    Victoria was an amazing. A double wash was amazing. The first one she really scrubbed her head. The second one is to get all the extra dirt out and then she massage the conditioner in and write it a very luxurious experience at the salon. She then took her time styling my hair and the hairstyle lasted me for the next 2 1/2 days and did it all with an affordable price tag attached to it.! She's newer and I hope her books don't fill up too quickly!

    I miss my friend mom when I see this because she has the same hairstyle

    I swear I hate to give bad reviews to businesses but I am so mad every time I walk past the mirror. I show pictures for short hair cut I know of course you can't match AI pictures but Let me tell you one thing I can just cut by myself at home and look so much better than spending $175 and want to cry . I already show the lengths where want the length will be . She cut super short inside. When did I request 1960 style bob cut ?? The picture model is layer not grandma bob cut . Walking in with long dry hair but doesn't look that bad. Walking out look exactly like my friend mom who is 65 years old or Lord Quad . The length inside is super short now I don't even know how to fix it . after cut that hair style looks so damn ugly and want to charge $370 to put pink color in Lord Quad hair . It is short hair not even long or required more work. I was about to cry when I see my hair . The more she cut the worse it gets . I want bang , bang length is suppose to sit between eyebrows not poke directly to my eyeballs. Cutting the length right on my eyeballs so I can't see how ugly I get ??? Omg im so damn mad . I know hair will grow back but at the mean time I need to shave this ugly damn hair of even I am going bald I can't take it anymore .

    Around 3 weeks ago, I came in for a Japanese straight perm, and I left utterly satisfied! I actually called the salon in advance to book an appointment since I knew the perm would take a while. The whole process took a little over 4 hours, which was a lot less time than I anticipated as I've had perms that took over 6 hours to complete. Joe was my stylist, and although we could barely communicate with each other because of the language barrier, he did his best to make sure I was comfortable. He is a true professional, very meticulous and thorough. I had my glasses off the whole time, so when I put them back on to see the results, I was completely in awe. It was everything I wanted!! The price for the perm was $260, and I got a lil trim that was $50. The perm price was extremely affordable, and I'd recommend it to any of my friends. As for the payment, they encourage paying through Zelle or else they charge a high fee on credit cards. I was having trouble sending my payment through Zelle, but I was able to use Apple Pay. I'll for sure be back for touch ups!!

    This is gonna be my new go-to salon for haircuts I love it. They did an excellent job. I would highly recommend this place to my friends and everyone.

    Came for another visit and once again loved my visit! I showed a photo from online and my stylist was able to recreate it super accurately to fit my face. My stylist this time was a newer guy named Chen, and he was very kind and patient with my demands. Great experience and I loved that the place is always quite clean.

    This is my first visit to the salon, and I had a terrific experience. Annie was my stylist, and she was incredible. She made me feel at ease from the moment I saw her for a consultation until I left with my hair done. She listened carefully to what I wanted and offered some suggestions to help me meet my hair goals. Annie was exceptionally skilled, diligent, and meticulous about her job. She is the most caring, friendly, and passionate person I've ever met. I couldn't be happier and will undoubtedly return for future hair appointments. I walked in with terrible hair and left the salon feeling like a new person with my awesome hair. Thank you so much, Annie!!!

    It was my first time there found them on Yelp and read the reviews and I was not disappointed excellent hair salon. Jin was the one that did my hair he was amazing and very very very good I give this place five stars I went in for a straightener and it was excellent

    Called in for a same day appointment and was able to get a spot that evening. Woo! I didn't mind who my hairstylist was I just really needed a haircut. Chen ended up being my hairstylist and let me just say, it was the best experience ever!!! He DELIVERED. I've been receiving compliments left and right. My sister ended up booking an appointment the next day with Chen. She shared a picture of her hair after the cut with her friends and they love it and will be booking an appointment with him soon! This place is such a hidden gem! -Sandy

    Ivy had been cutting, coloring, and perming my hair for over 10 years, and she opened up her own salon earlier in 2023 like she deserves! She's always very accommodating to my requests, keeping up with the latest trends while still maintaining her impeccable skills when it comes to hair cutting. She takes pride in her work and you can definitely tell in the end product. The salon is also very spacious, aesthetically pleasing, and clean. The space makes one feel like they're in a luxurious, high-end salon for an affordable, gratifying hair cutting and hair styling experience. I highly recommend 7 Qi Ao to everyone!

    7 Qi Ao Salon is a new and modern hair salon in Chinatown. Ivy Liu cofounded this hair salon after cutting and styling hair for over 10 years. In fact, Ivy has been cutting my hair since I moved to Houston, Texas in 2012! It's been amazing to see her grow as a person and start her own business. The salon has a contemporary design, and it's incredibly spacious and clean. It's comfortable, and they even serve coffee and drinks. I have never come across a salon like this in Chinatown! If you're looking for a salon you can trust in Chinatown, I would highly recommend Ivy and her team at 7 Qi Ao Salon!

Light snacks, like cranberries and nuts are provided along with hot tea options, and citrus flavored water. The space is very nice. There are locker rooms with plush spa robes and complementary slippers. The locker room has two steam showers if you want to wash yourself after your massage. They also provide hair products to try as well as a Dyson hair dryer. I was definitely very impressed with the luxurious feel of the spa, however, was turned off by the receptionist who checked me in - her robotic, transactional nature was starkly juxtaposed against the warmth of the spa. I noticed she was the same with all customers so it wasn't personal but interaction with her was unsettling. I booked the 60min signature hydrafacial and the esthetician was welcoming and willingly customized my facial based on my requests. No major issues encountered but I noticed we started 10 minutes late and ended 10 minutes early so I thought marketing it as a 60min experience was a bit misleading. Also note the 60min Signature Hydrafacial does not include any hand/neck massages nor boosters nor light therapy so the $285 price was much more expensive than my usual spa. I will not return for another facial but may try massage in the future. We also booked pedicures and again the space is beautiful!! We were given a palette to select colors and the ladies were extremely friendly! My toes came out adorable! I found the seating to be very uncomfortable for a short person despite many pillows placed behind me for support so I honestly struggled to enjoy the experience but the space was very nicely decorated and clean looking. We were offered tea and snacks at the beginning as well. Overall, this was a very nice spa. I found it fairly expensive and overpriced, but I recognize beautiful spaces have a cost and that's what I should've expected in the River Oaks area. There is complementary validated parking!

    If you're looking for a classic Vietnamese hair salon that values efficiency, affordability, and…read moreeffectiveness, this is your spot. Don't expect a modern, trendy interior. Nonetheless, this place still gets the job done right. I walked in on a Sunday around 3:45 PM and, despite seeing about 3-4 people ahead of me, I was seated by 4:35 PM - not a bad wait at all! I opted for the wash, cut, and blowout, which came out to a total of $35. I was finished by 5:05 PM, so the service was quick and efficient. (You can call ahead and make an appointment as well). They also let you check the front and back of the hair with a mirror to make sure you like it. Open on Saturdays and Sunday - so perfect for those who are busy/don't have time on the weekdays and need something quick. A heads up: they only accept cash or Zelle, so come prepared. Street parking is available. Overall, If you want a simple, straightforward, budget-friendly haircut without the fancy extras, this salon is a solid choice.
