiful work definitely won me over, and I'm so grateful it did! I am 23 now, and there aren't many colors left that I and Denise haven't done. My hair has been a talking piece and a point of compliment for my entire time getting my hair done by her, and let me tell you what- there is no better feeling! Not only have I found an incredibly talented and experienced person whom I trust my hair with, but I've also grown to love Denise all things hair aside. She is a safe space to sit your butt down after a long day/week/month etc. and just be. She is warm, and inviting, and has a beautiful and true heart. I am so grateful for her friendship through these years, and I am so grateful for the confidence my hair has inspired through the years. I cannot imagine going anywhere else!

Denise is the best! As someone who's been dying her hair blonde for almost 8 years, I can confidently say that she is the best hairdresser/ blonde specialist I've ever been to. She works so quickly and carefully- it comes out looking perfect every time!! The space is beautiful and clean and Denise really goes the extra mile to make her clients feel taken care of and comfortable

Thank you for constantly giving me exactly what I want for both cut and color - Denise is the blonde queen of Reno! Hands down. I often get asked if my hair is natural, I'll leave it at that!

So ever since my purple ombre, I have been going to Denise for my colorful hair for over 8 years now. I have had every color imaginable now. Denise is amazing and so I let her paint my hair after telling her if I want to go dark or bright for my colors. I always get compliments on my hair and it's always fun to see what color combinations she will come up with. Highly recommend of you want fun colorful hair that's tastefully done.

I've been going to Denise for over 6 years now! She's the only hair stylist I trust to keep my hair blonde and fabulous. She still has one of the best personalities of any stylist I've been too. She takes her time and makes sure your hair perfect before walking out the door.

Denise is a hair wizard. I have insanely thick hair and I've tried tons of stylists, but rarely can anyone deal with my insane mop. I've had her cut my hair long, pixie and in-between and it's always amazing. And it also manages to look good even when I put zero effort into styling. Her highlight work is gorgeous. I can't imagine ever having anyone else do my hair.

I met Denise back in 2015. I was searching for someone who could bring me my dream hair for my wedding. She exceeded my expectations and converted me into a forever client. Last year, I lost my incredible husband to brain cancer. Denise was there with me as I externally worked through my grief with a physical representation of my emotional pain, on my head. I wanted it (three years of hard work growing it out and making it the perfect blonde) chopped off, and dark with reds and purples. I needed to be unrecognizable; to hide in plain sight. Denise was there for it. She took me all the way to the other side of the color spectrum. And then, when I started to heal and to come back out of my depression, she was there working her magic and using her years of hard earned experience to help me come back. The collage is just a small sampling of all the change. Denise is truly amazing, inside and out. She is one of the most talented hair artists I have ever met and she is one of my favorite people to boot. It just doesn't get better than that. Thank you Denise, for everything!

If you want to leave the salon feeling like a whole brand new person I promise you that is exactly what will happen every time. This girl has saved my hair time and time again. From bleaching my own hair and frying it off, to dying it brown and having to go completely 360, she makes it happen every time. I always feel like a princess when I leave! Highly recommend to EVERYONE!

I started coming to Denise almost a year ago. I relocated from CO and needed a new stylist. I looked online at reviews and decided this was where I wanted to go. I couldn't be happier with that decision! Denise is a really great hair stylist and a great person. If you want to leave feeling gorgeous, Denise is your person.

After not having my hair done in almost 2 years now(thank you quarantine); I desperately needed to get a cut & color for my crazy long head of hair! Denise was able to get me in for a much needed appointment(bless her heart) and the end results were stunning as always! Denise is always super helpful in deciding what I should do and it turns out better than I imagined every time. Her salon is very inviting and her great conversation just makes the time fly by! I would highly recommend Studio 1221 and Denise's hair expertise-seriously the best!
