Color, wash, cut, and style by Rochelle.
Misty M.

I wanted to add that lately I've been getting my hair cut by Julie and that I still love this place. Julie cuts my hair exactly how I ask and she might be my new favorite, although Rochelle can't be replaced either. Also you just can't beat the price and quality here. $40 for a wash, cut, and style, and their professionalism always warrants a good tip. This is one of those places that's so good that you want to gatekeep so others don't find out about them, but they deserve it all.

I started seeing Julie about 2 1/2 months ago & i love her. I've seen her 2 times. I've recolored my hair both times and opted for a big chop & she did wonderful.

Kayla!! Go see Ms. Kayla!!! I loved what she did to my hair and she was so sweet and easy to talk to. Did exactly what I wanted and I love it!! I will def go back!!

HORRIBLE CHOPPY HAIR
Zoey S.

Sensational Hair "professionals" completely butchered my hair. I am beyond devastated because my hair is too short and I can't fix it. I went in two months ago to get a haircut and asked my hair stylist for a layered haircut. She styled my hair and charged me extra to style it and when I went home to shower, my natural hair was choppy and uneven. It looks like a toddler got scissors and ran it through my hair. She fixed it with a coverup by curling my hair and hiding the fact that she completely ruined my hair. I waited to update my review because I thought my hair will grow out. It hasn't. 2 months later and my hair is still a horrific mess, I cannot let my hair down. I keep my hair tied up because I'm so embarrassed. I have to grow my hair out longer before I can even cut it again to even it out.

Julie was Awesome! Helped bring me back from the old and washed out.

Julie was awesome!. Needed a makeover.. Julie was patient, helpful and awesome. She transformed a washed out look to one full of life.

I googled this place because I really needed my hair done. I had never been but it was easy to find. At first glance of the facility l, I won't lie, I was apprehensive. It looked a little dated and the ac had gone out a few days before. I already had an appointed, so I decided to stay. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! Turns out the temperature was very comfortable (they had fans and portable ac units going.) Julie took me to her chiar & asked what I wanted. Even though I had a picture in my head, it's always harder to describe it out loud... after a brief discussion (during which I was pretty vague) Julie showed me some swatches, we agreed and she got started. 4 hours later, for the first time in my LIFE!!! I had EXACTLY what I wanted, and what I stumblelingly asked for!!!!! I could not be happier with my hair!!! I feel like a different person!!! I have always avoided mirrors, now I seek them out just to look at my super cool hair! :) Thank you Julie!!!! Honestly all the staff there was professional and sweet. I was also told that they will be updating the look soon too - although in their case... it doesn't matter. The work they did for me FAR outshone the slightly outdated building!!! I have found my hair home!!!

Ask the Community - Sensational Hair

I been using Goldwell color since someone burned my scalp with a color. Do you have it?

We use Matrix color. We have a non-ammonia color that we can order. We would need to do a consult first to make sure we have the color you need.

How much is a men's haircut?

$16-25, depending on the haircut.

Hi I wanted to see if you do hair tinsel and how much it'll be?

We do not do that. We are looking into it.

Good morning. What different types of perms do y'all do?

We do Matrix and K-pak

How much would a pixie cut be?

$20 to $30.

I added a photo to the gallery. I was wondering what the price range would be for that color?

It depends on your natural color and how much color we have to use. We would need more information to give you a price.

Hi, does anyone know how to do a wolfcut?

Yes Julie can schedule it for you. She knows that cut. Give us a call at 210-491-0712 to set up an appointment.

Hi. I just moved back to the area and I am looking for someone comfortable with very short hair (last time I lived here that was a problem). I also have some of the hair color my previous stylist used. Can you help?

Give us a call at 210-491-0712 to set up an appointment.

Hi I was wondering if you have an email or phone number I could text to ask some specific questions about my hair? I apologize I just don't have time to get on the phone right now

You can email at sensationalhair@ymail.com, we are closed until Tuesday so your email will probably not be answered until Monday.

Hi I've been asking around and I was wondering if you all do male perms?

Yes we do, I am doing one tomorrow.

Hi! I'm in search of a new hairstylist here in San Antonio! I'm from NY originally but San Antonio hair salons are just so expensive in comparison to NY! What would the price range be for a trim with bangs and some highlights?

