My hair has been in its natural health state from my big chop seven years ago. I rarely let anyone…read moreput their hands in my hair to the point I can count on one hand. I found Maggie on Instagram and after seeing her work decided to take the risk. I went in for a silk press and LOVED IT! She is a bit heavy handed burning me a few places but honey I tell you I sat through it because the silk press lasted so long and my hair reverted right back without damage. I referred a ton of clients to her along with my mother. My mom went in and by the time she came out to the car to call me on FaceTime it poof right back up. I screen shot it and sent the photo to Maggie. She never responded to the photo. I went in once again for a silk press and was surprised she brought up the photo that I sent of my mom EVEN THOUGH she never responded. Fast forward ... I trust her, im ready for my keratin treatment. I go into the shop and she's extremely over booked. The keratin was placed on my head as she did other clients. Her lovely assistant then blow dries my hair then sits me to the side while I wait for the press. I should've noticed something wasn't right because normally my hair is bone straight after the blow dry. She finishes me up and I'm in love as usual. The next day I go out in the town for my birthday and my hair was extremely poofy, more than normal. The next day it's as hard as hay! I messaged her and she said I could add oil to put moisturize back into it and wrap it. I did, it was soft but when I woke up in the am to wear it out it's hard as hay again and literally falling out when I run my fingers through it. I sent pictures and she asked me to come in for a deep conditioner. After the treatment my hair was soft BUT as it dries before your eyes I tell her (as I run my fingers though my hair) how it isn't normal. She becomes defensive which makes me make a confused face (I'm guessing) because she says, " I'm sorry I'm not being defensive but I don't know what to tell you". I'm literally holding my breath to hold in my tears. I realized a few things at that moment. 1. I should've noticed the signs 2. Not all stylist care about natural healthy hair 3. Not everyone accepts feedback 4. Never get a keratin again I sent her more photos of the handfuls of hair that I had and asked for a refund. She never responded as usual then blocks me on her social media profile. My bank was kind enough to refund me so I'm partially feeling better. My hair was my crown now I'm waiting to see if my hair will even manage to become what it was before the keratin treatment. Update: my hair was put in a protective style for three weeks to give it a break. Hair was falling out as i took my braids out. I'll attach a picture Update 8/20: my hair is continuing to fall out. I had to cut it completely off for the shedding to stop.

Quick story time: I moved to Houston abruptly back in 2018. When I started my job, I had a classy…read morered concoction that I was told I had to change after a few days (I never even interacted with customers ). Thankfully as soon as I found out I was transferring my job, I was on Instagram vigorously looking at Houston salons and came across this GEM. SHE IS AN ANGEL YALL! I told her the story and we switched to a pretty plum that we thought would suffice but turns out, I had to change it AGAIN! She let me come back and she darkened my hair and didn't even charge me . I went dark then she transitioned me to a honey brown after giving my hair a short break (view pics below of my transformation). All of that with NO damage. Your beautician could NEVA! That was the beginning of me becoming a FAB girl. Margaret is as sweet as pie and you will sense her genuine spirit upon your first interaction. Her personality is one of a kind and her blow outs are unmatched, period! Visiting her salon is always a relaxing experience and I always look forward to attending my appointments. Between the empowering girl talks and laughs, she makes it pretty hard for anyone else to top her salon experience. I used to travel over a hour to my appointments until she moved to her current location which is a lot closer to me. In that time, I tried ONE other stylist because she was conveniently closer and my hair was puffy in 3 days. Talk about pissed! I vowed from that time to never go anywhere else. You get what you pay for plus more with Marg. I have thick natural hair and my hair stays flawlessly straight until it gets product build up (my fault) and loses body. I don't like flat hair so I wash it, however, it lasts about 2 weeks...IN HOUSTON HEAT! She uses a steaming method that hydrates your hair and prevents damage. I'm not sure if it's my straightening technique or if her blow outs have lasting affects cause my hair always comes out flawlessly even after a couple of washes. That's what you call quality! Needless to say, if you're on the market for a new beautician, book your FAB appointment ASAP. You'll love it!

The new location feels like a fresh start, decorated in the same mid wood tones, and natural finishes, it's a vibe for sure. I get it, this salon may not be for everyone, but I've yet to receive anything less than love and care with my tresses. I visit the same stylist, and I feel my hair is always in good hands. This time, I booked a vacation style, and although my vision had to modified for practicality, Tamika presented me with options and walked me through the process. She was courteous, kind, and consultative. While you'll need to book far in advance, your appointment will be well worth it!

