We are from out of town and Mom needed a haircut. We are so happy we found this little gem! First of all, everyone including who called us back to make an appointment was so sweet and pleasant! Julie cut Mom's hair, I showed Julie a picture of an "Asian" bob Mom wanted and Julie delivered! Mom's haircut was even more beautiful than the inspo pictures! Julie made her look so young and fresh! Mom is so happy with the results! I also told Julie Mom had knee issues and totally guided mom as they walked to the hair washing station, Julie is so amazing and genuinely so caring! If we lived here, we would go here monthly! If you need any type of cut, Julie is the BEST!! read more

I've been going to Katie for a few years now and absolutely love her work - she always nails the color I want. I always get compliments on how natural of a blonde I look - when I am clearly not. read more

when I first moved to Texas, I had a hard time finding a hairdresser that could do my hair the way I liked. Then someone told me about Shag the Salon and Amanda started doing my hair. I've gone nowhere else since that day, or wanted too. Amanda knows her clients and talks to them and gives her recommendations so we don't make dumb choices. The whole staff is fantastic! They have great energy. most amazing of all, is everyone working at Shag is top notch and skilled at what they do. Hands down, the best salon I've been to in my 57 years! read more

As soon as my car enters the parking lot to Shag, I relax. I know that Kayla will have me looking back to new in no time at all. I have been seeing Kayla for 17+ years and have never left disappointed. We have evolved my look over the years with her knowledge and expertise. Plus, she's just fun to be around! We book my every four-week appointments for the entire year, so that I never have to miss getting freshened up. Love this place and have shared with family, friends, and strangers that compliment my cut on the street! read more

First time at Shag and couldn't be happier with my haircut. I've been bouncing between stylists/salons for the last year and I'm finally done searching. Amanda did a fantastic job with my short, wavy bob. She was very communicative and asked several questions about what I wanted and made sure I was happy with the style as she was cutting. The salon is clean, colorful, and comfortable. I highly recommend. read more

I asked for a simple trim on the back of my hair and a frame face in the front. I got the frame face in the front but LAYERS in the back. I am very upset and disappointed at Julie. I kept asking if she was layering my hair since I had never had anyone trim my hair by holding it up in the air but she kept assuring me that it was not. The layers are 4 inches short from the longest piece. I never had layers, never wanted them and I don't understand why it so hard to give the customer what they want. It was a simple trim in the back that I wanted. I never mentioned that I wanted layers. Im very upset and disappointed and regret going to this place. read more

I came in with frizzy, fly away old lady hair and left with a fresh new style. Amanda really listened to my ideas and added a few of her own. She tried out different lengths and made suggestions. I love my short fringed bangs and a shaved area underneath in the back with a special reveal when I want to pull my hair up. Amanda did a great job! read more

I had a wonderful hair experience. Cameron took her time and gave me an amazing fresh haircut...thank you!

I went here to see Katie for my first appointment. I hired her for a trim and bangs. When I called, the person on the phone told me Katie would most likely charge me $40 because of my hair type. Katie charged me $57. While that phone call was not Katie's fault, it was not a good experience. I don't think I would have minded the tab if I got the simple haircut I asked for. I didn't have my hair trimmed for almost a year before I went to her + asked her to get rid of the dead hair. That's all I wanted. When I got home, I started brushing through my hair, and the ends were STILL sticking because my hair was still damaged at the ends. I asked her to also clean up the layers. My hair is all one length...? I tried to call the salon days later and leave a message to see if I could come back in. No one ever returned my call. This was so disappointing. read more

I've been going to shag salon and Keith ever since covid started. I left my previous hairstylist bc I didn't agree with their policy but I like the precautions shag salon takes during covid. None the less I was glad I tried shag salon because I got to work with Keith, the owner who was great. Loved how my hair would turn out. I got highlights and haircuts with him. 2 stars review after today service and I won't be returning. Keith was out of town so I was assisted by another hair stylist. But the terrible service came from the manager who checked me out. The price was higher than my usual amount I was charged. I question the charged and the manager just kept saying that's what you were charged the first time. I said yes but first time was highlights all over. Every time after has being root touch up. We went back and fourth and she eventually just charged my card without my consent. When I told her that I had not agreed to being charged that amount she said " well you need to pay for your Sevice and I'm the manger so ". That was it. That was her statement to me. I didn't say I wasn't going to pay for my service, I was trying to understand the charge. She didn't care to take the time to help me understand it. At this point I just left and won't return which is unfortunate because it's hard to find a great stylist who can do your hair the way you like it. I planned to just email owner about today service. But when when I asked for owner email she gave me a generic email for salon. And I said I'm sure you have access to this email , does Keith have a direct email. She said no I don't have access ,That goes just to Keith. Yeah right lady. Your the manger and you don't get emails from "info@shagsalon.com. Hair stylist was nice. But left my ear with quite a bit of hair color. She rushed at the end. For $170 that should not happen. read more

