I have had Kim for a few years. He was highly recommended among my friends. Since I first met him, I never go to another stylist. I have referred some of my friends and always only heard compliment from them!

I have had my hair styled with Stella more than 10 years, I have difficult hairs, and I am very picky with how my hair have been done. She always has the professionalism, manner and the skills that put me at ease right away. She is a true artist & an amazing hairstylist. I had a very satisfying experience @ Moods, really enjoyed the atmosphere as well. Whats more, Ive recommended this place to friends and co-workers and they all love the experience from Stella and her teams skills & talent, to the ambience, the warm and honest costumer service, the salon beautiful set up and location

Not very happy with the experience that I had today. I booked a specific hairstylist for hair cut and color service. However it was someone else dyed my hair actually. Nobody even was combing thru my hair before dying so that when the lady dyes my hair, she pulled my hair super hard to make the comb went thru. I was feeling painful and I could feel a lot of hair got pulled down. Also the color was not what I wanted.

The stylist had no clue about newer ways of cutting hair and did her job like we live in mid 60s. I went for a haircut and my stylist was Stella! She had three pictures of the hair style that I wanted on her phone. And said no problem. Yet, did a completely outdated and ugly cut and style on my hair. She forgot to touch a big chunk in front of my head. At the end when I told her that the style and cut was nothing like the one in the pictures that I wanted, she told me that my hair texture wasn't good for that style! As if she didn't see the photos or touch my hair beforehand! So unhappy with the

Backstage Hair Studio is a clean place - I have been there twice to cut my hair and I love the way that Toby took care of me. She is really attention to detail, asking if you're okay with what she is doing, even the water temperature which I really appreciate :) She is amazing, friendly, organized, multi-tasks and makes you comfortable. I never been disappointed by her creativity and services - I really recommend her and I won't change hairstylist !

I had my most satisfying haircut and styling with Toby. I had very stiff and coarse hair that challenges most hair dressers. That's the reason why I always switch to different hairstylists. Finally....... and I mean finally I found the GEM!! Toby with exceptional skills and experience, she is able to tackle my hair with ease! And not just that my hair stopped growing like wild weed anymore! I have less frequent haircut and look 10 years younger. I'm so happy I found my hairstylist!!!!

This studio is the best! I have been going to this studio for almost 15 years, and its never a dull moment. Everyone is super friendly, and they get the job done so well. I've had various types of hairstyle and it was all crafted out with love . If you go, you must visit Suki! She does job so well, and its always a fun time with her! Filled with laughters and jokes. Time goes by too quick with her whenever I get a hair cut.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