After bouncing around between a couple of places at the start of my Houston journey, it was recommended to me by multiple people to see Danny at Star Hair Salon. It's been close to a year and I haven't looked back since. When I first came to Star, the price was $6 across all stylists, while Danny charged a flat $7. There are people that come in and out of this place, but the majority of them are here for Danny. I've seen him cut a whole plethora of folks, but the reason I appreciate him is because he knows how to handle Asian hair (#1). It's not uncommon for him to have a wait of 3-8 people at any given time. Fast forward to current times, Danny now charges $10 flat. All other stylists are at $9 (#2) and it's cash only. Danny is also the only hair stylist I've ever seen that has "911" as option on his menu, which is a $40 emergency for anyone who needs to skip the line for whatever reason. Other feeds include $30 for coloring, $3 for beard trimming, and $3 for shampoo. Also, do not use the restroom. Hold it and go to the restaurant next door. Just trust me. Ultimately, Danny has been good about giving me a proper fade with crisp lines and helping me manage my cowlicks. He's always been incredibly friendly and funny and is well connected in the community. While the other stylists do just fine for the most part, it's Danny that is truly running the show. __________ (#1) Asian hair is notorious difficult to cut but Danny has it in his bag. (#2) Or "$8.99"

Mike's on Chimney Rock is my goto haircut place. But having moved up North it's no longer easy to…read moreget a cut down there. Tried asking around to the folks up there for a comparable place in the Woodlands and was simply laughed at mercilessly. It is like all the geriatric snobs up there in the Woodlands can't believe places like that actually exist. Well news flash. It's a haircut. It's not surgery. A pair of scissors, a clipper and a comb is the capital expenditure (and maybe a bowl it you're Asian - only is Asians get that). And most of us at some point in our lives take on the role ourselves without any training. Just trial and error. So yeah, paying $135 for a "fabulous cut" by someone named Fabio just don't sit right with this Yelper. I saw Jando's review of this place. And liking the cut of his jib I decided to come here since I was in town on a Sunday and sadly Mike's ain't open on Sundays. First off - inflation is a b*tch. And it would seem in the last 10 months since his review the price of even the non-Danny tier 2 cutters is now $11.99. That's a 33% increase. But I'm glad they actually changed the sign to notify folks in advance. I was there. In the moment. So I went for it. Not crowded at 9:30 am on Sunday. Glad they were actually opened because, despite the sign saying 9 am open time, I did have my doubts this being a Sunday morning. The woman in the far right hand corner upon entering beckoned me to come to her chair. Like a siren beckoning a sailor to their demise. I was hesitant at first. But I like older folks more than the younger ones, and she was definitely grandma age, so I gladly walked over. Took a seat and 5 minutes later I was out of there. Satisfied and on my way, as it should be. As I left she gave me a friendly "see you next time". Yes you will.

This is a VERY Awesome barber shop!…read more I come from a small town and relocated to Houston three years ago. I had the same barber for years and am very particular about my hair and beard. Elegance is the only barber shop I've been to in my three years of living in Htown. I get my hair cut and a line up from Nabeel and he does a top notch - professional job! I even take friends there regularly so they can experience the professionalism that defines Elegance. The staff always goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is wonderful. I recommend the occasional wax and I always get the exfoliant. The new location is ushering in a new era at Elegance. Check this place out! You won't regret it!

The thing is, I have had some bad experiences at the walk in braiding salons I previous went to and I was getting overwhelmed thinking I had to Uber for one and for two I was on a limited time space and I didn't know of any around this area. . I took a deep breath, exhaled and went to safari where this Britt Hair Place popped up. . The images shown were really good and basically I had no choice. They were close and I didn't plan on taking an Uber to numerous spots. I didn't have time to be picky. . I called this place, they answered. Asked if they took walk ins and they said yes. She asked what time and this is where I was like lord please let her say in 30 min is okay... and it was was! . Now the neighborhood can be deceiving. BIG TIME.

The lady I spoke with was named Brindah, and she was very sweet and helpful. I was able to book an appointment at the time I wanted, and I also squeezed in my daughter during my appointment as well with no hassle or additional wait time. To book an appointment, they require a $30 deposit to hold your spot. You can pay in-person or by Cash app ($Britthairbraiding) and the deposit will applied to your final cost. The stylists are quick and professional, and they are aware of current trends. They are active on social media, so search for them and you'll see additional pics. The plus for me was they had contemporary gospel playing when I went by there, so the atmosphere is welcoming. I'll definitely be going back again and again. I highly recommend this salon.