I came here after looking for a salon open on Sundays, with great reviews. Keith took GREAT care of me. Have me a trim and a full foil to lighten my hair and get me closer to blonde. My hair is still very soft, not fried at all and the layers keep it thin enough that I'm not dying in the heat with it down as I have very thick hair naturally. read more

Go see Teresa at Shag! She is knowledgeable, a natural genius with color, and friendly and fun to boot! She has gone out of her way to accommodate my schedule many times! I always feel brand new after time spent in her chair. That's the main reason why I followed her from her previous location to Shag, where she is now. Shag itself is clean and nicely decorated with plenty of parking available. Right near North Star Mall and the freeway, it's a very convenient location. Go check it out! read more

First time here, Linda did an amazing job on my hair today!! She took her time styling my hair and gave me exactly what I wanted. Glad I came in. I will be back. Also, they don't charge for bang trims which is great. :) read more

Favorite hair salon in all of San Antonio! When I first moved here I tried several places, and unfortunately lost some hair, but luckily I found Shag. The stylists here know exactly what they re doing with hair and take the time to listen to your wants. I had an appointment with Kayla, per my boyfriends recommendation and she NAILED my pixie cut without batting an eye! I will forever be going here as long as I live in SA. read more

Needed a haircut desperately & this place was recommended by a friend. I LOVE THIS PLACE ALREADY!!! Unikue is the best!!! Told her what I wanted and she did even BETTER!!! Definitely will be going back!! The staff is so sweet and friendly. If you ever need a cut this is the salon to go to!!! read more

Shag The Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I was a loyal customer for years and recommended the place to everyone. Then one day the owner gave me one of the worst haircuts of my life. Okay, mistakes happen and hair grows out but when I suggested (while still at the salon) that he try to correct it, he sent me home and told me to "see how it works after a few days". I immediately called to tell him how disappointed I was but no apology or refund was offered. I've since spoken with others who have reported the same experience. Sad, 'cuz he's a nice guy and it's a fun space. read more

I have been going to Shag since 2005, and I too have recommended the salon to a lot of friends. The atmosphere is great and I always get offered a refreshment. I've always had decent haircuts, though occasionally I still leave with split ends, and I have always had a nice new hair color when I leave too. Some of my friends like the salon and others thought it was ok. Shag is relatively inexpensive in comparison with other local salons, so I would say in this case the old saying is true-you get what you pay for. read more

I absolutely love Shag The Salon! Kayla is a magician and I have literally tried nearly every salon in San Antonio and New Braunfels for the past 15 years!!! I had come to the conclusion that I was doomed I until I met Kayla appropriately 6-8 months ago!! She is truly an artist and loves what she does ... and it shows!!!! I have found my girl!! Thank you Kayla for making me feel like a 57 year old rock star every time I leave the salon!!! Much love, appreciation and admiration for what you do!!! read more

Please go see Teresa Marez at Shag Salon! She is extremely talented and has your best interests at heart. She can meet all your expectations and then some...even ones you didn't think were your style, you'll leave looking AMAZING! Reasonable prices and exceptional service awaits you. read more

Linda and Amanda worked wonders on my hair and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied before I left. We did a major color correction which took 6+ hours. I'm so extremely happy with the level of care and attention I received. My only suggestion to the owners is to invest in OLAPLEX. It has been a lifesaver throughout the many times I've lifted and colored my hair. And PLEASE Invest in wet brushes. I have very fine stringy hair and it is a pain to brush through without a wet brush. read more

They charge an awful lot just to be rude to you the whole time. They don't even make an effort to give you what you want and they have a nasty attitude when you ask about it. Never coming here again and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Very friendly place. They greet you as soon as you walk in. Very welcoming place. Highly recommend ! Amanda did my daughters hair for prom. She did exactly what my daughter wanted and it was beautiful. My daughter was very happy. All the staff is great, you can't go wrong! read more

I'm pretty sure this is the best haircut I've ever had. This is my new salon.

