DON'T do it! 1 dryer, 2 hours just to get under it. I sat and waited for my hair to be rolled, it was partially dry because she took so long, here comes the spray bottle!! I had to tell her not to wet my hair anymore because it was going to be soaked and I don't want to be under the dryer for an hour.Too late!!!!!# my hair is fre@kin soaked!!!! Tried not to look mad but I am not to successful at that. Being from N.Y has nothing to do with my disappointment, I've been to Dominicans hair salons in several states outside of N.Y. G.A, T.N, N.J. They really need to get it together here at Marinas. INvest in ur Business or this place will never be successful. Welp N.Y Dominican salon next time. I'll review hopefully it will be good. read more

I enjoy my time in Marina's Salon. I go in for both relaxers, and wash and blowout and Fabiola does a nice job. Never had any issues. Prices aren't NY cheap but it's not out of pocket either. Worth it to leave with nice hair. read more

I haven't really been excited to get my hair done in Houston because my hair would be poufy the moment I would walk out the salon . Well not only did I get the BEST SERVICE, but the sweetest stylist MAYRA !!! I a million percent recommend this little salon with great styling power ! Oh and super affordable !!! I got a cut, color, blow dry, for $85.00 read more

Marina's Dominican Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Houston, Texas

I finally found a place to get my hair done that is not outside the beltway. Marina's is not a fancy salon but it was clean and they had all the tools. i even saw Mary Kay for sale on the shelves. My stylist, Margarita, did a great job on my hair. She was no nonsense and worked fast. Suffice to say your hair WILL be straight by the time you leave. I was the first person there as a walk-in and they opened right on time. The location says Anai's beauty salon but apparently they have changed owners. The owner took my name and number to let me know when they have specials which I always attribute to good customer service. I will definitely be going back! read more

The owner is very nice but the hair stylist are not. The hair stylist don't know what they are doing.

I've been coming here for almost 2 years and I've left happy every time. Marina is really sweet and I've had at least three different beauticians. My Spanish may not be the best and neither is there English but when it comes to hair they know how to get the job done. Don't judge a book by its cover it's not the fanciest place but the quality is good read more

Overall my long natural hair (3c) was straightened beautifully. But, my hair suffered. Throughout the process, my hair was rough - handled with washing and combing. A small rat-tail to detangle natural hair is a no-no! I asked for a trim and she made excuses for trimming my hair. Regretfully, my hair experienced heat damage, so I definitely will not be going back. read more

Awesome service by Maria Rosanna (Stylist) and the rest of the salon's administrative staff! Just FYI -- not everybody that works here is Dominican; there mixed nationalities. I came in for a relaxer, roller-set, and blow-dry. Rosanna was great, caring, professional, down-to-earth, understanding, and communicative. She set expectations and the wait time was fair (not long at all). She was with me every step of the way asking me about my hair preferences. The ONLY reason why I give it 4 stars (and not 5) is b/c of their high prices. Coming from NY, it's way too expensive but of course kinda expected in Houston. They'd make more money and have even MORE regular customers if they drop the prices. The salon reads "Anai's Beauty Salon" outside in display (but it's Marina's). read more

Fabiola did an amazing job! She blow dry my hair and I don't have to use the flat Iron at all. It is a little bit pricey but for first time I don't have to go home and fix it. Also the owner Mrs. Marina is very attentive. read more

If you have Latin Hair you need to visit Marina's hair salon and make an appointment with Margarita. Her skills are superb and her great personality make you feel that you are a queen for a day. The salon facilities are modest but the service is magnificent. Mrs. Janet will greet you with a big smile and Mrs. Margarita will make sure that your hair style is just perfect. The price for a Dominican Blow Dry was $40, I added a deep conditioner for $15. Every penny was worth it. Getting from the medical center area to their location was a little far but easy. I recommend Marina's Hair salon 100%. read more

I am born and raised in NYC and moved to Houston for work. I needed a good Dominican place to take care of my hair and since I don't have any family in Houston I found this place on Yelp - despite the reviews I thought I would give them a try. I called before going in and explained that I wanted a wash and set - no blow out - the owner said $25.00 just as long as I didn't want a blow out. I brought my own products to wash, condition and set my hair and ended up paying $40.00!!! My hair is not long and I had to instruct the stylist on how to wash and set my hair!!??!! she seemed clueless. Nonetheless I will not be returning and I do not recommend this salon to anyone from the east coast who knows how their hair should be managed. read more

