I loved getting my hair done once but I went here today. I'm unsure why but there's only 1 worker but she's taking walk ins? She could see I have a 1 year old baby and instead of letting me know when she'd be done with the 3 before me, she let me sit for over an hour and hadn't even finished 1 person's hair. Also they have a sign on the door that says you have to make an appointment yet they're also saying they can take walk ins. Don't recommend unless you wanna sit for 5 hours waiting for the ONE person doing hair to finish with at least 1 of the people ahead of you. Not sure what happened to the mom and daughter who do hair here but I won't be coming back. read more

Ok so beauty salons are are of my favorite places to review. I have mixed feelings about this one due to my last experience. I never let the staff know that I actually understand Spanish although I am not a fluent speaker. This time I caught the shampoo assistant telling the stylist that my "pelo es malo y largo" (my hair is bad and long). They definitely have a preference for 2/3 type hair but I have seen all types in the salon. I usually pay by digital method but this time I was forced to go across the street to the gas station ATM to pay in cash. Not really a good look. Pros: They do a good job generally Its not far from downtown Price is competitive Cons: No frills or comforts in this salon May or may not take cash May or may not trash talk you en español read more

La Perla Dominican Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

My mom, sisters and I have been going to Perla's for over 7 years and we absolutely love Perla and her daughter Edelyn. Not only do they make all my hair dream reality they also prioritize the health of our hair. My hair grows faster now, has a natural shine and is hydrated and healthy. We have done everything from getting a bob hairstyle, getting highlights, doing dirty blonde, to getting my hair braided and getting the BEST hair extensions. No matter the style Perla and Edelyn have me leaving the salon feeling so beautiful. Also the environment they create is high energy and fun. Get ready for some Dominican vibes. So thankful for these ladies and their dedication to their clients. They have styled me, my mom and my sisters for the biggest moments in our lives: my engagement, my wedding, countless graduations, parties, birthdays and celebrations. Thank you, Perla Dominican Salon! read more

I was desperate... I had matted my hair after taking out my braids. When I say this place saved my hair it's not an exaggeration! Just look at the pictures. They didn't have to cut any of my hair... I swear I'm so grateful for these ladies, the entire time they said "con amor y paciencia" translation with love and patience. These women are amazing at what they do. I'll be heading back soon read more

I came in September to get a wash & blow dry ONLY I loved it. I returned a couple months later and was told by the daughter that they dont provide that service and NEVER did. I showed them a picture of them doing it at THEIR establishment. She said that if she does it, it will be $100...(last time i paid $50 w/ a $10 tip) then proceeded to separate my hair aggressively. I ended up leaving with my hair WET before things got physical. read more

Visited once , pearla hooked me up for my birthday Very different from the Dominican salon I go to in Ga but my hair was poppin read more

Finally found a place that can handle my hair. The ladies at this salon was super super amazing. Thank you so much for making me feel at home and transforming my hair. See you guys in couple weeks read more

La Perla Dominican Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

Tiffany N. ~ WOW! I've been going to La Perla for months now. Never once have I had any kind of damage or excessive heat added to my hair. I will admit that the place isn't fancy but Perla and Rosie are experts in getting your DAMAGED hair under control and healthy, that's the point right? I've referred this place to lots of individuals that have course natural hair that needed treatments and restoration to their dry damaged hair...and not one complained and continue service from them. I've written reviews on this location and highly recommend that people go to them because they truly have the best DOMINICAN blow out in Houston (plus they are really Dominican). I am sure that your damage was already set when you came in and the pictures they took was to protect them from your claims that they damaged your hair... ****LADIES THEY HAVE THE BEST DOMINICAN BLOW IN HOUSTON**** My recommendation is to go during the week or EARLY on the weekend to get your blow down right...this place isn't fancy but they do excellent work and a great price. Bring cash in hand because they do not accept credit cards or checks. read more

Got my natural hair deep conditioned and pressed here. I waited for a very long time which was fine since I didn't have an appt. However, the overall process took 4hrs! Additionally, only Perla is able to trim/ cut hair so I would have had to wait more time,even though I expressed that from the start. My hair was very straight but very limp because of the oil they used to flat iron. I don't see myself going back there unless I have a whole day to waste. Pro- my silk press lasted for 2 weeks read more

