Ola Studio

Ola Studio is run by Raquel Rose, a hairstylist who has worked behind the chair for 12 years, 8 of them as a small business owner. The salon is in Studio 31 at 580 El Camino Real in Santa Clara.

Clients can book through the services page on the booking site. Hours are Monday and Friday 10 AM to 2 PM, Tuesday and Thursday 10 AM to 7 PM, Wednesday 10 AM to 2 PM, and Saturday 10 AM to 3 PM; the salon is closed on Sundays. Questions can be sent to Raquel through a contact form on the booking site. A $50 cancellation fee applies to changes made within 24 hours of an appointment, and no-shows are charged the full booked service.

The menu covers cuts for women and for girls aged 6 to 15, single-process and highlight color, gloss and color refresh treatments, blowouts with iron waves or beach waves, and event styling. Brow waxing and scalp treatments are also offered, along with a free 30-minute consultation.

Members book as usual, and their benefits are applied at checkout in person. Gift cards come in $50, $75, $100 or $200 amounts or a custom amount, and gift card sales are final.

For special occasions and weddings, the salon can style clients on site. The travel fee is a flat $50 within the South Bay Area and a flat $125 outside it, and applies to Bay Area locations only.

Each visit begins with a free 30-minute consultation, so the service is planned around the client's own ideas before any work starts.
