This yelp needs to be updated as shamso has reopened earlier this year.. but just WOW! As a woman who covers for religious purposes (Im a hijabi), shamso is a safe haven! This private, woman-owned salon is perfect for those who cover & any other woman who just wants to feel beautiful! It was super easy to book an appointment over the phone. I told them what I wanted and got a reasonable quote within minutes. The stylist Angie gave me exactly what I wanted! I wish I could share a photo of my beautiful layered cut with a fabulous blow out but I wear the hijab. She made me look like a new person! They also offer facials & other beauty related services. Shamso is truly a hidden gem! Very unassuming on the outside but once you go in, you will see how beautiful the salon is and how wonderful these ladies are. They are offering a promotion so get there quickly :) read more

Such a great and warm environment. They were really lovely and made sure my daughters were extremely comfortable while they did their hair. Will Absolutely come again read more

I got my hair washed, blow dried then straighten and I love it!! I don't think my hair has ever been this silky and smooth before. Naima is the best at what she does and is so friendly. This salon is 100% hijab friendly. I was able to dress freely and comfortably without worrying someone may see me. The price for the amount of time and care she put into my hair is unbeatable. I will definitely be coming back. Alhamduliah for Shamso Hair Studio and spa. read more

This experience was one of the best for me. It has been so hard for me to find someone to go to that I can trust especially as a hijabi as well as someone with curly hair. This salon truly was such a great experience for me. The lady who cut my hair took her time throughout my entire appointment and I could tell that both her and shamso care so much about their clients feeling good and happy about themselves once they look into the mirror. It was a beautiful experience to be a part of, truly. I highly recommend this salon to anyone:) read more

I got the best haircut of my life under the expert care of Shamso. It was one of those experiences you wish for. First of all, she listened to what I wanted. Then she gave me some professional advice based on the quality of my hair. But she didn't try to sell me on something else--she was frank with me about what would work, what probably wouldn't, and how we could realistically get as close to what I wanted. When she got down to cutting my hair, she was precise and took her time to achieve the look I wanted, pausing at crucial points to get my feedback and adjust her work. You could really tell from the way she worked that she took the art seriously. As we talked, I found out she takes a very ethical approach to her line of work. She's knows you're entrusting her with something very personal and she's committed to making your hair look great, even weeks after you've left the salon. If she knows the treatment you're looking for is going to damage your hair and make you unhappy soon after, she'll let you know and offer alternatives and solutions. She's also lovely to talk to, kind and smart. What more could you want? This is the type of person you want caring for your hair for a lifetime. The salon, by the way, is gorgeous. It's elegant and calming right as you enter the door. You feel like you're in a spa to be pampered. For us Muslim hijabi ladies--or any others that just want a ladies-only space to unwind--this place is a dream. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I had a great experience at Shamso! I called today to see if she accepted walk ins and she went out of her way to accommodate me. When you walk in you are greeted by friendly staff and a beautiful fountain display. The salon is decorated with delicate lights above the hair stations and several chandeliers. Shamso the owner did a silk press/blow out on my 3b hair and gave me a trim to keep my hair healthy. I was worried about losing length but Shamso assured me my hair style would still look similar only healthier. She was right! Shamso cares about each customers experience and wants you to be happy when you walk out the door. I was having a really stressful day and just being around Shamso and her beautiful spa helped me relax and unwind. She is also a really fun person to talk to. I can't wait to come back more frequently and support this Muslim woman owned business. I'm so excited that getting my hair done can now be a more regular occurrence. The pricing was also extremely reasonable!!! read more

Staff are very friendly and awesome. The environment is great. I will go to Shamso to have my hair done biweekly.

I've been to SHAMSO's hair studio spa multiple times now and I absolutely love it !! The staff is very professional and the salon itself is beautiful...from the front salon stations to the back hair washing stations I just love being in this beautiful space. I would highly recommend SHAMSO's hair studio spa to anyone looking for an affordable well rounded experience to get their hair/ makeup and or Henna done! read more
