Reviews of Studio 523 Barber Shop and Beauty Salon (Barber Shop)

Juliana Ketkar

I would give zero stars if that was an option. Jazz is the rudest stylist I have ever met. I get my hair done weekly and know what i need. She was unwilling to take any directions, got angry and shouted at me and in the end charged me $65 for a blow out. That is more than what I pay in high end salon I go to in New York. If you want to be attacked and robbed, this is the place to go.

Excellent staff

From out of town, in New Orleans for 311 Day. Just wanted a quick buzz, and most places were too pricey or required an appointment. These guys got me in, out, and on my way with a fresh cut at a good price. Very thorough and a great staff. Highly recommended!!

The stylists are knowledgeable about hair, they are friendly, they take walk ins.

I still can get over that they shave my eyebrows. I asked them bring down my beard, edge me and clean my eyebrows. They completely shave my beard. I did not notice until I made it to the hotel. Fellas, do not go here!

Dave Rich

Had my hair done at Studio 523 by Jasmine for the Hermes Ball, I was so pleased with the outcome. What a great Hair Salon.

Susan Downing White

Shampoo and blow dry by Jasmine—great service and results.

William Rice

My hotel was right next door so I went in. Lots of guys waiting, a barber told me the "she can take you". Sat down, she didn't talk what so ever till the last part. She butchered the top and front, then saying "nice and short so you won't have to have a haircut for awhile" without even asking how long I wanted it. It was $25 for the haircut and I would have paid for my hair back if I could. My family saw me after and asked if I joined the military it was that short. Next time I will be rude and ask for a male barber and get what I want.

I took an appointment for hair emergency. Jazzy is very professional I have a nice haircut and was welcomed nicely I definitely recommend this salon

Kevin Hofbauer

Walked right in and was able to make an appointment after breakfast. Great service in a cozy environment. Got a fresh looking fade and face shave for WAY less than I thought it would cost! If I wasn't traveling back to Australia tomorrow I would make this my local barber for sure!

Worst haircut. Asked for trim, got an effing crew cut. Complete amateur...

I had an awesome experience at Studio 523. My BFF and I were in NOLA for the 2018 EMF. Jasmine did or make up and hair for the Sunday night concert. She did an excellent job. Jasmine was friendly and professional. Thank you Jasmine. We will see you when we come back for the 2019 EMF in NOLA! SHOUT OUT to EVERYBODY that works at Studio 523!

Levi Schmidt

Working on the cruise ship and having limited time, Studio 523 was able to get me in with very short notice! I always try new styles and Ron was very understanding of what I was looking for with my newest style. He made sure I was happy with all steps of the process. Ron and Jay made it very easy to just come in, relax and have a good conversation. The atmosphere of this place is very relaxed! If you're looking for a good haircut with some chill guys come this way!

Terence Wyche

The staff at Studio 523 are exceptional! They are very professional and attentive to your needs. The atmosphere is very welcoming and diverse. Ron (my personal barber) provides one of the best hair cuts ever! He is well-rounded in the barber trade as well as the other barbers and cosmetologists there. I commend Ms. Muriel Lewis, owner, and her entire staff for providing a service needed in this particular area of New Orleans. Job well done!!

Kenny WJones

I've been coming here for about 3years my wife said I can't go anywhere else...

London

My friend and I were in town visiting so decided to check out Studio 523 and it was sooo nice! The staff were very friendly and gave us great information and history about the city plus they did a really good cut for my friend. I would definitely recommend this place and visit again.

Great cut for my type of hair. Hospitable people

Brandon Quzack

This shop is amazing! They're always quick and stick to their appointments.

Robert Lewis

After I got my beard lined up I notice that it was really crooked and wasn't done well. A bit pricy as well. The only good thing is they're open on Sundays, that's all.

Taiwan Tobias

Love the staff and environment. It's a place where I can relax and unwind. You're treat like royalty and family. When you visit New Orleans stop by Studio523

Rohan Tikmany

Good staff. Clean place. Cheap.

Danny Rabalais

Went in on my birthday to get my first ever hot straight razor shave. Ashley took care of it and made it one of the most awesome experiences ever. It was gentle methodical and surreal at the same time… I wish I could give a 10 star rating

Raymond Torrence

Ron hooked me up real good, I was looking for a location that was near the French quarter because I didn't want to travel to the outskirts.

Brandon Libby

Ashley was amazing, best haircut I’ve had in a long time.

irash Cason

Love Ms. Muriel. She is very knowledgeable about hair care and you feel the love once she's done. Thank you!

Jocilyn Johnson

Went to get my hair trimmed & she cut off way to much, and it was uneven. Never going back

Ronald Lewis

Great Barber & Beauty Salon!!!

Olaf Gallus

Relaxing setting and outstanding attention to detail. Highly recommend. It was a great shave and my wife can’t keep her hands off my face.

Rob Leon

This was the worst haircut I have ever received. First I waited an hour and a half with two "stylist" working and two people in front of me. I asked for a number 2 with a fade up to where my hair is long and the first "stylist" said she couldn't do a fade and I should wait for the other. So I waited another 20 mins for her to finish. I sit down it the chair and she has to grab a clipper from another station. She then starts in the middle of where I wanted the fade and starts poking with the clipper with the grain and making a line. I figured she just had a different style than I'm used to but after about 5 mins of this I asked if she had a guard on it, she said no. I asked her to put one on and she went back to the other station to grab them. She then started doing the same thing with the guard on. Not really cutting anything. I finally tell her how she's supposed to use the clippers and she starts doing it right but she still creates a line instead of trying to fade it. She then tells me she wants to grab a number 1 guard to blend it. With the number 1 on she creates 3 lines on the right side of my head. I realize she has no idea how to do a fade so I ask her just to make the lower part of my head that's shaved a number 2. She runs the clippers over my head a few times and really didn't fix the the spots she originally messed up when using the clippers with no guard. At this point she asked me if I want to keep going and I say no. I stand up and look in the mirror and see just how bad it really is. She asked me to tell her honestly how bad it was. At this point I just want to leave and see no point in hurting this girl's feelings so I just say it's ok I can fix it and leave. I then go back to my hotel and have my brother do what he can to fix it. It's better but still really messed up. I now have to wake up early tomorrow and go get my hair fixed before I go to work. I've never had my hair messed up this bad in my entire life. I don't understand how they can operate a barber shop and not know how to use clippers. I should have read more reviews and not just the star number. Do not go to this place, you will regret it!

Wilbur Cox Jr

Jay was great, great haircut for a great price, and they do a razor fade as well. Very enjoyable experience for an out of towner, and they are open Sundays when every other shop was closed. Would most definitely return.

Anthony Aldo Hill

Really bad haircut. Too busy with hot towels and blades round the back of my neck... Basically forgot about the top - left it completely different lengths. Nice guy though and friendly, but not a good cut.

juwaun james

Got a great cut by mr mcswain. Nice and respect shop can't wait to go back.

Noah Choiniere

Ash was great. One of the best haircuts I've had.