So I traveled over 30 minutes to see what the rave was about. When I entered the establishment I was hardly greeted. The energy and vibe was very cold. I had to say hi first just to get a half-ass greeting. The shop looked old and run down and the staff looked like they had better things to do which brings me to my next point. I have light brown hair that I wanted lifted to blonde. After critiquing my hair for about 5 minutes I was told that she couldn't do it in fear of damaging my hair. If you can't do hair just say that! While I appreciate her concern, it was clear they didn't want to tend to me from the time I walked in. The dirty looks and lady applying her lipstick before she even greeted me said all I needed to know!The older lady was more pleasant then who I believe is her daughter. Long story short if you want a quality salon, with quality hair dressers do not go to this raggedy run down place. Take your hard earned money and give it to people that appreciate you. read more

There is nothing professional about This salon and the daughter Edelyn is extremely rude, talks about you in Spanish and her prices are never the same. Even if you get the exact same style read more

La Perla is perfect solution if you are trying to transition from natural to straight hair... However, that is not my case!!!! I typically get my 4b/4c hair straightened 3 times a year. Unfortunately, after extensive reviews via yelp, Google and other outlets I found La Perla. I wish I hadn't. My once amazingly thick hair is damn near bone straight after several washes. The heat utilized at La Perla is extreme and I sincerely regret going. However, if you enjoy wearing your natural hair permanently straight, then La Perla is your place. read more

Spending your money at a place should count and as customers one should be serviced. I went to this salon to try it out as I'm new in the area, I will tell you I went in for the basic wash/blow. I got my hair washed and I did rollers like I typically do, as I saw how they did other client's hair I changed my mind quickly I decided they were not going to touch my hair beyond the rollers. Also, they need to improve their customer service; I get not doing every crazy thing a customer ask for cause it could damage their hair if it is colors, but someone wanting to get their hair blow dry from wet straight should be no issue that is of course if one can really do hair, I guess because they do not every one has to get rollers. I did not experience the being forced to get rollers or we won't serve you but another customer did as I was there. That helped me solidify the fact that after the dryer was done so was I. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place, don't waste your hard earn money here, the only Dominican thing about the Salon is the big flag in it. read more

Im a Black woman. Have natural hair and a big head lol. My hair ranges from 3c-4c in any given spot on this head. Soooooooo I saw this on Yelp and rushed over to try this salon. Small and homely which is cool with me. Neither hair dressers speak much english so be prepared. Typical blowout is $40 which is crazy cheap to me. Took a while to be seen which is normal for a Friday evening. Wash, deep condition, rolled and under the dryer. Then blowed out which is a bit painful. Then the flat iron. Hair looked beautiful. But it rained soon as I left the salon and so I came back the next day for a trim and a little flatiron which was 15. I will be back. Good salon. So far a week out, still silky and straight, wanna go back for a little flatiron. Also, youre gonna have to oil your scalp because it will get very dry at home. Bonus, they know natural hair. Often times when you flat iron natural hair, it can be frizzy on the wnds and appear to be split when it actually isnt. They know this and didnt cut my hair until i requested. That's awesome to me read more

I did a lot of searching for any place that could cut or trim curly hair and I was very skeptical about this Dominican blow out as well but La Perla talked me through it! Best decision I've ever made!! My hair doesn't stay straight at all in this Houston humidity, but this blow out has made my hair silky and straight not a spot of frizz AND the ladies are so sweet! Definitely coming back soon read more

La Perla Dominican Salon - Before the blow out! - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I tried this place out because it was closer to my house than my usual place on Bingle rd. The staff was okay and somewhat friendly besides the fact that they kept calling me an Americano, guessing I didn't understand Spanish. I grew up in Brooklyn and The Bronx and I am highly disappointed in this salon. I got there at 12:30 and didn't leave until 7:30, which I am accustomed to a few hours in the shop with the process but that was ridiculous for a blowout and trim, they were very slow. The wash girl completely soaked the whole back of my clothes and I mean soaking wet. Then when all said and done they charged me $110 because my hair is full and long. Not ever in my life have I ever paid this much for a blowout and trim at any kind of salon. I'm black with 3B grade hair which is a looser pattern than most Dominican Women's hair. I've never paid extra for the same services on the same course hair just as the salon styles, just because I'm not bald headed!!! So after being in the salon for a full day, I'm home not even an hour, I walk my dog and my ends and edges puff up. Long story short I will never go back to this place again. And yes I've had a blowout at a Dominican salon post covid, one in PA blowout and trim $60 and Bronx $75. Complete waste of an entire day and money. The salon is very run down which I don't mind a hole in the wall but the wash bowls were broken/ raggedy, they had old worn down equipment ie; flat irons, combs, brushes and no capes. If you're charging $110 per head then everything in the shop should be efficient and at least mid grade quality! Never again! read more

