Absolutely love this place. I was wanting to get my hair colored with highlights. I looked up a couple of places and settled on Kay's. The place is located in a small shop center off of bitters and Blanco. The place itself is nice and clean. Staff is super friendly. Upon arrival I was greeted and sat down for my appointment. This place is by appointment only so I highly suggest you calling a week in advance. I was told they are busiest on Saturday. I had the pleasure of being scheduled with Ashley. I showed her a picture of what I was thinking of. I asked how long the process would take she let me know it would be about 3-4 hours. While we were in the process of doing my hair I noticed Ashley took her time to make sure everything was done right. She gives the best shampoo rinses! I was trying my best not to fall asleep during the process. She was attentive, patient, and very understanding. She was also very knowledgeable about the whole process. Fast forward to the end. I LOVE the way my hair came out. Absolutely gorgeous!! This was my first experience doing this type of service and Ashley did not disappoint. I am beyond impressed and satisfied with the service I received. I would highly recommend this place and suggest you ask for Ashley. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the entire duration of my service. I ended up paying 195 for what I did but it was completely worth what I paid. Thank you so much Ashley!! I look forward to seeing you again for my follow-ups! Yelpers and potential clients, do yourself and your hair a favor and try this place out! read more

I am from Cali and have done my hair several times there, but I am super happy coming across this salon in San Antonio. I found Justine who specializes in Asian hair despite my hair being difficult to lift and had a lot of old permanent dye which impacted it. She was super knowledgeable about how to fix and improve my hair color and taught me how to healthily maintain it. Kay spa is super clean and provides snacks and water, and all the staff was friendly too. I noticed how collaborative the culture was here and made the hours go by quick talking to the staff! I shall be back read more

The quality has definitely gone down, I've gone here for 5 years and left today in complete utterly shock!! The assistant did my hair, she was really sweet something I usually pay for $100 for was $170. I just got a plain all over color. Same amount of product. 3 bowls of color. I left with color all over my head, every stylist was talking to me and we all could see the same thing, I had to ask for a remover, and was just handed one couldn't even offer to help wipe it off. I've recommended sooo many clients in and out of here it just kinda felt a little rude to walk out feeling like I was taken advantage of, it was the most uncomfortable cringy feeling as they debated and talked about how much to charge me for 10 mins. Shouldn't it be a flat rate price what's there to discuss? I feel like they got upset because I optd out of a trim, witch would've been $70 so literally still charged me for the trim. $100 for the color & depended who you go to cuts range $55-70 read more

I absolutely love Sky! When I was looking to cut my my hair I was so scared because I had very long hair. I wasn't even sure that anyone would know how to cut it how I envisioned in my own mind. However, I ran across sky's Instagram page and automatically knew that she would be the right fit for me. I was able to book an appt very quickly and I loved everything about her. She made me feel so comfortable and took her time at cutting my hair. She did the most amazing job at taking it from long to short. This is not the first time I have chopped it off so drastically and let me tell you when I did I was not happy. This time I didn't question my decision instead I was beyond happy I did it. Sky is just amazing! I don't dye my hair but if I did I know I would come straight to sky! She just knows her stuff! You won't be disappointed! Also! Now that my hair has started to grow out it is not in an awkward stage at all! Her cut just grows out so perfectly! read more

I can't say enough good things about Kay's, Skyla and the whole group! I moved here from Oklahoma 2 years ago, and tried 2 different salons before stumbling upon Kay's. Skyla met with me before my appointment to get a feel of what I was looking for and to give me an estimate. I feel confident enough with this team, that I can literally walk in and say "make it look good", and let them do their thing. I have never been disappointed and will only go to Kay's from now on. If you want great service for a reasonable price you must go! Skyla and Andy are so easy to talk to, and give great advice on what to watch next on Netflix/Hulu! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!!! read more

