Stefanie Smith, Shine Studio at Sola Salons - Syracuse (NY)

5 /5 Elizabeth Case: Stefanie has been my hairstylist for more than 20 years. She is the best there is and always takes time to listen and make you feel comfortable. She’s the only person who knows how to cut my hair the right way and she’s so good at color and making sure your hair doesn’t get damaged. Highly recommend her. She’s a great stylist!

5 /5 Heather Taylor: Exceptional stylist. After moving around with the military for over 20 years and going to high end salons in NYC and New Jersey, I can honestly say that Stefanie is a master of her craft. She truly creates natural, believable hair through color and cut. For me, Stefanie is outstanding with gray coverage and expertly taming my long curly/wavy hair. She consistently gives an excellent cut every time I need one. And I know from experience that consistency in a stylist can be difficult to find. If youre looking to start fresh, experience a very customized appointment and get your natural, healthy hair back, then Stefanie is the person to go to! Very highly recommend! Update Feb 2024: Stefanie has been doing my hair for 2 years now and she continues to provide consistent, top notch service for gray coverage and for cutting edge precision cuts. Stefanie has been able to miraculously get my initially over processed dark brown hair (I was always told I needed to go very dark to cover my gray. Not true thanks to Stefanie!) back to its original lighter shade over the time weve been together. My hair has never been healthier. Stefanie truly creates natural and believable hair and I love mine. Make an appointment and see for yourself! Update Feb 2025: Stefanie continues to consistently deliver outstanding results. Incredibly talented and well versed in grays. Remember ladies, you don’t have to harshly dye your hair black to cover those grays…that’s what I was told by previous hair stylists! Glad I found Stefanie! We’ve successfully lightened my color over time, despite my grays, ensuring the health of my hair. Actually it’s the healthiest my hair has been! I continue to recommend Stefanie Smith. Consistent, top notch service and a variety of budget options to achieve your hair goals! You won’t be disappointed!

5 /5 Eileen Quimby: Stefanie is extremely savvy with her color blending techniques-and shes witty, kind, and such a joy to do business with. She also gave me a great trim and knew just what to do so that I didnt feel awkward with the finished treatment as Im not one to spend a lot of money on myself. And it, really, was not overly expensive either. I left my appointment feeling liberatedand pleased. Thank you Stefanie-I, so, appreciate you!

5 /5 Lisa Mitchell: Stephanie has been my stylist for about 20 years and has seen me through every stage of my hair journey. She is an artist with color, and never more so than with the grey blending she just did for me. Having made the decision to embrace my new color and letting it grow, I desperately need something to hide the line between former color and new natural me. Steph worked a miracle without killing my hair with chemicals and it looks great!!! Adding some layers removed some of the old and color covered the rest. A few more months of growth and it’ll be all me. Then I can continue to treat myself to her awesome conditioning and shine treatments. There’s nobody I I trust with my hair but Stephanie. She’s the best in this area, hands down. Thx so much for making it so my hair is out of the ponytail once again❤️

5 /5 Katherine Jaeger: I always leave Stefanie’s salon feeling confident with a wonderful natural looking color and lovely. I like the fact that it is a private room….so relaxing.