This is the only salon I will go to here in San Antonio. The service is awesome, and they give me just what I ask for. Their prices are reasonable, and the ambiance is fun. I was nervous to come in after I saw how nice their website was but went in anyway... So glad I did. Katie is super at cutting hair. read more

Got my hair straightened by David with Yuko last year, and the results were more fabulous than i expected! I naturally have wavy frizzy hair, and it is now perfectly straight, smooth and frizz free! Best of all, my routine at home is simply wash and air dry, with an occasional round brush and blowdry of my bangs if i'm feeling motivated. You have to have very healthy strong unaltered hair to be a candidate for it, and you Must follow directions right after it's done: no water in the hair for 3 days right after and no dyes until at least one week has passed. David will evaluate your hair and explain it if you go in for a consultation. He is a true professional and very detail oriented. Yuko may seem expensive, but it is permanent and takes HOURS to apply in a very specific method. Once it's done, your hair will be beautiful with little to no effort, not even needing special shampoos. I use Bed Head. I went from a drawerful of hair products to just two Yuko sprays, and I probably didn't Really need the finishing spray, but I loved the extra shine. The ONLY downside is that once your roots start to grow out you're not going to want to go back to your old frizzy hair! A few months before a full year I went back to get the roots done. Touchups are just as expensive as when you first get it done, (they take just as long) but it's addictive to have maintenance free beautiful hair. My hair seemed a little more fragile after the touchup, but still got a great result. I highly recommend this salon and David in particular! read more

I went yesterday for a haircut, and was assigned to a young lady who unfortunately wasn't feeling very well (which happens, not upset about this). But she left halfway through the haircut, and another stylist took over (the owner?). He was very nice about it, but I'm not sure how well they communicated about where she was at in the cutting process. He started cutting, but I had to sort of remind him of what i had been going for after he started. I thought things looked just ok when i left, and I'm generally quite un-picky about haircuts. But by the time the evening wore on, it was clear the style didn't look good at all. I washed my hair this morning and styled it myself, and it's pretty obvious that the two sides of my head were cut very differently with totally unmatching layers. The owner was very kind about things and asked me to come back if i wasn't happy, but I confess that I don't have a lot of faith in returning. I know many other people have come here and had a great experience, and I'm sure that many great haircuts are done here. But this was my experience, and I'll be going someplace else to get the cut fixed. read more

I have always been apprehensive about going to get my hair cut by hairstylists, as I had been jaded by a bad experience I once had at a salon. My brother suggested that I try The Shag and since I really liked the hairstyle he was given there I said, "What the heck." I'm not going to lie to you when I first went there I was a bit nervous, it seemed very high-end and my insecurities got the best of me. However, when I went inside it was so ultra-laid back and everybody there treated me like they had known me all their life. I got my hair cut by Kayla who is super-talented, friendly and knowledgeable. Even when she used her salon-speak, and since I am not versed in the lingo, she broke it down to the most simplest terms. But more importantly she listens to you and offers suggestions. If you are fixing to revamp your look or trying to find a new style try The Shag. They are beyond awesome!~ Shag Super-Fan... read more

Good luck to shag in their big move to North Star mall! I've had my hair done a few times here and have always been pleased!!

I really like this place. The owners (Keith and David ) are great with customer service and with their cuts.

I've been going to David Reed for almost 10 years. He is great with color and I have never been disappointed with his stylish cuts. The salon has a fun, yet cozy atmosphere and David and Keith treat their customers like queens! read more

I've always been a bit apprehensive about salons but they are awesome! They take the time to do the cut right and make sure you like it. They have a really nice staff and make sure that you have an enjoyable experience. I don't become a regular to many places, but I won't get my haircut anywhere else. read more

I have been a customer of Kayla C.'s for years. She is by far the best stylist in San Antonio. Her styles are cutting edge and she takes great care in making sure you get the cut and style that you want. I have made the mistake of going somewhere else when I couldn't get an appointment on short notice and I have ALWAYS regretted it. I won't let anyone else cut my hair, and I have learned to allow a few days advance notice. I have referred several friends and family who also love her work. read more

Amber did an AMAZING job on my eyebrows! It was completely painless and fast. She really listened to what I wanted and did my eyebrows exactly how I asked. No one ever gets it right. Also, she's an amazing person! Definitely recommend getting eyebrows done at shag salon as well as hair. read more

Best Salon ever. great cuts, fabulous color, super customer service

Great vibe and kind staff. I can always feel like I've gotten a good haircut when I leave. Thanks!!

The new place is just as cool as the old one--hell, even cooler. Staff is always friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. Until I went to Shag, and let Kayla cut my hair, I don't know that I'd ever had a haircut that pleased me. Kayla's wonderful, the guys are great, and it's fun place to spend some time and get a great cut. read more

My experience at Shag was amazing. Amanda Lee is a genius with shears. She gave me the best haircut I have ever had! Exactly what I wanted, and even improved on it. She took her time throughout the process to allow me to make decisions along the way. No rushing anyone out of the chair here. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. Their commitment to excellent customer service in a friendly and fun environment is second to none. The prices are very reasonable and I wasn't pressured to spend a fortune on product. The entire salon is super clean and beautifully decorated. Plus... Wine. I really can't say enough good things about Shag. If you are ready to get a SLAMMING cut or color, drop what you are doing and go see Amanda Lee!!! read more