I discovered Kay's Salon last September. I had taken a few years off from highlighting my hair due to a bad salon experience that I had endured elsewhere. I saw some of the work that Skyla posted on various social media accounts, and was very impressed. I went in to the salon and I felt immediately welcome by all of the staff, and was thrilled with how professional and friendly Skyla is. My most recent visit she did a beautiful peach toner, that I absolutely loved! I can not speak highly enough of Skyla and Kay's Salon, please go check them out yourself! read more

Beautiful salon in a great area. I went here and was seen by David. He gave me the most gorgeous Vivid pink hair and a beautiful cut. I left with my hair beautiful, healthy, and vibrant! He customized my color to fit me and fit what I wanted. The entire staff was so friendly and fun. Great experience from start to finish over a month later and my hair still looks perfect. Could not be any happier than I was. I loved that he took the time to educate me on how to take care of vivid hair, they were not product pushy at all. Many times I've gone to salons and come out with damaged hair or color that wouldn't stay. This is not the case at Kays. They're experts at getting you what you want while maintaining hair health. This will absolutely be my hair salon home while we're here in SA. 5 stars from start to finish. read more

I've been going to this salon since 2011 and there is no other place like it in San Antonio. Aside from the staff being kind, courteous, and fun they are ALL damn good at their job. I usually go to David for my cut and color, he has taken my hair from blonde to ombré to black to purple (in a span of 8 years) and no one could have done a better job. He tells me what is healthy to do with my hair and how to keep it long! I love this place so much. read more

I went to Roger a few times before. I always end up leaving there with him saying "we will get it EXACTLY right next time!" Hm... I'm really only wanting highlights? Why can't I just get the touch ups I want done? Why does it cost $250/visit and I don't even get what I am coming for? I KNOW that I have been overcharged here. It's really hard to tell when they do over-charge you but it definitely DOES happen. I'm not going back. They can't ever get my hair the way I want it! read more

I loved my experience here at Kay's Salon & Spa. It was my very first time dying my hair so I was super nervous and scared to see how it would come out! I was very impressed by the results. Skyla did an amazing job! And she made sure I absolutely loved it when I left. Sky also took her time with the process and explained everything to me including the aftercare! If you're looking for a great salon with great people that make you feel right at home, Kays Salon is the place! read more

Kay's salon and spa is like home to me, I've been going there for years with David, Kira, Andy, and skyla I can't believe it's taken me 5 years to write a review and I wish I could write twenty more! I have never gotten a bad haircut, David has helped me explore so many different styles and even dabble with color, help me get through the good and the ugly and just some bad they have saved me from multiple botched jobs, they have all inspired me to go into cosmetology myself and still do to this day! I recommend anyone and everyone I can to come and visit this salon because they are just amazing people all around. I can't wait until next time! Hopefully sooner rather than later read more

3 minutes ago A picture is worth a thousand words. On 5/11, I walked into the salon with my daughter. She showed the stylist the pic on the top right. Her hair going in is shown on the top left. She already had the blonde in her hair already. When I returned to the salon to pick up my daughte her facial expression said everything. We walked out and she was very upset. We didn't leave the lot and walked back into the salon to speak with the stylist. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the service. Let me add that my daughter received a haircut as well that was noticably uneven. The stylist said, "Ok. Let me fix it ...". Fine, it was passed 7:30pm when she was done. She had been there since 4:30pm. I had worked all day and had two little ones at home. Her attempt to fix my daughter's hair was awful. It looked orange/red and in some spots especially closer to her scalp it was blotchy. Her skin tone terrible clashed with the hair color. I knew I was going to need to come back to speak with a supervisor. I went in the following day 5/12 at 10am when they opened to speak with a supervisor. I was told by the stylist to come back at 7:00 pm to discuss and make it right. I showed up at 6:30pm and waited. The stylist approached noticeably perturbed and kept telling me that she'd provide a "free service" to fix it by adding highlights. I told her that I was concerned because there had been chemical added already and more may cause my daughter's hair to fallout. She and her colleague advised that her hair would not fall out, but it would sustain damage with chemical. Her colleague felt it important to join in and make certain I understood that this was a "free service." Really? I paid over $200 for a service I didn't get. He wanted me to understand that a lot of time had been invested in providing the worst hair coloring job I'd ever seen. I asked for a supervisor. I was informed "Kay'" works on Friday's and Saturday's, but if I wanted to speak with her I would need "wait around because she has her own clients." Am I not a client? It was evident at that moment that there is zero pride in the services provided and certainly no care in the world about taking care of their customers. This isn't the first time I've been at this salon, but it'll be the last time. My daughter now has white hair framing her face and a cascade of other colors noticeably on the back of her head. Her hair is still uneven and its beginning to fallout. This was a horrible experience. A waste of MY time and money. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place. Save yourself some grief and go somewhere else. Kay if you're reading this and have time in between YOUR CLIENTS give me a call it's the right thing to do. read more

