blow out by Chau!
Valerie A.

so I have very curly hair & I wear it curly most of the time, but sometimes I like to switch up my look and wear it straight. I'd been getting curly cuts recently, but wanted a regular cut to be able to wear it straight and it not look wonky/uneven. I texted Ciao salon with my questions and concerns, and received a quick response from Chau- we ended up on a quick phone call going over my concerns and what I wanted, and then she was able to get me in the next day! I went in today, she shampooed, conditioned and blow dried my hair, and then she cut it with long layers and some long face framing layers like I'd requested. She then styled it to perfection guys. This was the part I was weary about because most stylists don't really know how to get MY super curly hair, super straight, especially in the middle of Houston summer. (Trust me, I've had many experiences with this.) But she nailed my blowout. Super happy I found her and I will for sure be back! Thanks Chau!

LONG overdue. This salon is so chill & welcoming. Amanda is, hands down, THE best colorist. I have thick, long, black hair. Asian hair is so hard to bleach/color, but Amanda is patient, skilled, and meets the challenge each time. I've been going to Ciao Salon 2+ years and have gone from purple/pink to brown, back to natural black, then to smoky lilac. Amanda is careful with making sure to keep my hair intact and preventing breaks. Def. recommend Ciao Salon for your color and cut needs!

Amanda & her magic work

My hair is naturally dark, which means it's hard to get to the color that I desire. Amanda does a really good job with blondes. She's been doing my hair for two years now & I can't turn back on her. The staff there makes you feel really comfortable and they are very friendly. I get my hair retouch every month with her, and everytime I do I always switch up to either highlights or lowlights. I've been a blonde for over two years and I can't go anywhere else who can do such a great job as her! If you're looking for someone to cut your hair, I suggest you go to Chau, she does an amazing job. Give her an idea of what you like or in fact bring a picture so she can get an idea and trust me she is good with them scissors!

It's been a good 2.5 years since I last dyed my hair. The only reason I waited so long - was so that I could cut off all my processed hair and have it grow back in my natural black hair. I had finally found the color that I wanted to dye my hair - so off I go to Ciao Salon. Chau has cut my hair before, but I've never gotten it colored here. Kayli was my color specialist for this occasion. I showed her pictures of the look that I was going for and off we go from there! I only had to go through one session of bleach. Kayli was also very helpful along the way, making sure that I was happy with what was going on. After she added the color to my hair, I was off to one more wash and then my cut with Chau. At first, while my hair was still very damp, I couldn't see the color very well. While getting my hair cut and blowdryed by Chau, the color was becoming more and more vibrant. I was getting thrilled!! Chau has cut my hair before - so I knew I was in good hands. I love my hair with layers and side swept bangs - and she gives me that every single time. If I ask for only 2 inches cut off, that is what I get! Even while I was getting my hair bleached and colored, Chau had another appointment that sat right next to me. The customer was kind of puzzled as to how she wanted to cut and style her hair. Chau sat through a consultation with her to explain the different types of hair and how they'll grow/lay. Chau made several suggestions to help her customer and in the end, all I kept hearing was, this is great - this is beautiful, thanks Chau! I am absolutely in love with my hair! It is the perfect pastel, mixed with lavender and mauve. :)

The building itself is a little hard to spot but parking is not a problem. I was referred to one of the stylists, Lindsey, from a friend and from the start with setting up the appointment and everything, she was really friendly and accommodating. The environment is very clean and laid back. The staff are also very funny, personable, and cool :) As far as my hair, it turned out better than I imagined and Lindsey did everything that asked her to do very beautifully! I loved how my hair turned out :)

Love the highlights!

I loved my cut and color! I had Amanda and Chau! Seriously your hair will look amazing after this. She really did what I wanted with the color. I thought the highlights were too light at first and then she toned them down for me! hair goddesses!

After Amanda!!!

Amanda is a blessing. She is amazing. She is a goddess. I can NOT rave enough about her!!!!! I am NEVER cheating on her ever again. She colored my virgin hair last year and the color stayed for over a year!!! I went and got it colored elsewhere and the color did not look good after a month... Amanda got me in this month and I cannot thank her enough!!!!!!!! She is amazing. You won't regret it at all. I love you, Amanda!!!!!

Jade has been doing my hair for about seven years now and she never disappoints! We have done long, medium, short, curly, wavy, straight, natural color, violet ombre, and everything in between and I have always walked out incredibly happy! To top it off, she is super nice and fun to talk to so my appointments always fly by and I am well coiffed and out before I even know it! Highly recommend her!

Purple ombre by Amanda!

Here's an update! Since my first encounter here at Ciao Salon with Amanda I've been a very loyal client to her! She is my only colorist, even my stylist from another salon tried to sway me away. Sorry buddy, you can stick to cutting my hair! ;) Amanda always takes her time and does a great job on my hair. She always gives me what I want. From the first time to being ash blonde, it was achieved in an instant. To the second time going ombré purple. Done. Then she brought me up to blonde!! FROM MY OMBRÉ PURPLE!!! That's a miracle, check out my pics and you'll see what she has to deal with! I send all of my friends and family her way! My sister goes to her as well and she's a blonde debating whether to go either darker or lighter each time she touches up her roots. She's also a hassle. But I know I can give Amanda a headache sometimes from my indecisiveness, but she never fails! Definitely won't be going anywhere else! Oh and now I have pink hair! Yes yes I'm a wild child, gray, purple, blonde, pink, I want it all! Hmmm maybe I'll hit a neutral color next, but in the mean time, let's get crazy!

My hair was originally brown and blonde (bad ombré job on my part) and Amanda and Chau brought me to such a beautiful color and cut that I didn't even think was possible for me. Everyone that works at this salon is so talented and warm. I had such a great time getting to know them while they worked their magic on my hair. I'd recommend them to anyone! :)

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.

Pronounced 'Bik Nwa', the name of this hair salon in Houston means 'beautiful as Jade' in…read moreVietnamese. I haven't had a hair cut since my brother paid for one while we were in New Zealand. So to keep that tradition (ignoring the fact that I'm just lazy about it, as my wife would tell you), we went to a hair salon that his son has been to for his hair cut. Parking is on the street and they take reservations, though I got lucky in getting a seat right away without one. My stylist knew what she was doing, asking what trimmer blade size I wanted. She suggested I go one half step higher than my ask, than got to work. Buzz, then detailing, then a a shampoo, then final cut with scissors. And she took care of my cowlick so it wouldn't be so pronounced. Probably 15 minutes from start to finish. Fifteen dollars (including shampooing). Add me to the list of very satisfied customers.