Still 5 star worthy! I'm moving out of state and am sad that I am leaving her capable hands! Gratefully, I have found a new salon, and have been able to transition. I feel compelled to update, because I see there has been an unflattering review. I like my hair bone straight. That's the way I prefer to wear my hair. I can understand, however, those who do not want that. With that said, La Perle does not straighten my hair bone straight. She doesn't want to. And she knows that while I want straight hair, I also don't want damaged hair. This is a woman who has done Afro American/Latina hair more years than I've been living probably (I'm her daughter's age). She will listen to your desires and do what you want. So if you give her the opportunity do you your hair, give her an opportunity to meet you hair care wishes as well. You won't be disappointed. read more

I love this place. I go during off times so I don't have to worry about crowds. Leila (sp?) did my hair today and it was perfect. And I was in and out in about two hours-yassss! read more

Love this salon! Full of culture, warmth and hospitality! These hard working women (mother and daughter) make sure that each costumer have a wonderful experience with amazing results, and they truly excel in their services! I loved my hair! They brought back the shine and life to my hair! My hair looks amazingly healthy! I highly recommend their services. I have been to many salons all over Houston where prices are crazy expensive and the service is awful while your hair looks dull and dry. At perla salon, they use great products that do not damage your hair and the prices are very affordable compared to many other salons out there. I will continue coming here because they know my hair and what it needs! Thank you ladies! read more

So I arrived at 12 noon and there was like 3 people ahead of me. They were also working on a little girls hair she was like 5 who was screaming and crying while they try to detangle her long thick hair. I spent about 2 hours waiting patiently and listening to the screaming and crying child. I know that they can't control that but it is not fair to the customers waiting who have to endure this while they wait and or get serviced. I was a little disappointed. Finally after an hour music was turned on which helped to cancel out the noise just a little bit. My hair came out good just was by happy about the wait. I was going to post this review but I figured I'd give it another try. That day was 2* So I Returned 2 weeks later on a Tuesday morning 1st person there. I had Perla do my hair. I personally prefer one person working in my head and Perla. With no interruptions and me being the only one she could focus on my hair. I felt like there was a big difference between both appointments. I was in and out within 2 hours and my hair was laid. This one 5* Instagram @Kharima4 read more

So I have 3c-4a soft hair texture. I love this place! You can't beat the price and the results. I am fully nature and I rarely get my hair straightened but when I do I get it done here and it last about a full 2 weeks. My mom has long beautiful course hair and her hair looks amazing. Once you get your blow out your hair will be super silky and it will LAST!! Perla does a great job but her daughter does a n even better job. The only downfall is the wait sometimes but I love this place ! read more

Amazing job!! I went in for a blow out , I left looking like I just got a relaxer! I have never been so happy with my hair leaving a hair salon!! I went early afternoon and I was able to get in the chair as soon as I stepped in. The ladies were very sweet and you could tell that they toke pride in doing hair. They definitely made a regular! read more

This salon I would recommend to everyone with natural frizzy and curly hair. I have experience going to Dominican salons and I will say this is one of the best one I have went. I liked their treatment and vibe and my hair came out wonderful shinny and straight. The wait and price is not that bad in return to the results. read more

No one does hair like a Dominican. Perla is one of the best. Cheerful atmosphere, and she does magic with hard to manage hair. Worth the drive plus she is reasonably priced. Up ok read more

I being coming for this salon for 4 years and i always leave with a great hair they have never damage my hair and they always do the job right. read more

I went to this salon at about 6:15 on a Friday night. I have African American 4a & 4b type hair and had never gotten a Dominican blow out so I was pretty nervous but decided to give it a try. I don't think Pearla did my hair.. I think the other lady (Anna ?) did my blowout but the results were FANTASTIC ! The blow-dry process was slightly intense but I found the overall process to be quick ( 2 hours) and very effective as my hair has stayed straight in Houston 100 degree weather for the past 2 weeks. The price was very reasonable and she deep conditioned my hair ( no extra charge) and used a heat protectant which I thought was great. I would definitely recommend this salon to any one, especially natural chicks like me, who want to straighten their hair for a change. I will definitely return ! read more

I am happy I found this place today!!!!! I moved from NY to Houston a few months and I tried a few salons and was not happy. I got my hair colored, cut, treated and blown with Carina. My hair is damaged from hair extensions and my hair looks simply amazing now. Perla was also very pleasant and made sure I was pleased with the results of my hair. I am so so happy and thank you so much! I highly recommend. read more
