I wasn't going to leave a public review, but since the salon did not bother to reply to my email,…read morehere we are. Twice in the last few months the person who was doing my hair cancelled the morning of. I completely understand life happens - people get sick, emergencies arise, but when it happens twice in a row, the salon should do something more then send a generic text and then ignore their customers. After my replies to said text were not answered, I had to take it upon myself to call the salon to see if they could get me in another time. I made this appointment FIVE WEEKS in advance and needed my hair done for an event over the weekend. The woman on the phone was not very nice. When I expressed I was disappointed because this is the second time in a row this happened, she just said "we can't have people work when they're sick..." she completely missed the point. If I get cancelled on last minute, twice in a row, and you can't accommodate a new reservation, give your customer a discount or a free hair product. Not an attitude. Especially when the salon would have gladly charge me in FULL if I was the one to cancel last minute. Thankfully, I was able to find a place in the area that took me last minute so I will be paying them from now on. There are plenty of other places, who charge better, and care about their customers, so tread carefully with this place.

When I moved to Arizona 18 years ago I was so bummed to leave my favorite hair salon but when I come back to visit family and can get in to see him it's like I never left. I give him hardly any direction because he just knows what flatters my face even with the few more wrinkles and sagging skin I still feel like a beautiful young lady when I leave

I've been going to Xiomara's for 13 years (no exaggeration lol) I take my daughter there as well! I…read moretook a break for a few years but I've since returned. I will say that it's a Dominican salon however the staff speak English. The owner is usually working too unless she's away. I do recommend making an appointment in advance and arriving on time as there is a heavy turn around during the weekends. During the week there's a better chance for you to come in a slow paced manner. I'm sure this is a given, but bring either a book or your phone to have some entertainment while you dry. It'll help the time pass. Sometimes I am out in a little over an hour sometimes it's more if other clients arrive late which then pushes everyone else back. It is very culturally Dominican meaning there is sometimes a wait, rollers are done, blow drying is done, you're straightened, and you're good to go. However, I will say that if you're looking for a specific service -- you should mention it. For example, I do not sit under the dryer, I get wash/condition, then blow dry and straighten it. Its never been a problem. Sometimes the dry process depends on your type of hair though. For some it's best to sit under the dryer for others it's okay not to. They offer hair treatments, dye services, waxing, and sometimes basic manicures (if they have the staff.) Not sure about relaxers so I would check in on that. Parking is off street and metered. That meter lady DOES NOT play so make sure you're adding your coins on time. Last I went I also used the Passport parking app and that worked fine. 2 hour limit on most spots. They do accept cards, I recommend tipping in cash! The longer the hair, the pricier it is (common sense since it's more work) TO ME -- their prices are reasonable in a time where inflation is going crazy. I'll attach photos of my hair and my daughters hair but I've built trust over the years so I won't be going anywhere else. :-)

Texture is by far my favorite salon. John & Natasha are both incredible at their craft. They take…read morethe time to do the most perfect cut and color. Its warm, welcoming vibe is super cool. The specialized experience is not rushed or pretentious in any way. It's like a little sanctuary above the hustle and bustle of downtown Salem. It's also nice that time is cut out for you individually. It's not overcrowded when your specific time slot arrives, it's dedicated to you. I do not think there is a better creative team around. I could stare for hours at all the unique pieces they collect and design for the salon. Once you walk in and smell the incense, hear the relaxing guitar music, and then walk out feeling like a million dollars with your amazing look, you know you have found your salon. Everyone is made to feel welcome in this exceptional salon.

The trial felt rushed due to multiple competing appointments; the final hairstyle did not match my inspiration photos - the braiding felt underwhelming given how expensive the service was, and my curls fell completely right after I left. Because of these issues, I decided not to move forward with the salon for my wedding day and requested that my deposit be returned. I wished I could have resolved this directly with the salon, but they have completely ignored my multiple follow-up emails requesting the return of my refundable deposit. Be very careful sending any money to this business in advance, especially without a signed contract.
