Colie is fabulously skilled, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. I've always had great hair cuts (compliments for MONTHS), and great experiences with her.

Colie has done an incredible job with my curly hair. She recommended products that brought out the best in my hair. This is the first time my hair has been this healthy. I am very happy I found RIK RAK Studio.

My experience with Colie was just so-so. Found her via the naturallycurly site but am puzzled by the 5 star reviews. The haircut itself was fine, if a bit conservative. It's the rest of the experience that was meh. During the shampoo/condition there was a lot of yanking knots and running fingers through my hair -- hello, you cannot run fingers through curly hair without it HURTING. My scalp hurt for the rest of the day! She is supposed to be super experienced with curly hair, but after the cut, she barely styled my hair at all except for dumping tons of product in and then only half-blowdrying it so it just looked unfinished. I could have styled it better with my eyes closed. It kind felt like she was "phoning it in" -- another client came during my cut so maybe she was trying to rush, like she didn't block enough time. I also really disliked her constantly trying to upsell me on extra products and services. Not likely to return.

I found Colie five years ago when I was searching for a curly hair specialist in the Madison area. I have been a loyal customer of Colie's ever since. I'm always blown away by Colie's amazing color skills. She transforms my hair into a soft, natural blonde each time I'm in her chair. I often get compliments on my color and how natural it looks. Colie is so easy to talk to and truly cares about each of her clients. She is very professional and extremely talented. I completely trust her with my hair. Highly recommend!

I was definitely apprehensive about my first experience with bikini waxing. I have been shaving for years but decided that I was getting tired of having to shave so often. I found Rik Rak Studio while searching on Google and set up an appointment with Colie. In the meantime, I kept hearing that the first time waxing would be painful so I thought about canceling on several occasions. When I arrived, Colie was so inviting and friendly and I felt comfortable in letting her know I was a bit scared of the pain. I even confided in her about my modesty. Colie made me feel comfortable right away and reassured me that I could proceed at my pace. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to tolerate it and by the end of it all I found myself just chatting away and feeling as comfortable as if i had been waxing for years. I left knowing that I would continue to wax. Good bye razor! I would definitely go out on a limb and say that I believe that that Colie is one of the best in terms of her expertise.

Amazing experience today! I came in feeling old and frumpy, and left as a new woman! I love when an experienced stylist tells you exactly the look and color for you. I listened and I am so thankful!! I feel like a new woman! You have to give this place a try! You will not regret it. It was like a combination of a learning experience, fun, neck massage and great conversation all rolled into one. I am so thankful I met Colie! :o)