I would definitely recommend my friends and family to go there. I called about 30 mins before I got there bc I didn't want them to be thrown off by my unexpected arrival. The lady that answered English wasn't so good but she connected me with someone that was English fluent. I asked if they could do very thick course African American hair and they said yes. So when I arrived they were ready for me. They gave me the deep condition blowout & cut special that was only $55. Before you know it I was at the wash bowl and in the chair. The lady said my hair wasn't as course as I thought. Only there an hour and 30mins and my hair was done . I loved the way my hair looks and its so bouncy. The stylist Alexa can do a little better when blow drying but in all she was good. read more

I really wish I had done better yelp research before I went here. My experience was mediocre. My hair is natural, shoulder length and thick. They told me $40. I was tired and didn't feel like doing it myself after removing my extensions so whatever. I'm normally accustomed to paying $25 back home but it is what it is. One girl washed my hair twice and left conditioner in for about 3 minutes. Only 3 mins. Then another lady named Margarita came and sprayed my hair with the nozzle once over my hairline and began towel drying me. She then asked me to have a seat at her station. I had to stop her like ma'am there is still conditioner in my head. No way. They don't speak good English and the one who normally translates for them stepped out for a few. She didn't understand what I was saying and took me back to the bowl for another shampoo. Smh. & she was on crutches. When I sat down I noticed her parting my hair in sections to blow dry not roller set. This was odd. Most shops I've been to do that first and then round brush the blowout. I asked why she didn't use rollers and she said my hair was too short. Smh I have an above the shoulder line length bob. & if the prices vary by length why am I being charged this much? I didn't want to be a burden so I just went with the flow. Once she finished burning my scalp she pulled out the flat irons. What's the point of me coming here for a blowout ? I could've washed and flat ironed my hair at home. I've never used flat irons at a Dominican salon. The blowout gets it straight enough so there's really no need. They also use to much product. She sprayed and oiled like every section. My edges were still frizzy but like I said I was disappointed with the results by then so I just took the L. I made a suggestion about my concerns when I paid but I don't plan on returning. & I honestly hate to seem like a pest. At least my hair was clean and I could feel my scalp. Gotta find something positive out of it right? read more

Unprofessional! Owner said she'll only give discount (from $50 to $35) to those who say they are from NY! Ladies please be aware! Terrible! I'm from NY but I found that unfair. read more

My 8 year old daughter was in and out in under 2 hours, and that included the short 15 minute (maybe less) wait. Maria is VERY good. My kiddo loved her hair and looks forward to the next time she is allowed to have her hair professionally styled. The blow out lasted until her swim class (a full six days, only once did I need to flat iron). My daughter is very active so the fact that her blow out can last a week, maybe even longer (minus swimming) is super appealing for my lazy mommy moments. Will definitely be back to see Maria and her staff. read more

I was passing through Houston and wanted to get my hair blow dry straight like the way I've experienced when I was in the DR. So I looked up for a salon and ended up at Marinas due to convenience and the reviews. Let me say these women are very nice. The owner excepted the Yelp free deep conditioner offer even though it wasn't a mon or sun. I have typical Latina curly hair but it's naturally fine. For some reason finding people to cut it the way I like is hard to find. All though I told her I only wanted a little bit she almost cut off too much thank goodness I was paying attention and stopped her. The blowout itself was too much for me. It doesn't take much heat to straighten my hair but she went a little overboard and ended up scorching my hair. I remember in the DR that this styling left my hair feeling full silky, and flippy. At this location my hair feels burnt, it's flat, and is not what I thought. The haircut itself also wasn't even thank goodness she only cut a little. Looks like I'll have to grow it out. The women themselves are nice and did so their best to answer my questions and work with me despite the language barrier. So that's why they get at least 3 stars. read more

Wonderful place! They do a great job and have nice service. I have super kinky hair, but they always do a great job at giving me the perfect blowout. It is sometimes hard to communicate with them, but they always have about 2 staff members there that can help. Walk ins are acceptable as well. :) read more

This place is okay... I mean I'm not from TX so I'm used to getting $25 Dominican blowouts back home in NC and they would last almost 3 weeks but I know it won't last long from here. To be honest, if you're looking for really nice and bone straight hair don't go here! They claim to give you "discounts" but it isn't worth it. Also they charge more to flat iron your hair (this is a salon, why would you charge if I'm clearly here to get my hair done)They'll never see my face again! Smh step it up marina's!!! read more
