Design Studio

Sam is the best in the business! He worked us into his busy schedule on short notice and made the entire experience absolutely amazing. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. He really listened to what we wanted and delivered results that exceeded our expectations. We left feeling confident, refreshed, and so happy with our hair. Highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a top-notch stylist!

My husband & I recently relocated to Johnson City and badly needed our hair done. Not knowing anyone, we landed on Design Studios primarily on positive Google reviews for Sam’s expertise on curly hair. He didn’t disappoint. I only needed to tell him my preference and show him a few pics and he expertly took over. This was the best color job I ever received (and I’ve been to high end salons in NYC)!!! Also, he knew exactly how to handle my curly hair type and, for me, his cut was perfection. For my husband, Sam again showed his professionalism, recommending excellent hair growth product (we are already seeing results) and giving my reticent husband the cut he prefers (and likes) with very little input. Thank you,, Sam! We are lucky and grateful to have found someone in JC with so

I was in this salon roughly a year ago, but I need to share my experience. First of all this is not a salon. This is a pageant business run by a man that does hair services on the side. Also, the photos are not correct and not even of the same building that the “salon” is in. The actual “salon” is not nearly as nice as the photos on google, and is run down and feels halfway done. I came here because the reviews were good and they could get me in on a Saturday, and I wanted a silver money piece with a small silver peekaboo underneath the nape of my neck. From the beginning, I could tell the stylist wasn’t going to give me what I wanted and I wanted to leave, but I also didn’t want to be rude. Mind you, I have natural hair that has/had no dye on it. When I came out of the bowl, my hair was Y

Sam and Jose are the best ever! Sam cut and styled my very very curly hair to absolute perfection. I am 66 years old (in a couple weeks). I have NEVER had such a perfect haircut for my type hair. I HIGHLY recommend Sam and Jose. The shop is welcoming, great conversation and a lot of smiles. If you're looking for perfection....give this salon a try. You will never go back to your old ways. Love this shop and have definitely decided this is the one and only who will cut my hair forever more. ❤️

Big shout to Sam! Started by asking him over the phone if he knew anything about naturally curly hair. No hesitation, he said absolutely. Then he got me in as quickly as possible and the result was fantastic. He washed and cut my hair for a great price while also putting me on a new product that was cheaper than what Amazon had it for. Overall, it was a great experience and I will be back.
