Hair Competitions
Studio W Salon was founded by Julia Falvo-Walters. Julia has participated in over 20 live and photographic hairstyling as well as cutting competitions across the world. We believe that competition and styling behind the chair go hand in hand. Without competition and the amazing guests we serve, we would not be the stylists that we are today.
At Studio W Salon, we firmly believe in continuing to push ourselves to be the best stylists we can be. Whether it's through live hairstyling competitions, photographic competitions, or education, continuing to push ourselves outside of our comfort zone brings us to new heights.

Join our competitive spirit!
"We continue to push ourselves, in order to service you to the best of our abilities."
Studio W Salon is the very best of the best. I wholeheartedly trust every stylist at this salon, as I have had the privilege of each of them working on me before. This is one of my favorite things about this salon, they genuinely work as a team 100% of the time. Julia, their leading lady, is my primary stylist. I receive compliments on my hair all the time and people even comment on how nice the cut and color is months after my visit! Every friend I have recommended to Studio W has been very happy with the experience and their hair outcome. This salon really excels in every aspect and I would advise anyone to seek their expertise. Friendliness, authenticity, comfort, compassion and talent the minute you walk in the door. This place really has it all!
