    Long layers

    I had low hopes coming to Fantastic Sam's because of the experiences I had in UT. BUT... My stylist did AMAZING!! I came in with hair down to my belly button, and didn't want to lose much length. I just wanted some weight taken off + layers. Olga went above and beyond! Before cutting any length off my hair, she made sure I was okay with it. She was extremely thorough and explained what kind of haircut would look best on me. She also thinned my bangs, that I ruined at home, with no judgment or scolding. She was so sweet, she said "it happens to the best of us!" I walked out extremely happy, confident, and with a beautiful haircut. THANK YOU OLGA

    Bayan did my hair, and she is amazing! She executed the color perfectly, giving me two-tone chunky highlights, and she also did a fantastic job with the styling and cut. I have visited her in the past, and I always love my experience. The pictures speak for themselves. I couldn't recommend her enough!

    Cute cut from Bayan!

    Took a chance as I've never been to a Fantastic Sam's and I'm glad I did! I just selected "any stylist" when I made my online appt and when I walked in I got Bayan, or "Bay" as she goes by...she was so nice and gave me pretty much exactly what I asked for, a medium length shag. Last time I got that kind of cut I went to a place literally called "Shag" and I wasn't all that happy with it, lol. Bay did a great job! The price for shampoo and cut was a bit higher than what the website said, but I'm not even mad about it:-)

    Note to owner: these amazing and skilled stylists need more work space/surfaces, updated materials and equipment, to make their jobs easier. The fact that they are producing such great results in an inefficient and outdated work space just shows how truly talented the stylists at this location are. Ok so let me just cut to the chase for everyone and just say: BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT- book it with Bayan and then don't worry about a thing. I was there for well over 3 hours yesterday and had plenty of time to observe other stylists and customers. All 5 of the stylists that I was around were achieving great results for their clients and clients left BEAMING. They all seem to have a lot of regular/replete clients. Always a good sign. Here's my experience: my hair is naturally dark blonde. It was very long. The bottom half lightened quite a bit by Texas sun (and lemon, maybe some "sun-in" at some point I don't even know it's been years since I've done anything to it) the roots and top half of my hair (the newer growth) is the darker natural shade. Anyways .... It was ugly, brassy over grown, split ends etc.... I gave upon it. I have a lot of bad experiences with hair salons, high end salons or not. Often leaving feeling like I should have just left my hair the way it was, or do it myself. So I did that.... FOR YEARS. But I'm eloping with my best friend on Monday!!!! And it's also just time that I stop ignoring my hair. I needed to lift the darker blonde with a bunch of highlights, refresh the old "lemon and sun bleached blonde" to not be brassy and dull, and I also needed a new hair cut (hair thick and out grown down to my hips)... this kind of appointment was going to easily cost me anywhere from $400-$600+ and I knew that. So I started looking at Fantastic Sams reviews and searched them all up and down and sideways. This location has a lot of (recent) good reviews so I landed here. Then I found the stylist who had the most positive reviews mentioning them. Bayan. So I took my chances and booked with her. I'm SO GLAD that I did!!!! She sat me down, listened to my concerns, immediately knew exactly what she needed to do, communicated her vision to me perfectly and told me not to worry, my hair was going to be gorgeous. AND IT IS! So who is Bayan? Bayan is confident because she truly is a very skilled and experienced hair stylist, and it seems that she truly loves her job. She is also smart, friendly and kind. Results: She took my over grown dull brassy dishwater blonde hay-hair and turned it in to hair that is bright, light with dimension and no brass, it's healthy and alive. The cut is perfect for me too. I paid half of what it would cost anywhere else and got the best results ever! My fiancé loves it. I keep catching him looking at me and smiling and a lady at the grocery store asked me where I got my highlights done. Of course I told her Miss Bayan did them and she's over at the Fantastic Sam's by HEB on De Zavala!!!! Thank you so much Miss Bayan. I'll see you soon!

    Bayan blew me away with the work she did on my hair. The whole time I felt safe in her hands as she performed her magic onto my hair. I have never felt more confident in my hair until today. Thank you!!!

    My new me!!

    I love the way Bay cuts my hair. She is the BEST! FS is not a fancy salon but it's worth going there just for Bay. She's amazing.

Now she is waxes everything on me. My eye brows are on point, my cookie is smooth, my legs are hairless, and if she find a stray hair best believe it has met it's enemy.

This was a routine appointment--my usual services with the addition of a simple eyebrow cleanup. What I walked away with was not only physical damage but an experience so shockingly unprofessional that it has permanently soured my trust in this brand. The so-called "wax specialist" managed to get wax stuck in my hair and proceeded to over-wax one of my eyebrows to the point of it being practically bald. This was the complete opposite of what I clearly requested: a basic, minimal clean-up to maintain my natural shape. The difference between my two brows is glaring--something no competent technician should ever allow to happen. When I expressed my horror and asked to speak to the manager, Victoria Willis, a multi-unit manager, I was flat-out refused. Let me repeat that: A manager refused to speak to a customer who had just received visible, damaging, and unacceptable service at the hands of her staff. I've worked in the corporate world both as an employee and a customer, and never in my life have I witnessed such blatant disregard for customer care or accountability. In what world does a manager hide from a legitimate complaint involving botched services and physical injury? The sheer lack of professionalism, empathy, and basic human decency is appalling. To make matters worse, I had redness, irritation, and inflammation along my brow line and scalp from the wax--documented in the photos attached. No one in leadership offered an apology, or any form of resolution. I was only offered hair growth product AFTER I burst out in tears over this horrific experience and my close to bald brow. In the end, I was dismissed like my experience didn't matter. This location is an embarrassment to the EWC brand. If Victoria Willis is the standard for leadership, it reflects a toxic culture of negligence and cowardice. To the corporate office: Do better. And to other customers--go elsewhere unless you want your appearance and dignity left in shambles.

The facial was amazingggggg it was so relaxing and the massage was to die for. She gave such a detailed arm, shoulder rub down that at first made me think wait did I book a massage as well?!? But nope it comes with the massage! :)))) also the facial bed was so comfy, I honestly don't say this much but I feel like it's better than my own bed at home and my bed is really good. Also my brows came out perfect!!! Their products are all quality high end products which you can even purchase from them for at home use. I love the friendliness and homey feel of the salon. Very aesthetically pleasing. Def 10 stars if I could. I really do feel like they are already so busy that I hate to give a good review and won't be able to find an appointment. But I'd be doing a disservice to all women to keep this little charm to my self. So thank me later ladies.
