There is nothing like a renovation to infuse new life and new energy into a space, and so it is with Studio West Hair Designs, a popular and longtime salon in Warwick. Owner Diana McHale has successfully captured her own zeal and enthusiasm, still going strong after over 30 years in the business, in her newly redesigned shop on Warwick Avenue. Dramatic black accents and modern glass block partitions are set against calming sky-blue walls, while warm light washes across the whole room. The entire salon is also immaculate and orderly ~ just how McHale expects it to be. There is a positive energy in this shop that is undeniable and worth coming in for a spin in the styling chair to see.

Studio West Hair Designs is home to four experienced and lively stylists, all of whom add their own unique talents and skills. Owner McHale has literally years and years of time spent with scissors in hand. One of her long time clients, Mary Ann Wright, has been with her since her early days and willingly offers these words of praise for her: "She will go out of her way for you, especially if you need something fixed. She always works with you until you are completely satisfied." It is this kind of care and attention that has kept Studio West as viable as it is to this day.

Another perfect reason to come to this salon is Rhonda Salvatore. Salvatore, whom many will recognize as the former owner of The Cutting Crew (another Warwick Avenue salon, well-known for over three decades) - joined the team here four years ago. If there is anything she knows about, it is hair - and she will work tirelessly to make sure you are happy with yours.

Giving the team here an extra boost of talent are stylists Marianne McKay and Amanda Rocheleau - both of these artists bring that youthful sensibility to the salon. Ms. Rocheleau is also a skilled esthetician who does makeup - especially for those unforgettable events in your life!

All of the many services here Studio West are available for men and women of all ages. Children are special favorites of this energetic crew. The salon does all cuts, colors, straightening techniques, foils and up-dos for special occasions, as well as facial waxing and eyebrow shaping. The stylists use a line of salon-quality products, "Enjoy" and "Milk Shake", which will give your hair body, texture, volume and control. Studio West also carries "Fairy Tales", a unique product line that repels lice and bed bugs - just in case...

This modern and inviting salon is located at 895 Warwick Avenue in the Gold Plaza. To make an appointment, call 785-2525 or 226-2945 (cell). Walk-ins are welcome!
