Le Studio Salon

Le Studio Salon has been at 47 W Main St in downtown Mesa since 1984. The salon describes its style as an upbeat, informal European approach to beauty care, and says it combines French know-how with Arizona hospitality. Laurent, the owner, is the French designer and proprietor behind the salon. It is open Tuesday through Saturday, from morning to late afternoon, and clients can book by phone at 480-827-9770. Gift certificates are available.

The hair menu covers haircuts and barber services, color including highlights and dimensional color, blowouts, and a smoothing treatment for frizzy hair that takes about 90 minutes in the salon. The salon says the smoothing results can last up to 12 weeks. Styling is offered for braids, curls, half-up looks, updos, proms, nights out and other special events, along with hair extensions. Bridal packages come with special pricing, though no amounts are listed. Clients who are unsure which stylist to book can ask the salon to match them with one. The salon also says its stylists must complete ongoing advanced education.

Beyond hair, the salon offers makeup for events, weddings and proms, and lash services performed by a licensed esthetician. Manicures, pedicures and nail enhancements are also on the menu. The salon describes its wider offering as hair, spa, skin treatment, hand, nail and foot care.

I Brows It, founded by Alisa, focuses on permanent brow and lip work. Every appointment begins with a consultation. Options include microblading, which typically takes 2 to 3 hours, combo brows that mix nano hair strokes with soft shading, which take about 3.5 hours, nano brows made with a machine and hair strokes, powder or ombre brows that use shading only, and lip blush. Correction of earlier tattoo or permanent makeup done elsewhere is also offered. A follow-up touch-up is recommended 6 to 10 weeks after the first session. The salon says permanent makeup typically lasts 12 to 36 months and that final results cannot be guaranteed. Brow bookings are made online with a $35 deposit taken at booking and the balance due at the appointment. Changes need 24 hours notice, and late cancellations or no-shows forfeit the deposit. Services are final and non-refundable once performed. Clients with earlier permanent makeup are asked to send a clear, makeup-free photo of their brows or lips before booking.

The salon says it blends the latest techniques with European beauty traditions, and it treats hair color as a personal process worked out with each client.

The salon describes its setting as French know-how combined with Arizona hospitality.