Ugh... where to start. First I waited 30 minutes for my appt with Kay. I get you may run late but call and let me know. I could have run more errands... Secondly, she sprayed so much hairspray in my hair and then proceeded to use a flat iron over it sizzling my hair!! It was awful!! I have super fine hair and that is a no no... she should know better. Then she was yanking on my hair so hard and brushing it out fully when i have EXTENSIONS. It was so painful and when i told her it hurt she acted like i am tender headed (which im not). Thirdly, I showed her a photo of a low and loose updo. She started sooo high. I had her take it down and go lower. She still didn't want to do what I was waiting. Finally she got it somewhat right but at that point my hair looked like a rats nest. If you want an updo, look elsewhere... she ruined my hair. Not just for the night but foreseeable future. read more

I went to Kay's Salon recently for the first time and Jennifer cut my hair. The salon is pretty and Jennifer was very nice. I showed her a picture of what my hair looks like when it has been cut so she would have an idea of how to cut it. Unfortunately, my hair cut turned out to be a disaster. It was cut way too short and didn't look like the picture at all. It was supposed to be tapered so that it was longer at my chin, but shorter going back. It was cut straight across and was at least an inch too short. My husband made a comment to me that my hair cut did not look good at all and suggested I find a new place. It will be a month before it's at the length it should have been cut at. read more

I've gone here three times now to get my hair colored and cut. I went with Skyla every time and have had the best experience every time! She accommodates so well and even can book you over her Instagram (@skylacolors) so it's super easy and saves me a phone call. She posts her work which makes her so trustworthy. I never have anxiety getting my hair done with her! Skyla is passionate and young and super relatable/easy to talk to. I've always had really thin hair that I've been so self conscious about and coming here has boosted that confidence so much. Every other stylist who works here that I've met is really nice and it's always been a pleasant environment to be in! Especially when getting your hair done takes hours. This place is truly a gem! read more

So I've been going to Kay's Salon since 2018. I first met David and his team when I got my hair seriously destroyed by a salon in Helotes. The lady just kept dying it trying to fix it. Finally I said no more and sought out recommendations for a new hairdresser. My friend highly recommended David so I gave it a shot despite living an HOUR away from the salon. I'll never forget the honesty and the look on his face when he saw my hair! It was so dried out and just damaged. I love that he was super honest with me throughout the whole process. How many hairdressers will say no to redyeing your hair to get the color you want. He went over how damaged it was and how he was going to help me fix it. Instead we just cut more off and he went to work with his magic to fix the color. Not only did he fix the hot mess of hair but when I was checking out he looked at me and sighed a bit. He felt so terrible for what A DIFFERENT salon had done to my hair. He gave me some Olaplex free of change to help my hair and I about cried. Right then I knew this guy cared about his work and really wanted to help me. I've been a loyal customer ever since even with the drive, lol. I would highly recommend David, Sky, Andy and his whole team! They are so much fun to be around too!!! read more

Kay really messed up my hair! Ahh it happens you say...but never fun when your hair breaks due to over processing. Adding to the experience Kay blew dry my hair by leaving a few round brushes in as to cool down and set curl. Very Old School!!! Kay was to busy dealing with a broken water heater, chatting it up with her son (a co worker) with family stuff. None of which was any of my business or interests. Not to mention the continuing interruption by a receptionist in training. Kay did in admit to making a mistake .. Was hard not to! What ever happened to servicing your customer? It's taken a long while for the hair to grow and to correct the mess she made of me. I am better now!!! read more

Great place ! Excellent hairstylist s! They have great hours! Place is clean and modern !