My cut and blow dry was $30...very reasonable. Not sure about highlighting prices but I'm sure if you call they will let you know. Very friendly salon

She is so sweet and professional and caring and you can tell she truly cares about her clients. I had gotten my hair done years ago from another salon and they bleached and butchered my hair so I was so nervous to come to another salon to get it done. But Kassandra took the time to listen and my hair is BEAUTIFUL! She is an expert on hair cuts as well, I went from long hair with no volume or definition to beautiful long layers with bangs that frame my face, I got a balayage done and now that I have lived here for 5 years I think I have found my new salon. Also a big shoutout to the owners as well, Roger was super professional and you can tell very proud of his studio he runs it well, he checks on every single client that comes in to make sure all the stylist are doing PERFECT work. I seriously cannot say how amazing this place was the two times I have come. Thank you Kassandra and Roger for making me feel beautiful:) you guys are doing amazing and I hope your company flourishes . If you are feeling iffy about this place, don't, because they are amazing .

65 and grey haired totally. Went in trying to figure out what to do for more body, bangs or no…read morebangs and Kathy was a great listener. Told me why she thought she should do the cut she did and I was thrilled .... turns out it looks really great. Was my first time there and you have to know what your looking for otherwise you might just miss it. I scoped out a few days before my appt. They have four painted parking spaces; however, one has a third of the parking space taken up by a dumpster. The next two are fine and the last space is for handicap parking. You can park across the street in a secure parking lot but then you have to cross McCullough Avenue. It wasn't a problem for me as far as problems go, but McCullough Avenue is tricky when you're driving a car much less trying to cross the street ..... next time I'll wait across the street and pull into a parking space as soon as it opens up. For me, because I'm 65 years young, it's the best solution.

I normally do not write reviews but I feel like I have to warn others about my experience here. I…read morewent to this salon on November 15, 2023 trying to save some money and booked with a level 1 stylist fresh out of cosmetology school. I deeply regret that decision. I asked for simple curtain bangs and the stylist completely butchered the right side of my hair. She told me she was fresh out of cosmetology school and it honestly showed. The cut was uneven, choppy, and way shorter than I asked for. It was so bad that I have been self conscious about my hair ever since. What makes it worse is that my hair has never been the same. I take very good care of my hair and it used to grow evenly and healthy. Three years later and that section still has not grown back properly. I have had to style around it constantly and it has been extremely frustrating. I trusted this salon and left feeling upset and embarrassed. If you care about your hair at all, I would strongly reconsider booking with a level 1 stylist here. Saving money is not worth dealing with damage that lasts for years.

First of all, it was very difficult…read moreto find--it's tucked away inside a large building on the 5th floor with little to no helpful direction. What made matters worse is that they do not accept walk-ins, which would be fine if they were actually responsive. I called three separate times and not a single call was answered. No callback, no communication, nothing. Because I couldn't get through to anyone, I had no choice but to go there in person just to ask about appointment availability--only to be told they don't take walk-ins. The lack of basic customer service and communication is unacceptable. If you expect people to schedule ahead, the least you can do is answer your phone. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend unless you have a lot of time and patience to deal with the hassle.

Which totally defeated the purpose of paying to get my hair done. I think the only thing that I liked on my makeup was the eyeshadow, the lashes had lifted at one end of both eyes. My stylist was Lili, I don't think I would return or recommend, especially for the money spent and dissatisfaction of the results. Also, I understood that the salon was located downtown and how I would have to pay for parking because of it, however, I had even asked via text message if they recommended a place to park which they were helpful in sending a picture of one and with it showing their side door for me to enter on the weekend. However, when I got up to the salon, they had asked me for my license plate information to cover or waive the parking expense. Unfortunately, this information wasn't relayed to me in advance that they would be covering the parking expense and the parking lot states you have to pay when you park and when I told her I had already paid for it nobody told me anything even when I asked ahead where to park, Lili's response was "oh well next time." It would have been nice to save the $21.56 that I had spent for 2 hours of parking. Again, super appreciative that they even offer this it's just nice that if it is offered that the information is relayed so I could have appreciated/benefited from it as well.

Don't expect clear communication about the pricing. Instead of being told what I was going to pay, I was asked twice if I had read the website. The website includes photos, and four tabs. One of the tabs is services and that does include pricing. The fault is mine for not reading more carefully. That being said, the person doing my service literally never said a number. If you are willing to charge that much, you should be willing to say it out loud to your client. I was told I had to submit a deposit for half of my appointment. When I looked back, I only had to submit a deposit of $89 which was half of my $178 for partial highlights. This didn't help me to realize I'd be charged an extra $550 for my haircut. It was a cruel shock to leave with my hair looking nice to realize my total for the day was $728. Again, the fault is mine for not reading all of the website more carefully, but I hope no one else has to have this cruel shock. This salon is not willing to use spoken words to convey their fees. You will only get this information from the website. This is a shocking lack of professionalism and courtesy.