Andy's been doing my highlights for a few years now and I always leave feeling beautiful! A little pricey but other than that it's worth it

I've been going to Kay's for over four years and have had excellent service every single time. David took time to talk to me about my beauty routine, my lifestyle, and my preferences before he did a single thing to my hair. Every appointment has started with a discussion about how my hair is doing and if I have anything specific I liked or didn't like about the last cut. This is the only salon where I have regularly talked about my hair before a cut is made. They are true professionals and I cannot recommend them enough! read more

I should probably preface this review by admitting I am probably one of the most picky and difficult people when it comes to who touches/styles my hair. David and Andy are an absolute dream! David took the time to consult with me to figure out what I liked and didn't like. Considering I had never done anything to my hair, David was extremely knowledgeable of his hair products, style, and extremely fun yet professional. Andy was great at styling my hair and giving me exactly what I wanted. He is a perfectionist when it comes to hair which I appreciate so much! I now live in Dallas and am happy to travel back to San Antonio to have done at Kay's Salon! read more

Love love love Kay's!! David has been cutting and coloring my hair for years now and I'm always satisfied! He takes the time to get to know you, your likes/dislikes, and your lifestyle so he can give you a style that really fits you. I'm really wishy washy and always want something different, and he's amazing at coming up with styles and colors I'll love. The whole staff is friendly and fun, and Kay herself is so sweet! I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone! read more

I moved to San Antonio without knowing anyone about a year ago. When I moved here I needed a hair cut but I was hesitant to find someone I could trust as I've had unflattering haircuts in the past. I have a LOT of wavy hair with some curl. I called around town looking for someone who could get me in fairly quickly but who was also familiar with my type of hair. I felt most comfortable talking with David over the phone bc he was helpful with explaining things during our short conversation. He set me up with Kay and I have been a customer for about a year now! I was hesitant to make any drastic changes to my hair at first. Kay understood and she has been so patient with me!! I fully trust her to cut and color my hair. We have grown from trims to cuts and subtle color changes to a little bolder. She spends so much time with me to ensure I have the most beautiful cut and color every time. Seriously, I had never had someone blow dry my hair completely until Kay!! They were shocked when I told them that. Kay is consistent and caring. Everyone at the salon is welcoming and makes their customers feel like old friends. Go book an appointment now! You'll love the shampoo as well. read more

David Solis has been my stylist since I moved to San Antonio in 2013 and I will not have anyone else cut or color my hair. He knows what he is doing and is very honest about his opinion (i.e., he will tell you if what you want will work for you or if he can accomplish the look). Also, the atmosphere of the salon is great! Kay and Andy are always friendly and I love just sitting in the chair and chatting with everyone, while getting my hair done. On the one or two times that I have tried a new stylist (from a different Salon) to save on costs, I ultimately had to call David to fix the damage that was done and he was able to. Andy is my go to guy to style my hair for special events and I would highly recommend as well. read more

I really wanted to like this place. But here's a tip: if you want clients to come back, don't "forget they were on the schedule" then have the receptionist do their hair instead. I get we're all human and make mistakes but I wasn't even offered a discount for such poor service. This was also the second time the receptionist did the majority of my color. I didn't make an appointment with the receptionist. I came to see a professional hair stylist. I never write bad reviews but they made me feel like chopped liver on a day I was supposed to feel pampered. Sad. I won't be going back. read more

I saw David for the first time, since I just moved to San Antonio. I've been to many salons over the years, and this one by far is my favorite. David spent all day with me, we consulted to make sure we were on the same page about my expectations and what his vision was. It was truly amazing. I can't wait to go back! I would recommend this salon to anyone! read more

Beth Box is the best! I've been going somewhere else for awhile now but was never satisfied with my hair. It's thick, wavy and I needed someone who listened when I say, thin it out! She applied a beautiful color, let me take a conference call in one of their rooms and an amazing cut. Everyone was so nice, accommodating and it was a fun experience. I have finally found my SA salon! read more

Love this salon! Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I feel heard when I explain my struggles with my hair. My stylist, Andy, is always helpful with input and a master with coloring and highlights (before we decided to go with my natural gray hair post chemo). Now he creates the cutest short pixie cut for me and I love it! He has stolen my heart. Honestly, every stylist at Kay's is super talented! They all are committed to making sure their clients are cared for and have beautiful results when they leave the salon. read more

Kay's salon is the best. I've been going to David since I was 16 years old and haven't had my hair done anywhere else since then! I always love what we end up doing. He is really willing to work with you about what you want/like and isn't afraid to try out new styles/colors with you. My hair is definitely always the coolest ever. I would highly recommend trying them out. read more

I have been getting my hair cut here for six years; David is seriously so talented! I have also had my hair done in an updo twice, and both times it's been great. Kay is always wonderful and attentive and the new staff member, Jin, is also very sweet and knows what she is doing. I haven't personally had any experience with the other staff members but I know that they are all amazing at what they do! They also have a nice line of salon hair products that I enjoy. I will continue coming here! read more

Not a good experience. Look elsewhere. I just moved back to San Antonio and was looking for a salon. I saw this salon had great reviews and wanted to check it out. I made an appointment with Roger. I wanted to get my hair colored, and wanted to do a basic medium ash brown. He started off by being very critical of the hair elastics i was using. He was also critical that my hair was in bad shape. I, like a lot of people, am very busy, am working a lot, and don't always have the time to devote to my hair. That's why I made an appointment. When he went to put the color on, he left the color on a little too long, and my hair looked super dark and the ends looked nearly black. I was looking for a medium ash brown. I was not happy. I think he could tell I wasn't very happy and he said to call in a couple of days. I called Alta Moda Salon where I'd been going before, 2-3 years back. Thankfully Sally was able to get in. I explained what I wanted and she saved the day. She corrected it. It looks great and I'm very happy with it! I had to shell out an extra 130 bucks to get it corrected. Was not happy about that. Next time I'll go see Sally. read more

I am new to Kay's Salon. I have been twice now my hair and I am very happy. Everyone is very nice, helpful, and friendly. The conversations are funny and informative and everyone gets along well and they seem like a family. The customer service is great and you always feel like your valued. The salon is clean and well kept. I am very impressed with the services they offer to include pedicures, manicures, massages, and facials. Can't wait to try out everything they do. read more

I've always jumped around to different hair salons depending on what side I town I lived on at the time but I think I have finally found my go-to hair salon in town. Kay and David truly made me feel like family. Kay is so sweet and David is so funny. So I have box-dyed dark brown hair and I went in asking for light ash blonde balayage. Unrealistic... I know lol. I wasn't expecting to walk out looking like the pictures I had shown them, but I was hoping for a cool-toned light brown end result which Kay understood. She took her time with me. I was offered water during my visit. She also knew that I was in a rush so she happily obliged when I asked her if we could skip the blow dry and style. To be completely honest, I am not happy with the end result bc the balayage looks very orange-y after I had explained to Kay that I wanted the warmth out. I'm also not pleased about the fact that I was still charged 275.00 for an end result that was nowhere near what I asked for... BUT... they are still getting a 5 star review from me bc I understand that having very dark, box-dyed hair makes it difficult to apply any light color. The salon itself is so cozy and they made me feel right at home and I have the utmost confidence that Kay will give me the results that I asked for after a couple more visits. I just know it. The customer service that I received outweighed the fact that I wasn't very happy about the end result. I look forward to my next visit. Will update my review then. read more
